When the new year is approaching.
On the world-class tower with a height of more than 600 meters, named "Sky Tree", near the highest position, sat a silver-haired boy in a black cherry suit.
This is by no means a place that ordinary tourists can reach. The extremely cold wind alone at such a height is beyond the reach of ordinary people. He who seems to be sitting here leisurely is obviously not extraordinary.
Looking down at the night view of the city below, the young man hummed a lighthearted song and shook his head.
After humming a song, he was quiet for a few seconds before speaking.
"Yan, give me another cup."
no respond.
"I know I've overdid, but it's just another drink."
Still no response.
"The New Year's Eve is coming soon. At such an important moment, how can we do without wine?" He looked to the side and clasped his hands together.
"Please~ Yan, give me another cup, just a small cup~" I begged with a begging expression.
There was a sigh in the air.
Then a blue jug and a small cup emerged from the darkness, and the mellow wine poured out slowly from the spout, filling the cup.
"Thank you! I love you the most!!"
The young man warmly thanked him, and after taking the glass, he immediately took a small sip, showing a happy expression.
"It's really pleasant to sit in this special seat and enjoy the scenery and taste the fine wine." A voice suddenly sounded.
The silver-haired boy followed the sound and saw a beautiful black-haired girl standing nearby at some point.
"Yo, Qilin."
"I told you not to call me that." The girl said coldly.
"That's Xiao Lin?"
"Do you want me to kick you down?"
"Uh... that's Missy?"
The girl didn't deny it.
"Miss, what can I do for you?"
"Kill you."
"Why!?"
"If you ever acted strangely, it would be like this."
"Hey... don't scare me." The silver-haired boy looked shocked.
"I'm just telling the truth." The dark-haired girl looked at him.
"At this important time, you didn't stay where you should be... If I find out that you are doing something you shouldn't be doing, I will kill you."
"It's terrible..." The boy trembled.
The girl withdrew her gaze and turned to look down at the city below.
The appointed hour is approaching.
None of the people under the bustling lights knew what the coming New Year meant.
It was the beginning of a new era, but in a sense it was the return of an old era.
A long time ago, people were afraid of the dark, relied on each other, and relied on collective strength to fight against unknown horrors.
Until now, people ignore the darkness, ignore each other, forget what their ancestors have faced directly, and the precious things they once had.
The connection between people has become weak, and people have filled their natural needs for fetters with vanity network communication, and because of this, they think they can face everything independently, and abandon many things that should be cherished.
They don't know that the darkness has always been there and never left.
They also don't know that some things that seem to be rock-solid are actually far more likely to collapse than imagined.
This includes the light of night and the endless operation of the Internet.
Once these two so-called cornerstones of modern life are gone, what will happen to people
"It's beautiful, isn't it?"
The silver-haired boy's voice sounded.
"Looking at it like this, it feels like the whole city is like a jewel box, exuding a moving brilliance."
The dark-haired girl looked at the boy.
Seeing him staring at the night view of the city, his eyes sparkled.
"Such a dazzling scene will be swallowed up by darkness later. Thinking about it this way, I can't help but feel that it is even more beautiful...it's really amazing." The young man took another sip of the fine wine and let out a voice of admiration.
"For all the beautiful things in the world, when they are most beautiful, they are about to be destroyed!"
"Especially the moment before being destroyed, the beauty at that time is the ultimate beauty that no art in the world can express! Only the human soul can experience it!!"
Hearing the loud words, the girl snorted coldly.
"It's vulgar."
"... What does Missy think?"
"There's no need to tell you."
"Don't be like this, let's talk about it~ We are partners! We are here to witness this moment together and talk about our thoughts, there is nothing wrong with it." The silver-haired boy said with a smile.
"I never regarded you as a partner, and I have nothing to talk to you about." The black-haired girl said coldly.
"So indifferent! But this kind of iceberg beauty fan is also pretty good, or is it the Tsundere attribute?"
Peng!
The silver-haired boy was kicked flying.
"Woo-wah-" screamed and fell from the sky.
Suddenly a pitch-black giant claw emerged and caught him accurately.
"Thank you... Yan..."
The boy got up in his claws, looked at the wine glass, weeping.
"The wine was spilled... can I have another glass?"
There was another helpless sigh in the air.
The time is almost up.
The dark-haired girl looked down at the city and waited quietly.
The moment we waited for.
The bustling lights of the whole city were suddenly extinguished, street lights, houses, facilities, buildings, factories... all lost their light!
It was as if a candle had been blown out.
Everything fell into darkness.
"Happy New Year." The girl said calmly.
This is not to anyone, but to a new era.
…
Not only was there a power outage, but the mobile phone signal was gone, and the Internet could not be connected.
Seiji held Reo in his arms when he was going to the hospital in a taxi, and looked out the window, seeing only darkness besides the lights of passing vehicles.
Traffic lights are maintained with backup power activated, so traffic conditions are still normal.
"Could it be that the whole city has become like this?" He murmured.
What was it that you felt before? It can actually shut down the power system and communication network at the same time!
The range of action seems to be large, but I don't know how big it is.
Has Mr. Juicy Peach been affected? Do you have the same fever as Lingyang
Can't make phone calls, can't contact the teacher, can't confirm her condition. Seiji was worried.
Shortly after, the car arrived at the hospital. The generator has been started to generate electricity here, and the lights are on.
After Qingji paid the driver, he got out of the car with Xiaoshi, and went straight to the car with Lingyang in his arms.
The female doctor on duty examined the little girl and said that the cause of the disease was in the soul and could not be cured, but it could be suppressed with drugs to reduce the fever.
The cause is in the soul... It really is because of the mysterious energy! Seiji frowned.
Fortunately, the fever can be brought down with medicine.
The female doctor prescribed medicine for Ling Yang, and arranged her to receive an infusion in a high-grade ward.
Seeing the little girl's face calm down, Seiji breathed a sigh of relief.
"Xiao Shi, you are here to look after Gu Lingyang, I'm going to find Teacher Juicy Peach." He said.
Although I don't know if the teacher will stay in the apartment during the Chinese New Year, but I have to go and see.
After walking out of the ward, Seiji checked his phone again, but there was still no signal.
The dark city, the cut off communication... It's like going back in time, back to the old days when there were no electric lights or telephones.
I vaguely heard the bell ringing, probably from a nearby temple.
It is said that the ringing of the New Year's bell is to clear away troubles, but judging by the state of the city, the troubles probably cannot be cleared away.
What a bad new year... who the hell is causing this situation!
