The Wanderer Chapter 9 Are You Still Recruiting?
Doubts mixed with absurdity turned into a sledgehammer and slammed into the chest of the rest of his life.
"Am I a god?" Although I already had a faint feeling in my heart, when the store manager really explained this matter thoroughly, the rest of my life was still a little unbelievable.
He can believe that there are special people in the world that are unimaginable to ordinary people, but when this special is transferred to him, it is not so simple to accept.
"It's just possible. The store manager corrected.
"The Heavenly Lock Elixir that was injected into you yesterday has two effects. When the concentration is high enough, this elixir can 'lock' the ability of the Yishen, that is, to temporarily neutralize the opponent's ability, so the Near-God Army named it 'Heavenly Lock'. As for the length of time of ability neutralization, it is related to the size and concentration of the dosage, and not only injection, but also inhalation of nebulized agents will also be tricked. Another effect is to make ordinary people lose memory, as for how long the memory will be lost, it is also related to the concentration and dose. The store manager explained, "So based on your performance of not having lost your memory after being injected by the Sky Lock, we think that you may indeed be a god without knowing it, or you may be in the time of ability awakening, but if this possibility becomes a reality, it will still be ...... waiting for you."
The store manager's words were not finished, but the rest of his life had already understood that the so-called Yishen brought them not only special abilities, but also special identities.
Once you become a god, you can no longer live like an ordinary person, even if you don't want to provoke right and wrong, but with such power, once exposed, there will always be covetousness and jealousy from all sides, no matter what the intermediate process experience, in the end, you still have to actively or passively choose a team.
Yu Sheng thought of those golden visions in the dark, and he knew in his heart that the possibility that the store manager said had become a reality.
"You're all gods, aren't you?"
"That's right," he spread his hands left and right, "fake one pays ten." ”
"Proof it to me. Yu Sheng calmed down again, he thought back to the conversation just now, and found that he had been led by the nose by the store manager, of course he knew that these people would probably die if they moved their fingers, there was no point in lying to him, but he still needed a reason to convince himself.
Then the store manager disappeared.
That's a real disappearance.
Yu Sheng only felt that the air around the store manager seemed to ripple, and the surrounding scenery twisted slightly, but before he could take a closer look, the store manager's body had already faded into this ripple, as if the diver had submerged under the water, and soon disappeared.
Yu Sheng blinked and was on the spot.
Left and right and the blacksmith glanced at each other, and the corners of their mouths invariably showed a smile.
"You ......," Yu Sheng shuddered, pointing to the empty chair in front of him, "...... Did you see that??"
"What do you see?" asked with a smile on his face.
"Chen Yan! store manager! he ...... He ...... "the rest of his life has been somewhat incoherent," he is gone!"
"Chen Yan?" looked left and right, and asked suspiciously, "Who is Chen Yan?"
The rest of his life was big, and he looked at the silent blacksmith, and if it weren't for the continuous banging on the table, he would almost doubt his eyes and head.
The light in front of Yu Sheng's eyes distorted a few times, outlining a human-shaped border, like flowing mercury.
Then, in the blink of an eye, the manager sat down in his chair again, fingering again and again, as if that moment had never happened, just an illusion for the rest of his life.
"That's my ability," said the store manager, "to distort light and hide myself in the world of light." ”
"It's ...... Impressed...... Yu Chang exhaled, "This ability is innate?"
"No, before the age of nineteen, I lived a life like all ordinary people," Chen Yan said, "and after the age of nineteen, it became like this." ”
The store manager didn't elaborate, but Yu Sheng understood the meaning of his words. At the age of nineteen, the store manager's life must have undergone some earth-shaking changes.
"None of the known Divine beings are born this way. For more than twenty years. The Near-Divine Army has been studying the Divine One, believing that this special ability is some kind of mutation of human blood, but there are also some people who privately believe that we are God-endowed. But no one has seen the transformation of the Gods, and the Gods themselves can't tell how they got the power. So your presence has an extraordinary meaning for us. The store manager's expression became very solemn, "We may have the first chance to observe the first appearance of the ability from you, so as to determine the true cause of the Divine One. ”
"Does this make sense to you guys?" said Yu Sheng with a wry smile.
"Yes," the blacksmith began, "for us, it's hope for survival. ”
"Survival, the Near-God Army is hunting you. Yu Sheng suddenly realized, "That Yushiro, and that fire man, they are both near the god army." But the Divine Army is a member of the military?"
"The Near-God Army belongs to the military, but it doesn't belong either. "More than twenty years ago, the empire discovered the first god of the empire, and soon after, General Luo, who had just pacified the rebels and became the god of the empire, accepted the order of the old emperor at that time to select a group of elites from the military and the empire to form a new army. This army is directly under the orders of the emperor and is specifically responsible for the affairs of the gods, and they are the closest to the gods, so they are called the near-god army. ”
"There are not only ordinary warriors and researchers in the Near-God Army, but also many Yishen who are willing to obey the orders of the Empire for various reasons. Moreover, it is not the Near-God Army that is chasing us, "the store manager corrects the rest of his life," it is the will of mankind. ”
"As for the Near-God Army?" sneered left and right, "they're just representatives of this will. ”
"But I thought ...... Only the Near-God Army is your enemy...... And since the Near-God Army is chasing down the Gods, then why are there Gods who are willing to join them...... "The rest of my life is confused."
"The Near-God Army is indeed our enemy," said the blacksmith, "and behind the Near-God Army is the Emperor, the Empire, and behind the Emperor and the Empire are thousands of ordinary people who fear the alien. ”
"Why do you think the Empire has been denying our existence?" said the store manager, "imagine that in some dark place that you can't see, in a corner you don't know, there is such a group of people: you don't know what they look like, you don't know whether they are good or evil, you just know that this group of people has unstoppable power, they can do things that ordinary people can never do, what will you do?"
"Worried...... Fear...... Fear of being hurt...... "thoughtfully for the rest of your life."
"That's why. The blacksmith said, "Since ancient times, when the gods are exalted, men have worshipped him, danced for him, and sacrificed to him; But if that high god really stepped into the world and could destroy humanity with a raised hand, then humanity would surely become afraid, because no one knew whether they would be punished by God. What's more, we are just a group of ordinary people, but we have unintentionally possessed the power of God, so how can the world of ordinary people accommodate us?"
Moreover, the greatest malice of human beings is selfishness, greed and jealousy, some students will be hated by their classmates when they get high scores, and a person who wins the lottery will have other people's eyes red and crazy, not to mention that when someone suddenly has god-like abilities. The shopkeeper smiled bitterly, "Also, if there is a god and his messenger in the world, then how should the imperial power be dealt with? The emperor will never allow anyone to override his authority." ”
The rest of his life couldn't speak for a long time, and the words of the blacksmith and the shopkeeper echoed in his mind like a bell.
Indeed, not to mention other people, even the rest of their lives, when they saw the power of the gods for the first time in the car, didn't they panic and couldn't help themselves?
The gods have the ability to spread their wings and fly, but in order to live, they can only bury themselves in the earth.
"As for the Yishen who joined the Near-God Army, like I said, in essence, our emotions are still ordinary people. So some people are for money, some are for privilege, and some people simply accept their own education from childhood to adulthood: loyalty to the emperor and the empire. The store manager said, "They're joining the Near-God Army." ”
"However, the fact that the Empire does not dare to admit our existence is not all bad for us," the blacksmith added, "which means that in order to keep a low profile, they cannot use all their power to find us and hunt us down, which leaves us with a gap to survive." Naturally, we will not take the initiative to break this tacit understanding, and we have maintained this fragile balance for so many years. ”
"It can only be said that the Near-God Army can't do anything else, and the Heavenly Lock Elixir that can erase the memories of ordinary people has always been easy to use. A joke was made left and right, but no one smiled.
The store manager stopped talking, and the four of them looked at each other without saying a word, only the voice outside the window came faintly.
Yu Sheng slightly moved his gaze to the floor-to-ceiling window, people and cars came and went outside, the blue sky was as beautiful as a huge oil painting, the golden sunlight made people warm all over the body, and the whole person's mood would be much calmer.
Just as he was separated from the street by a layer of glass, the rest of his life felt that his life was also divided, and outside the glass was the normal world he had really lived in, where it was calm and boring. On the other hand, the other side of glass is everything completely new that goes against all common sense and perception for the rest of life, like legends and myths. If it weren't for his own experience, it would have been hard to imagine for the rest of his life how the two worlds would be connected, and he had now left the glass side and stepped into the other side, a new world that was strange and mysterious to him.
Probably can't go back, Yu Sheng thought about it, but then he was relieved, his life had been completely changed since the day he left the second district more than ten days ago, and it had nothing to do with the Divine Warrior and the Near-God Army. And now that he thinks about it, that world is actually meaningless to him.
"It's a complete restart. Yu Sheng's gaze passed silently through the window, muttering to himself in a voice that only he could hear.
Left and right seemed to sense something, "What do you think of the rest of your life?"
Yu Sheng retracted his gaze, swept over the three of them one by one, and finally landed on the store manager's face.
"What are you going to think of me? There's no lab or unraveling table waiting for me, right?"
The store manager tilted his head slightly, shook his head and smiled, "Of course not." To be honest, we don't know, we can only eat and live together, maybe someone will be with you at any time, observe your changes, and probably let you try to feel your abilities and use your abilities. ”
"What if I find out in the end that I don't have what you call it?" asked Yu Sheng.
"Then we're wrong, but we're probably not going to let you go. The store manager spread his hands, looking helpless, but very frankly, "Unless you die, or we have a chance to get enough 'Sky Locks' and erase your memories of all this." ”
"I really don't recommend what he said. The blacksmith stretched and leaned back in his chair, "We don't know how many reagents it will take to erase your memories, and if we do, you'll probably become a fool." ”
"But I don't have a choice, do I?" Yu Sheng smiled, the sunlight outside the window was a little harsh.
The options in front of him were so obvious that he thought for a moment, and then finally made up his mind.
"Then the store manager," Yu Sheng put away his smile and asked very seriously, "Do you still recruit people?
Grinning left and right, revealing a mouthful of neat white teeth.
"I like this guy. ”
