Chapter 54
At the same time, in a cafe at Xingdu University.
Qiao You smiled and looked at the two people opposite him, but there was a terrifying frost in his green eyes: "You'd better tell him everything, otherwise..."
The terrifying threat in his voice was clear as day.
Nuoang and Yanmin looked at each other, and when they looked at the blond young man opposite them, vigilance and unwillingness appeared on their faces at the same time. After a moment of silence, they finally spoke.
Yan Min sighed softly and said, "Except for the king, every member of the royal family has two kinds of spiritual power. Noang's first spiritual power is [Directed Thought Transmission]. You have seen it. This morning, before he disappeared, he used this spiritual power to ask you out without telling Xiaoxing."
He and Nuoang knew very well that Qiao You came to the appointment because of the matter of Lanye Star... Moreover, they were now completely sure that this young man was not as gentle and harmless as the royal family's data said. He... He was simply a monster more twisted than the king...
But perhaps it is this kind of person who is suitable to end everything...
Yan Min stared at the handsome and imposing young man opposite her: "Noang's second mental power is [Pheromone Directed Control]. This mental power is very special and will have an extra strong attraction to the target. For example, Lin Qian, who died in that classroom, did not originally have that pheromone disease. He was injected with a few genes of Noang after the royal body was transformed, which triggered that disease and began to have so many pheromone smells that are fatal to humans... However, he is a failure, so the king allowed Leon to control him."
It is also because Lin Qian has his younger brother's genes in his body that Leon is so obsessed with having Lin Qian conquer Qiao You, as if this would really allow him to completely replace his younger brother's fate.
At this point, Yan Min looked away, and his voice revealed a sense of sadness: "My mental power was originally inherited from my purged family. Like the descendants of the original Jian family, I originally possessed only ordinary pheromone mental power. However, like Lin Qian, I was injected with Noang's genes, and my mental power mutated into the current [pheromone attraction]... In fact, although my mental power has mutated, I am also a failure."
The royal family adopted many orphans of purged families. Each of them has been tested by the royal family's secret monster machine. Children who failed the test, such as Su Lou, will be raised perfunctorily and isolated from all core secrets. The royal family will protect them for the sake of their own reputation, but will never allow them to become successful. When they become disloyal or feel hatred because they discover a corner of the truth about the family's demise, the royal family will create various accidents to get rid of them.
Children who pass the test will enter a more terrifying process...but he was lucky. When he was young, he was chosen and placed next to Qiao You, who was the most important person to the royal family. He was ordered to get close to Qiao You and collect information about Qiao You, and temporarily escaped that process.
However, more than a year ago, the king still...
Yan Min seemed to have thought of something horrible. He shuddered and took a deep breath before saying, "I am entering this university now to get close to you and collect your information."
To be precise, it was a test for Noang in advance to see how much effect his failed [pheromone attraction] could have on Qiao You.
Lan Yexing's mission is to help him get close to Qiao You, but Lan Yexing would rather endure the electric shock himself than let someone with ulterior motives like him get close to Qiao You.
He really loves him...
Thinking about who Lan Yexing really fell in love with, Yan Min's face showed a soft and unwilling expression...
Qiao You narrowed his eyes dangerously, his smile became colder and more arrogant, and his voice became deeper and more terrifying: "I am not interested in these. You have to know that my patience is limited."
He was sitting here patiently in order to get the missing piece of Lan Yexing's life puzzle.
If these two idiots who were still coveting Lan Yexing continued to talk about these boring things that had nothing to do with Lan Yexing, he wouldn't mind using his mental power to directly extract everything he wanted to know from their minds.
The omega was so frightened by the other person's appearance that his body trembled even more. He subconsciously stepped back with his back completely pressed against the back of the chair. Nuoang considerately blocked Qiao You's sight for him. He looked at the young man with a complicated expression and said, "Xiao Yan does love Xiao Xing, but, like me, he doesn't want Xiao Xing to think of us. So, Qiao You, don't bully him like this. Next, let me talk."
Nuoang stared at him and sighed, "My brother wanted to kill you to save me, and died because of it. In order to put an end to all this filth, I chose to cooperate with you. Fate really likes to play tricks on people like clowns."
Nuoang rubbed his brows and shook off those emotions from his mind. A bit of determination slowly emerged in his ominous red eyes: "Qiao You, I believe that with your intelligence and ruthlessness, you must have known where the misfortune of your fate lies. My current misfortune lies in my father's greed and madness. And our common misfortune comes from the spiritual power itself."
As he was talking, he didn't know what he was thinking about, and a look of fear slowly emerged on his face. He asked solemnly, "Qiao You, I wonder if you have ever thought about a few questions since you were a child, such as, what is the nature of these special abilities called mental powers, and where do they come from? Why can members of the royal family have two mental powers, and the king can have all mental powers except [precognition]? And mental powers are inherited through blood, so how did the first person in the world who had mental powers get them?"
Qiao You's expression was still cold and terrifying, but his hands under the table slowly clenched up: The question this idiot is asking now is the reason why he turned the basement of his home into a laboratory and kept personally [extracting] those psychics.
He has been trying to find answers to those questions.
Everyone in his family was sick and neurotic, and had a strong desire for revenge. Since he was a child, he firmly believed that his mother's revenge with the core of protecting him was not enough - he not only wanted to take revenge on each specific person who killed his family, he also wanted to take revenge on the more essential and core existence behind those people.
Therefore, he had made up his mind since he was a child to completely banish spiritual power from this world...
Now, in addition to achieving this ultimate goal, he also has to protect Lanye Star, which is at the center of the vortex.
In order to achieve these two goals, he must figure out what the essence of mental power is.
After [extracting] the complete memory of the system on Lan Yexing's right wrist and coming out of the king's basement full of clones, he almost found the answer, which is -
Noang seemed to be haunted by some extremely terrifying memories at this moment. He said the answer directly in panic: "Let me tell you, Qiao You, the spiritual power of our group of psychics actually comes from a monster. It is a strange red eye... Have you seen the mural in Library No. 1? The alpha girl in the painting is the first human in the world with spiritual power. It all started when she met that eye one day."
"The girl was a person with an extremely pure heart. In order to save her seriously ill mother, she ate the eye under the temptation of the eye. Since then, she has possessed all the strange abilities including [precognition]."
"With countless magical powers, she naturally succeeded in rescuing her mother. I said that she was a person with an extremely pure heart. At the same time, she was also very smart. She knew that if this power was exposed, it would not bring any benefits to mankind, but would bring endless disasters to mankind. So she did not reveal all this to anyone, nor did she get married or give birth to children. She lived an ordinary and trembling life all her life, and never used her mental power again in her life. She thought that as she died of old age, those cursed powers would disappear."
"However, because she had lived her life as an ordinary person and had not used any mental powers, including [precognition], she did not expect that her brother's son was greedy and ambitious. The young man learned from his grandmother the story of how his daughter brought her back to life from the brink of death. He speculated that there was a power beyond human cognition, so he dug up his aunt's grave and secretly dissected her body. He found the strange and fresh eye in her almost rotten body. The man's feeling told him that the eye was the source of his aunt's strange power..."
"In order to obtain that power, he tried to eat the eye. But the strange thing was that the eye recognized a woman's willingness to be swallowed whole by a woman, but not a man. No matter what the man did, he could not eat him. The man's desire for power had reached a point of madness, so he simply ate his aunt's body..."
"As he wished, the man obtained all the powers except for [precognition] through the remains of his aunt, and at the same time imprisoned the eye that did not recognize him - and for some reason, the eye was willing to be imprisoned by the man."
"As he gradually got used to and used those powers, the man gained more and more wealth. At the same time, he also discovered that the children he and his wife had all inherited two kinds of spiritual powers at random. And one of the spiritual powers of one of the children was exactly the [precognition] that he did not inherit from his aunt."
"He saw the wonderfulness of the [precognitive] power in that child, and he began to have a greater ambition to subvert the entire world. So, like a madman, he gave birth to more children with two kinds of power. If those children with two kinds of power give birth to children, they will only have one kind of power. After that, no matter who the children with one kind of power mate with to give birth to offspring, they will only inherit one kind of fixed power. The first group of people with one kind of power born to those with two kinds of power are the ancestors of today's nobles."
"That man used these powers to overthrow the regime at the time and stole the country. Even with so many strange powers, he could not live forever. Before he died, he told the secret of his power to his heir and ordered him to eat his body and inherit all the spiritual powers except for [precognition]. He then told him to pass on these spiritual powers from generation to generation in the same way. The direct descendants of the royal family obtained all the power by eating the remains of the previous generation, and the collateral families who inherited two or one spiritual power controlled the lifeblood of this country together with the royal family from generation to generation."
"In order to ensure the honor and wealth of the royal family, the non-heirs signed a contract with the royal family, which is the profit-sharing agreement that is passed down from generation to generation."
"That man had a good idea back then. His descendants would control this country from generation to generation. However, he didn't expect that as the bloodline became more and more dispersed and the number of psychics increased, problems would arise."
"For the direct descendants who inherit all power, the fact that each [Precognizer] who is essential to rule will only appear randomly among psychics is like a time bomb. Every king cannot guarantee that every [Precognizer] will be completely obedient and loyal to the royal family and [predict] the future for the royal family."
"So, starting with a certain king, the royal family began to secretly study human experiments and the eye that had been imprisoned by the royal family for generations. One king finally succeeded in his research. He dissected the Precognizer and only kept his brain alive in the incubator - this way he could completely control him. However, that king found that he still couldn't use the Precognition's mental power directly - he could only control the brain, but couldn't use it."
"At this time, the eye, which had been silent for countless hours, spoke for the first time. It told the king that it could use the brain for the king. It could use the brain to predict everything the royal family wanted to know about the future. It could also use all its other powers to serve the royal family. It was then that the royal family realized that this strange eye, as the source of all human spiritual power, did not have the power of prediction. The power of prediction seemed to have been deliberately stripped away from the system by someone, and was circulated in such a strange and random way."
"The Eye has been imprisoned by the royal family for thousands of years, and has never made any dangerous moves to resist. Compared to the uncontrollable Precognition, the king naturally trusts the Eye more. However, he proposed a condition for exchange. He wants the royal family to continuously provide him with humans with pure hearts. Only in this way will he be willing to provide services for the king."
At this point, some sarcasm appeared in Noang's red eyes. He shrugged and said, "Oh, [Purity of Mind], you know, Qiao You, this thing is as abstract, fickle and unreliable as [Love] - what do you think is the criterion for judging [Purity]? If a person is a so-called pure-hearted person at this moment, but is tempted and tainted at that time, what will happen? But the monster doesn't care about this. He only looks for humans with pure hearts from one king to another."
"So, the royal family has a cruel and complete process for selecting "Pure Hearts"... The royal family will first take the children they have chosen away in various ways. Then, people from the royal secret laboratory will knock those children unconscious and send them to the eye for a scan. The eye will give preliminary data. The royal family will initially select kind-hearted children based on the scores in the "Morality" column. The selected children will then undergo a series of cruel moral tests. Children who fail the assessment will either be killed or used by the current king for various other human experiments. In short, it is impossible for them to live a normal life."
"That's how it went until my father's generation. My father was originally a madman, and because of your mother's accident, he had an unparalleled sense of crisis. The kings of previous generations actually made many clones of themselves that were contrary to scientific ethics, to use as their own organ reserves and substitutes in times of crisis, but no king had made as many clones of himself as my father did..."
"Moreover, compared to his predecessors, his desire for the next Precognitive Person is even more obsessive and desperate. At the same time, he cares more about the Eye than any of his predecessors. He not only hopes to control the next Precognitive Person, but also hopes to be able to completely control the Eye like that woman back then. He feels that as long as he controls the Eye, he will be able to possess the spiritual power of Precognitive Person like that woman, and will no longer have to worry about the random birth of Precognitive Persons. He believes that as long as he finds a Pure Mind recognized by the Eye, he will be able to completely control the Eye."
"So, over the years, he has been collecting children through various channels, sending them to that eye monster to test their scores, and sending the children who passed the test to the subsequent cruel moral tests. However, no child could pass the test to the end. Most of the children who failed were used as other human experiment consumables and died on the experimental table."
"More than a decade ago, Xiaoxing and Xiaoyan were both orphans whose families were purged. Xiaoyan was from an aristocratic family, and Xiaoxing was from an ordinary family. They both passed the initial test and had reached a moral score. They were just lucky. My father needed a child to monitor you at that time, and he picked Xiaoyan. As for Xiaoxing... he was five years old at the time, and was sent to another world in the name of repaying a favor by 'Song Wen', whom my father now trusts the most. Neither of them entered the next process at that time."
"It's just that recently, because of the nobles' restless rebellion, my father has become even more crazy and neurotic. Because no one has passed the moral test, he even sent the three of us brothers and sisters to the eye for testing a year ago. Among the three of us, only I passed the moral test. My father needs to get a [Pure Mind] as soon as possible to control the eye, so he sent Xiaoyan and me to the subsequent moral tests - yes, my father didn't think that my mental power would be helpful in conquering you at first. He originally sent someone else to win your love. You should have experienced this in that public school..."
"My father originally used me as a tool to control the Eye and put me through those moral tests. My brother didn't know this, so he was so persistent in wanting to kill you. He thought that killing you would end everything, but that wasn't the case."
At this point, Nuoang was trembling with emotion, and even his eyes were red. He took a deep breath before continuing, "A year ago, Xiaoyan and I met Xiaoxing and Xiaosong in that moral test... At that time, including Xiaoyan, Xiaoxing, and Xiaosong, a total of 20 people took the one-year test. Among us, I was 20 years old and the oldest, and the youngest was a 5-year-old girl - my father really couldn't be considered a human being..."
Nuoang held his head in pain at this time: "In that year, in order to survive, I almost killed that little girl... In fact, among us, except Xiaoxing and that little girl, each of us has a moral stain that we absolutely cannot face..."
"It was Xiaoxing who saved all of us. In order to save us, he committed suicide a total of 301 times. In the end, even though he passed the test and became the only qualified person, his spirit was on the verge of collapse. Only by removing that memory could he continue to live..."
"Just like that, my father finally found a [Pure Mind] that satisfied him. He wanted to use Little Star to make a deal with the Eye. However, after knowing that my father wanted to eat him and control his precognitive mental power like the original woman, the Eye proposed that if my father wanted to achieve his goal, he must get the next [Precognitive], because the brain of this Precognitive was on the verge of death and was useless. He had to eat the next [Precognitive] so that the precognitive ability would return to his body. At that time, as long as the king gave him Little Star, he would be willing to be eaten by the king."
"So, Qiao You, my father put all his attention on you again. He suddenly found other uses for me and started to perform human body modification on me. He also used my mental power and genes to conduct human experiments on others, including Lin Qian and Xiao Yan. He was committed to turning me into a monster who could only fall in love with you and would definitely receive your love."
"A few days ago, the transformation was successful. As you can see, I became the monster I am now and was sent to this school. I changed from an alpha to an omega. My mental power became even more out of control and even began to dominate my self."
"Theoretically, before I was transformed, I could use my mental power to completely change the hormone secretion of anyone's body and thus gain their love. But now, my mental power has been transformed to be completely bound to you. I will only love you unconsciously, follow you, and release my mental power to you in order to gain your love. Qiao You, it's ridiculous, isn't it? My father, who originally had no humanity, completely abandoned the last bit of humanity and even toyed with his own son's life, just to gain your love."
However, he would never allow himself to fall in love with Qiao You - even if he would never have any chance of getting the person he truly loved, he would never allow himself to be controlled by mental power and fall in love with Qiao You.
This was his only resistance to his miserable fate.
Thinking of "love" which seemed to be cursed, he sighed from the bottom of his heart: "I have to say, your mother is really a terrible genius."
Qiao You's green eyes were as cold as ice, and he narrowed them dangerously.
Noang immediately realized that he had touched the opponent's minefield and had to ask for help, so he naturally raised his hands in surrender: "Sorry, I won't say anything more."
He said: "Let's get back to the topic of that monster and Xiaoxing."
"Before, when I was being transformed, that eye, for some unknown reason, transformed Xiao Song into a system and gave it to Xiao Xing. It also asked my father to send Xiao Xing to you. He kindly told my father that before I was successfully transformed, sending Xiao Xing to this university would help the royal family stop those nobles from attacking you. My father felt that everything was under his control, so he believed it, and used the power in his hands to create a new identity for Xiao Xing and really sent him to you."
At this point, Nuoang looked straight at the blond young man opposite him, whose expression was cold enough to kill people. He said, "But, I don't believe that eye can be so kind. I also don't believe that he has no other purpose towards Xiaoxing."
He took a deep breath, stared at the young man's green eyes almost paranoidly, and said the last words he wanted to say: "To be honest, I told you this just to use you. Qiao You, I guess it was you who destroyed one of my father's core laboratories not long ago. You hate my father and want to kill him, but at the same time, you love Xiaoxing and want to protect him... Then, please go and kill my father and that damn eye, and completely destroy their shady kingdom..."
"Because of your mother's power and because you were once a Precognitive Person, that eye cannot predict your specific actions. Therefore, you can do this..."
Another person who could do it was Lan Yexing... Because he did not grow up in this world, most of the causes and effects of his life were related to another world, so the mental power of [precognition] was also unable to predict his actions - in fact, during that year, he felt that the other world was Lan Yexing's hometown, and he always inexplicably felt that Lan Yexing would go back sooner or later.
Even if Lan Yexing voluntarily stayed there now, these people absolutely did not want Lan Yexing to think about that year again, nor did they want Lan Yexing to face the inhumane horror and bloodshed again, or to face the king and that eye again.
Lan Yexing should not have blood on his hands - not even the blood of a man like his father who deserved death.
Lan Yexing deserves to be happy in a clean and pure way - no one in this world is more qualified to be happy than Lan Yexing.
Then, we can only use Qiao You.
Lan Yexing loved him so much that she was willing to risk her life to save him, so he had to do these dirty things for Lan Yexing - what's more, that was also Qiao You's own hatred.
Noang stomped the ground lightly, his eyes red with hatred, and said: "Like that public school, this university was built because of you. You are the protagonist of countless causes and effects in the past ten years. The basement of the school is my father's largest and most critical laboratory. My father and that eye are both there. Please, blow up that dirty place and kill them..."
Nuoang gritted his teeth and laughed fiercely: "Yanmin and I will be with you. We will risk our lives to help you. Qiao You, I am doing this for my sister's survival, Yanmin for the family feud, and you for your hatred and Xiaoxing. Now, do you agree?"
Qiao You stared at him expressionlessly and coldly, with terrifying hostility surging in his green eyes. He did not say yes, nor did he say no. He just made his choice without hesitation - his fingers slowly bent, and the space in the private room showed a terrifying distortion for a moment. The next moment, he came to the dark and cold underground, and then strode towards the only passage with an expressionless face, not caring at all about Nuoang and Yan Min who were directly pulled out of the space and fell heavily.
…
At the same time, at the deepest part of the tunnel, Lan Yexing stepped into a room with a cold look on his face. The room was filled with the smell of cold disinfectant but was decorated extremely warmly.
The walls around the room are painted in warm yellow, light pink and sky blue, the floor is covered with soft and lovely carpets, and there are green plants everywhere.
In the middle of the room are soft sofas and a small table. A laptop is placed on the table in front of one of the sofas, and a cute cartoon doll is placed on the sofa opposite.
Rather than a laboratory, this place is more like a psychological counseling room where people can relax.
But in this cold and eerie underground atmosphere, such a room makes people even more uncomfortable.
After Lan Yexing walked into the room, "Song Wen" retreated respectfully and gently closed the door.
Lan Yexing was tense and looked at everything with vigilance.
Suddenly, the laptop on the table lit up, and a huge, terrifying scarlet eye appeared on the dark desktop. As the eye moved and blinked strangely on the desktop, an ethereal and eerie voice echoed in the closed room: "Lan Yexing, long time no see."
Lan Yexing frowned slightly and looked at the eye with a cold expression.
