Chapter 8. The return of knowledge and ability

"What's the matter?"

In a daze.

Rosetta raised her head and looked into the mirror, only to see a piece of iron-gray dim light hidden deep in her pupils, turning her pupils into a color that was essentially the same as that of Ishiizaki and Tsukiyama.

The real husband, and even the corpse dog, are completely different, different from their original eye colors!

It is completely different from the fleeting moments in the past.

This time, the strange color was completely fixed in his eyes.

——It is the same iron-grey color as the sky of this world.

This change seemed to indicate that Rosetta was far away from the world of common sense. He looked in the mirror and remained silent for two or three minutes before he felt that some restlessness in his empty heart slowly calmed down, and he was finally able to look at it calmly.

This inexplicable change in myself.

There is no doubt that this is directly related to what happened tonight.

But there were also many abnormal signs that had appeared on his body long before that.

Rosetta recalled the experience of the past few hours tonight, constantly thinking and eliminating impossible options, until in the end, only a feeling called 'death' was left, dragging his entire consciousness.

Gradually it began to sink, and then he returned to a certain state again, feeling that those emotions on the surface had become extremely distant.

No sadness, no joy, no anger.

It's like watching the life of 'Rosetta' from a third-person perspective.

In the feeling of falling endlessly, he watched his memory continue to rewind to the past, and felt that pieces of his acquired shell composed of thoughts, memories, ideologies, etc. were peeling off and shattered from his body.

Falling into the lightless abyss.

Who was I before I was born?

Who am I after I die?

'Rosetta''s life went back to the original moment, and he returned to the original mother's womb. Then, he gradually recalled his death as another 'Rosetta' in the parallel world.

[Among the ancient myths and legends of many regions,

Most of them have a plot similar to that after death and returning from the underworld, one can obtain supernatural powers.

Achilles was lifted up by his mother and immersed in the River Styx, thus acquiring divinity that was invulnerable to all things.

Followers of the Orphic Esoteric Cult believe that asceticism and asceticism in this life can lead to purification and sublimation of the soul through the trials of the underworld after death, so that they can be with the gods.

The alchemists of the Qin and Han Dynasties believed that committing suicide with a sword could shed the old body and become an immortal.

Tantric monks bury themselves alive underground with the intention of becoming a Buddha.

These stories that have been passed down to this day all seem to illustrate one thing - that is, after experiencing death and returning from the Underworld, one can acquire the abilities above and beyond.

In modern times, such people who come back from the edge of death are called ‘resurrectionists’ and ‘superpowers’…]

Burning, stinging.

Along with such a large amount of abnormal knowledge that Rosetta had never remembered before, it appeared in her mind for no reason.

As a 'resurrectionist' who is born to walk on the edge of death, it is like some kind of innate instinct that is finally recalled in this constant 'fall'.

Suddenly, Rosetta, who had fallen to a limit, found that her consciousness had regained the ability to breathe in this lightless abyss.

As if an infinite moment is eternity, everything in the physical world is abstracted from perception.

At that moment, an iron-gray dim light suddenly lit up in Rosetta's eyes, and with an ability that was completely different from common sense, some incredible scene, like going back in time, appeared on him.

The awakening of superpowers itself will have the effect of repairing damage and strengthening the body.

But the phenomenon that occurred to Rosetta at this moment was completely different from that kind of thing.

'Repair' refers to repairing something from a damaged state to making it whole again, but the phenomenon that occurred in Rosetta is more like a person who was awakened from birth, and the power called 'psionic power' was naturally remembered.

His body was in its most intact state. He reached into the gap in time and reset his body's state to that moment through 'recollection'.

There is no reason for it.

Inexplicably, Rosetta suddenly understood that the power she had awakened from her soul seemed to be related to 'memory' and 'memory'.

The 'common sense' that naturally appeared in his mind as he awakened told him.

The effect of 'superpower' is related to the original cause of death of the reborn person. It is essentially an avoidance mechanism for certain causes of death.

And ‘psionic energy’.

It is a certain obsession that transcends death and is born in the spirit.

Rosetta guessed that he didn't want to forget the memories of his previous life, which might be the reason why he was born with this 'psionic power' awakened.

So when the previous memories were gradually recalled as he grew up, and then received the stimulation of external crises, it was logical that his consciousness, which had been on the verge of awakening, would naturally 'recall' the spiritual energy that had been forgotten by his instinct.

His insomnia and abnormal food intake also stemmed from this.

Because his psychic energy, which is on the verge of awakening, keeps him in a state of 'memorizing' all information at all times and cannot fall asleep normally, so this extra consumption needs to be made up by extra food.

‘...Is that why Ishiizaki is targeting me? Judging from the feeling he gives me, he should also be a person with powers similar to me?’

Recalling her previous trip to the prison, Rosetta suddenly thought through many details.

The eyes of the 'corpse dog' that attacked him were scarlet, but after he awakened his psychic powers, his eyes turned iron gray.

Based on this logic, it can be deduced that the reason why Ishiizaki wears sunglasses is to cover up his abnormal eye color as a superpower?

Rosetta wasn't sure, because he could control whether the 'strange color' appeared in his pupils.

But... from another point of view, if the above inference is true, then the strange color in his pupils cannot be extinguished and he needs to wear sunglasses to hide Ishiizaki, which makes him look even more special.

"Forget it, there's not enough information to be sure."

Feeling the throbbing pain in her mind, Rosetta sighed silently, and with the exhalation of this breath, the accumulated fatigue in her spirit suddenly surged up.

Although psychic energy is something 'beyond common sense', it is not a panacea after all.

At this moment, his body was in the most energetic state, but his consciousness was extremely groggy and sleepy because of the experience this night.

This contradictory feeling was absolutely uncomfortable. He could only stop thinking temporarily, moved his body to the bed with difficulty, and then allowed himself to be completely engulfed by uncontrollable fatigue.

In a sudden long dream.

Rosetta finally found a rare peace in her heart.

-

"Good morning, good morning, this is Ping An Ant River."

"Now we have an urgent news break. At about 6:13 last night, the No. 3 Prison in Yichuan City, located on the outskirts of the city, was attacked. An explosion occurred inside. It is suspected that the escaped prisoners cooperated with the attackers."

"After a high-level meeting at the Yichuan City Police Department overnight, they arrived in time at 7 a.m. and controlled the fire in the prison. However, some serious criminals still escaped and escaped. Please be sure to go to work on time, pay attention to your personal safety, and do not use

Company property was damaged."

amidst the irritating sound coming from the television.

Rosetta has been up for a while, and her day starts from here.

I finished washing up and had a simple breakfast as usual.

The emergence of psychic power did not bring much change to Rosetta's daily life. At most, it made him spend some more time to find the contact lenses he didn't know where to bring with him just in case.

On the body.

The time soon came to around seven o'clock in the morning.

After watching the morning news of the new day in Yichuan City, Rosetta also turned off the TV.

Obtaining information through news channels, he already knew that his murder had not been discovered yet - or that it had been ignored and covered up because of the major incident of prison escape.

But not long after I left, a prison break occurred...

Combined with the fact that she was attacked by a corpse dog, Rosetta vaguely realized that there was an invisible connection between the two incidents. It was very likely that they were from the same group of people, or to be more precise, it was Ishiizaki who was suspected of being a superpower.

What people do.

No evidence is needed, because this guy gave Rosetta the feeling that he was so dangerous. If he planned a jailbreak, Rosetta would never doubt him.

Dude, dunk, dunk.

Her fingers tapping on the table unconsciously, Rosetta thought further.

If 'planning a prison break' was the original purpose of Ishiizaki's coming to the prison, then meeting me should be a simple accidental episode. This means that it is just because of my being on the verge of awakening.

Psychic', he noticed me.

'It's just a casual relationship, but you can think of sending someone to kill me...Tsk, is there something wrong with this guy's brain?'

After realizing this, Rosetta took a deep breath.

He calmly walked over and opened the window to let in the cool air after the rain, which would make him feel more comfortable.

In Yingzhou, a country that is in a period of chaos caused by economic recession.

It is no longer a rare thing for someone to die at the hands of some inexplicable murderer. It is not commonplace, but at least it is commonplace.

Look at this from a slightly ironic perspective.

At least God ordered Rosetta to have the qualifications to awaken spiritual energy, and successfully dealt with the attacking 'corpse dogs', sitting here instead of randomly and unfortunately dying like many other deceased people.

A well-known corner.

Thinking about it this way, Rosetta felt that she was quite lucky.

At least he is not dead yet, and he has gradually mastered what he is chasing.'

What's even more fortunate is that he and Ishiizakito just have a "fate". Maybe there are some deeper conspiracies behind him who planned the jailbreak, but at least for now, he has not been able to escape in a short period of time.

In a short period of time, relying on a little information, the ability to find his whereabouts so quickly.

Think of this.

Rosetta finally felt a little better.

Lifting his palm, he looked at the clear and distinct muscle outlines on his arm. The injuries he suffered yesterday were hard to find on it. Until now, he felt even more how wonderful "psionic energy" is, which can be used to such a degree.

The injuries disappeared in a short time.

Even though I haven't had the chance to go to the hospital for a thorough physical examination yet.

But comparing with the past situation, he can still feel that after experiencing spiritual awakening, his physical fitness has also been strengthened as a whole, returning to the theoretically ideal health state.

Tick.

Rosetta stretched out her hand to catch a drop of residual rain dripping from the corner of the eaves, and looked at herself from the water in her palm.

Not far away, under the shadow of the building, near the telephone pole, two or three sparrows or crows were pecking at the ground. Even if they felt the sight of people, they did not panic, but looked up at Rosetta indifferently.

After a while, it fluttered its wings and climbed up into the leaden sky.

Looking at this scene, because the soul bound by gravity was so heavy, he suddenly had a strong urge to jump out of the window and fly into the sky with these birds.

But in the end, he didn't do it after all. Maybe it was his material body that trapped him on the ground.

Jingle Bell.

At this moment, a disturbing sound suddenly sounded.

——This is a summons call from the Yichuan City Police Department.
