"Professor Xu Hua, can you sit here...... The other professors move forward and sit down when there is a vacancy. ”

The person who picked up Xu Hua and a few other professors said again,

One hand was still pulling the arm of the visitor, Xu Hua stretched out his other hand and groped forward carefully,

He touched something that resembled smooth wood,

Moving his hand to the side, he figured out that it was the edge of a conference table.

One hand grabbed the edge of the conference table, and the other fumbled to the side,

Logically, the chair is next to the conference table,

He moved clumsily, carefully, and after several attempts, he finally touched the back of the seat,

After poking down further and determining the position of the chair, Xu Hua sat down on the edge of the conference table.

While Xu Hua fumbled to sit down at the conference table,

This seems to be a meeting room, and there are other noisy sounds,

Someone whispered, someone fumbled and pulled the stool, and even Xu Hua seemed to hear someone seem to have fallen and even fell down with the stool.

When the loud bang sounded, the whole conference room suddenly fell silent,

Xu Hua's movements froze, as did the others.

for he knew not what had happened, until the man who had fallen spoke up,

A group of people continued their groping and slow movements again,

These stumbling movements made Xu Hua relax a little,

Although the various sounds were a little noisy, at least they could make Xu Hua feel that there were people around him, rather than him alone facing the darkness.

Finally, it seemed that everyone sat down.

The sound of squirming stopped,

The whole conference room became very quiet again, no one spoke, no one moved,

I can't feel that someone is there, this feeling is inexplicably unsettling,

Xu Hua couldn't help but move the seat, and the sound of the seat moving sounded.

And it seemed that other people, like him, moved their seats one after another,

It was a little noisy, but it made Xu Hua breathe a sigh of relief.

“…… Ladies and gentlemen, I am Qin Anmin. ”

At this time, a familiar voice sounded.

It was probably coming from Xu Hua's left front, the same voice in the previous radio speech,

This is the head of the country.

Xu Hua turned his head in that direction.

He didn't know if his eyes were exactly facing that direction, all he had in front of him was the darkness after blindness.

He didn't even know that the Führer seemed to be there,

Maybe it's just a device for broadcasting or calling?

"I'm right here, in this conference room."

As if to guess what everyone was thinking, the Führer's voice rang out again.

The room was still quiet, no one was silent, except for the occasional move of their seats.

"You should already know the purpose of your visit."

"We have lost our light, we have lost our vision. Including me, including a lot of people, according to what we know now, it should be everyone. ”

“…… All the people of the whole world went blind overnight. ”

After the Führer's words fell, the whole conference room became quieter, and even the sound of stools moving was gone.

"Everyone?"

Someone muttered, the voice clear in this dead room,

"Yes. All of them. All of us have lost visual perception. ”

"You are experts in your field, arguably the wisest people in the world, and you are here to find out what happened...... And, what do we do. ”

The Führer's voice came from the front again,

It reached the ears of all who attended.

The conference room was silent, dead and depressing.

Xu Hua faced the darkness in front of him,

It seemed that someone was faintly hearing a slight sigh in his ears, and there was more than one person.

When the experts here heard the news again, they already had some imagination about what would happen in the future.

And Xu Hua, who got this information in advance, already knew why this conference still called him to study astrophysics and cosmic physics.

All mankind is blind at the same time,

can cause this

The possibility of the disease is already very small,

Even if it's some kind of virus that spreads all over the world in a short period of time,

It is also unlikely to have been born naturally.

That's probably very little.

Act of God?

What happened to this universe?

Man-made disaster?

A powerful alien civilization is experimenting?

“…… We've got some information, and we're sharing it with you for some ideas. ”

It seems that the Führer was also silent for a while, and finally said this.

Immediately after,

The direction from which the voice of the words came changed places, and the voice of the words also changed.

"I am a researcher of ophthalmology diseases in the Capital Hospital, Qian Zhenhua."

This is the voice of an old man who is a little old and tired at the same time,

Xu Hua had a slight impression of this ophthalmology professor, who seemed to be a well-known professor of ophthalmology.

"After the incident, we used the instrument to do some tests on our eye parts."

"The conclusion is that there should be no lesions and changes in our eyeballs. Our eyes or visual system are still the same, but unfortunately, we just can't see them. ”

“…… It's just a pity that this conclusion is a judgment made by the latest detection AI, and it is the conclusion made by the instrument itself. We are also blind, and it is difficult to make some observations of the eyeballs themselves. ”

“…… That's the information that we can provide, and that's why some of the professors who seem to have a field of study that have nothing to do with this issue are here. ”

After the ophthalmology professor finished talking about the information on the human eye and visual system, he sat down again.

“…… In addition, the light is still there. Even the sun is still there. ”

“…… It's still morning, and it's a sunny day in the capital today. When you came out of the building, you could still feel the sunlight. ”

Another professor stood up to explain the message.

Immediately after, the entire conference room fell silent again.

Xu Hua was also silent, and the darkness in front of him made him unconsciously put his hand on the conference table,

I want to touch something with my hands and perceive my surroundings.

“…… Guys, this is the situation we're facing, we don't seem to have anything wrong with our eyes, the light still seems to be there. But we're blind, and all of humanity is blind. ”

“…… Everyone, all of you in the room, and all the experts and professors who are joining this meeting by phone, tell us what might have happened to us. ”

The Führer's words sounded again.

But there was silence in the conference room.

"If there is no problem with the eyeball, then there is something wrong with the nerves in the visual aspect, or even the brain, in processing images, etc."

It took a long time for someone to ask.

“…… Can't be sure. We didn't know enough about the human brain, and now there are many tests that we can't use. Observation, detection...... You need to use your eyes. ”

It seems that a professor of medicine answered this sentence,

“…… Let's assume that there is nothing wrong with our visual system and that the light is still propagating normally. Could it be a natural disaster, a change in some tiny physical constant? ”

“…… Or is it some other civilization...... The fact that everyone in the world is blind is clearly not something that human forces can do! ”

“…… What's the use of making these guesses! If it's an alien civilization! An alien civilization that can do this is fundamentally overwhelming to our technology, what can we do? ”

“…… And if such a tiny physical constant changes, such a tiny physical constant change, we can't detect it at all, it was undetectable before, and it is even more impossible now! ”

Maybe it's because of this disaster, and now because of the loss of my own vision,

After the professors in the conference room discussed for a while, one professor said this irritably.

"Hey......"

Xu Hua also sighed.
