Awakening Day Collection

Chapter 46 Bloodline (3)
"My name is Wang Lu, this is brother Fan Liangyu, this is brother Lu Hanyi, and this is brother Liang Ye." Wang Lu answered quickly.

"Well, if you tell me this is Tom, this is Jerry, and this is Crayon Shin-Chan, it won't make any difference." Feng Si shrugged.

"We are the group of people who are called 'pests' by the demon servants," Lu Hanyi said. "As for ourselves, due to our different ideas, we give ourselves completely different titles. For example, some people call themselves 'resistors', Some people call themselves 'protectors' or something, in contrast, a more neutral and easy-to-accept appellation is 'guardian', but I think it's better to just call them pests."

"From the conversation with the Demon Servant just now, it can be inferred that the four of you belong to the four families in the 'Pests', that is, the people who have known the existence of the Demon King since ancient times and are committed to fighting against it, right?" Feng Si asked, "Then do you know what the devil is like?"

Lu Hanyi's answer was within his expectations: "No one has ever seen a devil king. In all the wars that happened in history, we rarely even had the chance to see devil servants. Most of the time we just fought with slaves. , that is, those monsters fighting that you saw earlier."

"I've been sealed in a cocoon, how do you know I saw a monster?"

"If you don't even have the ability to see monsters through the eyes of a demon servant, then you are not worthy of being the chosen one."

"Actually, until now, I haven't seen what I am worthy of being the chosen one..." Feng Si muttered.

"I have nothing to do here, I'll go first." Fan Liangyu said lightly.When he turned around, he thought for a while, and suddenly reached out and pointed at Feng Si. Feng Si fell to the ground with a "plop", his expression changed in pain.

"It's still such a waste, nothing has changed?" Fan Liangyu was a little confused, "What happened just now?"

"This is treating me like a sandbag..." Feng Si didn't know whether to laugh or cry, watching the deformed figure with two heads gradually disappear.Wang Lu hesitated for a moment, and then left, leaving only Lu Hanyi and Liang Ye behind.

"We have been trying to find out the origin and hiding place of the devil, and the most important and confusing thing - what does it want to do? Unfortunately, it has never been achieved." Lu Hanyi said, "In the era before the formation of writing , such a description of war is difficult to pass down, even if it is passed down, it will be mixed with other myths and legends, making it difficult to distinguish the true from the false. Of course, we have been doing this kind of work, and the various families of "Pests" have not stopped Training archaeological experts, and funding various archaeological organizations, the remains of monsters and fossils are very important evidence. We found that the devil does not only exist in human history, or in other words, far more than human history, it The appearance of the earliest can even be traced back to the Precambrian period 3000 million years ago."

Feng Si took a breath: "Don't scare people with this kind of age that can't be mentioned in textbooks! Doesn't that thing really achieve... the same life as the world? What exactly is it going to do? Conquer Earth?"

"We have also speculated that its goal is to destroy all creatures on the earth, just like the fictional alien conquerors in early sci-fi movies, and some archaeological evidence also supports this conjecture." Lu Hanyi said, "But Since the last century, some new evidence has shown that it also existed in the period of great prosperity of some ancient creatures, but it did not prevent the reproduction of species at all, on the contrary, it seemed to help - it may have used monsters to slaughter some ferocious creatures old species to help the new, physically weaker ones grow."

"The demon servant also told me just now that if the demon king really wants to destroy human beings, then the history of human beings can be completely cut off from the era of Australopithecus. This is really weird..." Feng Si scratched his scalp, " So when did you guys start gathering?"

"In the early days of human existence, monsters appeared in different places around the world, so these monsters were mentioned in myths and legends everywhere, but at that time, human beings were completely passive. To them, these monsters were nothing more than The stronger and more ferocious saber-toothed tiger mammoth, but later, some smart tribal leaders gradually discovered the commander behind the monster—the demon servant, and found that the flesh of the demon servant was much weaker than the monster. And once the demon was destroyed However, even if this group of people mastered this trick, it would be very difficult to break through the guards of monsters and kill demon servants with human strength and primitive tools, so they started Researching the demon servant, I finally discovered the existence of the attached brain."

"What exactly is brain attached?" Feng Si asked.

"As the name suggests, attaching a brain is to implant a new symbiotic brain into your brain, which is close to a parasite to some extent." Lu Hanyi said, "It was after a certain ancestor killed a demon servant. Found in its body. The attached brain does look like a small bug. The ancestors didn't know what it was, but their intuition made them keep this 'worm' and try to raise it, hoping to pass it Find a way to restrain the demon servant. At the beginning, everyone tried everything, but they couldn't find anything special, until one day, when a young man went to feed the worm, the worm suddenly Burst up, drilled into his body from his cheek.

"At that time, people thought he was going to die, but the strange thing is that although he had a continuous fever afterwards, he was in a coma for more than ten days, but he didn't die. Half a month later, he woke up miraculously, and the fever disappeared. Retired. After a while, people found that he began to become stronger than ordinary people, and his running and jumping speed exceeded the limit of human power. Only then did everyone realize that that strange bug seemed to have the ability to make people stronger The power. And such power may become the key for human beings to resist the devil.

"In the thousands of years since then, people have been looking for and researching this kind of 'bug', and they named it differently. For example, the ancient Chinese believed that the heart governs the gods, and believed that people's thinking activities and intelligence are determined by the heart. Yes, some people call it 'Heart Ape'. When anatomy gradually became more developed and people understood that the brain is the foundation of thinking, it has a unified name, that is attached brain.

"People captured some attached brains alive, tried every means to combine them with the human body, and tried their best to keep them stable-- attached brains have never been good babies, they will try to maintain their self-awareness, and if they are not careful, they may Conversely control the human body. For example, Chinese Taoism has always been popular to use raw materials such as lead and mercury to make alchemy. It is also very harmful to the human body. Even in modern times, we use a milder formula called 'wine', but it is still difficult to eradicate its toxicity. Coupled with the harmfulness of the brain itself, people with the brain... ...Probably it will be difficult to live long."

Hearing this, Feng Si finally understood what happened to the big man Yu Han.And the so-called "wine" that He Yifan injected into him was actually of the same nature as the Taoist Waidan.The magic of the attached brain and the ferocity of demon servants and monsters are probably the origin of many ancient myths and even religions.

"Are all attached brains implanted in this way?" he asked again.

"No, there is another way, that is, people who already possess brains intermarry genetically." Lu Hanyi said, "This method is less efficient, and it is easier to produce waste, either without brains at all, or with brains They cannot be awakened either, or they are completely controlled by the attached brain at birth. However, once they are determined to be awakened and controlled, this natural attached brain has much stronger abilities than the acquired one. The two methods bring The choice in the past has also caused the current internal division of the guardians-the family with the inborn brain habitually discriminates against the acquired ones."

"The three of them all belong to families that believe in innate inheritance," Liang Ye interjected, "and my family has always only chosen acquired implantation. In fact, this kind of discrimination is not completely unreasonable. Except for a very small number of outliers like me, most of them Acquired implants are no match for those who acquired brain attachment through family blood. However, the way of family blood inheritance is too risky. There have been cases in the past where newborns with brain attachment nearly killed the entire family, so many people would rather seek a safe one. .”

When Feng Si heard the words "the newborn's brain went mad and almost killed the whole family", his heart moved and he thought of his own birth.But he didn't have time to think about it, Lu Hanyi continued: "Brain attachment makes people stronger, and it's only a preliminary effect. No matter how strong a person is, it's still hard for a person to be as strong as a monster in terms of physical strength; for a small number of people with relatively special physiques In other words, being attached to the brain can also give them a special ability, that is, to stimulate the moth's mark. The moth's mark is a special physical space that can greatly affect people or things that step into it. Different people will stimulate different abilities These moth marks may be very powerful, or they may be completely useless, and the factors that activate the moth marks are not only related to personal physique, but also related to the nature of the attached brain itself, but people have not yet found a precise rule. Facts In fact, there are very few people who can use the attached brain itself. Most people will die soon after implanted with the attached brain, and some people will become monsters like monsters. The death rate is higher in the way of blood inheritance. But in order to It is possible to spread the fire against the Demon King as much as possible, and people have adopted various extremely cruel methods."

"Cruel? Like?"

"For example... have you seen this statue?" Lu Hanyi pointed to the bull-headed statue in the temple.

"I've always been curious about what kind of statue this is. It's clearly in the Western style, but it was placed in an ancient tomb in a backward mountain village in China." Feng Si said.

"This is an evil god, a god believed by people in the southeast coast of the Mediterranean Sea in ancient times, and its name is Molech." Lu Hanyi said, "The ancient Canaanites worshiped it, and they had a unique way of offering sacrifices— —Put underage children in the fire and burn them. The metal trap on the statue is used to burn children.”

Feng Si couldn't help shivering, Lu Hanyi went on to say: "But in fact, the sacrifice method of the evil god Moloch is just a fraud fabricated to cover up the facts. Sacrifice is not the purpose, burning is the purpose."

"You mean... to activate the attached brain by burning the body?" Feng Si was surprised again.

"Yes, although the specific reason is not clear, but during that period of time, most of the attached brains in the Mediterranean area showed fire-related abilities. In order to screen babies, they would throw babies into the fire, and they could be reborn from the fire Yes, it is possible to grow into an elite in the future.”

"And the rest will be burned to death..." Feng Si was a little speechless.He is not a person who likes to hold the moral stick high, not to mention that he has just seen the demon servants and those terrifying monsters with his own eyes, so he naturally understands how cruel this war is, but the blood of innocent people cannot make him indifferent after all.

"Well, thank you, I finally solved a lot of mysteries in my heart." He calmed down, and then said, "Next question: Can you tell me about the Chosen One and what happened to me? According to According to the demon servant, I seem to be an alarm clock..."

Lu Hanyi smiled slightly: "It's indeed like an alarm clock, but it's not quite. It starts with the devil king's deep sleep... What's wrong?"

He saw Guan Xueying quietly tugging on Feng Si's sleeve, pointing at the entrance of the temple.Feng Si was stunned for a moment, then suddenly slapped his head: "Damn! I forgot about the old man!"

He hurriedly ran out of the temple to check on Wan Dongfeng.The old village chief was dying, his eyes were closed tightly, no matter how much Feng Si shook and shouted, he did not respond.
