Layla looked at Louisa's hand, which was wrapped in a layer of animal skins under her forearms, and her palms and fingers were wrapped in linen—an outfit that would have led her to believe that Luisa was a transcendent with a bow and arrow, but she was not carrying any bows or arrows or other long-range throwing weapons.

Luisa stroked the strip of linen in her palm, and her mind returned to the time when the girl died in the wilderness.

At that time, the angry villagers were chasing them, and the villagers did not know that the girl was dead, and they would not spare the girl who dared to kill her father, because it would be tantamount to a challenge to authority and tradition, and if the girl was not lynched in the harshest way, the other girls would be in trouble in the future, and the supremacy of the male family would be shaken.

Luisa, on the other hand, is believed to be the devil who seduces the girl to fall, and if she is caught, the only result that awaits her is to be burned to death.

In such a place where the sky is high and the emperor is far away, the law is meaningless.

Among the villagers were hunters who were very good at tracking, and Louisa fled in a hurry, not daring to take refuge in any village, so she had to dig into the dense forests and tall grass.

On several occasions, the trackers passed by her and nearly caught her, but luckily they didn't have a hound, otherwise she wouldn't have escaped.

In this way, she did not dare to turn back, and went deeper and deeper into the dense forest, anyway, even if she was eaten by wild beasts in the dense forest, it was better than being burned alive.

During the run, she was scared from morning till night, and didn't have much time to think about her own affairs, except vaguely that Layla and the girl's affairs might have something to do with her.

Fortunately, it was the rainy season, and the rainforest was covered with torrential rain for three days, washing away her whereabouts, and the villagers gave up after looking for her for a few days and couldn't find her, and the villagers knew that there were tribes in the depths of the rainforest that they could not afford to mess with.

But Luisa didn't know that the villagers had long since stopped chasing her, and besides, she was lost, and even if she knew, she couldn't get out, so she could only go in one direction, and when she was thirsty, she poured rain on her stomach, and if she was hungry, there was no shortage of food in the rainforest, as long as she could get her mouth down.

I don't know how long she walked, Luisa's physical strength became weaker and weaker, and she was always drenched in the rain that caused her to start a fever, and finally one day, she fell to the ground while walking, and could no longer stand up, and slowly lost consciousness.

She thought she was going to die, a dry skeleton everywhere in the rainforest, but she wasn't dead, in the haze caused by the high fever, she felt her body moved, moved somewhere, with the light of the blazing fire, the sound of party-like singing and dancing, and the people sitting beside her and looking down at her.

She was smeared with some cool, viscous substance on her forehead, and a bitter medicinal soup was poured into her mouth, and then she fell into a deep sleep.

When she awoke again, she saw a roof made of thick thatch and large banana leaves, surrounded by the smell of incense, and in the distance there were people talking, all women, in a native language she was not very familiar with.

Someone around noticed that she was awake and walked out of the hut to find someone.

After a while, a woman walked into the room, looking young, but there was a sense of vicissitudes in her eyes that did not match her age.

After changing a few different local languages to determine which one Luisa could understand, she smiled and asked, "How do you feel when you finally wake up?"

Luisa tried to sit up, but her whole body ached as if she had fallen apart, and her mind was not yet fully clear, but at least the high fever had subsided.

She pressed Luisa's shoulder, "You're just sick, let's stay in bed for one more day." ”

"I ...... Where am I?"

Louisa looked sideways at the door of the hut, and she could see women coming and going, dressed as if they were from a primitive tribe, and these women were all young, and there were also half-grown children a year or two younger than her.

However, these women are full of confidence and peace in their eyes, and they look straight ahead, much like women in developed countries, unlike the indigenous women in the village.

"This is our clan, and I am the chief here. ”

Luisa looked at the chief again in surprise, this was really a primitive tribe?

The chief's majestic demeanor didn't look like a joke, and everything around him didn't look like a joke.

"Yes...... You saved me?" asked Luisa.

"It's the gods who sent you here. The chief corrected her, "We thank God for the gift. ”

Luisa didn't quite understand, but it was apparently the primitive tribe that saved her.

"Thank you. She said.

The chief smiled, "There is no need for gratitude between sisters. ”

Luisa frowned, she felt that this chief might have misunderstood something, she was the first time she had come to this tribe, why did she call her brother and sister all of a sudden?

"Anyway, thank you so much for saving me. She was in a completely unfamiliar environment, and she didn't know what the character of these primitive tribes was, so she didn't dare to say anything more, for fear of angering them.

The chief's eyes seemed to see through everything, and he said: "Today you have to take medicine for another day, I will send someone to bring it to you, tomorrow you can get out of bed, if you need anything, just say it, there is someone outside who can help you...... By the way, sleep well today and don't think nonsense. ”

“...... Good. ”

Luisa nodded, it seemed that these people were quite talkative, but the chief's last words seemed to be meaningful, and she did not understand.

When the chief was gone, she breathed a sigh of relief and lay back on her bed, in a comfortable position on her side, where she could see the door.

Somehow, as long as the chief stood beside her, there would be an invisible sense of coercion enveloping her, especially the chief's eyes, as if they were extremely penetrating, seeing through every inch of her body through her clothes, and everything about her was hidden in front of the chief's eyes...... Let's hope it's just a delusion on her part.

A young woman came in and brought her water, medicine, and food, and she finally didn't have to be dodged anymore, and she took the opportunity to knock on a few questions, but the other party knew everything, but there was no useful information, only that the tribe was located in the depths of the rainforest, and that she didn't know how far away it was from the nearest city, only that it was far away.

There is no way, she can only wait for her illness to recover before trying to find a way to ask others, she spent the whole day lying in bed silently observing, and then found a very interesting problem, that is, there are no old people in this tribe, not even middle-aged people, and no children under the age of ten, judging from the appearance, the ages are distributed between the teens and twenties, and it confirms her previous guess, this is a daughter country.

Then, when she saw a girl carrying a behemoth beast on her shoulders and walking into the square in the center of the tribe, she finally did not calm down, because the giant beast was too big, and the girl's body size was too ordinary in comparison, it was like an ant carrying a prey several times or even more than ten times heavier than her own size and weight, and the girl's demeanor was as light as a weight.

Luisa was dumbfounded, almost doubting her eyes, worried that she was still dreaming with a high fever, judging by the sound and vibration caused by the giant beast being thrown to the ground, the giant beast was obviously not a movie prop made of styrofoam. Clouds

Not to mention a girl of ordinary size, even if it is a male Hercules, it is impossible to walk with such a behemoth on his shoulder.

Idle people came to help skin the beast, bleed it, and clean its entrails, and Luisa was so shocked that she was numb when she saw another girl ignite a large bundle of firewood with her free hands.

Did I see hallucinations in my fever, or were these real?

Luisa couldn't help but think of Layla and the girl on the road, the two of them successively showed different but equally shocking abilities, which could be called an outlier among ordinary people, but if they were placed in this tribe, they had no sense of disobedience.

But why is that? Why do they have such amazing abilities?

When she was in school, she had heard about the transcendentals, but she always felt that those transcendents were far away from her, no different from UFOs or Bigfoot, they were all similar to urban legends.

Now that she naturally thought of the transcendent, there was no other explanation, unless she thought she was dreaming with a fever or had gone mad.

She didn't know what was going on with Layla, but before the girl died, Luisa asked her how she killed her father, but she was also ignorant, saying that she didn't have such skills before.

Layla's passive beating when she was under siege doesn't look like she's pretending, and Layla's personality doesn't look like she's a stealthy person, so the reasonable explanation is that Layla awakened her abilities in times of crisis.

The same is true of the girl, who also awakened her abilities in times of crisis.

So is this a coincidence?

Every day, every hour, every second around the world, there may be more than one young woman in a life-threatening moment, but are they all empowered? Apparently not.

It was when Luisa was there, when she came into contact with their skin, that they first awakened their abilities, and it would be too coincidental to say that it was a coincidence.

And her bizarre collapse at the same moment, it is impossible to be a coincidence.

In addition to eating, drinking, and Lazar, Luisa spent the whole day in bed, thinking about this problem over and over again, she only hated that there were no computers and networks in the primitive tribe, otherwise she would be willing to pay any cost to search the Internet.

In fact, even if she searched the Internet, it was useless, her ability was too special, and no similar ability appeared in the information held by any transcendent organization.

In a sense, her abilities are simply against the sky.

The next day, the chief reappeared in her hut, and she was able to sit up on her own, but her whole body was still in pain, and this is called sickness that comes and goes.

"You didn't sleep well last night. The chief was not surprised to see her tired face.

Luisa thought of the last words of the chief yesterday, which was to remind her to sleep well at night and not to be cranky, as if she had foreseen her insomnia last night...... This can be barely explained, after all, she has been in a coma for a long time and has slept too much.

She had a lot to ask the chief, but the chief seemed to read through her mind and said, "As you can see, most of the members of this tribe have different magical abilities. ”

Luisa's suspicions were confirmed, but she was still speechless in shock, her eyes fixed on the chieftain, and even if she didn't possess mind reading, she could read the meaning of her eyes—and you have a ...... Such an ability?

The chief nodded, and said frankly, "My ability is to foresee the actions that you and others will choose. ”

Luisa had seen at least four or five magical abilities, and she still thought it was strange to see such a thing in the future, could the chief even know which foot she would take when she got out of bed?

"No, it's not what you think. The chief smiled, "But I can foresee that you will stay, and you will become the great priest of the tribe, leading the tribe to the pinnacle of glory." ”

This is too, Luisa doesn't believe a word, the most important stage of her life is to be influenced by modern Western civilization in school, how can she be willing to stay in this primitive tribe where birds don't as a big sacrifice?

This so-called chief may be just a paranoiac living in his own world.

She rolled over and got out of bed, determined to leave this strange tribe even if the chief didn't tell her which direction to go to the nearest city.

The chief suddenly grabbed her arm and handed over a leaf.

"Turn it over and take a look. ”

Luisa looked over the leaves suspiciously, only to see two words written in charcoal behind the leaves - left foot.

She looked down and saw that her left foot was just touching the ground, and her right foot was still hanging in the air.

"If you say it in advance, it won't work. The chief smiled, "Do you want to believe me now, or do you want to see more evidence......?" What are you capable of?"

Yes, it is true that you can't say it in advance, otherwise if the chief says she will step on her left foot to bed, she may deliberately step on her right foot.

To be honest, after the initial shock, Luisa still didn't believe it, because the chief could have prepared two leaves in advance, one with "left foot" and the other with "right foot", which one should be taken out depends on the situation, and she didn't have a third foot anyway, so it still can't be ruled out that this is some kind of scam.

But how did the chief know what she was thinking, how did he know that the words on the tree had been prepared in advance of the joking thoughts that had flashed through her mind?

"My ...... Ability?"

What's more, these four words are like a magnet that draws her firmly and makes her unable to move.

"Do you know what I'm capable of?"

"No, I don't know. The chief shook his head, "But I know what will happen later, remember what I said earlier, most of the members of the tribe have powers? The few members who do not have the ability to awaken are for you—in the incense, I see that you will take the hands of the girls of the tribe, and when you let go of the hand, they will be different from then on." ”

The chief stretched out his hands and gently held Louisa's hands together, as if he were holding some kind of treasure like no other.

"With your 'hands of God'. ”
