Darkness is Coming

   None of the participating members sitting in the classified conference room of the 19th Bureau ever imagined that they would see the demise of an Earth civilization.

The first half of the video is too shocking, and the second half is too terrifying, especially the sound of the door knocking from behind General Adrian in the last second. Voice.

   By the time Ou Yang applauded to break the silence, the mourning silence had lasted for three minutes.

  Clear applause sounded, accompanied by the loud cheers of Ouyang.

   "The last person on earth was sitting alone in a room, when suddenly there was a knock on the door...Classic, so classic!"

   Director Wei of the Secrecy Bureau and Director Zhong of the New Nineteenth Bureau glared at Ouyang, while Yang Xiaoqian was not surprised. This is Ouyang's old fault again.

Yang Xiaoqian doesn't know much about Ouyang. This third-rate science fiction writer was selected for the scientific team because of his rich imagination and ability to adapt beyond ordinary people. "Asian Human Analysis Report", won the appreciation of Yang Xiaoqian, and because of this, he became the leader of the scientific research team.

   This time Ouyang was able to participate in the meeting, presumably because Qi Xinwu wanted to borrow his imagination, but Qi Xinwu may not know the style of this eccentric, otherwise he would not let Ouyang step into the 19th inning.

Ou Yang shouted just now, apparently because he thought of the shortest science fiction novel written by Fritick Brown, a modern science fiction writer in the United States. This novel has only 25 words translated into Chinese. It is Ou Yang. The two sentences that were read out, and the scenes described by these two sentences, were very similar to the knock on the door that sounded in the last second of the video.

   "Has this video been edited?" Yang Xiaoqian once again provided protection for Ou Yang and changed the subject for him.

When Qi Xinwu was in need of steps, he immediately replied: "No, so the last sound was not a gunshot. If it was a gunshot, there would be at least one frame recording that General Adrian's head was blown open. This has already been carried out by the technical department. After comparing the soundtrack, the final sound is still a knock on the door."

   "Oh." Yang Xiaoqian nodded and asked again, "There is only this video in the mecha summoned by Tang Tao? In other words, we can't confirm whether what General Adrian said is true?"

"In addition to the video, there is Adrian's diary on the hard disk, and some materials, including the video of the asteroid hitting the earth." Director Wei said, "But it is indeed impossible to confirm, but I can't think of a reason for falsification, at least We can be sure that this kind of mecha never appeared in our world, and the heavy locomotives, heavy machine guns, and manned gunships summoned by Tang Tao never appeared in our world, but in Adrian's diary It's been there... So, I think it's true, people are dying, and their words are good, there's no need to make up a lie and commit suicide."

   "Oh, yes, there are diaries and other materials, Director Qi said." Yang Xiaoqian rubbed his eyebrows and shook his head, "But, Adrian may not have committed suicide."

   "Huh?" Director Wei looked over.

   "Tang Tao summoned a mecha, and the video was stored in a hard drive inside the mecha. It seems that there is no mecha in the video, right?"

Yang Xiaoqian waved his hand, and then Qi Xinwu asked him to play the last part of the video again. Indeed, there was only one table, one chair, one large and one small **** flags in the small office, and the office had a floor height of at most three meters. , simply cannot accommodate mechas as high as six meters.

"It may have been posted by someone else, and something was hitting the door in the last second of the video." Referring to this unknown existence that had never appeared in the video, Director Wei shivered slightly, as if he had been popped out of nowhere while watching a horror movie. The ghost was startled, "Of course, it's also possible that General Adrian didn't shoot himself, maybe his pistol jammed, and then he escaped from the office, driving the mech and... It's definitely not a human, it could be a saint, or other monsters? Adrian drove the mecha to fight the monsters, and uploaded the video to the hard drive... Well, I'm just talking about a possibility, and I'm throwing some ideas."

   In the end, Director Wei himself realized that his statement was full of loopholes and could not continue. He could only stop after saying a few words.

   "What do you think?" Yang Xiaoqian turned to look at Yu Qian.

  The survivors of the civilization on the moon base suddenly began to go crazy and kill each other. No matter how you look at it, this is a strange thing. It is obviously impossible to say that they are collectively crazy because they are not adapted to the environment. And if anyone in the audience knows about this, it can only be Yu Qian, because the pocket watch he brought records the various disasters experienced by another world in the past 400 years.

"It's a bit like spiritual alienation, but it's not the same. Spirit alienators don't hear any 'devil's whispers', they just change their mental state, and gradually become irritable, bloodthirsty, cruel, but only kill others. Creatures, do not commit suicide. I am not too sure, this may be a new type of disaster that has not been recorded." Yu Qian frowned and shook his head, asking another more critical question, "I would like to know another more important question than this one. The answer."

"If all the information given in the video is true..." Yu Qian pointed to the projection screen and asked slowly, "Does that mean that even if we leave the earth, we will continue to encounter various disasters? If these disasters exist For purpose, is their target the earth or earth humans? Should they be humans, right? If we can’t get rid of them by escaping to the moon, is it possible that even if we escape to Mars and the solar system, we still have to face A constant disaster?"

   This is really a terrifying imaginary, and it is no less terrifying than the video on the projection screen. If you are destined to be destroyed wherever you go, then what is the point of this futile struggle? Just thinking about it like this makes people feel hopeless. Looking at the dark screen, it seems that they are seeing a long dark night.

Qi Xinwu didn't dare to let the pessimism in the conference room continue to spread, and said aloud: "We have too little information to make any inferences, so we can't be blindly optimistic, and we don't have to be too pessimistic, at least we are still I don't know what happened in the moon base in another world. Maybe it's a virus that only exists in the moon and affects the operation of the brain and leads to mental disorders. Maybe there is a latent awakener in the moon base who can be like Lin Wanyu. Hypnotic control of others...there are many possibilities, and without hard evidence, there is no need to draw pessimistic conclusions."

  Yu Qian glanced at the gloomy faces of everyone, and decided to remain silent for the time being.
