82. She became a god
Chi Chuan finally understood why Ming Ke had such an expression.
Ability...... Can it still disappear?
Don't say he didn't expect it, so did Ikekawa. The old Hu next to him stared at him in surprise.
Almost at the same time, the three of them frowned and looked at the figure opposite:
An old man, with his back bent, his white hair on his scalp, couldn't hide the old wrinkles on his face in the night, he wore a rather old-fashioned dark coat with a stand-up collar on his upper body, straight-leg pants with a slight color difference on his lower body, and a pair of cloth shoes under his feet.
That's why he walked quietly.
There seemed to be a smile on his long, thin face.
It's just that because of the distance, it's hard to tell which one it belongs to.
"Old man, you've been following us for a while. Ming Ke spoke indifferently, and his hand had already touched a military dagger on the armed belt at his waist.
Ikekawa was ready to take out the Mret-P41 at any moment, as if he was facing a great enemy.
Just think about it, as soon as the other party appears, Mingke's ability disappears, and the problem is obvious.
Although it is a felony for civilians to possess firearms in a small town, let alone outsiders, he can't care so much about it in times of crisis.
This person is obviously quite difficult to deal with.
"Well, from outside the ballroom here. A low, magnetic voice came from him, not quite fitting his fading appearance.
"We don't seem to have a holiday, do we?" asked Minco in the same tone.
"No, no. β
"Then you ......"
"That's why I'm here. The other said, raising his right hand and holding something in his hand, "I have no ill will." β
As he spoke, he paced closer.
At this time, the three of Ikekawa saw each other's appearances clearly: a pair of faint eyebrows, eyes covered with crow's feet on one side, a straight nose bridge, slightly thin lips, and a boxy chin.
The face is actually quite kind, and there is indeed a smile on the corner of his mouth.
It's that kind of polite smile, not friendly, and not bad intentions.
Also visible is what he has in his hand: the outer packaging of a pair of shaped ring batteries.
Ikekawa had doubts.
"I met Ah Niu on the street before, he was in a hurry, I asked, he told me about the ballroom, and he showed me the contents of the backpack, and I noticed this. β
The old man, who was at least 70 years old, gradually restrained his smile and said seriously: "As far as I know, there is no such writing in the world. β
When he said this, he took a deep look at the three of Ikekawa and continued, "So I want to inquire where you got those things. β
That's it?
Ikekawa paused for a moment.
Just because of this, you lost Mingke's ability?
It's a big fuss.
"Old man, the world is very big, you haven't seen it, it doesn't mean that you don't. His tone was a little unkind.
"No, there is nothing in the world that I don't know, let alone this kind of text that can be printed on the packaging of goods. β
The other party shook his head and said: "I forgot to introduce myself to you, my name is Weng Si, before the end of the world, I was a professor of history at Binze Higher College, a first-class researcher at the Pulin Institute of History, and the executive vice president of the Alliance History Association." β
β......β
Fighting eagles all day long, I was finally pecked by an eagle, and I ran into a pedestrian.
This is probably the so-called academic giant.
It's unlikely that you'll get away with it.
"Old ...... Professor Wens, you are a capable person yourself, what's so strange about that?" Ikekawa said lightly.
"The Able?"
However, the other party's face showed a blank look, and he didn't understand it at all.
Well?
Chi Chuan raised his eyebrows, stretched out his hand to Ming Ke, and went straight to the point: "Didn't you make his ability disappear?"
"I ...... Take him ...... Ability...... I didn't!"
Wence was surprised, a strange look in his old yellow eyes.
Ikekawa looked at Minke, who stared at Weng's face without blinking, and after a moment, turned his head sideways and nodded lightly.
This means that in Minke's judgment, the other party is not lying.
That's a weird question!
For no reason, how could Ming Ke's ability disappear?
Are there ghosts?
"What is an ability?" Weng Si's eyes scanned the three of them, and finally fixed on Ming Ke, "Could he have any special abilities that are different from ordinary people?"
It seems that this old man really doesn't know anything.
"Nothing. After Chi Chuan glanced at him lightly, he took Yoyou and turned around and left.
The same goes for Lao Hu and Ming Ke.
"Eh, wait!"
Weng Si hurriedly caught up, blocked their way, and said with a serious face: "I know that some strange changes are taking place in this world, and many things have gone beyond scientific understanding and are difficult to understand, such as here. β
He said, pointing to the ground.
"I am an old man in the twilight of my life, and I don't have much time to live, but I hope to do my best in my life to solve some mysteries, and try to find a way out for humanity as much as possible, and not to be a human being in vain.
"I've seen special deviants, and the other party seems to have certain abilities, but this is the first time I've heard of normal humans having special abilities. Please tell me, it's very important for my research!"
After listening to his words, the three of Chi Chuan had different expressions.
Ming Ke was the first to stop his figure.
If what the other party says is true, in some way it belongs to the same kind of people as him.
"Have you ever seen a special mutant?" Ikekawa paused and looked up at the other party.
"Hmm!" Wence nodded vigorously, "not only have I seen it, but I have also secretly taken pictures, done a lot of research, and discovered some incredible things. β
"Oh?"
A glimmer of brilliance flashed in Chi Chuan's eyes, and he asked, "What does the special mutant you secretly photographed look like?"
"Long ......"
Weng Si raised his hands and raised his hands, as if he wanted to describe it with his body language while talking, but he paused as soon as he spoke, and changed his words: "Do you have time, you might as well come and sit with me, it is more intuitive to look at the photos directly, we can talk, I can tell you everything I know, and I also hope that you can tell me what you know." β
After thinking a little, Ikekawa bowed his head slightly, "Okay." β
The other party is a knowledgeable scholar, and if the special mutant he is talking about is similar to Youyou, and he has done research on this, then it is necessary to communicate.
Not to mention, he also said that he "discovered something unbelievable".
What exactly is it, Ikekawa is curious.
"Lao Hu, you go back first, I'm afraid that Anqin and they will be in a hurry. β
"Okay. Lao Hu nodded and left directly.
"This way, it's not very far. "Ons led the way, in the opposite direction.
Chi Chuan took Yo Yo by the hand and followed behind with Ming Ke.
Along the way, Ming Ke was obviously a little inattentive, and from time to time he raised his eyebrows slightly, obviously thinking about the fact that his ability had disappeared for no reason.
He could still mentally model all the parts of the Swig pistol and Reaper sniper rifle, but he just couldn't visualize them.
I don't know what went wrong.
"Here it is. β
It was not far away, and it turned out that the residence of Honce was on this street.
It's a first-floor shopβat least it used to be. On it hung a billboard with a variety of melons and fruits, with a string of characters in the center: Posey Specialty Agricultural Products.
Now there is a large sign framed on the right side of the roller shutter: Archives Department.
"I usually work here and live here. β
Weng Si took out the key to open the roller shutter and said, "I am mainly responsible for the household registration management and some necessary records in the town, and you should also know that there will be some newcomers here every once in a while." β
Crash!
The roller shutter was pushed up, and there was a glass door inside, and upon entering, it was a converted office of the shop, which was very empty, except for a desk facing the door.
"I can't turn on the lights at night without special circumstances, walk slowly and follow me. β
Weng Si seemed familiar and led the three of Ikekawa through the shop in front of them, through a metal security door, which turned out to be a room inside.
Out of nowhere, he found a candle and lit it, and the scene before him became clear.
With an area of about 30 square meters, there is a row of plastic shelves against the wall on the left side of the door, on which some corrugated boxes are neatly placed, which contain a copy of the information, occupying one-third of the gap.
On the left side against the wall is a small wooden bed with a white sheet, probably due to the weather, without a bedding.
Next to it is a red wardrobe with stripped paint.
There was a window opposite the doorway, ajar at the moment, and below it was a desk that was supposed to be a wood color, but now blackened, with stacks of books stacked in an orderly manner, and a few scattered materials.
There is a wooden-backed chair behind the desk and two iron-legged leather stools in front.
Wence came to the desk with the candle in his hand, and after motioning for Ikekawa and the others to sit down on the soft leather stool, he walked inside, first stood the white candle on the edge of the table, tore open the drawer in the middle, and took out a yellow file bag.
"Well, this is it. After opening the bag, he pulled out a palm-sized photo from it and handed it to the other side.
Chi Chuan raised his hand to take it, and Ming Ke subconsciously approached his head.
It is a color photograph, taken during the day, and although it is a long shot, the picture is clear.
In the background is a street full of messes, with only the windows and doors of a few shops on one side shattered, glass scattered to the floor, several cars rushing straight onto the sidewalk, and the asphalt pavement littered with bags, clothes and garbage.
The focus of the camera falls on a monster covered in black scale armor.
His arms were long and muscular, falling directly below his knees, and his palms were huge, ten fingers as long as chopsticks, and as thick as household hoses, with sharp black nails.
The legs are like two pillars, and the feet are very large, and their shape is similar to that of humans.
Behind him was a large stout tail, as thick as a sea bowl near the body, and the side eyes were the same length as the body.
The body shape refers to the cars and buildings next to it, it should be close to the three ropes, standing and walking, the facial features are distinct, and the scale armor is a human face when the scales are removed.
From the body structure, it can be seen that it is a woman, and there is a coldness in the brown pupils.
"You shouldn't suspect that she used to be a person, right?" Seeing Ikekawa and the others look up in shock, Wenz spoke at the right time.
Both shook their heads at the same time.
There is really nothing to doubt, the other party's female characteristics are very obvious, and the upper body with a relatively low degree of mutation can even be described as "beautiful arc".
"Where did you meet her, Purin?" asked Ikekawa, as the other party had mentioned before, and seemed to work in the state capital.
"It's not. β
Wence shook his head and said: "When the plague broke out, I was on a business trip in Langting City, and I found it over there, when I and a few survivors were planning to escape from the city, but as you know, it must not be so easy, a few days later, I met her, and I hid in a building in a hurry, and I took this photo from the window upstairs. β
Chikawa sighed, the city of Langting was the closest large city to here, and they had passed by on the intercontinental highway before.
"At that time, I was terrified, there had never been such a creature in history, and it was only after calming down and analyzing it later that I deduced that she was mutated from humans.
"And I've noticed that the atavists, who are crazy enough to attack any living creature, don't dare to approach her at all, and even take the initiative to avoid her, even if there are ten times more than a hundred times the number of them, like ...... There is a kind of coercion, which is more domineering than the kind of food chain suppression in nature.
"Then I came to my conclusion through all kinds of research. β
Wence paused at this point, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice, "She has become a god!"
