When the morning light was faint, the powers were still awake, and fell into a slumber.
"Bai Anyi" solved the two "catfish" who wanted to kill them, and had three hours of concrete time.
The forest in the early morning is full of fog, and the air seems to be mixed with milk.
"Bai Anyi" stayed on the roof of the hut, overlooking the squirrels jumping on the top of the tree.
After a while, a man took a seat beside him quietly.
There are not many people who can do this, not to mention that "Bai Anyi" is on full alert at the moment, so "Bai Anyi" is far more worried than killing.
In the memory of "Bai Anyi", this person is not any one of the escaped power users.
Fortunately, the person who came here is not offensive in appearance and temperament, and looks very weak. He is pressing his left front chest with one hand, and his lips are lightly white, which makes "Bai Anyi" inevitably think of a person. .
He tentatively called: "... Chi Jiangyu?"
The visitor nodded slightly: "Yes. I have something to talk to you about."
"Bai Anyi" crossed his long legs and looked at him curiously: "Do you actually look like this?"
"What's wrong?"
"Bai Anyi" smiled and said, "Okay, Chi Xiaochi is not at a loss, he is a good match. He is talented and handsome."
"Thank you." Lou Ying pursed her lips, "I came here just to tell you about him."
Lou Ying's data body has not been completely repaired, and it will inevitably consume energy to turn into an entity again, so he can't hide his weakness when he speaks.
But he still felt that it was necessary for him to come here: "I want to ask you to apologize to Xiaochi."
"Bai Anyi" is also a smart person. He lowered his eyelids and rolled his eyes twice before trying to understand: "Because I said he was cold-blooded by the pond? Did you hear that?"
Lou Ying nodded.
"Bai Anyi" said, "I was comforting him."
Lou Ying laughed: "Is there such a comfort?"
"Bai Anyi" said firmly: "There is such comfort."
Lou Ying stopped talking, waiting for his explanation.
"Do you know what is the most painful thing about being a human being?" "Bai Anyi" raised two fingers, "Two things: wanting to be a bad person, but with good intentions; wanting to be a good person, but mixed with private thoughts."
"Both ends are not related, it's not others who suffer, it's yourself." "Bai Anyi" said, "A cold-blooded person will not worry about necessary losses, nor will he feel uncomfortable for not doing his best. Under the circumstances at that time ,I… "
Lou Ying didn't speak, just looked at him.
"Bai Anyi" also figured out what he meant in his silence, and didn't explain more: "Yes, I was wrong. I will tell him."
Lou Ying is polite: "Thank you."
"Bai Anyi" has a clear mind: "There is nothing to be thankful for. As a person, I have been tied to Xiaobai since I became conscious. I don't need to get along with others, and I have never considered getting along with anyone else. You guys The two are the only people I talk to the most besides him. I have to thank you for pointing out my problem, otherwise, if I regret it later, I don't know where to find you."
When Lou Ying came out, he originally wanted to ask "Bai Anyi" to apologize to Chi Xiaochi for his words, but after hearing "Bai Anyi"'s words, he was no longer in a hurry to go back: "In the future, what are your plans with him?"
"Ah... Yes, your mission is completed, and when you have accumulated enough 'regret', it's time to go."
"Bai Anyi" nodded and made a brief arrangement for his future life: "Even if we escape, there is no way we can stay in this country, the most likely way is to borrow the road you paved and use the video in the battle royale to go abroad. Apply for political asylum, go to a country that is more tolerant of people with supernatural abilities, and let Xiaobai do something he likes after he falls."
"Bai Anyi"'s words were mostly calm and sober from the beginning to the end, and there was no heat from the fireworks in the world.
But Lou Ying had read his memory and knew what he looked like in front of the real Bai Anyi.
Gentle, patient, measured, know what to say and what not to say.
It can't be put on.
"Bai Anyi" knows what to do is the best, but he just doesn't have the patience for others.
Lou Ying asked, "How about you?"
"Me?" "Bai Anyi" said, "I can kill for him, or I can not kill for him. A heart is so big, and it grows on him again. Of course, where he goes, where do I go. "
After speaking, he became a little melancholy: "However, I killed someone in front of him, and I don't know what he will think of me."
Lou Ying: "I've read some books related to psychology. It says that the birth of dual personality is mostly due to the spiritual needs of the main personality."
"Bai Anyi": "So?"
Lou Ying: "So, you are the person he subconsciously wants to exist. You have the ability, but you didn't kill innocent people indiscriminately. That alone is good enough."
"Bai Anyi" looked at him: "Thank you. You are very good at comforting people."
Lou Ying was about to answer when suddenly his expression changed, and he hurriedly said sorry, and his figure disappeared in the morning mist.
When his main consciousness returned to Chi Xiaochi's body, Chi Xiaochi was already rinsing his mouth with the rainwater he received last night.
Lou Ying roughly counted the time.
Everyone settled in the hut at one o'clock in the morning, Chi Xiaochi went to bed at 2:30, woke up once at 4:30, and now it's only early 6:00.
… He slept for less than four hours at full capacity.
Lou Ying felt a little distressed: "Why don't you sleep longer?"
Chi Xiaochi said, "It's been a while since I woke up. The stock market opened and it's currently red."
Others don't understand what he is talking about, Lou Ying naturally knows.
He looked at the progress value and said in surprise: "78 points? Jiao Qingguang's remorse value moved so quickly?"
"I saw the news." Chi Xiaochi said, "...he got up quite early."
His ex-boyfriend who was twisted into prison by his own hands became a wanted criminal who led seventy-six supernatural beings to escape from prison overnight, and there have been abnormal deaths in many places. It's strange that Qingguang is not cowardly.
"We still have a teleport card." Lou Ying suggested, "I don't have so many eyes now, why don't you just go to his house and scare him."
Chi Xiaochi was a little surprised: "Brother, who did you learn this from?"
Lou Ying: "I like to learn by myself."
Chi Xiaochi pierced him with a smile: "Stealing a teacher."
Lou Ying is good-hearted: "Can we steal Teacher Chi together?"
Just kidding, Lou Ying still has his own plans in mind.
Before, they were trapped in that virtual world of consciousness, and there was no way to get close to Jiao Qingguang. Now that they escaped, he only hoped that he could gather the remorse and leave this world as soon as possible.
In such a world, people's will, spirit and personal safety are greatly tested.
Even if the video is released, they are not sure whether the agency will find them in the short term, and they are not sure whether these obedient power users will have other thoughts, and they also do not know if they can do as "Bai Anyi" planned. , evacuated successfully.
Lou Ying didn't want Chi Xiaochi to suffer in these days of hiding in Tibet.
While joking, Chi Xiaochi walked out of the cabin, stepped on the muddy humus layer, paced back and forth, looking at the air, not knowing what he was looking at.
Lou Ying said: "Bai Anyi and I are both staring at it, and no one is chasing for the time being."
Selfishly, he still wanted Chi Xiaochi to sleep a little longer.
Chi Xiaochi replied, "Well, I'm very relieved when you guys do things."
This is perfunctory to hear.
Lou Ying couldn't help sighing: "What are you thinking?"
Chi Xiaochi's answer was not what he expected: "I'm thinking why there are power users."
After Lou Ying regained full networking ability, he has downloaded and read more than 30,000 SCI-level papers related to power users.
It has been five years since the birth of the first ability user, and speculations such as the virus theory and the infection theory have been put forward one by one, and they have been overthrown.
Now researchers from all over the world are still discussing the origin of the supernatural beings.
There is no clear theory in the academic world.
The conversation with "Bai Anyi" just now was still in his ears, Lou Ying wanted to poke Chi Xiaochi's forehead a little bit, and wished to give him two more distractions on himself: "Those professionals can't find the reason, can you?"
Chi Xiaochi said slowly, "Maybe I can."
Lou Ying was dumbfounded for a moment, then realized something: "Did you think of something?"
"Every time the ability is mobilized, the performance is the surge of A-type globulin, and the types of abilities that appear are also very strange."
Chi Xiaochi raised his hand in the air and gently touched the particles of dust that only he could see: "Do you remember Lu Qingshu?"
Lou Ying certainly remembered that it was the "catfish" who had a young daughter at home.
Chi Xiaochi asked again: "What is his ability, do you remember?"
Lou Ying: "He runs very fast."
Chi Xiaochi turned his head and asked "Bai Anyi" who was sitting on the roof: "In the superhero comic that Lu Qingshu's daughter likes the most, does the protagonist run very fast?"
This question, when "Bai Anyi" just came back, Chi Xiaochi asked him.
"Bai Anyi" is a computer memory. Although he has only turned a few pages, the occasional scene and lines he scans are enough for him to obtain some valuable information.
At first, even though he didn't know what Chi Xiaochi's purpose was, he still answered truthfully.
Now asked again, he answered without hesitation, "Yes."
Lou Ying thought for a while: "This can't be used as evidence."
"Yes." Chi Xiaochi said, "it really can't be used as evidence. People often think about which one they would choose if they could have a superpower or an ability. For example, students want to have the ability to see through cheating, politicians want to have The ability to see through everything, some people want to be invisible, some people want to fly, some people want to predict the future, some people want countless abilities for him to do evil and squander, some people want world peace, no more weapons... Ideas are not only diverse, but also change, so It's hard to fathom."
"But... Bai Anyi is a special case."
"He is in the academic field, and his ability is to control formulas, because he has no other areas of hobbies and expertise except academics. He likes stars and dinosaurs, and likes to explore unknown scientific fields, so his ability is like this. Special... And what's even more special is that he has another personality in his body, another kind of consciousness. After the evolution of supernatural powers, that personality also has his own body. This is very unusual."
Lou Ying's mind is very clear, and after a little bit of Chi Xiaochi, there is nothing he doesn't understand: "I know what you mean. You want to say that powers evolve naturally according to each person's own needs. But ... This is just a conjecture, what does it have to do with the origin of power? Is power idealistic?"
"No." Chi Xiaochi immediately rejected the idea, "If it is really ideal, those fanatical fans of power users who are humans should have fulfilled their wishes long ago."
Lou Ying pondered: "Do you think it was a special opportunity that caused some humans to randomly become power users?"
Chi Xiaochi: "Hmm."
"Water should not be a channel of transmission." Lou Ying said, "There are people with supernatural powers appearing all over the world, and their eating habits, water and food sources are completely different. When the number of supernormal people is not large, there are experts who make special observations. After taking samples of their diets every day, and then there are more people with supernormal abilities, and it is found that they cannot find the regularity, this kind of inspection becomes meaningless.”
Chi Xiaochi said, "Where's the air?"
Lou Ying said: "If the virus cannot be detected in the body of the superhuman, airborne transmission will not be established."
Chi Xiaochi's eyes turned slightly and looked at Lou Ying.
Under his gaze, Lou Ying suddenly said, "...You mean, it was something in the air that caused the mutation?"
"People eat different things and drink different water." Chi Xiaochi shrugged, "But don't they all breathe the air under the same sky."
"Indeed, someone made a similar conjecture." Lou Ying carefully screened the papers, "but after a sampling survey, no special substances were found in the air."
"That's their sample survey, it can only collect a few specific points." Chi Xiaochi said, "I'll take a 200 cubic meter first and see."
It rained last night, and the rain absorbed the particles in the air and fell into the soil. Now that the rain has stopped, there is a new fog, and some of the adsorbed particles are separated from the ground again, which is convenient for him to investigate.
Chi Xiaochi removed the particles in the air one by one and investigated them carefully.
Oxygen, hydrogen, helium, chlorine, inhalable particulate matter, and water are all classified by him and marked as such.
This is a habit formed under the influence of years of collecting addiction.
With the improvement of his abilities, his ability to control the air is also greatly enhanced, and it can even slow down the circulation of the air within the control range.
So, Chi Xiaochi directly solidified the 200 cubic meters of air in the mountain, patiently looking for even a little possibility.
He extracted all the known substances currently in the air of this world.
In the end, he actually caught a little foreign object.
In the clean air, only two small pale red particles remained, floating in the air and spinning together, like a dandelion with nowhere to go.
It has no name, and it does not belong to any of the known databases of this earth. It looks like a spore powder of some kind of plant, and the diameter of the particles is only 3 nanometers.
In 200 cubic meters of air, there are only these two particles of dust.
Chi Xiaochi put the two spore powders in his palm and fiddled gently: "What is this?"
Lou Ying made a simple analysis: "Single particles in living things are active and contain radioactive substances, but this kind of radioactive substances... also do not exist in the existing knowledge system of the earth."
Chi Xiaochi conjectured: "Outer space?"
"This possibility is not ruled out. But it is also possible that it is a new species on the earth." Lou Ying spoke more cautiously, "The number of such particles is very small, the density is not high, and they are very light and extremely mobile, and cannot be detected. It's normal. But how does this particle appear?"
Chi Xiaochi frowned, and gently teased the two particles with his fingertips.
Lou Ying asked, "What are you thinking about?"
"I'm thinking that the appearance of the ability user may not be an infection or a disease." Chi Xiaochi said amazingly, "Is it possible, it is inevitable in history... evolution?"
