Cover the sky - Chapter 4
Chapter 4 Ancient Bronze Engraving
The night had already fallen, neon lights flickered on both sides of the road, and the city at night still exuded endless vitality, with skyscrapers standing side by side and rising into the sky.
But if you look down from space, all of this seems insignificant, just an inch of land.
This is an extremely unusual night, destined to be difficult to calm down. Dozens of main monitoring rooms on the ground are completely locked on the dark sky.
In the desolate universe, nine dragon corpses are shining with a cold metallic luster, and their bodies are covered with black scales the size of a cattail leaf fan, with dots of black light.
Dragons, legendary existences, should not appear in the world at all, but at this moment they are really across the sky.
The picture captured from the dark space is shocking and daunting. The huge dragon horns are like forked ancient trees, with both power and mystery. The body is like a mountain, strong and powerful, and the scales are like blades, shining with cold light, looking majestic.
The nine huge lifeless corpses are a huge impact on human cognition, subverting some of people’s inherent concepts.

“Ye Fan, how has your life been over the past three years?” Many people were concerned about Ye Fan and asked him with concern.
“It’s OK. My life is very ordinary. Nothing special has happened in the past three years…”
Just then, the people at Liu Yunzhi’s table came over to toast and said a lot of toasts. Everyone clinked glasses again and again, which was very lively.
Those who had said they would punish Ye Fan earlier did not clink glasses with him alone until Lin Jia and Wang Ziwen came one after another and drank a glass with Ye Fan alone.
Later, many people were drunk, and then everyone went to karaoke. The singing seemed to bring everyone back to their youthful student days.
“How many people have admired your youthful face, but who is willing to bear the ruthless changes of time? How many people have come and gone by your side, but I will be with you for the rest of my life…”
Perhaps because they were really drunk, a pair of classmates who had fallen in love in their student days and had to break up with graduation looked at each other in silence.
As the singing echoed, the female classmate actually lost control, her eyes blurred with tears, and she burst into tears. Everyone tried to persuade her.
Due to various reasons, none of the couples among the classmates could make it to the end after graduation. Although they had carefully managed that campus love, in the end, none of them had any results.
Graduation means breaking up. This may be a curse. Every year, college graduates always stage the same tragedy.
Unfortunately, this tragedy is likely to continue for a long time. It is related to the impulse of youth, the pressure of employment, the current social situation… or perhaps other things.
Almost everyone chose songs from three years ago. Some people sang with passion and emotion, pulling everyone’s thoughts back to three years ago. The scenes and piles of student days are still vivid.
Finally, the “microphone tyrant” appeared. The drunken classmate occupied the microphone for a long time, but the sound was really unflattering. It can be said that the sky collapsed and the earth cracked, and the ghosts cried and the gods howled. While destroying everyone’s ears, it also brought a joyful atmosphere and made people laugh. It was not
until very late that everyone left the Sea Moon City. There will be activities tomorrow, and they will go back to their alma mater to take a look.
Almost all the students who came from afar booked the same hotel, and a few students who had cars were responsible for sending them there.
“Lin Jia, I’ll take you back to the hotel.” Liu Yunzhi parked the Toyota next to Lin Jia.
Some other students wanted to take a taxi, but the seats in the cars next to them were really limited, so they were too embarrassed to take the initiative to get into Liu Yunzhi’s car.
At this time, a Mercedes-Benz car stopped by the roadside. Ye Fan got out of the car and came to the haggard female classmate and said, “I’ll take you back.”
Ye Fan felt sympathy for this female classmate. In college, she was a happy and simple girl who liked to cheer for her classmates outside the football field, and sometimes she would shyly give them a few bottles of mineral water.
But now the unsatisfactory life makes her look very depressed, pale, and very bad. She rarely speaks all night.
At this moment, she suddenly saw Ye Fan parked on the side of the road and asked her to get in the car. She was immediately grateful and at a loss. She had not been noticed by anyone all night, and at this moment, she seemed unaccustomed to being stared at by the classmates around her.
On the other side, Liu Yunzhi saw Ye Fan driving over, and his expression was stunned, and then his expression suddenly became gloomy.
Around, everyone had different expressions, some were confused and puzzled, some were surprised and complicated.
Everyone looked at Liu Yunzhi intentionally or unintentionally, and the facts they saw were completely different from what he said.
At this moment, Liu Yunzhi felt his face burning, as if he had been slapped hard.
The classmates who had “preached” to Ye Fan in a high-profile manner also felt extremely embarrassed. They wanted to say something, but didn’t know how to start.
There were also a few people who showed playful and strange looks, especially those who had toasted with Ye Fan at the same table, who seemed to think that such a scene had frustrated the face of Liu Yunzhi’s small group.
At this time, the other two came over, opened the car door and sat in. They were classmates who were familiar with Ye Fan.
The Mercedes-Benz car carrying several people had gradually gone away, and many people had not yet come back to their senses. Liu Yunzhi’s body was stiff. Facing the strange looks of everyone, he felt like a thorn in his back…
At this moment, in the distant space, in the International Space Station orbiting the earth, several astronauts looked stern, their nerves were always in a tense state, and they could be said to be extremely nervous.
In the dark and cold space, nine huge dragon corpses seemed to have existed for eternity. Iron chains as thick as bowls stretched across the sky, connecting to a huge bronze coffin, making people feel endless desolation and longevity.
The decision-makers on the ground had already agreed that if a major incident occurred, the nine dragon corpses and the mysterious ancient bronze coffin would be destroyed immediately.
But no one wanted this to happen.
The nine dragons pulling the coffin, coming from the depths of the dark and desolate universe, had too much value and significance to be estimated!
Suddenly, the main monitoring room in the International Space Station captured a set of mysterious signals, which were some unusual fluctuations. The target source was close at hand, and it was the huge bronze coffin pulled by the nine dragon corpses. There were mysterious fluctuations coming from the ancient and vague patterns on it.
“It’s hard to crack…” The signal was transmitted back to the ground and deciphered by the most sophisticated supercomputer, but still no clues could be made.
The ancient patterns on the bronze coffin were covered with verdigris rust, making it difficult to see them all.
“After preliminary analysis, those bronze carvings are related to ancient Chinese legends.” Monitoring rooms in various countries unanimously came to a similar conclusion: “The animal carvings on the giant bronze coffin are similar to some ancient ferocious beasts recorded in China’s “Classic of Mountains and Seas”, and the figures in the bronze patterns are suspected to be gods…”
Although the origins of some of the bronze carvings were identified, the extremely weak mysterious signal still could not be deciphered, and there was no clue at all.
