Chapter 4: The Ancient Bronze Inscriptions

Everyone, whether intentionally or unintentionally, looked towards Liu Yunzhi, as the reality before them was completely different from what he had described

Graduation inevitably signifies separation, which may be a kind of curse, as every year, college graduates reenact the same tragedy

Suddenly, the main control room of the International Space Station captured a set of mysterious signals, which were some unusual fluctuations. The source of the target was close at hand, specifically the bronze giant coffin being pulled by nine dragon corpses, from which mysterious waves emanated from the ancient and obscure patterns on its surface

Those who had previously mentioned punishing Ye Fan did not approach him for a toast individually. It was only later that Lin Jia and Wang Ziwen came over one after another, each having a drink with Ye Fan privately

Students who have come from afar have mostly booked the same hotel, while a few students with cars will be responsible for driving them there

The nine enormous lifeless bodies represent a tremendous shock to human cognition, overturning certain ingrained beliefs held by people

Almost everyone chose songs from three years ago, and some sang with great emotion, drawing everyone's thoughts back to that time, with scenes and events from student days still vivid in memory

This is an exceptionally unusual night, destined to be anything but calm, as dozens of main monitoring rooms on the ground are completely locked onto the pitch-black sky

"Lin Jia, I will take you back to the hotel." Liu Yunzhi parked the Toyota next to Lin Jia

The ground decision-making level has long since determined that if a significant change occurs, the nine dragon corpses and the mysterious bronze ancient coffin will be immediately destroyed

Due to various reasons, none of the couples among the classmates after graduation were able to last, even though they had all carefully nurtured their campus romances; ultimately, none of them yielded any results

Finally, the "microphone tyrant" appeared. The inebriated classmate monopolized the microphone for an extended period, but the sound was truly uncomplimentary, akin to a cataclysmic disaster, a wailing that could awaken the dead. While it tormented everyone's ears, it also brought about a joyful atmosphere, causing everyone to burst into laughter.

It's okay, my life is quite ordinary, and nothing particularly special has happened in the past three years

"How has your life been over the past three years, Ye Fan?" Many people expressed their concern for Ye Fan, asking with genuine interest.

Some other classmates wanted to take a taxi, but the seats in the nearby cars were indeed limited and filled with books, making it awkward to take the initiative to sit in Liu Yunzhi and others' car

At that moment, the people at Liu Yunzhi's table came over to offer a toast, saying numerous well-wishing words. Everyone clinked glasses repeatedly, creating a lively atmosphere

On the other side, Liu Yunzhi saw Ye Fan driving over, his expression one of astonishment, which was soon replaced by a sullen demeanor

At this moment, in the distant expanse of space, aboard the International Space Station orbiting the Earth, several astronauts display serious expressions, their nerves perpetually on edge, one could say they are in a state of extreme tension

Until late, the crowd finally left the City of Bright Moon on the Sea. There will be activities tomorrow, and I will return to my alma mater to take a look.

The value and significance of the Nine Dragons Coffin, originating from the depths of darkness and desolation in the universe, are immense and difficult to quantify

However, no one wishes for such things to happen

In the dark and frigid expanse of space, nine massive dragon corpses seem to have existed since time immemorial. Iron chains, as thick as a bowl, stretch across the void, leading to a colossal bronze coffin, evoking a profound sense of desolation and antiquity

Difficult to decipher ... ... The signal was transmitted back to the ground, where it was decoded using the most advanced supercomputers, yet no clues could be unraveled.

At this moment, Liu Yunzhi felt a burning sensation on his face, as if he had been harshly slapped by someone with a book.

Yet when viewed from space, all of this appears insignificant, merely a small patch of land.

A small number of individuals also displayed expressions of amusement and peculiarity, particularly those who had once shared a table and raised their glasses with Ye Fan. They seemed to feel that such a scene undermined the dignity of Liu Yunzhi's small group.

At this moment, a Mercedes-Benz stopped by the roadside. Ye Fan got out of the car and approached the pale-faced female classmate, saying: "I will take you home."

At that moment, she suddenly saw Ye Fan parked by the roadside. When asked to get in the car, she felt both grateful and at a loss. Throughout the entire evening, she had not received any attention from others, and now it seemed she was unaccustomed to being observed by her classmates around her

The night has long since fallen, with neon lights flickering along both sides of the road. The urban landscape at night continues to exude boundless vitality, with skyscrapers standing in close succession, reaching high into the sky

However, the dissatisfaction with life has made her appear very gloomy, with a pale complexion and poor health, and she spoke very little throughout the entire evening

Around, the expressions of the crowd varied; some showed confusion and misunderstanding, while others displayed surprise and complexity

Perhaps it is because they are truly intoxicated, a pair of classmates who once fell in love during their student days and had to part ways reluctantly upon graduation, now look at each other in silence

The few classmates who had once lectured Ye Fan with an air of superiority also felt extremely awkward, wanting to say something but not knowing how to begin

The Mercedes-Benz, carrying several people, gradually moved away, while many were still in a daze. Liu Yunzhi felt stiff, and under the unusual gazes of the crowd, he felt as if he were being pricked by thorns

The ancient patterns on the bronze giant coffin are obscured by verdigris, making it difficult to see them all clearly

Preliminary analysis indicates that the bronze engravings are related to ancient Chinese legends. Monitoring rooms from various countries have reached a similar conclusion: the beast-shaped engravings on the bronze sarcophagus are reminiscent of certain ancient ferocious beasts recorded in the Chinese "Shan Hai Jing," while the figures depicted in the bronze patterns are suspected to be deities

Although some origins of the bronze inscriptions have been identified, the extremely faint mysterious signals remain unsolvable, leaving no clues whatsoever

At that moment, two other individuals approached, opened the car door, and took their seats inside. They were classmates of Ye Fan, with whom he was extremely familiar.

As the singing echoed, that female classmate unexpectedly lost control, her eyes filled with tears, and she began to cry out in anguish, prompting everyone to offer their comfort.

Captured from the dark expanse of space, the images are breathtaking and awe-inspiring. The enormous dragon horns resemble the forked branches of ancient trees, exuding both strength and mystery. Its body is like a mountain, robust and imposing, with scales that glisten like blades, radiating a cold light, presenting a grand and magnificent spectacle

The dragon, a legendary being, should not exist in this world; however, at this moment, it truly spans across the sky.

How many people have admired your youthful appearance, yet who is willing to endure the relentless changes of time? How many have come and gone by your side, yet who in this life will remain with you?

Unfortunately, this tragedy is likely to continue for a long time, related to youthful impulsiveness, employment pressure, and the current social situation... Perhaps there are other factors as well

In the desolate universe, nine dragon corpses shimmer with a metallic, cold luster, their bodies covered in black scales the size of fans, dotted with a dark sheen

Ye Fan felt a sense of sympathy for this female classmate. In university, she was a cheerful and innocent girl who enjoyed cheering for her classmates outside the soccer field, and at times, she would shyly offer them a few bottles of mineral water.

Later, many people became intoxicated, and then everyone went to sing karaoke, the melodies seemingly transporting them back to their youthful student days
