Chapter 5 On the Subversion of the Basic View of the World
In the bright ward, Chu Qiao was wearing a hospital gown, lying on the bed without a straight shape, his hands pillowing behind his head, and the whole person was looking at the roof in a daze.
After being admitted to the hospital in the early morning, the doctor was asked to manually reset the broken ribs, and the other abrasions were not a big deal, but they were just sterilized and bandaged.
And when he woke up not long ago, he let people tell him that someone would come to see him later, and of course Chu Qiao didn't care about himself who was still unable to move, so he pondered it alone in the ward.
Before he fell asleep, he remembered the minotaur rushing at them, and after that he vaguely remembered a tingling in his eyes, and his mind kept trying to stop the monster from advancing, and finally he fainted again when he heard a scream.
His left hand was unconsciously placed on his eyes, and when he woke up, he found that his eyes, which were originally a little short-sighted, were actually much brighter, and it seemed that as long as he looked intently, he could catch the wings of the butterfly that happened to fly by outside the window... Dense pattern.
Chu Qiao, who was a little strange in his heart, was not so happy that he didn't know what to do, what he wanted to know was why two monsters actually found him in less than a few hours.
Is it because of the strange dreams these days? Or is it a change in your own body?
I don't know anything, I can only wait for someone to come for me to answer for myself.
The door of the "crunch" ward was pushed open, and Chu Qiao got up and looked, but it was the girl who came first yesterday who met twice, and a young man followed behind.
"Hello, looks like you're recovering well." As soon as the young man entered, he spoke, apparently he was the one who was the one in charge of the two.
Chu Qiao nodded and asked with a little confusion, "Are you?" "It's strange that this man feels like he can't see through it.
"My name is Chaowen, Qiong Anli's senior." Chao Wen pointed to Qiong Anli on the side.
"Hello, my name is Chu Qiao, thank you for saving me."
Chu Qiao greeted the two of them, especially Qiong Anli, after all, she saved herself twice, and thanked her on the side.
"Hmph." Qiong Anli was observing the ward from the side, and when she saw Chu Qiao, she said, "It's better to be practical and buy me a few packets of sugar." ”
Uh, it's really straightforward, this girl's personality seems to have always been like this.
Chu Qiao thought helplessly in his heart, but he didn't refuse: "After I am discharged from the hospital, I will help Miss An Li buy it." ”
"Uh-huh." Qiong Anli nodded as if you were doing a good job, and said, "Don't call me Miss Anli, just call me by my name, so be direct." ”
"Okay. Then thank you Anli. ”
Chaowen on the side also spoke at this time: "Actually, we came here mainly to ask Chu Qiao about you." ”
"Please." Chu Qiao naturally didn't agree, even if they didn't open their mouths, they would ask, after all, they had too many questions that needed to be answered.
"Actually, I want to ask you that you should notice the difference that is starting to appear in your body, right?" Chaowen affirmed on the side.
"Yes, I've been having a weird dream on and off since eight days ago, and I've been feeling so good mentally and physically for the past two days." Saying that, Chu Qiao also turned his waist, and he felt that the wound on his ribs was almost recovering, "Just like now." ”
"Huh." Hearing this, Chao Wen nodded and smiled: "That's normal, for those who have awakened." ”
"The Awoke? What is that? Chu Qiao grabbed the words and asked.
"It's like you, at the age of eighteen, the power hidden in the body will sprout, of course, there are some exceptions, but generally at your age." Chaowen explained.
"Oh." Chu Qiao nodded when he heard this: "Is everyone like this?" And what does it have to do with the monster you encountered last night? ”
"Not necessarily, just a special case. We call this kind of power the spirit, which is induced by the extreme harmony between a person's spirit and body, and the general awakening is called the spirit. Chao Wen shook his head with a smile, and then groaned a little.
"As for the monsters in your mouth, they are all collectively called "souls". ”
"Soul?" Chu Qiao was a little stunned when he heard this, people's self-awakening is called spirit, but those monsters are souls, and the basic view of this world is really completely subverted.
"Yes, the formation of souls has always been unknown to us, because the space they live in is not in this world, but in a place called "Soul Domain" that we cannot reach for the time being. Chaowen said.
"It's really complicated, are you sure it's not a fiction?" Chu Qiao didn't interrupt Chaowen's explanation, but muttered to himself in his heart.
"And the relationship between the spirit and the soul." Chao Wen raised his right hand when he said this, and the green fluorescence began to condense on it, "It can only be said that they are hunting each other, and the spirits have been blocking the invasion of souls and some other things in this world." ”
Looking at the condensed fluorescence on Chao Wen's hand, Chu Qiao felt that there was a feeling of breathing freely on his body, as if his whole body was spontaneously active.
And Chu Qiao was a little surprised to hear that there were some other things, in addition to the soul, there were so many strange things, how did the present world calm until now, and asked helplessly: "This world is so unpeaceful, how is it stable until now." ”
Qiong Anli on the side said proudly when she heard this: "Of course, some of our brave people who have joined us and ordinary people who know this are working together, after all, this is where we live." ”
Chao Wen said on the side: "Yes, in addition to having the entire world as a barrier to block those souls, some souls will join us to maintain it together, and the difference in this world is even greater than you imagined." After speaking, he looked at Chu Qiao meaninglessly.
"For example, those monsters?" Chu Qiao suddenly remembered the picture that he cared about very much.
"Extraneous mother? What is that? Chaowen was stunned when he heard this.
"Ugh." Chu Qiao, who never thought that the people in front of him would not know, couldn't help but be a little speechless, could it really be that he was sensitive, and when he thought about it, he described: "It has a giant insect-like lower body, and the upper body is a strange creature with a human body. ”
Chao Wen's expression became solemn when he heard this, and Qiong Anli on the side also walked over from the window, and the two glanced at each other, the meaning of which was unknown.
"Where did you see that?" Chao Wen looked up and asked.
"An urban legend magazine, which often publishes strange things, but often has descriptions of souls and the like." Chu Qiao spread his hands and said: "Originally, I didn't care about this, it's a friend who often pays attention, and I saw a picture above yesterday that made me care a lot." ”
"Is that the person you call your mother?" Chao Wen picked up the words and asked, "What's the difference that caught your attention?" ”
"The eyes in that picture, looking at the camera as if looking at food, only an endless appetite that makes me feel that the hairs on my body stand on end." Chu Qiao's eyes recalled the picture yesterday, and it was still very clear at this time.
"Could it be computer synthesized?" Qiong Anli on the side asked.
"Impossible."
Chu Qiao directly denied it.
