Chapter 243: Skye's Talent
This small village of Inhumans is located at high altitudes, with almost no roads. As a result, Gordon's teleportation ability was the only way to get in and out.
Rorschach had always thought it was foolish to put his eggs in one basket, and if anything happened to the eyeless Inhuman, even if it was just a cold for a few weeks, the place would be in danger of running out of food.
However, although Rorschach complained like this, this place was indeed secret enough, as if it were isolated from the world.
In the same way, this kind of isolated place, once there is any change, it is not easy for the rulers of this world to notice.
For example, a giant spatial passage that suddenly appears.
Above the snow-capped mountains, there was a sudden tremor. The snow covering the mountains was about to move, and it seemed that there was a danger of an avalanche. But in the belly of the mountain, a hollow hole with a diameter of hundreds of meters was suddenly hollowed out.
A bone-chilling current erupted from the cavern, instantly piercing through the mountain walls, freezing the crumbling snow into ice.
The avalanche stopped, and a thin layer of snowflakes covered the ice, and no one could see what had changed.
Although there are many talented people in the Inhuman race, no one has noticed this slight change at this time, because everyone is preparing for Skye's bloodline evolution ceremony.
Unlike mutants, Inhumans can activate their talents through a special ritual, and the success rate is almost 100%, which is much more convenient than mutants.
It's just that this ritual is fatal to people who don't have Inhuman blood.
And the awakening of every alien is a very important event, and it usually takes a very long time to investigate and evaluate to confirm that the person's personality and experience are enough to control their special abilities.
This is more rigorous than the free-range savage growth of mutants, and it can also enhance the cohesion of the race.
Although Skye is Jiaying's daughter, various audits and tests in the early stage cannot be exempted, at most it can only be regarded as a queue, which has improved the efficiency of the procedure a lot.
Even so, Skye's relationship with Jiaying is only known to a few people.
The leadership system of the Inhumans has a lot of merits, compared to a plate of scattered mutants, it is no wonder that the small number of people can continue to this day, and even the cultural inheritance of ancient times has not been broken.
This time, instead of closing his eyes, Rorschach focused on Skye's evolutionary ritual. Although Ka Ying would not risk her daughter, Rorschach was still a little worried about Skye's safety.
Healing potions, dark healing spells, cryopods, and other backup means are all ready,
In the event of any accidents, Rorschach should be able to save Skye's life.
In a quiet room, Skye was dressed in thin clothes and lying on a wooden bed. At this time, Jia Ying walked up to Skye's side and said to her, "Before I officially start the ceremony, I want to talk to you first. The transformation process is irreversible, and every Inhuman may not be able to adapt to it when they first gain their abilities. It's even possible to cause a mutation of the body like Gordon, have you figured it out? ”
Skye nodded and said, "I want to be the same Inhuman as you." ”
This is also the result of Skye's careful consideration, the family affection that he has been longing for is in front of him, and Skye knows very well that it is impossible for him to live in this retreat for a long time as a non-alien. In order not to be separated from her family again, she is also willing to take a risk.
Moreover, incomplete evolution like Gordon's is a very rare case in the Inhumans, and the probability is very small.
"Okay, you get ready, you may feel your body out of control later, but please bear with it, and you will be fine soon." Jiaying reminded.
Skye nodded again, then closed her eyes. This evolutionary ritual didn't require her to do anything, just wait quietly.
Jia Ying took out a blue crystal from a very heavy wooden box. The crystal was inwardly pure, but to Rorschach it was like a living thing.
Rorschach could see that the crystal contained many insects that could not be seen with the naked eye, or a special kind of microorganism.
Jia Ying smashed the crystal to the ground, and the originally solid crystal completely shattered in an instant, turning into a cloud of gaseous smoke. But in reality, it should be a mist composed of countless special microorganisms.
The mist was sucked into Skye's body and covered on Skye's body. Rorschach saw that Skye's body was beginning to be lithified in large areas.
In almost a matter of seconds, Skye was covered in a layer of gray-black rock, and the fog quickly cleared completely.
"It seems that these microorganisms have an effect on the bloodline of the Inhumans, but at the same time have a lethal effect on ordinary people." Rorschach was interested in this crystal, and if he gave Belcher or Banner the research, he might be able to develop a potion that would be effective for ordinary people.
Unfortunately, after the crystal shattered, these microorganisms also died rapidly, and they would completely disappear almost within a few seconds.
Not only that, but even the gray-black stone covered by Skye's body quickly weathered and shattered, revealing Skye's original face.
"Skye, what do you think?" Jiaying asked with concern.
Skye blinked, touched his face again, didn't seem to notice anything wrong, and asked strangely, "That's it, but I don't feel anything." ”
In appearance, Skye is no different from the original. However, Rorschach noticed that the energy contained in Skye's body was constantly increasing. However, this increase seems to be manageable, and it does not cause any damage to Skye's body.
"Everyone's talent is different, some people will feel their talent right away, while others need to master it slowly. However, I believe that my daughter will be the best Inhuman and will be able to master her natural abilities very quickly. Jiaying comforted.
Skye was about to respond, but Rorschach suddenly appeared in the ashram. Originally, there was nothing in front of him, but in the blink of an eye, Rorschach was in front of him.
"How did you get in? Didn't I let Gordon stay out there? Jiaying said a little shocked.
"Oh, you think Gordon can sense other spatial teleportation abilities, that's why he will guard the door. But I didn't just teleport in, I just walked in. Presumably Gordon didn't see it clearly. Rorschach grinned, revealing her standard eight teeth.
Jiaying naturally knew that Gordon couldn't "see" clearly, but Rorschach's ability still shocked her. Jia Ying changed her tone and said to Rorschach, "This is a special ritual of the Inhumans, you can't just break in. ”
"That...... Rorschach may have been worried about me. Skye hurriedly gave Rorschach a look, hoping that he would apologize to Jiaying.
Rorschach just said calmly, "Isn't that over, I just can't wait to see what Skye is capable of." ”
"Skye's abilities haven't been shown yet, and it's going to take a process for her to discover and practice on her own, do you think it's the same as you variants?" Jiaying said very dissatisfied.
"No, if I'm correct, Skye's abilities may have something to do with the shock." Rorschach said it was speculation, but in fact he was already in the chest.
Rorschach stretched out his palm, a small tuning fork appeared in the palm of his hand, and then said to Skye, "Do you want to try it?" ”
