Chapter 23: The Shrine
Thinking of the previous body's speaking style, Lin Chen couldn't help but feel a little headache, he really didn't have the protagonist's life, but he had the protagonist's illness!
There's a master with bad intentions, forget it, it's okay to pull hatred everywhere, although there is no malice, but there is a price to pay for being cool, this is good, directly to the head of the demon, and put yourself in the pit.
"The last time I checked on you, you were indeed dead. The handsome young man's eyes flashed with a strange color, and he said: "Now that you are alive, if I couldn't discern everyone's ideology, I almost killed you again just now, and you came back from the dead, is it because of the ability to awaken?"
Lin Chen suddenly understood why the other party had spared his life, it turned out that he had mistaken him for the same kind.
However, the other party's words made him a little frightened, could it be that some evil demons can still come back from the dead? Isn't this Xiaoqiang who can't be killed?
Seeing that Lin Chen was silent, Miao Yan acquiesced, and the look of surprise in his eyes was even better.
In fact, even he didn't know how many kinds of abilities there were. However, the abilities of other people of the same kind he saw were strange and incredible, and there were even many people whose bodies were cut off and could still survive!
Therefore, when he saw Lin Chen's situation, his first reaction was that it was due to his own special ability, and there was no other explanation.
Dead.
What a powerful ability this must be!
He had decided to bring this 'wild' fellow with him no matter what.
"I know you must be very panicked and unfamiliar with your abilities, but don't be afraid, you're not an outlier. Miao Yan smiled slightly, a flash of pride flashed in his eyes, and said, "You should know that we are not demons, but normal people, and it is only because we have been favored by the heavens that we have obtained this magical and powerful extraordinary ability!"
"These abilities are a gift from God!"
"Those mortals who say that we are 'demons' are just afraid of our power, so they deliberately distort and discredit us!"
"But one day, we will rule the world and let these foolish mortals know who the real gods are!"
Lin Chen listened to his skillful speech with a calm expression, but he was a little confused in his heart.
Listening to the meaning of the other party's words, it seems to mean that all 'demons' are actually human beings?
Is it just because he has awakened some extraordinary abilities, so he is called a "demon"?
He suddenly thought of the 'xenomorph' mentioned by his master Zhou Yunshen, what is xenomorphism? A type that is different from ordinary people?
Afraid that he had misheard, he asked, "You mean, all your demons were human beings in the beginning?"
Miao Yan smiled when he heard this, he had heard such a question more than once from the 'wild' demon, and even he had asked such a question in the past.
As he smiled, he couldn't help but feel a trace of sadness in his heart, this was the sadness of them, not only those stupid and ignorant mortals classified them as outliers, but even those of the same kind as them were afraid of them!
However, he believed that after he explained, Lin Chen would understand and become his partner.
"That's right, we were all human beings, like the bloodthirsty one you saw, she was also an ordinary person before she woke up. And I, before I didn't have the ability to awaken, I used to be a scholar who was determined to take the imperial examination, but later I awakened the extraordinary power in my body, so naturally I couldn't go to Beijing to take the exam, after all, the divine court was built in the imperial court, and if I entered Beijing to take the exam, it would be tantamount to throwing myself into the net. ”
When the word 'Divine Court' was spoken, Miao Yan's eyes showed a hint of hatred, but he quickly relented and said to Lin Chen: "Now that you have awakened your extraordinary power, you also belong to the 'Divine Power', and you are the target of the Divine Court's pursuit and search, once they find it, what the fate will be, you should have seen it." ”
Lin Chen was stunned.
If the demon is a human being who awakens great power.
So, in the previous scene in the square, wasn't it a group of people who were frantically killing their own kind?
He thought of the mournful woman's dying words: "You are all murderers......"
It turns out that "murderer" refers to this meaning.
"From the moment you awaken your abilities, you are different from ordinary people. Miao Yan looked at Lin Chen, whose face was uncertain, knowing that these words would take a while to digest, and said, "It is impossible for you to continue to live an ordinary life, and I advise you not to have any illusions about your family, thinking that they will protect you, once they know your abilities and know that you are the 'demon' in their mouths, they will be the first to notify the Divine Court to send someone to arrest you!"
Speaking of this, a trace of complexity flashed in his eyes, full of hatred, but also with a hint of yearning and respect, and he said softly: "There is only one place in this world that can shelter you, and that is the Divine Palace." ”
"Divine Palace?" Lin Chen's eyes moved, and he heard another unfamiliar word.
"That's right. Miao Yan had a smile on his face and said: "In the Divine Palace, all of them are divine powers like you, everyone is their own people, you can continue to live as usual, or even live better, you don't have to worry about your future fate, and you don't have to worry about being caught by the Divine Court Holy Guards and tied to the guillotine as soon as you wake up!"
"If you are willing to join us, I can take you back, with your ability, you will definitely be reused in the Divine Palace, a rare ability like yours, if known by the elders, will definitely help you continue to enhance your ability, and even allow you to have an immortal body in the future!"
There was a hint of temptation in his words, hoping that Lin Chen would be able to join.
When Lin Chen heard his words, he immediately understood in his heart that this "Divine Palace" was most likely a force opposed to the Divine Court, composed of the 'evil demons' wanted by the Divine Court, and even the name was suspected of plagiarizing the Divine Court.
But he knows that he is not a xenomorph, if he has to say that he has any special abilities, I don't know if the attribute panel counts as one?
However, the other xenomorphs are afraid of the Divine Iron, and once they touch it, they will lose all their abilities, but he mainly relies on the Divine Iron to enhance his strength, which shows that this attribute panel is not the alien ability that he has awakened.
He is still an ordinary person.
"What if I don't want to join?" Lin Chen glanced at the girl on the ground in front of him, and said, "Are you lurking in this town for her? With your ability, why didn't you save the one on the high platform before? Isn't she also your companion?"
Miao Yan said indifferently: "I did come here to take them to the Divine Palace, but unfortunately there were too many people in the square before, if you want to save that, not only kill these eight holy guards, but also kill all the official guards and other people present, otherwise my identity will be exposed." ”
"Although my ability can do this, such a large-scale slaughter will inevitably attract the attention of the Divine Court, and it will be worth the loss if it sends more powerful holy guards. ”
