Chapter 2 The origin and the gathering, the origin and the fall are all predestined
Before, when I was in unlimited free space, I met Yuezi and Yuhui. Now when I looked at them in front of me, I was sure that I really encountered a ridiculous thing that I had seen.
"Yu Hui? Yue Zi?...you...did I dream just now? I didn't dream, right?" I narrowed my eyes and searched for my memories. The memories were too clear, and it didn't feel like I was dreaming.
"Brother... weren't we in that strange place just now... we seemed... we really encountered a supernatural phenomenon..." My sister Yuezi looked around at the others with uncertainty, frowning slightly, and seemed very nervous.
"Really." Yu Hui, who stood in the corner, had no fluctuations in her face, said these two words softly, except for a slight undulating smile on her face.
"Yu Hui... do you think that's true too?" I looked at Yu Hui with uncertainty.
Under the flat bangs, Yuhui blinked her clear eyes and looked at me with a certain expression and repeated what she said just now:
"real."
I know that Yuhui is a programmer. She has a bit of introverted personality and is not very strong in language expression, so she has always spoken simple and clear, but she is very smart and knows a lot. She has helped me with all kinds of things in work and life before, so I trust and be grateful to her. Since Yuhui says it is true, I can only believe that we are afraid that we will be really involved in a supernatural phenomenon.
But... how is this possible? This is not a movie or novel, how could such an absurd thing happen? However, although I don’t believe it in my heart, the disgusting scene when the girl named Miyako killed that man and the spectacular destruction of the universe are still vivid in my mind. I suddenly felt disgusted, suddenly felt like vomiting, and my whole body was a little unstable.
Is there really a god in this world? Or is it a prank made by someone? I couldn't understand at all. I opened the book in my hand and looked at it hurriedly. The first page of the book was a monologue written in the first person with the man named Gao Tianfeng. Each word was very clear, and it also recorded in detail what the man named Gao Tianfeng saw and heard in the unlimited free space. Looking at the words in the book, I felt a little exhausted.
Retracting my gaze from the pages of the book, I looked at the jamesholmes standing beside me. Seeing me, my blond hair, blue eyes, beautiful face, barely showed a mouthful of white teeth on my heavy face.
"Mr. Yang, I don't know if you still remember me... I am jamesholmes, I know Miss Amano and I have met her before at the Paris Academy of Fine Arts..."
"I know, how could I not know? She sometimes mentioned yours during the confinement period." I said with a reluctant smile.
"Mr. Yang, this... seems to be your home? To be honest, I was traveling in Coventry before, but later I received a text message... I came here for some reason... It seems that we really encountered something incredible." James spoke very fluently in Chinese. I heard that he is an interpol who walks in many countries and speaks the languages of several countries.
James' expression became a little surprised and solemn again, and I looked at Xu Bin and the fat man next to me.
"Then let's forget it first... After confinement, you will tell this child that we will not have anything to do. We will take good care of him. We will be there for everything we encounter. Then you ask where he lives and whether there is any contact information from his family. We will find a way to send him back."
Confinement nodded at me, and then talked to the little British boy named Freshew for a while. This time, Confinement asked the little boy's address. The little boy lives in Surrey, London. He said that he suddenly encountered a "supernatural event" while playing with his father's phone. It was like in the movie. He is very excited now and doesn't want to go home.
The little boy Fresci is much more courageous than I thought. To be honest, this is the first time I have seen a foreign boy. His personality and thoughts are completely different from those of Chinese children. In the past, I only met foreign boys in mass media at most, but now it is as rare as seeing rare animals.
"Then it's better, Mr. Yang, when I go back to Europe, I'll take Freshu back with me." James suggested.
Of course it is best to be like this, so I didn't say anything more. Because I just experienced incredible things, which can even be considered a supernatural phenomenon, I am very excited and nervous now. It's like you're walking on the road and bumping into a murder. Even if you sneak home, you'll still be nervous for a while, and your mind keeps playing back the previous scenes.
When people are excited and afraid, they will communicate more. Through my understanding, I roughly understand the situation of confinement and others. When I received a text message from Miyezi, confinement was drawing sketches at the Paris Academy of Fine Arts, while Yuhui was writing programs, Zhang Muyi was going out to edit, James was traveling, Xu Bin was reviewing at home, and the little boy Fresey was playing with his mobile phone at home. It can be said that each of us was gathered from different places.
"If it weren't for the fact that you all remember exactly like me, I would have thought I had a dream or something." James said.
"To be honest, I still feel like I'm dreaming..." I rubbed my temples and said, and then I read the book that the woman named Miyako gave me to James and the others. Yuezi carefully looked through the contents and even tried to tear the pages. But I found that this book was very ordinary, no different from ordinary pages. After the pages were torn, they were broken, and they would not recover by themselves like in magic movies. The smearing of the words on it would not automatically be eliminated.
"It looks like an ordinary book," Yuezi said with a wide open cherry lips. "Sister Yuhui, what do you think?"
"...It's very ordinary." Yu Hui didn't have much expression on her face, but she could tell that she said after thinking for a while.
"Anyway, it's useless to just think about it yourself. Brother, I just don't know... what the woman named Miyako means to conquer the world in one month... and she also said that if she can't conquer the world in one month, we... will die?"
After all, the confinement period mentioned this sensitive topic. After hearing the confinement period, my heart suddenly sank. I don’t understand.
I really don’t understand my current situation at all. Who is that woman named Miyako? Is she a monster? Or a god? Or just a magician or a liar?
Why did I encounter such a ridiculous thing?
Moreover, what does conquer the world mean? Could it be that I was going to fight? I felt strange no matter how I thought about it, I couldn't understand it at all...
What I care about the most and feared is what the woman named Miyako said if we can't conquer the world for a month, the whole world will perish... Is she scaring us? But the scene I saw in that place called Unlimited Free Space before was so spectacular and shocking...
"Maybe we really think too much," James said suddenly. I looked at him and saw the cautious color on the face of the young foreign police detective. "I have handled many cases, so I have heard of some strange things. I have heard of something called 'collective hypnosis', where a group of people collectively had hallucinations due to some special circumstances and thought they had incredible experiences. Although such things are rare, they are not without them."
"Oh, detective james, do you mean we are... collectively hypnotized? That's the kind on TV?" I don't really understand collective hypnosis. When I was a student, I liked to read some books on the mystery of the world. I seemed to have seen similar articles saying that collective hypnosis is an hallucination that people have in certain scenes, such as people who die on an iceberg will see illusions in a bonfire.
"It's hard to say... Haha, it's really hard to say. But now it seems that we have nothing to do for the time being. It seems that there is no other danger except for us who came to your house inexplicably." Detective Jame had no choice but to spread his hands in the end.
We chatted a few more casually, and the others walked around my villa for a while. I advised them to stay and have dinner at my house together. After all, after experiencing such a thing, everyone would be nervous and excited to find out the truth, especially confinement and james. Now they suddenly came to my house from abroad. If they wanted to go back, passport and visa were very difficult to get, and they had to find another way. They had no place to go for the time being, so they could only stay at my house first.
During the discussion, the little boy asked me to borrow a cell phone from me and wanted to call my parents. It seemed that this little guy was really anxious. I saw him hurried into the bathroom with my cell phone. After a while, he walked back disappointed and said that my cell phone could not make an international call. Then he had to borrow confinement and james respectively.
It was getting dark soon. I looked at the time and it was almost six o'clock. Looking at the gloomy sky outside, it seemed like it was going to rain, and the candles on the coffee table at home, I suddenly realized that I had forgotten something very important.
Today is October 1st, which happens to be Xueqi's birthday.
At this time, I just thought of this. Because I went to tutor Ma’s house to make up for classes, Xueqi came back very late, but after calculating the time, it was time for her to go home.
Just as I realized this, the sound of the door gently closing sounded outside the villa. I turned my head and saw a slender shadow of Tingting walking into the villa without any speed or slowness.
"Dad, I'm back. Today is National Day, there is a traffic jam on the road..."
A clear and pleasant sound, a little slender and converging sound. When I heard this sound, I knew it was Xueqi who was going home.
Long black hair, snow-white and delicate skin than ordinary girls, is like a little princess who never leaves home, and has a pair of black and bright big eyes that look very innocent and pure at any time and a thin cherry pink lips. This is the girl I picked up since I was a child, Xueqi. Because Xueqi rarely goes out since she was a child, her skin is much whiter than that of ordinary girls.
Today, Xueqi was wearing a solid color pullover hoodie with straight student hoodies, and was carrying a tote bag with a laptop in her hand. I remember that I bought it when I accompanied her to the mall in mid-last month. The hoodie I chose for Xueqi, while the student hoodies were chosen by Xueqi himself. At that time, Xueqi hesitated between gray and blue for a long time.
Xueqi habitually took off a white running shoes at the shoe cabinet at the door of the villa's lobby. At this time, she found that many people came to her home, and she immediately closed her mouth nervously. Perhaps because I had been hiding from the people around me since I was a child, I tried not to let her contact with outsiders. Xueqi has been afraid of having sex since she was a child. No matter when a stranger came to her home, she would be so nervous that she would not dare to speak. Most of the time she would hide in the room on the second floor. This situation has become her habit over the years.
However, among the people present, Yuhui and Xu Bin still know each other. Yuhui is my friend. Sometimes she comes to my house to send New Year’s gifts or help me repair computers, so Xueqi is still familiar with her. Yuezi is my sister, and of course she is not an outsider. Xu Bin is Xueqi’s elementary school classmate. Although she hasn’t met much for several years, she is still adding QQ and so on, which is not unfamiliar. However, the little boy Frexiu, Zhang Muyi and James are a little unfamiliar with Xueqi.
"Hey, Sister Yuhui and Sister Yuezi are all here?! Xu Bin, why are you here too... Dad, why are there so many people coming to the house today?" Xueqi recognized Yuezi, Yuhui and Xu Bin, her big eyes widened, and her unfamiliar expression on her face faded, and she looked happy.
"Oh, this, they all came to our house for guests. Sister Yuhui heard that you have your birthday today and her confinement period. She has come back from vacation today. There is also this person, Uncle Zhang, and Mr. Jamesholmes from Europe, all came to my house for guests. Then..." I introduced a few people from home awkwardly. When I introduced the little boy Frexiu, I didn't know what to say.
"He is my relative, named Frexiu. Hello Miss Chen. You are so beautiful, I am simply surprised." James helped me relieve me in time and greeted Xueqi with a smile. Xueqi's face suddenly turned pink and looked a little shy.
"Hello, Mr. James." Xueqi said hello to James politely, then changed her shoes and walked into the hall.
Yuezi took the initiative to look at Xueqi, compared her height, and smiled softly:
"Qiqi, come here quickly and let me see it. Hey, I didn't see it on the Weibo photo. I looked at it carefully and it changed so much. I have just been to France for a few years. You have grown taller again and have surpassed me immediately. And I have become so beautiful. He is really a big beauty, haha. If you go to France, you might become the couchou (little cabbage) in the minds of countless men."
"What does chouchou mean?" Xueqi asked curiously.
"It's just a little cabbage. The French call you my little cabbage to call the girl they like. Haha." Yuezi said with a smile.
"Oh, that's it...hehe... Sister Confinement, you have become beautiful too." Xueqi mischievously spitted out her pink tongue. Then she looked at Xu Bin who was standing beside her with some concern. When Xueqi saw it, Xu Bin was suddenly at a loss. He rubbed his trousers and said hesitantly:
"That... Chen Xueqi, hello... I haven't seen each other for several years, haha..." Xu Bin didn't know what to say, but just said hello awkwardly. "Then, that, I... I'm just passing by... I'm here to borrow a toilet. That, I'll go back first, I won't bother you anymore... goodbye."
As he said that, Xu Bin turned around and was about to leave. When he was a child, Xu Bin came to my house several times because of doing homework, discussing calligraphy and painting. But now, both of them have grown up and haven't seen each other for many years. In addition, Xue Qi has become so beautiful, Xu Bin will of course be a little at a loss.
Looking at the moment when Xu Bin turned around and was about to leave, I frowned and said:
"It's okay, you can stay here for dinner, I'll send you back later."
Hearing my words, Xu Bin stopped and turned around hesitantly.
"It's better... forget it, Uncle Yang. I'll go back..."
"It's okay, today is Qiqi's 18th birthday. You are Qiqi's elementary school classmate, so you can come to congratulate her."
When he heard my words, Xu Bin was a little surprised, with a complicated expression of embarrassment and struggle on his face. He glanced at Xueqi, and then hurriedly avoided it after facing Xueqi's eyes. Finally, he said softly:
"That's it...but, I didn't prepare any gifts..."
"It's okay. Let's have a meal together. You can also talk about elementary school." I pretended to be polite and said. Then I said to the others in the hall, especially Zhang Muyi, and james who helped me to free up the siege:
"Master Zhang, Mr. James, you all have dinner together. Taking advantage of the crowds today, it's very lively. We don't see so many people in our family."
Hearing my invitation, James smiled and showed his white teeth, saying:
"Then we are not polite, Mr. Yang."
"Then I... am not polite, Boss Yang, hehe."
Zhang Muyi also looked at Xueqi, then looked at me, then narrowed his eyes, swept Shuiqi up and down, and finally laughed dryly, without rejecting my invitation.
Originally, I planned to spend her 18th birthday with Xueqi at home today, but since there are so many people coming to my family today, the food at home is not enough, so I booked a seat in the hotel room where I usually invite foreign customers to dinner, and invited this group of people to take two cars to the hotel for dinner together.
Xueqi was a little overjoyed to have so many people congratulating her birthday. She seemed very happy along the way and even hummed a tune in the passenger seat. While driving, Xueqi saw the "Ordinary World" I carried with me and asked me strangely:
"Dad, do you read Lu Yao's novels too?"
I was stunned for a moment, and then said:
"Yes, isn't this book published in a TV series? A colleague recommended me. I thought it was pretty good, so I bought a hardcover version."
"That's how my classmates also like to watch it." Xueqi said.
Chapter completed!
