Chapter VIII. Knowing can be restored
"This ...... What the hell is going on? ”
In a trance.
Rosetta raised her head and looked in the mirror, only to see an iron-gray dim light hidden in the depths of her pupils, turning her pupil color into a kind of "different color" that was essentially different from Ishiizaki, Masao Kazuyama, and even the corpse dog, different from their original pupil color!
It's very different from the fleeting fleeting of the past.
This time, the heterochromia was completely frozen in his pupils.
It was the same color of iron and gray as the dome of this world.
This change seemed to indicate that Rosetta had moved away from the world of common sense, and he looked in the mirror, and was silent for two or three minutes before he felt a certain restlessness in his hollow heart slowly calm down, and finally he was able to calmly look at the inexplicable change in himself.
There is no doubt that this has a direct relationship with what happened tonight.
But there were also many signs of anomalies that had appeared from him long before that.
Rosetta reminisced about the hours of tonight, thinking about it, ruling out impossible options, until finally, only a feeling called 'death' came to his face, dragging his whole consciousness to sink gradually, and then, causing him to return to a certain state again, feeling that those emotions on the surface had become extremely distant.
No sorrow, no joy, no anger.
It's like watching the life of 'Rosetta' from a third-person perspective.
In the feeling of endless falling, he watched his memories continue to rewind to the past, and felt that the fragments of his shell composed of thoughts, memories, ideologies, etc., peeled off and shattered from his body, and fell into the lightless abyss.
Who was me before I was born?
Who am I when I die?
Rosetta's life rewinds back to the beginning, he returns to the original womb, and then gradually recalls his death as another Rosetta in a parallel world.
[In the ancient myths and legends of many regions,
Most of them are similar to those who have gone through death and returned from the underworld to obtain supernatural powers.
Achilles was immersed in the River Styx by his mother's feet, and received the divinity that is infallible to all things.
Followers of Orpus Esoteric believe that abstinence and asceticism in this life can be purified and sublimated after death through the trials of the underworld, so that they can be with the gods.
The monks of the Qin and Han dynasties believed that they could shed their old bodies and decompose their bodies to become immortals by committing suicide with a sword.
The great monks of Tantric Buddhism buried themselves alive in the ground with the intention of becoming a Buddha.
These stories that have been handed down to this day seem to illustrate one thing - that is, after experiencing death, returning from the Yellow Spring Country, you can obtain the ability to go up and down.
In modern times, such people who have returned from the brink of death are called 'resurrected beings' and 'supernatural ones'......]
Burning, stinging.
With such a large amount of anomalous knowledge that Rosetta had never remembered, it appeared in his mind for no reason.
As a 'reborn being' who was born on the brink of death, it was as if some innate instinct had finally been recalled in this constant 'fall'.
Suddenly, Rosetta fell to a point and found that her consciousness had regained the ability to breathe in the abyss.
It is as if an infinite moment is eternal, and everything in the metaphysical world is withdrawn from perception.
At that moment, an iron-gray dim light suddenly lit up from Rosetta's pupils, and with an ability that was completely different from common sense, something incredible like going back in time appeared on him.
The awakening of the ability itself has the effect of repairing damage and strengthening the body.
But the phenomenon that appeared on Rosetta at this moment was completely different from that kind of thing.
'Repair' refers to repairing an object from its broken state to restore it to its wholeness, but the phenomenon that appears in Rosetta is more like a naturally awakened power called 'psionic energy' that naturally remembers the state of his body when it was at its best, puts his hand into the gap in time, and resets the state of his body to the moment through 'memory'.
There is no reason for this.
Inexplicably, Rosetta suddenly understood that the ability he awakened from his soul seemed to be related to 'memory' and 'memory'.
The 'common sense' that naturally came to his mind with awakening told him.
The effect of the 'ability' is related to the original cause of death of the reborn, and is essentially an avoidance mechanism for a certain cause of death.
And 'psionics'.
It was an obsession born from the spirit that transcended death.
Rosetta guessed that he didn't want to forget the memories of his previous life, which may be the reason why he was born with this 'psychic energy'.
Therefore, when the previous memories were gradually remembered as he grew up, and then stimulated by the external crisis, it was logical that his consciousness, which had been on the verge of awakening, naturally 'recalled' the spiritual energy that had been forgotten by his instincts.
This is where his insomnia and abnormal food intake come from.
Because the psionic energy on the verge of awakening keeps him in a state of 'memorizing' all the information at all times, and he can't fall asleep normally, so this extra consumption needs to be replenished by extra eating.
‘…… That's why Ishiizaki is that guy eyeing me? Judging from the feeling he gave me, he must be a similar ability to me? ’
Recalling her previous trip to prison, Rosetta suddenly thought through many of the details of her previous visit.
The eyes of the 'corpse dog' that attacked him were scarlet, and the eyes of his awakened psionic energy turned iron gray.
According to this logic, is the reason why Ishiizaki people wear sunglasses to hide their abnormal eye color as a supernatural person?
Rosetta wasn't sure, because he could control the presence or absence of 'heterochromia' in the pupil.
But...... On the other hand, if the above inference is true, then he will be even more special if he has never been able to extinguish the heterochromia in his pupils and needs to wear sunglasses to cover Ishiizaki.
"Forget it, there is not enough information to be sure."
Feeling the throbbing pain in her mind, Rosetta sighed silently, and with the exhalation of this breath, the mental exhaustion also surged up.
Psionic energy is certainly 'beyond common sense', but it is not a panacea after all.
At this moment, his body is in the most energetic state, but his consciousness is extremely drowsy because of the experience of this night.
This contradictory feeling was not pleasant, he could only stop thinking for a while, move his body to the bed with difficulty, and then let the uncontrollable exhaustion completely engulf him.
In a sudden, long dream.
Rosetta finally found a rare peace in her heart.
-
"Good morning, good morning, this is Ping An Ant River."
"Now urgently insert a piece of news, at about 6:13 last night, the No. 3 Prison of Antchuan City, located on the outskirts of the city, was attacked, and an explosion occurred inside, which is suspected to have been committed by escaped prisoners cooperating with the attackers."
"After the high-level meeting of the Antchuan City Metropolitan Police Department overnight, they arrived at 7 o'clock in the morning and controlled the fire in the prison, but there are still some felons who have absconded and escaped from prison, so please be sure to go to work on time, and at the same time pay attention to personal safety and do not cause damage to the company's property."
In the irritating sounds that come out of the TV.
Rose up for some time to Rosetta, and his day began here.
Finished washing up as usual, and solved the simple breakfast.
The appearance of psionic energy did not bring much change to Rosetta's daily life, at most, it took him some more time to find the contact lenses that he didn't know where to put them, just in case he brought them with him.
The clock was fast approaching around seven o'clock in the morning.
After watching the morning news of Antgawa City for the new day, Rosetta also casually turned off the TV.
Obtaining information through news channels, he already knew that his murder had not yet been discovered - or rather, it was because of the prison escape that he was ignored and covered up.
But shortly after I left, did the prison break happen......
Combined with the fact that he was attacked by a corpse dog, Rosetta vaguely sensed that there was an invisible connection between the two events, most likely the same wave of people, or more accurately, the Ishiizaki people who were suspected of being the supernatural.
There was no need for any evidence, because this guy gave Rosetta the feeling that it was so dangerous, and if he had planned to escape from prison, then Rosetta would never have suspected it.
Tuk, tuk, tuk.
Fingers unconsciously tapped on the table, and Rosetta thought about it.
If the 'planning of the prison escape' was the original purpose of Ishiizaki's visit to prison, then the incident of meeting me should have been a simple accident, which means that it was only because of the 'spiritual energy' in my body that was on the verge of awakening that he noticed me.
'Just because of the relationship between one side, you can think of sending someone to kill me...... Tsk, what's wrong with this guy's brain? ’
Realizing this, Rosetta took a deep breath.
He quietly went and opened the window to let in the cool air after the rain, which would make him feel more comfortable.
In Yingzhou, a country that is in the midst of a chaotic period caused by the economic recession.
It is not uncommon for someone to die at the hands of some inexplicable murderer, and it is not commonplace for everyone to say it, but at least it is used to it.
Look at this from a slightly ironic point of view.
At least Rosetta himself has the qualifications to awaken psionic powers, and successfully dealt with the attack of the 'corpse dog', sitting here, instead of dying randomly and unfortunately in an unknown corner like many other deceased.
Thinking about it this way, Rosetta considers herself lucky.
At least he's not dead, and he's mastered what he's chasing.'
What's even more fortunate is that he and Ishiizaki are just 'one-sided', maybe there are some deeper conspiracies behind him who planned the escape, but at least for now, he doesn't have the ability to find his location so quickly by relying on a little information in a short period of time.
Come to think of it.
Rosetta's mood is finally a little better.
Raising his palm, he looked at the clearly defined muscle outline on his arm, the injury he had suffered yesterday was difficult to find, and until this moment, he felt even more that the 'psionic energy' was such a wonderful thing that could make that level of injury disappear in a short period of time.
Even if I don't have the opportunity to go to the hospital for a thorough physical examination yet.
But compared with the previous situation, he can still feel that after experiencing the awakening of spiritual energy, his physical fitness has also been strengthened as a whole, and he has returned to the ideal health state that exists theoretically.
Tick.
Rosetta reached out to catch a drop of residual rain dripping from the corner of the eaves, and looked at herself from the standing water in her palm.
Not far away, in the shadow of the building, near the telephone pole, two or three sparrows or crows were pecking at the ground, even if they felt the sight of the people, they did not panic, but looked up at Rosetta indifferently, and after a while, they flapped their wings and climbed up the leaden gray sky.
Looking at this scene, because the soul bound by gravity was so heavy, he suddenly had a strong urge to jump out of the window and fly into the sky with these birds.
But in the end, he didn't do it after all, and perhaps it was the physical body that trapped him on the ground.
Jingle bells.
At this moment, a disturbing voice suddenly sounded.
- This is a summons call from the Antgawa City Metropolitan Police Department.
