The first person Chen Xiao saw was a woman wearing a black leather jacket. She had long hair, a soft facial contour, and friendly eyes. She looked to be in her thirties.
"how are you feeling?"
"It's okay." Chen Xiao's answer was calm. She was not worried that he would panic or become hysterical when he woke up, as the woman expected - which made the woman relieved.
And then, Chen Xiao actually smiled, and his tone was a little weird: "Do you all like to dress like this?"
As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed at the woman's clothes.
Chen Xiao recognized this woman's voice—she was Hei San, the "Three" who called him and sent Yaya to his home.
This is not a ward, but a huge, empty house. Chen Xiao was lying on the bed in the middle.
"I know you have a lot of questions now, but I think I can answer you as best I can." Heisan's tone was very gentle: "You are safe now, kid."
Chen Xiao looked at this woman and just smiled faintly: "I don't like people to call me 'child'. My parents never call me that..."
Hei San smiled and stared at Chen Xiao: "I know you were born on May 5th, and your parents gave you a nickname, Xiao Wu."
Chen Xiao shook his head: "I don't care what you call me... What I want now is simple - the answer."
"You seem to be a little hostile to me. But I think you may have misunderstood. I, and the woman who attacked you in your home, we all belong to the same organization. But we are the same as the research institution where your parents were alive. It doesn’t matter—and the woman who attacked you is my colleague, she just had some misunderstandings.”
Heisan's expression was a little awkward, and she sighed, with more pity in her eyes - such a look made Chen Xiao feel uncomfortable.
But soon, Chen Xiao heard another voice.
A pleasant man's voice, the voice is very gentle and pleasant, but the tone seems to have a little bit of indifference in his bones.
Then he saw a face, a thin face, blue eyes, brown hair, and a blue suit. The first impression this person gave Chen Xiao was: clean!
There seemed to be no trace of dust on his body, and he was very fresh. Even the sharp white handkerchief corner exposed from the breast pocket of his suit was meticulous.
And he smiled very calmly - even though his blue eyes were still cold.
"Mr. Chen Xiao, I guarantee that within the next half hour, most of your questions will be answered." This man seemed to suddenly appear at Chen Xiao's bedside out of thin air, looking at him condescendingly: "First of all, I Let me introduce you, my name is Black-Jack. Of course, I have a Chinese name, Leihu."
The man smiled and said: "Actually, I really don't want to meet others on such occasions... because I am mainly responsible for dealing with some troubles. Once it is my turn to appear, it means there is trouble - I am the least likely person. What I like is 'trouble'."
He seemed to be sighing, but there was a smile in the corner of his eyes: "The trouble you brought me this time is really not small. Not only did you let one of my men violate the regulations for you, but you also almost destroyed one of my men. Outstanding general…”
Black-Jack? What a weird name. Does this guy run a casino
However, after this person appeared, Hei San took two steps back in fear and stood aside honestly. That gesture was like a subordinate meeting a superior.
"We... I mean me, Hei San, and Hong Qi, who saved you from the robbers yesterday... Of course, we also have to add the Hei Qi who broke into Li's house. Yes, you heard it right, Her name is Hei Qi. We all belong to the same organization... Well, you can understand that we are all employees of the same company." This guy named Lei Hu smiles very nicely, with a very deceptive smile. His affinity, especially his smile, seemed to be sincere with a hint of shyness - but Chen Xiao could see the coldness in his eyes at a glance.
"You don't need to know the name of our organization for the time being. Generally speaking, our company does not exist in the world under the sun. Or according to your understanding, we can be considered a special institution. We have our own beliefs. , has its own philosophy - of course, it also has its own business scope." Leihu smiled shyly, and his clean face seemed to be a little shy: "After all, a company with so many people always has to make money."
"The beginning of this matter originated from Hei San." Lei Hu glanced at Hei San who was standing aside, as quiet as ice, and smiled faintly: "She accepted a commission from your parents, and it was without permission. Company permission.”
Hei San's body trembled visibly.
"She and your mother were alumni. She graduated from MIT with a PhD in bioengineering. It starts with your parents. They were very unlucky. They published an excellent paper more than ten years ago and were accepted by a family. The company took a fancy to it, and was then absorbed into that company's affiliated research institution. I think that institution was researching something, and you should have gotten the answer from the diary left by your mother." Lei Hu's voice was very light: "What I can tell you is that the research field of that company is somewhat similar to our organization. However, our concepts are very different from theirs. And... it can be said that we are much more advanced than them. Their research is still at a relatively primitive level in some places.”
"Is it... about blue-blooded people? Or those strange... 'powers'?" Chen Xiao asked.
"That's all." Lei Hu pondered for a moment, then suddenly took out the white handkerchief from his breast pocket, wiped the corners of his mouth gently, and smiled gently: "Actually, you and I, all of us, are human beings. But in a sense, we have gone beyond the ordinary definition of normal human beings. Or to use an accurate definition: we are a minority group, but we are very lucky, and also very unfortunate, to be at the forefront of human evolution. the forefront.”
Lei Hu looked at Chen Xiao: "Evolution, do you understand?"
Chen Xiao nodded.
Leihu continued to smile and said: "You should have a good foundation of common sense. After all, your parents are experts in this field. Traditionally speaking, the basic arrangement of the human body is cells. The fission of cells and the arrangement of cells are related. Fixed pattern. And if these change, then... some interesting things will happen." Lei Hu's tone was very relaxed, and he even winked at Chen Xiao: "Have you ever seen dominoes? Once one of them is knocked down, it will fall. There will be a chain reaction."
"Yeah." Chen Xiao listened carefully.
"In fact, human evolution has never stopped, but it has fallen into an awkward stagnation period. This stagnation period is a bit long, and there are also some different opinions about the direction of evolution... Well, it can be said that Fork in the road. Such subtle differences have created such a strange group of people like us, and also allowed us people to gain some interesting powers. As you can see, the blue-blooded lady next to you is more sensitive to electricity. , and the woman who injured you, one of my generals who has been destroyed by you now, has the ability to control the air."
"But you are still human." Chen Xiao added coldly.
"Yes! This is exactly the philosophy of our organization. We are human beings." When Lei Hu said this, his expression was extremely serious: "Our company has existed for a long time, from two and a half centuries It has existed before. We are a group at the forefront of the evolution of all mankind, but we do not feel that we are superior to all mankind because of this. The establishment of this organization was two hundred and fifty years ago , there once was a name called 'Service Society'."
As he said that, Lei Hu looked into Chen Xiao's eyes: "It's a very interesting name, isn't it?"
"It's very interesting." Chen Xiao replied with a straight face.
"Service Club, as you can see from the name, this organization was established to bring together similar people like us, so that we can help each other and rely on each other. You also know that the commonality of most human beings is to face some unknown new life There is always some inexplicable sense of fear when it comes to affairs. You Chinese people have a saying that 'the trees that are beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind', right?"
Chen Xiao nodded: "Your Chinese is very good."
"Thank you." Lei Hu sighed: "In history, people like us are often hostile to the entire society, because the strength of an individual will always cause panic or... hatred from other humans, like us Such people can easily be regarded as aliens by society and be hated or feared. Therefore, we have to find as many companions as possible, and then we can all unite and rely on each other - and then preserve ourselves as much as possible." As he spoke, Lei Hu's tone became serious: "But it must be said that we still regard ourselves as human beings, and we also hope that others will regard us as human beings! Not monsters."
Chen Xiao moved and changed his posture. He felt a faint affection for this thunder fox in his heart.
"We are just a group of people who have involuntarily been at the forefront of evolution, or a group of lucky people. But we don't want to change anything, and we don't want to control anything." Lei Hu sighed: "So, our organization also That comes with a lot of responsibility.”
"Why?" Chen Xiao frowned.
"I just said that we are a group of lucky people, but at the same time... we are not the only lucky ones. Moreover, we are not the only 'organization' in this world." Lei Hu winked at Chen Xiao.
Soon, Chen Xiao understood what he said.
As Lei Hu said, these people are at the forefront of human evolution and have acquired some abilities that are beyond ordinary people - then, such a group of people must exist, and there must be many of them. Some people with special abilities may have joined this organization and been restricted by it.
However, what is certain is that there must be some unknown superpowers in this world - there are always some people who, when they find that they can stand on top of the vast majority of people in this world, can ignore laws, morals and rules - in It is not difficult to imagine what would happen in such a situation.
