Chapter 14: The Red Lotus Walker

"Catastrophic" xenomorphs, which generally refer to the mere existence that has the potential to cause a catastrophe.

Some xenos may not be because the ontology is strong, or maybe it's just because the ability is more tricky. For example, the diary once recorded a xenomorph that could paralyze most of the city's network equipment in a short period of time, but the body was very weak, and it was easy to hunt that xenomorph, but it was still marked as a "disaster" level.

As long as the xenomorphs can cause large-scale loss of life and property, they can be marked as "catastrophic".

And even among the "disaster" level xenomorphs, the one on Ding Yan's body can be called tricky.

The "catastrophic" class xenomorph "Red Lotus", the reason for its birth is unknown, and its ability is unknown. The only thing that can be clear is that when encircling and suppressing this xenomorph, the authorities spent a lot of effort, and part of the remains of this xenomorph were sealed in Ding Yan's body.

As for the origin of the "Red Lotus", even Bering is not very visible. After all, when the original world uses its own abilities, it is usually watching TV and searching websites, and it is generally difficult for Bering to find information with such a high degree of secrecy as "Red Lotus".

Bering can also understand this, according to his current experience, if you want to activate the ability, then you must have a specific "carrier". After using the abilities, he was able to see the future of this "carrier" ten seconds later. Thinking about it this way, the original world's self-mobilization ability is probably similar to this, but his "carrier" is probably a TV or mobile phone, using the news to search for information and clues.

However, one thing is very clear, that is, the power of the "Red Lotus", even in the future a few years later, Ding Yan has not fully discovered the success.

"The 'Red Lotus' is a very strong alien species," Bering sat in his chair, peeling an apple sharply, "the flames are subordinate to it, and all burning phenomena are only in the past tense or even in the present tense in its eyes. That is, it is able to perfectly grasp the combustion of objects. ”

Ding Yan, who was lying in the hospital, was covered in gauze, but even so, he still cheered up and listened to Bering's words.

Now they are in a hospital, Ding Yan lying on the bed is the sick number, and Bering is the "family member" who came to visit.

Lin Qi stood beside Bering, his expressionless face as if covered with a layer of iron ash. She silently looked at Ding Yan, who was wrapped in a mummy, her eyes flickering.

In the morning, it rained heavily, and Ding Yan happened to be struck by lightning in the torrential rain. However, in fact, the thunder that split him was actually part of the wreckage of the "Red Lotus", and right now, the wreckage of the "Red Lotus" was sealed in Ding Yan's body.

"That's pretty much it," Bering said with a smile, "which means that since this morning, you've not been a normal person, and I believe you should be able to understand that." ”

Ding Yan, who was lying on the hospital bed, subconsciously showed a bitter smile when he heard this.

Yes, he really understands that......

After being struck by lightning, he thought he was going to die, but he didn't expect that not long after being thrown into the artificial lake, the burn on his body slowly receded. By the time he was admitted to the hospital, he had gone from severe burns to mild burns.

This resilience, no matter how you look at it, cannot be classified as a human level......

Glancing at the scabbed wound on his body, Ding Yan was silent for a moment before looking up at Bering.

"You...... Who is it? Ding Yan's voice was harsh, "I feel like you know a lot of things, and you reminded me before......"

Remind me that it seems like I'm going to go through this catastrophe.

Halfway through, he didn't go on.

Ding Yan had heard that the woman next to Bering seemed to call him a "prophet" before, and then combined with his own affairs, he vaguely had a guess.

It's just that this speculation is so shocking that he couldn't help but swallow the second half of the sentence after he finished speaking.

Looking at Ding Yan, the smile on Bai Ling's face gradually faded.

He tugged at his scarf and said in a calm voice: "It seems that I haven't introduced myself accurately and properly before, so please allow me to introduce myself." ”

"As I told you before, my name is Bering," he looked at Ding Yan, "Of course, you can also call me 'prophet'." ’”

Prophet?

Ding Yan frowned slightly when he heard the name.

Not only had I never heard of it at all, but I always felt that the name was somewhat strange......

As if seeing Ding Yan's doubts, Bai Ling smiled: "You seem to have your own opinion on this." ”

At this time, he finished peeling the apple, so he handed it to Ding Yan.

Ding Yan glanced at the apple, and even he could see that Bering's action of peeling the apple just now was very strange - he barely looked at his own hands? It's like knowing what to do next.

It's not so much skillful as it is ...... Know exactly where to go for the knife.

It's strange, Ding Yan reluctantly took the apple, thinking to himself.

"I can probably understand your thoughts, but I don't care," Bering leaned back in his chair, "whether it is questioning, worshipping, liking or hating, it doesn't mean anything to me." At the end of the day, I'm just a human being who can see the future. ”

The fruit knife in his hand waved lightly in the air, drawing a silver arc, and Bering continued: "The only difference between me and you may be my dullness to 'time'. What you think might just happen is a rule that has been documented for a long time to me. The mystery of the hearts and minds of others is to me but a box that has been opened. Other than that, I'm just an ordinary person, crying, laughing, having headaches and annoyance. ”

Hearing these words, Ding Yan fell silent.

After a while, he said, "Isn't that just like God?" ”

Although it is so simple to say, but fiddling with time, breaking the future, witnessing everything with both eyes, and encapsulating the traces of time into one's own brain, after all, is the realm of "God", right?

It's so humble, but in the end, it has a power that is far beyond human comprehension......

Is this guy an immortal?

"God?" Bering rubbed his chin, "I do know that some xenos seem to claim to be gods, but they are just false gods. There is no such thing as an all-knowing and all-powerful guy in this world, and even the 'Host' has only become the origin...... Oh, the 'Host' is an alien species that will appear in the future, and it seems that it can be imagined, but it probably hasn't been born yet? ”

Throwing precious information to Ding Yan very casually, Bai Ling seemed to have no idea what the impact of these news would be if he was really thinking about whether there was a creature that could be called a "god".

Listening to Bai Ling's words, Ding Yan couldn't help but fall into silence.

After a while, he said, "Then, there's something I want to ask you." ”

"What do you need from me?"

Straight to the point and straightforward, Ding Yan's words even seemed a little clueless.

But he felt that Bering could understand what he was saying.

Sure enough, in the face of Ding Yan's question, a smile appeared on Bering's pale face.

"I need your strength," he said, "not fueled by madness, but with reason as firewood, and raging fire as a torch of light, burning vines and thorns, to make a way for me." ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to Ding Yan: "'Red Lotus Walker', I need your help to save this undercurrent and a world on the verge of collapse!" ”
