[Dear beta testers, please note that Parallel Paradise is about to launch its first phase of public beta. This time, the participating players in the public beta are all humans on Blue Star]

[Public beta countdown: 47:59:59]

Su Tingyu saw the last time, which really started on September 1st two days later.

[Dear players, please note that Parallel Park will be temporarily closed for two days. During this period, the player's panel system will not be open and available. We apologize for any inconvenience caused to you! 】

[Close countdown: 10, 9, 8...]

"Shut it down? Get a hammer?" Being woken up, Su Tingyu couldn't fall asleep for the time being.

If the panel system is shut down, will Lucifer who comes out be forced to go back?

Su Tingyu immediately jumped out of bed and opened the closet. Lucifer was sleeping comfortably on the small bed.

Su Tingyu looked at the panel again, but her expression was stunned: "Huh? Why did it stop?"

On the panel, the countdown stopped at the number "2", and there was no further movement for a long time.

Su Tingyu stretched out her hand tentatively, the interface was switched, and everything in the panel system was as normal.

"Hmm? What's going on?"

Su Tingyu switched to the player forum and found that except for the posts that had already been posted, it was all quiet and no new posts appeared.

"What...what happened?" Lucifer woke up in a daze. He was woken up by the guy in his head.

Su Tingyu subconsciously comforted her: "It's okay, just keep sleeping."

Lucifer looked at Su Tingyu for two seconds, as if to confirm, he said softly "Oh" and lay back on the small bed.

Su Tingyu gently closed the closet, but the doubts in her heart still existed.

Didn't you say turn off the panel?

Why hasn't my panel been closed yet?

Will other people's panels be like this?

"I'm going to ask Fatty. He should have been woken up by now." Su Tingyu had just picked up the phone and was about to dial Fatty's mobile number, when the latter had already called him first.

Su Tingyu answered the call and heard Fatty's voice.

"Boss! Did you see the announcement on the panel?"

"I see, your panel can't be opened now?"

"Yes, but that doesn't matter. What matters is what's outside! Boss! Go and look at the sky...the sky..." The fat man's voice was rough, as if he had been hit by some huge blow.

"In the sky?" Su Tingyu suddenly felt curious. She opened the curtains, opened the floor-to-ceiling windows, and walked out.

Su Tingyu raised her head to look at the sky. The next second, a look of deep astonishment appeared in her eyes.

She murmured: "What is this?"

——At this moment.

Above the sky like splashing ink, a bright moon hangs high in the sky.

Through the silver light cast by the bright moon, Su Tingyu could clearly see the huge black towers with triangular pointed characters standing in the sky, hanging without falling.

There are countless tall towers visible to the naked eye, from far to near, stretching to the sky.

"Mom, what is that?"

"Holy crap! What is that in the sky? A projection? Who is making a movie?"

"Hey, hey, hey! Are you a demon? I'm reporting someone who is disturbing the residents late at night! They are casting a projection in the sky..."

"..."

All over the world, both those who are not sleeping in the night time zone and those who are active in the day time zone are gradually discovering the giant triangular spires in the sky.

Some were confused, some were surprised, some were panicked, some took out their mobile phones to take pictures... There is no doubt that it caused a global sensation!!

"...Boss? Boss? Are you still there?"

The fat man's shout came to his ears, which made Su Tingyu come back to his senses.

"I'm here." Su Tingyu responded. She remembered the panel and then asked, "Fat man, can't you open the panel now?"

"Yes, boss, all player panels cannot be opened now..."

Hearing this, Su Tingyu blinked his big eyes, and with a thought, his panel popped up again.

My panel is still not closed.

Are all players closed?

What about her?

"Boss, aren't all the things in the sky caused by games?" the fat man asked.

Su Tingyu pondered for a moment and replied: "The panel has just been announced to be closed, and the countdown to the open beta has begun, and those triangular spires outside have appeared... Maybe there is some connection between them."

"Then this..."

"It's okay, aren't there still two days left? And we are internal beta players, so we have an advantage over other people who don't know." Su Tingyu said with relief, hearing the worry in the fat man's words.

"Yeah, I understand, boss..."

"Hang up now. I'll go find you after I finish my work tomorrow."

"good."

"..."

The call ends.

A gust of night wind blew by, and Su Tingyu, who was only wearing short-sleeved pajamas, couldn't help but rub his arms and muttered: "Hey, why do you feel so cold..."

Temperature drops?

etc……

Su Tingyu realized something was wrong and quickly went back to the house to find the thermometer.

——21℃

Su Tingyu's eyes suddenly widened: "How is that possible! This is the magical city in August!"

This kind of temperature only occurs in spring and autumn at most, but now, it is still a hot summer...

Severe heat?

It seems to have been too cool these days, and Su Tingyu almost forgot that it was summer.

Not normal! This is not normal!

Su Tingyu placed the thermometer on the bedside table without taking it back. She stared at the temperature number displayed on it and thought to herself: "Tomorrow... Xiao Yuyu is coming, I must ask him for details!"

Su Tingyu lay back on the bed, tossed and turned for half an hour, and fell asleep again.

…

Three o'clock in the morning.

Kyoto.

Paranormal Research Institute.

Xie Puyu was having supper with a middle-aged man in his fifties or sixties.

Xie Puyu put down the bowl and chopsticks, looked at the person opposite, and said in a respectful tone: "Director Luo, it's time for all the staff of your research institute to evacuate."

Luo Min finished her supper and wiped her mouth with a tissue: "We have some important data on hand that need to be measured, but we only need one night and we can evacuate tomorrow."

"That's good."

The two held the bowls and chopsticks, threw them into the storage box, and then left the canteen area together and headed to the research room.

Luo Min: "During this period, I have worked hard on you and Shangguan girl to help us deal with complicated data."

"Fortunately, it's not hard."

"..."

As soon as the two people walked into the door of the research room, they came face to face with a researcher who looked panicked.

"Director! Oh no! There is an important discovery!" The researcher held a tablet in his hand and swiped the screen with his fingers, presenting the content on the tablet to the two of them:

"Temperatures are dropping all over the world! They are dropping by about 0.5°C every hour, and there is even snowfall in the Tohoku region. If the temperature drop does not stop, in two days, the whole country... no! The whole world will be affected.

Covered in ice and snow!”

"What? It's here so quickly..." Luo Min's expression instantly became solemn.

Although I received the news in advance, when the facts really appeared before my eyes, I was still shocked.

"This situation...could it be..." A bad guess suddenly emerged in Luo Min's mind:

"Not good! This is the fifth ice age that has been brought forward!"

As soon as these words came out, all the staff in the research room were shocked.
To be continued...
