Chapter 159 What is Superpower
However, people are not very interested in how powerful the Special Management Bureau is for the time being.
Their attention was all captured by the word "superpower".
Bai You couldn't believe it: "There are superpowers in this world?"
Is this still a scientific world?
Wei Gu nodded affirmatively: "There are superpowers in this world, and many other things. It's just that these things are hidden and ordinary people can't access them at all."
Zhu Xiangming asked curiously, "Do you have any special abilities?"
Wei Gu shook his head regretfully: "I don't have any, and almost no one has any now."
Qiu Yuge frowned: "What do you mean?"
Wei Gu explained, "According to records, thousands of years ago, the vast majority of people in this world possessed their own abilities. The mythological stories recorded in books today aren't all myths; the vast majority are true."
Everyone opened their eyes wide in shock.
"But since some time ago, the number of people with the ability has suddenly decreased, and then it has become fewer and fewer."
"Until now, people with special abilities have almost completely disappeared from the human population."
"Huh?" Zhu Xiangming was puzzled. "How do you know the psychics are gone? Maybe they're just hiding."
Wei Gu shook his head: "People with special abilities are different from ordinary people."
He pointed to his head. "They have other things on their minds."
"Every newborn will undergo an examination when they are born. Do you know what they will examine?"
Yin Hongxue opened her eyes wide: "Isn't this to check if there are any special abilities?"
Wei Gu nodded: "Ability inspection is indeed one of the items."
"This examination has been going on for hundreds of years. Although the doctors who perform these tests now don't know what they are testing for, the results of each test are synchronized with the Special Management Bureau. We can naturally know whether there are still people with special abilities now."
"According to the results of the Special Management Bureau, as of the date this inspection was conducted, the number of inspection results that met the requirements is zero."
Cang Zizhen took a deep breath.
Qiu Yuge quickly took out the jade pendant: "Then what's going on? What about what you just said about us having superpowers?"
Wei Gu glanced at the jade pendant, then at Lu Yao, and instead of answering Qiu Yuge's question, he talked about something else.
"What do you think is the difference between people with special abilities and ordinary people?"
Everyone: ...
How do they feel about this? They don't know anything!
Wei Gu smiled and continued, "People with special abilities have other things in their minds."
"We call it the pronucleus."
"People who are capable of becoming superpowers have a pronucleus in their brains from birth. This pronucleus helps them communicate with the outside world and thus awaken their superpowers."
Cang Zizhen asked: "So people nowadays don't have prokaryotes in their brains? Why? Did they disappear suddenly?"
Wei Gu looked at Cang Zizhen with appreciation. The other party's question hit the key point.
"The pronucleus didn't disappear suddenly; it disappeared gradually."
"As for why it disappeared," Wei Gu paused for a moment, "people speculate that it is because we have ushered in the Dharma Ending Age."
The Dharma Ending Age?
"Originally, this world was filled with a vast amount of primordial energy. So much so that when a newborn was conceived, they could gradually condense their pronuclei within the mother's womb, immersed in countless primordial energy. But as time passed, the primordial energy became less and less. From a certain point on, the remaining primordial energy in the world was no longer enough for a newborn to condense its pronucleus within the mother's womb. And after people were born, with the barrier of the universe, condensing their pronuclei became almost impossible."
"So, the number of people with special abilities is decreasing little by little."
"By now, people with superpowers have almost become a legendary thing."
Everyone looked at Lu Yao immediately.
Wei Gu looked over and saw that Lu Yao seemed a little bored during his narration. He was now leaning against the railing, playing with his mobile phone, looking very comfortable.
Feeling everyone's gaze, he raised his head and looked at Wei Gu.
Seeing the meaning in the other person's eyes, Wei Gu continued: "But, it's only almost."
"So there are still people with special abilities in this world, but their number is relatively small."
"In our country, the Yu people are one of the schools that have preserved the inheritance of supernatural powers through secret methods."
Although they had expected this, everyone was still shocked when they heard these words from Wei Gu.
With my mouth wide open, I felt like my three perspectives had collapsed.
Who can tell them that they have been learning to believe in science for seventeen or eighteen years, but today it suddenly turned into a fantasy movie?
Bai You said in a daze: "Then why did you say that we all gained superpowers?"
Upon hearing this, Wei Gu looked at Lu Yao with a complicated expression, and then said: "Didn't you receive the jade pendant? This jade pendant should play the same role as the prokaryotic nucleus."
"Without the pronucleus, humans cannot use supernatural powers. The current amount of proto-energy is no longer sufficient for humans to condense the pronucleus on their own. Therefore, things like the jade pendants in your hands have emerged."
"Its function is to replace the pronucleus, allowing humans to mobilize their energy and use the pronucleus again."
"Isn't that right?"
Following Wei Gu's words, everyone looked down at the jade pendants in their hands. After Wei Gu finished speaking, they looked at Lu Yao again.
Lu Yao put away his phone and nodded under everyone's gaze: "Yes."
"Wow." Everyone held the jade pendant with a dazed look on their faces.
No, isn't this reward a bit too great?
Yin Hongxue held the jade pendant tightly, and the warm and hard texture emerged in the palm of her hand.
I thought it would hurt because of the hard object, but surprisingly I didn't feel any discomfort.
Just like Lu Yao.
He pursed his lips and looked at Lu Yao: "Why did you give us this jade pendant?"
Anything that can enable people to gain supernatural powers in the Dharma-Ending Age must have a value far beyond imagination.
Lu Yao smiled again, a smile that was very well-behaved, very harmless, and full of sincerity: "It's difficult to keep a secret for others, but it's very easy to keep a secret for yourself."
"Now you are also part of the secret."
"It's no big deal, right?"
"Your life will not change at all. Just practice and work as before."
ah?
Everyone looked at each other.
What's the meaning?
"I understand!" Wei Gu figured something out: "So you think everyone has been too passive and lazy lately, and you want them to work harder, so you gave them the jade pendants?"
ah?
Everyone looked at Wei Gu.
Where did this magical idea come from?
How could I give them such an important thing just because they are not in good condition recently...
Wait a minute, Lu Yao didn’t refute it!
"Really?" Qiu Yuge looked at Lu Yao in disbelief.
Lu Yao nodded: "I hope you can relax a little."
Yin Hongxue felt a pang of conscience.
Oh my God, Lu Yao actually gave them such an important jade pendant just because they were not in good condition recently.
He even specifically asked Wei Gu to explain it to them.
Lu Yao went through so much trouble just so that they could work well?
He actually wants to develop their group career so much!
Isn’t that too much love?
Is this reasonable?
He thought their group was over.
Finally, this short conversation in the early morning ended with everyone in a daze.
But no matter how dazed they were, everyone still carefully put away the jade pendant.
They put their hands in their pockets and held the jade pendant in their palms, feeling that everything was just a dream, but the touch of their palms reminded them that it was not a dream.
"Lu Yao!"
As soon as everyone entered the room, they saw Xin Yi running out of the room in a hurry.
"I just woke up now, did you do something?"
!
Everyone looked at Lu Yao instantly.
No wonder Xin Yi didn’t come out yet, it turns out she just didn’t wake up?
Did Lu Yao let Xin Yi fall asleep specifically for this introduction this morning?
How did he do it?
Isn’t this inappropriate for Xin Yi?
Besides, their conversation should be kept secret, right? Lu Yao did it so obviously, wouldn't he be discovered?
Facing the question from Xin Yi who rushed over and stood in front of him, Lu Yao did not dodge and said: "Yes."
!
He actually admitted it directly?
Xin Yi was also stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted, and everyone else also reacted.
If you ask this question, Lu Yao will definitely admit it.
Xin Yi didn't ask any more questions. She took a step back and regained her composure.
"I will report this matter."
Hearing this, Lu Yao didn't react much, but the others became anxious.
Bai You blurted out a long string of words in an instant: "What do you want to report? You just woke up a little late, that's normal, what's there to report? Besides, we're all in the dormitory, we haven't gone anywhere, and no one else is here. No one's doing anything, so there's nothing to report."
"Yes, yes." Cang Zizhen agreed repeatedly: "You work so hard every day, it would be good for you to get some more sleep."
Zhu Xiangming also wanted to speak, but Xin Yi raised her hand to interrupt everyone.
She scanned everyone's faces and quickly assessed the current situation. "I don't know what you discussed while I was asleep, and I won't ask. It's not my place to know, and you don't have to tell me. I'll just record everything I see and report it. If there's truly no problem, then nothing will happen."
Finally, Xin Yi stared at Lu Yao, trying to see something on his face.
But she failed, there was nothing on Lu Yao's face.
Her words did not cause any ripples on Lu Yao's face.
He just looked back and raised his eyebrows slightly, as if saying two words: Welcome.
Seeing this, Xin Yi put away all her emotions, took a step back, and put on a smile.
"Everyone, hurry up and pack up now. It's getting late. We still have to go to Xijiang, Bai You and Qiu Yuge's hometown, to prepare for tomorrow's filming."
"We're leaving at ten, and it's now nine twenty-eight. You still have half an hour."
Xin Yi's sudden work state caught everyone off guard, but before they could be shocked, the sound of a door opening and closing was heard outside.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound.
After a sound of footsteps, Li Qiang walked into the gate of the villa.
"Are you all up?" Li Qiang looked at the people standing neatly in the hall with relief. "That's good. Pack your luggage and we'll go to the company first. After dinner, we'll go to the airport."
Everyone looked at Xin Yi again.
I could hear someone coming from such a long distance away. Xin Yi is really a hidden talent.
Xin Yi smiled naturally.
