Seeing the guy who was thrown away by him, John was shocked at first, and then looked at his hands in surprise.
"No, not the power in my hands, but in my mind..."
John looked surprised. He quickly looked at the other person, only to see the other person quickly get up and stare at him fiercely.
"How dare you overthrow me?"
The bearded man was cursing and seemed to be unabated. He didn't see clearly what John in front of him had done. He thought he was thrown away by the other party.
Seeing that the other party continued to charge forward, John took a deep breath and tried the power again. This time, it was much more familiar. He only felt that the power was like a gas, and as his thoughts moved from his mind It burst out and instantly turned into a huge thrust, pushing towards the opponent!
boom!
This time, the bearded man's face changed completely. He only saw that the other party did nothing, and he felt a pain in his chest. At the same time, his head buzzed, and he flew out again!
Click!
This time, he didn't have the same luck as the first time. He only heard a series of clicking sounds from his chest. Apparently, several of his ribs were broken!
“God…”
The crowd once again erupted in exclamations.
"What the hell!"
A flash of fear finally flashed in the bearded man's eyes. He covered his chest in fear, quickly climbed into his car, turned a corner and fled...
Seeing that there was no subsequent conflict between the two, the group of onlookers also left in surprise, leaving only John standing there stunned.
"That power just now..."
John came back to his senses. He slowly walked to his car and looked at his wide open door. Suddenly, he accidentally used the mysterious power in his mind again. So, in front of his helpless eyes, the car door closed automatically with a bang. .
"It's true! That power is real!"
Seeing this scene, John's eyes lit up completely...
…
In an alley near a middle school in the European District.
A thin boy with long red hair walked listlessly towards the school gate.
The boy was about fifteen or sixteen years old. His skin was a little pale due to not seeing the sun for a long time, and there were a few freckles on his face. He didn't look out of the ordinary.
He kept rubbing the back of his neck. In a place he couldn't see, a tiny red spot was slowly healing, and it seemed that it would disappear in just one more day.
The boy is also a survivor who has been infected by a consciousness stealer.
He was born thin. Six months ago, his parents contracted a terrible infectious disease. It was a nightmare afternoon. When he came home from school, he saw his parents fused together, as if they were one corpse. A melting wax figure.
This scene deeply shocked his soul. He ran away from home like crazy, but was eventually picked up by the army and sent to a mysterious concentration camp for a period of isolation.
Later, when the boy came back, he could only be adopted by his uncle and aunt. Now he is only sixteen years old, just over 1.6 meters tall, thin and with a depressed look.
The death of his parents was a huge blow to him, and his character became introverted and withdrawn.
At this time, the young man was walking quietly in the alley, but just as he was about to finish walking through the alley, two tall figures suddenly appeared at the entrance of the alley.
The two men blocked the alley with malicious smiles and walked towards him step by step.
The young man was suddenly startled. He hesitated for a moment with an ugly expression on his face, and then quickly turned around and went back the way he came. However, when he turned around, his feet were stopped again.
A taller, bloated fat man blocked his way back.
For a moment, surrounded by the three men, the young man had no choice but to stay where he was and wait quietly for the three men to come to him.
"Joy, why don't you run away?"
The bloated fat man came to him with ill intentions and pulled his long hair, "Poor Joey, did you bring any money today?"
"Please, I really don't have much money. I only brought my own breakfast money."
The boy named Joey reluctantly took out a few fragmented euros from his pocket and showed them to the three of them, "Look, this is all I have."
"What, why is it just that little?"
Seeing this, the bloated fat man's face suddenly changed, "Didn't I say yesterday that you have to bring me one hundred euros today, otherwise I will smash your nose!"
As he spoke, he roughly snatched the scattered banknotes from the young man's hand and looked at the other two people, "Search him to see if there is any money left!"
The two men immediately stepped forward to search the young man's body.
"enough!"
The young man couldn't bear it and pushed the two of them, "I told you, I have no money!"
However, before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt his eyes blur and at the same time there was a burning pain on his face!
Only then did he realize that the other party actually slapped him!
"Joy, how dare you push my man!"
The fat man said viciously, and at the same time, he grabbed his hair and punched him hard several times, knocking the young man directly to the ground.
The other two people saw the opportunity and stepped on the boy with their feet.
"Damn it!"
Joey only felt the immense pain from being stepped on on his face and body. He could only hold his head hard and silently endure the other party's ravages, but his heart was already filled with anger...
Why, why is my body so weak!
Why do they have to bully me!
Power, I want to gain power...
The anger in Joey's heart grew stronger and stronger. At the same time, he felt like something was stirring in his mind. As his anger grew stronger and stronger, the strange feeling became more and more flexible, just like in his head. There is an invisible little snake jumping around everywhere!
boom!
Finally, his mind suddenly shook, and the little snake-like thing was released directly. The next second, he only heard the screams of three people, and then the sound of everyone falling to the ground!
Joey slowly opened his eyes. He sat up and ignored his nosebleeds. He only saw that the three people who were beating him had fallen to the ground groaning. The fat man among them even spit out two pills. Front teeth, mouth full of blood.
"This is… "
Joey was suddenly stunned. He stared at the three people who fell to the ground, and then silently felt the inexplicable power in his mind. His originally panicked expression turned from sadness to joy.
"Superpower? Is this a superpower?"
As he said that, he looked at the euros he had scattered on the ground, and his mind flashed again. Those banknotes seemed to be pulled by invisible forces and flew back into his hands!
When the three teenagers saw this scene, their expressions were even more horrified, and they quickly got up and fled out of the alley.
"Hahahaha, power, I finally got the power!"
Joey laughed like crazy, and in the whole alley, only his high-pitched laughter was left...
…
This scene keeps happening all over the world, in North America, Europe, Central Asia, India...
In the past few days, nearly a hundred people around the world have suddenly discovered that they have gained a novel and incomparable power.
Some people were ecstatic, while others were terrified.
Some people began to show off their power arrogantly, while others carefully hid it and hunkered down silently.
Some people began to use this power to commit crimes, and some people thought it was a new disease and immediately went to the hospital for examination...
Everyone has their own unique way of coping with the various changes in life, and these changes have gradually attracted the attention of officials in their respective regions. Those who still show off after gaining superpowers are quickly invited to the police station. His personal freedom was even restricted and he was closely observed.
Although this matter may seem small, after the lessons learned from the consciousness stealers, all continents still attach great importance to it.
As the five major forces united to protect human civilization in secret, the Black Light Foundation also obtained this information immediately and fell into the eyes of the supervisors.
Half a month later, the Black Light Foundation Lilith meeting.
"Joy Richard, 16 years old, Linz, European District, junior high school this year, first discovered date, June 3, 2029..."
"John Oppenheimer, 29 years old, Plimpton City, North America, graduated from Salia University, date of first discovery: June 1, 2029... "
"Sanjay Sharma, 35 years old, Mumbai, India, no education, date of first discovery: June 8, 2029... "
"Zheng Chao, 21 years old, Chongzhou City, Zhongzhou District, Chongzhou University, date of first discovery: June 15, 2029..."
"Lomon Losov, 48 years old, Beihaizhou District..."
Looking at the documents in front of him, the figure No. 01 couldn't help but spread his hands, "There are fifty-three files in total. These are just the ones that have been discovered so far. As for the ones that have not yet been discovered, I don't know how many others..."
"Obviously, the abilities of this group of people emerged out of nowhere."
04 also said in a deep voice, "As for the most critical clue, everyone should already know it. This group of people... they are all survivors after the disaster of the consciousness stealer. In other words, they are all infected with the consciousness virus. People who are recovering later.”
"Obviously, this group of people has gained some kind of weird spiritual power..."
03 added, "If you guessed correctly, this power is very similar to the power of the consciousness stealer. If we follow the causal relationship, it should be said to have the same origin."
02 remained silent.
Chen Chen touched the 05 sign in front of him and nodded, "I understand. Four to five months after these people recover, they seem to have gained the power that only consciousness stealers have. But you don't have to worry too much. For now, See, there's no sign of their disease getting worse, so maybe this isn't a sign that the mindstealers are back."
"I hope..."
01 sighed, "Our Earth Federation can no longer withstand another impact."
"But we still need to be vigilant."
04 Cautiously reminded, "I think that this group of people should try their best to take good care of them, and at the same time monitor the millions of survivors to see whether everyone has this strange power that is gradually emerging, or only a few people will obtain it. , but also to prevent the consciousness stealers from coming back.”
"It must be an exception!"
02 replied, "Otherwise it wouldn't have appeared now. I think this may be a side effect of them being infected with the consciousness virus. What do you think, 05?"
Everyone couldn't help but look at Chen Chen.
"This needs to be studied."
Chen Chen spread his hands and said, "Don't look at me like this. I know you think this power is somewhat similar to mine, but I can solemnly tell you that my power is completely different from the power of this group of people. What they obtained is The ability that only a complete consciousness stealer has..."
Everyone couldn't help but fell into deep thought after hearing this.
"We at Blacklight Technology will continue to follow up on this matter."
Chen Chen continued, with a hint of confusion in his voice, "You can also try it. Maybe we can find out the secrets here?"
After hearing Chen Chen's words, everyone present's eyes suddenly lit up.
They had already seen Chen Chen's superpowers during that time at the Earth Federation headquarters. They even had a video recording the scene of Chen Chen fighting with the escaped consciousness stealer. That scene shocked countless people and shocked the four continents. Districts have fallen into a sense of crisis.
It turns out that there really is such a thing as superpower in this world...
But now, those survivors who had been infected with the consciousness fusion virus actually gained similar powers. Suddenly, under Chen Chen's prompting, this group of people began to stir up their hearts.
…
After Lilith's meeting, Chen Chen sat alone in his seat. The lights were turned off, and an inexplicable smile appeared on Chen Chen's lips in the shadows.
There is of course a reason why he does this.
Compound L needs an orthodox origin, because in the future, this medicine must be able to see the light and not be a contraband.
However, how to explain the existence of potions
Chen Chen thought of many ways, but no matter what method, countries and continents cannot let it be scattered on ordinary people. On the contrary, what they have to do is probably to control this potion as soon as possible and prevent it from spreading. go out.
At the same time, they will stop Chen Chen from spreading at all costs.
Therefore, the best way is to disguise it first and disguise it all as a side effect of being infected with the consciousness virus. This means that each continent cannot control who has gained superpowers.
Then, after a few months, Chen Chen was able to take out Compound L and claim that Blacklight Technology had extracted this magical potion from the blood of these superpowers and could produce superpowers in batches.
With this move, Chen Chen could immediately take all the initiative.
Even if the four continents are greedy, they will try to extract the blood of superpowers, but it will always be in vain.
They will only think that their biotechnology is not enough.
At that time, in order to curb the emergence of more and more superpowers in society, they must purchase No. L compound from Chen Chen at a high price and use it on the police and the army. In this way, without Chen Chen's promotion, the sales of No. L compound will be reduced. Not a problem anymore.
Moreover, the emergence of more and more superpowers will begin to change the human civilization system, instead of being controlled in the hands of a few people and making it difficult to promote changes in the level of civilization.
This is Chen Chen's first plan.
