Club of Abnormal Humans. The place that Zhang Yu called the Anomaly Society was also the place where Zheng Ming was brought.

It's hard to believe that the school would allow such a strangely named club to exist, or even have a separate activity room for club activities.

"Squeak~~~"

Since this is an old-fashioned school building on the old campus, the wooden door has a rather harsh friction sound when it is pushed open.

Zhang Yu pushed open the door and walked in first, and Zheng Ming didn't hesitate too much, and walked into the room after him.

The room is not very large, not to mention the multimedia classrooms used for public classes, even compared to the general professional classrooms. In addition, there are all kinds of miscellaneous items inside, which looks quite cramped.

There were two men and a woman sitting in the room, and they didn't mean to say hello when they saw someone coming in, but they just turned their heads and glanced at each other and went about their own business.

"They're members here." After Zhang Yu explained to Zheng Ming in a low voice, he cleared his throat and said to the three people in the room in a too high volume: "Ahem, um." This is the Zheng Ming I mentioned before, and I happened to meet him when I went to the library to check the materials today, so I took him over to have a look. ”

No one is on the wrong side!

Zhang Yu, who was leading Zheng Ming to stand at the door, touched his nose in embarrassment when he saw this, and said half-explaining, half-quibbling: "Hehe, our members here are all a bit maverick, and there is no one to manage them on weekdays, they all do their own things, and they all act according to their preferences." Saying that, Zhang Yu led Zheng Ming towards the table and chair in the center of the room.

After pouring Zheng Ming a cup of instant coffee, Zhang Yu did the opposite side and briefly introduced the situation of the anomaly club.

"We also have a few members, both off-campus and on-campus. However, most of the people who come here are near Y University, or they are directly members of Y University. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Yu pointed to the young man who was sitting on the side and bowed his head and played with the collection, and introduced to Zheng Ming: "His name is Ma Yan, he is an otaku, and he thinks the school dormitory is too noisy, so he reluctantly passes the time here." If I don't warn him when I leave, I doubt he'll be here until he dies. ”

Hearing this, Zheng Ming looked in the direction Zhang Yu was pointing. Suddenly, I saw the short and fat young man who was huddled in the corner of the computer desk in front of everyone, frantically typing on the keyboard.

"Hey, Ma Yan, his name is Zheng Ming. Turn around and say hello. ”

"Tsk!"

Hearing Zhang Yu's unceremonious order, Ma Yan released a dissatisfied voice, and turned back angrily, which can be regarded as a greeting.

Thanks to this glimpse, Zheng Ming was also able to see the other party's appearance clearly.

This is a short and fat young man with a garlic nose, squinting eyes, and thick lips. looks simple, but the attitude is very bad. Compared to his appearance, which does not conform to most people's aesthetics, his skin is as well-maintained as a baby's skin.

"It's reluctant to let you say hello! Alright, get busy with you. After Zhang Yu reprimanded angrily, he shook his head helplessly, and then pointed to another man who was originally in the room.

"His name is Xiao Ling. We call him a hypnotist. His abilities are also related to his code name, which is the ability to hypnosis. ”

Hearing Zhang Yu say the word ability, Zheng Ming didn't pay much attention to it. Human beings themselves are creatures that are easily influenced by others, and although it is not uncommon to hypnotize people through verbal suggestion and guidance, plus props and drugs, it is not uncommon.

This time, Xiao Ling didn't wait for Zhang Yu to speak, and took the lead in greeting Zheng Ming.

"Hello."

"Hello."

In a simple greeting, Zheng Ming quickly glanced at the other party. This is a tall, thin young man. has a thin melon seed face, and his facial features are not particularly outstanding, but when combined with a white and clean complexion, it gives people a clean and neat feeling.

There was only one person left in the room who had not yet been introduced, and Zheng Ming subconsciously looked at her.

It was an elegant woman with a temperament like an orchid, with curved willow eyebrows and slightly raised eyes, all of which gave people a sense of freshness. At this time, she was quietly half-leaning on the side of the bed, in the sun, holding a book, reading beside no one. The rising sun fell on her, covering her with a faint golden veil, and her surroundings seemed to be shrouded in a layer of fields, looking like the years were quiet.

"Her name is Merlan. He has an extraordinary sense of anomalous perception and is called a guide. ”

Zhang Yu's introduction sounded at the right time, but this time he didn't specifically interrupt Mei Lan's reading and asked her to greet Zheng Ming.

Soon, Zheng Ming reined in his mind and took back the eyes that lingered on Mei Lan.

"You're all codenamed? What other abilities do you have, abnormal perception, why can't I understand a little? Zheng Ming asked with a little concern.

Although he had also experienced a world where he could awaken and cultivate, in this world without Yuan Qi, it should not be feasible to absorb and use Yuan Qi's cultivation.

"Yes. I forgot to tell you, my code name is the Immortal. As for the ability...... It's as if some people are born with a talent for drawing, and some are born with strong bodies and developed motor nerves. And the ability I am talking about is like a kind of talent, and very few special people will have special abilities. Some discover their abilities as their bodies open, while others are born with a curse that always accompanies them. ”

Zheng Ming didn't care too much about the explanation of the later abilities, anyone who has watched some abilities or anime movies and even dramas and other film and television works will have a more or less understanding of this, not to mention that Zheng Ming has seen many players who awaken their natural abilities.

What he cares about is not why this world has special abilities, but why there are special abilities in the world, and the original Qi and talent he has worked so hard to cultivate are useless!

"Immortals? How long is it? ”

Hearing Zheng Ming's curious question, Zhang Yu looked out the window with empty eyes, his face full of complicated expressions.

"It's long, it's long. So long that I can't even forget the exact time. I've forgotten how I used to live. I have always maintained this appearance, but in order not to cause trouble, I was forced to continue to be displaced, to another place where no one knew me, and to start over and over again. Over the years, I have been chased by life, exhausted and worried. ”

"And do you remember how long you lived?"

Zheng Ming looked at the people who were all normal, and there was still some disbelief in the spirit that a strong person should have.

"Have you ever heard of the Peach Blossom Spring?" Zhang Yu did not answer positively, but asked Zheng Ming rhetorically.

Zheng Ming was slightly stunned when he heard this, and said with an uncertain face: "You mean?" ”

"That's right."

Zhang Yu nodded affirmatively. Zheng Ming, on the other hand, fell silent.

"I wasn't cautious enough and not skilled enough. I went back to the place where I had just lived, and I was recognized. Out of desperation, I had to make up a story casually. Fortunately, at that time, the people's wisdom was not opened, and the people's customs were simple, and they firmly believed in the theory of ghosts and gods. Unexpectedly, the casual nonsense in the urgency at that time kept being believed, and it was passed on by word of mouth. ”

"So you've lived for more than 1,600 years?" Zheng Ming asked in disbelief.

You must know that even the advanced technology of Xinglin City can only extend people's lifespan to one hundred and fifty or sixty now. After that, you will be shortened to the decline period of rapid aging, and you will no longer be able to rely on drugs to prolong your life.

Even if there are a few people who are particularly old, it is because of the cultivation of the exercises and realms, although that method will delay the period of death, but it cannot really stop aging. It is unimaginable that Zhang Yu has lived for more than 1,600 years or even more!

"Don't blame me for speaking ugly, even if the turtle has lived for a thousand years, it should be wise and close to the demon, right? Not to mention humans! If you really live for so many years, even if you spend most of your time messing around, as long as you study, you should know everything in all fields, right? ”

"I don't know everything, I only know what I know."

Zhang Yu said something quite tongue-twisting, but Zheng Ming still understood the meaning. He was saying that he could only know what he was able to access at the time. But this statement will make Zheng Ming's knowledge reserve debunk the other party's intentions into self-contradiction. Yes, if he has been wasting his time in a muddled manner and has not taken the initiative to learn knowledge, then this has become an excuse to justify himself. This is a proposition that cannot be falsified and cannot be proven.

"Didn't you learn some skills and knowledge to survive? Do you know how many ancient crafts and technologies have been broken or even lost in modern times? As long as you know one or two of these things, you will not have to worry about food and clothing, right? And for such a long time, why did you choose to hide around? If you build up your personal power, with your long life and always young body, it is not surprising that you can build a huge dynasty of your own, right? ”

"There's some truth to what you're saying, but you're ignoring something. First of all, I am immortal, but I am not immortal, and I will bleed and hurt when I am injured, and I may even die like a normal person. I don't want to risk my life. And when the ruler is immortal, what will those subordinates who are loyal to you think? What will the heirs who are waiting for the inheritance rights think? A dynasty that will never come out, and there will always be a supreme existence that oppresses you, how can it last forever? It's not human! If there is no hope, the power of human beings bursting out of despair is terrifying beyond imagination! ”

As if thinking of some past events, Zhang Yu sighed with emotion and continued: "Second, answer your questions about craftsmanship and technology. I've certainly learned a lot of skills and crafts to survive. But the long years will make me strange and forgetful. Take learning to drive as an example. You've successfully got your driver's license and are now able to drive around, but what about decades later? If you haven't touched a car in a short period of time, then I can tell you for sure that in just a few years you will forget most of the things you have learned. You can't even tell the difference between the high and low beams and the accelerator clutch and brake! And if the car will be different from what it is today, can you be sure that you will be able to drive a car decades from now with your current driving skills? The same is true for me! Whether it is the knowledge learned or the technology that you have mastered, it will gradually be abandoned by the brain over time. ”

"What did that time leave you?"

Hearing Zheng Ming's question, Zhang Yu pulled the corners of his mouth far-fetchedly, and said with emotion in a voice that was almost talking to himself: "Yes." What did I leave behind? Recently, I heard a very interesting saying that when a person is born, he or she has been metabolically replacing necrotic and aging cell tissues, and when he gets old, even the cranial nerves will gradually weaken. By that time, will this old man be two completely different people from when he was young? So who am I? What makes me call me who I am? Is my past me and my present still alone? ”

Zheng Ming frowned when he heard this. Zhang Yu's question is very similar to the ship of Theseus, which is one of the oldest thought experiments. It was first written by Plutarch. It describes a ship that can sail at sea for hundreds of years, thanks to non-stop repairs and replacement parts. As soon as a board rots, it is replaced, and so on, until all the functional parts are no longer the ones that were in the beginning.

The question is, is the resulting ship still the original ship of Theseus, or is it a completely different ship? If it wasn't the original ship, then at what point was it no longer the original? The philosopher Thomas Hobbes later extended on this, if a new ship was to be built from old parts taken from the ship of Theseus, which of the two ships would be the real ship of Theseus?

This has reached the realm of philosophy, a paradox that no one can explain!

"If there is anything that has left me behind, it should be more and more indifferent feelings, and the receptivity brought by constantly changing environments. Although I can't remember the specific experiences and mistakes I made, the summary of the experience of seeking good fortune and avoiding evil has been deeply engraved in my mind, turning into an almost instinctive conditioned reflex. I've heard that the structure of the human brain will develop into a very different structure depending on the field you are in and the things you have been exposed to for many years, maybe my tendency to avoid evil has also changed my brain structure? Maybe it's all engraved in the genes and can be passed on to the next generation. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Yu himself was amused by himself first, but this laughter did reveal a sadness that was difficult to be strict in Zheng Ming's ears.

"Maybe many people will think that this is a gift from heaven. But it's also the most vicious curse of all. Fortunately, I can still adapt to this ability, and if I am replaced by another person, I may have been in a long time, watching my relatives and friends leave one by one, but I will always be alone, and I will go crazy alone. ”

"So you founded the Anomaly Society? The members here all have more or less magical abilities just like you? Zheng Ming interjected at the right time.

Zhang Yu shook his head when he heard this.

"No, no, no, I didn't build it. I was also approached by the acting president when I was floating in the vast sea of people. ”

"Acting President?"

"You've seen him, his name is Wang Yuan. Possess the eye of death. Codename Spirit Pupil. ”

"And who is the president here?"

Hearing Zheng Ming ask the information of the principal again, Zhang Yu shook his head with a complicated expression.

"I don't know. Or maybe it doesn't exist at all! The position of president has always been vacant. Even the establishment of the Anomaly Society is due to the acting president and vice president. They had said that no one was qualified to be president at the moment, not even the two of them. ”

"But they say you're special."

Just as Zheng Ming and Zhang Yu were concentrating on talking, a voice like flowing water from a small spring came from behind Zheng Ming's ears. He looked back, and at some point the woman named Mei Lan, who was leaning against the bed, had closed the book and walked to a position about a meter or two behind him.
