The Awakened appeared.
In the real world outside the sandbox, cultivation has just taken shape, and people have no concept of supernatural powers, but Lin Tuo is very familiar with it.
Whether it is the first batch of evolutionaries in the wasteland.
Later, the wizards and sea people in the New World were all examples of natural supernatural abilities.
Not to mention, there is still a precious apprentice in his house who can use starvation in exchange for injury recovery...
Therefore, the moment he saw the "fire-breathing man", when Li Tai and others were still puzzled, Lin Tuo understood what happened.
Someone has awakened.
But... why is this happening
coincide
Lucky
Strictly speaking, it is not impossible for practitioners to awaken abilities. In the No. 2 sandbox, there have been many examples.
It was written in the books collected from the sandbox, and later, when talking with Hathaway and others, I also asked around.
It is not uncommon for thousands of years for ordinary people to accidentally awaken supernatural powers because of their cultivation.
It also makes sense in theory.
You think, superpowers come from spirituality, and spirituality comes from the spirit world... along with ether.
So a little bit of spirituality comes into reality, gets merged with some lucky ones, and awakens... It makes logical sense.
But Lintuo still felt that something was wrong, and recalled the incident that he poured a large amount of ether into Yangcheng not long ago, praying for the self-destruction of the candle.
"It's tricky." He thought.
There was a lot of noise in the hall of the self-cultivation hall. At this time, Li Tai and other "staff" had rushed over to protect the scene. The surrounding crowd were chattering, and Lin Tuo followed suit.
The process is not tortuous and bizarre, even a little abrupt.
Probably a practitioner flipped through the manual, flipped through it, and suddenly fell to the ground with a bang, and then the pores all over his body began to breathe fire.
Well, pretty sloppy.
"The museum is closed early today, please come back tomorrow." The situation was too weird, and no one dared to move, so the people in the self-cultivation gym had to announce the early closure. Lin Tuo and Li Tai greeted each other, and took advantage of the situation to leave with the flow of people.
He wasn't worried about the fire-breathing man.
According to historical experience in the sandbox, awakening is often accompanied by a coma, which will stabilize within a few hours at most.
only…
"Tsk, it won't be on the evening news."
…
…
Leaving the scene, Lin Tuo had this incident in his heart, and he lost the mood for shopping. He bought some vegetables and fruits, and then teleported back to Lishan in a remote place.
At night, unsurprisingly, the awakening incident spread loudly in this pilot city.
There was no report on the TV station, and the mainstream platform was calm.
Obviously, they have already said hello, but this cannot hinder the enthusiasm of Yangcheng citizens for discussion.
All of a sudden, various speculations and rumors flew wildly, and things became more and more evil.
In the blink of an eye, the next day, a piece of news came out:
The first "awakened person" in Yangcheng officially settled in the self-cultivation hall.
There is also a video attached, which is a picture of a man demonstrating the ability to control flames. Suddenly, the risk of the entire public opinion is reversed.
Combining the global image content some time ago, people naturally have an association:
Could it be that in addition to strengthening the body, there is also a chance of awakening "supernatural powers" in practice
In the next two days, more and more people were awakened in Yangcheng and surrounding cities.
Several appear almost every day.
The ability to obtain is also different, and some are more cool, such as fire, water, and small electric balls.
Some are more introverted, such as greatly increasing vision, gaining night vision ability, or doubling strength.
For a while, the whole city became restless, and the government was even more overwhelmed, busy running around.
At first, there was some idea of blocking the news. Later, as the number of people increased, it seemed that they could not control it, and they simply gave up on themselves. It only took a few days to make the city full of storms.
Lin Tuo also saw a lot of discussions on the Internet.
This also made him more certain of one thing, that is, this is definitely not just a matter of chance.
In terms of probability, it makes sense for a few of the huge crowd to awaken.
But... this is a bit too intensive.
It's only been a few days of work, and there are dozens of people who have awakened abilities around them. If you want to use a metaphor, it's like mushrooming mushrooms after a rain.
Well, Lin Tuo felt that the ether he spit out was the rain.
Perhaps, it was the "spirituality" that prayed for the self-destruction of the candle to pass away, mixed in the ether, and was spit out into the real world by him
Otherwise I can't explain it...
Thinking of this, Lin Tuo, who was sitting under the eaves of the house, couldn't help rubbing the tattered candlestick in his hand again, and sighed: "You really can make trouble."
"What?" Huaxi, who was squatting next to him and pondering "common language skills", glanced at him, and expressed his doubts in correct Chinese.
"It's none of your business, go play around." Lin Tuo raised his forehead.
…
…
After a few days of anxiety, the number of awakened people finally gradually stabilized and began to show a downward trend, which made Lin Tuo finally heave a sigh of relief.
He was always worried that something might go wrong.
After all, although cultivation methods can also make people stronger, it is a slow process that requires time and hard work, and the whole society accepts it more calmly.
But awakening is different.
This thing is equivalent to putting a gun in the hands of ordinary people. If someone can't see the situation clearly and commits crimes, it will be troublesome.
However, Lin Tuo thought about it and found that the situation was still under control.
First of all, the lethality of most abilities is not great, and they are all within the understandable range. Referring to the experience in the sandbox, there are many evolutionaries in the wasteland, and the real thing to rely on is firearms.
The wizards are a huge group, and they were bound and arrested by chains.
Secondly, most of the awakened ones only appear around Yangcheng, within the coverage of that mouth of ether, and there are not many in number.
When this wave of awakening passes and the government has experience, it will be easier.
In the meantime, Li Tai called "Taihe Daowen" once through the message Daowen, asking about the awakened ones, Lin Tuo could only vaguely say that it was the aftermath of the last incident, and it would calm down soon.
And as the number of newly awakened people decreased and they were incorporated, the popularity of public opinion also slowly declined.
But just when everyone thought that this matter was under control.
An unexpected news made people nervous again.
"... At about 11 o'clock this morning, a vile cash transport vehicle was robbed on Fujiang Road in this city. The hunt is underway, the general public is welcome to provide clues... "
Another evening, in the martial arts arena.
When the two moved the small table and had dinner face to face, Lin Tuo pushed a piece of local news on his mobile phone.
Then, Huaxi, who was holding the rice bowl and eating the rice, looked at Lin Tuo opposite and his face became gloomy.
"Teacher?" she asked tentatively.
"It's okay, you can eat first, I'll go back to the house to deal with something."
Lin Tuo gave Huaxi a smile, then lost his appetite, got up and went into the study, his eyes fell on a bustling city in the evolution sand table, showing a little anger.
Finally, the first case of Awakened One breaking the law inevitably appeared.
Lin Tuo thought about it and felt that he had to do something.
