Volume 1 The Rise of the Apostles 3.Outliers and Freaks
"Last time you took a general culture test, the results came out. Well, an improvement from last time. Ying Sheng's voice was very soft, as if she was afraid of irritating Luo Wei. However, when she pulled out the test paper from the materials she had put down, well, there was indeed progress - from F to D-.
Ai Shuyin took out an ice cream from the refrigerator next to Luo Wei's living room, sat on the sofa and ate it, her slender white calves swaying back and forth.
"There have also been improvements to the Law of the Administration of the Holy Apostles and the Code of Conduct for the Holy Apostles." Underneath the test paper just now, another test paper was flipped out - C.
"You guy, it's almost the beginning of the summer vacation, and you're still studying so badly, be careful that your Apostolic Academy will expel you this year!" Ai Shuyin licked the cream foam on the corner of her mouth with her tongue and gloated.
"Why don't you go home yet!" Luo Wei's eyes glared at Ai Shuyin. Ai Shuyin also glared back without showing weakness.
"Hey, I'm not going back now, I'm half of Uncle Luo's personal guardian, and I can 'guardian' you at any time!" Ai Shuyin playfully stuck out her tongue at Luo Wei.
Looking at the two who didn't agree and played and quarreled, Yingsheng was also a little helpless.
"Xiao Wei, to be honest, you really have to hurry, the Silver World Apostle Academy has an opening exam every year, your general culture class, and the apostle law course must at least get C+, although failing the grade will not be expelled, but the punishment is still quite severe." Ying Sheng stroked the black hair that fluttered down her ears naughtily, and as she spoke, she selected the materials that today's tutor would first use.
"Oh, okay, Sister Yingying..."Luo Wei had to accept his fate.
"Who told you to go to Wudang Mountain to practice Tai Chi when you were a child, you deserve it, and you fell behind in the five-year course!" Although Ai Shuyin is not a student of the Silver World Apostle Academy, she has a clear understanding of the curriculum of the Apostle Academy. The reason why she knows is precisely because she was asked by Luo Wei's father. In a way, she is indeed half of Rowe's competent guardian.
"I don't remember being a minor being able to be another guardian of a minor." Luo Wei muttered and began to open the study materials that Ying Sheng handed him.
"Yo, I'll talk back to me in French, yes, Rovi!" Although she said just now that she would not leave, seeing that Luo Wei was about to start studying, Ai Shuyin still stood up very sensibly, picked up her gift and walked to the entrance.
Looking at the door that was closed again, Ying Sheng also quipped: "Your little girlfriend really cares about you." ”
"She's not..."Luo Wei raised his head and looked at Ying Sheng, who was smiling, and his face was hot again.
"The Law of the Apostle of the Holy Ability, Book I, Article 10 - Under no circumstances shall the Apostle of the Holy Apostle use his or her own power to harm an ordinary citizen, unless the citizen has committed an act that endangers the personal and property rights of the Apostle of the Holy Apostle."
"Please determine which of the following four situations is in which the Holy Apostle is able to use his or her abilities preferentially (multiple choice) over ordinary citizens according to the 'Special Regulations of the Holy Apostles' - a. The ordinary citizen has the certification of a mortal warrior, and although he has not yet committed a harmful act against the apostle, the mortal warrior is threatening violence and has the possibility of endangering the personal and property rights and interests of the apostle; b. the ordinary citizen is an abomination; c. The ordinary citizen is certified as a mortal warrior and is engaged in a private gambling battle with the Holy Apostle; d. The ordinary citizen is certified as a warrior and is engaged in a lawful and open martial arts match with the apostles. ”
"Hmm... a,b,c,d。 Luo Wei thought for a moment and chosen. However, he didn't notice that Yingsheng, who was watching Luo Wei fill in the options, twitched his soft cheeks.
…
Time flies quickly, and the cool autumn breeze gradually blows away the summer heat.
On September 20, the National Silver Apostolic College opened. Compared to the usual start time of the average civic school around September 5, the summer vacation of the students of the Apostle College cannot be described as just exciting (heartbreaking).
Put on your stud earrings, straighten out your college shirt, flatten the last creases on your silver school pants, lace up your sneakers, and you're good to go!
Since he didn't have to arrive at school at eight o'clock on the first day of school, Luo Wei, who usually traveled with Ai Shuyin when he went to school, had to take the suspension train by himself. The working principle of the suspension train Luo Wei is not very clear, but it has been introduced in popular science books that this kind of suspension train, compared with the first generation of maglev trains manufactured around the beginning of the 21st century, is more than three times faster in speed, and in terms of stability and comfort, it is much more excellent.
Along the way, the people around looked at Luo Wei with very strange eyes, and even - guarded. The silver star symbol on the back of Lovi's shirt and on the chest is the main reason for these glances.
"Hmph." Luo Wei snorted self-deprecatingly. The Holy Apostles, such anomalous people, or rather, such anomalous creatures, appeared on a large scale only around the year 2080. At that time, it was only through a series of catastrophic events that ordinary humans gradually became aware of the existence of such anomalies. And those supernatural disasters that continue to erupt - it is also caused by the apostles. In 2020, the terrible things done by those 101 explorers officially began to trigger the entire human population - deeper exploration, and all-round vigilance.
At the entrance of the station, two homeless men with mud stains and greasy hair were sitting on the ground, holding two signs in their hands - "Apostle, get out of the human world!" "Alien! Sinner! ”。
Seeing that Luo Wei was gradually approaching the entrance of the station, one of them had disgust in his eyes. "Fruit stealer! Sinners who bring calamity! With a swearing roar, he escorted Rowe into the station.
Rowe sat in the soft and comfortable seat, and in the car, he was silent.
At a very young age, he had seen older children who were a few years older than himself and wore the uniform of the Apostolic College suffer from similar situations. Perhaps, it is precisely because I want to escape these, plus... The reason for the problem with your own inheritance is that you will hide in the mountains... Fortunately, the master still accepted me, otherwise, maybe I would have been experiencing this mess for five or six years... Rowe thought as he looked out the window.
"Why don't you apply for a six-day-a-week boarding house, it's really annoying." Luo Wei thought suddenly.
"But... Even in the academy, with my own situation, I guess it's not much better..."
…
In about ten minutes, the suspension train had already arrived at the edge of Yanjing City, which was the location of the Silver Apostle Academy. "I've been here for almost two years, and this year is the third year." Luo Wei looked at the huge silver star ring school gate and thought silently.
"Yo, look, it's the 'Fan Wu' freak apostle of the intermediate F class!" As soon as they approached the school gate, the students who arrived at the school in a private hovering car once again focused their eyes on Luo Wei.
"It's just a betrayal of us, knowing that mortal warriors are almost our mortal enemies!"
"There's no way, whoever let him so far, he hasn't activated the 'Divine Tree Gene Signal' in his 'soul gene'. He's not an apostle at all! ”
"Genetic signals still need to be excited? Although we couldn't overuse it when we were children due to the limitations of our bodies, the holy energy in the 'soul gene' must be there! ”
"Who knows, after all, he's a freak, and he's not like us!"
…
The "soul gene" is the way in which the Holy Apostles carry out their transmission. Through the inheritance of genes within the soul, the offspring apostles are able to obtain the genetic power of the previous apostles.
The "Divine Tree Gene" is inherited by the Holy Energy Apostles through the form of "Soul Gene" - the basic "Soul Energy State" substance; The "Divine Tree Gene Signal" is a means by which the apostles diffuse and use the information of the Holy Energy Gene in the "Divine Tree Gene" in the form of signals.
…
"Heh," Luo Wei laughed at himself helplessly when he heard the voice of his own discussion at the gate of the campus, "What about the freaks in the aliens, really..."
"Let's make it!" A majestic voice came from behind Rowe.
"Bang!" Rowe almost got knocked over.
Rowe looked up and saw a shadow blocking the sunlight in front of him.
The man didn't look back at Rowe, as if he hadn't hit anything just now.
Luo Wei frowned, looking at the tall boy's distant back, a little displeased with the other party's rudeness.
"Front, get out of the way!" Just as Luo Wei was looking ahead, a female voice came from behind him, and that voice was a little familiar to Luo Wei...
Rowe turned his head just in time to meet the eyes of the voice's owner.
"It's you?!" Rowe and the girl spoke in unison.
Luo Wei rolled his eyes, tucked his trouser pockets, turned his head and left.
"Damn!" The girl is the one who impressed Luo Wei some time ago - that rude hot and tall girl. At this time, she went straight to the campus without wearing a school uniform. She followed behind Rowe, gritting her teeth as she wanted to tear Rowe apart.
The eyes on both sides of the crowd were attracted by Luo Wei's back, both men and women.
"Who is that, why haven't I seen it before, it's so beautiful! Mom, no, I'm in early love! ”
"She's not wearing a school uniform, she looks like she just transferred to another school, right?"
Luo Wei couldn't stand the crooked sounds behind him, and turned his head sharply.
"Can you please not follow me?!" Luo Wei was a little annoyed, he was very bad at being teased by various things in the morning, and now he broke out, and he yelled at the hot woman.
The girl was stunned for a moment, and then her eyebrows were upside down. "I'm going this way too, okay, what's in your way?! Weird! Moreover, what do you want to do when you break in the uniform of the Apostle Academy, a mortal warrior? Provocation? Kick the gym?! ”
was scolded by the hot girl, but Luo Wei calmed down a little. He realized that he was at fault in the first place.
"Forget it, it's my fault, I'm sorry." Luo Wei stared at the girl calmly, then turned to leave.
The hot woman seems to feel a punch on the cotton again. The expression on her face is not angry, nor is she laughing, and a delicate urban female face seems to be tangled into twists.
"You... Neurotic! The hot woman pouted and scolded angrily.
She wanted to stay away from the plague god in the opposite direction, but found that her destination was still in the same direction that Luo Wei had left, so she had to pull away in anger and continue to hang behind Luo Wei.
…
Luo Wei rinsed his face with water in the bathroom to completely stabilize his emotions.
"Calm down, Rowe. Tai Chi Mind Method - Pranayama and stop qi, turn yin to yang; Defend the martial spirit and abide by the gate of heaven. Luo Wei closed his eyes and recited the key to the Tai Chi Gate in front of the mirror three times, and the whole person finally calmed down completely.
The mental method is not a magical thing, its function is ordinary, and it is not ordinary—it is to allow ordinary warriors to regulate their mental state and achieve a certain balance in the process of meditation and understanding.
The balance of the mind may be a calm balance, a balance of anger, or a balance of yin and evil. Each sect, and the various mental methods within the sect, have a different effect, not just to calm anger. Some sects need to adjust their anger to the best state - not only not to harm their own body, but also to give full play to the fierceness of their sect's martial arts moves; Some sects need to achieve the best of yin and evil intentions, so that the mood of ordinary warriors is not too gloomy and depressed, but they can maximize the tricky and fickleness of the sect's moves.
