Leaving the courtyard estate, Gu Shen ca to the gate outside.
Mr. Zhuang and Qi Mo had already been waiting for a long ti.
"Mr. Xiao Gu, the God’s Favored Son, she..." Mr. Zhuang asked cautiously.
Gu Shen said softly, "She’s already asleep."
After a night of rushing around and exhaustion, Xiaoman fell into a deep sleep after crying.
Mr. Zhuang let out an "oh" and then said nothing more.
"Although it’s not appropriate to bring this up now, I still want to say..."
Qi Mo couldn’t help but remind, "The blood extraction..."
Gu Shen smiled.
He knew Qi Mo had been concerned about this all along.
"Mr. Qi, take a look at what this is?"
He raised his hand, and the fire of life in his palm was slowly burning, a globule of blood was freely swaying, supported by the "fire of life", presenting an irregular shape.
After Xiaoman fell asleep, Gu Shen checked her for injuries and incidentally used the fire of life to extract so clotted blood.
"!"
Qi Mo’s eyes lit up, and he quickly took out an extraction tube.
To him, as long as it’s blood, it’s fine...
The gene sequence and specific abilities of the "God’s Favored Son". Qi Mo had waited for far too long. After extracting the blood, he did not even say goodbye and rushed towards the direction of the research institute!
Seeing this, Mr. Zhuang and Gu Shen exchanged glances and couldn’t help but laugh.
"In his eyes, there’s only ’experint’..."
Mr. Zhuang said helplessly, "Mr. Xiao Gu, don’t be mad."
"The noble should indeed be respected."
Gu Shen said seriously, "Regarding the ’God’s Favored Son’... it’s not that simple, have you noticed the child in the basket?"
"That child..."
Mr. Zhuang’s expression grew serious. After revealing the cloth over the basket, he found that this child, who looked only a few months old, was staring straight at him with calm eyes like a still lake, without any ripple.
Recalling this scene,
he felt a bit bizarre, how could there be such a "baby" in this world?
"If Mr. Qi wants to research the ’God’s Favored Son’, he’d better include his blood sample in the gene testing as well." Gu Shen said earnestly, "This child is very peculiar, your diary recorded that the ’iron box’ revived three years ago..."
Mr. Zhuang was taken aback: "Yes!"
He suddenly realized the key point in what Gu Shen was saying...
Miss Xiaoman was far more than three years old, whereas this baby seed not three years old.
"You an... Miss Xiaoman might not be the God’s Favored Son..."
Mr. Zhuang took a light breath, this young girl carrying the basket everywhere she went, Tanyao’s anomaly might also be induced by the baby in the basket...
"Yes, it’s just possible."
Gu Shen said calmly, "Of course... Whether she is the ’God’s Favored Son’ or not, it doesn’t matter. From now on, her na is ’Gu Xiaoman’."
Mr. Zhuang was silent for a long ti.
He slowly said, "I understand."
...
...
Due to extre fatigue and the spiritual nurturing of "Chi Huo," Gu Xiaoman slept for a full two days and nights. When she awoke, it was already noon on the third day.
She opened her eyes, and saw unfamiliar white bed curtains, no longer in the dirty, muddy alley.
Last night’s rain had already passed.
There were quite a few fallen flowers and leaves in the estate.
But she slept extrely peacefully.
Gu Xiaoman felt an unreal sensation, and she instinctively reached for the basket’s position, she used to always hug it to sleep... but it wasn’t there this ti, so she quickly sat up.
There was a very soft laugh coming from outside the courtyard.
"Awake?"
Gu Xiaoman pushed open the door and saw Gu Shen sitting under a tree in the courtyard, the basket was beside him... Only the baby was no longer in the basket, the little one had been placed on Gu Shen’s shoulder, holding Gu Shen’s head with both hands, his eyes as calm as ever, without any emotional fluctuation.
"..."
Gu Xiaoman looked at this scene, speechless and smiled.
"This little guy seems very intelligent."
Gu Shen lifted him up with both hands to et his gaze... for so reason, this baby gave him a very familiar and yet unfamiliar feeling, especially those eyes, whenever he looked into them, he always felt sothing was odd.
A child who looked only a few months old yet possessed the gaze of an adult.
"Indeed..."
Gu Xiaoman whispered, "Every ti I see him, I feel inexplicably reassured... It’s just that he doesn’t seem to grow up... he’s been like this for the past two years..."
She had wandered the back streets of E0 District for two years, carrying the basket.
During these two years, naturally, the food quality was extrely poor.
Gu Xiaoman could only attribute the child’s lack of growth to "malnutrition."
She would naturally teach this child to speak so words, but... this seemingly very intelligent baby had never learned, he neither cried nor fussed, just accompanying her through every difficult night.
Eating a little less, they wouldn’t starve.
Teaching him a bit more, yet he never learned.
Sotis, Gu Xiaoman felt like she was raising a living doll, this baby indeed resembled a doll, but it was precisely due to this "not crying or fussing" peculiar temperant, that she could raise the baby safely for two years...
"You sure can sleep, dozing for thirty straight hours."
Gu Shen laughed, "The Neutrals selected so clothes for you, see if there’s anything you like... those clothes are all placed in the next room, we’ll go to the ’research institute’ later."
Xiaoman bit her lip, feeling a bit uneasy.
"Don’t worry..."
Gu Shen smiled, "How should I explain it, most people in Sangzhou Cave have awakened so ’Extraordinary Ability’, rember what the Source Tower Enforcer said to you? You are also one of the ’Awakeners’..."
Actually, Xiaoman was aware of this.
Although the awakening experints proceeded silently.
The changes they brought were keenly felt by every resident on the island.
Even the beasts suddenly beca gigantic overnight and possessed so incredible abilities or characteristics—
The people residing within the high walls were the sa!
"He said at the ti... my ability was ’A-level’..."
Xiaoman lowered her head, looking at her hands, murmuring.
"It should be beyond A-level."
Gu Shen said warmly, "The Source Tower’s instrunt for testing Extraordinary Essence... When it detected you, it burst."
That scene, he rembered very clearly.
Xiaoman looked up in confusion, not knowing what this ant.
"Beyond A-level, it’s a very, very remarkable talent..."
Gu Shen patiently explained, "But there’s sothing strange about it, the higher the level of the Transcendent, the stronger the power after awakening. Have you noticed anything special about yourself?"
"I..."
Xiaoman seed a bit downcast, she chuckled bitterly, shaking her head.
If she were really as formidable as Gu Shen said, she wouldn’t have been beaten up every day in the garbage dump.
Special?
She seed quite resilient to beatings.
Does that count as special?
