Chen Xiangling was observing the night sky with great interest, while Yi Zhong looked at her from behind with a faint smile and said, "Xiangling, I saw a special star."
"What is it??"
"It is on the axis of the celestial sphere's rotation, so it appears stationary to an observer on Earth. The distance to Polaris is used as a step in the cosmic distance ladder."
"The North Star is about 433 light-years away from the Earth (results from the Hipparcos satellite) or 448 light-years (results from the Gaia satellite), and the diameter of the main star is about 52 million kilometers (37.5 solar radii)."
"In 3000 BC, it was not Alpha Ursae Minoris, but Alpha Draconis, a 3.7 magnitude star known in ancient China as Youshu."
"By 1000 BC, Beta Ursae Minoris (also known as Polaris II in Chinese) was relatively close to the north celestial pole. Since all the stars in the sky revolved around it, the ancients believed it to be the Son of Heaven, hence the name Emperor. Because of its central position in the Purple Palace, it was also called Purple Star."
The Big Dipper is used to determine the four seasons and distinguish between cold and heat. When the handle of the Big Dipper points east, spring arrives; when it points south, summer arrives; when it points west, autumn arrives; and when it points north, winter arrives. The changing direction of the Big Dipper's handle indicates the changing seasons.
"But I found that there are other stars surrounding it, Xiangling, do you know its true meaning?
Having said that, Yi Zhong's tone suddenly became much gentler, and he looked straight at Chen Xiangling.
"Brother Yi Zhong, are you talking about the Big Dipper?"
Shen Xinran suddenly interrupted.
Cough, cough, cough. In an instant, the warm moonlight atmosphere in the air was completely destroyed, and Yi Zhong was in tears.
The words I had prepared to say could no longer be spoken at this moment, and the good atmosphere was gone.
In the moonlight, she saw a wound on Yi Zhong's finger.
"This is for you."
He was about to take out the Band-Aid and hand it to Yi Zhong, but Shen Xinran took it with his hand, then turned around expressionlessly and handed the Band-Aid to Yi Zhong.
"Brother Yi Zhong, it's just a minor injury, it won't be a big deal, right?"
Chen Xinran said to him with a kind smile, and Yi Zhong had no choice but to accept his fate and took the band-aid from Chen Xinran's hand and said "thank you" to him.
Create a world where only Yi Zhong is hurt...
Bai Zhiye also successfully added Ye Qingliu. She didn't expect that the other party would agree to go to Quanxin High School with her to explore the mysterious truth.
In the quiet campus late at night, the occasional rustling sound of wind could be heard. The two turned on the flashlights on their mobile phones and went to the seventh floor.
It is said that the strange noise came from this room. There are at least six rooms like this on the seventh floor, and the door of each room is locked with a rusty lock.
The two walked through the long corridor and came to the end of it. Ye Qingliu took out a piece of wire from his pocket, pried open the door lock, and went in with her.
She saw everything Ye Qingliu did. This guy's fingers were so nimble. If she were with him, and asked him to rob a bank... then she wouldn't have to worry about anything for the rest of her life, right?
Cough cough cough, you’re thinking too far ahead. It’s important to get down to business.
Bai Zhiye hadn't expected the seemingly small room to actually be so spacious. In the corners, there were rows of cabinets and cardboard boxes. Normally, this room was used to store miscellaneous items, such as props for school club activities, sports equipment, and so on.
Bai Zhiye shone the flashlight around but didn't find anything unusual.
"There's another door inside."
"Let's go in and take a look."
After the two of them went in, they found that there was a loft behind the door.
The gray-black corners of the wall are covered with spider webs, and the row of sculptures in the corners are made of milky white stones. Each sculpture is lifelike and has a unique shape and posture.
But they all have one thing in common: most of their facial expressions maintain a Mona Lisa-like smile, with empty eyes. Some of the statues have cracks on their joints, but this does not affect their beauty.
The wooden box that had been placed quietly suddenly moved, which scared Bai Zhiye who was about to get closer. She grabbed Ye Qingliu's clothes in fear and hid behind him.
Ye Qingliu held the cell phone in one hand and opened the wooden box very calmly.
Suddenly, the black shadow inside seemed to feel the stimulation of the strong light, and it jumped out of the box with a "whoosh". It was a light gray mouse.
When the mouse saw people, it ran away in a flash and no one knew where it was. Maybe it is still in this room.
"I was scared to death."
She patted her heart, which had been beating violently just now. In that instant, a scene from a horror movie she had seen before flashed through Bai Zhiye's mind.
The box contained some broken pieces of statues, nothing special.
For some reason, perhaps it was human's sixth sense, Bai Zhiye felt like his back was covered with thorns.
She looked back at the portrait sculpture in the corner. The expression on the sculpture's face was a little strange, a weird smile, slightly different from what she had just seen.
"Since we haven't found anything, let's go out first. It's a bit weird and scary here."
"Who was it that just said we were going to solve the mystery? Now I'm scared."
Bai Zhiye listened to the other person's words. The boy's tone was slightly teasing. The unyielding spirit in her heart was rekindled. It was such a familiar feeling.
She looked into the other person's beautiful eyes, and the light in those eyes seemed to be sucked in, and there was endless darkness in his eyes.
