Detective Chen Yingsheng is an external expert for the Superpower Management Bureau. She uses a machine called "Kaleidoscope" to enter the bizarre tales constructed within the psychological...
Hearing the wish
The mentor on the bed slowly opened his eyes.
"You don't look like your mother, but you speak exactly like her. You both like to use declarative intonation to express interrogative sentences."
"Do you know Wenyuan?"
The tutor sat by the bed and smiled kindly: "Of course I know him. He was the first deformed person I raised."
"What are you talking about?"
"Wenyuan was the first deformed person I raised. I almost forgot that she was a human being replaced by super powers and treated her as a normal little girl."
The mentor stared at a point in the void with a nostalgic look: "I took her out of the Holy Pillar. The process of raising her was very difficult. After all, she is not a human child, but I felt the joy of being a father."
Chen Yingsheng laughed in anger and said sarcastically: "Thank you, then should I call you grandpa?"
"Don't call me grandpa." The teacher was still very calm, as if he didn't notice Chen Yingsheng's anger. "My emotions tell me that raising a daughter is a joy, and my reason tells me that the deformed person is not one of my kind, and I shouldn't have any feelings for her."
"Superpowers are not something that should exist in this world. They come from outside the world. From a scientific point of view, you can regard them as aliens; from a metaphysical point of view, you can regard them as demons."
Chen Yingsheng asked: "What is their purpose?"
"Replacing humans, you see. Their world is completely different from ours, there is no optics here. They don't need optics, and they don't need all science."
Chen Yingsheng quickly figured it out: "Because there is light in cognition, it is bright here"
"That's right." The instructor looked at her with praise, "I used my superpowers to build a different space. There is no light here. They believe there is light, so they created it."
"Isn't it terrifying? Just like the gods in human imagination, whatever you think is what you get. I had to imprison them in a different dimension, restrict their cognition, and use religious rules as the last line of defense."
"I'm glad that you triggered the last insurance. The other space will soon be filled with deformed people. I will invite you to trigger the insurance. I hope you won't refuse."
The insurance is the Yingzhou rule. Once it is triggered at a certain time, all deformed people will commit suicide. Therefore, there are no old people in Yingzhou, only young people. According to the instructor, he created more than one Yingzhou in the different space.
"Why should I believe what you say?" Chen Yingsheng said indifferently.
The instructor smiled and said, "When you ask this question, you will know that what I said is true."
Indeed, Chen Yingsheng felt extremely frustrated. A similar conversation had happened between her and Ren Shanshan.
In Liu Tianyi's kaleidoscope, she plays the role of a mentor, cracking all the truths, knowing all the secrets, and shattering Ren Shanshan's pretending to be calm.
Chen Yingsheng forced himself to calm down: "But Wenyuan is not a deformity."
"She is a deformed person. Wenyuan was born without internal organs. She is infertile."
Chen Yingsheng actually laughed out loud. She seemed to have heard an extremely funny joke and laughed so hard that tears came out.
The tutor struggled to move his body and sat down beside the bed: "You must be wondering, Wenyuan is infertile, where did you come from?"
Chen Yingsheng stopped smiling.
"Make a wish. A wish from Chen Tu."
"The Holy Pillar is Wenyuan's first believer. She was born from the Holy Pillar to fulfill the believers' wishes and is the believers' object of sustenance."
The bloody hole on the holy pillar appeared in front of Chen Yingsheng. She seemed to see the birth of the baby Wen Yuan, opening a pair of clear eyes among the corpses.
"Chen Tu is Wenyuan's second believer. His love for Wenyuan is not faith but close to it."
"I'm not here to listen to my parents' love story." Chen Yingsheng said expressionlessly.
"That's beyond simple love." The instructor laughed softly, "Chen Tu offered the faith of a person who had never had faith before, but he insisted on calling it love."
"What is Wenyuan's superpower?"
The instructor smiled and said, "You have already guessed it."
"Like He Kang, she is a wish-granting machine"
"You can understand it this way. You can even think that He Kang is the reincarnation of the deceased Wen Yuan. Superpowers can be transferred from one body to another."
Chen Yingsheng was unmoved: "You want to tell me that I just killed my mother with my own hands"
The instructor said nonchalantly: "That's not your mother, it's just a superpower. It's not your relative, nor is it your kind. Killing it is like killing all the deformed people in Yingzhou. Don't feel burdened, you are doing the right thing."
Chen Yingsheng couldn't utter a word.
It took her a long time to come back to her senses: "How long have you been killing deformed people?"
The mentor laughed briefly and replied simply: "For a lifetime."
He said: "The swordsman told me that you have met Hong Jinsheng."
"The traitor is the six people who participated in the Aku Kaleidoscope when Jianxia was young...it's Gongsun Shi!"
The mentor did not deny it, he continued: "Hong Jinsheng is my adoptive father, just like I am Wenyuan's adoptive father."
"You are the Son of God"
Hong Jinsheng said that he adopted two children and established the doctrine of the Trinity of the Holy Spirit, the Son, and the Holy Daughter in the church.
The instructor nodded: "My real name is Xie Guangen, and I am the first person with super powers born after the Silence Decade. Hong Jinsheng adopted me and used my abilities to create the Self-Religion with his support."
“That One”
"You know who she is."
Chen Yingsheng quickly reacted: "The living god of the Idol Cult... no, a false god, a supernatural being who can take over other people's bodies. She likes to appear in the form of a nun."
The mentor was very pleased: "It seems that you have met her. She is now the Patriarch of Agape. The Patriarch is the first person with super powers in the world, born before the New Calendar."
"The earliest people with special abilities worshipped her as a god, and at her instigation, they started a superpower war. She wanted to redefine the races to ensure that people with special abilities had a superior status."
He was talking about the superpower war from year 5 to 13 in the new calendar. Over the eight years, the war spread to the entire world, and the superpower users almost achieved their goal. Ordinary people without superpowers were afraid that they would drag the world to destruction.
Chen Yingsheng said: "But the 14th year of the new calendar ushered in a decade of silence."
During the ten years of silence, no one with super powers was born, and the war naturally ended.
"She did it." The instructor sighed. "Although she never admitted it, everyone knew it was her. At the time, no one knew why, but they just felt betrayed by the gods."
"Everyone found it incredible that she had been persecuted by ordinary people and had been so radical, but she suddenly gave up her hatred and ended the war."
"When I found out the truth, I realized that she was the savior of mankind. She delayed the extinction of mankind by ten years."
Thinking of the decisiveness and ruthlessness of the Patriarch who bit his tongue and committed suicide after possessing He Cuifeng, Chen Yingsheng roughly guessed what the so-called persecution was.
"How can she stop people with super powers from being born?" Chen Yingsheng guessed, "Another opportunity to make a wish requires the accumulation of human lives."
"Yes, you are as smart as your mother."
Chen Yingsheng asked: "Is it worth it to accumulate the wishing opportunities after eight years of war?"
The instructor looked at Chen Yingsheng as if he was looking at an ignorant child, and Chen Yingsheng hated that look.
"So far, what does the outside world think the nature of superpowers is?" the instructor asked.
"evolution."
"Yes, the mainstream voice outside is natural evolution, some people think it is genetic mutation, and there are conspiracy theories such as radioactive materials or nuclear pollution."
The instructor picked up the water cup on the bedside table and said, "A few people used their imagination to mention aliens or alien invasions, but they were ridiculed as mentally ill people who watched too many science fiction movies."
"Including Hong Jinsheng's Id Church, they all believe that superpowers are evolution. He calls ordinary people "dregs of medicine" and believes that humans are just a kind of medicinal material and a prerequisite for superpowers."
Before Chen Yingsheng saw the torso Teddy bear invade He Kang's body, she also supported the theory of natural evolution. This matter is like the extinction of dinosaurs, no one can tell the specific reason.
But she still said: "The origin of our development is science. Except for superpowers, everything can be understood. It is only a matter of time before our scientists can decipher everything in the world. This is what people have always known, and it is based on this knowledge that we have developed to the present."
"Everything can be cracked..." the teacher murmured, "I used to think so."
Chen Yingsheng said: "Even if we don't have super powers, we will continue to develop science."
"The existence of super powers will not allow science to continue to develop." The mentor sighed.
"Their abilities are idealistic and completely contrary to the science of our world. If I didn't have superpowers, a hundred years later, we would have invented top AI technology and even had space folding technology that could replace my superpowers."
Chen Yingsheng pondered: "But everything has slowed down, or even stagnated. Technology has not made the most critical breakthrough. AI is limited to deep learning, splicing existing text and pictures like corpses, and cannot have its own thinking and consciousness. Space folding is even more of a castle in the air."
She suddenly asked: "You can't kill all the deformed people in the alien space no matter what. What about the deformed people living in the outside world? They have replaced humans, like pseudo-humans. What will happen to them?"
"Not very good." The instructor showed a confused look on his face, "The little girl adopted by Wang Ruibin escaped from Yingzhou. How is she?"
Chen Yingsheng shook his head. Although the little girl was different from normal children, she had never done anything out of line. She was certainly not like the aliens in science fiction movies, who wanted to kill humans and destroy the earth.
If the mentor had not brought her to the different dimension and told her the truth about her superpowers, she would never have thought of Lao Wang's adopted daughter.
The instructor laughed sarcastically: "Wang Ruibin's son sacrificed himself for this, and a human used his life to save a superpower. How ridiculous."
He put away the smile on his face: "I used to think so, just like the Patriarch used to start a war."
He stared at his severed limbs in a trance, and suddenly said: "Holy Spirit Hong Jinsheng was deceived by me. I broke my legs."
Chen Yingsheng sat side by side with him on the bed, listening quietly.
"I fabricated a lie that the pastor wanted to seize the Holy Spirit and drove my adoptive father crazy. Then I colluded with the Saint and provided the Holy Spirit with a false ascension ceremony, just to create the next wish-granting machine."
"I handed my adopted father over to the Patriarch and watched him being locked up in an old factory, becoming a cow that produced blood for the Patriarch. I created a different dimension, raised a rock and broke my legs, and vowed to live my whole life disguised as a deformed person, imprisoning and killing these superpowers wearing human skin."
Chen Yingsheng couldn't help but turn his head to look at his mentor's face. His face was peaceful, without tears or regrets, just a little confused.
"At first, I killed them whenever I saw them. Later, I discovered that superpowers could be transferred, so I began to imprison them. Eventually, I found a way to control them through religion, raised them up, and let them kill themselves."
"There is no difference between me and my adopted father. The Holy Spirit uses religion to control ordinary people and the dregs in his mouth; I use religion to control deformed people and the superpowers I hate."
The instructor turned around and looked at Chen Yingsheng. His expression finally showed a ripple: "But from the moment Wen Yuan was born from the Holy Pillar, I couldn't treat her as a deformed person."
