Chapter 211: Alien powers, disputes, haze-sucking teenagers.

[World Randomized Choice Generation in Progress

Randomization complete. Transmitting to World Line 7301.

Chi Xiaochi opened her eyes at the familiar sound of a mechanical voice.

The entry point was the original owner's hands tied tightly to her chest by the snow-white bondage suit of a heavy psychopath.

This scenario comes as no surprise to Chi Xiaochi.

He asked, "Brother, what is the level of this world?"

Lou Ying was a bit tempted to laugh at his "brother" with a little bit of a sniffle, but once he read the world line, he couldn't laugh any more.

Chi Xiaochi had a hunch, "S?"

Lou Ying : "...... Yes."

Chi Xiaochi calmly said, "Your boss's dad blew up."

He rolled his eyes and looked around, while adding, "No offense to him, just that his dad blew up."

The original owner is in a small capsule like a cold, his body is plastered with all kinds of instruments, and his head is wearing a ring-shaped helmet fixed on the bulkhead, which is stuck on the original owner's whole head from behind, making him unable to move his head, and as long as it is shaken a little bit, a pain similar to that of a pinprick comes from his temple.

Body data suspended on the walls of the chamber, blood pressure, temperature, heart rate, blood temperature, blood consistency, real-time quantities of a certain class A globulin, make Chi Xiaochi feel like he's terminally ill.

The capsule is transparent, so Chi Xiaochi can see that there are nine other capsules in the same confined space as him.

As far as could be determined from the occasional bumps in the vehicle, they would have been in the back of a running vehicle.

However, he was somewhat concerned that the air as far as he could see was extremely murky, like a haze, with tiny particles strewn about the air, so dirty that one could not help but frown.

He raised his eyes and looked across the room.

Across the street was a young man who was eating candy.

He had a hard candy-like object in his mouth, which he juggled with his tongue.

Chi Xiaochi saw on his cabin the words "Wei XVI", which should be his name.

After meeting Chi Xiaochi's eyes, Wei XVI raised an eyebrow and vaguely opened his mouth in greeting, "Hey."

Chi Xiaochi nodded in response.

Wei XVI glanced at his name tag and said with interest, "Brother, what are you?"

Chi Xiaochi : ...... Wait a minute, I'll check what I am.

This time there was nothing in the way, and it didn't take a second for the worldline to start importing.

......

At first, the world was as it should be.

Until one day, in some TOEFL test center, there were two identical papers.

The thundering rolls appear in the front and back seats.

The five members of the Disciplinary Committee jointly accessed the CCTV of the examination room on that day and found that there was nothing unusual about the girl in the front seat, who was just looking down and answering questions.

And oddly enough, the people in the backseat didn't cross the line in any way, keeping their hands on the desktop at all times, with no opportunity to use their cell phones or any probing or mingling of heads.

The committee replayed the footage several times and confirmed that he was using the most common stationery and there was no sign of any use of high-tech cheating tools.

...... If anything must be said about it, he's just staring at the backs of front rowers for long periods of time.

The committee suspected that Lehman might just be a coincidence, but just in case, they invited the man in the backseat and politely tried to talk to him.

The guy in that backseat was a high school student, and as soon as he entered the room, faced with a group of adults wearing committee badges and suits on their chests, and sat down in the lone chair that was set up in the center of the room, his legs and stomach began to tremble, and his face went pale and he stammered.

The head of the committee was an experienced man, and seeing that the situation was not right, he immediately cooled his face and assumed the posture of a forced questioner.

In less than a few back and forth, the high school student was so scared that he confessed directly, stammered and confessed that he had cheated, and promised that he would only do it this once and never do it again.

The head of the committee asked him, "How did you do it?"

The high school student said, "I can see her roll."

The head of the committee tapped his pen solemnly, "I know you can see. How do you see?"

He said, "I saw it through her body."

Several members of the committee looked at each other for a while and laughed.

One of the female members said, "Then please demonstrate for us how you 'see'."

The high schooler took off his glasses a little nervously and looked to the member on the far left, "There's a price tag on the back of the chair you're sitting in that hasn't been torn off. It says '$310'."

The member was surprised and turned back to look at the back of the chair, and there it was.

The second man sitting next to him shook his head, not convinced.

A few people were sitting in swivel chairs, so he couldn't say that he had just peeked in.

The second man wrote an English word in pencil on the white paper in front of him, clipped it in a blue folder, closed the folder again and held it up to him, "What does it say?"

The high schooler frowned for a moment.

The second person had just smiled a sarcastic "I knew it" smile when he heard the high schooler say, "IDIOT."

The second man's smile froze on his face.

The high school student looked at him in this manner, and some pleasure grew in his heart, and he was no longer so afraid of the few adults in front of him.

He grinned, "You were showing it to me upside down, so it took me a while to read it, sorry about that Oh. ...... By the way, that O is hanging right over your liver."

With that said, he took it upon himself to look at a third person, "You smoke, don't you? Right ...... no, in your case left, the left lobe of the lung has a large black spot on it, like one of those rotten lungs from our biology textbooks."

The third man frowned, "I never smoked."

The high school student said, "Then you can go get a physical."

The fourth person is the commissioner.

The high schooler looked him up and down, light in his eyes.

The shocked and wary looks of the adults made him more and more excited.

Ever since waking up one morning and suddenly being able to see the steel structure inside the wall, the high school student has kept the incident hidden from the world, not wanting anyone to know about it and conveniently using it for cheating.

He had thought it was a serious matter, but he hadn't expected the reactions of the others to be so amusing when it was revealed.

However, after some scrutiny, he realized that the commissioner didn't mean anything, so he smacked his lips and said casually, "You have a plate of pills in your pocket for your stomach, and you've taken twelve of them, and there are six left."

Finally, it was the turn of the woman who had first suggested that he should "demonstrate".

The high schooler looked at her a few times and smirked, "...... You're wearing pink underwear and black and white striped panties today."

The price for the end of the incident was that he was banned from taking any future TOEFL exams.

He doesn't mind this anymore, getting the press and claiming to be the one with the powers.

...... Without the glasses covering him, he was able to see through any object, including bank vault level walls that couldn't block his vision. But there was a limit, he could only use his perspective for a cumulative total of two hours a day. If he used it for too long, his eyes would become dehydrated and in severe pain to the point of temporary blindness.

When he had demonstrated his skills, the TV station made a special program for him.

He made over a hundred thousand dollars and made his name known to the world.

Luo Shouyi.

Luo Shouyi, the first sinner of the Shifters, betrayed the secret of the existence of the Shifters because of a hundred thousand dollars.

Lured by money, a second alien appears.

He has the ability to levitate out of thin air, albeit only for five minutes at a time.

With the second, there was a third.

Gradually, the science and technology departments of various countries caught a whiff of something unusual.

All the related programs that promoted the Alterans were called off one after another, and all the Alterans who had disclosed their identities so far were invited to the relevant institutions, had their blood drawn and tested, and were asked by the authorities to stay in their local areas and not to leave their regions at will.

It was only after authorities began investigating that they realized things were unusually difficult.

The number of aliens, is slowly climbing.

Alien energy people are all randomly awakened, there is currently no pattern found, it has nothing to do with genes, and preliminary tests do not show any contagiousness or heredity, and alien energy people's appearance and body shape will not change too significantly. The only difference is that when a psychic uses their psychic abilities, the amount of a certain class A globulin in their blood will far exceed that of normal people by a horrifying amount.

This also means that this "mutation syndrome" cannot be prevented, cannot be predicted, and anyone can become an alien.

The following year, the States' Abnormal Human Management Acts came out.

Just the name caused the first wave of protests from the alien.

And after clarifying what was contained within the Management Act, it created a furor among the Alterans.

Article 1 of the Abnormal Human Management Law, all awakened aberrations cannot violate all existing laws, including the Constitution, Criminal Code, Aviation Law, and so on.

Article 2, the alien must go to the relevant organization to submit the detailed information on the alien ability he or she possesses, as well as all personal information, including information on the upper and lower three generations, and each alien will have a complete database, and from the date of submitting the information, he or she must come to update the information on a regular basis every year.

The authorities have set up a perfect Skynet device, making a large number of hard-to-break titanium collars and anklets that can monitor the alien's every move in real time.

On the inside of the collar are miniature syringes with injections that are thick enough to numb a buffalo, conveniently able to anesthetize treacherous shifters at any time.

Rule number three, an alien cannot break the collar.

Rule number four, the alien may not use special means to block the collar in any way.

Article 5, when an alien leaves the local area and travels outside the area, he or she needs to apply for a permit to pass from the local department.

That's just the first five.

When this motion was still under discussion, a member of Parliament A of a certain country proposed that the name, age and home address of the alien should be indicated on the collar, so as to give normal human beings the greatest degree of peace of mind.

A Councilor B who had awakened his psychic abilities immediately objected, "What you said about 'normal humans' is a great insult to us. We are also humans."

Councilman A sneered back, "Yeah, that's why I call you 'abnormal humans'. Positive and abnormal is just a neutral term."

Mr. B argued with reason: "Such word games are meaningless. After the words 'positive' and 'different', there is the word 'regular'. Such a nomenclature is naked discrimination. We have normal human feelings and emotions in addition to our supernormal abilities, and the legislation cannot deprive us of the rights and interests of a normal life; we cannot be treated as prisoners."

"Discrimination? If we give up our constraints on you, you will be entitled to your moral rights and interests, who will be able to protect our personal rights and interests?" Councilor A calmly said, "You can guarantee that you won't commit crimes yourself, but can you go and guarantee others? Alien people are like gun holders, or the gun of invisibility. We can only protect our own safety if we hold our guns equally well."

Councilor B stood up, swept the glass of water in front of Councilor A, and after a few moments of wanting to say something, frowned, "Mr. Edward, I hope you'd better not become an 'abnormal human' in the future."

Councilman A was unimpressed and sneered, "If that day ever comes, I will kill myself immediately."

In the next second, the glass of water in front of Councilor A's eyes suddenly exploded, splashing hot water and debris in all directions, scalding Councilor A with a gasp.

In the midst of the chaos, Councilman B straightened his tie and left the meeting with his head bowed.

Congressman A's angry voice came from behind him, "Look at that! You guys take a look! This is the Alterans! This is what they will do when left unchecked!"

Councilman B turned away without looking back.

One of the backroom staff who did the field service followed him out, trailing behind him at the same pace.

Councilman B stopped, looked back at him, and got right to the point: "You can manipulate water"

The logistician was a bit rattled, "Yes ...... Mr. Bailey, how are you? ......"

Councilman B nodded the underside of his right eyelid, "I can see how others use their powers. I saw that Edward's glass of water turned red."

The logistician mumbled, "Edward is so hateful, I just wanted to teach him a lesson ......"

Councilman B sighed and turned away.

He stepped out of the council chambers, the remnants of white trails left by airplanes skidding by in the clear tile-blue sky.

Everything in sight is a scene of immense peace and calm beauty.

He gazed greedily at the sight before him, raised one hand and stroked his eyes, muttering to himself, "...... Is this the price to pay for freedom."

A waiting reporter spotted him and rushed quickly with camera raised.

The sight of him gouging out his own eyes in silence was recorded in full in the running camera.

The country finally failed to pass Congressman A's proposal after a certain alien congressman offered his eyes in protest.

However, all information about the alien is registered inside the collar, and authorized units can purchase scanners to scan the collar around the alien's neck to see if he or she has any criminal information.

The store put up a sign saying "No Alien Entry" because an alien could remove the magnetic stripe from the merchandise, become invisible, levitate, and steal at will.

The "Alien Man" is a big-headed alien with a bright red cross under the "No Pets Allowed" dog icon, which stands out.

The ancient curfew system was revived after deliberation.

Once it is nine o'clock at night, the streets are empty.

There were fliers of the Alien March protest being swept up by the wind and fluttering up and down like paper money.

Alters became a mainstream social phenomenon, and even a social anxiety.

There are those who want to dominate the world and believe that the supernaturals are the direction of human evolution; there are those who want to live in peace and stability, who want to fight for more rights and interests of survival or barely survive in the cracks; and there are even law enforcers who are dedicated to helping human beings to maintain order, and who hope that the supernaturals will not be discriminated against because of the individual malcontents in the group as a whole.

As for people, attitudes are even more varied.

Some people crazily aspire to be an alien, thinking it's cool, and the pills issued by the relevant authorities that can inhibit the production of class A globulin are dumped into the gutter by them; some people are anxious and uneasy, believing that they may be transformed into aliens at any time, and so they take pills while making appeals to fight for the rights and interests of the aliens; some people are the faction of the fear of the aliens, resolutely boycotting the existence of the aliens, believing that the power is a source of breeding for the evils, and so suffering from the taking of the pills. Anxiety.

The example most often cited by the xenophobic faction is that first xenophile discovered, high school student Luo Shouyi, who became an accomplice in a bank robbery five years later.

Facing the camera, he has long since lost his youthfulness, and said wildly, "You can't shut me down, I can see everything about you.

After the rate of open crimes committed by the Alterans climbed by the day, some people even called for the execution of Alterans who hid their abilities and refused to report them, on the grounds that Alterans were constantly awakening all the time, and that if they hid their identities and hid amongst the population, they would be an untimely time bomb.

The truth is that there are many who hide it.

In the words of the protesters, "We are not dogs!"

It's true that society is calling for the protection of the rights of the aliens nice.

But who wants to take the risk of hiring an alien?

Who would want to enter into a marriage with an alien, where not only do they have to go through the tedious process of entering information once a year, but even their offspring are included in the observation program?

Who wants to be discriminated against, to wear a collar, to be exposed to the gaze of others in any action from now on, to be subjected to the wary gaze of others even when bending down to tie a shoelace?

There are countless criminals in the world, and the crime rate of normal people is far greater than that of psychics, so why should psychics be assumed to be criminals?

What's more, why should some of the aberrations awakened by some aberrations cause any harm to bystanders at all, and why should they be subjected to a sweeping treatment?

The treatment of concealing one's powers varies from country to country.

Some countries are more tolerant and actively call for the protection of the privacy of the Empaths, and some will even take the initiative to welcome the Empaths to come and settle in their homelands, report their respective Empathic abilities, engage in specialized work for the country, and settle marriages.

But these are ultimately the minority.

There are countries that do their best to oppose the existence of heteropaths, treating those who are willing to wear collars fairly well, and adopting extreme iron-blooded policies towards those who, for various reasons, are unwilling to wear collars, expelling, imprisoning, and even treating them as objects of play and entertainment, and claiming that those who conceal have no human rights.

Most of the countries, on the other hand, while ostensibly saying "no support, no opposition", are in fact secretly supporting the opposing countries.

The original owner lived in a country that did everything in its power to oppose the existence of the Shifter.

Why is he stuck here?

It's only because one day he awakened a very unrelated skill, and thus hid his status as a shifter to avoid wearing a collar.

--He felt that the air around him was weighted and covered with a haze that weighed him down so much that he didn't even make the passing line for the 1000 meters of his gym test.
