Chapter 066 Hilda
They were in a vast and barren desert. Within a hundred miles, there was only a three-story building in front of them and a thin tree without branches next to the building.
Turning around, I saw a door frame standing upright behind me, embedded in the sand, and the door panel was still swaying in the hot wind.
They just walked out from here.
The residence of the leader of the Justice and Peace Alliance in the Kalima Desert of South Africa.
"This is the boss's home." Bubble Gum listened for a moment and said, "The boss said that only Jiang Zhan and Su Yunling can go in. The others and I are waiting outside."
"Great!" Su Yunling hummed an unknown song happily and strode straight inside.
Ji Weihang was not too worried. She asked Fu Xuan to call her if there was anything and followed him in.
Passing through the deserted yard and walking up the steps in front of the door, the door quietly opened, revealing a dark interior, like the mouth of an animal waiting for its prey to enter.
Su Yunling walked in briskly without hesitation.
Ji Weihang was one step behind.
After they entered, the door closed silently, blocking the view of several people outside the yard.
Bubble Gum lazily leaned against the door frame, took out a piece of gum from his pocket and threw it into his mouth, chewing it, and blew a bubble, which popped with a snap. "Wait, there's a lot to wait for."
Fu Xuan looked around. The environment here was somewhat similar to Ping Yao, which made her feel at ease.
Entering the house, the darkness quietly receded, revealing the layout of the first floor.
The staircase in front leads to the second floor, with paintings on the walls and dark green carpet on the stairs;
The kitchen on the right is fully stocked with tableware, neatly arranged;
In the living room on the left, there is a fireplace, sofa and TV.
Looking around, there are vases of all sizes filled with bright and juicy flowers. Everywhere is clean and tidy, and sunlight shines in from every window, making it bright and warm.
A very normal, even very nice house.
"So beautiful." Su Yunling's eyes showed envy.
"Of course." A childish voice sounded.
They looked up.
A little girl in overalls squatted on the stairs above, holding onto the railing, and poked her head out from the gap to look at them, "Jiang Zhan and Su Yunling?"
The chubby face was a little deformed by the squeezing, and the blue eyes looked down, "I am the boss of the Zhenghe Alliance, Hilda."
Ji Weihang remained silent.
Hilda's bone age is only eight years old.
"Hello, Hilda." Facing the little girl, Su Yunling restrained herself a lot, but she still had a smile on her face that she couldn't hide. "I'm Su Yunling."
Hilda looked at Su Yunling, suddenly snorted and said, "I don't like you."
Su Yunling's smile froze on her face.
After saying this sentence that brought Su Yunling a critical blow, Hilda looked away and looked at "Jiang Zhan", "I will tell you the origin of the birth of superhumans. As a condition, you must do me a favor."
Ji Weihang asked: "What help?"
Hilda: "Save my mother."
From her tone, she seemed to be sure that he could save her mother. Why? Wei Hang's eyes moved slightly, but he still didn't think too much and agreed: "Okay."
There is no reason or need to hesitate to rescue a mother at the invitation of a daughter.
"You are such a good person." Hilda couldn't help but feel happy when Wei Hang was so straightforward. It seemed that there were still many good people in the world.
She stood up and walked down the stairs slowly, fulfilling her promise as she walked: "When do you think parahumans first appeared?"
Ji Weihang recalled the information he had obtained before, "Yu Nu appeared eight years ago. She was the first superhuman to appear in front of the public. But this does not mean that she is the first superhuman in human history.
"After her appearance, superhumans hidden among the crowd gradually emerged. Tracing back to the earliest history, superhumans appeared decades ago."
Hilda walked to the corner of the stairs and sat down, looking at her and said in a serious tone: "Do you know aliens?"
Ji Weihang thought for a moment and nodded, "Five years ago, the people of Helenna intended to capture Blue Star as a colony to resist the enemy. Three years ago, the enemy army of Helenna also tried to capture Blue Star, but was also repelled."
"This is all the federal government's rhetoric." When talking about the federal government, Hilda showed obvious disgust. "In fact, whether it is Helenna or Shanlenger, their purpose is not to invade, but to find people."
"The S cells in our bodies actually come from aliens who landed on the blue planet decades ago. They encountered an accident while traveling in space and were forced to crash on the blue planet. The government at the time captured them and used their blood for experiments. Afterwards, the S cells in the test subjects spread in human society, and gradually superhumans appeared."
Ji Weihang nodded and asked, "What about the messenger of God? Are there really gods?"
Hilda said: "There is a saying that the gods in ancient times were also superhuman. Although there is no evidence, we guess that maybe the ancient gods were just aliens or humans with special abilities."
Ji Weihang asked: "How do you know that the origin of superhumans is aliens?"
Hilda started from the beginning, "In the beginning, the Alliance's method of finding the origin was the same as other organizations.
“Following the timeline, we can trace back to sixty years ago; following the S cells, we can trace back to the major water sources.
"This is a chain of evidence and timeline that the federal government has already created."
"It was fate that led the Zhenghe Alliance to a completely different path." It was a little funny to hear a child talking about fate all the time, but Ji Weihang just listened carefully. "By chance, a member of the Zhenghe Alliance rescued a seriously injured superhuman."
"From this superhuman, the Alliance learned that the federal government was hunting her down because she had seen the secrets of the Federation."
"Although she was unwilling to reveal the secret, the Zhenghe Alliance still helped her fake her death and allowed her and her child to join the alliance. At her suggestion, they found an opportunity to leave the disputed West Continent and came to South Continent."
"As her child grew up, her status in the alliance became higher and higher, and her relationship with the alliance members became better and better. Eventually, she told the secret to the leader of the alliance. After knowing the origin of the superhumans, the leader of the alliance passed the throne to her and left without a trace.
"Although she accepted the position of leader of the alliance, the curse on her erupted due to her leaking secrets, and she became seriously ill. Her child will temporarily take over the position." Hilda lowered her voice, "That is me."
"The affairs of the alliance are actually decided by the aunts and sisters. I am just an honorary leader who occasionally conveys my mother's ideas." Hilda perked up and looked at Ji Weihang. "I've finished speaking. Do you have any questions?"
Ji Weihang said: "I heard that you are unwilling to cooperate with the Dawn Army?"
"I know you have a good relationship with the Dawn Army." Hilda's face fell. "I don't hate the Dawn Army, but what's the difference between dividing South Continent with them and being swallowed up? They are such a powerful force, and our philosophies are similar. We will gradually become one."
No wonder Ling Si was so confident that "different paths lead to the same destination." Hearing this, Ji Weihang thought that even the people in the Zhenghe Alliance were worried about this kind of thing, which meant that it was indeed very likely.
“I just want to preserve the positive-sum alliance that Mom and I like,” Hilda said. “If you can cure Mom, I will no longer hinder the cooperation between the two organizations. Mom is more important than all this.”
Ji Weihang nodded and said, "Where is your mother?"
"Upstairs, come up." Hilda stood up and turned to walk upstairs. Halfway up, she looked down at Su Yunling who was standing downstairs, "Su Yunling, you come up too."
Su Yunling's originally gloomy expression suddenly became happy and she followed him.
The decoration on the second floor is just as cozy as the first floor.
The room where Hilda's mother was located had obviously been carefully cared for. The temperature and humidity were obviously different from those outside. It was comfortable and pleasant. The sunlight outside the window fell on the bay window, and outside there were green trees swaying, birds singing, and insects chirping.
In front of the bed, the gauze hanging from the ceiling blocked the heat waves coming in from outside. Hilda walked to the bed lightly and said softly in a childish voice, "Mom, I found a doctor for you. She is a cultivator."
"Hilda, thank you." The two people at the door could vaguely see the thin figure lying on the bed. The woman reached out and touched the girl's face. "You go out, we can be alone together."
"Okay, Mom." Hilda did not object and accepted it very naturally.
She walked out of the room, left Ji Weihang in the room, and closed the door.
The room was well soundproofed, and the two people in the corridor could not hear any sound from inside.
Hilda and Su Yunling stood against the wall in the corridor waiting. Su Yunling wanted to strike up a conversation, but then she hesitated when she remembered that the other party didn't like her.
Hilda looked at the light on the ceiling and volunteered, "Do you know why I don't like you?"
Su Yunling said honestly: "I don't know."
"I hate that you know everything, so you treat us less like real people." Hilda turned to look at her, "More like you're looking through us and seeing yourself."
Seeing Su Yunling was a little stiff, he looked forward again and said, "You think we won't do anything to you, so you act recklessly. This also makes me very unhappy."
Hilda is much more mature than she looks.
Su Yunling was silent for a moment. "I just thought about it for a long time and I think this is the reason. I'm sorry."
She squatted down, almost as tall as Hilda, "I really didn't expect that I would see you one day, and I was reminded of my childhood, so I was a little too happy."
She hugged her knees, leaned against the wall, and said, "Do you know who I like best among you?"
Without waiting for Hilda's answer, he said, "It's you."
"When I was little, I liked Lingsi the most because she was the protagonist and was very handsome and cool. But after I grew up and lost my family and became alone, I looked back and my favorite became you. I can empathize with your pain and difficulties..." She stared at the pattern of the carpet in a trance, as if she was reminiscing, but also as if she didn't want others to see her weak side.
Without dwelling on the subject for long, she said: "I know you are real people, but it's hard to change that mentality. I'm sorry."
Hilda could feel the sadness spreading from her, her expression softened, and after a moment's thought, she took small steps closer and squatted with her, "Okay, then I don't hate you anymore."
What a little kid. Su Yunling wiped away the tears that overflowed from the corners of her eyes, and a light blue light flashed in her lowered eyes.
