Chapter 22: Dark Awakening I

Compared to the shabby Tigri town, the Maldai city of Arunki, another country on the continent of Anzhou, can be described as extremely luxurious. As a member of the Ambras League, Aaron is known for being one of the best social welfare companies in the world. Maldives is one of the most prosperous cities in Alunchi, with a population of about 8 million. There is a saying that the best way to hide a tree is to hide it in the woods. Again, the best way to hide the three is to hide them in a group.

Time came to a night in the spring of 134 New Year. Third-graders at Angela Township High School in Maldives have just finished school. They face the test of going on to higher education, and they have to attend classes late every day. The teachers of each subject were afraid that they would forget that the exam was coming, and they assigned a lot of homework before they could leave class with peace of mind. It was already half past eight when the first student walked out of the school gate.

The students were listless, but Dimmit looked relaxed. Picking up his bag, he walked lightly past a group of students who walked with their arms down. He completed all his homework while studying on his own, and he was able to rest well when he got home.

"You're so spirited." A classmate said enviously.

"Haha, people used to say that, maybe I was born with more vitality than others." Dimmit replied with a smile.

"If you want me to say, the secret is not in your right eye. I've seen that kind of anime, like some people wearing blindfolds, and what secrets are hidden in the back of their eyes. ”

"It's so exaggerated, see you tomorrow."

Dimmit's home is not far from the school, just a few minutes away. On the way, he gradually slowed down, touched the position of his right eye, and his hand touched a leather blindfold, and Dimmit was not in a relaxed mood. Since childhood, the eye patch has been there, and the size gradually increases as the body grows, but it is always black to block the bright color.

He had also plucked up the courage to take off his blindfold in the mirror, and what he saw was an abnormal eye. The eyeballs, which were originally white, turned black and blended with the pupils. No, the pupils are not like this, they are black without any luster at all, as if they were an abyss. Dimmit was scared at first, but then he got used to it. My father said that it was a natural condition for him and that there was no cure, so he had to wear an eye patch so as not to frighten others.

At first, Dimmit was receptive to that statement. But as he grew older, especially after learning a lot in school, Dimmit gradually questioned this "disease". He looked up a lot of information, trying to find the cause, or similar cases, but found nothing.

"I'm back."

In the residential area in the southwest corner of the town, there were four bungalows next to each other, and Dimmit pushed open the small door of one of them and spoke into the house. Out of the kitchen came a smiling Selia.

"I'm back, I'm going to eat soon, let's go wash my hands first."

Although Dimmit came back late every day, Selia and Poval insisted on waiting for him to get home before eating. Dimiit walked to the bathroom, and when he passed by the living room, he saw his father sitting on the couch watching TV, which was playing current news. Recalling his classmate's words, Dimmit changed course and turned into the living room.

"Dimmit? What's wrong? Poval saw him and asked.

After standing for a while, Dimmit still couldn't ask. It's not that he doesn't dare, it's that it's useless to ask, he's asked a long time ago I don't know how many times, and his father disappoints him every time he answers - it's innate.

"It's okay, Dad."

As Dimmit walked out, Poire noticed that his son touched the blindfold with his hand. That was what Poval had left him, or rather, had to leave to him.

*****

It's a hard time to be on the run. Leaving Tigria, Poval's first thought was to flee to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. The family secretly crossed the border of the Alendar and headed south to the coastal country of Manka. Here they fled for a month, temporarily escaped the pursuit of the executors, and boarded the plane to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. However, after living in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia for less than a year, Sato came to the door, and Poval had to move again. He ran 22 of the 45 provinces in the territory of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. Wandering for up to three years.

Three years later, Beauval was again in hiding. This time he chose Arunchi, and boldly let his wife take Dimiit first, while he wandered around several other countries, leaving many trails and causing problems for Sato's tracking. Half a year later, he traveled to Arunqi to meet his wife. The family found a small village to hide. Lived there for a year and moved to settle in the current town of Angela.

During his escape, Beauval met with Sato several times. He personally led the team just to see Dimmit die with his own eyes. Sato's persistence made Poval's heart waver. After all, Sato is an Omenist approved by the Presbyterian Church, maybe he did spot the anomaly, just because Dimmit was still too young to be obvious enough? The unscrupulous falsification of quarantine results seems to illustrate this point.

Beauval believed in Martin and in his son, but Sato's words and the shadow of the curse still lingered in his heart. People will grow and change, and this is especially true for super people, and the energy in the body will be enhanced by the growth of power elements. At that point, there is no 100% certainty that Dimmit will not become an Adept.

So, the father made up his mind to eliminate all instability and make Dimiit an ordinary person. Soon after moving to Angela, he inquired in many ways and finally found a Banderu who knew how to seal.

The so-called sealing is to control the flow of energy in the body by surgically compressing the power element so that it cannot function normally. However, even if active EXP is not actively used, it will automatically accumulate in the body, so it is also necessary to choose an organ as an "outlet" of energy to avoid excessive accumulation and affect health. This outlet is to be wrapped in something, an item made with a specific EXP mixture material. If the energy seeps out, it will be blocked at the outlet and released in small amounts. There is only one price: the organ that is the outlet will completely lose its original function.

After much consideration, Poval let Dimit undergo the sealing technique, and the exit was Dimmit's right eye, when Dimit was only six years old.

If a superpowered person is not aware of his identity since he was a child and does not activate his power, after a long time, the power element will gradually shrink, which is exactly the purpose of Poval. He hid Kharuf's surname and let Dimiit live in an ordinary family and grow up to be an ordinary person. Now, this plan is being implemented smoothly.

However, after all, the power element is still there, so Dimmit still has feelings, such as some disobedience in his brain, discomfort, and sudden impulses all over his body, as if there is an air flow in his right eye that wants to erupt, etc., these feelings are becoming more and more frequent. Whenever Dimmit asked, Poval responded vaguely.

He knew that one day, he would have to tell Dimmit the truth, but that was okay. Dimmit is 18 years old and has yet to mobilize power, which means that he will not be able to do it on his own in the future. That way, even if there is a curse, there is no need to worry.

After dealing with Dimmit's side, Poval tried to find out the news of his hometown. Five years ago, he got a chance. There was a merchant in the town who was preparing to go to Alendar on his way. With the size of the Al-Daldal, even if you don't stop by the road, there is no big problem in going to Tigry. Beauval had a good relationship with the merchant, and the merchant agreed that Gilger would help him find a man named Martin and ask him what he wanted to know.

A year later, the merchant returned to Angela and handed Martin's letter to Beauval. The letter said that the Council of Elders had identified the problem with the energy quarantine and that it was related to Sato. Although it was not publicly announced, many people knew that it was Sato who caused the riot.

Poval breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the letter, it was impossible for the Council of Elders to admit its mistake readily, at most it would stop hunting and killing itself, and that would be enough. The following year, he contacted Martin again and asked him to bring back his father's ashes. He buried his ashes in the backyard, erected a tombstone, and took his family to hold a funeral that was many years late, which was considered his last thought.

*****

April 15 was a Monday, and because the entrance exams were coming up a week later, the school only had one morning class. Before the exams, the school no longer arranges the curriculum uniformly, and only some teachers are left on duty. If you have any questions, please feel free to come to the school. In fact, these are for studious students, and other students basically regard this week as the last madness. You must know that after the results are announced, the impact is not something that can be adapted to in a short period of time.

Dimmit's class was over, and everyone packed up their things and walked out of the classroom. Several boys approached Dimmit to lobby him.

"Let's go, Dimmit, go play basketball, add you one, exactly three against three."

"I'm a little hungry, I want to eat first, or I'll come to you after eating." Dimmit replied.

His words surprised the other boy a little. "I promised so happily today, you always say that you go to the teacher to ask questions or something."

"Hehe, it's all this time, and I can't do anything."

Dimmit very much hopes that he can have a good result, otherwise he will always feel that all these years of hard work have been in vain. But he wants to have a good relationship with his classmates, and life on campus is very happy, and this happiness is still a week away. Take it as a reward for your usual hard work, and this week is a good time to relax and prepare for the exam.

The students left the classroom first, leaving Dimmit alone with his school bags. He was the only one left in the class of 40 people. The classroom was quiet, and Dimmit couldn't help but tremble, he had never felt such a quiet classroom, and suddenly he didn't know what to do. Fortunately, the sound of hunger from his abdomen reminded him that it was important to solve the problem of food and clothing first.

Walking out of the teaching building, the figures of the students on the playground caught his eye, playing football, basketball, and couples walking together, discussing where to go after the entrance examination. Dimmit deliberately slowed down, he wanted to enjoy the harmonious atmosphere more. The sun in April is just right, sprinkled on the body warm, at this time lying on the grass to sleep well, it is also a good choice.

Thinking so, Dimmit walked out of the school gate. What to eat? The food street in front of the school offers more than a dozen options, and each store is a regular customer. But I always feel that today is a special day, so let's choose a special one.

So, Dimmit walked out of the street and towards a restaurant on the edge of town.

Walking towards his fate.

*****

Ten minutes later, six middle-aged men stopped between Dimiit and the hotel. When Dimmit appeared in their field of vision, these people who were still passing the time invariably focused their eyes with malice.

Who is this? Dimmit wondered in his heart, but the other party's malice made him stand still. I should have stepped back, but I couldn't move. While he was hesitating, one of them had already walked up, his steps fast and firm, his eyes not taking his eyes off Dimmit at all, staring at him like a hunter who had found his prey. Dimmit didn't know that this person was Sato.

"Dimmit, I haven't seen you for many years, you've grown so tall."

This tone is definitely not a relative greeting you. Sato looked at Dimitt, saw the blindfold, and guessed what it was for.

"I see, sealing. But it didn't work at all. It is useless not to take more effective measures. ”

Measure? Seal? Dimmit was about to ask, but Sato's hand gave him the answer.

"Die!"

Sato's glowing right fist swept over, and Dimmit subconsciously fell backwards and dodged, looking at Sato in confusion and horror. What was that? Glowing balls? No, it seems to be some kind of energy. Energy? Why do I have such thoughts in my head? Dimmit had a sense of déjà vu about the power, but he didn't have time to confirm it. The person in front of him is going to be a killer, and he can only escape, escape!

Following the instinct to escape, Dimmit crawled to the ground and ran away. Sato and five others were in hot pursuit. Dimmit's speed was even faster, and he found some remote wooded paths to escape, and went straight to his home. At this time, his parents were his only saviors, although he didn't know if his parents could save him.

The sound of wheezing and the wind running filled Dimmit's ears, and he didn't dare to look back, but looked at the road in front of him. The escape lasted more than two minutes, and the familiar row of small houses finally came into view, but then it was not so lucky. There is an open field ahead, and if you want to hide from the enemy in this place, I don't know if it will be as smooth as it was just now. In this case, I had to sprint with all my might.

His idea quickly came to naught. Not long after rushing into the open field, Sato found the right angle to shoot, raised his glowing right hand, and shot a ray of light from the light. Dimmit heard a sharp sound behind him, and before he had time to turn back, he threw himself to the side, the light grazing his left leg, leaving a slight burn, and hitting the ground again, exploding and towing a small piece of dirt.

"Ahh

The leg injury caused Dimmit to lose his balance and roll twice on the ground, clutching his leg non-stop*. The prey could not escape, and the six hunters walked unhurriedly, and Dimmit saw that they were as if death was approaching, and the thought of running away was gone, and all that remained was fear, so fearful that he forgot even the pain.

"Why? Why do I have to die......"

"When you understand that it's too late, if you don't die, I'll ......"

Before Sato could finish his sentence, a man's roar and a whistling light bullet were heard from the side. Sato jumped backwards with agility, dodging the plot. The familiar voice made him angrier than that.

"Beauvar ......"
