When the familiar music ended, the most famous beautiful host in the press in TV raised his head slightly and showed his signature smile. Of course, in Yi Xi's keen eyes, the panic under the beautiful host's smile did not decrease much.

"Ladies and gentlemen of the Later Tang Empire, good morning, I am Wenjing. Here is an emergency news. The asteroid named God of War, numbered 4179, will pass across the earth on December 22, 2012, Chang'an Standard Time. The straight-line distance from the earth is only 900,000 kilometers. According to scientists from many countries around the world, the beautiful host said subconsciously, with a hint of resentment in his tone. "As for astronomical enthusiasts all over the world, a distance of 900,000 kilometers, more than 99% of the earth's gravity will pull this meteorite into the earth's orbit and hit the earth."

"According to calculations, the power of this impact will be two thousand times the power of the atomic bomb dropped by the American Empire on Fusang in 1945. However," said the beautiful host Wen Jing smiled again. "Please rest assured that everyone in front of the TV. This report does not tell you that the end of the world is coming, but rather that with the current science and technology of the Star of Gaia, we can use space-based directional weapons to smash it into pieces before the planet of War is approaching the earth. Through the burning of the atmosphere, the "God of War" will not have a slight threat to the Star of Gaia. Moreover, TV stations around the world will broadcast the entire scene on that day. At that time, you may enjoy the most beautiful meteor shower since the 21st century."

Finally, after sorting out the manuscript in his hand, Wen Jing continued, "About the legend of doomsday that has become more and more popular on the Internet recently is purely nonsense. We believe that nothing in the world is eternal, but doomsday will definitely not be in this century. At least, since the 1970s, after we humans mastered the space-based weapons, with the joint cooperation of the five major countries of the United Nations, the threat of asteroids to humanity has been zero. This time, this incident was reported because some ill-hearted molecules wanted to take this opportunity to create chaos. After all, most astronomical enthusiasts can do this. Finally, I wish all the audiences in front of the TV a happy Dragon Boat Festival. Of course, we will see you on December 22, and see you again."

"Ha," After the news ended, the TV screen jumped back to the previous comedy of Mr. Bean in the British Empire. Yi Xi, who was leaning against the wall, couldn't help but chuckled. Of course, his chuckling was not because of Mr. Bean's comedy, but the previous news. In fact, he guessed that it was not just the Later Tang Empire. It was estimated that the whole world played this news in almost the same time. The purpose was to be afraid that someone would disrupt the order of the world through this disaster that was not considered a disaster to achieve some goals. In Yi Xi's view, humans are the best creatures in the world. Just like the world's salt-grabbing trend caused by the explosion of the Fukushima nuclear power plant in Fuso at the beginning of the year, the word "following people" was proposed by our ancestors for thousands of years, which really caused global fear. If we play this news, it would probably not be of much use.

－－－－－－－－－－－

Late at night, Yi Xi was already exhausted when he was guarding his brother Yi Xing for three days and placed him behind the cemetery. However, he still forced himself to take a shower before coming to his study. As a man with a cleanliness obsessiveness, it was his limit to not take a shower for three days. Perhaps because of his long-term use of shampoo flavor, if you don’t take a shower for more than two days, Yi Xi would feel itchy all over. He gestured to the mirror to entertain his thin figure, and then rubbed his gray and white short hair. Then he walked to sit at the desk.

"Hiss~" I lit a cigarette for myself and took a long sip. Yi Xi felt that his body finally belonged to me. The reason was very simple. For some reasons, Yi Xi was a vegetarian. He had no way to eat meat. Not to mention eating it, he would even feel disgusted when he saw the meat. Naturally, he lacked exercise and his body would not be much better. He was able to keep his soul for three days without fainting. To be honest, Yi Xi himself admired himself a little. After a long time, after crushing the cigarette butt in his hand on the ashtray, Yi Xi swayed and took out a black notebook about the size of A4 paper from the drawer.

Open the notebook, there is a line of words written in a fountain pen on the title page, "Family Death Record", and the next page is not a text, but a linear diagram similar to the genealogy. The top is his grandfather, Yi Anren, and the bottom is the branch of the Yi family, with three sons and three daughters, and the bottom is each son and daughter's respective families. The one who beats X means that the person is dead. After sighing slightly, Yi Xi

He picked up the pen and typed a bright red X on his uncle's brother. At this point, the Yi family's still alive direct blood relatives (the so-called direct blood relatives here mean descendants of the males of the Yi family. For example, the children of Yi Xi's second aunt and third aunt's family are not considered direct blood relatives of the Yi family, regardless of gender, they are not considered direct blood relatives of the Yi family). Only the second uncle, second aunt, third aunt, himself, and second uncle's daughter, that is, that cousin.

The content behind the line diagram is the time, death method, and their relationship with the Yi family. When you turn to the latest page, Yi Xi recorded the matter of his brother Yi Xing on it. He did this not a special hobby. Even if Yi Xi was no longer a good person, he would not have the idea of ​​making jokes about his dead relatives. In fact, Yi Xi has always believed in one thing, that is, the Yi family was cursed, and only the curse could prove all this, because from the beginning to now, all the dead people in the Yi Xi family, his parents, grandfather, uncle, uncle's son, and aunt, all died suddenly (unnatural death, disease, accident), and the entire family only had his second uncle, second aunt, and third aunt's family.

That's why he started recording everything and hoped to find some clues from it. If there was a little possibility, or even cracking the curse, after all, no normal person in the world hoped to die early. The reason why Yi Xi firmly believed in the world that cursed such a pseudoscientific thing in the 21st century was not because he had seen too many deaths, but because Yi Xi had a ability that outsiders didn't know.

Just like the superpower recorded in movies and novels, Yi Xi is also a mutant in a sense, but his ability is quite special, that is, he can communicate with inorganic substances with "spirituality". Of course, the communication here is not like the anthropomorphism in anime film and television works, such as talking to a rock, but a perception, perceive everything this inorganic substance has experienced and obtain the information he wants from it. As for what the so-called "spirituality" means, Yi Xi himself does not know. This is just his own collective name for the unique attributes of that type of inorganic substance.

Because of the special family, after several deaths, Yi Xi became mature at a young age and knew how to protect himself. He was always cautious and knew that he would never say a word to the outside world before he was able to protect this ability, because he firmly believed that there were definitely other similar people in this world besides him, at least from the perspective of probability. So when you don’t know much about the source of this ability, be careful, there is no mistake. Such scenes in science fiction novels such as being caught and sliced ​​are not impossible to achieve.

Just like the jade-made Pixiu that was inherited from his grandmother's grandmother's jade, to outsiders, even if it was scientifically identified, it was just a worthless street stall. However, Yi Xi could sense the wind and frost years that this jade had endured. The feeling was as far away as it had been through dozens of centuries. However, because of some reasons that Yi Xi didn't know, he could only sense the distantness of this strange beast, but could not sense everything it had experienced. This was different from other things he encountered in normal times, but this proved the extraordinaryness of this jade beast. Yi Xi, who had read a lot of science fiction and fantasy novels, could only comfort himself with the reason that it was too old and his current abilities were insufficient. Sometimes he even fantasized that his abilities could be developed in a completely sense, at least, to make his life better, on the basis of confidentiality.

However, at this moment, Yi Xi did not pay attention to her ability, nor did she watch the most popular satellite live broadcast on online TV to fight meteorites. Instead, she focused all her attention on the black notebook. The second uncle, because his aunt's family was in another province and he had no worries, became a son-in-law in the back and transferred his household registration to his aunt's house. The second aunt and the third aunt got married at the age of 20. Only the eldest aunt died before she got married. She looked back and forth and back, and then said a few words, Yi Xi found that she seemed to know something amazing.

"Is this curse only targeting people in the Yi family?" Yi Xi, leaning on the bench, lit a cigarette for himself and reorganized his somewhat confused thoughts. "In other words, it is very likely that in a certain year in the past, the generation of grandfather or grandfather's father offended someone like me, but that person's ability is a curse, so people in the Yi family have been subjected to such an inexplicable curse for generations?"

"And," Yi Xi laughed a few times with some self-deprecating smiles, "According to the current genealogy, I'm afraid I'm the last member of the Yi family. In this case, no matter whether this inference is true or false, you don't have to tell the second uncle and the others. It doesn't make any sense anyway, and you may even be scolded by the second uncle!" Naturally, what Yi Xi refers to is that in the 21st century, during the information explosion era, people mostly sneer at supernatural things, including his relatives.

As the saying goes, it is better to believe that it exists than to believe that it does not exist. Yi Xi, who has superpowers, has always been very scared in his heart for so many years, afraid that one day he will be like his relatives, be accidental and sick, and he will not be as calm as he faces death. So when he inferred how to save himself, most of the psychological pressure has disappeared instantly, as if a helpless person has grasped a life-saving straw. Although from the bottom of his heart, Yi Xi was not sure about his inference, but having it is better than not, so he, who has always been serious, had a little smile on his face this time.
