"Before he died, he made this gesture to me." Ke Xun raised his hand and made an OK gesture.
When Wei Dong saw it, he was startled at first, then shocked: "Ah! This is—the city games—"
"Yes, it was that time." Ke Xun nodded slightly, "In that city game, our school's sports field was used as the main venue, so the audience was basically our school's students. At that time, Dongzi Tianyang and the others led the audience Cheer me up, everyone compares this gesture. It doesn't mean 'OK', this gesture represents the number I was carrying at the time. The 'O' is 0, the middle finger is 1, the ring and little fingers are 2, so, I The race number at the time was, 012."
"—2012!" Everyone called out in unison.
"The dates on some food packaging bags we have seen begin with two characters. Combined with the number 012 conveyed by Tian Yang, it seems that the background of the events depicted in this painting is undoubtedly 2012." Shaoling Road.
"But this is too strange," Gu Qingqing said. "If the artist painted the real world in 2012, then if such a terrible thing happened somewhere, why was it never reported in the news?"
"Not everything will be reported." Zhu Haowen's words were as sharp as ever.
"No, the content of this painting is not an absolute real event," Mu Yiran said, "The chaotic vegetation in the forest is definitely not a mistake caused by the painter's negligence, I prefer it to the painter. It is intentional, so from this point of view, this painting is more like what Weidong said, it is a symbolist painting, everything that happens and shows in this painting has symbolic meaning or comes from the painter. Some kind of imagination and metaphor."
"Then this era of blurring is not so much a deliberate effort to find clues for us, but it is actually pointing out the key points for us." Shao Ling said, "It is indeed the case, now we know this Year - 2012, unlike any year in this century, this is a number with too much rumour and reverie."
"2012, the end of the world?" Luo Meng widened his bloodshot eyes, "I feel that the painting push has made things bigger and bigger. No matter what happened in the past, it was only a small scale, but now it has risen directly to the whole earth..."
"But the end of the world in 2012 is just a rumor," Wei Dong also said with red and tired eyes that he hadn't slept for two days and two nights. "Are we going to find clues in the rumors?"
"Maybe the focus is not on 2012, but on the end of the world." Qin Ci said in a low voice, "The reason to blur the era is to use it to point to a fact after we find the clue of the era, just like us now. , When 2012 is mentioned, the first reaction is to associate it with the end of the world, so 2012 may only be equivalent to an arrow, and the 'doomsday' it points to is the point. For example, what causes the end of the world ?"
… Ebola.
This answer slammed into everyone's heart as if it had smashed a barrier. Facing the pale and exhausted Qin Ci, no one said the answer.
"Don't forget the other clues we have already obtained," Zhu Haowen always played a rational and calm role in the team, and he was the first to break this short uncomfortable silence, "I think it is possible that the weather on the earth is warming in an all-round way. That's one of the reasons." He was always concerned about the hot climate in this painting.
"And air pollution?" Fang Fei continued, pointing out the window, which was always a gray sky, "Is that smog?"
"Yes, it's smog, and it's a very serious smog." Wei Dong nodded affirmatively, "Keer and I are too familiar with this kind of weather, and the smog pollution level in Z city ranks among the top three in the country. "
"Global warming is caused by the massive burning of fossil fuels by humans," Gu Qingqing endorsed generally, "such as the production and manufacturing process of the oil industry, such as the burning of coal for heating in winter, and the deforestation of forests, which are then used for incineration, etc. Etc., which will produce a lot of carbon dioxide, which will create a greenhouse effect. Global warming will cause glaciers to melt, sea levels will rise, it will disrupt the balance of nature’s ecosystems, and ultimately endanger all life on earth, including humans.”
"Air pollution, ecological damage, and..." There are also terrifying infectious diseases, Luo Meng added silently in his heart, "Then the end of the world, what does this have to do with the theme of this painting, "Restart"?"
"Could it be... the meaning of restarting after the destruction of the earth?" Shao Ling looked at Mu Yiran.
"The saying of the end of the world in 2012 comes from the Mayan prophecy. From 1992 to 2012, these 20 years are called the 'Earth Renewal Period'. After the renewal, the earth will enter a new era." Mu Yiran said, "So It does not seem unreasonable to call this situation a 'reboot'."
"The 2012 Earth Renewal in Maya's prophecy refers to the end of a cycle and the beginning of a new cycle, not the end of the world," Gu Qingqing added to Mu Yiran in a straightforward manner, "So, what we got This thread in 2012 should point to 'update', 'reincarnation' or 'reboot', not the end of the world."
"In this way, the same prophecy appeared very coincidentally in the classic Chinese book "Tui Bei Tu"," Shao Ling continued, "The fifty-second image in "Tui Bei Tu" said: 'The universe is rebuilt In Jiao Kang'. Some people explain it as: Jiao Kang, refers to the seven places of the eastern blue dragon, and refers to the year of the dragon, and 2012 happens to be the year of the dragon. Not to mention 'reconstruction of the universe', it means literally. So , 'Reconstruction of the Universe' and 'Earth Renewal', together with 'Restart', have clearly pointed to the same situation."
"Updating and rebuilding, opening reincarnation?" Wei Dong said.
"This is actually the end of the world," Ke Xun said. "No, strictly speaking, it is the end of mankind. The earth still exists, but mankind will perish. Then a new round of biological evolution begins, from apes to humans, from the Stone Age. To... well, what era is it, the information age? Or, the nuclear age?"
Mu Yiran's eyes flashed when he heard the words, and just as he was about to speak again, he suddenly heard a "dong" sound. Everyone hurriedly followed the sound, only to see that Wu You had fallen on the table, as if he had fainted.
Everyone's heart sank. Fang Fei, who was closest to her, squatted down and stretched out her hand to test her forehead for a moment. She looked up at everyone who was nervously waiting for her answer, and said, "It's okay, it's just a simple syncope."
Those who entered the painting have not slept for two days and two nights. During this period, they suffered from heat, thirst, hunger, and fright. Those with weaker physique and spirit will naturally be unable to hold it back at this time.
Shao Ling took out his mobile phone and glanced at the time, and said, "The night has passed, let's leave this house first."
For the two companions who died tragically, everyone could not bear to look at or mention it again, and left the house silently, the sky outside would light up, the air would not be as fresh as dawn, except for the thick blood that was inhaled into the nose. Outside the air, it is the dusty smell that makes the lungs and respiratory tract extremely uncomfortable.
Except for Ke Xun, who had the best physical strength, and Mu Yiran, who had the strongest will, everyone else was very tired and depressed. Luo Xun was even a little unsteady on the road, and he could fall asleep at any time while walking.
"We have to take a break," Shao Ling said. "Going for an autograph in this state is half the effort."
Ke Xun glanced at Qin Ci calmly, but when Qin Ci noticed it, he smiled tiredly at him: "Xiao Shao is right, let's rest first, if the brain is too tired, it will not be useful for pondering clues. Help, sharpen your knives without accidentally chopping wood, and rest first."
Ke Xun put Wu You, who was still fainting, on the ground.
Maybe it's because everyone's nerves are too tense during the process of constant movement and constant fright since entering this painting. Now, once they relax, the feeling of sleepiness and fatigue is overwhelming. , After a while, Wei Dong, Luo Meng, Fang Fei and Gu Qingqing all slept side by side, and even Zhu Haowen and Shao Ling were on the verge of being awake.
Ke Xun and Mu Yiran leaned side by side, talking in a low voice.
"Are you sleepy? Sleep with me for a while." Mu Yiran reached out and gently hooked Ke Xun's chin.
"I can't sleep," Ke Xun put his head on Mu Yiran's shoulder, "I'm worried about Lao Qin, this Ebola hemorrhagic fever scares me a lot, I'm afraid Lao Qin will be here... Yiran, although We've taken our lead a step further now, but still can't figure out where the signature will be, what form it will take, and in fact I have a bad hunch, or guesswork."
"Let's hear it." Mu Yiran said warmly, as if trying to soothe his anxiety.
"I thought, if this painting is about the end of mankind, then we people... will be the only surviving last group of people in this world?" Ke Xun continued to rest his head on Mu Yiran's shoulder. , looked up at him, only to see his perfectly curved chin.
"This idea is indeed very possible." Mu Yiran held the bent knee he sat cross-legged and gently stroked.
"If it is said that the world is destroyed by air pollution, ecological damage and plague infection, then I think that human beings will not be mass extinct at one time like dinosaurs, but have a chronological order, so until the end, death If we die, there will be only a few of us left in this world, and we are the last human beings in this world."
As Ke Xun said, he reached out and held Mu Yiran's hand covering his knee, and clenched it tightly, "Restart means a new beginning, just like the option in the anti-virus software on the computer - after the anti-virus is completed. Automatic restart, we humans are the 'poison' on the earth. We must kill all of them before ushering in a restart. Does that mean... We people must die before we can achieve 'restart', and will appear Signature? But this painting is not "Reverse Journey", there is no other timeline where we can be redeemed in this way, so what is the use of this signature?"
Mu Yiran turned his head, kissed him lightly on the bridge of his nose, and said warmly: "Your thinking is a little pessimistic, perhaps because it was influenced by what happened to Lao Qin. I also have some speculations that I didn't have time to say just now, Would you like to listen?"
Ke Xun stretched his arms around his waist and quickly cheered up: "Yes!"
The author has something to say:
Dr. Qin felt everyone's love for him. He was so moved that his head didn't hurt, and he didn't vomit blood anymore.
Seeing that Dr. Qin who cares and loves us so much, Bao Yue, who originally adhered to the principle of no spoilers, was also very moved, so she decided to break the principle and spoil a little here, and tell everyone: take everyone's attention Put it back in my stomach, Bao Yue is a very soft-hearted person, and I also feel sorry for the characters that everyone loves~~~ In fact, in the last chapter, Paul Yue had already hinted at it in a frustrating way, saying " Don't dare to move." Hahaha~
And, don't let some irrational and moral comments affect your mood when reading the article, let's read the article happily, discuss happily, and see the strong girlfriend power you have shown in order to protect Bao Yue and this article, Bao Yue I was very moved but also very distressed, for fear that everyone would be in a bad mood because of this, and even more afraid that everyone would be entangled in unreasonable ways, then Bao Yue would really feel distressed to death.
So we just turn our face to face the sun, the darkness will only be left behind and stepped on by us, why should we care about it~~
Hug you dear ones, okay~
