The mystery (3) I had heard Zhang Ming praise the greatness of that Feisi person once before, and now, looking back, to destroy his temple and take his skull was indeed too offensive. I glanced at Wei Hou, who shook his head slightly, showing a helpless expression. For him, such acts of desecration were not new. Unexpectedly, Wei Hou said, “I plan to donate a sum to the Indian archaeological department specifically for the preservation of the Mahabalipuram beach ruins as compensation for the damage I’ve caused.” “Duo, do you remember the discussion we had when you first returned from India?” Liang Yingwu asked me. I nodded and said, “Now that I think about it, it was quite a twist of fate. Initially, I thought the tsunami was related to the prophecy, and the so-called revelation of the world’s truth was also connected to the tsunami, then I thought it was just geological calculation. After discussing with you, doubts arose again. As it turns out, hehe…” Liang Yingwu continued, “You were right all along; the prophecy was indeed just geological calculation, but it was also truly related to the tsunami. And the discovery of the tsunami was caused by the efforts of the Weimo star people to see the world clearly. The connection is quite mystical.” I nodded repeatedly; indeed, it was. Lu Yun smiled slightly: “The connections between all things in this world are inherently profound. You call it a coincidence, but I feel there’s an invisible thread tying everything together. If one day I could see where this thread leads, then…” Lu Yun’s voice trailed off, and I couldn’t hear what she said next. Ming Hui recited another Buddhist mantra, which seemed to echo Lu Yun’s words. I was a bit stunned, completely unable to grasp Lu Yun’s thoughts. The third gathering concluded like this. The divine code was answered, and from today, the old house would return to its former silence, and the neighbors would no longer see those figures that made them stare and whisper. Later, I privately asked Liang Yingwu about the contact between Organization X and the Weimo star people; he only told me two words: “Top Secret.” For the Weimo star people, although the divine code was deciphered, the centuries-old sentiment towards their holy land would not be easily dissolved. After Zhang Ming returned safely, the ban should be lifted. That means many visitors are about to arrive in our solar system. I imagined a scene of alien spacecrafts swarming in, but then I smiled. Haven’t there been enough alien visitors to Earth over the years? The Weimo star people probably come and go quietly, capable of mimicking human forms and blending in without being detected. After the divine code was deciphered, a civilization of humanity’s level would not be of much interest to the Weimo star people, and they would not focus their attention on Earth. There are eight planets in the solar system, plus the vast Kuiper Belt; there are many places to go. If one day, you shake hands with a stranger and feel a strange sensation, please do not call the police. It might just be a Weimo star tourist who ran out of energy.
One morning, I got up from bed, stretched, and looked at my hand, suddenly thinking, in the countless universes within this palm, in the mere tens of seconds I’ve been watching, how many advanced life forms similar to humans have been born and perished?
