After I died, I became a cat

============================

People in the sky fall down, and people on the ground look up to the sky.

But they didn't see the small figure that fell down. Even if they did, they would probably only regard the dusty black spots as debris in the sky.

Now, everyone's attention is attracted by even greater changes.

The sky is cracked like the earth after an earthquake, and Yan Ze is as dark as the earth.Magma surged under the cracked earth, scarlet light shone through the cracks, and starlight flowed behind the cracked sky. Starlight penetrated through the gaps, and it was the only light that people who had lost their light could see.

The moment Guangming Mountain collapsed, all the exquisite technologies developed in this world in a stable etheric environment over the past few hundred years had all been turned into a pile of rubbish.

For example, Chen Erhuang and other investigators have seen the copper tube room. Those copper tubes that look like silk threads can transmit extremely weak etheric fluctuations, but too violent etheric fluctuations will directly destroy the internal structure of the copper tubes.

This world has developed more than this kind of technology in hundreds of years. Not to mention other things, this world is even more developed than the earth in terms of small stable light and heat source technology.

The lighting crystal technology that can emit brilliance at night is mature, and the finished products are very cheap and will not cause any pollution.So much so that there is no essential difference between the lighting crystals used by nobles and the lighting crystals used by civilians.Guangming Mountain maintains a stable etheric environment for half of the continent, and all cities located in this environment are brightly lit at night.

The town at the foot of Guangming Mountain is obviously brighter than other cities.

This land is the world-famous city that never sleeps.

But now all that is seen is the ominous starlight.

"Guangming Mountain, why..."

In the darkness, Master Wilmot moaned tremblingly.

It was only after he finished speaking that he realized that he shouldn't have made a sound.

Hundreds of years ago, everyone was told how to deal with the collapse of the ether.The current rulers have not completely forgotten to be prepared for danger in times of peace. In the compulsory education that has been developed for decades, the regulations on how to deal with the collapse of the ether have not been completely removed from the textbooks.

The first one is to control and lower your voice so as not to cause the chain to collapse.

Master Wilmot, who forgot this point, subconsciously murmured that the surrounding temperature dropped by ten degrees Celsius instantly, the skin pores shrank, the blood flow in the capillaries slowed down, and the old man's heartbeat lost its rhythm a few times.

He had to tightly cover his chest, which seemed to be pressed by a huge boulder. His heavy body wanted to take the medicine, but he didn't dare to take the medicine, and he couldn't do it.

The second rule is to stop.

...I can't stop at all.

Leaning against the window sill, Master Wilmot tried to breathe calmly.Unlike the few investigators who came from foreign lands, most of the professional musicians like Master Wilmot have mastered the method of breathing without stirring up the ether.

But right now the old man is short of breath and weak, as if he will die in the next moment.

Leaning against the window sill, he heard countless people crying and screaming in the darkness.

These voices full of fear are bound to make the ether here even more chaotic, don't you all know this kind of thing that is taught in the first year of education?

……Do not.

Feeling that the temperature around him dropped by ten degrees Celsius and then rose by more than 20 degrees, and the ground shaking under his feet made him dizzy, Master Wilmot, like everyone else, knew that he should not cry or move, but he chose to control it. Can't help myself.

Failed the collective sanity check and fell into a state-hysteria.

Crowds who lose their minds will act out laughing.Crying, roaring, fear and other extreme emotional manifestations, the duration is 1D10.

If there are investigators here, they may hear such prompts from the rear support.

But it’s not a big deal if everyone is collectively crazy. Even if they laugh, cry, roar, or fear, the voices of human beings in this disaster are not much louder than the wailing of ants.

What filled people's ears was more the rumble of the earth, the roar of the storm, and the crunch of the broken sky.

Master Wilmot preserved a little sanity with his strong will, but at this moment, he was like a leaf in the vast ocean under a storm, no matter how hard he struggled, he could not escape the fate of destruction.

The old man who couldn't stop crying looked up at the sky.

His face covered with tears, snot and sweat, he thought:

He will perish on this day.

Heaven and earth will perish on this day.

However, to be able to hear this magnificent song of destruction played by the etheric elves before dying is also very great for those who have listened to "Mountain of Light" all their lives...

Big what?

Master Wilmot was stunned.

Like someone turned off the power, the song of destruction suddenly stopped playing.

Master Wilmot's eyes dimmed at first, but he didn't know that it was because the condensed dark clouds in the sky suddenly softened and returned to light mist, and the cracks in the sky were naturally closed, and the starlight coming through the cracks was natural. Without a trace.Then the old man felt a touch of wetness on his face, very cold wetness, because it was snowflakes that had melted halfway.

It's not so much snow, it's better to say it's the ground scarred by the drizzle of water vapor. As the rain stops and the dark clouds dissipate, people's cries gradually become clearer.

All the disasters caused by the collapse of the ether suddenly disappeared.

The old man who had long had the will to die gasped and panted, tears filled his eyes, his eyes were dull, and his barely maintained sanity completely collapsed.

The lights didn't come on.

The cries in the street grew louder.

Because everyone feels that the ether, the ether as important as air, has disappeared into this world.

***

"What happened outside?"

In the noisy and silent detention center, someone was talking to himself.

The dark dungeon was rarely so lively. Yi Lianna and Chen Erhuang led the unknown existence and Hu Bugui all the way out, and the huge noise almost woke up everyone in the detention center.

What they saw at that time—especially the tricks Hu Bugui used indiscriminately—made them feel like they were in a dream.

...Could it be that the restrictions set up by the Committee in the Silent Detention Center had gone wrong, allowing ether to flow in, allowing them to see such an incredible scene?

Therefore, except for the group of people in the cell next to Ye Weidan, who were still staring at Ye Weidan after Chen Erhuang and the others left, the other singers, musicians, conductors, etc. who woke up from their numbness began to sing songs one by one. .

Of course, it is still sung:

"Mountain of Light—!"

Ye Weidan immediately covered the cat's ears.

Most people here have not spoken for ten days and a half months. The 17-year-old suspects that they only open their mouths when they eat every day.A machine that hasn't been used for a week needs to be lubricated before it is turned on. This group of people sings without even swallowing, and everyone sings on their own, and the singing is not uniform.

As a result, of course, it did not arouse any movement that the prisoners wanted.

Just when the prisoners began to wonder whether they had been locked up for so long that they had hallucinations, the entire dungeon began to shake.

If the current Silent Detention Center is compared to a carriage, then it must be pulled by a hundred crazy horses dancing tap dances.

Unfortunately, the passengers in the car couldn't even shout: "Please let me get off!"

Ye Weidan would not show weakness and beg you to let me get out of the car. He cursed: "Fuck you!", arched his back, and quickly hid his brother's body under the clothes on his stomach.

The ceiling of the dungeon was raining grit, and finding Mullen stunned, he dragged the idiot to the corner of the wall again.

The triangular area at the corner of the wall, if there is an earthquake and the ceiling falls, there may be a small area for shelter.

However, perhaps because of cutting corners during the construction, each room in the Silent Detention Center is only separated by a row of iron fences.Not having a partition wall can enhance the ventilation of the dungeon, and it also ensures that every suspect in the detention center is under the gaze of more than three pairs of eyes all the time, and can't make any small movements.But when encountering a natural disaster like an earthquake, Ye Weidan had to wonder how much support this rusty iron pole has.

But at this critical moment, he is not qualified to choose.

On the contrary, in the cell next door to them, the conductor called Ms. Serra found that Ye Weidan dragged Ma Lun to hide behind the corner, and followed to hide in the corner very cleverly.

And Mullen was in a daze.

"Hey."

One side of his body was firmly pressed against the wall, and even though his body was covered with sand, he managed to ensure that the cat on his belly would not make a mistake, Ye Weidan called him.

And Mullen seemed to have never heard of it.

Ye Weidan was silent for three seconds.

"Snapped!"

He slapped Mullen.

Marlon, who probably made a sanity check, woke up suddenly. Just as he was about to jump up, Ye Weidan and Ms. Serra next door stretched out their hands at the same time and pushed him down.

The ceiling just collapsed completely at this moment, and the screams echoed in the dungeon corridor were endless.

Ma Lun, who walked once between life and death, broke out in cold sweat, but his eyes were still bright, and he struggled and shouted: "Ether, it is Ether!"

The prohibition has been broken, and the violent and disorderly ether poured into this cage isolated from the world.

In other cells, someone cheered.

"As long as there's ether, you can do whatever you want," Mullen said happily. "We, we can-"

The (former) chief singer of the Shining Star hadn't finished speaking, and one of the two hands that was pressing on his head fell down.It was the woman's hand, with slender bones, that stretched from behind the iron bars of the next cell to this cell, and covered Mullen's mouth tightly.

Mullen: "Mmmmmm!"

Mullen, who didn't know why, began to struggle, but not far from them, about a dozen cells away, another middle-aged man who sensed the ether laughed out loud, and the flames that emerged out of thin air ignited the corner of his clothes.

The laughter turned into screams, and the screams caused all kinds of strange things to appear around. The struggling Mullen saw frost streaks spreading on the ground, freezing the falling gravel together, and finally loosened his strength slowly.

After a few minutes, maybe only ten seconds later, Mullen, who had stopped struggling, suddenly trembled, and Ms. Serra, who was covering his mouth, also let out a soft ah.

Ye Weidan raised his head.

The earthquake stopped.
