XXVI. The so-called Divine Seed
"It's time to get down to business. β
Nina sat up straight, and her expression changed from charming to serious, reminding Bai Yiquan of the noble and elegant elf queen who only appeared in film and television works. At this time, He Xinxin came over and whispered in Bai Yiquan's ear: "This roommate of mine really has the royal blood of the elf clan." β
Bai Yiquan stared at He Xinxin directly, as if to say in his heart: Why did you see through my thoughts again?
"Face to face. He Xinxin shrugged and turned her head, "I couldn't help but look at it, okay, okay, I just don't look at it." β
It seems that as he guessed before, He Xinxin really has the ability to look directly at people's hearts. If such a person becomes a psychologist, wouldn't she be invincible, and the patient doesn't even have to open her mouth, she can know what the other person is thinking. Slow, wouldn't it be more powerful to interrogate the prisoner in this way? Bai Yiquan began to think crankily until Nina spoke again.
"Honestly, I was surprised to hear that someone was able to stay at 73 College District. β
"73 College District?"
"That's where you live now. He Xinxin explained, "You should be able to see that the house is arranged according to the technology of our world, because it was originally a place where a senior brother from our world lived. Later, the senior brother brought back the Snow Maiden from another world, and the Snow Maiden lived there until the death of the senior brother. β
Bai Yiquan nodded, he had already learned about these from Ye Zhifan.
After the death of that senior brother, Snow Maiden's emotions began to become uncontrollable. Nina said slowly, "Over the years, the academy has thought of many ways to try to stabilize the Snow Maiden's mood. It's a pity that Snow Maiden has a strong sense of rejection towards almost everyone, so that the academy's many efforts have been in vain. β
Bai Yiquan continued to nod, these Ye Zhifan also said.
"In fact, over the years, only one person has managed to stay overnight at 73 College District, and for five days. Nina stared at Bai Yiquan, "That person is you." β
Bai Yiquan nodded subconsciously, but felt that something was wrong, and raised his head suddenly: "Only me?"
"Yes, you're the only one. β
"What about Senior Brother Ye Zhifan, and what about Mentor Herme?" Bai Yiquan looked at He Xinxin again.
"Don't look at me. He Xinxin rolled her eyes, "I know the Snow Girl, but the Snow Girl doesn't know me." In fact, only Ye Zhifan can say a few words to the Snow Girl, but that is only because Ye Zhifan is a former friend of that senior brother. Except for him, even if the dean came in person, the Snow Maiden was unwilling to deal with it. β
Bai Yiquan was a little stunned. In the past few days, he has also roughly understood Ani's temperament, and he feels that although she is a little cold, she is not as ruthless as they say. If that's really the case, then it means that Ani's attitude towards herself is quite good, but why, she is obviously just an outsider.
"Just because you're an outsider. He Xinxin once again saw through his thoughts, "You are not from this academy, nor are you a godborn. β
"I don't quite understand. β
"Snow Maiden is disgusted with everyone in this academy. Nina said softly, "I have a disgust for all the gods, and you are different, you are neither part of this academy nor a godborn. So the Snow Maiden's vigilance against you has been put very low. β
Bai Yiquan felt his head getting more and more dizzy: "I still don't understand, isn't Ani also a godborn, why does she hate her kind?"
"Yes, the Snow Maiden is indeed a godborn, and she is also an extremely powerful kind. "Originally, she was supposed to be one of the two best cards in the academy's hand, but she wasn't good at combat, so she just took on the academy's eco-simulation work, which was as easy for her as drinking water and eating." β
"Really?" Bai Yiquan's face was full of suspicion, after all, the unstoppable heavy rain a few days ago was not a joke.
"It used to be true, when Snow Maiden was still in control of her abilities, but not anymore. Since that senior brother passed away, the devastated Snow Maiden has gradually lost control of her abilities, andβ" Nina hesitated, but said anyway, "I heard that the reason why that senior brother passed away was because of a mistake in the decision-making of the academy. β
"Bad decision?"
"Yes, that was years ago, and even I don't know. Nina shook her head and said, "But at that time, the blow to the academy was very big, you must know that senior brother is called the strongest god descendant of the younger generation." Originally, among the three major academies, the voice of the Human Academy was higher than that of the Orc Academy and second only to the Dragon Academy, but after that year, it was at the bottom. And worst of all, Snow Maiden blamed the death of that senior brother on the academy. β
Bai Yiquan opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say. He didn't expect things to be so complicated, originally he had planned to stay in this world for half a month, and then go back to his own world to prepare for the college entrance examination. But now he has a faint feeling that he may not be able to leave.
"I don't know why, but you're the only one Snow Girl doesn't exclude. Nina knocked on the table and said, "So the academy definitely wants you to stay, and it's not just to protect the ecosystem here, for the gods, the weather doesn't have a big impact, although the biology research institute is quite troublesome, but generally speaking, it's still within the acceptable range of the academy." β
"Then why-"
"Because if you continue to let Snow Girl be depressed like this, she will die. Nina interrupted Bai Yiquan's question in a low voice.
Bai Yiquan was stunned. His first reaction was joking, if he was in a bad mood, he would die? That's a depressed person, can the gods also get depression?
"Godborn don't suffer from depression. He Xinxin spoke again, "However, when the control of the godborn's ability becomes weaker and weaker, something very terrifying will happen. β
Bai Yiquan swallowed: "I don't understand. β
"Remember what Mentor Hermo said to you when we first met?" He said, "and he contrasted the Europeans who played with matches with the indigenous people of Africa, who were backward in civilization. He's actually trying to tell you that the gods are to mortals, just like Europeans and natives, and that we just have control over a power that mortals don't have, and that is divine power, the power that the gods have given us. β
Bai Yiquan took a deep breath: "Remember, you also said that you were going to kill your father or something." β
""We are all children of God, and the purpose of our existence is to kill our fathers", this is the motto of "THIRD", you don't have to care. He Xinxin said, "You just need to remember what I said before, we only have the power of the gods that mortals don't have, so we are called gods." In other words, you can also understand us as Europeans with matches. β
Bai Yiquan nodded: "And then?"
"The power of God is very powerful. Nina picked up the topic, "It's not appropriate for you to use matches as a metaphor, but it's not impossible, well, like this. β
Nina took out a matchbox out of nowhere, and pulled out a match, struck it and held it in front of Bai Yiquan's eyes. Bai Yiquan watched the faint candle flame swaying gently in the wind, but it was never extinguished.
"We're a bunch of people with matches, and if we take them well, we can do a lot of things with that fire. Whether it's fighting, lighting, or making cooked food, but if you don't use it well...... "Nina's hand shook slightly, and the match that lit the candle swirled and fell into the cup in front of Bai Yiquan, and in the next second, the flames burst out from the mouth of the cup, if Bai Yiquan hadn't retreated quickly, the eyebrows would probably be gone.
Hell, it's wine, is this otherworldly wine so pure?
Hell, he hadn't had time to taste it yet.
However, Nina's analogy doesn't seem to be difficult to understand: "You mean that the godborn will be eaten by their own power?"
"Oh?" Nina looked a little surprised, "your comprehension ability is still quite strong, I thought I would have to explain it to you again, well, the word backlash is used very well." β
For Bai Yiquan, who is keen on novels and watching anime, this term is not new...... But then again, he thought of what Nina had mentioned to him before, and Ani's control over her own abilities was getting weaker and weaker, didn't that mean......
"Ani could be eaten by her own abilities at any time?"
This time Nina was even more surprised, and she said to He Xinxin: "The people in your world seem to be very smart. β
He Xinxin shrugged her shoulders and did not speak. And Bai Yiquan began to worry about Ani, and he asked Nina, "What are the consequences of being counterattacked?"
"There are a lot of them. "But the most serious thing is death." β
