"What's there to be afraid of? As long as you nod, from now on, you are my friend!"
Meeting Lin Tianming's sincere eyes, the look of disbelief on the girl in the yellow skirt gradually faded away, replaced by the joy of making new friends.
But just as she was about to nod, the people who died in front of her flashed through her mind again.
"I...I don't want to hurt anyone...Being my friend...will only...will make you die faster than others..."
The mood of panic is spreading, and the girl in the yellow skirt is showing signs of releasing a strange black mist.
Seeing this, Lin Tianming immediately grabbed her arm and said, "I've already said I'm not afraid. And calm down. There are a lot of passers-by around here!"
After his reminder, the girl in the yellow skirt tried her best not to think about the past events that brought her fear, and her emotions gradually stabilized.
"Thank you, actually there is one thing I haven't told you..."
When Lin Tianming heard that the girl in the yellow skirt had something else to tell him, he asked, "What is it?"
The girl in the yellow skirt pursed her lips and slowly told Lin Tianming what she wanted to tell him.
"I... I really don't have any friends now... but... but a long, long time ago... so long ago that I can't even remember when it was... I also had friends at that time... but... but they are all dead..."
A long, long time ago, so long ago that I can’t even remember when it was?
Lin Tianming believed that the girl in the yellow skirt was definitely not lying because he had seen photos of her that had never changed over the years.
He felt that the time when she talked about having friends was probably longer than her oldest photo.
So long ago that he couldn't even imagine it.
After all, according to his inference and analysis, she is most likely the evil god!
In order to reassure the girl in the yellow skirt, Lin Tianming also took great pains: "It's okay, I'm different from your previous friends. I'm very sure that I will never be killed by you!"
I didn't expect Lin Tianming to say such a thing. The girl in the yellow skirt raised her pretty face, which was still as tender and tender as time went by, and stared at Lin Tianming blankly.
After looking at Lin Tianming for a while, the girl in the yellow skirt lowered her head again and looked at the ice cream in her hand.
"I... I know you're very powerful and have special powers... but compared to some of my old friends... you... you..."
At the end of the story, the girl in the yellow skirt didn't know how to continue.
Lin Tianming was curious about her words and asked, "What do you want to say? Just tell me!"
Seeing that Lin Tianming insisted that she speak, the girl in the yellow skirt whispered: "You...you are too weak..."
"ha?"
Lin Tianming was stunned.
Compared to the yellow skirt girl’s former dead friends, he’s too weak?
He really didn't expect the girl in the yellow skirt to say that.
However, the words of the girl in the yellow skirt also told Lin Tianming an important piece of information: there seemed to be awakened people among her former friends.
However, even the awakened ones could not resist the strange black fog released by the girl in the yellow skirt.
Thinking of this, in order to avoid their subsequent conversation from attracting unnecessary attention, Lin Tianming also pulled the girl in the yellow skirt out of the ice cream shop.
"Some of the friends you mentioned are also awakened?"
Who would have thought that the girl in the yellow skirt shook her head: "I know that the awakened ones... It's the name given to people with extraordinary powers in your era... Those of us who have similar powers as you are called... Let me think... It's too long ago... I can hardly remember..."
Seeing the girl in the yellow skirt say this, Lin Tianming also waited patiently on the side.
He also wanted to learn some secrets of ancient times from her.
Soon, the girl in the yellow skirt remembered.
"It seems...it seems they are called extraordinary people! Yes...that's right, people with extraordinary powers are called extraordinary people, but if they want to obtain extraordinary powers, they are much more dangerous than you!"
"More dangerous than us?"
"Well... a long, long time ago, if you wanted to become a superhuman, you had to actively come into contact with those monsters with filthy auras, or even become a believer of a strange god and become a monster in the eyes of ordinary people. Only then would you have a chance to gain superhuman powers. The risk was extremely high. Once you failed, you would... you would..."
Lin Tianming's curiosity was aroused, so naturally he didn't want her to stop here.
"What?"
Under Lin Tianming's questioning, the girl in the yellow skirt finally told the truth: "They will...will...become a monster twisted by strange and filthy energy...This is still considered a minor case. In serious cases, they will not even be qualified to be a monster and do evil. They will directly die miserably in twisted fear..."
After hearing what the girl in the yellow skirt said about the price of becoming a transcendent, Lin Tianming couldn't help but take a breath.
In comparison, he lived in a relatively lucky era.
Now you just need to go through the awakening ceremony to become an awakened person with awakened superpowers.
It seemed like she had opened up a conversation. Without Lin Tianming asking any questions, the girl in the yellow skirt told Lin Tianming some secrets from distant times.
"Because the cost of actively contacting the strange god to awaken the extraordinary is too high, people later developed a lot of strange ways to become extraordinary people in order to fight against the strange god, such as modifying one's own genes, or attaching prosthetic limbs to broken arms, or studying one's own soul power..."
Following the yellow skirt girl's words, Lin Tianming immediately thought of the three ascended divine kingdoms.
The one who modifies genes should be the genetic kingdom that pursues genetic ascension.
The Mechanical Kingdom, which is pursuing mechanical ascension, should be the one that provides prosthetic limbs for broken arms.
The one who studies the power of the soul should be the psychic kingdom that pursues psychic ascension.
The girl in the yellow skirt actually knew all this, which meant...
The era in which she existed was much older than the three great ascended kingdoms? The three great ascended kingdoms were unable to defeat the strange gods, so they had to seal themselves off ten thousand years ago, abandoning a small part of the land that they could not take care of, forming an abandoned land that was cut off from the inheritance of the three great ascended kingdoms.
This is the global world of awakening superpowers that Lin Tianming is traveling through now.
The girl in the yellow skirt is older than the three ascended kingdoms of God ten thousand years ago, so how old is she now? It is really hard to imagine the real age of the girl in the yellow skirt who is suspected to be a strange god, so Lin Tianming simply stopped thinking about it.
If we want to reveal the true origin of the girl in the yellow skirt, we may have to wait until the coming of the gods, or even the coming of the three great kingdoms...
Taking a deep breath, Lin Tianming glanced at the girl in the yellow skirt who was depressed as she recalled the past, and he stopped asking her about her past.
"Let's not talk about that anymore. Come on, eat your ice cream before it melts! If you want more after you finish it, I'll take you to buy more!"
With Lin Tianming's attention diverted, the girl in the yellow skirt started eating the ice cream in her hand again.
Staring at the pretty face of the girl in the yellow skirt, whose emotions remained stable after eating ice cream, Lin Tianming suddenly had an idea when he remembered that she didn't have a name yet.
"Have you never had a name? Or is it too long ago that I can't remember it?"
"I don't have a name... a long time ago... a friend did give me a nickname, because I like to wear yellow clothes, so they called me Yellow Clothes..."
The girl in the yellow skirt shook her little head. She had never had a name since she could remember.
Seeing that the girl in the yellow skirt really had no name, Lin Tianming decided to put his creative idea into practice.
"In order to make it easier to address you in the future, do you mind if I give you a formal name?"
"No... I don't mind..."
After getting the permission from the girl in the yellow skirt, Lin Tianming immediately gave her a name he liked.
"You like to wear yellow dresses, so from now on you can use Huang as your last name and Yiyi as your first name. Your full name is Huang Yiyi, how about that?"
In order to make it easier for the girl in the yellow skirt to understand her name, Lin Tianming typed the three words "Huang Yiyi" on his mobile phone to show her her own name.
"Huang...Yi...Yi..."
In fact, the girl in the yellow skirt did not recognize the words written by Lin Tianming, but as for her first name, she still stared at the three words on the mobile phone screen carefully, hoping that they would be firmly imprinted in her mind.
After carefully memorizing her first name, Huang Yiyi raised her head and looked at Lin Tianming.
"I... barely remembered it, but I... I don't know your name yet..."
"Lin Tianming! Huang Yiyi, we are friends from now on!"
