This world didn’t care about anything. It wasn’t ruthless and cruel, it just didn’t care. It didn’t care about their happiness and it naturally didn’t care about their pain.

It seemed to be a natural change, just slowly moving forward. It naturally didn’t intend to let humans know the real reason. This wasn’t necessary. It was only the humans who were truly obsessed.

Humanity would be destroyed, life would die and Earth would collapse. Still, it didn’t care.

An Zhe stared blankly at the sky outside.

After the intermittent flashes, the aurora above them started to tremble madly. The green light scattered into dazzling meteors at a horrible speed. A large meteor shower burned and then disappeared, the remnants darting through the dark night sky.

In the laboratory, the machine gave a long beep. An Zhe suddenly looked up and saw a snowflake on the big screen.

Polly’s right hand clung tightly to the armrest of the seat and his hoarse voice showed his age. “Open the independent magnetic poles—”

He spoke at the same time there was a creepy howl, each voice difficult to describe using human language. They pierced the tympanic membrane. Outside the window, under the mountain, in the Abyss—the monsters were calling out beyond common sense.

A huge flapping sound came from the dense forest, as if thousands of birds were rising into the air. They had been lurking in the Abyss for a long time, testing each other and deadlocked with each other. Once the magnetic field was finally going to collapse, these terrible monsters started to move in unison.

Why? He didn’t know.

The first black shadow flew over the Highland Research Institute.

Polly came to the Simpson’s Cage operating desk.

Tang Lan asked in a low voice, “Sir, is it too late?”

Polly stated, “It’s too late.”

“Do you want to continue?”

There was a brief silence. Polly suddenly said, “Human vision is like the moon in the water. It seems to be in reach but the moment we touch the water, it is broken.”

“We thought the broken moon was also meaningful so we reached out to fish it up, only to find our palm full of water. Even more absurdly, the water flowed out of the palm of the gaps in our fingers.”

He looked at the numerous light spots like it was a distant still. “Still, if you give me a second chance and let me stand by the water, would I still want to fish it out?”

Polly Joan’s eyes were red and trembling, his voice choked up as  he closed his eyes and finally said, “I would.”

Tang Lan took out a black walkie-talkie from his pocket. He stared at everything in front of him, drooping eyes dim as he declared, “Prepare to defend.”
