Happiness Street was shaken.
The bizarre world before Xiao Ye's eyes began to tremble and blur. The indescribable being was enraged, and the degree of mental erosion was constantly intensifying.
A blank smile had already appeared on Xiao Ye's face. The figures of Sister Hong, Huang Feizhang, and Fatty appeared in her hallucination. They walked towards her with pale faces and empty eyes, as if hoping that she would lead them again.
Xiao Ye knew her time was running out. Soon she would become a true member of Happiness Street, living in endless happiness.
Xiao Ye stumbled forward, carrying her large schoolbag on her back and holding the demolition certificate in her hand.
She can't reach the finish line—flashlight, chocolate, wool, old books, roast duck, old cell phone, phone case—she can't reach the finish line—eyes can deceive.
She pulled a strip of something from her pocket and, with trembling hands, put it on her head. It was a black headband. Xiao Ye roughly reached out and pulled it up, unfolding the two folded edges.
The true face behind that headband was actually a basic black eye mask! The fabric covering the eyes even had the four words "Overbearing Aura" written on it in a childish way.
Xiao Ye blindfolded herself and groped her way forward in the darkness. However, the erosion of her consciousness was unaffected by her ability to see; involuntarily, Xiao Ye began waving her flashlight, trying to defeat the monster in the darkness…
No, this can't go on! Sooner or later she'll throw that life-saving demolition certificate away!
Xiao Ye dropped a flashlight—it flew to the ground, still intact. She folded the demolition certificate, held it tightly in her hand, and then put her hand in her pocket. Suddenly, she touched a piece of paper in her pocket.
It was her entry ticket for the astronomy competition.
It was for this thing that she stepped onto this street of no return...
Xiao Ye opened her mouth.
Suddenly, she remembered everything she had fought for.
"The rain on planet OGLE-TR-56b is molten iron; planet Wasp 18b is falling, and in a million years, it will crash into its parent star—this is just a fleeting moment in the universe..."
Countless astronomical facts flowed from her lips, and although Ye Xiaochu's steps remained unsteady, a new, unyielding spirit gradually emerged. Her parents, both astronomy enthusiasts, perished in a mudslide while stargazing. She too would follow in their footsteps—
"The temperature difference between the two sides of Upsilon Andromedae B exceeds 1,000 degrees Celsius, and it took Voyager 1 35 years to reach the outer reaches of Pluto..."
Her voice grew louder and louder, echoing through the empty street. She was a top student, and as she recited this knowledge, she felt invincible. She loudly recited everything known in the universe, and she would use her young life to explore everything unknown in the universe.
Happiness Street roared, within its own rules, using every means to try and crush this ant-like life. But it ultimately failed. The ant finally sprinted to the entrance of the pedestrian street, to the bulletin board.
Ye Xiaochu, with a blank smile, pulled out a bag of "honest and trustworthy" tape she had bought at the stationery store from her pocket...
The scene before my eyes suddenly changed.
The vast and endless universe.
The stars are dazzling, and the Milky Way flows.
In the azure night sky, countless stars and planets intertwine and shimmer. The eternal sun, in this river of stars, is but a faint, indistinct dot. Countless stars and planets explode, perish, fall, and are swallowed by black holes; countless planets are born, grow, and rise. Billions upon billions of years of glory are but a fleeting moment. Countless great civilizations, once the pride of intelligent beings, are nothing more than a mournful cry before this sea of stars.
A fleeting moment in the vast universe.
Ye Xiaochu stood in this universe at this moment. How tiny her figure was amidst this colossal entity!
"Stay, isn't this the happiness you've been looking for?"
The unknown entity spoke in a seductive tone.
It will fulfill your dreams and immerse you in boundless happiness. You will be happy forever. Whether you understand, agree, or can bear it, you will be happy forever.
After a long period of unfocused gaze, Xiao Ye's eyes focused. She reached out, trying to touch the endless sea.
It watched. As long as this ant touched that starry sky and conceived the idea of staying forever, the assimilation of Happiness Street would be complete. This little bug that had been giving it a headache would no longer be able to bother it.
Actually, it felt quite a pity.
