Stray Chapter 104: Apocalypse
"Then did you send him money?"
Xia Ran seemed to be interested.
"It's all a joke..." The girl waved her hand, "Do you think I'm such a stupid person?"
"Also, although I know you're not me, and you're not like me at all, but if I'm really that stupid, I have to think about how to hide this dark history..." Xia Ran thought for a while , nodded thoughtfully, but what he said was a little alarmist.
"Huh? What are you talking about, I'm not you, I'm not like you..." Xia Ran couldn't quite understand the meaning of this sentence, but she felt a chill for no reason.
Is this some kind of psychological trick?
Do you want to arouse your curiosity through confounding words, so as to regain the initiative? No, no, she couldn't be fooled so easily, and the girl felt that she understood the key in her thoughts.
"It's nothing." The young monk shook his head at the girl, showing a kind smile, and then said with a serious tone as if changing the subject, "Are you really not thinking about it anymore? The future direction of this world, but Just between your thoughts..."
"Hmm... Master, you have such a thick skin, you have already seen through it, can you still continue to deceive as if nothing happened?" The girl showed a subtle expression, her eyes also Instantly switched to contempt mode, but in addition to contempt, there was more or less admiration.
Sure enough!
This funny liar hasn't given up yet, and is still going to continue to fool her. He doesn't even plan to change the set of funny tricks. He even plans to continue to use it after being exposed... This is too much for his own IQ. Is she a little more confident, or is she underestimating her IQ?
"What you see through, it's just what you think, I don't admit it."
Xia Ran shook her head again, with a tone of "I don't want you to think, I want me to think".
The girl almost laughed out loud, what is this? Righteous robber logic? As long as you don't admit that you are cheating, then you are not cheating?
But she didn't change her mind because of this. After all, this kind of deception is really too old-fashioned. If she can be deceived like this, she will feel sorry for her IQ... She raised her fair and slender wrist and looked at it. At a glance, Xia Ran pretended to suddenly realize that it was getting late:
"Oh, it's already this point, and I'm going to prepare to go back... So that's it for this time, Master, bye bye."
“…”
“…”
The young monk silently glanced at the girl's white wrist, which was as smooth as jade and smooth as grease, but the point was not this, but that there was no watch on the wrist at all.
retracted the foreword, in a sense, she is still very similar to her in some aspects...
seemed to be a little helpless and smiled, he didn't say anything, just put his hands together and nodded lightly: "If that's the case, then you can go, but I've already given It's just that you gave up on your own initiative, so I'll arrange the world from now on, no problem..."
"Alright, alright, whatever you want, Master."
Sure enough, you still don't want to give up, or do you feel that you can't get down on stage, so you can only pretend to be stupid? Xia Ran didn't know what was going on, but she didn't care, she just waved politely and was about to slip away.
has talked enough to this stranger. If it wasn’t for the holiday now, most of the classmates had already left the school, and the teaching building was empty, then it would have been crowded now… If it's good, there will be some strange rumors.
"Xiao Ran, why haven't you left yet? What are you doing here?"
At this time, a familiar crisp voice came from behind.
Xia Ran was stunned for a moment, looked back, and found a girl with a single ponytail, wearing an old school uniform like the blue and white uniform on her body, holding a thick set of exercises, walking from the upstairs walked down.
Although wearing an old-fashioned style, it seems that the school uniform is inexplicably unified across the country, but it is still the same sentence, good-looking people look good in everything, even if they wear a sack, and this girl is no exception. The pair of clear glasses behind her His eyes showed a hint of doubt just right, and looked at his friend strangely.
Is Xiaoran waiting for herself?
Probably not, after all, she is not such a conscientious person.
"Of course I'm not waiting for you, I just saw this very interesting trick... a very interesting master, so I talked to him..." Xia Ran really didn't care about her friend's mood at all. , explained casually, saying that he was indeed not waiting for the other party.
The girl didn't care either. After all, she knew Xia Ran's temperament for a long time. She just looked at the air beside him with confusion and frowned, "What master?"
"That's it...Huh? Where's the person?"
The girl turned her head to look, but found that the young monk who was still beside her just now had long since disappeared. Suddenly, her mind couldn't react, and her whole body was stunned.
"Wait, he was talking to me just now! He's standing beside me, Qian Qian, you must have seen it just now, why did you disappear all of a sudden?"
She couldn't understand at all, she was still looking at the liar monk just now, and Qian Qian only saw herself after walking down the corner of the stairs, and said hello to herself, and she was also at that time Just noticed, then turned to look in the direction of the stairs...
There's no reason why Qian Qian can't see the person next to her!
And in such a short time, where could he hide?
The girl who was just a high school student stared blankly at the long empty corridor, feeling that she couldn't figure it out no matter what, and her mind was blank.
"What this, no one, I saw you alone when I came down..." The girl called Qian Qian frowned again, but then she seemed to understand something, and her pretty face immediately There was a trace of anger, "Xiao Ran, don't make trouble, you clearly know that what I fear most is ghost stories, why do you always scare me like this..."
"Ghost story?"
Xia Ran was stunned for a moment. After she realized it, she opened her mouth, but she couldn't explain it, not only because she didn't know how to explain it, but also because she felt a chill inexplicably.
She subconsciously turned her head to look outside the building, always feeling that the whole city under the dusk sky, or the whole world, suddenly had an unreal feeling...
Even the afterglow of the sunset, at this moment...
seems to be getting weird.
…
…
"There's no other way, let me adjust the energy balance of this planet, saving one life is better than building a seventh-level pagoda... There are seven billion people on this planet, and my merit must be my merit. A tower to the sky can be built..."
At the same time, the demon avatar in black had already left the city. His footsteps seemed to be walking in the courtyard, with a sense of slowness, but it was like the earth was supporting him, and he stepped out. It's thousands of miles away—
Even if someone passed by him, he was completely unaware, just like it was difficult for ordinary people to feel the air movement around him, and he left the second-tier coastal city in just a few steps. Came to the roof of the world, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
The azure blue sky stretches as far as the eye can see, the snow-covered mountains are like jade dragons coiling above the earth, and the white snow on the peak reflects the pure light under the slanting sunlight.
has an altitude of more than 4,000 meters above sea level, and also stands the highest mountain in the world. This is the last place of hope for human beings on this planet. In Xia Ran's vision of the future, about half a year later, this place will be selected to start a series of top-secret projects.
That's Project Ark.
is led by China and is responsible for production, while other governments provide the necessary raw materials and manpower measures to ensure the normal progress of the Ark Project. During this period, various countries will continue to stage various conflicts. Today you provoke me, tomorrow I will hit you back...
The purpose of is mainly to maintain the normal operation of human society, attract the attention of the people, and ensure that the vast majority of people are kept in the dark and think that the world is still the same world, so that production and social order can be maintained unaffected. .
In the dark, governments of various countries have already reached a consensus. While cooperating with the performance, they are tacitly promoting the Ark Project in secret, and by the way, use the last time to transfer various resources and so on.
Frankly speaking, this is not a wrong choice, because if you don't hide it, then before the end of the world really comes, human beings will first complete the process of self-destruction. Because when the most desperate disaster arrives, how much evil will erupt in people's hearts is something that no one can be sure of.
But as far as the final result is concerned, it is also difficult to describe. The vast majority of people who maintain stable social production and create various productive forces and values can be said to have supported the Ark Project from beginning to end, but until the disaster strikes , they still didn't know anything, but were just abandoned like this...
But that is something that will happen in the future, and even countries in the world have not really confirmed the information on the end of the world.
Because this process is a process of boiling frogs in warm water, the closer to the point of doomsday, the more frequent and violent various disasters will be, and eventually the blowout will be slender, completely exceeding the upper limit of the earth's own balance system, making the entire The natural ecosystem has completely collapsed.
But before that, some precursory phenomena were still relatively mild, and it was difficult to tell how they were different from normal disaster phenomena, which happened every year.
"The Ark plan is meaningless, and it is meaningless. It is still necessary for the little monk to take action to save all sentient beings..."
Under the blue sky, the monk in black walked peacefully on the quiet snowy plateau. This time, he slowed down his pace, and he stepped out only a thousand meters away. It was not like before. The step almost went beyond the earth.
On the mountain not far away, with his eyesight, he could easily see a solitary temple standing on it.
"That's it."
Xia Ran is not a picky person, and does not plan to continue looking for other temples, anyway, there seems to be a big bell in this temple.
It's hard to imagine how the ascetic monks built a simple temple on the top of the snowy mountain in such a bitter cold place and a world of ice and snow at a very high altitude, and also cast such a big bell by the way. ...but it is suitable for Xia Ran's use.
His original idea was to find a relatively famous temple in China and send a signal to people in this world... But after thinking about it seriously, he also rejected such an idea, after all, he He is a kind-hearted person who is very willing to be considerate of others, and does not want to cause trouble to others rashly because of his own reasons.
took a few steps to the top of the snow mountain. Xia Ran's figure was not seen by the people in the temple, although he did not deliberately hide his arrival, mainly because the ascetic monks were doing morning and evening in the temple at this time. Homework, there is the sound of chanting.
's voice is not loud enough and not neat, it seems that everyone is reading their own scriptures.
But it doesn't have an unspeakable charm. It's a hoarse voice that is really devoted to devout faith, and the messy chanting sound seems to bring a hint of Zen at this moment.
If you are a true Buddhist practitioner, at this time, you will probably stop your steps, listen quietly, and feel the beauty of this moment from your heart. After all, this is Buddhism and faith!
Unfortunately, the Buddha Avatar is not the kind of Buddha known to ordinary people, and he is not practicing Buddhism, but himself, so he didn't stop at all, but walked straight to the back of the simple temple, where he stood there There is an equally humble pavilion with a large clock hanging in it.
When—! !
After the last rays of light were about to sink into the horizon, the moment the night fell on the snowy area, a sudden and powerful bell rang!
The extremely solemn bell echoed in the quiet mountains, breaking the silence in an instant, as if the whole world that had just fallen into a deep sleep was immediately awakened.
The sound of chanting in the temple in front stopped abruptly. Many of them were wearing red clothes and were thin. I don’t know if they were really old and frail, or because they had been devastated in the world of wind and snow for many years. , opened his eyes subconsciously, and looked around in amazement.
They looked at each other, but found that there were not many people in the temple... So who is running out to ring the bell at this time?
When—! !
When - when -! !
The bell did not stop, it rang louder and louder, and the authorities were fascinated, it not only rippling in the mountains, but spread and passed out to the wider world, and finally at the same time resounds across the planet's surface.
seems to be the roar of the synchronous vibration of the atmosphere around the world, like a sacred symphony.
It’s just that human perception can’t cover the entire planet. Their audiovisual is too limited, so they can’t detect this phenomenon at the first time. Therefore, no matter it is in any country or city in the world , In any corner, everyone raised their heads in amazement and looked around blankly.
They didn't know where the bell sounded abruptly, and subconsciously thought it was somewhere nearby.
Even state agencies were not able to react immediately, because the incident was too sudden and too hasty, and most people were still at a loss. From experience, they thought that it was where they were, and someone nearby suddenly rang the bell, How could it be possible to realize the first time "something happened", "this is a world-class phenomenon" and so on.
It may be necessary to wait for different regions and even countries to confirm the information with each other before discovering that this phenomenon is unusual.
The bells rang one after another, resounding in the atmosphere. Some people felt annoyed and annoyed and could not stand such harassment, but some people felt the mood of tranquility and far-reaching. Unconsciously, their emotions seemed to be became calm.
But in any case, it is an unmistakable fact that all of humanity, all over the world, heard the bell at the same time.
And their state of mind is also affected by the bell, which is also true. At this moment, the bell seems to have turned into an invisible medium. Through a specific and common sound frequency, the soul-like heavy beating on the seven Above the minds of a billion people, an abnormal band has also been inserted into their brainwaves.
At this moment, a monster from outside the universe, the Demon Buddha clone personally went on the field and performed a minor operation.
The object of the operation is...human brain waves;
The number of objects is... seven billion.
starts at the same time, proceeds at the same time, and ends at the same time, complete success.
I don't know how long it took before the bell finally disappeared, but the reverberation still seemed to linger in everyone's ears. The devilish Bodhisattva on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau has put down his bell and pestle, raised his head and stared at the boundless sky.
In his field of vision, he can see invisible rays of light that quietly overflow like stars, and countless numbers rise up on the surface of the planet, first converging into streams, then converging into rivers, and finally turning into A mighty ocean.
