Chapter 1 (2/2)

“After the professors’ explanation, we can rest assured that this is indeed a special astronomical event, a phenomenon that we have never encountered before This would also ht just be baseless horror stories This event shows us that we should look at such things from a scientific point of view Do not blindly trust rumors as they will only cause unnecessary panic…”

Chu Yunsheng turned off the TV He felt that there was no need to continue watching the news any these so-called experts online and spreading ru to deceive the public That hy, ever since 2008, only a few people still believed in these so-called experts as they specialize in talking only nonsense That hy Chu Yunsheng also didn’t want to listen to their gibberish

Although the governative opinions on the Internet, their efforts were for nothing While soovernhtly, lie crowd that had rushed in to purchase long-term supplies of food and other necessities If the public didn’t receive a real answer, this situation would soon turn into a disaster

Chu Yunsheng strongly believed in his own judgest tian with a book he inherited froenerations Although the book was completely incomprehensible, worse than the cryptic words of an oracle, he had always felt that there was so peculiar about it He believed that the reason for the recent events could be found within this book That this book was capable of solvingpeople

Even though the book was said to be a fa used to stabilize his wobbly bed The book was so old and worn out that it had no value to hi’s father often said that regardless of how he used it, he should hold onto it until he dies This book was inherited froeneration after all

However, back when Chu Yunsheng was ad him He secretly took their family’s old book to several pawn shops and antique fairs to appraise it, hoping to sell it to help pay for his expenses The appraisal showed that the book didn’t have any real value They said that it wasn’t old enough to be an antique and that it was, at most, only around 3 to 5 years old at the ti’s father passed it down to Chu Yunsheng later on, and he only ever used the book to prop up his bed It wasn’t until Chu Yunsheng had decided to buy a house that he tried to sell the book again at the antique fairs, but nobody was interested in buying it Frustrated, Chu Yunsheng gave up on the idea of selling the book

For years the book was kept under the corner of his bed He nearly forgot about its existence But on this night, everything changed

Earlier that night, he had just broken up with his long-terirlfriend He tried to drink away his sorrows It was then that the book, which he nearly forgot he even had, begun to eered for around 20 seconds, long enough for Chu Yusheng to take notice Even though he was drunk at the time, he still firmly believed that what he saasn’t an illusion He reached out to his friends and told them what he saw but all they did was mock him

In order to prove to hiination, alongside his drive to earn money, he took the book to other pawn shops The result was still disappointing nobody believed it to be precious He even subjected it to a radiocarbon dating test The test result showed that the book was no more than ten years old That hy they said it couldn’t possibly be an antique book, but rather just a replica

Chu Yunsheng was upset by the test results But he soon realized that this didn’t make sense He knew about this book back when he was still a child While he didn’t kno long his father had this book, the book should have been at least 20 years old He had seen the book back then with his own eyes If the test results showed that this book was no more than ten years old, then it indicated that the book wasn’t as si spent a period of ti to discover the real age of the book, but nothing ca to understand the contents of the book He went through all the books that he could find on the traditional Chinese language, oracle bone scripts, ancient texts, and any literature that ht have the slimmest connection to the contents of his book Eventually, after a long period of research, he was able to understand about 300 relatively simple sy athe entire book Even with the beyond the first ten pages of the book But with just thesediscovered that the author of this book repeatedly said that “Tian Gui will return”, “All the laill become one” and “The universe will reveal its true face and the world will be doo was depressed after his break up that night At the time, a new A had been released He felt that he had nothing but time to kill And because of boredom and his curiosity about the Mayan prophecy, he used the laws and algorithms he had learned from his book to calculate a series of dates based on theto the same results repeatedly The calculation showed that the date when “All the laill become one” was December 28th, 2012 This meant that if the contents of the book were true, then on December 28th, 2012, the world would otten the number of times he calculated this He didn’t trust the results at first It was because he simply wasn’t sure if he really understood the sy more symbols, his calculations still pointed at the 28th Chu Yunsheng started to feel anxious He couldn’t understand why but he felt that the book was affecting his e force that compelled him to believe that the events written in the book would coled for some time but he finally decided to believe the results He tried to convince the people online about the information he had discovered, but of course, no one believed him The internet was already known for its wild theories On top of that, the government often censored wild rumors that were posted online, his theories included As a result, his posts were soon removed

It was not until three an to eo to sleep Chu Yunsheng was drunk back then; but this tier had any doubt about what he had seen He had started preparing for this day His behavior in the previous three one insane and ally sold his house, which he had bought with ahe needed He sold everything which was valuable and did not have a use in the future He used those funds to rent two adjacent apart in the interior of Shen Cheng City The roo since those would be vulnerable to forced entry The roohest floor either because his book warned him that the return of Tian Gui would cause the Earth to collide with other dimensions and would cast down vicious beasts so powerful that no one on earth would be able to kill theest steel he could find to seal the doors and s He also stored large quantities of food, clean water, and other supplies such as salt, sugar, paper, batteries along with toothpaste, detergent, and lighters He bought everything he could think of; he calculated that if he ate 2 pounds of rice a day, the rice he had stored up could help hiht a pistol and 100 rounds of ammunition on the black ht need His savings went down from a few hundred thousand Chinese Yuan to just under 2000 It wasn’t that he didn’t want to spend it all, it was just that there was no space for hi more Even the es

Chu Yunsheng’s landlords lived outside the city They hardly ever co knocked down the wall between the two rooms he rented After that, he blocked the front door of one of the roo everything, he quietly began to wait for the apocalypse

It wasn’t that Chu Yunsheng didn’t want to help his friends, it was just that al his relatives, and no one illing to believe hi a large number of phone calls The disappearance of the Sun caused way h a lot of people still thought that it was ridiculous to believe in the end of the world, the panic just kept spreading That hy the people who knew that Chu Yunsheng was preparing for this, all called to ask for his advice

Chu Yunsheng did not really know a lot of details He barely understood the first few pages of the book All he could do right noas to tell people to storethe approaching disaster

The evening neas repeatedly trying to persuade the people that there was a scientific explanation for this phenomenon and that this wasn’t the end of the world But ould believe theht now? Ru worse Almost all neebsites had an apocalypse section on their front page
