Chapter 4: The Origin of Monsters

"You must think I'm crazy and talking nonsense!"

He picked up a fruit knife and, under my gaze, lightly cut off the little finger of his left hand.

He didn't frown, that finger was like a rice stick, it didn't seem to belong to his body at all.

Pick up that little finger and poke it casually on the back of your hand, and the little finger magically grows on it.

Indeed, it grew on it, without a break, and the skin was connected, just as his hand was deformed, and his little finger was on the back of it.

Then, that little finger begins to atrophy and starts to get smaller.

Immediately afterward, the missing little finger suddenly grew back from its original position like a spring shoot.

The whole process, only two minutes, severed fingers, rebirth, is like a joke.

My heart also went to my throat, is this magic, or is it real?

"If you still don't believe me, I'll cut off this leg and show you how long it is?" the man's smile was bright, and the fruit knife circled around his left leg, and it had already cut a wound more than an inch deep.

"Don't, don't, I believe it!" It's terrifying, how can a person treat his body like this?

"In three million years, I have tried hundreds of life forms, and I have come close to death thousands of times. The man sighed and said, "I have been beheaded one hundred and seven times, fried in an oil pot sixteen times, and because I offended Xiang Yu, I was also boiled in Dading for three days and three nights." I've also been eaten by tigers, by sharks, by polar bears, by ants. ”

"Giggle...... "I'll admit that I'm starting to have my teeth chatter now because of fear.

"During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, I was hit by bullets 18 times, during the War of Liberation, I was directly hit by artillery shells 7 times, and I was crushed by tanks 4 times during the War of Aid to Korea. Even, for hundreds of years, I tied myself to a big rock and sank to the bottom of the sea. On eleven occasions, I was chopped into meat sauce by the enemy. ”

What he said was too bloody, but in this moment, I prefer to believe it is true.

"It's just an accident, it's an external cause. I've committed suicide a thousand times, and no fires, crashes, or jumping off buildings have helped. The man's expression was very sad, he looked at me with resentment, and said, "Do you know how painful it is for a person to not be able to die!"

Damn, you are immortal and will never die, you should be happy, why do you still burn the bag?

"You...... Why can't you die?"

"You've finally asked a valuable question. The man leaned back on the couch and said, "It starts with the origin of our creatures, from the moment of the birth of intelligent beings." ”

I couldn't help but lean forward, feeling like I should get to the bottom of it.

"About three million years ago, an alien spacecraft landed on Earth. "I didn't expect that person to be so sci-fi as soon as he opened his mouth.

I couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Does it have anything to do with aliens?"

"Listen to me tell you slowly. The man waved his hand to stop me from continuing, saying, "On this ship, there are hundreds of millions of wisdom seeds loaded on it, and from the moment it lands, it has begun to sow on the earth. This process lasted at least 50,000 years. ”

"First of all, a group of monkeys got infected, and they suddenly became intelligent and developed into humans. Other animals were also infected, such as tigers, lions, elephants, sharks, dolphins, jellyfish, butterflies, ants, and earthworms, and they became intelligent and developed into demons. ”

"Demon?" I was really speechless, what he said became more and more mysterious.

"In the beginning, humans and demons coexisted peacefully. But humans were the first creatures to be infected, and they grew in large numbers, gradually spreading across the globe. However, because of the wide variety of demons, a single breed cannot compete with humans. In the competition for survival, it gradually fell behind. And eventually, humans became the masters of the planet. ”

"Later, there was a war between humans and demons?" I've heard this explanation many times.

"Yes, it's a tragic battle for survival. The man smiled bitterly and said, "Some of these wars have been drowned in the long river of history, and some have been passed down as myths. For example, Nuwa was a snake demon back then, while Gonggong was a bull demon, and Chiyou was a black bear. ”

"And what kind of demon are you?"

According to this person, the great gods of Nuwa Gonggong Chiyou are all dead, but he is still alive and must be a high-level creature.

"Me?" said the man, with a pained expression on his face, "Unfortunately, the hostel I was attached to was the lighthouse jellyfish, and it was the only two wisdom seeds that were attached to the lighthouse jellyfish. ”

"Jellyfish?" is unfortunate indeed, because jellyfish are the lowest creatures I think humans can see.

"You may not know about the characteristics of lighthouse jellyfish, but you can look it up on the Internet if you have the chance. The man smiled wryly: "The lighthouse jellyfish is a particularly amazing creature, he can constantly repeat himself, constantly go through juvenile, middle and old age, in a sense, he is the only species in the world that can live forever." ”

"From the moment I became a jellyfish demon, my body has mutated, and all cells are capable of super regeneration. Even if it is just a cell, it will quickly revert to a complete individual, and still retain the original memory. ”

In order to show his super regeneration ability, this person suddenly picked up a knife and cut off a piece of meat weighing more than a pound from his thigh.

As I watched, his body was restored as quickly as if it had never been cut.

I understood a little because I remembered reading a popular science article about the world's longest-lived creatures.

The first in line is the lighthouse jellyfish.

"I've lived enough for three million years, so I'd like to ask you for a favor. ”

"How could it be me?" I was so frightened that I took a step back and said, "Immortality, it's too late for many people to envy you, why do you want to die?"

"If you lived for three million years, if you were on the verge of dying tens of millions of times, if you could dream every day in your sleep of your body being chopped up, fried, and burned, you wouldn't think like that. The man stood up suddenly, his expression very excited.

I trembled with fear and said, "But, but I can't kill you?" Didn't you say that your cells can be super regenerated, and I really can't help you!"

"No, you can!" the man strode towards me, with a happy smile on his face, and said, "You have the same blood flowing in your body as mine, and your cells have the same defects as mine, and I can finally expel that seed of wisdom from my body and plant it in you!"

"Come on, unlock your new abilities!" the man burst out laughing, grabbing my arm.
