001. Total solar eclipse

Next Chapter

The trees are shady, and the ancient camphor covers the sky;

The small bridge flows water, and the winding path leads to seclusion.

That's a description of the campus of Shengjing University, and more precisely, a description of the park next to the teaching area of Shengjing University.

Shengjing University is a century-old school, from the original private school in the imperial examination era to today's Chinese institutions of higher learning, the ancient camphor tree has witnessed its history.

Today is a once-in-a-decade total solar eclipse, and at this time, the picturesque park is sparsely populated with students, with only three or two single dogs holding books and working hard, and the rest of the students have made an appointment in pairs to occupy the roof of the school building, ready to enjoy the wonders that have only happened once in decades.

Ryuta belongs to the single dog among single dogs, and his grades have always been good, so he belongs to one of the three or two hard-working students.

He would have had a happy family with parents and an older sister.

It's a pity that when he was six years old, the whole family drove to the outing on the way, was overloaded by an overloaded engineering truck to grab the road and overturned, the engineering truck and the whole vehicle of the stone pressed on their car, after everyone worked hard to rescue, his parents and sister died one after another, and he was the only one who survived.

Although the unit where the engineering vehicle was located at that time took out part of the money for rescue, after all, it was a drop in the bucket, but in order to rescue their parents and sister, their grandfather was in a hurry to sell the house where Mrs. Long lived to others.

His parents and sister were not saved, his grandfather also fell, and he died within a few days, and Ryuta became a real orphan.

Fortunately, the unit where the engineering vehicle is located has a good benefit, and through legal aid, the compensation for the three lives of the Long Tai family and a car is considerable, which is enough to allow Long Tai to have all the study expenses and living expenses from primary school to university, and even until he leaves the society, he has a lot of business start-up funds.

Although Mrs. Long looks good, although she knows that Mrs. Long has a sum of money, but he is usually very picky, and he doesn't even have a place to live, so Mrs. Long is a single dog among single dogs, because other single dogs are likely to get off the single at all times, but he can't take it off, because no one pays attention to him, most people just treat him as air, there are not many of him, and there is not much without him.

At this moment, Long Tai rested his head on the book, lying under the ancient camphor tree, and found a place where he could see the sun in the dense towering branches and leaves.

Turning around and looking at the roof of the teaching building not far away, those students in pairs have already hooked their shoulders at this time, and when it is dark, those surviving first kisses will definitely be taken away by the appearance of this total solar eclipse.

Now idle and bored, Long Tai saw that there was a small camphor tree with a thick thumb next to the ancient camphor tree, and the branches and leaves were sparse, so he took out a pin and carved the words 'Long Tai 160722' on the torso.

Hearing that these words will get bigger and deeper as the tree grows, Long Tai fantasizes that this small camphor tree can last for hundreds of years like the big camphor tree around her, so her unintentional act just now may not necessarily become the most storytelling part of Shengjing University in the future.

people say awesome things, but they never dare to do awesome things in a low-key manner; low-key people can't speak, but they often do things that are awesome.

When Long Tai was thinking about it in his heart, the sun had already gathered its ten thousand rays, and the mountains and fields in the distance seemed to be gradually covered by an infinite black cloth, spreading rapidly.

The darkness swallowed up like a giant beast towards Ryuta's place, and the school building fell silent after a shocking sensation, and the world returned to darkness.

Ryuta wondered if the teachers were deliberately creating opportunities for the students, not even turning on the lights, the darkness at this time was hopeless, there was no trace of life, only the barking of dogs in the distance, only to understand that the world still exists.

It's as if you are standing under the scorching sun at noon, and in the blink of an eye into the wilderness at two o'clock in the morning, Ryuta hears his own 'bang' heartbeat, and feels that his whole heart is about to fly out, and the whole person has an indescribable sense of oppression.

"Boom-boom-" There was a flash of lightning, and the sky seemed to be split by a giant axe, followed by a thunderclap, and Ryuta heard a frightened cry from the other side of the school building.

Everyone knows that when the total solar eclipse appears, the wind is beautiful and the sky is clear, and lightning and thunder are completely impossible.

You must know that it is the roof of the teaching building, if anyone is in the same mood as Long Tai now, he may not be able to stand jumping off the building.

'Boom-snap--' was another bolt of lightning, more fierce than just now, as if there was a giant standing in the sky, angrily flicking the leather whip, the leather whip split the dark sky, the end of the leather whip was getting closer and closer to Long Tai, and finally another strong lightning, the end of the leather whip hit the ancient camphor tree, the ancient camphor tree was split, collapsed, Long Tai wanted to escape, but the whip had a strong suction force to suck himself there, his feet desperately wanted to insert themselves into the dirt to stabilize himself, but the body was involuntarily sucked over。

Ryuta felt himself enter a powerful whirlpool, although his strong battle was to no avail, and he flew quickly in the whirlpool, a machine-like synthetic voice announced:

"Delete old system memories to start ......"

Ryuta felt that his memories were like being stripped away from his body, and he tried his best to resist, just like he resisted when he was crushed under the stones, and those memories that were stripped away were firmly pulled back by his own thoughts.

"Deletion of memories met strong resistance, deletion failed ......"

The spiral nest is getting faster and faster, and it is getting more and more urgent, and Ryuta feels that he has become a part of the spiral nest.

"The new system implant begins to ......"

"Charisma is implanted in ......"

"Affinity implantation in ......"

"Strength is implanted in ......"

......

Ryuta couldn't tell whether he was spinning or stopping in the spiral nest, and felt that he was already in sync with the spiral nest.

"Charisma 500......"

"Affinity 300......"

"Strength 100......"

......

Then there are the charm values: focus, confidence, inspiration, innovation.....

The same affinities emerge: transparency, integrity, passion, patience.....

The mechanical voice continues:

"Authentication has ended and branding is complete......"

"The LCD implantation is complete and the ...... is displayed successfully"

.....

Ryuta felt a tingling pain in an inch of his right wrist.

The whirlpool continued, and after a moment it was like a fluttering kite.

It's as easy as dreaming of being chased by others and then jumping off a cliff by yourself, and you often wake up when you dream before you fall to the bottom.

Ryuta felt like he was awake, but his body was still dangling because his feet couldn't find a place to support.

There was light all around the body, but it was still the same pitch black outside, and I couldn't see clearly, but in my ears I heard the sound of waves crashing against the reef.

"Is he dead? But he feels alive, and he remembers everything clearly. ”

"Could it be that the reason why I haven't drunk Meng Po soup yet, and I haven't started to cross the Nai He Bridge yet?"

......

Ryuta stretched out his hand to touch the light around his body, and when his hand was about to touch it, the light spread out, and his body shook a little, and a little light on his hand was flickering and moving.

"That's a firefly, and I was held up in mid-air by a lot of fireflies. ”

It's incredible, how can those weak beings hold up their bodies?

But that's just the way it is.

Ryuta's feet touched the ground, a little soft, it was sandy because the sound of the waves was around.

Ryuta stood up, and those fireflies scattered in all directions, flew away, and gathered in mid-air, forming a beautiful wreath, which stayed for at least ten minutes.

The fireflies continued to fly, scattering in all directions, and then falling one after another, like the Milky Way and like a waterfall in mid-air.

The beauty is only in an instant, those fireflies fall on the beach, from near to far.

Suddenly there was a dense and rapid sound of footsteps on the shore, as well as the flickering pillar of light of a flashlight, and Ryuta hurriedly ducked behind a large reef nearby.

"It's here, it's supposed to be here......"

The group of people jumped into the beach from a great height, and everyone took pictures one after another, and the flash flashed one after another.

Suddenly, someone on the shore shouted: "It's a dragon, it's a dragon, everyone come up and take a look......"

People on the beach rush to the embankment like a tidal wave.

"Look, there's a dragon's head, and there's a dragon's horn. ”

"There is also a dragon's eye, everyone look at it, the eyes will still move. ”

"The dragon's tail is also moving. ”

"Long Fada, go and call the village chief. ”

The man named Long Fu Fu ran quickly with a 'sigh'.

"These are all fireflies, you must know that fireflies have been extinct for more than 200 years, how can there be so many at once at night, Long Zhiren, did you take pictures of everything that appeared in the sky just now?"

"Second uncle, it's all filmed, it's a miracle. ”

"The village chief is here, the village chief is here, everyone let me go. ”

Long Tai was far away, and he couldn't see the village chief's face clearly, but he saw that the village chief's beard was thirty centimeters long, and he must be quite old.

"Village chief, look, the beach is full of fireflies, and they pose like a living dragon, is it that the ancestor has appeared?"

Several older women who had come with the village chief had already knelt down when they saw this scene, and their mouths were full of words.

The village chief also knelt down, and when everyone saw the village chief like this, they knelt down one after another.

The village chief kowtowed three times, sat on his chest in the shape of a palm with his right hand and said: "The ancestors appeared, I hope the ancestors will bless me and send me the people of Jindan in Wolong Village." ”

Seeing that everyone's attention was there, Long Tai moved his waist to the side, because he felt that the sea water was slowly losing his feet, and it must have begun to rise tide, and if he didn't move things, he would be submerged by the sea.

Long Tai looked at those fireflies distressedly, none of them seemed to fly away, and couldn't help but think in his heart: Fly quickly, or you will be submerged by the sea later.

For Long Tai, these fireflies are his benefactors, and it is so many fireflies that support their bodies in mid-air so that they don't fall down, if they die for themselves, how can they be happy in their hearts.

I didn't kill Beren, but Beren died because of me.

Ryuta moved his body while looking at the fireflies, hoping that they would fly away from the sand.

Suddenly, a hand slapped on Ryuta's shoulder, Ryuta turned around in shock, only to see the man put a finger to his lips, make a silent motion, and then whispered, "Follow me, don't be found by them." ”
