Chapter 2 (2/2)

Chu Yunsheng answered the phone straight away.

“Brother Chu, I should have believed you. We need your help…” He sounded very anxious.

“Are you talking about the disappearance of the Sun? The news article explained…” Chu Yunsheng replied, unhurried. He was tired of his friends making fun of him.

“Please! This isn’t the time to mess around. The Sun disappeared again! It’s been almost half an hour now. Don’t you know that?!… The whole world’s gone crazy now! Take a look outside, everyone is going crazy!” he said with a raised voice.

“Disappeared again?” Chu Yunsheng didn’t know anything about it. After he failed to sense Qi, he immediately went to sleep. But the disappearance didn’t surprise him anymore as he already knew that this would happen.

According to his antique book, because of the return of Tian Gui, all the laws will become one. It will create a burst of cosmic energy that will temporarily block all particles including photons from reaching Earth. That’s the reason why the whole world was in the dark. Since the laws and algorithms in the book were immensely complex and the fact that Chu Yunsheng didn’t understand most of the symbols written in the book, he didn’t know how long this blackout would last.

“Brother Chu, what do we do now? Is it really the end of the world?” Xiao Hai said with a trembling voice.

“I have already told you all of this before. Why do you believe me now? Didn’t you guys have a lot of fun pulling my leg?” After being called ‘crazy’ and ‘insane’ for the last three months, he could finally prove that he was right. Chu Yunsheng felt much better now.

“Brother Chu, please stop mocking us. Do you know what is really happening right now? Are we all gonna die?”

“No! I don’t know much. I don’t know how long it’s going to last. All I know is that on the 28th, the world will plunge into darkness. You need to prepare as much food, water, and…” Chu Yunsheng told him what he knew.

“What? The whole world? What about the Sun?! If it disappears, what would Earth orbit around now?! If Earth stops revolving, how are we gonna survive?!?”

“You don’t need to worry too much. The Sun isn’t really gone. Astronomers have already explained that if we lose our Sun we would all die. The Sun is still in our solar system. We just cannot see it. Maybe it will reappear later on and everything will return to normal…” Chu Yunsheng tried to soothe Xiao Hai. This was all he could do now. If he tried to explain his book to him, G.o.d only knew how long it would take. He didn’t even know if Xiao Hai would believe him.

“We are relying on you now. If you learn anything new, please give me an update.”

“Three days ago you guys thought I was crazy. Now you guys are relying on me, you f***ers.” Chu Yunsheng laughed.

“h.e.l.lo? h.e.l.lo……? f.u.c.k! … Lost signal again!” On the other end of the phone call, Xiao Hai furiously put down the phone and quickly left the office. Global communication was in chaos at the moment and only a few people still remained inside their office building. Almost everyone felt adrift in the face of the unknown.
