    • Synopsis
    • TANG Zhijun, editor-in-chief of Space Exploration magazine, together with his fellows, went to investigate the collective sighting of an unidentified flying object in a village called Burning Nest, where a stone ball disappeared from the mouth of a stone lion.

      The person in question, SUN Yitong, a young man who speaks and acts strangely and has a talent in writing poems, claimed that he received instructions from aliens, saying that to retrieve the stone ball, they should head to Daliang Mountain.

      TANG’s team was suspicious, but until TANG witnessed the miracle of SUN’s prophecy, they decided to follow him and embarked on a long journey to a mine cave about to blast. After a drunken night, TANG was told the truth and saw a sight he had never seen before under the guide of SUN.
