Chapter 59: The Relic of God
Now there is only a month and a half before the summer vacation, and I can go home during the summer vacation. Why can't my father wait to find someone to deliver this thing?
Shu Yu clutched the box tightly and returned to the dormitory, his mind still spinning.
The new dormitory is specially prepared for evolutionaries, and the conditions are much better than the previous Zero dormitory. One room for two people, the space is also relatively large. The roommate was a nerd, and when he was first assigned to this dormitory, he nodded blankly after listening to the teacher's introduction, and re-immersed himself in his personal terminal. Until now, it has been three days in the same room, and Shu Yu has not heard his voice.
Back in the dormitory, my roommate was still sitting next to his terminal, looking obsessed and not knowing what he was doing. Shu Yu didn't care about him, sat on his chair, looked left and right with the ring, but couldn't see any clues.
Forget it, no matter, isn't the ring just for wearing! However, this ring looks a bit big, and I don't know if it fits.
He picked up the ring and slipped it into the middle finger of his left hand.
Hey? Just right?
Shu Yu was a little surprised. When he just put the ring on his fingertips, he felt that it was really bigger, and he planned to change his finger with a random set, but he didn't expect it to be so suitable. The ring fits gently against the base of the middle finger, without a single gap between it and the skin, but it is soft and stable, as if you are not wearing anything. He shook his hand, and the ring didn't move, looking like "I should be here."
Odd......
Shu Yu took off the ring, and it gently slid over the knuckle of his middle finger without hindrance.
Are my joints as thick as the roots of my fingers? Can't you?
He put the ring on his thumb, and it fit smoothly, and he didn't move when he put it on.
The same goes for the little finger.
What material is this ring! It's amazing!
Shu Yu suddenly became interested. He kept changing his fingers, taking them off and putting them on, putting them on and taking them off again. The ring looks a bit big, but it fits easily on every finger, and it won't fall off easily if you don't take it off deliberately.
Finally, when he put the ring on the ring finger of his left hand, which he had deliberately avoided for some peculiar virginity, he suddenly felt a second heart pound in the middle of his chest! The vibration was sudden, Shu Yu was startled, and he felt as if there was an invisible fluctuation, centered on that heart, expanding towards the surroundings.
Pounding!
Another layer of volatility radiates outward......
A voice suddenly sounded in his headβ
"Is that you, who has obtained the relics of the gods? My descendants? β
********************
The sound was special, as if a man's voice and a woman's voice were mixed together, with a metallic reverberation.
A relic of the gods? Posterity?
Shu Yu was taken aback and hurriedly glanced at Zhao Jianhui, but this nerdy otaku was still buried in his terminal, and it seemed that he didn't hear the voice at all, although the rumbling echo still resounded in Shu Yu's mind!
He subconsciously thought in his head, "What relict of the gods?" Who are you! β
The reverberant voice quickly answered his question: "What have you acquired lately?" If you hadn't turned on that thing, you wouldn't have mutated! β
"That thing"! Shu Yu's heart jumped again, and he quickly thought of that mysterious heart.
"Yes, that's ......"
There was some emotion in his voice, as if he was nostalgic, as if he was happy, and as if he was hating.
"Relic of the Gods?!"
"Yes, that's it, that's what we call it......"
********************
At the beginning of the 22nd century of the Old Earth calendar, a sudden and huge tsunami swept across the Pacific Ocean.
At first, it was thought to be just an ordinary tsunami, even though its scale was called "once in a century". But after cleaning up the grief of heavy casualties and property damage, the eyes of the whole world are focused on this place - in the very center of the Pacific Ocean, a mysterious island has appeared!
It used to be a vast expanse of the sea, and there was not even a single reef, and this small island suddenly appeared and did not exist scientifically at all. If it weren't for the fact that this is the Pacific Ocean and not the Atlantic Ocean, people would have thought that this was the legendary "Atlantis".
Scientists have gone through a lot of trouble to bring back the "relics of the gods" from the island.
No one can say exactly what it is, but legend has it that it was it that started the era of human evolution!
In other words, it was the cause of the mutation of people on the planet that began to occur almost globally!
The relic of the gods disappeared shortly after it appeared, and many forces later spent countless efforts to find it, but to no avail......
Thinking that as soon as this heart appeared, all the students in the entire Zero dormitory had evolved, Shu Yu couldn't help but believe eight points. His heart jumped again, and he was faintly afraid. He got something so important! If someone else knows about it......
He shuddered, somewhat avoiding this thought, and couldn't help but have a question - thinking that in the first place, the relics of the gods appeared on the earth, causing the human beings on the entire earth to mutate. Why did it only affect the Zero dormitory this time? Didn't even get anything from the girls' dormitory next door?
"Huh...... When the relics of the gods appeared on the earth, it took about a year until I took them out! That is, its energy has been emitted in the atmosphere for a year! How long do you go from discovering it to when it enters your body? β
That's right, as soon as Shu Yu opened the box and took it out, it sank into his body, and it was only a few seconds before and after! It's just an insignificant time compared to a year in the Earth Age. So, your own body can be insulated from the power of the relics of the gods?
"That's right...... Although I don't know why, it is true that only the people of our family, only the bloodline of our family can obtain this ability. If ordinary people come into direct contact with the relics of the gods, they will quickly mutate, and constantly mutate until they die! β
Lao Ding!
Shu Yu thought of this steward in an instant, was the reason why he became like that at that time because he was too close to the relic of the gods?
As he thought of the scene, some fragments of images suddenly flashed in front of him. These images appear in the air like holograms, refracting various patterns, through which you can even see the back of the roommate opposite. But if it's a hologram, with such a large range, even a blind person can see it clearly! But now, he is still as he feels, as if everything that appears in front of Shu Yu's eyes is all his fantasy......
"So, until I went to the island, the relics of the gods were exposed to the air."
The sudden appearance of the picture in front of him captured all of Shu Yu's attention, and he stared at those pictures with wide eyes, shocked!
It's a small island, and if you go up from this side, you can see the boundary over there, and the radius is about 100 meters. In the center of the island was a square altar with an open box on it, the same one he had seen in the basement earlier!
In the box of unknown materials, the blood-red heart was beating, calm and powerful. Around it, it turned out to be a hellish picture!
Blood pool! The tentacle of the woods! Eyeballs all over the ground!
What's even more terrifying is that there are several people next to him who are transforming from human form. One of them, just like the old man he saw that day, was like a blood-red candle slowly melting, he didn't know the pain, and with a strange smile on his face, he was slowly obliterated by the blood wax little by little......
The sky is clear and clear, and the transparent sunlight is shining down, and such a peaceful weather sets off the bleak scene around it, like a bloody paradise, which makes people even more desperate!
***********************
"That's what you saw when you first came to the island?"
"Yes."
"You're the only survivor on the island?"
"Yes."
"Are you my ancestor?"
"Yes."
Shu Yu's mind was in chaos. He pressed his hand to his chest, and the "Relic of the Gods" didn't move, but he knew it was underneath.
Why did he get the Divine Relic?
Why did my father ask someone to bring him this ring after hearing about his evolution?
Vaguely, a sense of fatalism enveloped him, and under this thick feeling, he only felt a deep powerlessness.
He slammed down on the bed, spread out his limbs, and stared at the ceiling in a daze. The roommate opposite heard the voice, glanced back curiously, heard Shu Yu's steady breathing, and turned his head disapprehantly. Those grim hellish images were still hanging in the air, and Shu Yu could see them clearly, but his roommate's gaze swept over and he couldn't see anything.
"What exactly do we mean by this bloodline?"
After a long time, Shu Yu asked silently. When he was silent, the mixed voice was silent; As soon as he asked, the voice immediately replied calmly and steadily:
"When four groups of scientists went to the island, I was the only one who survived. Later research found that this has something to do with the family's bloodline. Most of the human beings will be mutated under the influence of the relics of the gods, and even if the distance is long and the time is long, the residual energy in the space will be affected through the bloodline. But the only exception is this one of our family's bloodlines.
This bloodline of our family, under normal circumstances, would not have been mutant under any circumstances. β
Shu Yu was startled and immediately clenched his fists. His father's calm and gentle smile seemed to appear in front of his eyes...... Is it because you have known this for a long time? That's why he looks at evolution and the matter of weak chickens so lightly, and repeatedly asks him to keep a normal heart!
Father, is that so? When exactly are you going to tell me this......
The voice continued: "It is precisely because of this that we are not directly affected by the relics of the gods, but can store it in our bodies like a container, so as to gradually release its power. β
Shu Yu's chaotic thoughts were drawn to this calm narrative, which proved his experience little by little, and also answered some of his questions.
"How to release? How can I control the power of the Relic of the Gods? What exactly is that family tradition? β
The voice replied, "When I got the relic of the gods, I felt a faint change in myself. I've been practicing Tai Chi since I was a child, and after that, I found that it had some effect on the relics of the gods in my body! β
"Tai Chi?" Shu Yu only knew the name of this set of boxing for the first time, he vaguely remembered that he had seen this name in the books of the earth, and he also remembered that this set of boxing methods was once very popular in human society, but its detailed moves have gradually disappeared in the development of human beings......
"Tai Chi can help the relics of the gods absorb the energy of nature, but very slowly. In order to increase its efficiency, the research institute consulted a large number of classics, tried various methods, and finally made an amplifier for the relic of the gods, which is the ring that brings this information to you! β
Hearing this, Shu Yu's thumb downward, stroked the inside of the ring, and asked secretly, "Amplifier?" β
"Yes, it strengthens your connection with the relics of the gods and projects some of its reactions directly into your consciousness, so that you can better grasp the direction of your own research."
The "ancestor" is to serve the research institute, so he opened his mouth to "research direction", but Shu Yu thought about it more. The deeper his understanding of the relics of the gods means that he has a clearer idea of where he will be headed.
This is simply the best gift for him......
