Chapter 196 Physical Examination (Part 1)
The dizziness gradually faded away, Chen Xiao'er opened her arms, and the moment she hugged Chen Xiaotong, the bubble of the dream completely dissipated.
There was no such thing as a dream. What she had was...complete reality.
Mother is gone.
The sad memories make my heart ache intermittently, but my sister's soft body in my arms is so warm.
Xiaotong is still alive. She will definitely live a good life in the future and will definitely not be ruined by those bad guys.
With eager anticipation, Chen Xiao'er slowly raised her head towards the professor. "Teacher, is Xiaotong injured? She's very smart. Are there any suitable schools in the United City..."
She asked anxiously, her words being confusing.
There is no way. This semester is almost over. If I miss the last chance to enroll, I will have to wait until next semester.
It's not just a matter of course progress; children with some disabilities like Xiaotong may find it difficult to integrate into the group at the beginning.
If you can audit classes and make up for them at the end of the semester, and use the initial sympathy and curiosity to get through the end of the semester, you will be "old classmates" after the winter vacation.
Looking at Chen Xiao'er's clear eyes, Mi Luo's heart sank.
She loved the child's gentleness and kindness, but she had to take advantage of this beautiful and inappropriate feeling.
[“This choice is good for her too.”]
Yes, this choice is good for everyone.
Milo sighed softly in her heart: she had taken the newborn snake to the outside of the isolation line for testing before, and wanted to compare the test results of "at a distance" with the results of "Xiao'e and Xiaotong leaning against each other".
Perhaps the few days of interaction had somewhat lowered the newborn snake's guard, and Xiaotong didn't reject the "wall of separation" she shared. Although she was a behemoth of the abyss, she was cooperative by human child standards.
The test results were not ideal.
The Newborn Serpent's ability is more about pure destruction than "transformation." Its energy level doesn't reach the level of authority, but it's terrifyingly powerful compared to the abyssal creatures, artifacts, and man-made weapons on the surface.
If the Newborn Serpent were just an indestructible weapon, the church would probably be satisfied and keep it carefully.
However, as an abyss creature with "at least the intelligence of a 15-year-old child" and "highly personified", simply possessing powerful destructive power is not good news.
Mi Luo gathered her thoughts and dragged a chair over to sit beside the bed, her hands folded on her knees. "Student Chen Xiao'er, regarding your sister..."
She paused, then smiled politely and reassuringly. "Chen Xiaotong is in good health, but there are some issues with her psychological evaluation. Given her current condition, she's not suitable for attending a regular elementary school. Let's do some intelligence testing first, and hopefully arrange for her to attend the elementary school affiliated with Taoli University."
"Chen Xiaotong's energy level is too high. She's not in a good position to be away from you, nor is it suitable for her to be transferred to another organization. Let's do some ability testing first and try to arrange a more suitable position for her."
Even though he knew that making up a story that had nothing to do with the abnormality to deceive Chen Xiao'e might be more effective and help her relieve her emotions, Milo still went against the crowd and prepared to tell her part of the truth with the intervention of the cognitive filter.
This is not to reduce guilt, but to slowly analyze the operating logic of the cognitive filter.
She and some experts have a vague intuition that cognitive filters may have a tendency to protect their owners, just like some superpowers that act on themselves.
If the church deals with Chen Xiao'er with great malice or deception, it might fall flat on its face due to the distortion of its cognitive filter.
The value that Chen Xiaotong has shown now cannot make the church take risks for her in front of Chen Xiao'er.
Intelligence test? Chen Xiao'er nodded in understanding: "Okay."
She quickly understood the professor's hint: the school was willing to make an exception and admit Chen Xiaotong for various reasons, such as part of the property it received from the Chen family.
Of course, the affiliated primary school of Taoli University does not accept everyone. There is still a process to prove that the child is gifted.
She took Xiaotong's hand and staggered out: "Are we going now?" She didn't know why her legs felt heavy and light at times, but she was anxious to complete Xiaotong's admission process, so she deliberately lifted her knees to prevent herself from swaying too much.
A blue light flashed in Ling's eyes [Input: Chen Xiao'er's body is experiencing energy overflow and is suspected to be in an unbalanced state].
She quickly stepped forward and held Xiao'er's left arm, and together with the newborn snake holding her right hand, they formed a support and helped Chen Xiao'er walk out of the glass door.
As she walked out the door, her classmates made way for her.
"Xiao Ai."
"Chen Xiao'er."
The classmates were holding flowers and fruits, and their cautious joy made Chen Xiao'er's mood as refreshing as bubbles.
I really want to get better soon so I can tell everyone I'm fine.
She pursed her lips, but still couldn't bring herself to smile easily.
Even with the gentle expressions and gifts from my classmates before me, my mind was flooded with memories of my mother's final look before her death. The bright red flames, the bright red sheets, and the bright red... blood.
Who said revenge can make people numb? Maybe, but until all the enemies are killed, there is no way to remove the knife stuck in the heart.
it hurts.
"Sister?" Chen Xiaotong raised her face and shook her right hand.
"..." She couldn't smile in front of her classmates no matter what, but when she saw her younger sister, a burden heavier than the last look at her mother came down on her, distorting her expression.
"It's okay, let's do a test first, it's okay." She pulled her arm out of Ling's arms and touched her sister's forehead tremblingly. She even managed a little smile, but it looked ugly no matter how you looked at it.
"Sister." Her younger sister held her wrist and rubbed her forehead against her palm: "It's okay, you still have me."
The fluctuations of the newborn snake became stronger and stronger. The instrument closer to Chen Xiaotong immediately jumped from 2 points to 290, which was on the verge of an alarm. The difference was only 12 points, or an instantaneous difference of 300 points.
The drastic fluctuations in the values made the recorders' faces turn pale: Such a huge fluctuation was not a deterrent or offensive display from the Newborn Snake, but merely its normal energy output to convey the correct message?!
Brush.
The girl's pupils on the screen changed to snake eyes. She leaned against Chen Xiao'er's palm and showed her sharp fangs to the monitor: "I like it here very much."
......
Beep beep.
Where did the notification sound come from? Chen Xiao'er looked around but saw nothing.
She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, picked up her sister again as if nothing had happened, and followed the professor to the silver metal door not far away.
There's a crescent moon symbol on the door. Could it represent radioactivity? Maybe there are x-rays inside.
The metal door closed silently, and Zero was stopped outside by security, leaving only them to enter.
......
Miroku was the first to walk into the room. This was a special space created by the church to test the power of the newly born snake.
Previous destructive power tests have concluded that the Newborn Snake can completely destroy objects with a protection level between X2 and X3 within 1 second.
The "complete destruction" here refers to the destruction of all technically detectable material existence without leaving any trace.
Now the room is very clean, with only two sets of detection devices besides the wall tiles, tables and chairs and wooden floors.
One set is a refining furnace placed in the corner, and the other set is a plastic box placed on the table. This box contains the test props that will be used next.
Milo walked to the table and opened the plastic box, which contained an apple, a ceramic knife and a matching small plate. Finally, there was a very delicate red velvet gift box, which you could tell at first glance was used to hold jewelry rings.
These three things all have special meanings. They are used to test whether the combined abilities of Chen Xiao'er and the Newborn Snake have the ability to "change essence", "strengthen essence" and "create something out of nothing".
The "apple" that looks very much like an apple is either a wonder or an anomaly, or it is an apple made of wax.
The ceramic knife is a low-level artifact without a number or name. Its only function is cutting. At most, it can cut through the skin of ordinary people and a small number of low-level abnormalities.
The plate next to it is not part of the wonder, but just looks like a decoration that accompanies the dinner plate.
As for the small red velvet box, there was nothing inside.
[Reset to Zero] has demonstrated the functions of "changing essence", "strengthening essence", and "creating something out of nothing" in the past, but it can only achieve temporary changes, and has only changed anomalies, strange objects and super-powered people, and has not changed ordinary people and ordinary objects.
Chen Xiao'e had already personally undergone two power rituals, drawing upon an inordinate amount of abyssal power suitable for ascending. She now also had the support of the Newborn Serpent, and she was destined for some welcome changes.
"Please sit down. Let's sit together."
Miluo pulled a chair over for Chen Xiao'e to sit on. Since the chair was very narrow, Chen Xiao'e had to open her arms and let her sister sit on her lap.
This is also part of the test. The expert group believes that Chen Xiao'er and Chen Xiaotong, who have undergone a special power ceremony, can be regarded as a combination.
Milo first took out the wax apple, wrapped his palms around the upper and lower ends and broke it "hard".
Click.
There was a pre-determined centerline, with realistic flesh and core structures. But as soon as he heard the crisp sound of the flesh cracking, Milo knew he didn't need to say the prepared lines.
The wax apple has turned into a real apple.
The entire process involved no touching or verbal guidance. Chen Xiao'er simply saw her vague movements and had the idea that "the professor wanted to open an apple with his bare hands."
Milo naturally put half of the apple back into the box and handed the other half to Chen Xiao'er. "Here, eat a little first and relax."
"Thank you," Chen Xiao'er said softly, trying to look up to appear more energetic. "The teacher is trying to comfort me at a time like this, so I can't act too badly."
She lowered her head and handed the apple to Xiaotong. The younger sister took a bite and her round eyes rolled around as if to say, "It's so sweet."
After Xiaotong took a bite, she silently pinched the apple and brought it to her sister's mouth. Chen Xiao'er carefully went around her fingers and took a small bite. It was indeed very sweet.
The apple juice is full of plant vitality, and the crisp and sweet taste scrapes across the tongue, bringing a real and alive feeling.
I really, really want to have a happy picnic with my mom, my crush, and all my friends one day.
In her beautiful delusion, the bright sunshine shines through the forest, illuminating the fallen leaves, toast, jam, snack bags and the faces of her friends.
"Sister, why are you crying?" Xiaotong let go and touched the corner of her eyes. The remaining apple fell to the floor, smashing out a little bit of fruit pulp.
