Chapter 142 Facts?
Daytime.
The name weighed heavily on the hearts of the three people. The familiar handwriting on the paper indicated the place of the appointment, like an undisguised signal, telling them that the truth was right before their eyes, just waiting for the three of them to unveil the curtain.
It will be able to uncover all the confusion and puzzlement that have been there for these days, tear off the scab that has not yet healed and reveal the blurred flesh and blood underneath.
[See you on the rooftop of the east building.] Lin Muyu murmured about the meeting point, and suddenly felt a chill in his heart because of this place with special meaning.
Is it intentional?
Si and An looked towards the windowsill. The wide-open window displayed the view outside. The wind kept flowing into the room, making the curtains rustle. He walked over and closed the window gently.
【Since he took the initiative to propose it, let's go. 】The brown-haired young man said in a calm voice, 【There's nothing to do right now anyway, and we just happen to have a lot of problems. 】
Ye Yunhe had a blank expression on her face. Her gaze lingered in the dormitory, which was neither too big nor too small, for a moment before she walked out the door first.
The barrage of comments became tense unconsciously.
"It feels so close... It's completely different from before."
"It's complicated, isn't it? I don't know what the right expression should be. A senior who saved my life several times has now become the one who is suspected of causing the death of my companions, and I have become a forced beneficiary. I can only say that it's like a thorn in my throat... (bites the handkerchief)"
"It may sound a little cold, but in this unsolvable situation, one death is much better than eight deaths (down)"
"It is indeed unsolvable, just like the trolley problem. This kind of situation where you put human lives on the line as a choice to find the best solution will undoubtedly have a tragic ending, so I never choose it."
"Anyway, read on and see what the truth is."
…
The door to the rooftop of the east building was slightly open, and the chain was thrown aside openly, winding on the ground.
Ye Yunhe walked the fastest and pushed the door open directly upon seeing this.
The young man in a white shirt stood by the railing, with his arms folded, gazing into the distance. Only his thin back was facing the three people, as if he was distracted.
The last time we met was at the closing ceremony of a competition.
[Mr. Bai Day. 】she called out.
The young man turned his head, a faint smile on his lips, and glanced at the three people. His attitude was as natural as if he was treating good friends he hadn't seen for a long time, and it seemed a little hypocritical because of the inappropriateness at the moment.
[It came very quickly.] 】He replied casually, his tone worried, [The letter clearly said afternoon, why are you here now? You are tired from the journey, so it is better to take a rest. 】
【Aren’t you already waiting here? Lin Muyu took a few steps closer, and his usual gentle expression faded away. "Let's not talk about these things that we all know. Please allow us to get straight to the point." 】
He was so eager for an answer that he even lost the "etiquette" he usually strictly adhered to, and spoke bluntly with a sharp aggression: "Can you tell us, what did you talk about in that conversation with Qi Heng?" What did you tell him? What does the "amulet" handed to him represent? 】
Si and An stood aside, staring at the young man quietly.
High-level psychics are always arrogant. Not to mention the scene where I was almost pointed at and questioned.
But Bai Zhou just smiled silently and pondered the words as he was told. There was no trace of surprise on his face which always smiled, perhaps he already knew the situation he would encounter.
But it is this kind of effortless and unchanging look that makes people feel even colder.
In the picture, Bai Ri is leaning on the railing. He didn't wear that long black windbreaker today, and the cool breeze from high above only lifted the hem of his shirt.
[Of course, I will answer your questions one by one. This is the right of the parties involved. 】
The young man lowered his eyelids slightly in thought, and said in a calm tone: [Do you still remember the "special body" I mentioned earlier? 】
[For some reason, I did not tell you everything at that time. I only mentioned the energy affinity of the young man, but did not tell you his specialness. 】
Why do you know him so well? Lin Muyu immediately asked, Even the government has no idea about Xiaoheng's physique. 】
He stared at Bai Zhou: [What is your relationship with Xiao Heng? 】
The doubts that had been hidden due to respect and trust were exposed. Why did the boy remain silent when Bai Zhou was mentioned; why, although they were both potential superpowers, Bai Zhou never took the initiative to show friendliness to the boy in the same team; and why, on the eve of heading to the special copy, he gave the boy a strange "amulet" and intentionally waited for him in the pavilion.
Everything has a traceable history. Perhaps even the initial encounter in the Mountain God copy was based on someone's instigation and the other party's unspeakable reasons.
These days of healing. In fact, the three of them did not show any signs of excessive emotional outburst. They actively cooperated with Xinyi's treatment plan and strived to recover as quickly as possible, which made some people feel relieved.
But whenever it was late at night and everyone was asleep, those extremely turbulent negative emotions that had been forced back would come crashing down like a tsunami, followed by self-mutilation recollections again and again, trying to capture the details of every minute and every second to perfect the guesses that had already been outlined in their minds.
Was their meeting with Qi Heng a coincidence? Is their current fate just a necessary move in the chess game? Is the trust they showed nothing but a knife stabbing them in the heart in the future?
They think this way all the time. Qi Heng's death was too profound, and those two barely audible apologies were like a thorn in the flesh.
Please answer us. 】
The three of them stared at the young man who could give them the answer.
Bai Zhou sighed.
[That was a really long experience, and I don’t know how to describe it for a moment. 】
An amulet appeared in the young man's palm at some point, and he gently held it and rubbed the lines on it. Ye Yunhe was startled and immediately looked down at his empty pockets. His wooden sign had been taken away without anyone noticing.
She pursed her lips and glared at the daylight.
The other person smiled at her, pinched the wooden sign between his fingertips and shook it gently: [Don't be angry, I just want to remind you, it's better not to carry this prop with you. After all, it can only be considered positive when the four are a whole. If one part is missing, it will become evil and will even suck the host's blood. 】
[Are you still recovering from your injuries?] If you want to get better quickly, it's best to put this wooden sign in the farthest cabinet. 】
He tossed the wooden sign, which could no longer be called a "talisman".
[As for the relationship between me and that boy, I think I can call it...]
[The relationship between the giver and the given.] He didn't lie to you. He was indeed not familiar with me, and could even be said to dislike me. This was just my one-sided understanding of him. How strange, since we haven't met each other many times. 】
【What's the meaning? 】Ye Yunhe frowned and resisted the urge to snatch the wooden sign.
[Don’t be impatient, I told you, this is a very long experience. Bai Zhou said softly, “Let’s start with the young man’s life story. 】
…
Two years ago, the Dark Nest captured people with special abilities for human experiments, and plundered a group of ordinary people as carriers of the black fog. They were used to withstand the erosion of the fog and eventually mutate into deformities.
The madness of the Dark Nest was soon met with righteous sanctions. The government and all the guilds joined together to encircle and suppress this cruel camp.
As a result, that area was left in ruins with no grass growing on it, and it is still despised by everyone today.
In order to reassure the people, the news informed them that "all the cultists have been wiped out." However, this was not the case. The leader of the Dark Nest mysteriously disappeared during the siege, as if he had never appeared. The government only learned of this person's existence during the interrogation of other cult members.
It wasn't until the sudden attack a few months ago that everyone was informed of the Dark Nest's return. Due to the daylight, they did not succeed, but it also demonstrated their further strength.
[I found the location of the Dark Nest a year ago. Unfortunately, a cunning rabbit has three burrows. I only caused an explosion to stop their progress, but failed to completely dig out the body of the dark nest. 】
The day tells the story slowly.
【During that attack, I discovered "Qi Heng". 】
The black fog has the ability to corrode people. Even the "special black fog" possessed by the Dark Nest cannot avoid this. In addition to slowing down its speed, the carrier that is parasitized by it and given power will gradually be corroded into an empty shell and eventually die.
For Dark Nest, this is a side effect that must be addressed.
Therefore, the so-called "energy body" was born.
The carrier formed by the pure supernatural energy purified by countless supernatural beings has a physique that is superior to the "energy affinity body". Because it has the same origin as the black fog, it is capable of withstanding the constant erosion of the fog.
Placing the soul that has lost its body into it is a perfect rebirth.
Dark Nest worked hard for this, investing a lot of money and lives, just to develop this perfect second life.
It certainly won't be easy. The experiment failed countless times. The energy body was not as immune to the black fog as expected. Its different nature made it repel the fog the moment it touched it, and the body that had been condensed with great difficulty also disintegrated.
In the end, only an energy body remained. The researchers had lost their resolve to contain it, and could only sigh as they placed the unfinished carrier into the deepest part and began the second experiment after the changes.
The energy body that was locked in a small room and connected to many instruments was forgotten in the corner until the sudden huge explosion blew up the energy body born from the second experiment.
When the young man who performed the astonishing move entered the dark nest and killed all the cultists who were crying and collapsing, he found the energy body who had not yet developed self-awareness in the area that had not been affected.
[He had no facial features at that time, only a rough outline of his body, and his entire body was covered with white energy light, so soft that it did not seem like an existence that could be created by the Dark Nest. 】
Bai Dayu recalled the incident with a smile, as if he could still remember his surprise at that time.
[I didn't expect the Dark Nest's ambition to be so big that they actually thought they could create new life forms and change the world forever. 】
[So I took the energy body away before the Dark Nest provided support and hid it. In fact, at the beginning, I didn’t expect that TA would actually develop self-awareness. 】
The newborn's mind is confused and dazed, with only slight fluctuations representing its awakening. TA could not remember what happened at that time, and just breathed like a newborn baby, using his innate skills to absorb energy from the outside world.
I gave him a name. 】
[I used my supernatural powers to control his incomplete mind, fabricated a false past for him, and placed him in an area close to the black fog. 】
[From then on, I would often observe him, watching him meet real humans, watching his abilities gradually improve, watching him become more and more like what I imagined him to be. 】
Bai Zhou raised his eyes and looked at the three people.
So I let him meet you. 】
