Part 1: The Hidden Shadow of Cora Chapter 9 The Awakening Ritual
Song Yuan's little dog legs ran more and more diligently, especially when he knew the scene when Chen Mo was awakening himself.
Chen Mo in self-awakening is still a person...... That's a "humanoid weapon"!
"Add more dishes and chopsticks. Stuart leaned against the kitchen door frame and said, Qi's short black hair was still a little wet, and he must have just gotten up.
"Why are you here?" Song Yuan kept the spatula in his hand, turned his head and asked.
"Take you and Chen Mo to the awakening ceremony today, and come over for a meal by the way. ”
"Do you want to participate in the awakening ceremony today?" Song Yuan was stunned.
After a brief meal, Stuart took Song Yuan and the others to a hut.
"After a while, Song Yuan, you awaken first, and then Chen Mo. Stuart brought a basket and said, "Wait a minute, you need to put all your electronics and metal stuff in this basket and lie down on that bed, understand?"
Song Yuan nodded, took out the key to the small courtyard from his trouser pocket and put it in the basket, he still had his mobile phone, but it seemed that he lost it when he was attacked.
"You still need to be clear before you awaken," Stuart bowed slightly, "In front of ordinary humans, it is forbidden to reveal the abilities you have, understand?"
Song Yuan hurriedly nodded and said that he fully understood, and he knew this without Stuart reminding him.
Everything was ready, Stuart motioned for Song Yuan to start, Song Yuan adjusted his breathing, walked into the cabin, lay flat on the bed, let the medical staff bind his limbs and neck, and connected the wires of the medical equipment to his body, and finally put something similar to a helmet on Song Yuan's head.
"Inject tranquilizers. The medical staff took a needle filled with blue liquid and injected it into Song Yuan's body.
"Take care of your breathing and try to keep yourself as calm as possible. Stuart's voice came to Song Yuan's ears through the loudspeaker in the cabin, "It may be a little painful at first, bear with it." ”
"Got it. ”
Stuart nodded at the medics, "Now, the awakening begins. ”
After receiving the order, the medical staff gently pushed the red push rod beside him, and the originally stable band on the screen suddenly became disorderly and restless, like a thousand snakes dancing wildly, dazzling.
A sharp sound exploded in Song Yuan's mind, followed by severe pain, Song Yuan subconsciously wanted to cover his head, but his limbs and neck were fixed by the straps, and he could only keep twisting his body.
"The reaction was strong. Inas looked at Song Yuan in pain through the one-way transparent glass, "When I chatted with him last night, he also said that he had no scars to ......."
Before Inas finished speaking, Song Yuan suddenly stopped writhing, and Stuart hurriedly looked down at the screen, and the band on the screen was slowly changing.
"What's the situation?" The medical staff were also a little overwhelmed, there was no problem with their operation process, according to past experience, Song Yuan's reaction should be more drastic now!
"Do you want to stop?" asked the paramedic after comparing the awakening process and making sure there were no problems.
"Observe again," Stuart shook his head, "he has a high percentage of demigod genes, not much worse than our ancestors, and his state is still manageable. ”
The pain disappeared, and Song Yuan slowly opened his eyes, finding himself in a deep passage, surrounded by endless darkness, and there was a faint light at the end of the passage.
Song Yuan's heart became inexplicably sad, tears dripped from the corners of his eyes, and he stretched out his arms and groped forward.
I don't know how long it took, but he finally came to the entrance of the passage and saw the scene in front of him.
He stood on top of a high mountain, the sky glowing with a blood-red glow that stained the whole world crimson, the earth cracking in the distance, hot magma gushing out, and huge statues sinking and drowning in magma.
He'd seen the sight, right on the plane!
If the last time he saw this scene was looking at a painting, now he is in the painting.
He looked up and saw scorching meteorites falling from the sky and smashing into the earth, one meteorite falling beside him, splashing black waste through his body and falling around.
Raising his eyes, his face was full of sores.
Song Yuan lowered his head and saw hundreds of corpses that had not yet been completely buried by the scorched earth, and countless evil birds were hovering above the corpses waiting to eat. In the distance, the shouts of battle were endless, and the yin wind was whistling and roaring, as if to awaken the souls that had long since died.
"The world is going to end....."
"yes, that's sad......"
"Self-righteous human beings......"
Song Yuan vaguely heard a few sighs, and when he wanted to hear them clearly, these voices gradually melted into the wind and drifted into the distance.
A feeling of weakness spread throughout his body, and Song Yuan shook a few times and fell from the top of the mountain.
Song Yuan opened his eyes suddenly, the clothes on his body were soaked with cold sweat, and the dazzling light shook his head dizzy.
"What happened? I feel like I've had a dream......" The medical staff untied the belt, and Song Yuan wiped the cold sweat from his head and entered the room.
"According to the records on the screen, you now have violent mood swings in the first minute, which is normal during the awakening process. But......" Stuart paused, "after a minute, your alpha wave gradually slows down and becomes smaller, and this process lasts for about ten minutes. Then your brain waves start to change irregularly for about 20 minutes, with frequencies and amplitudes, and then brain waves with larger amplitudes and lower frequencies. Eventually, your brain waves return to normal, just as they did when you were awake. ”
"What do you mean?"
"You slept and had a dream. Inas rolled her eyes, it was really a big forest, there were all kinds of birds, and it was the first time she had seen someone who could sleep in her awakening, "Do you remember what you dreamed of?"
"I want to think about it......" Song Yuan closed his eyes and tried to think about it for a long time, but it was only a vague shadow in his memory, "I can't remember." ”
"You're so good at it, you can't remember any of the dreams you just had!" Inas complained.
"Then did I awaken successfully?" Song Yuan asked, "But I don't seem to feel any changes in my body......
"Do you see the inscriptions engraved on the walls?" said Stuart, "the inscriptions were carved by the priest's own hand, and they are the embodiment of the priest's powers. To put it more simply, these inscriptions actually form a forbidden circle, and anyone in this hut will be suppressed to a very low level, so basically everyone who awakens here will cause the agitation of the elements in the space, but the strength of the agitation is different. And the elemental agitation you just caused is very strong. ”
"But I don't really feel anything. Song Yuan couldn't laugh or cry.
"Not necessarily, maybe you had a self-awakening when you were very young...... So this time it just triggered the agitation of the elements. Stuart comforted Song Yuan, although he didn't even believe in this reason.
But Song Yuan did cause the agitation of the elements in the air, and it was the agitation of all attribute elements, this was the first case since the establishment of the Hidden Mist, and it seemed that it was necessary for him to go back to the Europa headquarters to find someone to ask.
Inas came to Song Yuan's side and chuckled, "The thing you said yesterday that the five elements can't be cultivated seems to really exist, and when you just awakened, the six attribute elements were all restless. ”
"Please, are you a little smiling at this time?" Song Yuan found a chair and sat down, the small expectations that had been accumulated before awakening were completely shattered, and he only felt very tired and a little depressed now.
Stuart glanced at Song Yuan, didn't say a word, and turned his head to look at Chen Mo, "It's your next turn." ”
"But even if I have the prohibition of a pastor...... I'm still afraid that I'll ......," Chen Mo whispered.
"Don't worry, under the dual suppression of the magic circle and the prohibition in your body, there should be no problem. Stuart touched Chen Mo's head, "You have been here for five years, I believe you can control your ability instead of being controlled by it." ”
"But ......"
"There are some things that you always have to face, and you can't be cowardly all your life. ”
"Can I go back now?" Seeing Chen Mo lying on the bed in the hut, Song Yuan stood up and asked.
His only thought now was to go back and sleep until it was dark, and then think about the fact that he didn't have any abilities.
"There are still some processes to go after awakening, and we will be together after Chen Mo's awakening. Stuart said.
"Oh. Song Yuan nodded and sat back down.
"Let's start!" Stuart patted the medical staff on the shoulder, and began to pray in his heart that Chen Mo would not have an accident.
In the eyes of the old people at home, self-awakening is a thing to be proud of, because every self-awakened outlier will become a member of the Hidden Mist Presbyterian Church without accident, but only Stuart himself knows in his heart how terrifying self-awakening is.
When he opened his eyes in a pool of blood in Andra Newman, still holding a dagger in his hand and covered in blood scabs, he staggered to his feet and looked around, the fury of revenge and the thrill of killing fading in favor of endless fear!
His side was full of severed limbs.
Fear enveloped him, the dagger fell from his hand, and he fell to the ground, wailing.
So now he can understand Chen Mo's mood very well, because he and Chen Mo have the same experience.
Compared with Song Yuan's awakening, the medical staff was obviously more cautious about Chen Mo's awakening, he did not push the push lever that controlled the stimulation to the maximum power, but stared at the screen very cautiously and pushed it up little by little.
The recording equipment next to the computer transmitted the sound in the hut, and they could clearly hear that Chen Mo's breathing was getting worse, the inscriptions on the walls of the hut were flickering and flickering, and the medical equipment began to sound an alarm.
Song Yuan stood up again when he heard the alarm, came to Stuart's side and looked at the surveillance screen in front of him, in his eyes, the air in the picture was generating layers of air waves, and the space seemed to be distorted.
"You can see it, right?" Inas looked at Song Yuan's somewhat solemn face, and quietly came to Song Yuan's side and asked.
"I'm not sure if it's the elemental agitation you're talking about, I just think the air in the hut is chaotic, like a heat wave on an asphalt road in the hot summer. ”
"That's elemental restlessness. From a scientific point of view, "heat wave" is actually the phantom of the air being heated and expanding, changing unevenly in space, and the light from the opposite object being refracted by the air. And from the perspective of heterogeneity, the elemental restlessness in the hut comes from their controller, that is, Chen Mo. The ability of an alien to control an element is by imposing some kind of rule or law on the element, so that the element is subject to its controller, thus condensing into different types of abilities. ”
Song Yuan nodded as if he didn't understand, and he was about to speak, when he saw a crack on the screen in front of him.
"The ban that the priest had placed in her was broken. Stuart picked up the microphone and looked at Chen Mo, who kept writhing on the bed, and shouted, "Hold on, you can do it!"
As if hearing Stuart's voice, Chen Mo no longer twisted her body, her hands clutched the armrests, and her whole body trembled.
The cracks on the screen are getting bigger and bigger, as if there is an invisible blade constantly cutting the camera, and in just a few tens of seconds, the lens has long been full of holes.
"Bang!"
With a soft sound, the screen on the surveillance screen suddenly stopped, and at the same time, all the values on the computer screen disappeared! The alarm stopped, and the room fell into a deathly silence.
"The camera is destroyed! we can't see what's inside!" the paramedic shouted.
"Keep your composure!Contact the guards of the Research Department!" Stuart scolded, turned to leave, and Song Yuan and Inas glanced at each other and followed.
The air currents in the hut continued to rage, and the steel door was swollen into an eerie arc, and the sound of fingernails scratching the blackboard came from inside.
"You guys step back!" Stuart said with a glance at Song Yuan and Inas, then he grabbed the doorknob, took a deep breath, and pulled down hard.
"Bang!"
The moment the deadbolt exited, the airflow directly lifted the door away, and the stainless steel door weighing more than 300 pounds and all the medical equipment in the room smashed on the wall next to Stuart.
The raging air currents in the hut seemed to find an outlet, and they blew a loud and sharp whistle, and Stuart raised his arms to resist, but his clothes were torn to shreds by the air current, and his sturdy body was densely covered with tiny blood stains.
Song Yuan suddenly felt that it was difficult to breathe, and the air currents blowing from the hut were raging in the narrow corridors, although he was not torn apart by the air currents like Stuart, who was facing the air currents, but Song Yuan was still knocked to the ground by the air currents.
However, in the next second, a blue curtain of water appeared in front of Stuart, blocking the violent air flow in front of Stuart.
Song Yuan slowly turned his head, and Inas stood beside Song Yuan with her arms outstretched, her eyes clear and radiant.
"I can't hold it for long, you have to find a way to make her stop!" Inas ignored Song Yuan's gaze and shouted at Stuart.
"The priest is not in the castle at all, and all of us together are not sure that we will be able to stop her!" Stuart shouted in response.
"Then kill her, or we'll all die here!"
Stuart nodded, although he didn't dare to guarantee that he could stop Chen Mo, but killing her shouldn't be a big problem.
Chen Mo is now in an unconscious state, the elemental manipulation has turned her into a killing machine without any emotion, all objects that come close to Chen Mo will be torn apart by the violent air current, and the only way to stop Chen Mo is to help her control the ability in her body.
Although Stuart is similar to Chen Mo in terms of strength, if he has to stun Chen Mo, then he will inevitably die in the hands of Chen Mo.
After all, Chen Mo had no reservations, but he had some scruples.
Inas looked at the hut, Chen Mo was suspended in the air with his eyes closed, the belt had already been broken, her long black hair bloomed and curled, and the violent air currents surrounded her like docile pets in front of her, like elves flying in the wind.
"Hey, hey, hey, calm down! Maybe there's another way!" Song Yuan hurriedly dissuaded.
Stuart retreated under the protection of Inas's water curtain, and the medical staff standing at a distance rushed up to perform a simple bandage on him.
The door of the scientific research department was pushed open, and all the masked men with various weapons in their hands quickly came to Stuart in a tactical formation, if it weren't for the fact that each of them wore a miniature version of the badge with the pattern of the ancient castle of Gaufeen on their chests, Song Yuan would have thought that it was a terrorist organization that took advantage of the sneak attack.
Stuart lowered his head and pondered for a moment, "I thought of a way to stop Chen Mo......
"Please, big brother, don't sell Guan Zi at this time, okay! This is the time when human life is at stake!" Song Yuan shouted, he clearly saw that the weapon insurance in the hands of this group of strong men was in a state of activation, and it seemed that as long as Stuart gave an order, they would not hesitate to beat Chen Mo into a sieve.
"You go to Chen Mo's side and help her suppress the ability in her body. Stuart looked at Song Yuan.
"Why me? And I don't know how to help him suppress it?" Song Yuan shouted, he had seen Stuart's tragic situation in Chen Mo's realm with his own eyes, and he didn't want to be punished by this "Ling Chi" with a thousand cuts.
"Because only your recovery ability is perverted enough, you also see that in Chen Mo's realm, I can only defend passively, and it is completely impossible to go to the center of the realm, but you can. "As for how to help her control her restless abilities, I honestly don't know how to help her, you just need to give her encouragement." ”
"What do you call this method?" Song Yuan was dumbfounded.
"I remember the pastor said that when she was in the orphanage, Chen Mo fainted after awakening herself, we just need to wait until she faints?"
"But who can guarantee that something will happen before she falls unconscious?" Stuart shook his head, "Although the priest has imprisoned her abilities, her abilities have been constantly attacking the priest's bans for the past five years, and the priest needs to rearrange the bans on her every month. The priest is already approaching the life limit of the alien, if the organization can't find someone with the same ability as the priest before the priest dies, sooner or later the ability in Chen Mo's body will explode again. She'll be a bomb that could explode at any moment, and her last self-awakening has cast a shadow on her heart, and if she still can't suppress her abilities this time, then I can only choose to kill her. ”
Song Yuan was silent, as if considering Stuart's words, he stood up and looked at Chen Mo and sighed, "If there is really only one way, maybe you can really try, it seems that I am not useless......"
The exhaustion and frustration in his heart dissipated at this moment, and he had only one thought, to save Chen Mo.
Although he and Chen Mo had only known each other for one day, and he seemed to have offended her, it was a living human life!
If he didn't try to save it, he might feel guilty for the rest of his life.
"Stuart, if I don't come back, you tell my parents, I don't disgrace them. Song Yuan grinned, passed through the defensive formation of the guards of the Scientific Research Department, and slowly walked towards the hut without hesitation.
"Didn't you want to send you to death, are you so hypocritical?" Stuart looked at Song Yuan, and the words came to his lips and finally did not speak.
At the beginning, Song Yuan's pace was still very steady, taking one step, one step later, and the cycle repeated.
As he approached the door, he could clearly feel the pressure of the air currents intensifying, and now he was struggling, as if thousands of steel needles were piercing with each step.
Between the flying blades of the wind, the childish face has long been unrecognizable, blood slid down his toes, leaving one bloody footprint after another, his body has borne too much, is trembling violently, only those eyes, eyes like torches.
Heal, crack, heal again, crack again......
His gaze began to die like a broken candle, but his footsteps did not stop.
Finally, he came to Chen Mo's side.
Now Song Yuan seems to have become a "bloody" person, and he can't find a complete piece of skin on his body.
Song Yuan turned around with difficulty, grinning at Stuart and Inas, as if to tell them that he had done it.
He stretched out his bloody arms and gently hugged Chen Mo, he didn't know how to help Chen Mo suppress the ability in his body, but he knew that when a person was the most helpless, all he needed was a hug.
The flames in his pupils were completely extinguished, and Song Yuan lost consciousness, but his arms were still tightly hugging Chen Mo.
