Villa, living room.

When Yang Xi returned, she saw the boy sitting by the viewing window and asked in confusion, "You just killed them all like that?"

"Killing him is fine, so be it."

Wei Qingzhou didn't turn around, continuing to gaze at the darkness outside the window. "In the Cthulhu Apocalypse, mental pollution will amplify the evil in people's hearts countless times. Since they have been itching to act for a long time and the seeds of disaster have already been sown, we might as well strike first and eliminate them before the explosion. At the same time, we can also deter other people who are itching to act."

"These people dare to defy you today, they dare to betray you tomorrow, and they dare to commit murder and arson the day after tomorrow."

Yang Xi was stunned.

Is that...is that the logic?

However, she was still surprised by Wei Qingzhou's decisiveness in killing.

Are these the same classmates I used to attend classes with?

Everything seems to have changed.

"You say there's an undercurrent, then drain the water and see how the undercurrent flows!"

With that, the boy finally turned around, calm and collected yet with an undeniable sharpness and pride, and looked at the girl. Under the light of an energy-saving lamp in the living room, he revealed a smile: "How was it? Did you feel better?"

Yang Xi was stunned, then smiled broadly: "That feels better."

The person is dead, how can you not feel relieved?

Wei Qingzhou's expression turned serious, and he finally returned to the main topic, asking, "Now you can tell me in detail what exactly happened during this period, especially the origin of the anomaly!"

"good!"

Yang Xi, with a solemn expression, sat down opposite Wei Qingzhou and began to recount his memories:

"On the night of July 20th, the moon malfunctioned."

"Because I remembered you telling me not to look at the sky, I didn't dare to look up. It was only later, after hearing descriptions of the situation from several survivors, that I realized what had happened."

"They said the moon in the night sky was exceptionally bright, and then... it seemed to flip over; the shadowy side, which was never seen before, suddenly faced the blue planet!"

"The far side of the moon has flipped over?" Wei Qingzhou raised his eyebrows in surprise.

He certainly knew about the far side of the moon. Because of tidal locking, the moon always has one side facing away from Earth as it revolves around the planet. This is why people who have looked up at the moon for thousands of years have been unable to see the dark side, which has given rise to countless folk legends.

The shadowy side of the moon seems to be a synonym for mystery.

"That's right."

Yang Xi nodded and continued, "Immediately afterwards, a scarlet beam of light shot out from the far side of the moon and struck a part of the sky above Blue Star."

"The sky shattered like a mirror, and as the beam of light swept across it, it was torn apart, leaving a huge crack."

"Suddenly, eyes opened within the cracks—this is now the Celestial Abyss!"

So this is the origin of the Celestial Rift!

Wei Qingzhou's heart skipped a beat. A ripple suddenly appeared in the air before him, and lines of text quietly emerged:

The main quest "Investigate the Celestial Rift" has been completed.

[Quest Rewards: 10 Reincarnation Points, 10 Free Attribute Points]

Mission successfully completed!

However, Wei Qingzhou had no time to pay attention to the system pop-up; his mind was racing.

"The moon! It really is the moon!"

"The opening of the Celestial Rift is related to the moon."

"But this satellite is 380,000 kilometers away from Earth. Even if we took a lunar spaceship, it would take four or five days to get there. How can I possibly get there?"

The primary challenge facing Wei Qingzhou was no longer how to prevent the evil god from descending.

First, he has to go to the moon!

"It doesn't necessarily have to be me landing on the moon. We can contact the national leadership and ask them to take action, launch a probe, or even send people to the moon to investigate the far side."

"But China's manned lunar landing program will not be completed until 2030, and not just any spacecraft can land on the moon. Leaving Earth and landing on the moon are two completely different things. Historically, only the United States has succeeded in landing on the moon, with several consecutive moon landings between 1969 and 1972. For more than half a century since then, no one has set foot on that gray land."

After summarizing his findings, Wei Qingzhou concluded that landing on the moon within a month was as difficult as ascending to immortality.

He had just naively considered that the existing rockets could be modified into lunar spacecraft, or that the entire nation could pool its resources and give it a try, but he quickly dismissed the idea.

The national plan is to achieve a manned lunar landing by 2030. It is only 2026 now. To compress four years into one month and rush to build a lunar spacecraft, although there is a chance of success, the risk is too great and the chance is very slim.

The core challenges of manned lunar landing lie in five major system engineering bottlenecks: high-thrust launch vehicle, precise soft landing and autonomous takeoff on the lunar surface, rendezvous and docking in lunar orbit, re-entry and return at the second cosmic velocity, and survival support in the extreme lunar environment.

This is just the first hurdle.

After logging in, you need to find the anomaly point.

The thing that emits beams of light is definitely not out in the open.

Lunar exploration and excavation presents another major challenge.

If you're lucky enough to find an "anomaly," then what?

Blow it up?

"The far side of the moon has been explored before. Chang'e 4 made a soft landing on the far side of the moon, and Chang'e 6 also collected samples from the far side of the moon. It seems that nothing unusual was found."

"Every hurdle is difficult, but I'll overcome them all; I haven't figured out how to break this deadlock yet..."

"An iceberg? An iceberg! What are you thinking?"

Wei Qingzhou suddenly came to his senses and found Yang Xi standing in front of him, waving a hand in front of his eyes, looking puzzled.

"I wasn't thinking about anything." He gathered his thoughts.

"and you……"

Yang Xi's gaze darted left and right before she hesitantly asked, "What are your plans for the future?"

Wei Qingzhou chuckled and shook his head.

future?

The dungeon world has been invaded by an evil god. Humans are no match for the evil god, so what future is there to speak of?

This world has no future!

"The main quest is complete, and you can use the 'Return Scroll' to return to reality at any time, but before you leave, you should make the most of your time."

With a thought in mind, Wei Qingzhou opened the attribute panel and added all 10 free attribute points to [Agility].

"Sizzle"

A weak electric current rushed through his nerve reflex arc, stimulating the fast-twitch muscle fibers.

The cells in his body responsible for transmitting signals were like fiber optic cables replaced with ordinary network cables, doubling the speed.

Wei Qingzhou slightly moved his fingers and pondered silently: "The reaction time of an ordinary person is about 200 to 250 milliseconds, while top e-sports players can reach 120 to 160 milliseconds. My current [Agility] attribute is 24 points, and my reaction speed has surpassed that of top e-sports players, and is infinitely close to the reaction level of a cat."

"This means that no matter what I do, my reaction speed is faster than that of ordinary people."

He hopes the next instance will be the American West, where he can be a quick-draw gunslinger with a revolver at his waist, instantly killing anyone he sees and wreaking havoc.

After adding the points, Wei Qingzhou said to Yang Xi, "I haven't thought about the future yet. I plan to rest for a few days first, and then take it one step at a time."

"Oh, by the way, to thank you for the information, I'm going to treat you to a stargazing session."
