Chapter 25: All-Knowing

Am I really just Inhuman?

The old liar's face changed a little when he heard this question, and this seemingly easy question to answer made him a little embarrassed, because he knew very well that Chen Xian's question was only on the surface, and what Chen Xian wanted to ask was the question hidden under this question.

Am I really human?

"Of course." The old liar replied quietly, speaking without leaking, and his facial expression did not change in the slightest while answering, "There are all kinds of strange people in this world, and it is not strange to have a person like you, don't you think you are talented?" ”

Chen Xian frowned, feeling that this answer sounded weird, and it always seemed that something was wrong.

"Is it hard to accept your true side? Is it hard for you to face that talented self who was born with a protagonist template? The old liar shook the ashes of his cigarette, leaned forward slightly, and looked at Chen Xian very seriously and seriously, "You have to believe in yourself, and you have to believe in your grandfather Ge, you are an alien, and you are a ...... in the alien world."

"A freak in a million?" Chen Xian asked curiously.

The corner of the old liar's mouth twitched, and he only felt that Chen Xian, the rabbit cub, was so sad!

"All in all, you're a fucking genius!" The old liar slapped Chen Xian's shoulder heavily, half venting and half encouraging, which made Chen Xian feel painful, "God let you have these talents, there must be a reason for it, and you will understand it in the future." ”

"How do I feel like you're pouring me chicken soup?" Chen Xian looked at the old liar suspiciously.

"How can it be chicken soup to tell the truth?" The old liar was displeased, took two puffs of cigarette, there was a faint nervousness on his old and withered face, and before Chen Xian could ask anything, he diverted the topic, "What you are most curious about is the thing in your body?" ”

Hearing this, Chen Xian couldn't help but nod, because this question had been bothering him for too long.

According to his own feelings, the awakening from his body is not like a spirit or other life, but a little similar to the mental illness of split personality, like a consciousness hidden deep in his heart...... That devastating consciousness was not something he could accept, but it was also not something he could resist.

Once that thing recovered, Chen Xian would lose control of his body in an instant.

"You had that thing when you were born." The old liar said, smoking faster, his wrinkled face reflected in the flickering light of the fire, and his voice was a little lower, "Are you curious where it came from?" ”

"Yes." Chen Xian nodded.

"It's not that this question can't be answered, but I really don't know the answer, I still wonder how can there be such a powerful energy in your body......." The old liar's expression when he spoke was not like a joke, looking at Chen Xian seemed to be very emotional, "But the only thing that is certain is that that thing was on you when you were born." ”

Chen Xian looked at the old liar in a daze and asked.

"Where the hell am I from?"

The old liar took a puff of his cigarette, then snuffed out the cigarette butt and threw it into the ashtray, his eyes did not make contact with Chen Xian.

"Your grandfather didn't tell you?"

Chen Xian nodded and shook his head, his grandfather did talk to him about his life experience, but now that so many things have happened, Chen Xian can't help but doubt his grandfather's statement, because judging from the current situation, his grandfather Chen Ba, the old liar Ge Ci, and even Lao Zhou...... All three of them should have known all those secrets, and they had known about it a long time ago, but they had kept it a secret from themselves.

"Floating from the sea." Said the old liar.

"What about my parents?" Chen Xian asked without raising his head, looking at his hands as if in a daze, "You really haven't found them?" ”

The old liar snorted, and replied without changing his face: "I really haven't found it, if we find it, we will definitely tell you, and we don't know much about your background." ”

Hearing this, Chen Xian raised his head and glanced at the old liar, as if he didn't want to continue the topic, because he could faintly feel that the old liar was perfunctory to him.

There are a lot of things they should know...... But why not tell yourself?

Chen Xian couldn't figure it out.

"What more do you want to ask?" The old crook looked at him with a smile.

"Have you ever seen this pattern?"

Chen Xian said suddenly, and took out a crumpled note from his pocket, on which was a certain "totem" that he had drawn by relying on his memory, a pattern of seven human palms stacked on top of each other.

Although Chen Xian did not know the specific meaning of this pattern, he also speculated a certain possibility through analysis.

This pattern should be a symbolic totem of a certain organization, it first appeared in the Wushan Mental Hospital, that is, the place where he first saw Mu He, through some clues in the mental hospital, it can basically be determined..... Mu He is inextricably linked to that organization.

Mu He has an identity nameplate of that organization, and he also has a similar identity nameplate, so it is very likely that he is related to that organization...... In other words, my background has a lot to do with that organization.

Ever since he learned about that organization, Chen Xian had always been curious about what kind of organization it was.

As far as the current country is concerned, no one knows about their existence on the surface, and there is no information about them on the Internet, and the only channel that can know their information is in the Secret Bureau.

On the first day of joining the Ningchuan Branch, Chen Xian tried to search for relevant information on the internal network, after all, his internal authority was still relatively high, and even the information known to the group of people under Huo Fatzi could not be unqualified, but he searched by keywords for a long time, and he still couldn't find any answers on the internal network...... This phenomenon made Chen Xian very surprised, could it be that the keywords about that organization were blocked within the Secret Bureau?

Chen Xian also thought about whether to ask the people around him, and getting information from other people was one thing, but after thinking about it, he didn't choose the object of "consultation" in the end.

After going through the special case in the south of the city, he also had a new plan and was ready to ask Lu Yisheng, but he was too busy during that time, and it didn't take long for another case to be pressed into his hands...... So it's been delayed until now.

Chen Xian thought very clearly.

Since even the members of the Secret Bureau knew that information, then the old liar Ge Ci must also know it, and it is very likely that he knows more than the ordinary members.

"This pattern ......" The old liar frowned and looked at Chen Xian with a complicated expression, "Didn't you just ask me some time ago?" I remember giving you the answer at the time. ”

"I want to hear the truth." Chen Xian looked at the old liar with a calm face, as if he had already guessed that he would give this reply, "Grandpa Ge, even if you don't tell me, sooner or later I will be able to seek answers through other channels, you should know how many people in the Secret Bureau have seen this." ”

The old liar fell silent and lit another cigarette without saying a word.

"It's a totem." Said the old liar.

"I know." Chen Xian nodded, seeing that the old liar began to loosen his mouth, his expression couldn't help but relax, "This should be the totem of a certain organization, right?" ”

The old liar snorted, not quite wanting to answer the question.

"What's that organization called?" Chen Xian asked again, looking at the old liar intently, "What are they doing?" ”

Hearing Chen Xian's last question, the old liar was silent for a long time, until he finished smoking the freshly lit cigarette, and then he opened his mouth and asked Chen Xian.

"Do you know what each of these seven hands represents?"

"I don't know." Chen Xian shook his head.

The old liar picked up the note with the totem drawn, put it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully, as if he had recalled some of the past, his eyes became both distant and dignified, this kind of expression like a great enemy, Chen Xian had not seen it on the old liar's face for a long time.

"Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics, Geoscience, Biology, Astronomy, Theology."

The old liar replied thoughtfully, looking at the totem on the paper that was too ripe to be cooked, and his voice became a little hoarse, as if he had smoked too much, and began to cough.

"What do these seven hands represent?" Chen Xian was stunned for a moment, and expressed surprise at the answer given by the old liar.

"They are an ancient giant international organization, founded much earlier than the Yin City, and the Secret Bureau was established after them, and they not only have Inhumans within them, but also support many anomalous beings......"

The old liar said slowly, and gently placed the piece of paper on the tea table.

"In fact, the purpose of an organization like the Secret Bureau or the Yin City is very pure, either to maintain peace and protect the lives and property of ordinary people, and to prevent those innocent people from being harmed by anomalies, or just like us, to provide a shelter for those anomalous lives and a legal underground trading place for strangers......

"What is the purpose of their existence?" Chen Xian asked.

The old liar smiled and said, "It is not so much the end as the supreme purpose, the creed of life." ”

As soon as the words fell, the old liar sat down and leaned back, and it seemed that he was much more comfortable with his back completely pressed against the chair.

"Their tenet is to bring modern science to the extreme, to make the ethereal theology and spirituality a remnant of history, and these people do not respect ghosts and gods and do not believe in ghosts and gods......"

"They're the know-it-all."
