I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 1167 Butterfly flaps its wings
Humans look up at the sky with their cloudy pupils, and the Creator is looking down at humans with the same pair of eyes.

When the hurricane caused by the flapping of the butterfly's wings hit, some people who should not be alive lived, and of course some people who should not have died died.

Even the Creator himself cannot control the twists and turns of reality. The world has changed its angle, and above this angle, there is also the unavoidable separation of life and death.

But the Creator has no choice. This is a necessary sacrifice. If there is gain, there must be loss. This is the most profound truth that the Creator realized in the abyss. Even if he has escaped from the abyss, such rules are still in operation.

“Have we really escaped from the abyss?”

The Creator looked at the world. The huge pit no longer existed. The world looked like it had never had a "scar". No one knew what the abyss was, and no one was troubled by the abyss. Everything was as he expected. After getting away from the abyss, the world was completely "clean".

But, something always feels wrong...

……

"Mom, I'm going to join the disaster relief team..."

After eating and drinking, the youngest son, who had been silent all the time, slowly expressed his decision.

The reason why he chose to say it on this special holiday was to commemorate his father who had already sacrificed his life, and also to prevent himself from giving up.

Naturally, the younger son's words were met with opposition from his older brothers and sisters. They began to persuade him with reason and emotion, one after another, and the younger son silently lowered his head.

"Disasters are becoming more frequent now, and my mother's heart is not in good condition. Are you trying to piss us off to death?"

"You are so kind, sacrificing yourself for humanity. What should we do? Should we prepare an extra set of bowls and chopsticks for you during the Qingming Festival?"

“Don’t just do something that you think is great because no one will remember your name. Those who do remember your name will only be sad.”

"Do you want to make us all sad?"

"You have always been very obedient. Listen to us this time too. Don't join in the fun. Even if you don't go, there will be others who will. The disaster relief team is not the place for you. Just do your current job well."

"..."

Listening to these words of persuasion, the younger son lowered his head lower and lower, almost buried it under the table, and his hands were clasped together awkwardly, rubbing them on his thighs.

Just like his older brothers and sisters said, he has always been the most obedient child in the family, never making noises, never fighting or competing, and never trying to win anything. Now, making this decision has exhausted all his courage.

However, just when he was about to give up, his mother, who had been silent for a long time, spoke. After his father left, his mother became the backbone of the family. As soon as she opened her mouth, everyone at the table shut up.

"Let him be."

The old mother only said four simple words.

"No! How can we let him go? Are you confused?"

"That's a disaster relief team, people are going to die!"

"Do you really want to get another set of bowls and chopsticks?"

The children became more and more excited as they spoke. In order to persuade their mother, they no longer cared about their words and spoke as fervently as possible.

The old mother didn't get angry when she heard these words, and her face remained calm.

"Okay."

She whispered softly, and everyone fell silent.

"Let him decide for himself. He is old enough to make his own decision..."

After saying that, she looked at her youngest son.

The youngest son finally raised his head. He first looked at his brothers and sisters, his eyes swept through those warning eyes, and finally stopped at his mother's face. The old mother said nothing, but nodded gently.

The younger son's suppressed courage surged up again.

"Mom, I've made my decision."

"Just make the decision. If you regret it, come back."

"Yeah." The youngest son nodded heavily.

Even though her youngest son made such a momentous decision, the old mother's face remained calm. She looked at the dishes that had not yet been put away and began to mutter, "He is exactly like you."

……

The news started playing on TV again, and a disaster happened somewhere again.

I don’t know when these disasters, both large and small, started to occur more and more frequently.

Tsunamis continued to occur in coastal areas, and some cities were even forced to relocate to other places. The sea level rose inexplicably, and even scientists could not find the reason.

There is a small earthquake every three days and a big earthquake every five days in the earthquake zone. Everything is reduced to ruins, and people have to move their families to places far away from the earthquake zone.

The rain continued for half a month and the dam could no longer hold on. The gates were opened to release water, flooding the plains downstream and leaving tens of millions of people homeless.

Perhaps because of the frequent earthquakes and heavy rains, towns and roads near the mountains suffer landslides and mudslides from time to time, and people living nearby are worried every day.

Even in big cities, there are news reports every day: fires, gas leaks and explosions, chain accidents...

It seemed like everything was going wrong.

People all sensed that the world was changing, but no one could tell why.

Most people don’t have the time to care about those big things that are far away. They still have to support their families and deal with life.

The government has set up many disaster relief teams to deal with the shortage of rescue personnel. Unknowingly, these disaster relief teams have become more and more numerous and have quietly entered people's daily lives.

Some people said that the frequent disasters were a sign of the end of the world and that the Creator was punishing mankind, but these people were arrested for spreading rumors.

The feeling of panic spread deep in people's hearts. Although it did not affect daily life, everyone became more conservative in doing things.

Everyone has become more cautious, as if the world would collapse if they exerted even a little force.

The authorities have never come out to explain all this, and the TV just keeps reporting the disasters, as if these disasters have become part of daily life.

The number of deaths and the economic losses caused seem to be just a number. They can arouse people's empathy at first, but after being repeated again and again, they can no longer stimulate people's nerves.

People have become extremely numb, turning a blind eye and a deaf ear, and even when the world around them is collapsing, they still mechanically do their own things.

Those who have faith call out to their gods over and over again, wanting to ask God what is happening in the world.

But God will not answer.

At this moment, above the sky of text, the Creator was still touching the modified words, puzzled by the changes in the world.

He looked for the logic of the disasters between the lines, but there was no trace of these sudden disasters.

Just as humans cannot see how the flapping of a butterfly's wings creates a hurricane, the Creator cannot see why those disasters occur.

The destruction of the world seemed to have come without any reason...
