The three investigators were respectively the Black-clothed Guard Li Qingshan, the Mysterious Bureau’s "Smith," and the renowned Divination Master "Jenny."
Choosing these three naturally had deeper reasons.
"Ga" anchored characters, where two of them ran off to an otherworldly realm, leaving only Li Qingshan behind on Earth, were now apt to co in handy.
Sending him to the Moon was also a way of signifying to the "Ga": sothing’s up with the Moon, don’t overlook it!
The two foreign investigators included the Mysterious Bureau’s old acquaintance "Smith," the one who was intent on trying intestine sashimi.
In "Binge Eating Heaven," he may have made contact with the "Ga" and was similarly arranged to make an appearance.
The last spot was for the famous Divination Master Jenny, who perhaps could glean so information from the Moon.
With this, a total of five people were brought together.
And so, the grand Moon inspection mission explosively unfolded!
...
...
...
This day, world-level big news erupted!
Nurous astronomy enthusiasts simultaneously observed a grand celestial event: a Moon earthquake caused countless dust particles, creating an enormous vortex enveloping the entire Moon.
Even the sunlight reflected by these particles, fleetingly outlined an image of an egg in human’s vision.
The Moon... turned into an egg?!
"Extra, extra! Moon undergoes catastrophic quake, an apocalyptic scene unfolds!"
"Moon’s cracked teorites to strike Earth, the sixth mass extinction is about to comnce!"
"The core of the Moon is incubating a terrifying creature... Godzilla!"
"Cultivators are devouring the Moon..."
"Earth is in peril!"
The Moon’s anomalies quickly turned into a mania in human society.
All sorts of rumors proliferated like snowflakes.
Indeed, nobody really cared about the end of the world; people were just looking for entertainnt, and clickbait headlines filled every corner of the internet within minutes.
With such an obvious astronomical phenonon visible to the naked eye, it was extrely difficult to cover up at the level of public discourse.
Thus, governnt departnts around the country generally adopted a policy of lax control rather than repression.
The International Astronomical Organization declared swiftly, "Stepping into Science: A massive teorite struck the far side of the Moon, triggering the earthquake. The Moon appears blurry because of the imnse dust on its surface. Under the influence of Moon’s gravity, in a few years, this floating dust will settle back down, and the Moon will return to normal."
After all, the Moon’s earthquakes didn’t affect societal operations, and the fervor would soon subside.
But many doomsday enthusiasts began a doomsday revelry, claiming "How could an earthquake turn the Moon into an egg?"
"That is an egg, incubating a terrifying creature inside!"
So astronomy enthusiasts tirelessly observed the Moon, sharing various high-definition photos all over the internet.
The movent trajectories of the dust were indeed visible and confird it was not an "egg." Yet, so captured images of a large shadow moving within the dust.
For "unknown" reasons, the spread of these photos resulted in countless QQ, WeChat, Bluebird accounts, Facebook, LINE, and others getting banned.
...
Wang Hao was naturally relishing the drama.
Whether it was evening news or the internet, even certain casual online gas were discussing the matter.
The news anchor, with her professional voice, said, "The International Astronomical Organization has announced that if this teorite had hit Earth, it would have resulted in casualties of 7 billion people! An extinction event comparable to the dinosaurs’!"
"Earth was spared disaster thanks to the Moon’s protection!"
Wang Hao couldn’t help but exclaim, "Really? 7 billion dead? That’s truly terrifying."
"Was there no prior observation of this sudden teorite? That’s strange..." Han Xiaoyue was sitting on the couch watching the TV, her head drooping as she murmured, "Don’t we have so kind of hydrogen bomb defense system?"
Her bright eyes occasionally glanced towards the ceiling, in the direction of the Moon, her face revealing a faint smile, as if she was waiting for a good show to unfold.
Wang Hao casually replied, "They must have calculated that it would hit the Moon, so they didn’t announce it."
But he didn’t take it to heart.
Since nothing actually happened, it just beca post-dinner conversation.
Even so, this incident would beco classic fodder for sci-fi movies, gas, and novels.
Picking up his phone, he glanced at the QQ group and found that "Earth Era" and "Kunlun Mountain," which he once joined, had been banned for spreading harmonious images - such bad luck!
Instead, "Saving the Multi-universe Group" had beco a lawless zone, where the jokers enthusiastically partook in the revelry, sharing all sorts of haphazard images.
"Done for, Chang’e has been smashed dead by the teorite, Wu Gang too, and the five-hundred-zhang tall osmanthus tree has been smashed to a pulp."
"The Heavenly Dog also perished. May there be no more sycophants in the world."
The group was bustling with activity.
Miss a minute, and you’d have 99 unread ssages.
[TheMostClumsyForever]: "How about a novel where the Moon falls? The falling Moon triggers a huge tsunami, and less than one in ten humans survive."
