Chapter 45, first update: The sound of bowls.
The tickets that the proprietress sold to Xinxue and the others were real, and they successfully entered the City Lord's Mansion.
The meeting was to begin a little later, and the people were now informed that they were free to walk about the gardens.
When the time comes, someone will bring them into the venue.
Old Wang looked at the lush greenery with envy, "I really want to compete with the rich. They even build gardens this big, just like the city parks described in pre-apocalyptic literature."
Plants also have the potential to evolve.
It’s okay if the weeds in the wild are not trampled by anyone.
The neatly trimmed bushes that are frequently grazed by herbivores are the most evolved.
Ah Shu looked around and felt that everywhere was full of people: "Let's just treat it as a park and find a place to sit for a while."
Using her keen sense of smell, she led everyone to a corner with less traffic and shaded by trees.
At the same time, when you have nothing to do, prick up your ears and listen to what people around you are saying.
Not far away was a pair of brothers.
I don’t know if my brother didn’t sleep well or what.
His mental state was worrying at this time, and he kept muttering: "Can you choose me today? Please, you must choose me..."
His younger brother was in a completely different state, sitting quietly by the side and watching over his brother.
When he reads too loudly and attracts other people's attention, stop him in time.
Further away was a family of four. The mother was distributing breakfast to everyone. They came to line up without having eaten.
What’s surprising is that they have two children, one in his teens and the other six or seven years old.
The two children were also psychics, wearing golden bracelets on their wrists.
As far as Ah Shu knows, the awakening of human superpowers is now roughly concentrated in two stages.
One is when the baby is just born and is still premature.
They will show a slight talent for supernatural powers while still in their infancy, and they only need to be carefully cultivated afterwards.
Another time period is before and after the body enters sexual maturity.
Human life is generally calculated based on the first nocturnal emission for boys and the first menstruation for girls.
The smell of the two children was not too bitter compared to other humans, so they probably had not yet reached sexual maturity.
"How old were you when your superpowers awakened?" Ah Shu turned around curiously and asked Xiao Ye and Lao Wang.
Xiao Ye recalled: "I think I have awakened the ability to detoxify since I was born, but my ability is more internalized and generally difficult for others to detect.
I discovered this when my mom put the wrong mushrooms in a meal and the whole family was poisoned and sent to the hospital, but I was completely fine.”
Before that, she would occasionally notice spots of purple light emanating from her fingers.
But since I had no control over it, I just felt dizzy.
Lao Wang showed a somewhat nostalgic expression.
He replied, “I was probably fourteen or fifteen years old, and I really wanted to go out of town on a mission.
But at that time I looked as thin as a skinny monkey and was just an ordinary person. None of the captains were willing to take responsibility and no one was willing to accept me.
I would climb to the roof every day and look outside.
One day, I suddenly realized that my eyesight had improved significantly. I could see things a few kilometers away clearly, and even the details that I couldn’t see clearly would automatically appear in my mind.”
He smiled and said, "I asked Teacher Feng and found out that this was the awakening of my superpowers. From then on, I was directly assigned to the first team and worked my way up to where I am now."
Xinxue caught a new keyword and came over to ask, "Was Teacher Feng the previous captain of the first team?"
"Teacher Feng is the previous teacher, and the previous teacher was Captain Lu's girlfriend, Teacher Feng's daughter." Xiao Ye was about to gossip when he suddenly heard someone calling someone over there. The meeting was about to officially begin.
They hurriedly stopped and followed the large group toward the City Lord's Mansion.
This made Xinxue and Ashu very anxious.
They have known Lu Erya for so long, but have never heard that she has a girlfriend!
So how can a low-energy person invest emotions? It is totally unimaginable!
Entering the City Lord's Mansion, another wave of shock hits me. Everything inside is connected, forming a large hall with a circular platform in the middle.
There were countless futons on the floor, and the same was true on the second and third floors.
It feels like I'm going to give a lecture.
The messenger, dressed in a white robe that completely covered his face, said, "Everyone, please find a place to sit. Ten lucky people will be chosen today as well. Don't be sad if you are not chosen. As long as you come to the gathering, everyone will be blessed."
Everyone became excited upon hearing this and rushed forward, wishing they could sit in the place closest to the platform.
A Shu and the others didn't have the desire to compete, so they just found a place to sit nearby.
The woman in the blue dress who had been queuing in front of them was also sitting at the edge.
But a white-robed messenger walked over and took the initiative to lead her to the front.
The expression on the woman's face was both happy and sad, and she didn't know why.
Ah Shu looked around and pointed at a man who was wrapped up tightly with no skin exposed.
He whispered to Xinxue's ear, "That's the guy we talked to at the hotel yesterday. I didn't expect him to be here too. He smells really bad."
The thought of that man's head soaking in the urinal all night made her sick to her stomach.
Perhaps because they were afraid of being kicked out, the people who were fighting for the front seats were crazy but did not fight.
Soon the entire hall was packed with people.
The envoys, dressed in printed white robes and crowns on their heads, knelt on the left and right sides of the platform in the center of the hall.
While beating the bowl, he chanted loudly, words that no one could hear clearly.
The whole place suddenly became quiet, even the breathing slowed down, and you could probably hear a pin drop.
The sound of the bowl makes people drowsy.
Suddenly, the platform slowly rose upwards, and a faint fishy smell filled the air.
A Shu frowned and quietly moved the cushion under his butt towards Xinxue, sitting next to her.
Her intuition told her that this sudden appearance was not a good thing.
The smell spreading over there was somewhat familiar, but also very complex, and it was difficult to tell what it was exactly.
Xin Xue noticed her nervousness, shook her hand back, slowly narrowed her eyes, and began to observe the evolution lines of several people around her.
We are all psychics, so we have a lot more lines on our bodies than ordinary people, so it will be very difficult to see through them completely.
But it's so strange, the lines on most people's bodies are clean white, without any red or black lines.
If you go on missions frequently, injuries are inevitable.
Like everyone in the first team, even the strongest ones have a few faint red lines and hidden injuries.
Everyone in the hall was so clean that it looked as if someone had cleaned them.
Xinxue shifted her attention a little further away, to the woman in the blue dress.
Now she finally noticed something unusual.
The woman was pregnant and there was another evolutionary line of life in her body.
Some of the lines on her body are darker, some are redder, but they are all within an acceptable range and look like a normal person.
The evolutionary lines of the little life in the woman's belly are all pure white, clean and flawless.
The bowl sounded for a while, and the two white-robed messengers finally stopped chanting.
The one on the left slowly stood up and said, "The City Lord has chosen the lucky winners for this month's gathering. Please come to the front of the stage."
Some are happy, some are looking forward to it, and some are worried.
Several staff members hiding in the dark came from all directions and began to pull up the selected people.
The woman in the blue dress and the brother who had been muttering in the garden outside were both chosen.
Seeing the staff slowly walking towards her, Xinxue's heart couldn't stop beating wildly.
Unexpectedly, the man in white robe actually stopped in front of her and slowly extended his hand.
Xinxue didn't want to go, she sat on the mat and pretended she knew nothing.
The man waited for a long time, but she didn't extend her hand. He was a little confused and stretched his hand closer.
We've been delayed here for too long, and many people are looking over here.
Everyone around was filled with envy and jealousy, wishing they could squeeze in and replace the new snow.
Ah Shu leaned close to her ear and whispered, "You don't want to go? Then can I go?"
Xinxue wanted to refuse and let her choose whoever she wanted, but not her own person.
But when I thought about the fact that Ah Shu still had a lot of blackout pills on her, plus her fighting power, she would definitely not be hurt.
It would be a good thing to know more about the city lord, as this may be of great help to their future plans.
So she nodded.
Ah Shu smiled brightly, put his hand on the white-robed messenger's hand, and stood up.
Although the latter covered her face with a cloth, one could still sense her doubts.
She let go of Ah Shu's hand and reached out to Xin Xue again. But Ah Shu refused to give in and insisted that she choose him.
The other white-robed messengers left after selecting their candidates, but this side delayed for a long time.
The sound of the bowl in the center of the hall rang out again, silently urging.
Those who want to be chosen are not shown any mercy, while those who don’t want to be chosen keep trying to get ahead.
The white-robed messenger was really helpless because of the entanglement.
I had no choice but to hastily choose Ah Shu and led her to the middle with resentment.
After all ten people arrived, they raised the platform to a height of more than three meters and slowly opened a door.
The white-robed messenger gestured for them to come in.
Xinxue didn't know what happened next. The white-robed messenger chanted for a while and then began to distribute holy wine to everyone.
Everyone received a full cup of transparent liquid. Besides the smell of wine, there was also a strange aroma. It was really hard to tell what was special about it.
Some people cried with joy and drank the wine in one gulp.
Some people sipped it in small sips, as if they were reluctant to drink it.
Some people even carefully packed them into their backpacks, apparently intending to take them away with them.
Xinxue has doubts about the safety of this thing.
But before she could say anything, Xiao Ye suggested: "Let's take it back and drink it."
She has the ability to detoxify.
Although there was no sign of poison in the wine, he quietly used his supernatural powers but didn't find anything unusual.
But her intuition told her 'don't drink', so she chose to trust herself.
Wine is a luxury, and Lao Wang really wanted to try it and enjoy it.
But after hearing what Xiao Ye said, he quickly gave up the idea.
In order to fit in, the three of them picked up their glasses and pretended to drink a few times, and even commented on the taste of the holy wine in a fake manner.
Since she was free anyway, Xinxue chose a man next to her who took the wine glass and drank it in big gulps, and quietly connected his evolution line.
She was horrified to see that the evolution line on that person had actually shortened a little bit...
The evolutionary lines on each person are randomly arranged according to the body's veins, and it is impossible to tell at first glance if there are more or less.
But she clearly remembered that there was a section of evolutionary line at the end of this person's palm that forked into two strands, and it was quite obvious.
But at this time, there was only one strand left, and a part of his evolution line disappeared out of thin air!
And in the room in the center of the hall, even more aura emanated.
Ah Shu smelled a strong fishy odor from some kind of turtle.
