Chapter three hundred and seventy-ninth [selected]
Chapter 379 [The Chosen One]
The man and the cat looked at each other across the window sill for a while. Chen Nuo smiled, turned back to the bed and lay half-ly on the head of the bed.
The gray cat jumped lightly and skillfully, but jumped directly in from the window sill, jumped onto the bed, then spun around twice before lying on Chen Nuo's hand.
Chen Nuo smiled, stretched out his hand, and stroked the cat.
The guy immediately narrowed his eyes and made a comfortable purring sound from his mouth.
It feels good to pet a cat for a while, and it feels good to pet a cat all the time.
"I've been back for three days, and it feels like you've been avoiding me?" Chen Nuo gently flicked the gray cat's forehead with his finger.
"Meow~"
"Don't deny it, it's obviously there." Chen Nuo snorted: "I don't see you most of the day. Occasionally, when I go to bed at night, I hear you sneaking down from the roof to eat."
"Meow……"
Chen Nuo flicked the cat's head again: "Speak humanly."
After a pause, he shook his head and said, "Everyone in the family is asleep, so there's no need to worry about scaring anyone."
The gray cat lowered his head and remained silent.
Chen Nuo thought for a while: "Are you afraid that I will ask you some questions that you can't answer?"
"…………"
"Can't answer? Or don't want to? Or don't dare?"
The gray cat raised two paws in surrender, then covered his face: "Stop asking, don't ask."
Chen Nuo's fingers touched the back of the gray cat's neck, and his two fingers gently pinched the skin on the gray cat's back neck.
"Originally, I didn't want to rush to ask you any questions.
The origin of your cat is too suspicious, and you hide a lot of secrets. But I thought before that you finally have no hostility or malice towards me, and you don’t want to harm me. Keeping you by my side and watching you slowly can always slow down
Learn more slowly.
But this time I went out, I encountered some things, and I felt more and more that this world was too dangerous. So..."
The gray cat showed its eyes from the gap between its claws and asked pitifully: "So you don't want to be a cat owner anymore?"
Chen Nuo smiled and said nothing.
This cat... is so suspicious.
·
Back in the Brazilian rainforest, when there were several fierce battles in the world of ruins, this gray cat looked the weakest, and it seemed that he had been tricked by Chen Nuo many times.
The so-called companion offering sacrifices to heaven has boundless power. This gray cat was tricked by Chen Xiaowu no less than three times.
But thinking about it on the other hand, this also just shows that every time, this gray cat will appear in the most critical place by coincidence.
The battle in the ruins world was very brutal.
So many ability users died in the end.
The sea monster known as the first person under the controller died, and the golden bird with golden blood died.
Among the monks, Bonfrey, the wizard's right-hand man, also died.
As a result, this seemingly mediocre gray cat escaped with him in the end. He always appeared in the most correct and critical place.
Coupled with this guy's bizarre origins...
I originally thought it was a human, and its ability might be transfiguration, turning it into a cat.
But later I discovered that this guy was actually a cat, not a human who transformed into a cat...
a cat?
A cat that has lived for thousands of years...no, "at least" thousands of years.
It can also bring strange gifts to cat owners.
Thinking along this line of thinking, after I was in Brazil, I came back and experienced body snatching and then I woke up.
The space of consciousness is riddled with holes and seventeen cracks.
When you are at your wits end, how do you find a way to fix it?
The first person to have a spiritual connection is the gray cat!
Combined with the mental power of the gray cat, completed 1/17!
This gave Chen Nuo a very clear method and direction for repair.
From this point of view...
There was no doubt that it was the gray cat, and Chen Nuo discovered this method by chance.
still……
Is it guiding itself consciously?
Another very important thing is.
Chen Nuo discovered very early that the gray cat stayed by his side and liked to suck it away. Due to the cracks in his consciousness space, he usually lost some of his spiritual power unintentionally.
It seems that this is a great benefit that the gray cat seeks by staying by his side.
"I can continue to be your master, or I can continue to feed you with my spiritual power.
But... you have to let me see some real benefits, right?"
As he spoke, Chen Nuo put a finger in front of the cat's nose, and then pulled out a faint but pure spiritual power from the conscious space, slowly emerging from the fingertips.
The gray cat's eyes immediately lit up, and the cat's nose worked hard to move forward, sniffing happily and greedily.
After that faint spiritual power was sucked into the nose by the gray cat, the gray cat shivered comfortably, and then his body softened lazily, and he leaned on Chen Nuo's palm with a chubby face.
The cat's face purred slightly, and a comfortable purring sound came out of its mouth.
But Chen Nuo immediately cut off the flow of mental power.
The gray cat raised its eyelids helplessly and looked at Chen Nuo pitifully.
finally……
"I'll ask you a few simple questions first. You answer me first, and then I can consider keeping you temporarily."
The gray cat thought carefully and nodded slowly.
"Where are you from?" Chen Nuo asked, and then immediately said: "Stop saying you don't remember anything, and don't say you are just a cat. Cats can't live for thousands of years!"
The gray cat was silent for a while, and then, this time, it answered.
"There was a very intense and very brutal game.
A lot of really cool guys are participating.
I'm very timid and don't dare to compete with other guys, so I've been avoiding it.
But as they dodge, more and more people participating in the competition die, and fewer and fewer are left.
Then, I somehow got into the finals...
I am also very distressed and I am also very scared.”
Chen Nuo listened, frowned and asked, "What then?"
"Then...I was afraid that I would die, so I gave up."
Chen Nuo's eyes were serious: "What on earth is that...what kind of competition?"
The gray cat sighed.
"A competition to compete for the highest status of life, the ultimate status, the highest existence, omniscience, omnipotence, the head of all things, no matter in terms of the form of life, the width of life, the length of life, the existence of life, it is unique
Competition for position..."
"Can there be only one final winner?"
The gray cat raised his head and glanced at Chen Nuo: "I told you it is unique."
"Can't the two winners be tied?"
The gray cat lowered his head and thought about it seriously, then shook his head firmly: "No."
"what happens?"
"There can only be one, and there can only be one in that position, otherwise it will violate the rules."
"Who makes the rules?"
The gray cat raised his head and looked at the sky outside the window.
There is a moon and stars in the sky.
Chen Nuo also followed the gray cat's gaze and stared at the sky outside the window for a while.
Then, he asked: "So..."
"I've already talked about the simple questions. Your questions are getting more and more complicated, and the more difficult they are..." The gray cat scratched his head in distress: "I remember very little, and every time I think about these things, I get very nervous.
tired.
Every time I recall these things, I feel very tired and exhausted...
I have a feeling that if I recall too much, think too much...
I will die."
"Then the last question!" Chen Nuo looked at the gray cat closely.
The gray cat was frightened, shrank his head, and his breath was very weak: "...Okay, really, this is the last one."
Chen Nuo sighed, he felt that the gray cat really didn't lie this time.
It seems to be really hard to recall the answers, and I don't know why.
Actually, there are two questions that Chen Nuo wants to ask:
One is: What does Gray Cat mean by "abstention".
However, after thinking about it for a while, Chen Nuo gave up on this question and chose to ask another one.
"What happened to the Chosen One?"
The gray cat's eyes widened with a lifeless look on his face: "This... this is too complicated. If you talk too much, I will die..."
"Then try to say what you can."
The gray cat twisted its body uneasily, and then looked around shrinkingly as if afraid of something, and then stared at the sky outside the window for a long time.
Finally, it spoke.
“The competition is so fierce.
At the beginning, everyone competed by killing each other. Everyone thought that after killing all the other competitors, the only one left would naturally be the winner.
The result is...you kill me, I'll kill you...
So many died.
But later, everyone discovered that the game was actually not like this.
There is a very critical problem that has not been solved, even if you kill all your competitors, it will be useless.
So, the strongest ones, after killing all the remaining competitors, sat down and decided to change the way of the game.
This competition method is to solve the most critical problems."
"What game?"
“Find a suitable target of your choice and place your bet on the opponent.
The target who is bet will be called the ‘chosen one’.”
The chosen ones are all selected from thousands of people, and they are the ones who are most promising to solve that key problem!"
Chen Nuo’s eyes were stern!
Solving key issues…
That... "one"!! Solve the final loophole in the evolution of the mother body!
Become... something that is delicious and delicious when mature, and can make up for its shortcomings after being eaten...
tomato!
·
Chen Nuo roughly digested what Gray Cat said.
A group of competitors...roughly, some seeds.
A few seeds like West Germany are determined to become the mother body.
The seeds discovered the biggest flaw after evolving into the mother body, which was the fatal flaw in the rules of evolution, so they stopped fighting each other.
Everyone's goal has become to find that "one".
The way to search is for each seed to find a "little tomato" among humans that it thinks is the most delicious and has the most potential.
Finally, when the tomato is ripe, eat it in one bite, hoping that this tomato can make up for its flaws.
"Then, whose chosen one am I?" Chen Nuo asked.
Gray Cat: "Scare!!! I can't say this, this, this... I don't dare!"
The lazy cat suddenly went up and hugged Chen Nuo's arm, wailing loudly: "I can't say it, I really can't say it!
If I say too much, other competitors will think that I will no longer abstain and that I will re-enter the competition...
Then I will die! I will definitely be killed!"
Chen Nuo was suddenly shocked!
He stared at the gray cat and said slowly word by word: "I already understand.
I am……
West Germany’s chosen one, right?”
Gray cat: “…………”
It was stiff for a while, then suddenly trembled and plunged into the bed, its fat body shivering, a pair of paws holding its head pitifully: "I didn't say, I didn't say, I didn't say anything...
"

Sid and Fox were sitting on the sofa in front of the TV. Fox was bored and pressed the remote control, changing channels rapidly.
Finally, I stopped at a news station, and then I was attracted by the news and read it carefully.
In the news, a guy from his country who just won a huge lottery ticket was holding up a huge check on the TV station with great joy.
"One, two, three, four, five, six...seven zeros. Nine million dollars." Fox sighed with envy: "This guy is really lucky."
As she said that, the girl looked back at West Germany: "Tell me, how could there be such a strange thing in the world."
"What's weird?"
"A person can get a huge reward without putting in any work or hard work." The little girl's tone was full of confusion, but of course she was more envious.
Sid stared at the lucky guy on the TV for a while and sighed: "There are even stranger things."
"Stranger? What?"
"You've obviously never bought a lottery ticket, and you've obviously never placed a bet.
But this lottery ticket just flew into your hand, and then, when you looked at the lottery ticket, you actually had your own name on it, and it was indeed your autograph.
However, you just don’t remember that you made a bet, and you don’t remember that you did all this. You don’t even know when you made this bet...
What’s interesting is that this lottery ticket seems to have a very high probability of winning!
Do you think this is strange?"
"..."
Fox frowned and looked at West Germany for a long time.
Then, the little girl sighed: "Sid, you are saying something I don't understand again."
Sid smiled and suddenly stood up from the sofa: "Let's go!"
"where to?"
"Go buy a lottery ticket. I feel like you are envious of this guy who won the lottery after reading this news.
So, let’s go buy lottery tickets!”
Fox rolled his eyes at him: "Winning the lottery? It's very difficult!"
"I am God, you can make a wish to God."
Fox's eyelids rolled, and she immediately jumped up from the sofa excitedly: "Can you really make a wish?"
"real!"
"good!"
Without hesitation, Fox clasped his hands together, closed his eyes towards West Germany, and thought silently in his heart for a while.
After opening his eyes, Fox smiled and pulled Sid: "Let's go, let's go!"
·
Two hours later, at the lottery counter in the supermarket, Fox looked at the lottery tickets and cash in front of him with a frustrated look.
Sid frowned: "You won the lottery. Why are you not happy?"
"But, it's just a little bit." Fox sighed, but his tone was very strange.
West Germany shook his head: "The lottery on TV requires you to buy it and wait for a long time before the prize is drawn, and the prize amount is huge.
The lottery we bought is instant and scratch-off, and the amount is not that big."
After a pause, Sid smiled and said: "We spent six hundred pesos and won more than twenty thousand pesos, which is already pretty good."
"Okay." Fox nodded helplessly.
"Twenty thousand pesos, let's go buy some cookies. The kind with frosting." Sid smiled and took the lead to the dessert area.
Fox walked behind West Germany with a gloomy expression, looking at this guy's back.
What a nasty guy...
The content of my wish is not about winning the lottery at all...
