Chapter 242 Rekindling(1/2)
February 6th.
When the time came to this slightly special date, the atmosphere in many places in China and even around the world became subtle.
After several days of fermentation, news about the Spirit Network activities has already spread, and I don’t know how many people have been looking forward to this day.
Relevant discussions have never stopped in the past few days and have become more and more intense.
Although most people have some doubts about this, in view of many previous events, they can't help but have some expectations in their hearts.
Similarly, there are also some people who have a gambler's mentality.
In the hope of being mysteriously selected, I even prepared a long wish list in advance.
As the time approached, many people stopped what they were doing and seemed restless.
Although the event announcement states that it will last for ten hours, how can anyone sit still for such a thing?
Magic City.
Inside the official newly built warrior self-cultivation gym, members area.
Two warriors were fighting each other in a ring imitating Yangcheng, with many people watching.
With a bang, one of them fell to the ring first, and the fight ended.
"I lost this wave." The defeated young warrior waved his hands.
The winner was a slender young man in his twenties. Hearing this, he smiled, came down from the stage, and said:
"You weren't thinking about fighting just now."
The latter smiled bitterly, picked up his phone, looked at the time, and said:
"Xining, I don't have a good attitude like you. I can still concentrate at this time."
Shen Xining, who was ranked seventh on the top 100 list, opened the mineral water and took a sip before saying:
"Didn't Lingwang say that it can be done from seven o'clock in the evening to five o'clock tomorrow morning? What's the rush?"
"Hey, aren't you all curious?" said a young warrior next to him, and then looked at the people around him, "What are you going to wish for?
Is there anything convenient to say?
I don’t know if any of us can be selected.”
As he said that, he looked at Shen Xining in the center of the crowd. As the only warrior in the top ten of the first batch of top 100 demon cities, the latter has become a man of the hour recently and is also the focus of everyone in the gym.
"As for me, I wish I could jump to S-level at once." Shen Xining thought for a while and said.
The other warriors also laughed? Apparently everyone had the same idea.
…
Commonwealth? New York.
As the only area covered by the spiritual network outside of China? People here are also the most enthusiastic about a series of mysterious events.
So? After the Spirit Network event appeared a few days ago, the news spread quickly.
But because of the time difference? It's still afternoon here, and most people haven't gotten off work yet. Even the school, unlike in China, is still teaching.
Inside a certain middle school.
There was still class at this time, but all the students in the classroom seemed distracted, and the air was filled with faint excitement.
"It's 19:00 in a few minutes. Are you ready to join?"
In the classroom? A boy with slightly curly hair whispered to the classmates around him.
"Rory? But our country's time has not yet come." Another boy reminded in a low voice: "You are talking about China's time."
"I know!" the student named Luo Li said seriously, "Who can say for sure which country's time the event date is based on? Anyway, it is written in Chinese. From my opinion, it is most likely based on that country's time.
"
"But the event notice also says 'Only for that night'. Is it still daylight here? If you ask me, it must be calculated according to different countries' own time."
"No? I think..."
Several students got into an argument for a while and didn't stop until the teacher scolded them.
Rory, who had slightly curly hair, immediately closed his mouth.
I checked the Chinese time on my phone and concentrated on it. I started to make my wish.
Not just him? At this moment, the entire world, especially many countless people in the Eastern Hemisphere, stopped what they were doing and looked seriously at the minutes and seconds on their watches and mobile phones.
It's like waiting for a ceremony to arrive.
Online, many groups have become more active than ever:
"It's almost time!"
"One more minute!"
"Twenty seconds countdown!"
"Ten seconds..."
Messages in the group chat are constantly flowing.
Ta-ta-ta-ta, finally, when the hands of the clock finally turned to 19 o'clock, countless group chats suddenly became extremely silent, and no one spoke anymore.
And those people who were watching the time closed their eyes almost at the same time, and with a secret sense of excitement, they all chanted the same "spell":
"Mysterious spirit, listen to my words..."
…
In a certain office building, when the time came, one employee after another left their workstations in tacit agreement, each looking for a quiet and uninhabited corner to try to recite.
On the street when the lights were on, some pedestrians raised their eyes from their mobile phone screens, looked around, and then murmured in a low voice.
In each family, people with different identities, ages, and personalities hid in their rooms, or gathered together, chanting in a slightly awkward and uneasy tone.
"Mysterious spirit, listen to my words..."
"Mysterious spirit, listen to my words..."
"Mysterious spirit..."
In a dimension that no one can observe, at this moment, as the mantra is chanted, tiny, almost imperceptible light points rise from the people who are chanting the password.
Flying towards the high, dark starry sky.
In the land of China, the countries in the four directions, and millions of square kilometers of land, passwords recited in different languages are issued, one after another, light spots rise, gathering into a sea.
Then it suddenly disappears after reaching a certain height.
…
Lishan, in the study.
Lin Tuo sat silently in the chair, with an open computer screen in front of him, holding the middle part of the ancient candlestick in his right hand. At this moment, Lishan was shrouded in night.
At the top of the candlestick, the candle wick is dark gray and hangs softly.
When the time came to 19 o'clock, Lin Tuo took his eyes away from the screen and turned to look at the illusory sea of stars in the Evolution Sandbox beside him.
Then, he was surprised to find those light spots flying out from the earth.
They are extremely illusory and extremely small.
If the number wasn't huge enough, it would be difficult for him to find them even with the help of a sand table.
And as countless light points poured into the votive candles, the entire ancient candlestick suddenly became much heavier, and the dusty surface showed faint signs of brightness.
Lin Tuo's heart moved, he closed his eyes slightly, and with the help of the obtained authority, he tried to extend his consciousness to touch this extraordinary object.
The next second, amid the silent roar, Lin Tuo felt that he was connected to a vast and empty space, and countless murmurs of prayers echoed in his ears.
"Mysterious spirit..."
"Mysterious spirit..."
The whispering sound was very subtle, just like the buzzing of mosquitoes.
However, when it gathers into a vast ocean, it is like a storm of information.
If Lin Tuo hadn't only used his authority to control indirectly, he would have been overwhelmed by this torrent of information in an instant with just his own mental power!
And with the help of this connection, at this moment, he clearly knew the number of "password requests" received by the prayer candle:
One hundred million!
At this moment, the number of wish requests pouring in from the earth reached 100 million!
This was a quantity that surprised even Lin Tuo.
Moreover, a large number of requests are pouring in every second:
103.62 million.
108.13 million.
