Chapter 20 Zhou Li's fear, Zhou Li's determination
In Zhou Li's hand, a transparent card the size of a business card was slightly refracting light, different from the cheap plastic texture, it was more like a crystal business card, but there was nothing on it.
Soon, something more important attracted Zhou Li's attention.
Just as Zhou Li's gaze passed through the card and landed on the crystal business card illustration on the page, the sudden discovery made him stunned.
The symbol on that illustration is almost exactly the same as Lu Qianshui's shattered pendant!
Confused, his finger landed on the page and whispered, "Eihwaz? ”
In an instant, in the deepest part of his chest, there was a throbbing in his heart that he was about to wake up, and he opened his shirt to see the faintly shiny tree on his heart.
Like a towering tree that grows up and begins to feed the earth, in the faint light, the heat spreads from the mouth of the heart and swells throughout the body with the beating of the heart.
In the infiltration of the heat flow, the sleepiness and pain that had been haunting Zhou Li after using his power too much dissipated without a trace, and his drowsy spirit was shocked.
This is...... What's going on?
In Zhou Li's understanding, after using that strange ability, he can accelerate his somatosensory time, and his vision and perception can be improved dozens of times.
If Zhou Li goes all out, he can even frantically search for all the information scattered in his sight, and he can repeat the situation.
But the price of using it is Zhou Li's energy and physical strength.
Driven by ability, the rapid operation of the brain will quickly rob the body of all nutrients, and consume the oxygen content in the blood at an incredible rate.
In other words, if he exceeds the limit, he may suffocate and become a vegetative person due to brain death before his brain is burned out.
All along, Zhou Li's heart was vaguely afraid of such a power, afraid that it would completely devour his energy, physical strength and even life like a strange beast.
And now, with Zhou Li's recitation, the 'strange tree diagram' that appeared in his heart was able to provide energy for his empty body like a power source?
No, not the power supply, but the battery backup!
Zhou Li recalled his extraordinary hunger and crazy gluttony outside the hospital, eating enough for several people to die in one meal, but still unable to stop being hungry.
At that time, the calories and nutrients produced by the food that was digested at an accelerated pace were probably stolen by this thing, right?
And when you recite this letter, it is as if you have activated some kind of mechanism, releasing nutrients to feed your empty spirit.
Then, there must be some kind of connection between the tree diagram on the chest and the "Rune Alphabet" in the hand!
A smile of surprise appeared on Zhou Li's face.
If you can find out this connection, you can find it down, and you will definitely be able to figure out what is going on with your ability, and the truth that you have always wanted to find!
Therefore, Zhou Li, who was in a much better mental state, lowered his head and continued to look at the relevant chapters.
eihwww.xstxt.org', pronounced 'eoh'.
In the book's analysis, this character symbolizes death or rebirth, guarding and protection, and can even represent a 'bow' weapon.
However, the original meaning of this character is 'Purple Shirt' - the yew tree is green all year round and therefore never dies, and it represents the rebirth of the soul of the Heroic who died in battle in the 'Valhalla'.
In a deeper sense, it represents......
"Continuous and persistent?"
Zhou Li looked at the tree diagram that gradually disappeared in his heart, and suddenly realized.
'Continuous and persistent' - that is, the rune has the effect of storing power and replenishing it when the subject is empty?
If this is really the case, as long as Zhou Li's power stored in it is sufficient, I am afraid that it will not be a problem to maintain this fully open state of deduction all day long.
But before he could do that, he had a lot to figure out.
For example, what is this thing that appeared in the heart after the pendant shattered? Is there a hazard? How does it work?
And most importantly, do you have to leave this familiar 'reality' and enter the 'unknown world' that you have never seen before?
Enter the dangerous world that belongs only to the capable.
The continuous questions and the lack of information made Zhou Li feel a burst of frustration, and he leaned back in his chair helplessly, looking up at the ceiling.
"Rune Rune...... Does it have anything to do with my uncle's death? ”
He whispered to himself, raised his palm, and examined his palm prints with the pupils of his teal rainbow light.
Ever since I had that ability, my eyesight has grown by leaps and bounds, and although it has stopped now, my eyesight has also reached the point of sensationalism.
In the darkness with only a glimmer of light, you can see everything as if it were daytime, and you only need to concentrate on seeing Mars more than ten kilometers away......
What followed was the lingering cyan rainbow light in the pupils, the 'life lines' that could not be eliminated no matter how focused Zhou Li's ability to converge.
There was no need to carry out other futile acts, Zhou Li already understood that unless he gouged out his eyes, the cyan light would definitely not disappear.
Fortunately, it is not conspicuous when it is outside of his ability, otherwise Zhou Li would have to go out with black contact lenses every day.
"What the hell is this?"
Zhou Li laughed self-deprecatingly: "Cataract mutation? Or is it proof of the existence of this ability? ”
Slowly put down his hand, exposing his pupils to the sunlight, faintly cyan lit up, as if he was about to release light.
This is a symptom that the capable can never hide, the only difference between ordinary people and capable people in appearance.
Like the favor of the heavens, the Mighty have powers that ordinary people cannot possess - they can ignite fire, spread frost, and enslave beasts......
However, while gaining this power, he will also carry the life pattern on his body, and he will never be able to return to the original world.
It's like Zhou Li at this moment, who is hesitant because of the power he has.
It is possible to accelerate the somatosensory time by tens of times per second, and to perform high-speed analysis that even reproduces the situation after reaching the limit.
It's a good idea to have such an ability, and if you can use it freely, you can easily produce incredible miracle effects.
But Zhou Li has always sealed this ability, and he will never use it if he can.
Even after saving himself in that car accident, he seemed to forget that he had the ability to return to a normal life.
This may come from the fear in his heart.
Zhou Li's social experience in the past three years told him that if he picked up a large bag of dollars on the street one day, the best way is to keep a low profile and keep a low profile, and it is best to wait for the limelight to pass, and after several years, no one will forget about it and then take it out.
In short, don't let others notice your abnormality, or something bad may happen.
It's like who you are now.
The advantage of having a fan of American dramas in my college roommate is that I can easily borrow a hard drive full of several tons of American dramas to watch.
Coincidentally, there are really a lot of TV series related to 'special abilities' in American dramas.
It's a pity that whether it is in the once popular "Hero", "Alpha Warrior" or the popular series of movies "X-Men", "Spider-Man" and other movies and TV series, the lives of the supernatural are not very chic.
Most of the time, everyone has to be careful to keep a low profile, otherwise they will get into all kinds of trouble.
Because you are never the only lucky person in the world, there are many others.
Zhou Li didn't know how many powerful people were hidden in this world, so he had been very careful to classify himself into the category of ordinary people and not to be too conspicuous.
Moreover, less than an hour ago, Zhou Li found out that his uncle, who lived under the same roof as him, was also a person with special abilities.
And this is the man who was able to 'turn a heavy bookcase into a pile of dusty powder in half a minute', but was killed a few days ago.
This shows that the relationship between the capable people is more complicated and dark than Zhou Li imagined, although I don't know how bloody the battle is, but at least everyone will not sit together happily drinking tea and chatting, otherwise it would be too stupid.
Moreover, in most film and television works with the same theme, there will always be a "good place" specially prepared for "strange guys" in human society.
Whether it's the shelter in Alpha Warrior or the prison called 'End' in Spec...... Human society's tolerance for 'otherness' has never been as optimistic as Professor X imagined, on the contrary, most of the time their tolerance for 'otherness' is '0'.
Otherwise, why do righteous heroes such as Parker, Superman, and all kinds of heroes need a mask or disguise?
Otherwise, why would those who possess all kinds of powerful powers hide their existence and lurk in the shadows of this world?
There are so many mysteries.
In the dark forest, if you want to be a hunter rather than a prey, you must first hide your tracks.
Otherwise, you will have to lie on the operating table and be soaked in formalin for the rest of your life.
But will he really be able to go back to his old life?
Zhou Li lowered his head and looked at the photo frame on the desk, which had fallen with a layer of fine dust.
In the photo, Zhou Li is carrying the cheering Lu Xiaoshui on his back, standing behind the smiling uncle and uncle.
This is the 'world' he cherishes, the 'life' he wants to maintain and let it continue to exist!
However, all of this had been shattered a week before the death of my uncle and aunt.
A week is as short as one step away.
However, even one step has turned into an insurmountable abyss of despair, cruelly cut by time and life and death.
So, how can Zhou Li, who has nowhere to go, find the direction to go back?
"Uncle, you who ruined all the clues, don't you want me to enter this world?"
He looked at the smiling middle-aged man in the frame, and suddenly smiled sadly: "But, I have nowhere to go." ”
Therefore, the only way to move forward is to hold on to this last suspension!
He picked up the transparent card on the desk again, and his expression no longer had any hesitation or hesitation.
It doesn't matter if he enters the unknown world, at all costs, he wants to find out the culprit hidden in the dark!;
