Under One Person: I Opened the Age of Mythology

Chapter 48 I Killed Someone in My Dream

Just as Meng Qi said, she is a congenitally gifted person, born in Guangdong, and is twenty-six years old this year.

About fourteen years ago, when she was twelve years old, her supernatural powers suddenly awakened after she fell asleep one night, and her life changed forever.

That night, Meng Qi was dragged into a strange dream where everything was distorted. Deafening noises rang in her ears, mixed with soft whispers.

She couldn't see the colors or the scene clearly. She only felt that the world was spinning and there was chaos in front of her. When she shrank back, two terrifying figures appeared in front of her.

"At the time, I didn't know who or what they were. I only knew that when they appeared, all the sounds, colors, and perceptions started to become 'crazy' and kept spinning. I was terrified..."

"They reached out their hands towards me, and I instinctively wanted to resist. I lost consciousness in that instant, and when I woke up again, the whole dream became fragmented, and my body was covered with scars."

Having said this, Meng Qi lowered his head and his eyelids began to twitch slightly, as if he was recalling something extremely sad, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

When Xia Ye saw this, he immediately stretched out his hand towards her, and gently pressed his not-so-big palm on her shoulder, and a feeling of warmth flowed out.

moment……

"Thank you, I'm feeling much better."

Soothed by this warmth, Meng Qi thanked him softly, then adjusted her mood and began to narrate again:

"I thought everything was over, but when I woke up from the dream, I found that everything around me was blood red. I still remember the pungent smell of blood. My parents..."

"Okay, let's skip this part and talk about Liao Zhong."

There was no need for her to continue, Xia Ye had already understood the general idea, so he considerately chose to skip it to prevent her emotions from fluctuating again.

"it is good……"

Meng Qi nodded, her eyes flickered for a moment, and after pondering for a moment, she continued:
"Later, I was taken to the police station because of this incident. The police comforted me for a long time, and since I had no other relatives at home, they discussed sending me to an orphanage."

"It was at this time that Uncle Liao showed up. He took me away from the police station and brought me back to..."

She glanced at Xia Ye, a little hesitant.

"It's okay. Don't say what you can't say."

Xia Ye knew that Liao Zhong had brought her back to the "bunker" and that it was one of the company's secrets, so she reminded him softly.

"Ah."

"I was taken to a company that specializes in dealing with 'problematic mutants'. The people who were detained and trained there were all those who could not control their own powers and might accidentally cause harm to society."

“It was there that I realized what my ability really was—I could invade other people’s dreams, and the harm I caused to them in their dreams would also affect reality.”

"I see……"

Xia Ye was naturally well aware of Meng Qi's abilities, and at this moment he was just pretending and nodded.

This is also a big problem with innate mutants. Their awakening time and abilities are uncertain. If one day they suddenly awaken a powerful ability that they cannot control, it can easily lead to tragedy. "So, you have been receiving training there since then?"

"That's right, that place is managed by Uncle Liao. He often appears there. And because my ability is very special, he pays more attention to it and comes to talk to me from time to time..." Meng Qi continued.

"Later, with their help, I gradually gained control of my abilities, but I was never able to leave like the others. Uncle Liao said I was too young and had no family, so he let me stay there."

"Well, this is a common practice in the company. Actually, it's because your abilities are too strong and beyond the control of the company. In order to make it easier to supervise you, they didn't let you go." Xia Ye narrowed his eyes.

"Yes, I only understood this later. At that time, I didn't really have much choice. It wasn't until I was seventeen or eighteen years old and had become very proficient in the use of my abilities that Uncle Liao suggested that I be his temporary worker." Meng Qi nodded.

At this point, Xia Ye waved his hand to stop him. He already understood almost everything, so he took over the conversation:
"After that, you have been using your abilities to perform temporary tasks. Since your abilities are so useful, you go on missions quite frequently, right?"

"How do you know?" Meng Qi asked puzzledly.

"It's very simple..." Xia Ye smiled slightly.

"According to my observation, the power in your body that is constantly corroding you should be what you brought back from those dreams. Just like you can kill people in your dreams, you can also be injured in your dreams."

Seeing Meng Qi's surprise, he continued, "Of course, your ability will definitely suppress this kind of damage, but you can't be completely immune to it. Over time, it has accumulated over and over again, and it has become what it is now."

"If I'm not mistaken, you should have asked Liao Zhong for treatment a long time ago, and he did help you find doctors, even those senior national players, but each time it only alleviated the symptoms and was not able to cure them, right?"

"I won't make any malicious assumptions about this. After all, you know Liao Zhong and the company better than I do. You will have your own answer... But I still want you to touch the thing on your neck. Is that thing... something a person should wear?"

"This……"

Hearing this, Meng Qi subconsciously raised her hand. When her fingers touched the collar around her neck, her pupils couldn't help but shrink.

To be honest, it was not that she didn't understand what Xia Ye meant. She had often had this thought over the years, but she deliberately controlled herself from thinking in that direction. After all, Uncle Liao was really good to her.

"I don't have much contact with Liao Zhong, but I know he is a nice guy, even a 'good guy'. It's a pity... he is affiliated with the company, and he can't do many things according to his own heart." At this time, Xia Ye spoke again.

"Don't get me wrong. I just said more out of my responsibility as a doctor to my patients. You've seen the sign on my door. A doctor's heart is full of compassion..."

With that said, he stood up.

"Okay, I pretty much understand your situation. Lie down and we'll start treatment right away."

When she heard that the treatment was about to begin, Meng Qi immediately withdrew her thoughts, and quickly lay down, her eyes tightening.

"Don't be nervous. Take this pill and have a good sleep. Everything will be fine when you wake up..."

Immediately afterwards, Xia Ye took out a pill and fed it to him.

"It's okay, just relax and sleep..."
