Xu Ruian nodded after hearing this and said: "What you said is indeed true, but this is only the official statement. In this process, there are many more chaotic and evil existences. Back then, we humans were forced by ghosts to do nothing but Huddled in a small base city, many infrastructures in the city have been destroyed by ghosts, and even normal life is difficult to maintain. Cell phone communication signals are gone, and many resources that maintain the operation of the city are also gone. No more. It took more than a year for this process to gradually improve with the concerted efforts of the authorities and us. However, compared with before the resurgence of terror, our civilization at that time had already regressed for decades, and it took several more years to follow. It took ten years for the civilization of the past to exist, and the signals from various countries were connected. Under the operation of the magnetic field protection barrier, the people in the base city returned to their previous lives."
"But not all people have that positive attitude. Under the destruction of the human spirit and body by ghosts, many people gradually collapsed, causing many people's hearts to change, and they had a negative attitude towards the world. The pessimistic thought is that sooner or later, human beings will be completely exterminated by ghosts, just like we exterminated those rare animals in the past. Gradually, more and more such people begin to cause destruction everywhere. Although the official dispatched The army suppressed these turmoils, but they were not completely eliminated. Instead, they hid and integrated into the lives of ordinary people. There was nothing the official could do about this."
"And a year later, the special gas you mentioned swept across the world, causing many people to mutate. Human beings gave birth to spiritual awakeners. We call this gas spiritual energy. It allows the spiritual awakeners to continue practicing. Becoming more powerful, the emergence of spiritual awakeners does not only happen to good people, but also appears to those pessimists. After possessing powerful abilities, they become arrogant again and have special characteristics. Because of their abilities, they thought that the official could not do anything about them, so they started to act recklessly in the city again, and after the birth of Aura, more people joined their group of pessimists."
Xu Ruian saw Zhang Zimo's doubts and explained: "You can just imagine what happens to an ordinary person when he has abilities similar to those of a ghost. Some people will choose to join the officialdom to protect human beings." Safe, but the inner desires of some people will be amplified by this ability. In the past, they were ordinary people with no strength, and their desires could only be suppressed by human nature. But now their abilities have become stronger, and their human nature will be suppressed by the evil side of possessing supernatural powers. Suppression, without the suppression of human nature, desires will gradually grow and then turn evil. They may have been working-class people in the past, enduring the insults of their bosses and the contempt of wealthy people. Some are children of poor families who cannot look up to others. At first, I felt inferior."
"But now they are awakened gods. When their desires are amplified, all these injustices to them will become the trigger for their blackening and the reason for their misbehavior. Why are they inferior to others when they are born? Why are they not A good life. Therefore, during the period when the Awakened Ones first appeared, many companies and aristocratic families were regarded as targets of attack by the Awakened Ones who had lost their minds. After those people joined the Pessimists, they became full of pessimism about the world. , an idea of wanting to restart civilization gradually emerged in their hearts, and they called their organization the Ghost and God Society."
"But fortunately, official personnel were dispatched soon. They sent out the awakened souls from the army to join this human civil war. With the joining of the awakened souls from the army, the unorganized awakened souls among the people also Joined the army and fought against the Ghost and God Society together."
"Among the first batch of awakened gods, nearly 80% of them are physically strong, and more of them are members of the army. Therefore, soon, this human civil war will gradually subside. After that, those members of the Ghost and God Association disappeared again. This did not mean that they had completely disappeared, but that they were hiding again. This time they fought against the authorities again and again, and their hearts gradually became distorted, thinking that such a world should be destroyed. , just want to use the ghosts outside to destroy human beings. Therefore, in the past half century, we in the Ghost Hunting Department have not only fought against ghosts, but also against the people of the Ghost and God Association. Just like this ghost incident, we We’re all still checking to see if it’s someone from the Guild of Ghosts and Gods Guild who is causing trouble again.”
Zhang Zimo took a few minutes to digest what Xu Ruian said, and then asked: "Uncle Xu, what are the night watchmen and night hunters about? I only know the night watchmen."
Xu Ruian explained: "After the birth of the Awakened Ones, we discovered that the attacks of the Awakened Ones can harm and even kill ghosts. After that, the officials began to strongly summon all the Awakened Folks to organize them together. To fight against the ghosts outside, no matter what your status is, as long as you are a spiritual awakener, you will be conscripted. At first, many civilian spiritual awakeners were unwilling. After all, they were conscripted and they had to live as hard as a soldier. No one wants to have their life and freedom restricted, so the official policy also changed. Night hunters and night watchmen were born in this way. Night hunters and night watchmen are collectively called the Ghost Hunting Department, which is a special official department with power. It is very big, and Night Hunters and Night Watchmen are two of the organizations. As long as you join these two organizations, you will have a high status in various places, and you can also get a lot of money, and you don’t have to live like a soldier. Live hard, and in this way, those awakened people will be willing to join the officialdom, after all, this is to protect their homeland."
"The night watchers are the people who guard the base city and are responsible for maintaining the security of the base city and fighting against the ghosts and ghosts and gods that invade the base city. The night hunters are responsible for clearing the ghosts outside and increasing the living space for humans. , obviously, the job of a night hunter is much more dangerous than that of a night watchman, and his life may disappear at any time. After the sacrifice of a night hunter, the treatment of his family members is also very good. In the next three generations, only the descendants will have the awakened ones. If you do, you will receive official resources, and these benefits are unmatched by night watchmen."
Zhang Zimo nodded in agreement, then looked at Xu Ruian and said, "So, how did you know my parents?"
Xu Ruian smiled and said: "As I said this, I couldn't help but talk about other places. If you still want to know the details of these things in the future, or if you have something you don't know, you can come to the Night Watch branch. Check out the books.”
"In the past, your parents and I were both Night Hunters, and we were all geniuses. Not just the three of us, but everyone else in our team was a genius, because our Night Hunter team was made up of geniuses. The six of us in the team have experienced many ghost battles together, and have also expanded the territory of mankind a lot. In the expanded territory of our team, many cities that have been reduced to ruins have been reused and become new base cities. We have made a great contribution to the living space of mankind, which is our pride, and the Cangzhou base city where we are now is one of our prides!"
When Xu Ruian said this, his face was full of pride, and Zhang Zimo was also very surprised. He didn't expect that his parents who were so kind and gentle when he was a child could actually be geniuses and so powerful!
But then, Zhang Zimo's mood became depressed again. Now he had guessed the cause of his parents' death. He still couldn't figure it out before. His parents had always been healthy and had no minor illnesses. How could they suddenly have both parents? Did they die together? Now he had guessed it.
Xu Ruian patted Zhang Zimo on the shoulder and said, "Your parents are both heroes."
Zhang Zimo asked softly: "Can you tell me the cause of my parents' death?"
Xu Ruian nodded and said: "Thirteen years ago, at that time, our team was already a very strong team. Every Awakener was an extremely powerful being, and each person was an S-level being. Once , we found the ruins of a former big city, which was once an economic big city in our country, the Magic City. We want to take this city back from the hands of ghosts. If this big city is reactivated, the base The city’s rapidly increasing population will be alleviated a little bit.”
"But that time, we overestimated our abilities. We didn't expect that there were so many ghosts in this big city, and they were all very powerful. There were six S-class ghosts, and we exhausted a lot of them. With the power, we killed six S-class ghosts and came to the central area, but we didn’t expect that in the most central area, what was waiting for us was a ghost king!”
"That time, we tried our best, but we only injured that ghost king, and all of us were seriously injured. Your parents chose to overdraw their own vitality in order to allow the rest of our team to leave safely. Forcibly raise your own strength to the king-level standard. Your mother is a prophet. She exhausted her vitality and forcibly changed the fate of your father's breakthrough that would not succeed, allowing him to break through to the king-level, and finally fight with that ghost king. We died together. At that time, your mother still had a breath left. She used the rest of her life to leave two prophecies. The first prophecy was that you would have an accident in the future. This accident would lead to your death. This accident was unknown to outsiders. It cannot be directly intervened. Your mother said that the only way for you to survive is to integrate the remaining trace of her destiny into the ghost core, and integrate the ghost core into your body. This will allow you to survive. This is indeed the case. , your mother’s trace of destiny has indeed changed your destiny, and the ghost core has also allowed you to survive.”
