Volume 1: Awakening Chapter 5: Welcome to the Real World (3)
"Why does she call you Grandpa Pastor?"
Looking at Chen Mo, who was cleaning up in the kitchen, Song Yuan asked Uncle Ma with his shoulder.
"Pastor is my name in the organization, if you are not used to calling me Uncle Ma. ”
"Let's call you pastor, and I'll be weird to call Uncle Ma again. Song Yuan scratched his head, "What's going on with this Chen Mo?"
The priest sat down and sighed, "Chen Mo is an orphan, she grew up in an orphanage before the organization sent her here. ”
"It's similar to mine. Song Yuan shrugged, "So she's also an internal member of the organization?"
"Not yet," the priest shook his head, "and he'll be on the test with you tomorrow." ”
"What assessment?"
"Stuart didn't tell you?"
"No, he asked me to sign an agreement this morning, and nothing else has been said yet. ”
"That's right, every new outlier who joins the organization is no different from ordinary people on the surface before they have special abilities, and they need a special way to stimulate the demigod genes hidden in their bodies, so as to determine the traits they express, so we call this process assessment. And this trait is what we call an ability. ”
"But why did I have the ability without passing the test?"
"What?"
"Stuart showed me my exam report this morning, which said I was very injured but I recovered in just one day. ”
"The ability to recover beyond the average is just a basic ability, not an ability, you just have a stronger ability to recover. ”
"Oh, so she is a newcomer according to your meaning?"
"She's not new, she's been living here for five years. ”
"Haven't passed the assessment for five years?" Song Yuan pouted after glancing at Chen Mo, thinking that this girl was just like that.
The priest rarely became serious, "She is an extremely rare self-awakening, but her state is very unstable, so it has been delayed until now." ”
"Self-awakening?"
Ever since he had seen the terrifying recovery ability in the hospital room before, Song Yuan had become accustomed to such strange words, and even now that the priest had told him that dogs could spit out ivory from their mouths, he would be convinced.
"Many people in the organization need to awaken their abilities in the assessment, but in fact, there are still a very small number of people's abilities that under certain conditions, the abilities hidden in the body will manifest themselves, which we call self-awakening. The pastor explained.
"Sounds amazing," Song Yuan admired.
"According to the Order's records, people with the gift of self-awakening invariably go to two extremes: the core of the organization who has mastered the ability perfectly, or the emotionless killing machine who indulges in the talent. The pastor said, "Chen Mo's self-awakening comes from emotional stimulation, the orphanage where she is located was robbed by a group of kidnappers, but there is no money in the orphanage, the kidnappers killed some of the children to demonstrate and took the remaining children and the director of the orphanage as hostages to blackmail the government of the United States, but when the police arrived at the scene, Chen Mo was the only one left in the orphanage." ”
"She killed everyone?" Song Yuan's face was full of horror.
"Everyone, including the director of the orphanage and the children, all had their throats cut by a sharp blade. The priest accentuated, "In the process of self-awakening, everything is unconscious, and no one can control it. ”
"This is simply a humanoid weapon! Or the kind that hurts a thousand enemies without self-damage!" Song Yuan exclaimed in surprise, and then covered his mouth violently.
He suddenly realized that the "humanoid weapon" in his mouth was washing dishes in the kitchen right now, and he had just offended someone, and if she heard this again, she could kill him in a minute!
"I strongly recommend that you separate me from Chen Mo, otherwise the next time you see me again, I guess I'll be cold!"
"Don't worry, I won't let her stay here if she's so dangerous, her abilities have been temporarily sealed when she came here. The pastor was relieved, "She is no different from an ordinary person now." ”
"But who can guarantee that she won't run amok again?"
"Theoretically, as long as you don't get the same stimulus again, nothing will happen. ”
"Forget it, you better tell me what the treasure is. "If you come, you will be safe, and Song Yuan simply won't think about it.
"Twelve thousand years ago, in the center of the Pacific Ocean there used to be a place called the continent of Mu, where there were no steep mountains, only plains and low hills, as far as the eye could see, the soil was fertile, the plants flourished all year round, the flowers and fruits were fragrant in all seasons, the colorful butterflies flew in the shade of the trees, and the hummingbirds chirped. Herds of wild elephants roam in the primeval forest, and humans and animals are peaceful and peaceful. And it was a god who created all this, the "seven-headed serpent" Nalayana. The priest spoke slowly, "The tremendous energy needed to nurture this continent, in order to sustain this continent, Narayana separated her six heads from her body, thus giving birth to six demigods, representing earth, water, fire, wind, air, and death. Weakened and weakened, Narayana fell into a deep slumber, and for the first few thousand years, the six demigods went their separate ways and were at peace with each other. After thousands of years of reproduction, the number of human beings is too large, so the six demigods decided to select the elite from the human beings who believe in them and give them some abilities, and use humans to manage the human race, and these humans who are endowed with abilities are called "aliens". ”
"It sounds a bit like medieval religious preaching. Chen Mo's voice suddenly came from Song Yuan's ears.
"Why are you like a cat, you walk without making a sound!" Song Yuan was so frightened that he almost left his body, and hurriedly distanced himself from Chen Mo.
"It's obvious that you yourself are too engrossed!" Chen Mo glanced at Song Yuan, "Grandpa Pastor, what happened later?"
"Under the management of the aliens, the first empire appeared on the continent of Mu, called the "Mu Empire". Because the outliers of the elected king were devotees of the demigods who represented fire, the king of the Mu empire was called "Ram", Ra meant the sun, and Mu meant the mother, so the Mu empire was called "the empire of the mother of the sun". This caused the discontent of the other demigods, and the contradictions continued to grow, eventually turning into war. The six demigods themselves are equally powerful, but in order to defeat each other, they have extended their claws to innocent humans. Strong winds and snow blew in all directions on the Mu continent, freezing the earth, the sun was gone, and the continent had no warmth since then. In the bitter cold, full of suspicion and conflict, the humans on the continent of Mu slashed each other with spears or swords, the cracked earth was stained red with blood, the hungry beasts of the wilderness wandered around in search of food, people were no longer tolerant and considerate of each other or helped each other, fratricidal, father and son became enemies, killed each other in ugly competition, the whole world became very restless, and sin spread like a plague. At this time, the aliens finally understood that they were not serving gods but demons, so they began to help the surviving humans escape from the Mu continent and go to all corners of the world to escape the disaster. ”
"The six demigods fought to the end and were seriously injured, and the Mu continent also sank because of them, seeing their former home destroyed, the human union aliens launched a counterattack when the demigods were at their weakest, and sealed them one by one in all corners of the world, and guarded the seals for generations. ”
"Perfect ending. Song Yuan shrugged his shoulders, "Justice will eventually triumph over evil, and promote truth, goodness and beauty." This is said in many movies and TV series in our country. ”
"That shouldn't be the end. Chen Mo spoke.
"How do you know, have you heard this story?" Song Yuan asked stupidly.
"No, I guess. ”
"This is history, not a story!" the priest corrected Song Yuan's words, "What Chen Mo said just now is right, the way demigods manage human beings is indeed a bit like the medieval Holy See, which also leads to some outliers relying on the majesty of the gods to do domineering things. And in this battle of the gods, these aliens did not unite against the demigods, but chose to interfere with them. After the war, humanity wanted to kill these aliens, but they were opposed by other aliens, and finally humans and aliens reached a consensus and exiled these aliens to a faraway place and left them to fend for themselves. ”
"Then they went extinct in the end?" Song Yuan asked.
"It's not written in the ancient books, but I guess they must have survived until now. ”
"Then the question is, what do you say all this has to do with me?" Song Yuan scratched his head and asked.
"Of course it does," the priest explained, "and we have recently discovered that the way the demigods empower the chosen ones is by modifying the genes of the chosen ones to transform humans into aliens. Since then, the surviving aliens have gradually merged into the human race, and the genes modified by the demigods in their bodies have been gradually diluted, and the aliens have gradually disappeared, eventually becoming indistinguishable from humans. But although the heterogeneity is gone, the gene will never disappear, it is like a drop of ink melted into the water, although we can't see it, it has always existed. It lies dormant in human genes, and in some cases these genes are reactivated, thus becoming outliers again. Your parents already possessed extremely high demigod genes, and you, as their offspring, are close to the limit of demigod genes possessed by aliens, so there are people who are interested in you, and they want to obtain more powerful abilities by intercepting your genome sequence. ”
Song Yuan suddenly felt a chill, and he couldn't help but make up in his mind the situation that he was being used for experiments like a guinea pig.
I didn't want to be an outlier in the eyes of others, but I heard the pastor's meaning, and I seemed to be an outlier in the eyes of others?
What the is this!
"I actually just want to be an ordinary person......" Song Yuan lowered his head.
"Life is a life, grass and trees are autumn, although God is destined to be involuntarily, but how to think and how to do it is in your own hands. The pastor patted Song Yuan on the shoulder, "You've watched you grow up since you were a child, and you're eager for other people's approval, aren't you?"
"Don't live up to your parents' expectations of you, kid. The pastor stood up and touched Chen Mode's head, "Actually, this kid Song Yuan is very similar to you, there should be a lot of common topics between you, I still have something to do over there, so I'll leave first, and next time I come here, I'll make you a scrambled egg with tomatoes." ”
"Okay!" Chen Mo obediently stood up, "Grandpa Pastor, I'll send you." ”
