Chapter 989: Baby Girl
"What is this?" Leo couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the origin of the gamma ray energy, and then used his psionic energy to directly sweep away the dirt on it, revealing the source of the gamma rays inside.
I saw that the source was not a radioactive substance, but a baby girl who was buried alive.
If it weren't for the faint gamma rays constantly emitting from her body, this baby girl would be no different from an ordinary human from the inside out.
Because she has been buried for a while, the baby girl's life characteristics are somewhat weak, and she may die at any time.
Leo didn't think much about it, picked up the baby girl from the pit, and then used the rescue psionic skills such as psionic tremor to treat the baby girl, and soon in a slight cough, the baby girl recovered, and opened her closed eyes to look at Leo.
When he saw the baby girl's eyes, Leo understood why she was buried alive, because the baby girl's eyes were as black as ink, like a black glass ball, and a little flame could be faintly seen jumping in the glass ball.
Being stared at by such eyes, even a strong-willed person like Leo will unconsciously feel an inexplicable horror, and the moment ordinary people see these eyes, their hearts may have been completely surrounded by fear.
However, this inexplicable feeling did not affect Leo for long, and he soon recovered from that inexplicable state of fear.
He then examined the baby's physical condition, and when he was sure that she had no physical ailment, but was malnourished, he stretched out his finger and shook it in front of the little girl's eyes.
Although the baby girl's eyes are very weird, she is not blind, and when Leo shakes his fingers, her eyes move slightly with her fingers, and then it is more like Leo is playing a game with her, and reaches out to grab Leo's fingers.
In the examination just now, Leo did not find out why the girl's body was able to emit faint gamma ray energy, nor did he find out why the girl's eyes could produce a frightening effect, as if this girl was really just an ordinary person.
However, it is precisely this ordinary, which does not seem to have anything abnormal, that makes it less ordinary.
The baby girl shuddered and shrunk into a ball as a cold mountain wind blew around, and Leo wrapped it in his clothes, while using psionic energy to create a thermostatic energy field to isolate the baby girl from the cold night around her.
Then, Leo spread his psionic wings and flew into the air, making his way and heading towards the nearest quarry town.
In Leo's opinion, the person who will bring the baby girl to this remote suburban forest to be buried alive must be someone who lives nearby, so he wants to go to the nearby quarry town to see if he can find the baby girl's family and understand the reason why the baby girl was buried alive.
Soon Leo flew to the nearby quarry town, and through the spirit network, he easily found more than 30 mutant families living here, and by listening to the conversations of these families, he also easily found the family where the baby girl was.
Instead of entering the family's apartment and questioning why the people in the house had buried the baby girl alive, Leo stood at the top of the apartment and spied on their conversations through the psychic web.
There are a total of eleven members of the family in the apartment, two related couples, seven children belonging to different families, a total of seven people in this family of eleven have obvious mutated organs, and the other four also have signs of mutation in some secrets, which is the most typical mutant family here.
Through the conversations between the family members, Leo was sure that the family members of the baby girl had no guilt at all about burying the baby girl alive, but were relieved as if they had been rid of a scourge, and might even have a special party for it if they had wine and food.
There is a reason why the family hates, or more accurately, the baby girl who was born not long ago, and this can be known from their conversation.
The baby girl was born more than a month ago, and at the time of birth there were seventeen people living in this apartment, and all six of them died within a month, and the cause of these deaths was without exception mutation out of control.
At the time, no one suspected that the situation was related to the baby girl, although the eyes of the baby girl were extremely frightening, but compared to the strange shape and abilities of other mutants, the black eyes and terrifying abilities of the baby girl were not so special, and everyone regarded the baby girl as an ordinary mutant.
It wasn't until several people died in a short period of time that it attracted the attention of the people in the town, worried that it was the plague, and began to investigate the matter, only to find that these people who died of uncontrolled mutation had taken care of the baby girl for a day or two before they died.
After this discovery, the people of the town repeatedly verified it, and found that the baby girl really caused the mutation of other people's bodies to get out of control, so the people of the town thought that the baby girl was the embodiment of evil, the cursed daughter, and specially dealt with them who were abandoned.
The people of the town originally wanted to burn the baby girl to death, but the burning of the person caused bad memories among some people, so they decided to take the baby girl to the woods in the suburbs and bury it alive.
After understanding the situation, Leo was able to guess why the baby girl caused the mutated organs in those mutants to get out of control, and then lead to death, probably because of the gamma rays that were constantly emitted from the baby girl's body.
The Earth Federation has been studying gamma rays for a long time, and there have been special institutions engaged in the study of gamma rays in the old Earth era, but even in Leo's time, it is still a mystery what gamma rays are and what kind of role they have.
Because every once in a while, conclusions about what the function of gamma rays are will be overturned by the emergence of new technologies, and new discoveries will be added, and according to rumors, even the higher cosmic civilizations of the Supreme Council of the universe have not fully mastered the gamma rays, which are cosmic energy rays.
It is now certain that among the many functions of gamma rays, inducing genetic mutation is one of the most basic functions.
Although the gamma rays on the baby girl are not strong, its basic function of triggering genetic mutations will not be weakened too much, and the dead people have been affected by the rays for a long time, and their bodies have also mutated due to other reasons, and the gamma rays only play a role in transforming the mutation from benign and chronic to acute and malignant.
After learning about the situation, Leo did not plan to let the baby girl and her family see each other again, but directly cast his psionic wings and flew back towards Kabu City.
"Why did you come back? It's already settled?" asked Sylvia, who was startled, as Leo flew in through the window.
"No, the Assassin matter is a bit complicated and needs to be discussed with you. Leo shook his head slightly, then lifted his clothes to reveal the baby girl inside, and said, "But before you do that, you can help her clean the dirt from her body." ”
Seeing the baby girl in Leo's arms, Sylvia couldn't help but be stunned, she never thought that Leo, who had said that she was going to leave for two days not long ago, would come back so quickly, and still have a baby girl in her arms.
However, the baby's trembling body and muttering immediately woke Sylvia from her surprise, and without asking too much, she immediately stepped forward and took the baby girl from Leo's hand.
Leo watched Sylvia coax the baby girl and walked towards the dressing room of the suite, and then reminded: "This little guy is a little special, it is best for you to help her groom herself, and don't let other ordinary people approach her." ”
Sylvia was stunned when she heard this, and at this time the baby girl also opened her eyes because of a change of environment, and when she saw the baby girl's eyes, Sylvia felt an irrepressible fear in her heart, but the abyss demon dragon bloodline on her body quickly suppressed this abnormal fear.
"Such a powerful force, I was affected without any defense?She's a mutant?" Sylvia asked in surprise.
"It's not. Leo shook his head.
Sylvia didn't continue to ask, and took the baby girl into the dressing room, and after about half an hour, she returned to the living room with the freshened and swaddled baby girl.
By this time, the baby girl was already asleep, and Sylvia put the baby girl next to little Tolan, and then went to Leo's side, and asked, "What the hell is going on?
When Leo heard this, he told Sylvia about the baby's life and physical abnormalities.
"What? What kind of ray does she have that mutates people?" Sylvia immediately showed a nervous look on her face, and she stood up, wanting to go to the cradle and carry the baby girl away from Tolan.
Leo immediately grabbed her and said, "Don't be nervous, the gamma rays on her body are not harmful to Tolan, they will only affect ordinary people, and ......" He paused. "And maybe her gamma rays will be good for Tolan's body." ”
Although Sylvia trusted Leo's judgment, she asked with some skepticism, "What you said is true?"
"Of course it's true, Tolan is my son and I wouldn't do anything to hurt him. Leo looked at Sylvia very seriously, and after seeing Sylvia's expression softened a little, he motioned for her to do it, and then continued: "I suspect that when Tolan was born, the Black Forest did something to him. ”
Sylvia's face immediately turned gloomy when she heard this, it was obvious that things like being manipulated and tampered with were not a good thing in her past experience.
But Leo said before Sylvia got angry, "I don't think these hands and feet are bad, though. ”
"What do you mean by that?" Sylvia glared at Leo with dissatisfaction, and Leo had the momentum of kicking Leo out of the room without explaining clearly.
Leo still said unhurriedly: " Neither you nor my bloodline is a force that this world will allow to exist, because you and I can control it, so the repulsion of this world is not very large, but Tolan is different, he doesn't know how to control his own power, if one day he suddenly wakes up to your abyssal power or my bloodline power, then it will definitely cause the rejection of this world, and then he may be in danger of his life, so the Black Forest has done something to him and banned all his bloodline power, which should be a good thing for him. ”
After listening to Leo's explanation, Sylvia also nodded thoughtfully, after leaving the Black Forest, Sylvia obviously felt that the world's suppression and rejection of her had strengthened a lot, which was obviously related to the further improvement of her bloodline.
Therefore, even if the Black Forest doesn't do anything to little Tolan, she will probably go to the church to find someone to seal little Tolan's bloodline.
However, it is one thing to ask for it actively, and it is another thing to bear it passively, and Sylvia is still extremely dissatisfied and annoyed by the Black Forest's practice of not saying hello and secretly attacking.
Sylvia asked puzzled, "Since you think it's a bad thing to activate Tolan's bloodline power, why do you say it's good to let that little girl stay with Tolan?"
"The gamma rays on the baby girl's body can not only cause mutations in the human body, but also cause another force in the human body in a special way. Leo said seriously: "That power is also my source power, and I hope that Tolan can inspire the same power as me." ”
"Is that power psionic?" Sylvia quickly guessed.
Leo nodded.
As Leo said, according to various studies of the Earth Federation and the data of alien civilizations, gamma rays can not only cause mutations in human organs, but also stimulate the spiritual energy of the human body.
Although all of the content above is aimed at the alien race corresponding to the legacy, Leo was able to draw inferences from them and find some methods for gamma rays to stimulate psionic energy suitable for humans, and long-term immersion in weak gamma rays is one of them.
When bringing the baby girl back, Leo had already thought of a way to control the gamma rays on the baby girl, this method is also a psionic skill, and has been used on the baby girl, the effect seen from now is not bad, the intensity of the gamma rays on the baby girl has been weakened to one-tenth, coupled with the particularity of the little Tolan's own bloodline, so that this strength of gamma rays can just have a certain impact on little Tolan, and it will not hurt little Tolan.
In addition, Leo wants to keep the baby girl by his side, hoping to find out the mystery of the origin of the mysterious power and gamma rays in the baby girl.
