The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"This is?" Leo couldn't help being stunned when he saw the origin of the gamma ray energy, and then used spiritual energy to sweep away the soil on it, exposing the source of the gamma ray inside.

I saw that the source was not some radiation item, but a baby girl who was buried alive.

If it weren't for the weak gamma rays continuously emitting from her body, this baby girl would be no different from an ordinary human from the inside out.

Because it had been buried for a while, the baby girl's vital signs were a little weak, and she might die at any time.

Leo didn't think much about it, he picked up the baby girl from the pit, and then used spiritual tremor and other healing spiritual power skills to treat the baby girl, and soon with a slight cough, the baby girl recovered, and He opened his closed eyes and looked at Leo.

When he saw the baby girl's eyes, Leo understood why she was buried alive, because the baby girl's eyes were as black as ink, like a black glass ball, and he could vaguely see through the glass ball. At one point the flames were jumping.

Being stared at by such eyes, even a strong-willed person like Leo would unconsciously feel a kind of inexplicable horror, but the moment ordinary people see these eyes, their hearts may be completely surrounded by fear .

However, this inexplicable feeling did not affect Leo for too long, and soon he recovered from the inexplicable fear.

Afterwards, he checked some of the baby girl's physical condition, and after confirming that she had no physical disease but malnutrition, he stretched out his finger and waved it in front of the little girl's eyes.

Although the baby girl's eyeballs are very weird, she is not blind. When Leo shakes his fingers, the eyeballs will move slightly with the fingers. After that, it feels more like Leo is playing a game with her, reaching out to catch Leo. O's finger.

During the inspection just now, Leo didn't find out why the girl's body could emit weak gamma ray energy, nor did he find out why the girl's eyes could produce a frightening effect, as if the girl was really just an ordinary person.

However, it is this kind of ordinaryness that does not seem to have any abnormalities that is not so ordinary.

A cold mountain wind blew around, the baby girl shivered and shrank into a ball, Leo wrapped her in clothes, and at the same time created a constant temperature energy field with psionic energy, covering the baby girl and the surrounding cold night Quarantine up.

Afterwards, Leo opened his psychic wings and flew into the air, identified the direction, and flew towards the nearest quarry town.

In Leo's view, the person who would bring this baby girl to this remote suburban forest to bury alive must be someone living nearby, so he wanted to go to the nearby quarry town to see if he could find this baby girl. The family of the baby girl knew the reason why the baby girl was buried alive. As for the follow-up, naturally he would not return the baby girl and let her family bury her alive. He planned to adopt the baby girl.

Soon Leo flew to the nearby quarry town. Through the spiritual network, he easily discovered more than 30 mutant families living here, and by listening to the conversations of these families, he also easily They found the family where the baby girl was.

Leo did not enter the apartment where the family lived and questioned why the people in the house buried the baby girl alive, but stood at the top of the apartment to spy on the conversations of these people through the spiritual network.

There are eleven members of this family in the apartment, two couples who are related, and seven children belonging to different families. Seven members of this family of eleven have obvious mutated organs, and the other four have some secrets. With signs of mutation, it is the most typical mutant family here.

Through the conversations among the family members, Leo confirmed that the family members of the baby girl had no guilt at all about burying the baby girl alive. On the contrary, they were relieved as if they had got rid of a scourge. If they had wine and food, even There may also be a celebratory banquet dedicated to the occasion.

As for why this family hates so much, or more correctly, is afraid of this newborn baby girl, there is a reason, which can also be learned from their conversation.

The baby girl was born more than a month ago. Seventeen people lived in this apartment when she was born, and those six people all died within this month. The reasons for the death of these people were all It's out of control variation.

At that time, no one suspected that this situation was related to the baby girl. Although the baby girl's eyes would make people feel extremely frightening, compared with the strange shapes and abilities of other mutants, the baby girl's dark eyeballs and use People's ability to fear is not that special, and everyone regards the baby girl as a general mutant.

It wasn't until several people died in a short period of time, which attracted the attention of the people in the town, worried that it was a plague, and began to investigate this matter, only to find that these people who died of out-of-control mutations had taken care of this baby girl before they died. two days.

After making this discovery, the people in the town verified it repeatedly, and found that the baby girl would really cause the mutation of other people's bodies to go out of control, so the people in the town thought that the baby girl was the embodiment of evil, the daughter of the curse, and came here specially. Deal with them outcasts.

The people in the town originally wanted to burn the baby girl to death, but the incident of burning people to death aroused some bad memories, so they decided to take the baby girl to the woods in the outskirts and bury it alive. It would not be objected that they no longer considered the baby girl as a member of the family when they learned that the baby girl was the cause of death in their family.

After understanding the situation, Leo was also able to guess why the baby girl would cause the mutated organs in those mutants to lose control, and then lead to death. The reason may be the gamma rays constantly emitted from the baby girl.

The Earth Federation has been researching gamma rays for a long time. In the old earth era, there were already specialized institutions engaged in the research of gamma rays. However, even in the era of Leo, what exactly are gamma rays and what do they have? What kind of effect, is still a mystery.

Because every time, the conclusions about what the function of gamma rays are, will be overturned due to the emergence of new technologies, and new functions will be added. According to rumors, even the higher universes of the Supreme Council of the universe Civilization also has not fully mastered gamma rays, cosmic energy rays.

Among the many functions of gamma rays that can be determined now, inducing gene mutation is one of the most basic functions.

Although the gamma ray on the baby girl is not strong, its basic function of causing gene mutation will not be weakened too much, and the few people who died were affected by the ray for a long time, and their bodies were also affected by other factors. The cause produces the mutation, and the gamma rays only serve to change the mutation from benign and chronic to acute and malignant.

After learning about the situation, Leo didn't intend to let the baby girl meet her family again, but directly used the psionic wings and flew back towards Kabu City.

"Why did you come back? Has it been resolved?" Sylvia, who was startled, couldn't help but ask in surprise when Leo flew in through the window.

"No, the assassin's matter is a bit complicated, and I need to talk to you." Leo shook his head slightly, then lifted the clothes to reveal the baby girl inside, and said, "But before that, you should clean her up first." of soil."

Seeing the baby girl in Leo's arms, Sylvia couldn't help being stunned. She never thought that Leo, who said not long ago that he would leave for two days, came back so quickly with a baby girl in his arms.

However, the baby girl's trembling body and murmurs immediately awakened Sylvia from her astonishment. She didn't ask much, and immediately stepped forward to hug the baby girl from Leo's arms.

Leo watched Sylvia coaxing the baby girl and walked towards the bathroom of the suite, and then reminded: "This little guy is a bit special, it's best that you help her groom yourself, and don't let other ordinary people get close to her."

Sylvia was stunned when she heard the words. At this time, the baby girl opened her eyes because of the change of environment. When she saw the baby girl's eyes, Sylvia felt an uncontrollable fear in her heart, but she The blood of the abyss dragon on his body quickly suppressed this abnormal fear.

"What a powerful force, I was affected without any precautions? Is she a mutant?" Sylvia asked in surprise.

"No." Leo shook his head.

Sylvia didn't continue to ask, and took the baby girl into the grooming room. About half an hour later, she carried the baby girl who had been groomed and swaddled back to the living room.

At this time, the baby girl was already asleep. Sylvia put the baby girl next to Little Tolan, then moved to Leo's side, and asked, "What happened? What happened to this baby girl?" ?”

After hearing the words, Leo told Sylvia about the baby girl's life experience and physical abnormalities.

"What? What kind of ray does she have that can make people mutate?" Sylvia immediately showed a nervous look on her face, stood up, and wanted to go to the cradle and take the baby girl away from Tolan.

Leo immediately grabbed her and said, "Don't be nervous, the gamma rays on her body are not harmful to Tolan, they only affect ordinary people, and..." He paused for a while. Said: "And maybe her gamma rays are good for Tolan's body."

Although Sylvia believed in Leo's judgment, she still asked suspiciously, "Is what you said true?"

"Of course it's true. Tolan is my son, and I won't do anything to harm him." Leo looked at Sylvia very seriously, and saw Sylvia's expression soften a little. , motioned her to do it, and then continued: "I suspect that when Tolan was born, the Black Forest made some manipulations on him."

Sylvia's face immediately became gloomy when she heard the words, obviously being manipulated by others was not a good thing in her past experience.

But before Sylvia got angry, Leo said, "However, I don't think these hands and feet are bad."

"What do you mean by that?" Sylvia stared at Leo full of dissatisfaction, and Leo was about to drive Leo out of the room without explaining clearly.

Leo still said unhurriedly: "Neither your blood nor my blood is allowed to exist in this world, because you and I can control it, so the repulsion caused by this world is not very great, but Tolan is different, he does not Know how to control your own power. If one day he suddenly awakens your abyss power or my blood power, then it will definitely cause rejection in this world. At that time, his life may be in danger, so the Black Forest is in his hands. It should be a good thing for him to have tampered with and sealed off all the power of his blood."

After listening to Leo's explanation, Sylvia also nodded in agreement. After leaving the Black Forest, Sylvia clearly felt that the world's suppression and rejection of her had strengthened a lot. Her bloodline has been further improved.

Therefore, even if the Black Forest didn't play tricks on little Tolan, she would probably go to the church to find someone to seal up little Tolan's blood.

However, it is one thing to ask actively, and another thing to accept passively. The Black Forest's practice of attacking secretly without saying hello still makes Sylvia feel extremely dissatisfied and annoyed.

Sylvia asked again puzzled: "Since you think it is a bad thing to stimulate Tolan's blood power, why do you say that it is good for that little girl to stay by Tolan's side?"

"The gamma rays on that baby girl can not only cause the human body to mutate, but also use a special method to trigger another kind of power in the human body." Leo said seriously: "That kind of power is also my original power. Lan can inspire the same strength as me."

"Is that kind of power spiritual?" Sylvia quickly made a guess.

Leo nodded.

As Leo said, according to the various studies of the Earth Federation and the data of alien civilizations, gamma rays can not only cause the mutation of human organs, but also stimulate the spiritual energy of the human body. In the psychic inheritance of aliens, there are very detailed records on how to use gamma rays to induce the potential psychic energy of the human body without harming the human body.

Although the above content is all about the alien races corresponding to the inheritance, Leo was able to draw inferences from it and find out some methods for gamma rays to stimulate psionic energy suitable for human beings, and long-term immersion in weak gamma rays, is one of the methods.

When bringing the baby girl back, Leo had already thought of a way to control the gamma rays on the baby girl. This method is also a kind of psionic skill, and it has already been used on the baby girl. From the effect seen now Not bad, the gamma ray intensity on the baby girl has been weakened to one-tenth, and the particularity of little Tolan's own blood makes this intensity of gamma rays just have a certain impact on little Tolan, It won't hurt little Tolan.

In addition, Leo wanted to keep the baby girl by his side, and also hoped to find out the mystery of the origin of the mysterious power and gamma rays in the baby girl.
