Chapter 54: The Beginning of the Story
The Demon King paused, then continued:
All in all, the Thorn Bird was afraid that the school officials would find out what they had done, and immediately fled after quickly locking off the space chamber.
"I pursued her from behind, and after many teleportations and space jumps, we fought in a makeshift half-dimensional space.
"It's been a long, long time since I've fought a truly powerful transcendent, and I've long since lost the strength I had been. And the Thorn Bird has mastered those strange psychic and illusionary magic, and has become more powerful than before.
"In that battle, I was on the back foot, using all my demonic power to barely push her back.
"Anyway, the final result of the battle was that the thorn bird fled, and the baby in my arms was also taken by me. And I was drained of all my strength, and I was deeply traumatized—a wound on the spirit plane that would be difficult to heal, and could fall into a long sleep at any moment.
"I landed on the ground with the baby and did a few anti-divination sessions on the thorn bird, and after confirming that the thorn bird could not find the baby, I was no longer able to move.
"With a transcendent power similar to demonic possession, I lodged in the baby's heart and fell into a long slumber, waiting for the day of recovery.
"This baby is you, Russell!"
With the Demon King's narration, scenes of the past that spanned more than ten years flashed in Russell's mind.
"I see, that's where I came from. I was made by the thorn bird in some unknown way. Russell let out a long sigh.
He can imagine that the crying baby on the side of the road was finally taken in an orphanage, and then adopted by his current adoptive parents, and given a new name - "Russell".
That's where it all began.
"Then, the goal of the thorn bird to create this occult disease is clear. I think she may have known or speculated through some means that the baby she had made had entered the Academy.
"And when I was created, I was endowed with a special magical talent, and my Mutant talent is a manifestation of that. And the more critical talent should be in supernatural medicine.
"And the purpose of this occult disease is to find me. When the plague was rampant, I tried to turn the tide, in fact, revealing my identity, allowing the Thornbird to find me, knowing that I was the baby she had created 16 years earlier.
"Even, the ultimate effect of the occult disease, which is to turn the transcendent back into an ordinary person, is set against me. If I can refine in the future a medicine that allows ordinary people to have extraordinary power permanently, rather than a special medicine for a short period of time, then I may also have the ability to make those extraordinary people who have turned back into ordinary people healed as before. ”
Russell expressed his speculation, which was very much in line with the information that the Thorn Bird had revealed to him.
"Indeed, I think that's the most likely hypothesis." Duncan said from the side.
However, the information provided by the Demon King did not answer Russell's real doubts.
Russell knows very well that the most special thing about him is obviously the characteristic of a "man in the play", a special physique that can distort fate. In comparison, his talent in supernatural medicine is not so special.
It is often the ability to distort fate in the astrological and numerological systems, and the thorn bird is not a master of the astrological and numerological systems, in what way did it endow itself with such characteristics?
There must be some secret to the process of the thorn bird making him!
Suddenly, Russell had an extremely bold guess.
This speculation may seem particularly ridiculous, but it is really not impossible in the supernatural realm.
Unfortunately, there is not enough evidence to support this hypothesis.
"That's all I've been through, and what I know about the Thorn Bird. Do you have any other questions, teenager? The Demon King's voice interrupted Russell's musings.
Russell thought about it for a while, and felt that everything that the Demon King should have said about his background and the origin of the Demon King had already been said, and the remaining unsolved mysteries had to be explored by himself.
He then asked another small question that he hadn't mentioned before:
"Shouting three thorn birds, the senior sister's eyes came from the sky. Is this legend true? That is, if I shout the thorn bird three times in a row, or repeat the name three times in my mind, will she really perceive it?
"If so, what can the thorn bird perceive? Who is the speaker and where is the speaker? Can you hear the full sentence? ”
The Demon King was obviously a little surprised: "Is there still such a legend?" I don't know about this, I have limited knowledge of the Thorn Bird's extraordinary abilities. ”
"It's true." Duncan replied:
"It's just that now that the protective barrier of the academy has been opened, I think there's a high probability that she won't feel it. I guess I can only ask her personally what the thorn bird can perceive, but my extrasensory perception as the world's number one prophet tells me that this is not a very practical ability. ”
It was actually true, Russell's indifferent gaze was a little more solemn, and he had a clearer understanding of the strength of this legendary figure, and the idea of promoting the grade to obtain a more advanced and extraordinary ability was also more urgent.
"There's nothing to worry about, is it?" Seeing Russell's solemn face, Duncan spread his hands and deliberately shouted loudly, "Thorn Bird, Thorn Bird, Thorn Bird." ”
"What are you doing? Mr. Principal. The wind chimes shivered in fright, and almost tried to run away.
Then, she immediately realized that there were two top existences here, the Demon King and Duncan, and the Academy's protective barrier had also been opened, so she didn't have to worry about the threat of the Thorn Bird at all.
"A harassing phone call." Duncan then replied as a matter of course, "If we have nothing to do in the future, we will shout three more thorn birds, and the more times we do, we will naturally be desensitized, and the thorn birds will definitely block our number." Thorn Bird, Thorn Bird, Thorn Bird. ”
"Mr. Headmaster, won't there be any security issues with this?" The wind chimes are still skeptical.
Duncan held up a slender finger and pointed to his forehead:
"My instincts tell me there's no danger."
As one of the world's top masters of astrology and numerology, Duncan's intuition itself is equivalent to accurate prophecy, and he is able to detect the dangers hidden in anything.
After receiving the assurance of Mr. Headmaster, Wind Chime thought about how bad the thorn bird was, and shouted like Duncan just now:
"Okay, I'll try it too. Thorn Bird, Thorn Bird, Thorn Bird. Thorn Bird, Thorn Bird, Thorn Bird. ”
Russell smiled as he watched the wind chimes behave like a child.
The book will probably be serialized for more than a month.
