Chapter 126 The Truth of the Past
Almost four days, so during these four days, they could easily transfer me from Hanwan City to Xinyan City.
This place is very likely the church in the mountain.
It seems that I need to find more opportunities to explore it later.
However, after walking for a while, I felt a little tired.
Maybe I lost too much blood before, which is why I am still a little weak.
I stopped and found a bench to sit on.
"Are you tired?" An Xiaowei asked when she saw this.
"Well, I can't walk anymore."
An Xiaowei didn't show any impatience or other emotions, she just suggested: "Then take a rest. Your body hasn't fully recovered yet, you need more rest."
Her tone was like when we were friends in the past, but also a bit like an elder telling a younger generation to take care of their health.
But I know that the entire Apocalypse Sect is waiting for me to recover quickly so that they can perform their divine descent ceremony.
However, since they want me to recover well, I must cooperate with them, otherwise how can I find a way to slip away?
"You and my mom are... friends, right?"
I suddenly asked An Xiaowei.
She was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
"Yes, in the past at the Bureau, we all worked in the laboratory."
"Can you tell me the story of my parents?"
Although An Xiaowei and I are on opposite sides now, we are still in a delicate peace mode. Since I have nothing to do, I didn't have too many concerns and asked directly.
An Xiaowei didn't mention my parents directly, but mentioned the red threads at the end of the world.
"You know what 'red velvet' is, right?"
I nodded. "The abnormal unit was found in that basin."
"Yes, that's right. Your mother and I were both involved in the research on 'Red Velvet'. At first, we thought it was just an ordinary anomalous unit. We just needed to study it thoroughly and then properly contain it."
At this point, she looked at me and said, "But you know the result later."
"As a result, 'Red Velvet' failed to be contained," I replied.
I looked through the materials regarding these contents when I first arrived at the Investigation Bureau.
"Although containment failed, we were able to prevent its spread at first. However, later on, more and more anomalous units appeared, along with unusual scents that caused hallucinations and various types of mental pollution."
As she spoke, a trace of pain appeared on An Xiaowei's face.
"Your mother and I were infected around that time. In order to quickly develop an inhibitor that could suppress the infection, your mother, despite being pregnant, traveled to many places and collected samples from many abnormal units. During this process, she seemed to have encountered an abnormal event."
"Encountered an unusual incident? Isn't this a very common thing in the investigation bureau?" I asked puzzledly.
"It's different. What your mother came into contact with was the source of pollution itself—God."
Hearing this, I widened my eyes slightly and looked at her in disbelief.
Although I now know that the source of those various strange phenomena and pollution is the evil god, it is still shocking to hear it again.
"I once advised her not to actively contact the pollution source, but she completely ignored me. During this process, we had some arguments."
"I don't know exactly what your mother saw, but after returning to the Bureau, she became a little strange. However, she also found some research directions. Thanks to this, it wasn't long before she developed the first generation of inhibitors against 'Red Velvet'."
"Later, she gave birth to a child who was in a vegetative state."
After hearing what An Xiaowei said, the guess that had been hidden in my heart was confirmed. I had seen many shadows of the past in my dreams before, and since then I have guessed that something was wrong with the state I was in when I was born.
"That vegetative baby is me, right? But why is he a vegetative baby? How did I return to normal?"
An Xiaowei lowered her head and thought for a while, then said slowly: "To be honest, I don't know, but I have some guesses."
"What conjecture?"
"Your mother came into contact with the True God, and the True God exerted influence on your mother for the purpose of harming the child in her belly, that is, you."
"Me?" I frowned.
At this point, An Xinwei laughed strangely, then stared at me and said, "You don't think that only the Lord wants you to be a vessel, do you?"
Hearing this, my heart skipped a beat.
At the same time, I was so sad that I even wanted to laugh.
Am I some kind of divine vessel? Why does everyone want to descend upon me?
"Of course, your mother and I are good friends. She's trying to find a way to suppress the infection for all the infected teammates, and I have to do something for her."
An Xiaowei's expression gradually grew more enthusiastic. "So I left the Bureau and returned to the basin to investigate. Then I discovered that there was an area in the basin completely free of red velvet infection. All the plants and animals there were thriving."
"Then, I found the Lord's statue in the swamp in that area. The Lord rescued me from the swamp! Healed my infection! And gave me supreme power!"
When An Xiaowei said this, veins on her forehead bulged faintly, as if she was suppressing strong hatred and anger: "Guess what happened?"
Seeing her expression, I felt a little uneasy, but I still asked, "What's going on?"
"I secretly returned to the Investigation Bureau with the statue and my research results, hoping to help her cure you, a vegetative state, but she refused! She righteously accused me of being bewitched by an evil spirit and stole the Lord's statue, sealing it away at the Investigation Bureau!"
At this point, An Xiaowei suddenly smiled sinisterly and stared at me:
"However, I later secretly went to the hospital to see you and found a small doll hidden next to your incubator. I don't know who put it there, but the doll looked like God's image... Hehehe... You see, God actually chose you a long time ago..."
Hearing this, I didn't care about being afraid anymore, and was only filled with horror.
All the inexplicable scenes in the dream before gradually pieced together into a complete story at this moment.
Because of the pollution, my mother went to investigate the source of the pollution and was affected by one of the evil gods, causing me to be born in a vegetative state.
However, An Xiaowei chose a different direction of investigation and subsequently discovered the evil god of the Apocalypse Sect.
According to my previous experience and speculation, the pollution between evil gods is mutually restrained and conflicting.
In my dream before, I once saw someone holding a doll and hiding it beside my bed. Maybe it was a member of the Apocalypse Sect, but even An Xiaowei didn’t know about it.
The pollution in the doll suppressed the original pollution in my body, so I gradually came back to life from my vegetative state...
This is quite scary...
Because this means that before I was even born, I was already being targeted by more than one evil god...
If I think about it carefully, the first time I was infected at the farmers' market may not have been an accident at all, but rather a premeditated event.
I just don't know which evil god arranged this...
And... the Morse code that appeared inexplicably... who was the origin of the Morse code?
Why am I the only one who can hear it? Why am I the only one who has to teach myself Morse code before the apocalypse?
Is he really the unlucky guy chosen by God?
To this day, is the path I'm walking my own choice, or was it predetermined by others?
Thinking of this, I felt a chill down my spine.
Moreover, a new question came into my mind.
Why am I being targeted by so many evil gods?
Moreover, these evil gods don’t want to be good gods, but choose a human as a vessel to descend. It can’t be just for fun, right?
It can’t be that “paradise” is full of people.
After thinking for a moment, a somewhat terrifying guess formed in my mind.
These evil gods are afraid of something, or have encountered some difficulties, so they need to leave where they live and choose the difficult method of divine descent.
So the question is... Is there anything that even the evil god is afraid of?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
It seems that there may be a big unknown secret behind all this.
After coming to these conclusions, I couldn't help but worry.
It's like you finally finished the game, only to find that you were just leaving the novice village.
What path should we take in the future?
While I was thinking, An Xiaowei noticed that something was wrong with me and asked me with a half-smile, "Ji Ling, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, I'm going back now."
After saying that, I ignored An Xiaowei and went back to my room.
The moment I turned around, a strange smile appeared on An Xiaowei's face.
…
The moment I closed the door, I breathed a sigh of relief.
Now I seem safe, but in fact I am isolated and helpless. I have to find a way to regain some initiative.
But having said that, it is not easy to take back the initiative. My life has been arranged clearly since I was born, not to mention that I am now imprisoned and can do nothing.
There was too much information in the conversation I just had with An Xiaowei. The more I understand, the more unknown questions there are.
My mind was in a mess and I had no idea what to do for a moment.
But then I thought of another possibility: what if she wasn't telling the whole truth? Or maybe she was telling the truth but hadn't told me the most crucial information.
An Xiaowei has always been good at telling montage-style lies. If she told me all this just to disturb my mind, then I would definitely not do as she wishes.
Thinking of this, I calmed down a little.
Since I can't figure out those overly profound questions, I'll just start by solving the current dilemma, such as escaping from here.
I organized my thoughts and began to recall the layout of the church. I had only visited a part of it, but I paid attention to it.
I turned on the second vision to feel the surrounding situation. There were no illusory fluctuations, which meant that this was most likely the real world. Fortunately, it was much easier since it was the real world.
I may need another two or three days to continue exploring the church's structure, and during this time I cannot recover too quickly.
But the wound is gradually healing. I can't hide it even if I want to. It will probably be completely healed within a week. By then, I can only use physical weakness as an excuse. I guess I can delay it for a few more days.
But it's still not enough. Besides, the longer you stay here, the more dangerous it might become.
If you want to increase your chips, there are currently only three feasible options.
First, get familiar with the place.
Second, recover as quickly as possible, but the faster I recover, the shorter my time will be.
Third, enhance your own strength, but other skills are not easy to practice secretly here.
However, I do have a method to practice my mental power secretly. When I was meditating on the Cloud Thunder Pattern before, I found that the Cloud Thunder Pattern itself did not have mental power. The reason why meditating on the Cloud Thunder Pattern can help me suppress pollution is because the Cloud Thunder Pattern can mobilize my own mental power.
Then why don’t I practice secretly using this method?
Moreover, during the battle with that replica, my mental strength was significantly improved in actual combat.
No matter what, in this limited time, the stronger we can be, the better.
So, during these few days, I always found various excuses to explore the layout of the entire church. During the rest time, I meditated on the cloud and thunder patterns to secretly train my mental strength.
Besides, the people here didn't have much defense against me at all, or they weren't worried at all that I could escape.
So it only took me two days to get a pretty good understanding of the layout here.
At the same time, I am also sure that this place is indeed inside the mountain.
During these two days of exploration, I finally understood why they were not worried at all that I would run away.
Because this church has no exit at all.
But every time I passed by the baptismal room on the top floor of the church, I could clearly feel the circulation of air, even if it was very slight, but my body senses were more sensitive than those of ordinary people, so I could feel it.
That is to say, although there is no exit from the church, there should be an exit inside the mountain, and it is near the baptistery.
But when I passed by the baptismal room, I could clearly feel a strong sense of oppression.
No wonder they weren't afraid of me escaping, it turned out they had made sufficient preparations.
In just a few days, my injuries have almost healed.
Now that my injuries have healed, I should try to rush out of the baptismal room.
If I don't hurry up, I'm probably going to become Spider-Man No. 2.
So one day, I hid from the people in the church and quietly approached the baptismal room.
When I was less than three meters away from the baptismal room, the oppressive force made me feel a little breathless, as if a big hand was grabbing me.
Fortunately, my physical fitness has evolved many times and has become very strong.
So despite the great pressure, I was still able to hold on.
But I am also a little curious about how the Apocalypse Sect has set up such strong suppression here.
It seems that Tianqi is not entirely a foolish fanatic.
Just as I reached the door under pressure, a somewhat teasing voice came from behind me.
