If the battle of the evil gods cannot end in a short time, it will become long, boring, and dangerous.

Boredom is the idea of ​​the evil god, and danger is the reality.

It will bring about the destruction of countless beings, causing the collapse of the earth's crust, chaos in the order of time and space, and other bad consequences.

Now, the moon on the edge of the "tiankeng" is emitting a peculiar light. As a boulder on a cliff or a blocking rock in front of a dark cave, the moon would have pulled power to affect the endless abyss behind it. In the spectacular scene described, several torrents that originally flowed into the big crater of the earth "fly up" high, twisted and thrown into the depths of the universe.

First to suffer was Mars, then Venus.

Chaotic and mysterious forces swept across this star field like a tsunami.

Humans on Earth raised their telescopes and watched the sky anxiously.

An incomprehensible distortion appeared in the star map.

Venus, which appeared before dawn, also began to glow blood red.

At the same time, the bad influence brought by the blood moon is expanding.

Satellite communication was completely lost, and dial-up telephone communication was barely restored for an hour, and then paralyzed again.

Turn on the wireless station, it is full of messy sounds, and sometimes there are inexplicable strange calls.

Finance and the economy have come to a forced standstill, and the stock market has stopped trading. For the first time, many people began to pay attention to the sky above their heads.

"...the sunspots are active, there is no doubt about it!"

This is a theory put forward by British economists in 1875, that is, economic depressions are cyclical, and so are sunspot activities. It is sunspot activities that cause agricultural harvests to decline, and the economy will then collapse.

Although most investment bankers don't understand what sunspots are, they are familiar with the term and use it whenever they use it, regardless of whether it is reasonable or not.

When everyone was panicking, they threw out this word with a sigh, and immediately won high attention and reports from the media.

TV can not be watched, newspapers are still very marketable.

The shocking blood moon hangs directly in the sky like that, anyone can see it and can't cover it even if they want to.

In the past two days, the circulation of newspapers has soared.

Astronomers say blood moons are often seen during total lunar eclipses, and economists are still talking about sunspots.

Inexplicably, the two parties began to spray each other on newspaper columns.

One is that the date does not match, there is no full moon at this time, let alone a lunar eclipse, and the blood moon briefly changes to green and blue...

Second, it's not the sunspot cycle, and the theory is bullshit in the first place.

On the streets and squares of the city, some people held up slogans about doomsday and judgment and preached loudly.

Some people prayed devoutly in churches in rural towns, and some people quietly entered the basement, shouting excitedly that the true God was about to come.

Crazy people, confused people, people who suddenly disappeared...

The world is in chaos.

This kind of chaos is not reflected in physical pain, nor does it have the momentum filled with gunpowder. It is like a silent devil, lurking beside human beings.

Let’s put it this way, most people would only find novelty or irritability about the sudden madness of the old man in the neighbor’s house and the crying of the child day and night, and would not regard them as a harbinger of disaster.

People are more concerned about when the TV, telephone, and radio at home can return to normal, and their eyes are fixed on the news in the newspaper.

If it is something that is not mentioned in the newspaper, of course it did not happen!

Whether it's a plane crash, a train derailment, or a ship lost... These accidents are not as bizarre as the experience of the Elizabeth ship, and the number of deaths and missings has not reached triple digits. No matter how you look at it, they are not as eye-catching as the blood moon, and the accidents have nothing to do with their own country. Naturally, it will not appear in the newspaper.

People can't buy newspapers outside of the local area, and hear more voices. Even the blood moon phenomenon must be confirmed through newspapers to confirm that it happened around the world, and it wasn't something that desecrated churches and gods nearby.

What?A famous astronomer suddenly suffers from a serious illness?

People turned to the papers and guessed that the old gentleman had been wronged by the bad mouth of the economist.

People from the police station found some bodies from the sewer today?They are all bums, God bless those poor people!

Have a headache or feel unwell?These are minor ailments, and doctor appointments cost too much money.

Had weird nightmares and hallucinations?Maybe it's too tired...it's not a big deal, just take a day off and you'll be fine.

In contrast to these behaviors of ignoring danger signs, people are increasingly anxious.

Everywhere on the road, drivers of cars can be seen sticking their heads out and scolding each other angrily.

The people in the cafe facing the street had already started fighting, and the postman by the roadside was severely bitten by a dog...

"Snapped."

Cindy Fennier closed the door heavily, and she put one hand on the woolen hat on her head—thanks to London's October weather, it's not too obtrusive to wear—and felt a lot quieter in her ears.

She visited her dozing grandmother in the bedroom before telling Mrs. Hamp, newly hired to do the housework, to come home early.

Mrs. Hamp nearly hurt her hand peeling potatoes, and looked very preoccupied, and it was said that her youngest son was ill and had a fever every night.

Mrs. Hamp thanked Cindy for her kindness and left in a hurry.

"There are always accidents recently, so don't go out at night." Cindy couldn't help reminding.

Cindy thought that Mrs. Hamp might not have heard the remark, for she was in a daze.

It sucks.

Cindy stood in the room, thinking desperately.

This house is a cage, and the city is an even bigger cage. The danger comes from all around, and it is unknown when it will erupt.

Even if they fled to the countryside this time, they would not be able to escape the disaster, and the countryside would be even more dangerous. There were no police there, and there were all kinds of heretics.

Cindy checked the doors and windows, and placed simple traps to ensure that if someone tried to sneak into the house, there would be a loud noise immediately, waking her or Mrs. Fennier.

Just a day before, there were two strange faces hovering in front of Cindy's house.

Cindy knew that they were not thieves, but people sent by the British government to "watch" them.

It is said that every "spiritually healed" survivor gets this treatment.

Cindy's current house is rented, and the surrounding residents don't know what their grandparents and grandchildren have experienced. These days, Cindy has been busy contacting relatives in Canada, trying to find a safer way to travel to America.The appearance of the blood moon disrupted all plans.

The two stalkers were gone.

Cindy saw them on another street today, and heard that there was a murder there. A university professor went mad in the middle of the night and strangled his wife who shared the bed with him. He also wrote many strange symbols on the walls and ceilings of the house.

Too bad you don't know when your neighbor, or some passer-by is going to go crazy.

The murder weapon is so easy to find, kitchen knives, sticks, tongs...

Cindy found a sleeping potion from her grandmother's drawer, added two drops to her glass, glanced at the clock, and fell asleep quickly.

***

This is a barren ice field, and the wind and snow are howling.

I can't feel the cold in the dream.

There are unsettling gazes from the distant woods, green pupils flickering like a pack of wolves.

Cindy quickly walked to the only tent on the ice field with a light on it.

Three people were already sitting by the fire in front of the tent.

Their faces are blurred.

Since the first day of the blood moon, even the dream has become unstable, and once it was broken in the middle, like an unstable communication.

So Cindy didn't know what the two people looked like except for the dream therapist. She could only judge their age and nationality from their voices.

"...The situation is so serious that I managed to 'contact' everyone I could find."

Cindy recognized the voice of Hans, the dream therapist. He was a very capable person, very careful and gentle, although his appearance and voice were completely contrary to this conclusion.

"South America, Europe, Southeast Asia...all the secret sects are in crisis, and they lost half of their staff in just three days. That's fine. There are also pagans who sensed the evil spirit's activities and mistakenly thought that the evil spirit was about to wake up. Omens of God, women and children are taken as sacrifices."

Cindy's arrival didn't interrupt their conversation, they nodded to Cindy and made an empty seat.

Then Cindy heard about the measures taken by the US, UK and other governments.

Nothing new, just concealing the news and trying to investigate the truth.

What is outrageous is that the United States proposed to use a rocket to carry a nuclear bomb to bomb the moon to end the blood moon vision.

"This plan is already in progress." Hans explained that this was the news from the British secret service, and the Americans felt that this was a very correct action.

The British didn't want to object, and there was no better way anyway, and this weapon was the most powerful weapon in the hands of mankind.

Only investigators who have been in contact with the mystery know that this is definitely a bad idea!

"How to stop it?"

the man named Juan asked eagerly.

Hans said in a low voice, "I'm afraid we can't."

Cindy was also silent.

Through this incident, she further understood that the people sitting here are as ordinary as she is.

This generally does not refer to knowledge and ability, but social status.

He didn't have a high enough status, he didn't hold an important position in the government, let alone the mouthpiece of the newspapers and media, and he couldn't even cause public condemnation by leaking news.

"Are we just going to... watch everything happen?" Juan asked excitedly.

"Yes, we can't even warn people."

"John..."

"We can't go to the moon, and we can't contact the 'important gentleman'. In fact, we must have a clear understanding. What is the evil god? The evil god doesn't care about the ants living on this planet, even if there are so many One or two evil gods are interested in human beings, and they do not represent the evil gods as a whole."

Cindy felt chills all over her body when she heard it. Sometimes she was very afraid of the words of this Mr. John, which always completely shattered her chances of luck, and sometimes she expected to hear the old man's speech.

"Yes, I have a bad guess."

John looked at Cindy, and he stretched out his hand to signal, "Hans, you met this young lady recently, so 'that gentleman' is still active in human cities, shuttling in some mysterious events, and as far as we know You know, he just ended his deep sleep two years ago. Now the dream is turbulent, the vision of the blood moon, all over the world there are signs of the revival of evil gods or signs of activity, that gentleman cannot be ignorant."

According to Hans' experience, at least Jason would appear in their dreams and tell them where to hide.

but.

"He's on the moon."

John's words brought a dead silence.

Juan was the first to jump up and asked in panic, "That's impossible, Jason...I mean they wouldn't do such a thing."

"Why not? If a battle broke out between the evil gods, the moon would already be the battlefield with the least damage to humans." Hans said in a low voice.

"The nuclear bomb..."

"To the evil gods, it is a relatively large stone, which can only irritate the evil gods and not harm them. Of course, we still hope, just like human beings don't care that ants have worked so hard to lift a stone that is bigger than their weight. There are countless times of stones, and the evil god better not care where this stone comes from."

John patted Hans on the shoulder lightly, "You need to wake up. This dream shows that there are evil spirits near your camp? Everyone must be careful. What really matters now is when the war on the moon will end. Which side wins. If it takes too long or the result is not ideal ... the end of the earth or human beings will come, and of course the good news is that at least we are with our family and friends."

Cindy lowered her head and murmured, "Can we just wait for the voice of fate to pronounce judgment?"
