Lou Yuxiao, who lives in Aisinvar, is 21 years old. She is one of the first batch of new humans born through improved genes. Her various physical data are far superior to ordinary people.
These data mainly include: appearance, height, physical fitness, reaction speed, logical thinking ability, spatial cognition ability and body immunity.
With this inherent wealth, Lou Yuxiao became the most special resident on this street.
However, she cannot disclose her secret to the outside world, because it will lead to death. After all, genetic modification is still a forbidden area that violates the bottom line of human ethics, especially for ordinary people. This will aggravate social injustice and break the social hierarchy.
In fact, Lou Yuxiao only realized that she was so special three years ago, but she did not feel bothered by it. Instead, she enjoyed this specialness extremely.
Because in the eyes of everyone, she is a goddess, a beloved child who is specially cared for by God.
However, the day before Lou Yuxiao was about to celebrate his 22nd birthday, that was the evening of November 31, 149 AD.
Her neighborhood was flooded with heavily armed fighters.
To ordinary people, the armed men who come at night are silent ghosts, and no one will notice their existence.
However, Lou Yuxiao, whose body evolution far exceeds that of ordinary people, keenly felt the danger approaching.
But those people weren't here for her.
They broke into a house opposite Lou Yuxiao's house.
Less than five minutes later, gunshots were heard from the house opposite. Lou Yuxiao was frightened. Although she had extremely strong physical fitness, she had never seen a real bloody scene.
Therefore, when she saw the man with bloodstained face breaking through the window and falling heavily on the street, Lou Yuxiao was so frightened that she almost lost consciousness and screamed.
But the more scared you are, the more curious you become.
Lou Yuxiao lay on the window and looked towards the street.
Just then, I saw the man who jumped from the fourth floor still trying to get up and escape.
But as soon as he took two steps, he was wrapped up in a special restraint device by the armed men. Then these men lifted the man on the ground and disappeared into the night.
Lou Yuxiao was frightened. The first thing she thought of was to wake up her roommate and notify the police in the area.
However, as soon as she turned around, she saw her roommate running out in a hurry.
"This? Xiaoying! Where are you going?"
The roommate didn't look back, he opened the door and ran out. However, before Lou Yuxiao could catch up to the door, he heard the sound of gunshots coming from downstairs. It was very subtle, but very clear.
A chill ran down Lou Yuxiao's spine, and he was completely frightened.
At the same time, Lou Yuxiao realized that she could not call the police because her mother directly told her that if she called the police... she might end up like her roommate...
And her intuition has always been accurate...but she didn't expect to use it at this time...
…
The next day, Lou Yuxiao, who had not slept all night, went downstairs and did not hear her neighbors greet her.
When I came to the street, I saw no blood, as if nothing happened.
Lou Yuxiao stood on the street for a while, and suddenly she felt as if a pair of eyes were looking at her. She turned around alertly, only to see pedestrians hurrying gradually, and no one was staring at her.
Arriving at the advanced school with uneasiness, Lou Yuxiao was thinking about how to explain the disappearance of her roommate.
However... after the morning's classes ended, he didn't even notice the disappearance of Lou Yuxiao's roommate, and her scientific experiment bench
It was also used by others, and it seemed that for a moment, everyone forgot that such a person existed.
Fear, uneasiness...
Lou Yuxiao felt that the whole world had become extremely dangerous.
In the evening, Lou Yuxiao went to the snack shop where she often worked to take care of stray animals, but found that the shop was empty. The proprietress who usually quarreled with Si Que in front of the door early in the morning was nowhere to be seen, but the seat where she usually sat was missing.
There is a cup of hot coffee that I have not yet drank.
Lou Yuxiao thought that the landlady just went out on business, so she kept waiting in the store.
But late at night, the proprietress was not seen back, and the usual diners who came to eat were also missing.
At that moment, Lou Yuxiao had the illusion that she was the only one left in the world and everyone had disappeared.
Because she was worried about seeing a similar situation again, Lou Yuxiao did not go home that night, but rested in a small room in the store.
Another sleepless night.
Lou Yuxiao could not share the cake with her roommate that night. She curled up and hugged herself tightly in fear, feeling that all the happiness and joy were quickly leaving her.
In the early morning of December 2nd.
There was a knock on the door.
Lou Yuxiao opened the door and saw a middle-aged man wearing a top hat and a classic windbreaker.
He held his cane and asked with a smile: "Excuse me, is this No. 137 Wangye Road?"
Lou Yuxiao was stunned for a moment, then said warily: "Who are you?"
The middle-aged man smiled: "My name is Felim, I am a friend of the owner of this store. I made an appointment with her to meet today. Is she here?"
friend?
Lou Yuxiao did not think that the extremely pale man in front of him could be the boss's friend.
"The boss lady is not here, why don't you come back another day?" Lou Yuxiao said and was about to close the door.
However, Felim blocked the door with a light touch of his cane. Then he looked over Lou Yuxiao's shoulder and looked behind her and said: "Little girl, isn't your boss here? How can you lie?"
Lou Yuxiao was very agitated. After hearing this, he was about to exert his strength when he heard a voice from behind: "Yu Xiao, let him come in."
Lou Yuxiao was startled. She turned around and saw that she was the boss's wife!
However, the landlady's face was also pale at this time, but her paleness was due to her injury.
…
I closed the store door and went into the back room.
The landlady and Felim were sitting across from each other, while Lou Yuxiao was making tea and preparing some simple snacks.
During the whole process, she found that neither of the two people in the room spoke, and she herself was also absent-minded. Mainly because too many things had happened in the past two days, and she had a lot of questions that needed to be answered.
"Tea, please." Lou Yuxiao felt uncomfortable looking at this pale-skinned man.
When he was about to leave, the landlady said to Lou Yuxiao: "Yuxiao, please sit down too. I have something to say to you."
Lou Yuxiao was a little surprised, but still sat down obediently.
…
"A lot of strange things have happened outside these days. I believe you have noticed it, right?" the landlady asked Lou Yuxiao.
Lou Yuxiao looked at the landlady and said to her heart: 'It's strange enough that you hide it, there's no need to go outside and see...'
But Lou Yuxiao would not say it, she just nodded.
"So Yuxiao, do you want to know what happened?" the landlady continued to ask.
Of course Lou Yuxiao wants to know,
But she always felt that the more she knew, the more dangerous it would be, but her intuition told her that she had no choice, and it was impossible to leave now.
"Well..." Lou Yuxiao could only nod again.
After hearing Lou Yuxiao's affirmative reply, the landlady felt relieved and asked Felim: "Sir, can I say something?"
Sir? This is the first time Lou Yuxiao has heard someone call him that. Could it be that he is the husband of the landlady?
Felim looked at Lou Yuxiao and said: "Since we have to make the truth public sooner or later, it doesn't matter who we tell first."
The truth?! What truth?! Hasn’t the central curtain disappeared?
Lou Yuxiao really couldn't think of any secrets hidden in this world, but thinking about what she saw and heard that night, she felt that there might indeed be some hidden truths that had not been revealed.
After getting the answer, the landlady said: "Yu Xiao, do you know the 'factor'?"
Lou Yuxiao shook his head: "I don't know."
"That's it... then, you think of the 'factor' as a channel that can connect two worlds. Do you understand?"
Lou Yuxiao thought for a while and felt a little confused, but he could probably understand it, but...
"Connecting two worlds? Which two worlds? Us and the world of numbers?"
The landlady shook her head, and then continued: "No, it's Gaia and the Earth, the present and the past."
"ah?"
Later, the landlady briefly described this connection to Lou Yuxiao.
And Lou Yuxiao finally understood the truth.
It turns out that there have always been many earthlings around her, or rather... the souls of earth's ancestors from the long past.
They came to this world accidentally and lived with the identity of this world.
At first, every earthling who traveled across the long river of time to Gaia thought that they were a special case, so they lived peacefully and played strange roles.
Until one day, when the Center Veil incident ended and some of them came into contact with the factor, they realized that this was not an individual special event, but some kind of non-accidental event that might be larger in scale and hide a greater secret behind it.
event.
So some of them began to look for "similar people" on Gaia.
The initiators of this search call their organization "aoa", which means "the true seers".
It means a person who has a glimpse of the truth of the world.
After decades of development, today's "True Seeers" have grown stronger, but because of this, the leaders of Gaia Star have gradually begun to notice this "invasion" behavior.
Especially the latest accident has completely exposed this secret.
So they launched a cleanup on a global scale, intending to clean out all the souls that had "invaded" from the earth.
The man who jumped off the building that Lou Yuxiao saw that night was one of them, as was her roommate who ran away in a hurry.
Regardless of whether there is anything wrong with the Glorious Republic's move, the crisis for the True Seeers has arrived. If they do not take some effective measures, they will most likely face being centrally "processed."
The better result is incarceration-style management, the worse result...
When hearing this, one can imagine Lou Yuxiao's shock.
After knowing the identity of the two people in front of him, Lou Yuxiao was even more sure that he had no chance of retreating and pretending not to know.
