Chapter 2 Strange Beads
December 21, 2012
This day is the legendary end of the world, but this day is very peaceful. No earth destruction has occurred, the two poles are reversed, tsunamis and floods, fires from the sky and other major disasters, and not even a small earthquake.
Of course, there was no natural disaster in any part of the world this day, Yin Zhiping didn't know whether there was any natural disaster. Anyway, there was no problem with the city where he lived. When he woke up in the morning, the sun rose as usual, and it was not as rumored that the world would fall into darkness forever.
Most people don’t take this end of the world seriously. They get up and go to work. Anyway, they do whatever they should do, which is no different from the past. Yin Zhiping never takes this end of the world seriously, but in case of precautions, he gave himself a day off today, otherwise he would still be busy with work in the real end of the world, which would be a shame.
Originally, he quit his job and didn't go to work, so he opened a design room with others just to make a free and relaxed job and work freely. How could he keep himself busy and tired on such a "special" day?
I woke up by urine in the morning and got up in a daze and went to the bathroom. Yin Zhiping looked at the table below and touched it about eight o'clock. He looked at the window. Although it was covered with curtains, it could be seen through the light from the gap that it was already bright outside.
"Tsk, I know that this world is a fool!" He muttered sleepyly. After Yin Zhiping went to the bathroom, he went back to bed and went back to sleep.
I slept until midday and woke up at noon.
When I woke up, I turned on the computer first, then washed up a little. Then I took my laptop to the kitchen, made my own brunch, and browsed the news online. They all said that rumors of the end of the world were broken, and there were some related interesting stories. After browsing, I found that many of them were repeated reports and I was not very interested. I turned off the chat software on the web page, and then had brunch while chatting with several friends in the group.
As we were chatting, the phone rang and I picked it up and saw that it was my mother calling. As usual, I asked him about his physical condition, whether he had eaten or not, and then he said that he was serious and asked him to come to his house in the evening and have a meal together. This is a family dinner, at least once a week, and there are no special accidents, and all the family members must be here. This is his father's mandatory rule.
Yin Zhiping naturally agreed immediately. At night, he was dressed neatly and cleaned up, so he drove to his parents' home.
Today's dinner is not as usual at least once a weekend, but it is added. It is also related to today's "apocalypse". Although the family does not believe this statement from top to bottom, it has been widely circulated before, and it has a nose and eyes. There are many so-called scientific theories. Anyway, it seems that it is the same.
My parents are old and what I want is just a harmonious family and a safe family. Although the end of the world is a rumor, it was rumored before. Now it’s okay, I just think it’s a disaster. The dinner tonight is to celebrate the peace of family.
After dinner, the family sat around and talked as usual, talking about their recent situation, life, work, study, etc. After talking about it, they talked about Yin Zhiping's lifelong affairs, which is the top priority at the family. The family took turns to criticize and educate, from parents to elder brother and sister-in-law, even the little niece had to educate him, which made Yin Zhiping feel ashamed.
At this moment, the phone suddenly rang, and Yin Zhiping screamed in his heart that it was really helpful. He quickly took out the phone and answered it without looking. The call was a friend who opened a design room with him. It turned out that several of his partners were planning to celebrate the lack of a doomsday today. However, their celebration program was not about having a meal, but about drinking at the bar. It was best to hook up with a girl when she came out of the bar and go home.
Yin Zhiping was criticized and educated by his family so that he could not raise his head. Naturally, this kind of opportunity to save lives cannot be missed. After hanging up the phone, he spoke to his parents, brothers and sister-in-law and ran away from his parents' home as if he was running away.
But before he drove out of the community where his parents lived, he heard a "bang" sound, followed by a "slam" sound, and the sunroof of his car was smashed by something, splashing the broken glass on his end.
Yin Zhiping quickly stopped the brakes and looked out the car window first, and found that he was almost at the entrance of the community. There were no residential buildings nearby, and there were no UFOs in the sky. Something that flew from there was hit.
He turned on the lights in the car, first lowered his head and fiddled with the broken glass on his head, and then looked for the culprit in the car. Soon, he found a bead the size of a pigeon egg in the broken glass under his driver's seat.
This bead looks like a glass bead at first glance, but it is not very conspicuous in the broken glass on the ground. Yin Zhiping missed it at first glance. But because this bead is larger than other broken glasses and is round and spherical, Yin Zhiping noticed it again in the second glance. Although the window glass will turn into fine spherical particles after it is broken to prevent people from being cut, it will never break into a very regular complete spherical shape. Moreover, the ball is too large, which is definitely more than the thickness of the sunroof glass on the roof of his car.
Yin Zhiping picked up the bead and put it in front of him to look closely. He found that the bead was pure and flawless, like a very clear crystal. As for whether it was glass or crystal, Yin Zhiping couldn't tell the difference between the two materials. And it was warm and very similar to the texture of a pearl.
However, it's just like. Yin Zhiping knew that this bead could never be made of crystal or pearl, because the hardness of these two materials was not enough, so it was impossible to smash his window glass. Although the roof sunroof glass was not as thick and high-strength as the windshield in front, it was also made of tempered material. If the bead was really crystal or pearl, then when the two collided, it would definitely be the bead that broke first, not his sunroof glass.
However, it is a bit possible for glass material. If it is high-strength tempered glass, the hardness is enough. However, if you want to smash the sunroof glass, the weight of this small bead is a bit light, unless it hits at the speed of the bullet. However, even if it is tempered glass, although the bead has a small force area and a stable structure, it should at least hit a crack if it does not break at this speed. However, this bead is round and flawless, and there is no trace of damage.
Yin Zhiping was really surprised by the material of this bead, and where did it come from and what made it form an extremely fast speed. He happened to shoot through his car window glass by chance.
After looking closer, Yin Zhiping suddenly found a little light lit up in the center of the bead, first white, then black, and then red……
In an instant, the light in the center changed many colors, colorful and unstable. At that moment, the point turned into a line again, still changing in different colors, and at the same time it was undulating like waves, like the spectrum changes when playing music on the computer, with a certain rhythm, but there was no sound.
In another moment, this line turned into several lines, intersecting at the center point, and seemed to radiate from the center point to all directions. In the blink of an eye, the fixed wave lines changed into geometric figures, square, round, long, flat, from one to countless. Finally, it looked like a kaleidoscope, changing into complex patterns, colorful and endless, and the car was also colorful and colorful, with a dreamy sense of magnificence.
It was quite long, but from the inside of the bead to the kaleidoscope pattern, it was actually just a short moment. From that point of light, Yin Zhiping was deeply attracted by it. His eyes were staring at the bead without blinking, as if he was possessed. Not only did his eyes seem to be stuck, but his whole spirit seemed to be sucked in by the changing patterns and colors of the bead.
Suddenly, the pattern of the beads changed again, and the pattern of the kaleidoscope disappeared, but images appeared. The image showed the appearance of the earth in space, and the earth was full of fires and explosions, as if the end of the world really happened and the earth was destruction.
The image changes again, showing that people on the earth fleeing in panic in disasters, but it is difficult to escape the pace of doomsday. Volcanoes erupt, fires fall from the sky, earth cracks, rock oars roll, and constant explosions quickly submerge cities in the fires, making it difficult for humans to escape, and they die with the city. The earth is quickly destroyed in the fires and explosions.
The image changed again, and it was another earth. This time the disaster was flooding, flooding everywhere, and all cities were flooded. After the flood was generated, it returned to the origin, and an earth reappeared, but this time the earth stopped and the two poles were reversed; after it was reset, nuclear war broke out on the earth...
Time and again, the earth is constantly destroyed by different disasters in this bead.
Yin Zhiping was horrified to find that all these disasters that destroyed the earth were all imagined. Although he did not believe in the end of the world, it did not mean that he could not even imagine it. Before this, he had imagined how the earth should be destroyed if the end of the world really came. He had imagined all the circulating and all kinds of destruction methods he could think of, but just imagined it, and even imagined the specific pictures and situations.
But now, this bead expresses all his hypotheses in the form of images, and automatically adds details to make these pictures look like they are actually happening.
Looking at the beads that had taken their imaginations into detailed images, Yin Zhiping suddenly felt frightened and shook his hand and threw the beads into the empty space on the dashboard. As soon as the beads were separated, the images immediately disappeared and turned back into ordinary beads like glass beads.
Yin Zhiping took a breath, but knew that the bead was not ordinary. He looked out and confirmed that nothing happened to the earth where he was. Yin Zhiping breathed a sigh of relief. After seeing so many scenes of the destruction of the earth just now, he was really afraid that it was a bit real.
After looking at the smashed skylight glass and the broken glass slag on the floor, feeling the cold wind coming in after the skylight was opened, Yin Zhiping shivered and confirmed that what had just happened was real. Looking at the bead on the dashboard, Yin Zhiping wanted to reach out and pick it up again, but he took it back halfway.
"It's better to go back first and study it slowly!"
