00927 GLOBAL CLEANUP(Part I)
Lou Yuxiao, a 21-year-old resident of Eshingwar, is one of the first new humans born through modified genes, and her physical data far exceeds that of ordinary people.
These data mainly include: appearance, height, physical fitness, reaction speed, logical thinking ability, spatial cognitive ability and immunity.
With these innate wealth, Lou Yuxiao became the most special resident on this street.
However, she can't reveal her secrets to the public, because that would lead to death, after all, the modified gene is still a forbidden area that violates the bottom line of human morality, especially for ordinary people, which will exacerbate social injustice and rupture the social hierarchy.
And Lou Yuxiao actually only knew that she was so special three years ago, but she didn't feel bothered by it, but enjoyed it very much.
Because in the eyes of everyone, she is a goddess, a darling who is specially cared for by God.
However, the day before Lou Yuxiao was about to celebrate his twenty-second birthday, that is, on the evening of November 31, 149 in the Anno calendar.
Her neighborhood was flooded with heavily armed fighters.
For ordinary people, the armed men who came at night were quiet ghosts, and no one would notice their presence.
However, Lou Yuxiao, who is far beyond ordinary people in the evolution of the body, keenly feels that danger is approaching.
But those people weren't coming at her.
They broke into a house opposite Lou Yuxiao's house.
In less than five minutes, she heard gunshots in the house opposite, and Lou Yuxiao's heart trembled, although she had extremely strong physical fitness, she had never seen a real bloody scene.
Therefore, when she saw the bloodied man breaking through the window and then slamming heavily on the street, Lou Yuxiao was so frightened that she almost lost her mind and screamed.
But the more scared I was, the more curious I became.
Lou Yuxiao leaned on the window and looked at the street.
I saw that the man who jumped from the fourth floor was still trying to get up and escape.
But as soon as he took two steps, he was wrapped in a special restraint device by the armed men, and then the men on the ground disappeared into the night.
Lou Yuxiao was frightened, and the first thing she thought of was to wake up her roommate and notify the police in the area.
However, as soon as she turned around, she saw her roommate hurrying out.
"This? Xiao Ying! Where are you going? ”
The roommate didn't look back, pushed open the door and ran out, but before Lou Yuxiao chased to the door, he heard a gunshot from downstairs, very subtle, but very clear.
Lou Yuxiao's back was cold, and the whole person was stupid.
At the same time, Lou Yuxiao realized that she couldn't call the police, because she told her directly if she called the police...... You may end up with your roommates......
And her instincts have always been accurate...... I just didn't expect it to be used at this time......
……
The next day, Lou Yuxiao, who hadn't slept all night, went downstairs, and she didn't hear her neighbors greet her.
When I came to the street, I didn't see any blood, as if nothing had happened.
Lou Yuxiao stood on the street for a while, and suddenly felt as if a pair of eyes were looking at her, she looked back vigilantly, only to see that the pedestrians were in a hurry, and no one was staring at her.
Coming to the advanced school with anxiety, Lou Yuxiao was thinking about how to explain the disappearance of her roommate.
However...... After the morning class, I didn't care about the disappearance of Lou Yuxiao's roommate, and her science experiment table was also replaced by someone else, as if for a moment, everyone forgot that such a person existed.
Fear, insecurity......
Lou Yuxiao felt that the whole world had become extremely dangerous.
In the evening, Lou Yuxiao went to the small food house where she often worked to take care of stray animals, but found that the store was empty, and the proprietress who usually fought with Si Que in front of the door early was nowhere to be found, but there was a cup of hot coffee on the seat where she usually sat and had not yet drunk it.
Lou Yuxiao thought that the proprietress just had something to do, so she waited in the store.
But until late at night, I didn't see the proprietress come back, and the diners who usually came to eat were gone.
At that moment, Lou Yuxiao had an illusion that she was the only one left in the world, and everyone had disappeared.
Because she was worried about seeing a similar situation again, Lou Yuxiao did not go home this night, but rested in a small room in the store.
Another sleepless night.
Lou Yuxiao couldn't share the cake with her roommates this night, she curled up and hugged herself in fear, feeling that all the happiness and joy were speeding away from her.
It was early in the morning of December 2nd.
There was a knock on the door.
Lou Yuxiao opened the door and saw that it was a middle-aged man wearing a top hat and a classical trench coat.
He carried his cane and asked with a smile, "Excuse me, is this No. 137 Wangye Road?" ”
Lou Yuxiao was stunned for a moment, and then said vigilantly: "Who are you?" ”
The middle-aged man smiled: "My name is Philim, I am a friend of the owner of this shop, and I made an appointment with her to meet today, is she here?" ”
Friend?
Lou Yuxiao didn't think that the extremely pale man in front of him would be a friend of the boss.
"The proprietress is not here, will you come back another day?" Saying that, Lou Yuxiao was about to close the door.
Philim blocked the door with a light touch of his cane, and then his eyes looked behind Lou Yuxiao's shoulder and said, "Little girl, isn't your boss here?" How can you lie? ”
Lou Yuxiao was very irritable in her heart, and was about to exert her strength when she heard this, when she heard a voice from behind her: "Yuxiao, let him come in." ”
Lou Yuxiao was startled, she looked back, wasn't she the boss lady!
However, at this time, the boss's face was as pale as the hostess, but her pale was because of her injury.
……
I closed the door and went to the back room.
The proprietress and Philim sat facing each other, and Lou Yuxiao was boiling tea while preparing some simple snacks.
During the whole process, she found that neither of the two people in the room spoke, and she herself was absent-minded, mainly because there were too many things that had happened in the past two days, and she had a bunch of doubts that needed to be answered.
"Please use tea." Lou Yuxiao looked at this pale-skinned man, and felt uncomfortable in her heart.
When she was about to leave, the proprietress said to Lou Yuxiao: "Yuxiao, you also sit down, I have something to say to you." ”
Lou Yuxiao was a little surprised, but she still sat down obediently.
……
"A lot of strange things have happened outside these days, I'm sure you've noticed it, right?" The proprietress asked Lou Yuxiao.
Lou Yuxiao looked at the proprietress and said, "It's strange enough that you hide it, you still need to go outside to look at it......
But Lou Yuxiao wouldn't say it, she just nodded.
"Then Yuxiao, do you want to know what happened?" The proprietress continued to ask.
Of course Lou Yuxiao wanted to know, but she always felt that the more she knew, the more dangerous it became, but her intuition told her that she had no choice, and it was impossible to leave now.
"Hmm......" Lou Yuxiao could only nod again.
After hearing Lou Yuxiao's affirmative reply, the proprietress was relieved, and she asked Philim: "Sir, can I say it?" ”
Mr? It's the first time Lou Yuxiao has heard someone call each other like this, is he the husband of the boss's wife?
Philim looked at Lou Yuxiao and said, "Since we have to make the truth public sooner or later, it doesn't matter who we tell first. ”
The truth?! What truth?! Isn't the central curtain gone?
Lou Yuxiao really couldn't think of any secrets hidden in this world, but thinking of what she saw and heard that night, she felt that maybe there were indeed some hidden truths that had not been revealed.
After receiving the answer, the proprietress said: "Yuxiao, do you know the 'factor'?" ”
Lou Yuxiao shook her head: "I don't know." ”
"That's right...... So, you think of the 'factor' as a kind of channel that can connect the two worlds, can you understand that? ”
Lou Yuxiao thought about it, a little confused, but she could understand a little, but it was just ......
"Connecting two worlds? Which two worlds? Are we with the world of number order? ”
The proprietress shook her head, then continued: "No, it's Gaia and Earth, now and past. ”
"Huh?"
Subsequently, the proprietress briefly described this connection to Lou Yuxiao.
And Lou Yuxiao finally knew the truth.
It turns out that there have always been a lot of earthlings around her, or rather...... From the souls of the earth's ancestors in the distant past.
They came to this world unintentionally and lived with the help of this world's identity.
At first, every earthlings who came to Gaia across the river of time thought that they were a special case, so they all lived in peace and played a strange role.
Until one day, when the events of the Center Veil were over and some of them came into contact with the Factor, they realized that this was not a special event for the individual, but some kind of non-accidental event that could be larger and hidden behind a larger secret.
So some of them began to look for "kinds" on Gaia.
And the initiators of this search refer to their organization as "AOA", or "True Sight".
Meaning, a person who has a glimpse of the truth of the world.
After decades of development, the "True Vision" has grown stronger, but it is also because of this that the authorities of Gaia have gradually begun to notice this "invasion".
Especially the recent accident has completely exposed this secret.
So they launched a global clean-up, intending to clean up all the souls that had "invaded" from Earth.
The man who jumped off the building that Lou Yuxiao saw that night, as well as her roommate who ran away in a hurry, were among them.
Regardless of whether there is anything wrong with the Glorious Republic's move for the time being, the crisis of the True Sighters has arrived, and if they do not take some effective measures, it is very likely that they will be "dealt with" in a centralized manner.
The result of a better treatment is a custodial management, and the result of a worse treatment is ......
When he heard this, Lou Yuxiao's shock can be imagined.
After clarifying the identities of the two people in front of her, Lou Yuxiao was even more sure that she had no possibility of retreating and pretending not to know.
