Chapter 14 Red Lotus Walker



A "disaster" level alien species generally refers to one whose mere existence has the potential to cause a disaster.

Some alien species may not be strong because of their own bodies, but may just have tricky abilities. For example, the diary once recorded an alien species that could paralyze the network equipment of half a city in a short period of time, but its body was very weak. Hunting that alien species was very simple, but it was still marked as a "disaster" level.

Any alien species that can cause large-scale loss of life and property can be classified as "disaster" level.

Even among the "disaster" level alien species, the one on Ding Yan can be considered tricky.

The reason for the birth of the "disaster" level alien species "Red Lotus" is unknown, and its ability is unknown. The only thing that can be confirmed is that the authorities spent a lot of effort to encircle and suppress this alien species, and that part of the remains of this alien species is sealed in Ding Yan's body.

Even Bai Ling could not see the source of "Red Lotus". After all, when he used his abilities in the original world, he usually watched TV and searched websites. It was difficult for Bai Ling to find such highly confidential information as "Red Lotus".

Bai Ling could understand this. According to his current experience, if he wanted to activate his ability, he had to have a specific "carrier". After using his ability, he could see the future of this "carrier" ten seconds later. In this way, the situation of activating his ability in the original world was probably similar, except that his "carrier" was probably a TV or a mobile phone, and he used the news to search for information and clues.

However, one thing is very clear, that is the power of "Red Lotus". Even a few years later, Ding Yan has not fully discovered it.

"'Red Lotus' is a very powerful alien species," Bai Ling said as he sat on a chair, peeling an apple fiercely. "To it, flames are subordinates. All burning phenomena are merely past tense or even present tense in its eyes. In other words, it can perfectly control the burning of objects."

Ding Yan, lying in the hospital, was covered in gauze, but even so, he still cheered up and listened to Bai Ling's words.

They are now in a hospital. Ding Yan, lying on the bed, is a patient, and Bai Ling is a "family member" who came to visit.

Lin Ju stood beside Bai Ling, her expressionless face covered with a layer of iron dust. She silently looked at Ding Yan, who was wrapped like a mummy, with a flickering look in her eyes.

It rained heavily in the morning, and Ding Yan was struck by lightning in the rain. However, the lightning that struck him was actually part of the remains of the "Red Lotus", and at the moment, the remains of the "Red Lotus" were sealed in Ding Yan's body.

"That's roughly the situation," Bai Ling said with a smile, "which means that starting from this morning, you are no longer a normal person. I believe you can understand this."

Upon hearing this, Ding Yan, who was lying on the hospital bed, subconsciously gave a bitter smile.

Yes, he really understood this point...

After being struck by lightning, he thought he was going to die, but he didn't expect that not long after he was thrown into the artificial lake, the burning on his body slowly subsided. By the time he was sent to the hospital, his burns had turned from severe to mild.

This kind of resilience cannot be classified as human level no matter how you look at it...

After taking a look at the scabbed wounds on his body, Ding Yan was silent for a moment, then looked up at Bai Ling.

"Who... are you?" Ding Yan said in a hoarse voice, "I feel like you know a lot of things, and you reminded me before..."

Reminds me that I will probably go through this disaster.

He stopped talking halfway through.

Before, Ding Yan had heard the woman next to Bai Ling seem to call him "prophet", and then combined with his own experience, he had a vague guess.

However, this speculation was so shocking that he couldn't help but swallow the rest of his words after he finished speaking.

Looking at Ding Yan, the smile on Bai Ling's face gradually disappeared.

He pulled his scarf and said in a steady voice: "It seems that I haven't introduced myself accurately and thoroughly before. In that case, please allow me to introduce myself."

"As I told you before, my name is Bai Ling," he looked at Ding Yan, "Of course, you can also call me - 'The Prophet'."

prophet?

Ding Yan frowned slightly when he heard the name.

Not only have I never heard of it, but I also feel that this name is somewhat strange...

As if seeing Ding Yan's doubts, Bai Ling smiled and said, "You seem to have your own opinion on this."

Just at this time he had finished peeling the apple, so he handed it to Ding Yan.

Ding Yan glanced at the apple. Even he could tell that Bai Ling's action of peeling the apple was strange. He barely even looked at his hands, as if he knew what to do next.

It’s not so much about having skilled techniques, but more about knowing exactly where to start the cut.

It's very strange, Ding Yan thought to himself as he reluctantly took the apple.

"I can probably understand your thoughts, but I don't care," Bai Ling leaned back in his chair. "Whether you doubt me, admire me, like me or hate me, all of these are meaningless to me. In the final analysis, I am just a 'person' who can see the future."

The fruit knife in his hand waved lightly in the air, drawing a silver arc. Bai Ling continued, "Perhaps the only difference between me and you is my insensitivity to 'time'. What you think may have just happened is a rule that has long been recorded for me. The mysteries that others pray for are just boxes that have been opened long ago for me. Other than that, I am just an ordinary person who can cry, laugh, have headaches and worries."

After hearing these words, Ding Yan fell silent.

After a long while, he said, "Isn't that the same as 'God'?"

Although it sounds so simple, manipulating time, foreseeing the future, seeing and witnessing everything with your own eyes, and including the traces of time in your brain, is this the realm of "God" after all? So humble, but in the final analysis, it still grasps a power far beyond what humans can understand...

Is this guy an immortal? "God?" Bai Ling stroked his chin. "I know some alien species seem to call themselves gods, but they are just false gods. There is no omnipotent guy in this world. Even the 'Ten Thousand Armies' is just the origin... Oh, the 'Ten Thousand Armies' is an alien species that will appear in the future. It seems that it can materialize from imagination, but it probably hasn't been born yet?"

Bai Ling casually threw the precious information to Ding Yan, as if he had no idea what impact speaking out the news would have, as if he was really thinking about whether there were any creatures that could be called "Gods".

Listening to Bai Ling's words, Ding Yan couldn't help but fall into silence.

After a long while, he said, "Then, there is something I want to ask you."

"What do you need from me?"

Ding Yan came straight to the point and his words even seemed a little incoherent.

But he felt that Bering could understand what he was saying.

Sure enough, facing the questions raised by Ding Yan, a smile appeared on Bai Ling's pale face.

"I need your strength," he said, "not to be fueled by madness, but by reason, to hold high the raging fire as a torch of light, to burn the vines and thorns, to make way for me."

As he spoke, he extended his hand to Ding Yan: "'Red Lotus Walker', I need your help to save this undercurrent-filled world on the verge of collapse!"
