human journey

Chapter 5 The Truth
The study manual is full of pictures and texts. Lu Yu's memory is very good now, and he can remember all the content after reading it once. Most of Lu Yu's questions are explained in it.

The reason why they are called awakeners is that their potential abilities are released due to external stimuli.These abilities have always been in the body, and they are not changed by the outside world.

Although Lu Yu had already guessed that it wasn't a mouse that bit him to mutate, he was relieved to see this explanation, and finally officially confirmed that he was not a mouse man.

This external stimulus is currently only found to be attacked by a big rat, or close contact.However, the proportion of awakened people who were contacted or attacked was still very small, and most of them were killed.There are also a small number of awakening potentials who were killed before they had time to show their abilities.

Lu Yu thought about the danger of the first time he came into contact with a big rat, and he took it for granted.

These big rats are currently code-named "Soul-Eating Rats". As the name suggests, they absorb the souls of human brains by devouring living human brains, so they attack people's heads first!
This surprised Lu Yu very much. Although people have speculated about the existence of souls since ancient times, this is the first official document to affirm the existence of souls.Lu Yu looked at the cover again, making sure it wasn't some religious brochure, so he continued to read.

Everyone's soul is extremely powerful, but most of the power is dormant.In the tens of thousands of years of human history, there may have been soul powers awakened, but that was an accidental event.It is the first time in history that such a large-scale global awakening is happening, and it is obviously the cause of the Soul Eater.

There are many kinds of awakening abilities, the most common one is physical strengthening.There are also many types of physical strengthening, such as the strength type with enhanced muscle and body strength like Dazhuang, and the speed type with enhanced movement speed and reaction.There are also functional types such as clairvoyance and shunfeng ears.

Uncommon ones include Zhang Bangliang's mind power, as well as mindfulness of high temperature, mindfulness of low temperature, and even teleportation.

Generally, it can be divided into two categories, the various strengthening of the body by the soul, and the use of the soul's ability to directly act on the outside.

Most people are one or the other, and some are both.There is no distinction between strong and weak attributes, only personal ability.

"Then what's the matter with all the abilities of my physical body becoming stronger, is it the ultimate body of the awakened body? Is it so powerful, I can't be the hero!"

Lu Yu complained inwardly, then continued to look down.

The origin of the Soul-Eating Rat is suspected to be related to the global meteorite fall three years ago, and there have been reports of the Soul-Eating Rat since then.The inspection of the crater and its surroundings has not found anything, and this is the case in all countries around the world.

After many speculations, it should be some kind of cosmic parasite brought by the meteorite, parasitic on the mouse.It seems that it only attacks humans and has no interest in other creatures.

At the beginning, the soul-eating rats only attacked people on the fringes of society such as homeless people, so they did not attract attention in the early stage.This obviously planned and organized behavior makes people doubt that they are intelligent creatures.

This kind of cosmic parasite chooses mice, which are distributed in huge numbers in cities. They are small in size and lethal, and their reproductive power is super strong, which also shows their intelligence.

Even the meteorites fell around the city, obviously not wanting to attract attention.

"Then what's going on with my home? It's obviously in the city?"

Lu Yu saw that his brows were furrowed, and the question that had been buried in his heart for several years still hadn't been answered.Read on.

About a year ago, the Soul Eater began to attack ordinary people, and these ordinary people had the potential to awaken.Judging from this, the awakening of the soul began with the appearance of the Soul Eater.

After that, the country began to notice this matter and arranged for the National Security Agency to investigate and solve it.

Their judgment on whether a person's soul has awakening potential is limited by distance, and it can only be sensed when you are close.When it senses it, it will summon nearby similar creatures to attack. The summoning method is a long-distance transmission similar to brain waves, which is currently undetectable.

"Then what's going on with me? Not only can I hear, but I also know what it means. Is this also a kind of ability? Is it the ability to analyze brain waves?"

Lu Yu frowned even deeper.look further down.

Due to the large number and wide distribution of rats in the city, they also act very carefully, so it is impossible to solve them at the root.The current method is to use a large number of surveillance cameras to monitor the streets of the city in real time.The artificial intelligence system automatically monitors and checks, and issues a warning when it sees the Soul Eater.Then our local branch of the National Security Bureau dispatches corresponding personnel to solve the problem according to the scale of the disaster.If a person with awakening potential is attacked, they will be protected first, and finally absorbed into this bureau.

The Soul Eater obviously also noticed this, and they would not haunt any place monitored by cameras.Relatively speaking, the Soul Eater is relatively stable, and there has not been any large-scale destruction of equipment or harm to personnel.Coupled with the government's control, the public did not notice this matter.

Because this is a big event that will cause public panic and social unrest, the members of the National Security Bureau are composed of awakened people and trusted and outstanding personnel in the local police station.Stability trumps everything.

. . . . . . .

After reading the study manual, many questions in Lu Yu's heart were solved, but new questions appeared.I fell into deep thought for a moment.

Zhang Bangming looked at Lu Yu's silent and frowning look, and thought that he was shocked by the truth, thinking that he looked the same after reading the manual.

When he was armed and cross-country in the wild, he was discovered and attacked by the Soul Eater. With the firearms and equipment in his hand, he broke out of the encirclement and awakened his mind.Then he joined the National Security Bureau, and with his outstanding performance in many missions, he was appointed as the deputy director of the Jianye City National Security Bureau. It is still a dream to think about it now.

There was no talking all the way, and after more than an hour, Lu Yu and the others came to a tall building with no signs on the [-]th floor somewhere in Jianye City.

"This is the headquarters of our Jianye City National Security Bureau. It not only shoulders the responsibility of protecting Jianye City, but also coordinates and supports other cities in Jiangnan Province. The test and evaluation will take a few days. I will take you to find a room to stay first."

After all, Zhang Bangming led Lu Yu into this heavily guarded building. As far as he could see, the security personnel in the lobby on the first floor were all armed with live ammunition.There is no receptionist, only a full set of security equipment, and various elevators and stairs.

Zhang Bangming and Lu Yu went through the security check together, and then took the elevator to the top floor of the building.

"Any room without a door plate is an empty room. You can choose one. This is a temporary ID card. At noon, you take this card and go to the next floor. That floor is the cafeteria. You have to eat and rest for a while. The test will be arranged in the afternoon. I still have something to do, so I'm leaving first."

After Zhang Bangming left, Lu Yu found an empty room, put away his luggage, and looked around.

"The style is similar to the big and powerful one, but it has no windows and is still on the top floor. It seems that because the soul-eating rat has a limited detection range, it is safer to arrange it this way. Maybe you can also go to the top of the building to take a helicopter and make a quick attack."
