Chapter 13 Purification
◎She is the Purifier◎
When Gu Nian woke up, he felt as if his whole body had been run over by a car. He ached all over and felt unwell.
When I opened my eyes, I found a group of people surrounding me.
Seeing Gu Nian wake up, Ke Lele showed a surprised expression and immediately came forward to ask: "How do you feel now? Are you feeling unwell?"
Gu Nian: “…” She now felt uncomfortable all over.
But this was not a big problem. Gu Nian shook his head to indicate that he was fine, propped himself up and sat up, then found that they were now out of the building and in the open space in front of the apartment building.
Gu Nian frowned. She remembered that the crazy woman had strangled her neck. Her consciousness began to become blurred, and she didn't remember what happened afterwards.
She couldn't help but ask: "What's the situation now, where is that woman?"
Xie Han's voice came from the side: "She is dead."
The boy was a man of few words, and he fell silent again after answering the question.
Ke Lele couldn't wait to pick up the conversation, his face beaming with joy as he began to speak. "As soon as you left, I felt something was wrong, so I quickly went upstairs to find Xie Han. You know, he's quite clever. In fact, he was the one who persuaded those people who came down to help us."
"We all immediately began searching every floor and finally found you on the 15th floor. However, you were already unconscious, and there was a woman's body next to you. Later, we found that we could leave the building, so we quickly brought you out. Xie Han said that the woman's origins were unknown and she might have been the source of some contamination, so we didn't bring her body down and left it in the building."
Ke Lele kept sighing that this time it was all thanks to Gu Nian, and praised Xie Han for being so smart. The people around him also followed suit and praised him, surrounding the two of them. Everyone was very happy.
This time I really escaped death and saved my life.
As everyone gathered around and talked, there was a sudden noise from the outside, followed by people's surprised voices: "The military, the military is here!"
The crowd rushed over.
Ke Lele pushed Xie Han without moving. Taking advantage of the chaos, he quietly came to Gu Nian and stuffed something into her hand, saying mysteriously, "Xie Han said this might be a good thing."
Gu Nian glanced at Xie Han in surprise, then lowered his head to look at the thing in his hand and found it was a folded piece of paper. When he opened it, he saw a line of red words written crookedly at the top - rules of the game of cangyou.
The font looks like it was written by a child, and complex characters are replaced with pinyin. The game rules below are the same, but it does not affect reading.
Hide and seek game rules:
First, all children in Building 6 of the Garden Community can participate.
Second, all children are not allowed to leave the building. Mom said there are bad people outside who are trying to deceive children!
Third, the kids playing tag can find out how many people are hiding on each floor.
Fourth, when the kid who is catching people comes over, the hiding kid can get a reminder.
Fifth, children should remember to go home during mealtimes and the game will automatically stop.
Finally, I wish you all a happy game!
After reading all the information on the paper, Gu Nian's expression was a little complicated. This piece of game rules paper should have been written by the crazy woman's child.
Judging from the rules of the game, it seems that this child is very smart and sensible. He knows not to leave the building and knows to go home at dinner time so as not to worry the adults. However, judging from the crazy woman's final words, this child has disappeared, and the final outcome may not be good.
She nodded to Xie Han and put the rule paper away.
What they experienced during this period just corresponded to some of the game rules on the rule paper. If these rules are really useful, they might come in handy in the future.
Gu Nian had just put it away when he saw a group of people running towards him. Leading the group was a young man with light blue hair and a burly man in black. Behind them were a group of soldiers in military uniforms, fully armed. Not only were they carrying guns, but some were even carrying rocket launchers!
Ke Lele opened his mouth wide: "No way, is it such a big deal?"
Soon, a group of people came to the three of them.
The blue-haired young man's eyes swept over the three people, finally stopping at Gu Nian. He asked excitedly, "Are you Gu Nian? Did you kill the pollution core?"
Anyone who can kill the pollution core in the early stages of evolution may be an S-level purifier!
Gu Nian glanced at Xie Han and raised her eyebrows slightly. The other party's statement was surprisingly similar to Xie Han's. She said, "If you are talking about the woman on the fifteenth floor, then it should be."
Although she didn't remember what happened next, she could sense the Black Line's condition. Perhaps it was it that saved her at the crucial moment. Perhaps it had swallowed too much black mist, but the Black Line had fallen into hibernation after she woke up.
The blue-haired young man said excitedly, "That's it! You must be an S-class Purifier. Even if not, you must be an A-class at least. That's great!"
Although the contamination core this time was only Class D, not as high as the previous one, more people survived this time. Over three hundred people were trapped in the core contaminated area for several hours, and in the end, only eighteen people died. This is probably the lowest death rate since the pollution outbreak.
There is no other explanation except that a high-level purifier appeared here.
Gu Nian asked in confusion, "Purifier?"
Xie Han and Ke Lele also looked over at the same time.
The blue-haired young man temporarily suppressed his excitement and explained to them: "I heard that the core of the pollution this time was mainly solved by the cooperation of the three of you, so it's okay to tell you."
"About a year ago, mutations suddenly broke out across the globe. We call this pollution. Among those affected, some became deformed, becoming the monsters you killed earlier. A small number also developed special abilities in the fight against the pollution."
"The types of superpowers vary from person to person, and are mainly divided into three categories: physical fitness, brain evolution, and the last type, which is a special superpower with some special ability. The Purifier is one of these special superpowers, and it is also the only superpower that can eliminate pollution."
The blue-haired young man smiled and said, "That's also the origin of the name Purifier."
Gu Nian nodded thoughtfully, but then she felt something was amiss. The black thread had swallowed the black fog. Could that be considered eliminating the pollution? It felt a little off.
In order to give Gu Nian a more intuitive understanding of what a Purifier is, the blue-haired young man pulled the burly man in black over to him and said with some pride, "I am a Purifier. Although I am only C-rank, I can barely project my mental power."
He stretched out his hand towards the burly man in black, and then a speck of light appeared at the tip of his finger. The reason why he used the word "spike" was because the light was about the size of a grain of rice, which was really small.
The light spot floated closer to the burly man in black, and then everyone saw an even smaller black spot that was hard to spot without careful observation floating out from the burly man in black's body, and then was wrapped by the white light spot, and finally the black and white disappeared together.
The blue-haired young man said, "You see, this is purification. Although mutants have evolved superpowers, they will still be affected by mental pollution when they are in the contaminated area. Once the critical value is exceeded, they will become alienated, so they need the help of purifiers to purify. Therefore, the role of purifiers is very important."
The burly man in black, who always disliked his arrogance, nodded seriously at this moment: "Indeed. Purifiers are also called spiritual healers and are very important."
Gu Nian silently glanced at the motionless black ring on her finger, feeling strangely guilty. Something seemed different. The white dots purified the black dots, like police arresting a suspect, while her black line devoured the black mist, making it seem more like black preying on black.
But even if she is not a purifier, it doesn’t matter. Isn’t it said that every special ability is different? Maybe her ability is to devour the black fog, which should be quite normal.
That should be normal, right?
Gu Nian's expression was even more solemn than when she was trapped in the building. Glancing at the fully armed army not far away, she took out her cell phone from her pocket and sent a text message.
Just as Gu Nian was lost in thought, Xie Han spoke up. He looked at Ke Lele and said, "Didn't you say that you saw a masked person in your dream who helped you and then awakened your superpowers? This masked person is Gu Nian, and she is the Purifier."
Ke Lele didn't expect the topic to bring up himself. He was still shocked that the world had already changed drastically and it was not uncommon for him to be able to produce a big potato out of thin air.
Hearing Xie Han's words, he nodded quickly: "Yes, that's true. I was wondering why my waist and legs didn't hurt when I woke up this time." Before he finished speaking, he suddenly stopped, as if he had just realized what Xie Han said, and looked at Gu Nian with wide eyes: "The masked man is you!"
Gu Nian thought for a moment and then accepted it. She nodded solemnly, "Yes, I am the masked man and the Purifier."
Gu Nian accepted her new identity calmly, but she couldn't reveal her dark secrets for the time being. She said, "I may disappoint you, but I can't project my spiritual power externally. I'm not a high-level purifier. The fact that we were able to resolve the contaminated core you mentioned this time is also the result of everyone's hard work."
The blue-haired young man and the burly man in black were obviously disappointed, but they both quickly adjusted their expressions. It didn't matter even if it wasn't a high-level purifier. There were really too few purifiers nowadays.
The two of them said that every Purifier was precious. The blue-haired young man even took out a business card and handed it to Gu Nian: "On behalf of the official, I would like to invite you. I hope you can join us."
Gu Nian reached out to take it, and fell silent again when he saw the company name on the business card.
"S City Mental Rehabilitation Center..."
Great, so now she's switching from the psychiatric department of a tertiary hospital to a specialized psychiatric treatment center? Does that mean she has broader career prospects?
The blue-haired young man laughed awkwardly and joked, "Haha, most of us psychics have some mental problems. This name is quite fitting, isn't it?"
Gu Nian, Xie Han, Ke Lele, and the strong man in black: "..."
Thank you so much, we are in very good spirits, okay?
Ke Lele couldn't stand seeing people embarrassed, so he quickly changed the subject and looked at the blue-haired young man in confusion, "Why do you look so familiar to me? Have we met somewhere before?"
The blue-haired young man noticed someone recognized him and immediately cockily lifted his hair. He pretended to be reserved and said, "Maybe you've seen me on TV. I'm an idol. You know, idols are the kind that sing and dance on stage."
The burly man in black chuckled: "Is that the kind of idol who gets eliminated in the first round of a talent show?"
The blue-haired young man glared at him. "What's wrong with being eliminated in the first round? At least I made it to the auditions! If the country didn't need me, I would have debuted long ago and would be shining on the stage right now!"
Ke Lele didn't expect that his words would cause an internal quarrel among the people, and quickly said: "I know, I know, I've seen that talent show, your name is Xie Tianqi, right?"
Blue-haired young man: "...Thank you, but my name is Zhong Xingchi."
