The Growth of a God

Chapter 50: The Ancient God's Possession

As Mengyao tells the story bit by bit, some of the mysteries about the real world are unveiled.

First of all, it is certain that there have been many humans like Li Hao and Meng Yao who have been targeted by the will of the ancient gods because of their own abnormalities since ancient times.

But in most cases, no one realizes the value of this supernatural phenomenon.

It was not until the 749s and s, with the establishment of Bureau , that the government began to formally intervene and study this supernatural phenomenon that is completely beyond human understanding.

The ultimate goal of establishing Bureau 749 is to thoroughly analyze and understand this type of supernatural phenomenon and make supernatural phenomena a kind of natural phenomenon.

Study, understand, learn, and surpass...

According to the woman Mengyao met last night, humans will one day pull those so-called "ancient gods" off the altar.

Let’s not discuss whether this arrogant idea is possible to achieve.

In terms of results alone, Bureau 749 has indeed produced many results.

For example, the special energy magnetic field generated by Mengyao when she was excited was successfully monitored by Bureau 749.

Although it may be suspected of being hindsight, within the 749th Bureau, individuals like Meng Yao who have awakened abnormal abilities are collectively referred to as "possessors."

The "possessor" cannot be discovered in advance, and their identity can only be determined based on some clues afterwards.

As for why Bureau 749 calls these special individuals “possessors”?
This is because no matter before or after awakening, they are likely to attract the spying of the ancient gods' will.

In the ancient times when humans were first born, such people were often called witches, prophets, or shamans.

......................................................................................................

"How does the 749th Bureau tell that these 'possessors' are still human beings, rather than people possessed by the will of the ancient gods?"

Li Hao keenly grasped the crux of the problem and asked with some curiosity.

However, facing Li Hao's question, Meng Yao's expression became even weirder.

"Bureau 749 is unable to identify the identity of the 'possessor'..."

Ignoring Li Hao's surprised expression, Meng Yao lowered her head and continued to explain.

"The 749th Bureau can only determine whether we are the 'possessor', but cannot tell whether it is you or the ancient god who is using this body now."

"Well, at least that's what the woman said..."

After a brief pause, Mengyao suddenly lowered her voice and spoke.

"Of course, the above is just what that woman said. I doubt they can actually tell who the real 'Possessor' is."

"Because a person's habits and personality are difficult to change in a short period of time..."

"So as long as we collect enough data for comparison, it will be easy to tell whether the person currently using this body is the real person."

This was actually a fact that Mengyao suddenly realized after being reminded by the woman.

But the question is, does it make sense to make such a distinction?

As long as the ancient gods are willing to pretend to be humans and cooperate with the research of Bureau 749, they will not care who is using this body now.

After all, the "possessors" driven by the will of the ancient gods are much more valuable than those "possessors" who know nothing.

Besides, she didn’t know if Mengyao was overthinking it, but she always felt that the woman who appeared in front of her last night was hinting at something to her intentionally or unintentionally.

It was as if...she was looking for her own kind.

"What's that woman's name?"

Squinting his eyes slightly, Li Hao also realized the problem.

As a secret organization hidden in the dark, why would that woman say so much to a newcomer who has not yet decided whether to join Bureau 749?
"She didn't tell me her real name."

"According to her, Bureau 749 usually uses code names when carrying out missions, and her code name is 'Taotie'."

At this point, Meng Yao added a little awkwardly, "In order to facilitate calling and communication, she also gave me a code name, called 'Xing Tian'."

Hearing Mengyao say this, Li Hao immediately raised his eyebrows.

Because he remembered Meng Yao's ability and the second race labeled "corpses".

"It seems that this code name is not randomly chosen."

Hearing Li Hao's whisper, Meng Yao obviously misunderstood something.

"Don't let your imagination run wild. She just gave me this code name temporarily based on my abilities..."

"Once I officially join Bureau 749, I will definitely change this code name."

The image of the ancient god of war Xingtian, with "nipples as eyes and navel as mouth", was obviously a little too advanced for a little girl like Mengyao.

"..."

Glancing at Mengyao in silence, Li Hao felt that this code name was quite suitable for her image.

The head is missing, and the body is still a corpse...

The woman Mengyao mentioned obviously knew more than Mengyao did. Even her code name was actually hinting at the abilities she possessed.

Unfortunately, Mengyao obviously cannot understand this now.

But if you think about it carefully, it’s actually not surprising.

After all, Mengyao is just a girl who is not even eighteen years old, and the time she has been exposed to supernatural phenomena is less than two days in total.

If she acted too familiar, she might be regarded by Bureau 749 as a "possessor" who was reborn through the ancient god's body.

"Are those security guards on duty at the school gate from Bureau 749?"

Without dwelling too much on this issue, Li Hao looked out the window again and changed the subject.

"Well, they were sent to protect me."

"After all, my family situation is complicated, and that woman is worried about letting me stay in school alone."

What Mengyao didn’t say was that if she hadn’t insisted on coming to school, Li Hao probably wouldn’t have been able to see her today.

"By the way, I'm going to transfer to another school starting tomorrow."

"That woman helped me get a scholarship for outstanding students from the University of Washington. I don't have to worry about tuition anymore."

At this point, an indescribable complex expression appeared on Mengyao's face.

She originally thought that after her grandmother died, she would drop out of school and return to the countryside.

As a result, the appearance of Li Hao brought her life to another turning point, a new path she had never thought of.

"Washington?"

“That’s one of the top universities in the country.”

Li Hao was also somewhat surprised at the power of the 749th Bureau and couldn't help but smack his lips.

"In other words, you have been admitted to Washington University in advance?"

Nodding in agreement with Li Hao's statement, Meng Yao had never thought that one day she would be able to be admitted directly without taking an entrance exam, and to a top-notch university like the University of Washington.

"Li Hao, have you ever considered applying to a Washington University in the college entrance examination?"

However, the follow-up reading is a bit slow, and this week is the key week to determine the fourth round and Sanjiang, so I will continue to add another week for the next week!
Please give more support, big guys!
