Chapter 14: Are We Heroes?
"Can you introduce me to the Yaoguang team?"
So far, Fang Xiaobei only knows a few words about the Yaoguang team, as well as its name.
"You should know that the Yaoguang Squad was founded a hundred years ago with the purpose of following the Fearless and Immeasurable Goddess Emperor to defend against the mystery."
Xiao Tuoming didn't know where to take out a kettle and took a sip.
"After successfully intercepting the mystery, the Yaoguang squad was disbanded.
However, it was later discovered that although the mystery would no longer invade Hwacheon on a large scale, it would spontaneously be born in Hwacheon's territory.
In order to protect the safety of the people in the territory and to prevent riots among the people, the Yaoguang team reappeared in the shadows to deal with the mystery of the spontaneous birth in the territory of Hwacheon. ”
Seeing Fang Xiaobei's thoughtful appearance, Xiao Tuoming knew what he was thinking:
"You guessed it, the lion-faced ghost you met in the Martyrs' Memorial Park the night before yesterday was a product of mystery. We were in the middle of a mysterious incident that caused some accidents to escape, and you just happened to encounter them. ”
Fang Xiaobei suddenly thought of Chu Qian's words, her parents died in the line of duty seven years ago.
"So, dealing with mysterious events kills people?"
Xiao Tuoming smiled:
"Hatsu Qian, this kid.
I'll be honest with you, dealing with mysteries does result in death, but it doesn't usually happen.
Both the Yaoguang team and the mysterious events are divided into levels, and the corresponding level of the Yaoguang team deals with the mysterious events of the corresponding level. ”
"What if you encounter a super-level mysterious event?" Fang Xiaobei asked.
"We will retreat immediately, and then apply for a higher-level Yaoguang team to come to support."
"Then how does the Yaoguang team deal with mysterious events?"
"Well, you should have seen the abilities of Luoyun and Luo Xunshan." Xiao Tuoming raised the kettle and found that it was empty, "Let's go, let's go up." ”
"Yes, Spiritualist and Dreamer."
Fang Xiaobei followed Xiao Tuoming away, and before leaving, he turned around and looked around, there was also a corridor behind the iron table, but it was shrouded in darkness and he couldn't see the situation inside.
"That's what we use to deal with mysteries." Xiao Tuoming walked up the stairs with a kettle in his hand.
"Can I gain access to these abilities too?"
Xiao Tuoming stopped, turned around and said with a smile to the other party Xiaobei:
"Of course, every member of the squad is eligible for these abilities."
After speaking, Xiao Tuoming continued to walk up.
"When dealing with mysterious events, we found that when the mysterious events were processed, they left a temporary stream of energy in place. We use this power to awaken ourselves and gain abilities that are different from those of ordinary people. In addition, this energy can also help us quickly increase the strength of our awakening abilities. ”
"Of course, that's just one way to go. The other way is to believe in the Fearless and Immeasurable Goddess Emperor, the stronger the faith, the higher the chance of getting the awakening, and the stronger the awakening ability.
In fact, this is how the first Yaoguang squad acquired the ability to resist the mystery. ”
Fang Xiaobei frowned:
"No, why didn't I wake up when I was in the park?"
"You've woken up, you just don't know it. Or rather, you are only halfway awakened, and the appearance of the gods interrupts your awakening. ”
Xiao Tuoming's voice came from the front.
Where did the god come from, I personally used the power of faith to kill the lion-faced ghost.
Could it be that the power of faith directly purifies the energy?
Fang Xiaobei was actually more inclined that he hadn't woken up.
Xiao Tuoming was silent for a long time before continuing.
"In fact, the number of mysterious events is very small, normally only seven or eight a year. Do you know how the parents of the first shallow were sacrificed? ”
Fang Xiaobei was a little puzzled, this topic changed too suddenly, too blunt.
"I don't know."
Fang Xiaobei had no choice but to answer honestly.
"Four-fifths of the mysterious events we deal with each year occur naturally, and the remaining one-fifth come from our team members."
Fang Xiaobei couldn't believe it: "Could it be that the parents of the junior high belong to the fifth?" ”
Xiao Tuoming nodded:
"Not bad."
Fang Xiaobei blurted out:
"Why?"
"The energy left behind by the processing of mysterious events is polluting, and we absorb this power to enhance our ability to awaken, while also absorbing this pollution into our bodies."
"Generally speaking, the team members of the corresponding level absorb the energy generated by the mysterious events of the corresponding level. At that time, the situation was exceptional, and the parents of the nascent absorbed the energy of a higher level, which finally led to this tragedy. ”
"Is there no other result than death?"
"Not really. Either the spirit is torn apart, the body collapses, and becomes an unconscious monster composed of flesh and blood. Either they are affected by the pollution in the energy, personality changes, apathy, bloodthirstiness...... We call this a runaway phenomenon. Relative to these two outcomes, death is already an excellent destination. ”
"Isn't there a way to solve the pollution in the body?"
Xiao Tuoming paused:
"Actually, it's not completely impossible, believing in the Goddess Emperor and using the belief in the Goddess Emperor to purify the pollution in the body just takes a little longer.
Do you still want to be awakened now? ”
"Yes." Fang Xiaobei replied firmly.
What's nonsense, this is the only way to enhance one's own strength at present, and if you don't wake up, you have to wait until when you break the world barriers.
As for the pollution, his own emperor-level spiritual power might be able to deal with it easily.
At this time, Fang Xiaobei suddenly remembered Luo Xunshan's door-to-door inquiry yesterday morning. At that time, a strange and chaotic force appeared in his mind, destroying a small part of the spiritual fragment.
Could it be that that force is the pollution in the captain's mouth?
"Do you think we're heroes?" Xiao Tuoming asked nonsensically.
"Of course yes, for the safety of more people, I don't hesitate to sacrifice myself, and in the end, I have to be incognito."
By this time, the two had already reached the ground.
Pushing open the door, the bright light in the corridor dazzled, drawing a side of Xiao Tuoming's body under the backlight.
Fang Xiaobei looked at his back, and thought of a sentence for no reason: the darkness is being melted by the light.
Xiao Tuoming's voice also reached Fang Xiaobei's ears from the door:
"We are not heroes, but a bunch of fools who stay on track in the midst of pain and danger."
