After that, Aita gave each of them a watch that belonged to this world, and the day was divided into 30 periods, 18 during the day and 12 at night. The length of each session is about three seconds shorter than the hour in the original world, and on a small scale, it is negligible.

Immediately afterward, Aita took them to meet 15 more Chaos Hunters. Not all the people in this tribe are of the same race, in terms of bone appearance, skin color, and body shape, there are five mixed races, and if you count Li Ben, it is six. Aita introduced that the five tribes are: the Hector tribe, the Piramir tribe, the mountain tribe, the wild god tribe, and the eagle tribe. In addition to them, there are hundreds of different races in this world.

"3,000 years ago, there were not so many races, and these 3,000 years of changes have made human beings more complicated. "Aita's voice is always mechanically smooth and accurate, without any emotion.

"Do you think this is a good thing or a bad thing?" asked her.

"It takes a lot of statistics and calculations to come up with this answer, and I don't want to waste energy on such meaningless things. ”

"I said, what are you storing in your database?" Zhou Haomiao asked curiously.

"History. ”

"That's my specialty. ”

"Your profession is only applicable to your original world, and in this world, there is another person who still has professional strengths to play, and the human beings in this world are basically the same as you in terms of structure. ”

"I'll help if there's a need, and it's better not to have to. Li Ben said.

"Don't worry, there's magic, it's more convenient than yours. Zhou Haomiao was a little sour.

"Hmm. ”

Aita didn't forget to get down to business: "After you set out, the hunters will teach you how to use your abilities, tell you important tips for surviving in the outside world, I can reveal some to you, don't try to go toe-to-toe with the forces of chaos or those monsters, even if your abilities are strong, there are always more powerful Chaos than you." On the way, I will also teach you the universal language of the world so that you can communicate with each other. ”

"It seems that there will not be any free time. Zhou Haomiao sighed.

"A moment of leisure is likely to be a weakness that will kill you in the future. ”

"Don't be so pessimistic at the beginning. ”

"I'm just reminding you that the world is not naïve. ”

During the period when the two were poor, Li Ben carefully observed everything around him.

The hunter's dwelling was isolated from the general population, and there were very few people moving around. It should be to prevent someone from being corrupted by chaos and destroying it on a large scale, and with other hunters present, it can be effectively stopped.

They use a wide variety of weapons, including firearms, grenades, and even bazookas, and the hunters are not really medieval antiques. But the most commonly used are those cold weapons engraved with strange runes.

Silver items are the most common, supposedly because they are necessary to deal with mythical creatures, or other better alternatives. There is no reason for the mystical principles involved.

The greatest threat to humanity in this world is not those mythical creatures, people are not afraid of what is known, and the most capable of destroying the human mind and will is always the fear of the unknown. Since humans are now the most valuable prey in this world, and they live in hiding, they are extremely scarce in the means to explore this world and study and understand chaotic creatures.

Everything that is known now is based on the exchange of life and blood, and even souls for knowledge.

In order to cultivate a Chaos Hunter, in addition to having the soul power that can resist the erosion of Chaos, you must also obtain enough knowledge and training, which involves one of the largest human organizations in this world, the Navigator Organization.

This group is humanity's largest existing military force against Chaos. It also has the functions of co-ordinating, guiding, organizing, and protecting human tribes. It can be understood as the government of mankind in this world.

The original Chaos Hunters of each tribe were born from this organization, and they were responsible for selecting and nurturing more Chaos Hunters in each tribe to form a complete inheritance chain.

It is said that half of the organization's ten founders are from other worlds, and as such, they have the most knowledge about visitors from the other world, and even know their own abilities better than those from other worlds.

There are very few visitors from the other world who can grow up in this world, because most of them will die when they first come.

Li Ben and the others are lucky, most of the people from the other world who came to this world can't go far at all, can't meet or wait for the rescue of the human tribes in this world, and they die directly after encountering various terrifying and weird threats on the way.

Even these two are because the unknown power in their bodies took effect early, so they can survive and are qualified to talk about the future.

Leave the underground cavern and set off a week later.

It's a sci-fi giant city beyond imagination, and it used to be called Genent. Every building in the city is at least a kilometer high, all the buildings are beyond the clouds, there are various design forms, and in the original world, there are many wonders. The strength and design sophistication of these building materials are far beyond the comprehension of humans today.

The city's energy comes from the destruction of matter, the first form of energy supply is contact with antimatter, and the second form of energy supply is controlled nuclear fusion. From heat to electricity, power plants are no longer using the inefficient method of boiling water. Due to the high degree of intelligence of the urban system, some intelligent automatic machines are still operating normally.

"After the Great Collapse, the refining of antimatter could no longer be done, not because there was no technology, but because the original method did not work. In addition, whether it is nuclear fusion or nuclear fission, the energy emitted after mass loss is greatly reduced, only less than half of the previous one, and it may not even be possible to carry out a chain reaction in a zone with severe chaos infection. After a long period of chaos, humanity's top technological theories have been lost, but even if they are found now, it will be useless. Aita said on the way.

"Stop!" the front team passed the order on.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Haomiao asked.

"Boom, boom!" There was a shocking loud sound in the sky, and as the earth continued to tremble, everyone experienced a five-magnitude earthquake experience.

In the distance, through the gaps between the city's high-rise buildings, Li Ben saw the debris of buildings falling from the sky, stirring up sandstorm-like dust on the ground. The dust was flooded by the air blast towards the long snake-shaped team of more than 300 people, and for a moment, people's vision was obscured by yellow sand, and the visibility was less than two meters.

After about half an hour, the sand and dust gradually thinned out, and the visibility rose to twenty meters, and the order to continue marching was heard ahead.

Instead of horses or cars, people were transported in simple trailers made of two electric wheels and a long wooden plank. The Tribe's source of electricity is a small controllable nuclear fusion generator, a 2,000-year-old antique.

Through the yellow sand, you can faintly see the bright spots of the sun hanging in the sky, and the world is colored orange and red.

Along with Li Ben is the strongest Chaos Hunter in this tribe, Jeffrey, who is also his and Zhou Haomiao's instructor. The other hunters are evenly spaced in different positions on the team.

"Keep up, don't get lost, no one will look for you in a place like this. An informative shout rang out from the crowd.

"Why don't you just live in these cities? Not all houses are broken. Zhou Haomiao wondered.

"It seems that you have not yet understood the meaning of chaos, the collapse of that tall building is not the decay caused by disrepair, each of these megastructures is designed to have a life span of tens of thousands of years, and what can make them disintegrate into blocks and fall off is by no means a normal force. And... Forget it, you'll understand later. Aita explained.

"What... So why are we here?"

"The Navigator Organization has a branch here, and we are here to find them, to inform them of the failure of the settlement, and to move on to the next suitable place to live under their arrangement, as well as to exchange information, trade items, and so on. ”

"Do I need to report where I live?"

"Of course, if something important happens, if there is something important to be notified, the messengers of other tribes or navigators will follow the map of the settlement. Each tribe will have access to the location of the other tribes in the vicinity, and the most complete distribution of settlements will be in the hands of the Navigator organization. ”

"Wouldn't that be too dangerous? Wouldn't it be a pot if an enemy who could read the map got it?"

"We don't make physical maps, all the information is in the brain, and it's hypnotically and magically encrypted. ”

"That's... It's unexpected. ”

After another hour or so, the line stopped again.

This time, it was a group of men in black who surrounded the entire tribe's ranks, wearing masks, skeletons, demons, white-faced smiles, and weeping clowns.

"They are all people from the Navigator Organization, wait a little bit, the Prophet is handing them over, and when that's done, we'll go into a sanctuary somewhere to stay for a short time. ”

The Vault is also underground, under the ruins of a building that has completely collapsed. The entrance is driven by magic, but it does not seem abrupt in such a majestic city full of futuristic technology, because the extreme of technology is no different from magic.

Shortly after entering the shelter, Li Ben and the others were called away to meet with the head of the Navigator Branch.

In the white office, there are no other superfluous ornaments except for tables, chairs and people. The Prophet, dressed in a fur coat, looked like an indigenous person, conversing indoors with another man in black.

"Are there so many? But I only predicted two, and the old man thought it was a good harvest. ”

"The scale of this advent is greater than any other time in history, close to 300,000 people in aid, even if they die at the beginning of seventy or eighty percent, there are tens of thousands of talents who can be cultivated. ”

"But does that mean that the situation is not optimistic, or is it about to reach its limit?"

"The human population on this planet has been declining, and last year there were fewer than 200 million people. ”

"If this continues, sooner or later the world will be completely eroded by chaos, can't we rely on ourselves?"

"It seems that God does not have much faith in us. ”

Li Ben and Zhou Haomiao's lingua franca is not very good, and when the instructor Jeffrey teaches them on weekdays, it is still translated by Aita. Standing in the office this time, the prophet naturally didn't understand a word of the conversation between the prophet and the man in black.

The Prophet beckoned to them, signaling them to come closer.

"Chinese?" the man in black said in Chinese, much better than the prophet.

The two nodded.

The man in black took off his golden mask, revealing a yellow-skinned middle-aged face, and said, "My father is a person from your world and a Chinese. My Chinese name is Wu Zhihe. ”

"Oh, that's... There's a coincidence... Hehe..."Zhou Haomiao said with a smile.

Lee Ben didn't react at all.

"Actually, it's not a coincidence, there are a lot of half-breed people like me in our organization. ”

"Are there any people from our world who have ever come and are alive?" asked Li Ben.

Wu Zhihe replied: "Now it is basically gone, it has been 100 years since the last collective arrival, although you have received a gift from the world, but this will not increase your lifespan, my father Wu Shuowen died when I was twenty years old." This world is full of murderous machines, and being able to live and sleep forever can be regarded as the best ending. During this period, there were a few time-travelers, the most recent of which was more than ten years ago, and those few did not survive until now. ”

Li Ben said, "Understood. What do you want us to do?"

"In a nutshell, it's all about understanding, registering and advising. Your name is Li Ben, and you should have some kind of strong self-healing ability, I heard that you were a doctor before you came, as the saying goes, it is difficult for a doctor to heal himself, and having such an ability can be regarded as compensating for a shortcoming. The other has the ability to transform itself into a spirit-like being. Am I right?"

"That's right. ”

"But actually, what is your ability, exactly, and what is its limit? In this way, if you want to grow yourself, you have to waste a lot of time just figuring out your abilities. I have come to you to help you quickly understand the gift you have received. ”

"How?"

"Your power is independent of chaos and order, and we call it 'Corrective Power,' a privileged power given by this world. Although it is said to be independent, his essential purpose is to restore order and expel chaos, so that in contact with order, that is, conventional means, there can be a good fit, and at worst, nothing bad will happen. As long as you are willing to cooperate, in these two days, we will have to use mental hypnosis to develop your abilities, and we will soon know its true face. ”

"I see. And after that?"

"We'll then be putting your abilities into a database and providing you with a pass card that gives you free access to the Navigator Division's shelters. ”

"Okay, I agree. Li Ben was very crisp, because he saw in Wu Zhihe's eyes that there was no refusal.

"Uh... I also agree. Zhou Haomiao agreed.

"You've been running around for a long time, so you should be tired. So the test starts tomorrow, after breakfast time, someone will come looking for you, you can leave first. Wu Zhihe said.

The next day, they were approached by a man in black, who was wearing a mask, but her voice and figure showed that she was a woman.

"You can call me a canary. "The people who come to the handover naturally know how to communicate in Chinese.

"Is this your code name?" Zhou Haomiao asked.

"No, that's my name. ”

"Are you also half-blooded?"

"You guessed it wrong, I just learned more. ”

"Well..."

Zhou Haomiao's technique of chatting with women is very rusty, but it is better than Li Ben, who is speechless.

Li Ben's high school and college are completely unpopular, and his always taciturn appearance naturally does not attract the attention of others. And he himself has no interest in learning how to deal with women. So much so that he remained single and was a poor virgin.

The two were taken to a large, separate and empty room, measuring about 100 square meters. It is arranged in the style of a library, with a coffee table and two rows of sofas in the middle, where a woman in a white suit sits.

She wears glasses, and her face has an intellectual and heroic beauty, like a strong woman in the workplace.

"This is—" The man in black tried to introduce them, but the man in white interrupted her with a wave of his hand.

"I'll do it myself. The man in black exited the room.

"My name is Maria, Maria George, and my father is an Englishman of your world. ”

"Hello, I'm Zhou Haomiao. ”

"I'm Ben Lee. ”

"I know you. Have a seat. Mary made them a cup of tea and said, "Relax, I will not do you any terrible scientific experiments, and the best way to know your own abilities is not how I inquire, but whether you can see your own hearts, I am only a guide." ”

"Seeing our own hearts, does that have anything to do with our abilities?"

"Of course. The gift of the world is not to give you a specific ability, but what He wants is the possibility in you. To put it bluntly, the abilities you gain are the choices of your subconscious, soul's will, and it is a bit inaccurate to say that you have made a choice, but you should say that you have 'created'. You should have heard that there are many visitors from other worlds like you, who did not have the ability to awaken them in the first place, resulting in a particularly high rate of premature death after you enter this world. This is due to their lack of a strong will of the soul. ”

"Isn't the will of the soul our thoughts?"

"The mind can be easily shaped by the outside world, but the soul cannot be willed. My father told me the story of World War II, and in the genocide of the Nazi genocide in Germany, there were still a few people like Oskar Schindler who were not influenced by ideology. Of course, there is no good or evil right or wrong in the soul will, in words we can understand, the strength of the soul will determines the sixth sense, determines whether your mind can better fit into the nature of this world, determines whether you can not be affected by wrong thoughts, and it is reflected in your self-control against instinctive desires. ”

"It's a bit vague, but I seem to understand something. Although it is not clear, it is very powerful, this is Zhou Haomiao's intuitive feeling.

"What do you do exactly?" said he consistently said in a way that went straight to the heart of the matter.

"Later, with me, I will use hypnotism to bring you into the world of your own will. From the past information, we know that people who have not developed their own abilities, when they enter the world of will, will see a golden ocean, and those of you who have awakened their abilities will see more specific images, someone, something, and everything, it is possible, these people and things will often give you a puzzle, solve this puzzle, you can know the truth of your ability, and even be able to grow. ”

"Let's get straight to it. ”

"Don't worry, I need to know more about you until then, and I'll give you some hints for bystanders as you solve the puzzle. ”

"In other words, we have to talk a little longer, right?" Zhou Haomiao shrugged.

"Yes. ”

So the three of them talked all morning, and the formal hypnosis was postponed until after lunch.
