Chapter 94 094. Jane Nelia

All carbon-based life originates from a single cell.

No one knows why such a cell appeared, especially in the deep water of primitive darkness. Superstitious mystics believe that it was deliberately done by someone somewhere, but in fact, it is more likely that countless bases of purine have been destroyed. Accidentally matched together.

It seems that from the very beginning, life is full of absurdity, ridiculousness and uncertainty.

Suddenly one day, this solitary cell decides to split itself out.

What's the point of this?

It is hard for people today to imagine what is the reason for a cell without a brain to decide to "split" itself from it and divide it into two.

But no matter what, from the moment it decided to split itself and create another self, the sea that was originally dead and dark and rough will become prosperous and colorful after hundreds of millions of years.

Harvesting energy, shaping, dividing, replicating, absorbing energy, shaping, dividing, replicating, clustering, combining, building tissue, cell differentiation...

"No...Nomi..."

Amino acid, calcification, bone, muscle, amniotic membrane, egg membrane, oviparous, lactating, nerve, notochord, myelin sheath, mandible, enlarged skull, dental differentiation, stereopsis——

"Nomi!"

The eyeballs rotate, the crystal secretions are squeezed out, the eardrums resonate, the information stored in the brain is mobilized, the nerve synapses are discharged, the bioelectric current passes through the nerves, the reflex is activated, and the brain is asked for advice: request to open the eyes.

The brain responds: eyes are allowed to open.

She slowly opened her eyes, the eyelids were wet with tears, the dazzling fluorescent light shone into her eyes, and the pupils shrank adaptively.

The iris becomes pigmented, reflecting a dark purple color, and the optic nerve returns to normal work.

"Welcome to wake up."

As she muttered, she slowly raised her head, her brain started to work quickly, and she scanned left and right mechanically, and her vision immediately captured two human-shaped objects.

The target on the left is suspected to be a male Homo sapiens, holding a weapon, about 185 cm tall, gray eyes, black hair, pale skin, almost no wrinkles, and a strong attractive appearance. After witnessing, the hormone secretion level in his body increased significantly.

Retrieve information—consistent with the conditions Target: Li Aoz.

The target on the right is suspected to be a female Homo sapiens, about 171 cm tall, with red hair and light-colored eyes, holding her own palm in her hand, the target is emotional, and tears are secreting from her eyes.

Retrieve information—consistent with the conditions Target: Qiu Ran.

"Great, Nomi, you're finally back!"

Qiu Ran hugged her, crying with gratitude in her mouth.

"Nomi?"

A strange, deep voice sounded, and Li Aoz raised his head in surprise, looking at her with doubts.

She turned her head slowly, raised her hand to push Qiu Ran away, and in the other's light-colored eyes, she saw her own appearance:
Deep purple eyes, long silver-gray hair scattered on the shoulders, sharpness between the eyebrows and eyes, regular facial features, not considered beautiful, slightly higher cheekbones than ordinary people, giving people a sense of harshness and indifference like steel and metal.

"Nomi..."

Qiu Ran said puzzledly.

"I'm not Nomi, you've got the wrong person, comrade."

She said, covering the undulating mountains in front of her chest, and looked up at Li Aoz, her deep purple eyes conveyed a friendly signal:
"Please also help me find a piece of clothing to cover my body. After all, men and women are different, Mr. Li Oz."

Li Aoz frowned, the strange tone, appearance and voice made him feel weird.

He mobilized the gravity and directly pulled a set of hospital gowns over. While the other party was changing, he suddenly thought of something and asked:

"Neria?"

"It's me, Mr. Lee Oz."

She put on the hospital gown, stood up, only a head shorter than herself, looked at them with purple eyes, raised the corners of her mouth, showing a hearty and passionate smile, saluted the military, and said:

"Sergeant Jane Nelia, a scout of the 'Barbed' guerrilla under the Rose Army, thank you both for saving me."

Qiu Ran was stunned, she didn't know what to do with her outstretched hand, and in the end she had to put it on her chest, staring blankly at this strange, mature, and heroic female soldier of the Rose Army.

"You... aren't Nomi?"

"Unfortunately, I am not."

Jane Nelia shook her head.

"Then who the hell is Nomi?" Qiu Ran asked hastily.

Jane Nelia glanced at the other party regretfully, and said:

"Neria is Nelia, and Nomi is Nomi. Although we share the same body, the same brain, and the same set of interests, we are indeed different individuals."

"You mean, you have a split personality?"

Li Aoz glanced at the team information. Except for the increase of 11 points in the original [Physique], which skyrocketed to 30 points, and her age changed to 19 years old—except for each other, there was no abnormality in her panel information. After thinking about it, she suddenly What came to mind:
"Do you... know Volova?"

"Of course," Jane Nelia said briskly, "That's the god of robbery, and most of us believe in him."

Li Aoz nodded, but his expression became even weirder.

"What's the matter, Li Aoz—Nomi, how did you become a different person? What's wrong?"

"Biologically speaking, she is Nomi." Li Aoz thought about his words, and explained: "Nomi has taken up the role of [Predator], a professional group that generally has the ability to plunder other people's strengths. "

"But there is a special group of [looters], they believe in Volova and promise to hand over half of the things they loot, no matter how much they get, to other believers."

"This..." Qiu Ran was puzzled: "But what does this have to do with Nomi?"

Li Aoz didn't answer directly, but looked at Jane Nelia and asked:

"When was Nomi sent to you?"

"A few months ago, I was caught when I awakened my arcane energy." Jane said indifferently: "She came along with my arcane energy."

"That's not your arcane power." Li Aoz understood clearly, "It's Nomi's arcane power."

Qiu Ran was confused, but Jane's harsh tone made her feel uncomfortable, subconsciously squeezed Li Ozi's shoulder, and said:
"Li Aoz, this woman must be a monster or something. She snatched Nomi's body. The visitor is not kind..."

"terribly sorry."

Jane said coldly:

"Nomi is the one who came."

"What are you talking about!" Qiu Ran dissatisfied: "Nomi is our partner—"

"Enough, Qiu Ran."

Li Aoz pressed Qiu Ran's shoulder and said in a complicated tone:

"She said... yes."

"Nomi Anderson Gursett, she may have been taken away by other [looters] who are also followers of Volova, and she was assigned to Miss Jane Nelia."

"--What does it mean?"

Qiu Ran stared at Li Aoz in a daze, and pointed at Jane Nelia:
"You mean, Nomi is just a soul lodged in her—a part that was taken away by others and distributed away?"

"Yes."

Jane Nelia said frankly:

"This body is mine, but it was taken away by Nomi before."

"So, what about Nomi?"

Qiu Ran's lips moved, her pupils trembled, and she said in disbelief:
"If I say, Nomi, she—she is a soul given to you, then, what about the real Nomi?"

Li Aoz opened his mouth and expressed the conjecture in his heart for her:
"Dead long ago."
