Chapter 407 The price of extraordinary powers, chronic death
Only you know your own body best.
It is true that those complicated and complicated 'physiochemical reports'.
If you are not a professional, you will not be able to read it at all.
but...
only the guy drinking water knows it's cold or hot.
Human consciousness cannot exist alone without the body.
At least for them, who are still 'souls bound by gravity', that's the case.
If an organ is overwhelmed, it will often silently warn the owner of the body in various ways.
As someone who often wakes up at night with heart palpitations.
Li Xingjie understands this very well.
The spiritual energy revived, giving her unique extraordinary power.
Her spiritual powers, to all the living beings in the outside world...
Even if it is described as a god, it is no exaggeration.
——Not to mention the degree of weirdness and difficulty in guarding against, the destructive power alone is extremely exaggerated.
An existence that can easily make all civilized countries on a continent regress back to the pre-industrial era if it wishes, is sometimes more dangerous and terrifying than the 'Lords of Destruction' who were regarded as gods in ancient times.
But...
If it is not officially absorbed.
was given the responsibility of protecting the country.
To be honest, Li Xingjie felt deep in her heart.
I don’t want this ability at all.
——She was already like this when the Official Professionals Association found her a few years ago.
She has always been alone at home, like a homebody, and has no idea of using her powers to go out and destroy the world.
It doesn't look like the same style at all as those little Karami who just got some three-legged cat powers such as "breathing fire from the mouth" and "double power", and then began to think about beating up the rich and handsome and kidnapping the white and beautiful.
Countless nights, she tried to have a dream that would allow her to 'return to normal' and regain her legs.
It's a pity that it has never been very successful.
all the time.
That is, relying on the sense of responsibility that comes with carrying a heavy burden on your shoulders;
And...occasionally use supernatural powers to peek into certain secrets to satisfy the 'desire for voyeurism';
She persisted until today.
should say...
What Xiao Baimao has done in the past few years is worthy of the official investment in her.
——The saying 'With great power comes great responsibility' is indeed true;
——But whether it’s public or private, from the perspective of any superpower, no matter how powerful she is, isn’t she still a human being?
It's human, it's flesh and blood.
There are things to be afraid of, times to be sad and even discouraged.
Su Wen had always had a high regard for this guy because even he was impressed by Xiao Baimao's performance:
Although this guy is not from the same camp as himself, he is indeed a well-known figure on Blue Star!
As for the change of position, Su Wen himself felt that he might not be able to perform like this.
..
Although, from a technical point of view.
'Psychic powers' are not diseases in the true sense of the word.
It is a serious extraordinary ability.
When it acts on Little White Hair, the corrosive effect it brings... is just a side effect.
But it's a pity.
From an ordinary person's perspective, and simply discussing 'health factors'.
Her current situation is that of a standard 'terminal patient'...
——As an existence that can be called a 'humanoid decisive battle weapon', her physical condition can naturally be specially examined by all professional institutions in the country.
Within the center, her medical condition protection level is even higher than that of the standing elders.
...Well, actually, it's because the latter's situation can't be as bad as hers.
No matter how busy the elders are with government affairs, at most they are a little out of shape, have some endocrine disorders or something like that.
With the protection of a professional team, no one will have to worry.
But Li Xingjie...
After the catastrophe, there were no Mayo, Hopkins, or Anderson centers.
Nowadays, the best medical workers in China are in major institutions under the Academy of Engineering and the Ministry of Health.
Even the professionals and extraordinary people on the other line who belong to the 'mysterious side' are all cooperating with the official.
All first-class 'masters' including them...
We have set up special teams and even engaged in a 'big battle' within the medical system...
All are helpless.
It doesn’t matter whether it’s a great person in the engineering academy or a person with special powers of healing.
No one can solve Li Xingjie’s problems:
——The mental ability has been deeply bound to her soul, and it is completely impossible to eradicate it by means other than through 'physical account cancellation'.
In other words, it can be thought of...
What corroded her body and destroyed her body was basically her own soul.
As long as she has this power, she will not be able to stop this 'accelerated death' process.
...and.
This isn't something that can be returned with a click of 'I don't want it anymore'.
This is the awakening of supernatural powers caused by the revival of spiritual energy.
It cannot be caused by humans, nor can it be controlled by humans.
It’s not like you can just give it back to God if you don’t want it.
Unless he has to give it back with his life, then there is a way.
"..."
For such a dilemma...
At the beginning, Li Xingjie was also very desperate and even found it difficult to accept.
But after a few years, she got used to it.
——The matter has come to this, and I can’t ask for too much.
What else could I do?
If you don't just make do with it, how about committing suicide?
If you commit suicide...
Not to mention that she didn't want to die that much.
Even if you really don't want to live, you won't play this stupid trick of "getting rid of the superpower before it kills you, leaving it helpless"...
Another thing is that her life now is more than just her own.
The corrosive effect is certainly deceptive, but the powerful mental control power makes her fate closely related to the fate of the country...
——It is no exaggeration to say that if she dies, it will affect the fate of the country!
Of course, China will not be devastated by losing her.
But what is conceivable is that whether it is a reconstruction project or recovering lost ground,
Everyone will be severely delayed and affected by the death of such a super-powerful person.
Even for this little bit of patriotism, she didn't think she could give up her choice casually.
...There is no such thing as 'moral kidnapping'.
Speak matter-of-factly.
The country has helped her a lot.
I can still hang on for now, and I still have a life expectancy of nearly ten years.
It’s all thanks to the nutrient solutions developed by the Academy of Engineering, the Institute of Biology, and the professional associations.
No one owes anyone anything.
At most it can be regarded as 'mutual use'.
...Of course, in her mind, she would rather call it 'mutual help'.
Limited organizational capabilities;
Her own abilities are limited.
So much so that Li Xingjie gradually got used to the status quo and expressed a passive acquiescence to the possible fate in the future.
Anyway, her disease couldn't be cured on Blue Star, so what else could she do if she didn't acquiesce?
but...
Now, her thoughts are a little different.
It really can’t be cured on Blue Star.
Can...
What if we could turn to 'Afterglow Civilization'?
..
There are many things that you won’t think about when you don’t have access to them.
No specific ideas.
But once you come into contact with it... you can't help but make people think about it.
Li Xingjie is in such a state now.
All along, she believed that her fate was irreversible.
By chance, she possesses a power that is unique in all Blue Stars.
But equally, she was destined to die at the most 'appropriate' age for a person.
As for 'Afterglow Civilization'...
to be frank.
At first, she had similar thoughts.
There was once a glimmer of expectation.
but.
The relationship between the two parties has been very delicate since the beginning of their friendship.
She is not very sure whether such a goal can be achieved...
