Chapter 441: 441
In unknown chaos, the first beam of light pierced through the everlasting fog of darkness . The sense called 'vision' awoke the obscure consciousness . Through the 'eyes' of its 'body', vibrant colors shattered the world made of black and white . Everything was fresh and interesting .
Then, more information came . The noise, the cold air, and the pungent metal .
It insatiably wanted to feel more things, but it could only see through the eyes of this body . It tried to turn its head, but its body did not move as its mind commanded . It could only feel but not control .
It anxiously wanted to move but could not . It started crying silently like a baby, but no one could hear it .
An unknown amount of time had passed since it awoke . Through this body, it saw countless upright creatures come and go, carrying out activities that it could not understand .
I want… I want more…
After some time, the number of visions started to slowly increase .
Water fell onto the leaf and slowly rolled down it . It stared at the droplet, wondering why it did not tickle .
Roots dug into the soil, and the fertilizer brought a sense of satisfaction, like the feeling the upright creatures felt when consuming food .
Its nose sniffed, and its hypersensitive sense of smell drew out the prey's escape route .
More and more senses brought a raging stream of data . It greedily accepted everything .
Then, a new sense was born . It felt microorganisms like a running stream . To its surprise, it discovered that this was the first thing that it could control, like an obedient army .
Is this the sense that belongs to me?
No, it's not .
I am all; all is me .
…
In Sanctuary Three, ever since an officer breathed in some leaked paralyzing gas and ended up lying in bed for seventeen days and three hours, Emerald Grass' alchemy room was deemed a forbidden area .
Compared to when Han Xiao left, the size of the alchemy room was many times larger with more precise devices . Rows of colorful liquid drugs were placed on the shelves . On the table were transparent glass drawers with different plants inside, all original materials used to make drugs .
"Hmm…" Emerald Grass wore a white coat, anti-corrosion gloves, and a pair of glasses, humming and blending some kind of plant drug .
Her power to control plants allowed her to feel the plants, and thus accurately control the dose of drugs .
Sweeping aside her hair, she reached out, opened a drawer, and tore off a petal . As she was going to throw it into the device and use it as the raw material, her movements suddenly stopped .
Her power sensed something peeking, but it disappeared after a very short instant, almost like an illusion . Emerald Grass furrowed her brows slightly and looked toward the source of that feeling, but it was the plant that she had taken the petal from .
"Strange," Emerald Grass mumbled . She pondered and reached out to touch the plant again . Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click www . webnovel . com for visiting .
The instant her fingers touched the plant, a shiver passed through her Esper power sense like an electric current and stabbed her heart deeply .
Quickly pulling her hand away, Emerald Grass took a few steps back and looked at the plant with shock and suspicion .
"It's not an illusion… there's a very real sense of peeking when I touched it…"
If not for her power to observe the tiniest changes in plants, she would not have felt the change .
Disbelief flashed through her eyes .
"This plant, is it consciously sensing me?"
Emerald Grass suddenly thought of something . Her expression changed, and she hastily touched every plant in the room . Most plants did not change, but a quarter of the plants gave her the same feeling .
In the enormous alchemy room with not a single other person, she felt like she was surrounded by countless eyes peeking at her silently .
A shiver went down her spine uncontrollably .
These immobile plants seemed to have grown eyes, looking at and observing her .
"Something's wrong… something's very wrong…" Emerald Grass murmured .
…
It was late at night .
In the Internal Personnel Residential Area inside the sanctuary core area, Hila, who was in a black windbreaker, was sitting on the rooftop, looking up at the starry night .
Ever since Han Xiao left, she would go up to the rooftop occasionally and look up at the stars blankly .
In the past year, Hila had not left the sanctuary, and Aurora's health had recovered .
"Whoo…" A four-meter-tall gigantic white bear growled softly . This bear was circling around the courtyard on its fours, and a blonde girl was sitting on its back, smiling and laughing brightly . Her voice was young, energetic, and full of life .
Aurora's power was recovering slowly, and she was gradually growing taller . She was not skinny and tiny like before anymore; her skin became whiter and smoother with a tint of healthy redness . Bear Cub, who followed her around, was growing quickly, too . Its fur was smooth, soft, and slightly reflective . On its forehead, chest, arms, and thighs, there were scales that looked like ice crystals . It looked tough and muscular, and its tiny eyes looked both cute and fearsome .
Hila looked down, furrowed her brows, and said, "Don't run too fast and be careful not to fall . "
"Are you looking at the moon again, Sis?" Aurora looked up .
