Chapter 16 Stars On The Sky(16)

Hearing Zhai Chen’s intention to join the association, Aunt Xiong was very enthusiastic and decided to take him to the lecture in the afternoon: “We have classes every day, and you will know it’s good if you listen to it.”

“Brother Chen…” Yao Zi looked at Zhai Chen disapprovingly.

Zhai Chen squeezed his eyes at Yao Zi, and ate a sparerib again with a smile at Aunt Xiong. “That will be great. I have nothing to do today.”

After finishing the meal, the old lady was very happy to get ready to go out. He put the “textbook” in a neat bag, and went to the kitchen to pick up the morning fried snacks to share with the brothers and sisters in the association. Meanwhile, she sang:

[The planet orbits the star, the star orbits the Milky Way, the Milky Way orbits the universe, the universe orbits the gods. You and I are electronics, landing on this earth. ]

The lyrics are very neat, but with a tone of square dancing music, which sounded like “beating drum” rhythm. One can easily sing it quite fluently after listening to it twice.

“Brother Chen, I will go with my mother. This association sounded like pyramid marketing.” Yao Zi didn’t want to trouble Zhai Chen again because he already borrowed money from him.

“Are you serious?” Zhai Chen looked up and down at Yao ZI, “You had better no go there. The association will think you want to smash their filed and make troubles there.”

“So what? I’m not afraid of them.” Yao Zi patted on his sturdy biceps confidently.

“Go away!” Zhai Chen kicked him, “This is wisdom, do you understand?”

“Zhai Chen, let’s go.” Aunt Xiong changed her clothes, and carried a large bag of fried snacks, as if to go to an outing of primary school students. Zhai Chen responded to her, asked Yao Zi go back to work and went out with Aunt. Xiong.

The lecture building was not far from his home, which was a self-built dwelling. This house was much bigger than Yao Zi’s house. With four floors and more than a dozen of rooms, the house was built in cement covered with square edges. Each window had been installed with stainless steel security net. From a distance, it looked like a abandoned department building with its exterior unpainted, or an unlicensed hostel.

Aunt Xiong took him into the house, where they could directly see the inside room without a yard. The first floor was the look of a normal household, with old sofa tables, chairs and cheap orange tiles. There was a child eating popsicles on the sofa with a runny nose and dusty feet. The poor quality ice-popsicles dyed with food pigment were dropping on her clothes. She wiped them with her hands.

Seeing someone come in, the child didn’t raise her eyes and still kept watching TV. Upstairs there was loud music, so they can’t clearly hear the sound of the TV. The girl didn’t care and still watch TV. Aunt Xiong took out a crispy bone from the plastic bag and handed it to the child, helping her clean up the toys she had dropped on the ground. Zhai Chen was very curious about it so that he went to the second floor first.

The second floor was much more lively, with many men and women, whether old and young, circling a table in the middle of the room and dancing to the music. It’s the “beat-up” brainwashing music. They danced with twisting and turning, which looked even more complicated than a square dancing. Zhai Chen even had the illusion of watching zombies dancing after he passed all the levels of the zombies fighting game.

Suddenly, the music in the room stopped and everyone looked at Zhai Chen as if zombies smelled the human beings. Zhai Chen subconsciously clutched his backpack belt, and almost took out the oxygen cylinder to burst them.

“What are you doing here?” Several men approached slowly, and their expressions were full of alertness.

Zhai Chen relaxed his body to look confident, raised his jaw, and still stood casually. “I’m here to listen to the class.”

“Are you a Xing Shi or Xing Yao?” A middle-aged man in his forties came over and looked up and down at Zhai Chen. He looked like a fellow man because of his free tone and calm momentum.

The celestial association was highly hierarchical. The common believer’s name was Xing Yao, which meant making the stars shine again. The higher-level responsible person was called Xing Shi, who was responsible for spreading the fire seeds, and occasionally went to other responsible person’s territory to exchange visits. Therefore there was a difference between Xing Yao and Xing Shi. But Zhai Chen knew nothing about this!

He stopped for a moment, and firmly reported his game grade: “Xing Yao of second-level!”

“…”

“…”

There was a strange silence in the room, and then everyone came toward this way.

“He’s my nephew and I brought him here to listen to the class. He is not in good health and hopes to be blessed by the gods.” Aunt Xiong appeared on time to avoid the tragedy of Zhai Chen engulfed by a room of zombies. As soon as the words ended, the atmosphere in the room was suddenly restored.

“It turns out to be a new companion.” The middle-aged uncle smiled and pulled Zhai Chen into the room. The others greeted him, and everyone looked very close.

“This is an astro-science seminar, and we’re talking about scientific principles. It’s also good for young people to learn some celestial knowledge. But it’s ok if you can’t understand it.” They explained enthusiastically to Zhai Chen to introduce the preliminary knowledge one after another.

“Come here, we will first calculate your past life so that we can preach according to your destiny.” The man pulled Zhai Chen to another room directly, like taking him to see the flower mother urgently.

There was a curtain in the little room, and there was only something like a street-gaming machine in the dark. The screen looked very strange. The man let him type into his own name and age so that the “sky eye” can check his past life.

“…” Usually religions predicted one’s destiny by touching face bones or drawing lots and divination. But he had never seen a destiny could be foreseen by a machine. It was just like the little game that was popular several decades ago, where you can just type into your name and you will know your marriage destiny. How can this be used to cheat people?”

Zhai Chen looked around at the machine and typed into his game nickname, Oxygen Superman. The screen went black for a while, which seemed to search for the answer dating back to five thousand years ago to find the destiny of this “oxygen superman” guy. Was he a respectful emperor or poor farmer? After five seconds, the results were shown on the screen.

[You were a valiant and combatant general in your past life. Those who had been killed by you will entangle you all the time because of their hatred and anger for you. Therefore, you are not successful in your job and have a weak body in your current life.]

“Isn’t it a scientific research? How can there be a previous life?” Zhai Chen almost cannot help laughing, pinched his thighs to keep serious about the answer.

“Don’t worry, young man.” The man took him out. The seats had been arranged outside, with a large wall calendar hung on the moving blackboard. Everyone including the Aunt Xiong sat straightly and pulled out the textbook made by straw paper. Zhai Chen also got a free copy, took it over carefully, and listened to them carelessly.

The first page was a diagram of electrons and atoms. The man cleared his throat and began his class.

According to him, when a person died, his or her soul became an active electron, flying to the ionosphere and reflecting back. Traditionally this was called reincarnation. When the clustered electrons broke down, memories would disappear, but sometimes they may not disappear. He gave an example. A Scottish girl, born in the Gulf of Aden, remembered a missing stone and her neighbor’s name in front of her door and said she died in a fire in her past life. Then the reporter went to investigate that 30 years ago there was indeed a woman who died in a fire, and she what said about the stones and neighbors were all proved to be correct.

Zhai Chen checked on the Internet to check, and found there was indeed such piece of news. But this news appeared when the Internet was not regulated quite a few years ago. At that time, a lot of rumors were created and this kind of one was very commonly seen. There were more than ten rumors about past life and current life, which was not rare.

The middle-aged man turned the calendar over a page to reveal a simulation of the solar system’s nine-star bead.

“These can all be explained by science. There are gods in the universe that control everything. We all know that the solar system has nine planets, and each of them have their own orbits. But in 1999, the nine stars were connected to one line. Nine-star bead is very dangerous, because the strong magnetic field will be powerful enough to destroy the earth, trigger floods, and break the land. At this time, the merciful God decreed, and sent mankind the holy tool to spare us from evil.

The third picture of the calendar, which was exactly the photograph of the shooting star at Star·J’s exhibition. It was obviously shoot in front of the original photo because there was even the photo frame in that calendar.

The holy tool shattered the nine-star bead’s magnetic field, allowing the earth to survive. This day was called “redemption day.” And this magic tool was the meteorite in the museum of province.

“… Is it so magic?” Zhai Chen clapped his hands shockingly.

Then everybody clapped together, and somehow someone played the music. Everyone began to sing.

[The planet orbits the star, the star orbits the Milky Way, the Milky Way orbits the universe, the universe orbits the gods. You and I are electronics, landing this earth. Ura! Ura!]

After singing, they all opened their hands and shouted “ura “.

In the evening, Zhai Chen went back home with a free small book and all kinds of free small gifts. He stayed in the living room for half an hour, and then came to sober mind out of the magic slogan “Ura”

Fang Chuyang came back tiredly, and saw Zhai Chen lying on the sofa casually with his feet touching a small textbook. He slowly walked near him and took up the small book immediately. Then he saw the slogan of the coin-sized Star Heresy. He was driven madly.

Zhai Chen did not have time to explain, and his collar was grabbed up by Fang Chuyang.

“Zhai Chen! What did I tell you yesterday, huh? Don’t evolve in this, just don’t! What the hell are you doing!” Fang Chuyang clutched his collar and swung back and forth, hoping to shake the brain water out of his head.

“Don’t do this!” Zhai Chen, who didn’t take oxygen, couldn’t beat down the police officer Fang Chuayng. He was dazzled in the eyes and had to surrender to him. “I didn’t plan involve in this matter. It’s just Yao Zi’ mother…” Before finishing his words, Zhai Chen was thrown back to the sofa without any mercy. He used his hands to support his body and fortunately avoid the tragedy of concussion.

Fang Chuayang threw his coat on the sofa, stared at him with a pair of blood-stained eyes, and gnashed his teeth, saying, “Do you know how disgusting this heresy is? And do you know what kind of means they use to punish the betrayers? Even if you are three times stronger than them, you will still fail to resist hundreds of them! It’s nothing if you and I die, but what about Mengmeng? How can you face Zhai Xiyue if Mengmeng is threatened?”
