In the real world outside the sandbox, practice is just beginning to take shape, and people have no idea about supernatural powers, but Lin Tuo is very familiar with it.
Whether it is the first batch of evolvers in Wasteland.
Later, the wizards and sea races of the New World were all examples of naturally possessing extraordinary abilities.
Far away, there is still a baby apprentice in his house who can use starvation in exchange for his injury...
Therefore, at the moment of seeing this "fire-breathing man", when Li Tai and others were still puzzled, Lin Tuo understood what had happened.
Someone awakened.
But... why is this happening?
coincidence?
lucky?
Strictly speaking, the awakening power of the practitioner is not impossible. There have been many examples in sandbox No. 2.
It was written in the books collected from the sandbox. Later, when talking with Hathaway and others, I also asked them sideways.
It is not uncommon for ordinary people to accidentally awaken supernatural powers because of their cultivation.
It also makes sense.
You think that alien energy comes from spirituality, and spirituality comes from the spiritual world...comes with the ether.
So a little bit of spirituality enters reality, is fused by some lucky people, and awakens...this is logically reasonable.
But Lin Tuo still felt that something was not right, and recalled that not long ago, he prayed that the candle would destroy itself and poured a large amount of ether into Yangcheng.
"Something tricky," he thought.
There was a lot of noise in the hall of the self-cultivation hall. At this time, Li Tai and other "staff" had already rushed over to protect the scene. The onlookers were talking about it, and Lin Tuo followed and understood the passing.
The process is not bizarre, even a little abrupt.
Probably a cultivator looked at the manual, flipped through it, and suddenly fell to the ground with a croak, and then began to breathe fire from his pores.
Well, quite sloppy.
"Closed today, please come back tomorrow." The situation was too weird, and no one dared to move. The people in the self-cultivation hall had to announce that it was closed early. Lin Tuo and Li Tai greeted them and left with the flow of people.
He was not worried about the fire-breathing person.
According to historical experience in the sandbox, awakening is often accompanied by a coma, which will stabilize for a few hours at most.
just……
"Tsk, it won't be on the evening news."
...
...
After leaving the scene, Lin Tuo was thinking about the matter in his heart, and lost the mood of shopping, so he bought some vegetables and fruits and sent them back to Lishan in a remote place.
At night, not surprisingly, the awakening incident spread in this pilot city.
The TV station did not report, and the mainstream platform was calm.
Obviously, it was said hello, but this could not hinder the enthusiasm of Yangcheng residents for discussion.
Suddenly, all kinds of speculations, rumors, and flying, things also spread more and more evil.
In a blink of an eye, the next day, a piece of news came out:
The first "Awakened" in Yangcheng officially settled in the Self-cultivation Hall.
A video was also attached, which was a picture of a man demonstrating the ability to manipulate flames. Suddenly, the risk of the entire public opinion was reversed.
Combined with the global image content some time ago, people naturally gave birth to an association:
Is there a chance of awakening "special powers" in addition to strengthening physical fitness?
In the next two days, more and more people awakened in Yangcheng and surrounding cities.
Several appear almost every day.
The acquisition ability is also different, and some are more cool, such as fire breathing, water spray, hand rubbing small electric balls.
Some are more introverted, such as a sharp increase in vision, night vision ability, or a doubling of power several times.
For a while, the whole city was agitated, and the government was overwhelmed and busy.
At first, there were some thoughts of blocking the news. Later, as the number of people increased, it seemed that they couldn't control it. They simply gave up on themselves. It only took a few days to make the city full of storms.
Lin Tuo also saw a lot of discussions on the Internet.
This also made him more and more sure of one thing, that is, this is definitely not just an accidental problem.
Probably, a few awakenings in a huge crowd make sense.
But... it's a bit too dense.
In just a few days, there are dozens of people watching the awakening abilities around them. If you want to make a metaphor, it's like mushrooms sprung up after a rain.
Well, Lin Tuo felt that the ether he spit out was the rain.
Perhaps it was the "spirituality" that prayed for the candle to destroy itself and passed away, mixed in the ether, and vomited into the real world by him?
Otherwise there is no way to explain...
Thinking of this, Lin Tuo, who was sitting under the eaves of the house, couldn't help but rubbed the tattered candlestick in his hand again, and sighed: "You can really toss."
"Huh?" Huaxi, who was squatting next to him thinking about "Tongyushu," glanced at him, expressing his doubts in round Chinese.
"It's none of your business, let's go play." Lin Tuo held his forehead.
...
...
After a few days of anxiety, the number of awakened people finally stabilized and began to show a downward trend, which made Lin Tuo finally relieved.
He has been worried about whether there will be any problems.
After all, although the cultivation method can make people stronger, it is a slow process that requires time and hard work, and the whole society accepts it more calmly.
But awakening is different.
This thing is equivalent to putting a gun in the hands of ordinary people, if someone can't see the situation clearly, and do evil, it will be troublesome.
However, Lin Tuo thought for a while and found that the situation was still under control.
First of all, the lethality of most abilities is not great, and they are in an understandable range. Referring to the experience in the sandbox, there are many evolving people in the wasteland, and the only thing that can be really relied on is guns.
The group of wizards is huge, and they are not bound by chains.
Secondly, most of the awakened people only appear around Yangcheng, within the coverage of that mouthful of ether, and there are not many.
After this wave of awakening passes, and the government has experience, it will be easier.
In the meantime, Li Tai called "Taihe Zhenren" through the transmission of Daowen and asked questions about the awakened person. Lin Tuo had to vaguely say that it was the aftermath of the last incident and it would soon calm down.
As the number of newly awakened people decreased and they were included, the popularity of public opinion also slowly declined.
But just when everyone thought that this matter was under control.
An unexpected news made people nervous again.
"... At about 11 o'clock this morning, a bad-natured banknote truck was robbed on Fujiang Road in this city. The was injured and unconscious. Through on-site monitoring, the suspect was suspected of awakening a human with supernatural powers and has now fled with the stolen goods. The department is pursuing it, and citizens are welcome to provide clues..."
Another evening, in the martial arts field.
When the two moved a small table and had dinner face to face, Lin Tuo pushed a piece of local news on his cell phone.
Then, Huaxi, who was holding a rice bowl and picking up rice, looked at Lin Tuo on the opposite side and his expression became gloomy.
"Teacher?" she asked tentatively.
"It's okay, you can eat first, I'll go back to the house to deal with something."
Lin Tuo gave Huaxi a smile, then lost his appetite, got up and went into the study, his eyes fell on a prosperous city in the evolutionary sand table, showing a little anger.
Finally, the first case of violation of the law by the awakened inevitably occurred.
Lin Tuo thought for a while and felt that he had to do something.
