"A special human being?" Jing Shuo and others were not very understanding.
No matter how special it is, how special can it be?
But maybe... the other person may not be a normal person, but a qualified person.
"Yes, a particularly qualified person." Wen Yan said.
"Remember that passage? I sit on the lotus platform and see the Tathagata." Wen Yan reminded.
"Of course I remember."
"Uncle Nan kept it!" Youyou spoke.
"Now, Tathagata is here."
"..."
"You mean, Uncle Nan is going to live?" His eyes widened again.
Her words make people a little confused. If Tathagata comes, will Uncle Nan be alive?
"Listen to me." Wen Yan stretched out his finger and placed his green-white hand on Youyou's head, making Youyou, who had stood up due to emotion, sit back down again.
"I can't completely see through this Ru. Half of him is in the fog, and the other half also seems erratic." Wen Yan described the appearance of "Ru" that she saw with her qualified ability.
"I can't see through it in the fog. I don't know the specific reason yet, but as I can't see through more and more things, I guess it may be that his qualified ability level is higher than mine. Then I will say it first. Tell me what I saw."
"He himself is a normal person, a normal person of flesh and blood. His life trajectory should have been calm. He believes in the illusory Buddha hidden in history, and is determined to be on this earth. , there is a paradise where doomsday beasts cannot invade."
Buddha?
Zhang Cishun was stunned for a moment when he heard this word. It was the first time since he came to this world that he heard such a kind of faith that made him feel warm.
"He longed to go to the paradise he called the Spiritual Mountain, and began to preach in the city, hoping that more like-minded people would join him. The beginning of the mission was very easy, because there are many unbelievers in this world, so it is necessary to use When a clear faith is placed in front of everyone, they will choose to give their faith with the mentality of giving it a try.
Later, as the faith team grew, the desire in Ru's heart became more and more surging, and he felt that with the Their large number of believers was enough to attract the attention of the Buddha. Now, they were only one step away from entering the Spiritual Mountain. When this idea arose, he became more and more unable to hold back. Finally, at an upcoming gathering
, He put forward his own initiative. He wants... all the believers to follow him, leave the city and go to Lingshan!"
Wen Yan's words outline the appearance of a believer. Although there is no clear description in words, Zhang Cishun can still describe it in his own words. The image of a crazy cultist was sketched in his mind. The cassock draped on his body showed no trace of compassion, but instead reflected his increasing madness.
“He thought that although his proposal would not be approved by everyone, there would definitely be people who were willing to believe in him and follow him. But what he didn’t expect was that people’s fear of the wilderness had overridden their beliefs. . When he launched the proposal, none of the believers he developed chose to follow him out of the city!" "
Everyone thought he was crazy. So, everyone initiated a vote at this moment. They... chose to abandon Such as, and claimed that he betrayed the Buddha."
"The price of betrayal is to be executed."
"He was tied up, and the execution time was set at noon the next day. As for why he was not executed on the spot, because they needed to Apply for the numbered city."
Hearing this, Zhang Cishun unknowingly lifted his fingers together and touched them again: "Apply for what? Apply for Ru's death penalty?"
This made Zhang Cishun feel confused. According to He understood that the post-apocalyptic laws had completely abolished the death penalty, and the highest level of punishment was simply to drive people into the wilderness to fend for themselves.
But if they weren't applying for the death penalty, what were they applying for?
But fortunately, his question was quickly answered by Wen Yan.
"Yes, apply for Ru's death penalty." Wen Yan nodded and said, "Buddha's faith has not been what he expected since Ru decided to spread it in the city. People who come into contact with the faith, except those at the bottom Outside the people, there are occasional sporadic officials who choose to contribute their own beliefs. The death penalty has been abolished, but they have enough ability and strength to promote it in secret." "They don't need executions to be widely spread, in
their It is expected that this should be a baptism of internal faith. And new communicators will be born on Ru's corpse." "..." Wen Yan
's
narration was like listening to a story fragment from a novel, Especially when she said that new communicators would be born in Ru's body.
"But even with this day difference, Ru was not sentenced to death in the end." Wen Yan continued: "He ran away." "
He knew that there was no place for him in the numbered city where he was. So, he just He can take risks and choose to walk into the wilderness by himself."
"The change started when he took the first step out of the numbered city."
Wen Yan's eyes gradually lost focus, and she seemed to be immersed in what she saw with her qualified ability. to the screen.
"When he walked into the wilderness in the night, his body changed." "His body,
originally made of flesh and blood, began to wither. Then, the steel began to grow, and it grew at an extremely fast rate. Speed replaced his organs."
"In just this step, he went from being a complete human to an inhuman existence."
"The ability of a qualified person." Zhang Cishun murmured, such a qualified person The scene of his ability awakening is really full of irony, but this irony does not affect his sense of sanctity at all.
For such a moment, Zhang Cishun really felt that maybe the Buddha's eyes had fallen on Ru.
"Yes, he awakened the qualified person's ability." Wen Yan nodded: "However, at that time, he did not know what the qualified person's ability was, so he attributed all his changes to the power of the Buddha. This is even more important This strengthened his idea of looking for Lingshan.
At that moment, he believed that he was right, otherwise how could the Buddha's power be added to him." "
He turned himself into a pilgrim, and this is his story ." After Wen Yan finished speaking, he sighed leisurely.
"It doesn't sound like he's a bad guy." At this time, Jing Shuo, who had been silent, said, "Then why are those people who ascended technology looking for him?" "Catch him or kill him." Wen
Yan said.
"Why?"
"Because of his ability." Wen Yan said.
"What ability?"
"I don't know, because I can't see clearly about this. But I can see the traces of his walking." Wen Yan said: "He almost measured the middle section of the north and south borders with his own feet. area, and all the places he passed through were left in a mess."
"The ability is uncontrollable? Or is he actively using his own ability to cause destruction?" Zhang Cishun asked, "On the path he traveled Is there a numbered city?"
"I don't know if his ability is out of control or if he is actively using his ability to release himself, but what is certain is that his route avoids the numbered city. For this reason, he even goes around in circles."
"It seems like he is actively using his abilities." Zhang Cishun nodded.
The biggest difference between qualified people and fusion people is that fusion people don't have the ability to grow, but qualified people do. The awakening of each qualified person's abilities requires a process from weak to strong.
Jing Shuo is like this, and Wen Yan is like this too. Although it seems that the abilities of the two of them have not changed much, Jing Shuo has actually been relying on his abilities to survive in the lower city of City No. 88 since he was young. His abilities It has been making rapid progress.
At first I saw the colors of people, but later I understood the meaning behind each color. See through the background color and see the floating color. The color in each person's eyes is unique. He should have continued to grow like this. Until... Wen Yan made the potion. The potion that accelerates the fusion's core ability.
Does it only work for fusions? the answer is negative. As the person who created it, Wen Yan has an unparalleled say.
Therefore, Jing Shuo took it.
A bottle of potion was absorbed and digested by him, which promoted his ability to begin to increase at a terrifying speed in a very short period of time. As a result, he gained enough power to check Jing Yan.
Emotional manipulation.
From seeing, to understanding, to controlling.
Of course, Jing Yan, who also has qualified abilities, is different. She was born to evolve abilities. She has many, many brothers and sisters, but those who are as lucky as her are still in the minority. And those lucky ones were destroyed in the INN debugging window.
Look at Wen Yan again. Are her abilities improving?
There should be, but the time was too short, and it was not enough time for her abilities to be greatly improved during this period.
"He is exercising his abilities."
Zhang Cishun said: "Describe what the ruins he left behind look like." "
Where he walked, the steel twisted and tore. Only metal residue remained. Remove Apart from that, there are no other effects."
"So his ability is for metal." Zhang Cishun said: "But it is also consistent with his situation. After all, he himself has become a robot." "Is it manipulation, or
... ..." Zhang Cishun suddenly remembered a character, but on second thought, it was unlikely that he had the same ability as that character.
"It's most likely to be manipulation, Wanci... it's unlikely in any case." Because his qualified ability was turned on, Wen Yan knew what Zhang Cishun wanted to say in just a moment. What was the second half of the sentence that was left unsaid.
"Wait a minute, aren't we supposed to be discussing the Ascension Technology Special Operations Team?" He endured it again and again, and finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"We are talking about them, but when talking about them, we can't avoid Ru."

In the wilderness.
A determined middle-aged man walked slowly forward through vicissitudes of life. Every time he took a step, he would stop and murmur something in his mouth before continuing to move forward.
The wind in the north is already very cold, especially as it approaches night. The wind at this time is the worst, sometimes hot and sometimes cold. This was the result of the entangled cold and warm air currents, but he seemed not to feel the painful climate change. He walked firmly, and the distance of each step was as precise as if he had measured it with a ruler.
Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew from the north, blowing off his hood.
The loose hood fell down, and the metal that had been polished by the wind and sand and was no longer smooth was immediately revealed.
robot!
But not quite a robot.
His exposed skin can only occasionally see the appearance of metal, and most of the other parts are normal flesh. But the head exposed when the hood was lifted by the wind was different.
He has no hair, and the metal that is exactly the same as his skull has replaced his skull, and even the skull seams have been carefully simulated.
The human skull is made up of multiple bones that are connected together by sutures to form a complete skull. They connect the individual bones together to form a strong skull, allowing the skull to remain intact and stable when withstanding various forces.
But the seams in Ru's skull have been completely simulated by metal, and... you can even see the sand blown by the wind stopping in the seams.
"Lord Namo Ada Buddha." Ru
seemed to sigh, and after muttering something in his mouth, he shook his head vigorously, then stretched out his hand and put the hood back up.
Just when he hid his head under his hood, his eyes suddenly flashed red.
The light shone from under his eyes. It was as if...a flashlight that could shine a red light shone on a thin piece of flesh.
Hazy, shadowy.
Ru narrowed his eyes, but seemed to feel that it was still not very realistic, so he raised his hand and inserted his fingers into his eyes. With the click of his fingers, a hemispherical artificial eyeball was pulled out of its socket.
The artificial eyeball was made of something unknown, and when he held it in his hand, it was still buckling and trembling.
The eye sockets are no longer blocked by the artificial eyeballs, and the most realistic appearance underneath them is completely revealed.
A...
prosthetic eye.
Prosthetic eyes that glow red.
His gaze seemed to have traveled dozens of kilometers, and he accurately landed on the slowly moving garbage truck.
"Lord Namo Atuo Buddha!" A smile appeared on his face. After chanting one sentence, he clasped his hands together!
The huge force field instantly spread out around his body.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the garbage truck was enveloped in a force field.
Click -
the sad cry of broken steel.
But what follows is the joy of new life.
The garbage truck...comes to life.
If Zhang Cishun stood here, he would definitely say out loud - Transformers!
"See Ru."
Hum Xi's voice was unusually dull. Before Garbage Truck could fully feel the joy of his new life, he had to kneel down halfway and face Ru's direction.
"Where is the nearest city? I need supplies." Ru said. Even though he was far away from the activated garbage truck, the sound still reached the latter's ears accurately.
"City 114 is the closest. From..." (End of this chapter)
