Suddenly, hundreds of thousands of people began to flee to the suburbs, and nearly a million more hid in their homes, basements, subway stations, and other places. The city was instantly thrown into chaos, traffic was paralyzed, and violent incidents of vandalism, looting, and arson began to occur one after another. As for Christmas, what was that thing?
But all of this was in vain.
Thousands of meters in the air.
A terrifying pressure slowly emanated from Hui, instantly covering the entire globe and continuously radiating subtle vibrations outwards.
Pfft!
The space-time of this Japanese Hokkaido region suddenly rippled and vibrated, the space rapidly thickening like silt in a swamp, and time seemed to be slowed down, becoming slower and slower.
The surrounding air, matter, energy... these things that were previously difficult for Hui to "digest" are now all beginning to turn into nothingness.
The first thing affected is light, which is why people in Sapporo previously saw light being "sucked away." Now, the darkness is spreading to the entire Eastern Hemisphere, with hundreds of millions of people watching the sky darken at a visible speed.
Secondly, the atmosphere began to fluctuate violently...
Chapter 468 Divine Descent 8
International Space Station.
Aiden Oswald, as usual, was conducting various experiments with focused concentration in his laboratory under microgravity conditions—his daily routine.
After completing the assigned experimental task, he floated out of the thick, one-meter-wide passageway of the experimental chamber, and then turned left and right to arrive at the exercise room.
Exercising is more important than daily experimental tasks; otherwise, prolonged weightlessness can directly lead to problems such as osteoporosis and muscle atrophy.
The exercise cabin is equipped with miniature exercise bikes, treadmills, and other equipment, making full use of every inch of space.
Inside the cabin, there was a small window on the wall, only about the size of two palms, covered with thick special glass.
Aiden Osway's favorite thing to do was look out through this small window. Although the dome cabin had larger windows and a wider view, it was often occupied.
The view outside the spacecraft was very monotonous. Even looking down at Earth from space, the sight of the entire planet appearing as a complete sphere before your eyes was breathtaking! Beautiful!
But if you watch it every day, you'll get tired of it.
Besides Earth, there is only the vast and deep darkness of space and the photosphere of the sun radiating blinding light.
The reason he liked to gaze out the window was simply because the space station was too cramped; it felt like living in a tunnel.
Only with the presence of windows could his biological instinct to crave more space be soothed.
Today, he looked out the window as usual.
Suddenly,
His face turned ashen in an instant, his mouth agape as he gasped for breath, and he stood there frozen, as if he had become a clay or wooden sculpture.
A massive cyclone, thousands of kilometers in diameter, appeared across the entire eastern hemisphere. The planet's atmosphere and clouds seemed to be drawn together by an immense force, converging and swirling towards it...
This scene looks just like a typhoon, but unlike a typhoon, it's huge, covering almost the entire Eastern Hemisphere and affecting the entire planet.
"What exactly is this?"
"Typhoon? Impossible!"
"Typhoons are just one part of the overall atmospheric movement process. How could a typhoon directly affect the entire planet's atmosphere?"
Aiden Osway muttered to himself, sensing that something big was happening, and quickly activated communication with the ground.
However, the signal was very poor, and he couldn't contact the ground after several attempts.
……
Neon lights.
Tokyo.
Today, the festive atmosphere here is much stronger and more bustling than in the impoverished city of Sapporo in Hokkaido.
Along a 1.2km stretch of road near Tokyo Station, connecting Yurakucho and Otemachi, two rows of about 200 roadside trees are adorned with more than one million champagne-gold LED lights, emitting colorful lights even during the day.
All the shops had banners with discount and promotional advertisements, and staff in cartoon jackets were handing out flyers and discount coupons to passersby...
Along Ginza Street in Tokyo, near Tokyo Bay, a long Christmas parade stretches as far as the eye can see. In the procession, girls wear red and white fluffy Christmas short-sleeved dresses and skirts, while others dress up as snowmen, sugar figurines, puppet soldiers, and other mascot costumes...
The most eye-catching feature was the giant Santa Claus balloon floating in the air, swaying in the wind, which was quite adorable. Traffic control was implemented along the entire central passage, prohibiting vehicles from entering.
Crowds gathered on both sides of the avenue, and at first glance, almost all of them were couples holding hands. The scene was filled with noisy laughter, and everyone was immersed in the joy of the festival.
Until... the sky darkened!
Until... a wall of water appeared in the sky!
A moving wall of water, deep blue in color, with a shimmering surface. Where it meets the sky, a long white line appears, stretching as far as the eye can see.
People were stunned and at a loss for what to do; they knew a tsunami was coming.
But it is precisely because we know this that we remain unmoved. It is too tall, too big, and too fast. It is estimated to be hundreds of meters high. The magnificent and towering skyscrapers are just like building blocks in front of it. As for humans, they are like ants!
"Run!"
Someone at the scene shouted.
Like a bomb dropped into a calm lake, it jolted people awake from their fear. They turned and scrambled to escape, instantly transforming into wild horses, trampling over anything in their way, desperately trying to push forward. As for the marching procession, it had already been swallowed up by the frenzied crowd, or perhaps it had become part of the crowd itself...
But it's too slow.
Faced with a tsunami hundreds of meters high, the human speed to escape is like that of a snail crawling along.
puff--!!!!
In an instant, the giant wave roared and swallowed the area with overwhelming force. High-rise buildings, trees, vehicles... were all uprooted and became part of the huge water curtain, which continued to rush inland.
As for the people on the ground, under immense pressure, they burst open, their blood, tissue, and muscle mixing into the seawater...
A corner cafe in Tokyo, near the inland area.
A man and a woman were sitting inside chatting; more accurately, the woman was talking and the man was listening.
If Hui were here, she would recognize that the man was Yujin, and that the girl looked seven-tenths like herself.
The girl was slender, wearing a light gray dress with a black trench coat over it. Her two long, shapely legs were covered with black stockings, and her small feet were wearing small leather shoes, which perfectly showcased her delicate and exquisite figure.
With delicate steps, she bends her slender waist, revealing her fair wrists beneath the light gauze.
The girl had clearly dressed up carefully. Her long, thick eyelashes, the light eyeshadow on her eyelids, and the slightly red, glossy color of her lips were almost identical. In addition, there were many other imperceptible makeup touches. These touches were just icing on the cake for this girl, who was already a beautiful girl.
She exuded an innate nobility in every gesture, and her beautiful face radiated a stern arrogance, making those around her want to look at her but dare not look directly at her.
She sipped her coffee, and only when she glanced at Yujin from time to time did the pride in her eyes disappear, replaced by a hint of shyness.
"...Is this the coffee that ordinary people drink? Although the smell is murky, the coffee beans are too old and mixed with unripe and substandard products, the taste is too sweet, and the roasting is not well controlled, it's almost like drinking sugar water. But, occasionally drinking it is surprisingly not bad."
Mina Kujo took the initiative to start the conversation.
"What do you think, Hisahito?"
"Hmm," Yuujin replied casually.
I went on a date with this woman purely to complete a task assigned by my mother.
For some reason, his mother has been very enthusiastic about his marriage lately, forcing him to choose one of the girls from a stack of photos for a date.
However, he wasn't in the mood for dating at all. For some reason, he had been feeling empty inside lately, as if he had lost something important and had no desire to be in a relationship.
Under his mother's pressure, he had no choice but to randomly pick someone to appease her, but somehow, he inexplicably chose the girl in front of him, Mina Kujo.
He didn't know why, but when he looked at the goddess in the photo, he always felt a strange sense of familiarity.
This girl was absolutely beautiful, with impeccable looks. Even among a group of photos of girls, she stood out from the crowd, but he always felt that something was missing.
In their subsequent conversation, he was disappointed. The girl couldn't fill the void in his heart, and he always felt like he had forgotten something... because he was absent-minded.
"Yujin, I heard there's a Christmas carnival going on at Roppongi Hills, it's really lively. How about we go there later?"
Mina Kujo naturally noticed Hisahito's absent-mindedness, and her eyes dimmed slightly, but she quickly forced a smile and continued the conversation.
“…Hmm.” Yuujin’s eyes were looking out the window, his thoughts wandering elsewhere.
"I heard that today, heart-shaped lights and a Christmas tree called the 'Love Tree' will be placed on the observation deck of Tokyo Tower. If couples tie their own ribbons to the 'Love Tree,' their relationship will be 100% successful!"
Mina Kujo was a little shy as she spoke. You might not believe it, but this was the first time she had ever gone on a date with a boy.
"Hmm," Yuujin replied perfunctorily.
After being "humiliated" by Hisahito time and time again, Mina Kujo finally couldn't take it anymore.
She was born into a noble family and possessed unparalleled beauty. She had always been a cherished treasure, and had never been humiliated by a man like this before.
The reason she was so humble in front of Hisahito was twofold: firstly, because she and her family could not afford to offend Hisahito's status; and secondly, because she had fallen in love with Hisahito through their brief interactions.
Yu-Jin was handsome and of noble birth. Although he was a bit chauvinistic, he was by no means wicked and had none of the filth and depravity of the scions of the powerful families she had met before.
In her eyes, such a man was like a prince charming.
Although she was a little angry, she didn't dare to lose her temper in front of Yujin, so she bluntly stated: "Yujin, that woman is dead. You buried her with your own hands. Forget about her. I will love you a thousand times, ten thousand times more than she did!"
Yuujin suddenly froze, looking at Kujo Mina with a puzzled expression: "What, that woman?"
Chapter 469 Divine Descent 9
Mina Kujo thought Hisahito was still deceiving her, so she opened her mouth and said, "I—Zai—Kei—."
Yujin shuddered. With each word he heard, his eyes widened as memories of Hui flooded his mind.
He suddenly stood up, startling Mina Kujo.
He muttered to himself, "Why?! Why did I forget Hui? What happened?!"
Just then, he suddenly clutched his head in pain.
"Who is Hui? What am I doing? No, Hui is the woman I love, the woman I was willing to laugh for, the woman I was willing to cry for. She's dead, she died in the fire, and the DNA results show that the charred body is her... But why can't I remember what Hui looks like? Right, who is Hui?..."
Unbeknownst to Hisahito, the DNA results he saw had been altered.
His mother already disliked Hui, and now that she had this opportunity, she naturally wouldn't let it pass. So, she simply went with the flow and secretly ordered the doctor to change the DNA test results, so that Yujin would give up completely.
Yujin felt as if there were two sets of memories in his mind, one with Satoshi and the other without. He clutched his head in pain...
Of the two sets of memories, the one without Hui began to gain the upper hand...
"Yahito, Yahito, what's wrong?" Mina Kujo came to Yahito's side with concern and touched his head.
