Meng Fei felt that he completely missed the point.
"Stop talking nonsense, is he a Taotie spy?"
"No,"
An Sheng shook his head.
“He had no idea what he had done that day.
“And there are obvious traces of being contaminated by demonic spirits in his consciousness.
"The spirit possessed him and then left."
"So how is he now?"
"What else can he do? The computer cleaned him of the traces of the demon spirit. Then he continues to work now."
An Sheng shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, expressing his helplessness.
This case couldn't be simpler.
The signs of a mole that followed the replacement of classified documents are just one more proof that the devil is haunting the Secret Bureau.
Meng Fei began to suspect that there was no need for him to come.
No, he forgot one thing. Without him as bait, how to catch the demon spirit?
"last question."
He stretched out a finger, eagerly hoping that An Sheng wouldn't be as secretive as Li Mu.
"You're welcome, please tell me."
"Why do the task force think that demon spirits will be attracted to me?"
"this……"
An Sheng turned over the information in his hand and looked around again. There was no one else in the room except Suzaku.
"No one told you?
"But no one said you can't say it. I'll just tell you directly. Do you understand genes?"
"Know a little bit."
Meng Fei felt a little bad when he asked about genes, as if the doctor was about to give you a vague and irreversible verdict.
"This is a snippet from your genetic analysis report."
An Sheng took out a piece of paper from his hand.
"The report is your own, so you should have the right to know. It's just that you have never asked the Department of Supernatural Powers to read it."
Meng Fei thought to himself, I don’t even know how I can ask for this! What else has that old man Li Mu done behind my back?
Of course, strictly speaking, Lao Li was not secretly analyzing his genes.
Because among the large number of informed consent agreements he signed before joining the Superpower Bureau, there were clauses that voluntarily allowed relevant departments to analyze his genes. And he also submitted a sample of his own blood.
It's just that he didn't take it to heart at all before.
"Have you ever heard of the divine pet gene?"
"No."
"You, an origin scholar, have never heard of the divine pet gene?"
"I am a new origin scholar."
Meng Fei said shamelessly.
"Okay. Then I have to explain it to you from the beginning."
An Sheng's interest became even higher.
"You know that most of the abilities of superhumans come from genes, right?"
Essentially, the abilities of superpowers come from loopholes in the world and need to be triggered by the original code.
But the original code is just a kind of information, and it doesn’t matter how it is expressed.
You can store the original code on a disk, keep it in your mind, or store it in your genes.
In any way, as long as it manages to run and the original code is activated, the vulnerability will be triggered.
Most of the original codes that can trigger bugs in the world for people with super powers are spread in genes. Therefore, people with superpowers have certain family attributes.
Of course, there are also cases like executioners who do not have any original code that triggers bugs in their genes.
But they hold the "Executioner's Key" given by the goddess, which is equivalent to the original code saved in a "secret spell" and has the same effect.
Meng Fei looked at a large section of base pair sequence highlighted in red in his genetic analysis report.
"What kind of power does this represent?"
He was curious. It turns out that not only does he possess the "secret key" left by his predecessor, but he is actually born with a superpower?
"No, no, no, the divine pet gene does not produce any special powers."
"Then what's the use of this thing?"
"It will produce a divine favor effect."
"What is the divine pet effect?"
There was no genetic analysis technology in the Kingdom of God era, but for some reason they essentially wrote out this gene using various obscure symbolic expressions.
Moreover, priests from various countries are using various witchcraft methods to search for people or creatures with this gene around the world.
Once captured, these people or creatures were captured and dedicated to the gods. For no other reason than that all the gods are feverishly pursuing this creature.
So in classical myths and legends, it is not difficult for you to see gods or have gods fulfill your wishes.
You only need to find a living divine creature and place it on the altar, and the god will immediately come down from the sky to fulfill your wish.
Of course, it would be dangerous if more than one god came. Maybe there will be an earth-shattering melee, and you will inevitably be affected.
The difficulty lies in the fact that divine pets are so difficult to find. This gene requires a series of mutations and is said to be virtually impossible to inherit.
"There are two types of divine pet genes, called type A and type B, and you belong to type B.
"In addition, the degree of favor favored by the same type of divine pet creatures is also different. You belong to... a very rare and severe divine pet."
“What does God want these beloved creatures to do?”
Meng Fei felt as if ten thousand grass and mud horses were running past in his heart, and he was extremely uneasy.
"good question!"
AXA gave a thumbs up in praise.
“Theologians throughout the ages have studied this, but there is no clear conclusion.
"After all the divine pets were sacrificed to God, they never appeared again. God also did not answer any questions about divine pets."
"etc,"
Meng Fei interrupted him.
"What does it mean to never be seen again?"
"Just go and never come back."
"All dead?"
"I don't know. Anyway, no one who dedicated the divine pet to God has returned alive. Of course, no one has seen the body."
An Sheng explained seriously. The more he explained, the more chilled Meng Fei felt.
"Why?" Meng Fei asked.
“Mainstream theology has several hypotheses for this.
"The most common is the edible hypothesis."
"Damn it, can your god eat people?"
The corner of Meng Fei's mouth twitched.
"This is just a hypothesis.
"Besides, the way God eats food is not necessarily exactly the same as the way humans eat it. They may not even be the same concept."
An Sheng comforted him in a friendly manner.
"There is a more extreme hypothesis that believes that divine pets are God's products. Just like people who smoke drugs cannot control themselves, gods cannot control their pursuit of divine pets."
"Isn't there a milder way to put it?"
“The third hypothesis is breeding, which believes that just like humans raising and pampering pets, gods may also behave similarly.
"Like a cat fanatic?"
Meng Fei wiped the sweat from his forehead. Although he also likes to pet cats, he does not want to be petted.
"It doesn't sound like anyone can tolerate it."
"You might like the enshrinement hypothesis."
"worship?"
“More than a thousand years ago, the great theologian Hema first proposed that the divine pet may be a creature higher than God.
“Just as we offer and worship God, God also offers and worships divine favors.”
"What's his reason?"
"Did not say."
"..."
"Later Hema was discovered to be a god's pet. Before being offered as a sacrifice to the gods, he warned the world that humans should not speculate on gods without authorization."
"...Has this self-proclaimed guy been silenced by God?"
