mythical visionary

Chapter 3 Sequencer and Myth Carrier
The dragon that destroyed the port of Allinge was the sea god Poseidon... The famous god in Greek mythology turned out to be a giant dragon?
Xia Mingwei froze in place, his brain was like a ball of wool rolling down on the ground, and countless chaotic thoughts suddenly spread out.

No, the key is that if this is the case, why do the gods in the myths of various countries appear in reality?
And more importantly, if you follow this logic, then...the monster that appeared in my town eight years ago is undoubtedly the "Fire Giant Surtur" in "Norse Mythology"-this is also the name of Anne. Lance gave me that book and deliberately led me to think about it.

After Xia Mingwei came to his conclusion, his pupils shrank slightly, and he couldn't recover for a long time.

"What about the second video?" He was not in a hurry to ask more questions, because Anlens said that he should watch the two videos first, and then explain some related concepts to him.

Anlunsi said quietly: "The second video took place in Xuelu Town in China."

"Sure enough, Snow Deer Town..."

Xia Mingwei had expected it a long time ago, but the light in the depths of his eyes was still slightly turbulent. Xuelu Town was his hometown 'destroyed by the earthquake'.

"Yes, I'm a little worried that you won't be able to recover for a while, so..."

"It's ok."

"No, no, let's relax and talk about other things."

"I said, it doesn't matter, I can accept the truth whatever it is."

"Okay then." Anlunsi smiled, "By the way, did I interfere with your store visit?"

"I've closed the shop."

"That's good." Anlens tapped his finger on the table, "By the way, your name reminds me of 'Hemingway', I think..."

"The boss of this family adopted me. He liked Hemingway very much, so he changed my name, but not my surname." Xia Mingwei interrupted him, "The work the boss admires most is "For Whom the Bell Tolls", and I still don't move at all. They will mention Hemingway's iceberg theory to customers."

"Hehe, it seems that he treats you very well."

"Yes, I usually go to work after school to help subsidize the expenses in the store."

"Sounds good." Anlens smiled. "Then, Xia Mingwei, before watching the second video, let me introduce some concepts to you."

"I am listening."

"First of all, what appeared in the video just now is not a real mythical figure, but something called a 'mythological carrier'."

"Mythological carrier?"

"The mythological carrier is the name of the human being who holds the 'mythological sequence'."

"What is the myth sequence?" Xia Mingwei asked.

"A path to becoming a god." Anlens crossed his fingers and pressed his chin. "Any mythological sequence will have a corresponding mythical character. The mythological sequence is the power left by these mythical characters, a kind of inheritance."

The path to becoming a god?Xia Mingwei frowned: "What do you mean?"

"Each Mythic Sequence is divided into four stages. The first stage, referred to as the first-order Mythological Sequence, will only give the holder part of the pivotal ability. And the higher-level Mythological Sequence, the power that can be given to the holder is also greater. stronger and stronger."

Anlunsi took a sip of ice water, and continued:
"And what you saw in the video just now is the power of the fourth-order myth sequence, also known as the final stage of the myth carrier.

"Humans with a fourth-order mythological sequence can release part of the power of the mythical figure at any time. At this time, their bodies will also change, tending to the original shape of the mythical figure."

Xia Mingwei was greatly shocked.

According to Anluns' logic, the one who attacked Snow Deer Town eight years ago was the holder of the "Fire Giant Surtur" myth sequence?
The body of that monster is actually a human?
A human, incarnated as a mythical flame giant, killed my relatives, killed my friends, and destroyed my town?

Xia Mingwei cleared his mind and asked for confirmation: "You mean that the dragon in the video was transformed by humans?"

"That's right, the sea god Poseidon, the giant dragon that brought a tsunami to the port of Allinge, was transformed from a human with a mythical sequence."

"This person," Xia Mingwei hesitated for half a second, and then asked, "How is it now?"

"It's a pity that we haven't been able to catch this 'myth carrier'. He is still wandering around in this world. Maybe he will turn into a giant dragon and swallow a city casually."

Having said that, An Lance's tone gradually cooled down:

"No matter what, since he destroyed the port of Allinge and caused countless innocent lives, he should of course be the enemy of mankind and cannot be forgiven."

"Then who are you?"

"I'm just a college student, but the university I went to is quite special."

"Oribel University." Xia Mingwei still remembered the name of the university that Alans had mentioned.

"It seems that you have a good memory." Alans was taken aback. "On the surface, this is just a pheasant university, but in fact, this is a school dedicated to cultivating sequencers."

"Sequencer?"

"That's right, Sequencer."

"The Sequencer you speak of refers to the human beings with the 'Mythological Sequence'?"

"No, no, I've said it before, the human beings who possess the 'myth sequence' are collectively referred to as 'myth carriers'."

Xia Mingwei was puzzled: "What is the Sequencer?"

"Sequencers are humans who hold a 'professional sequence', not mythological sequences. You must first distinguish these two concepts. Every mythic carrier is the enemy of human beings, and also the enemy of us sequencers."

"Wait, you said..." Xia Mingwei grasped the point: "I'm also a sequencer?"

"That's right, recently our people detected a 'sequence effect' on your body, and they also gave some speculation, saying that this is a career sequence related to a 'dream'?"

Dream sequence?

Xia Mingwei was taken aback, then quickly cleared up his messy thoughts, and continued to obtain information: "So, what are the characteristics of sequence awakening?"

"The most obvious thing is that the coat of arms will appear on your body." Anlunsi turned his head and looked at Xia Mingwei, "If you have time, take a look at your neck with a mirror, and the coat of arms has begun to take shape."

neck?

Xia Mingwei stretched out his cold hand and touched his slightly hot neck.

He looked at the glass of the cabinet, his face and neck with a slight glow were reflected on it.

No wonder, when I was at the cinema in the afternoon, that girl would say that my neck was glowing, which turned out to be a sign that the sequence was about to wake up...

Xia Mingwei's thoughts suddenly became clear, and a series of strange things today were explained.

Of course, he still had some doubts about what Anluns said, but he was kept in the dark because he didn't know anything.

He prefers to believe it.

"Well...according to this progress, probably tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, you will awaken the power of the professional sequence." Anlunsi drank the cold water in the cup, "But the first-level professional sequence will not appear What a dangerous force, so you don't have to worry."

"Tier one?" Xia Mingwei grasped the word, "is the professional sequence, like the mythical sequence, divided into several stages?"

"Yes, but there is a difference. The Mythic Sequence is passively advanced, while the Occupational Sequence needs to be actively advanced, otherwise you will never be able to become an upper-level Sequencer."

Passive advancement...

In other words, even if the "myth carrier" lies at home and does nothing, it will sooner or later become a fourth-order myth sequence holder.

And ordinary sequencers, do they have to rely on any means to advance?
After careful consideration, Xia Mingwei asked:
"So, mythological carriers will become stronger passively, reach the final stage, and finally have the power to become a 'mythical character'?"

"You can understand it like this, and the meaning is pretty much the same." Anlens said, "By the way, after reaching the final stage, almost none of the mythical carriers can maintain their sanity, and they will inevitably lose control and become Such a monster."

After a pause, he added:
"That is to say, as long as a person holds the Myth Sequence, he is almost equivalent to standing on the completely opposite position with ordinary human beings. This is an irreversible fact."

Xia Mingwei gasped.

According to Anluns, the kind of devils that can easily overturn a human town are all transformed by humans using the power of the "myth sequence"...

And as sequencers, we must fight against these monsters that can destroy the world.

But is that something that can be overcome?
Recalling the giant shadow that appeared in the town that day, Xia Mingwei couldn't help shivering, but at the same time, the haze in his heart was hard to dispel.

At least, he had a rudimentary contact with the truth, the deaths of the townspeople were explained, and it was the greatest insult to the dead to claim that so many people died in a ridiculous earthquake.

And, now Xia Mingwei finally has the opportunity to change something - professional sequence, this is the weapon used to fight against the myth carrier.

It is no longer powerless, no longer can only forget, no longer can only deceive oneself...

"I have a question." Xia Mingwei said.

"Just ask."

"Myth carrier, that is, the holders of the 'Myth Sequence', is it possible that they also have a 'Professional Sequence'?" Xia Mingwei asked, "If this is the case, then don't we ordinary Sequence holders have the slightest advantage?"

Anlens smiled slightly: "No, the myth sequence and the occupation sequence are incompatible. This is a theory drawn up by the Oribel Academy. Over the past ten years, we have never seen a human being with 'two sequences' at the same time."

"I see..." Xia Mingwei pondered.

"By the way, after you become a second-order Sequencer, you will be able to hide this mark on your neck.

"Before that, I advise you to put a Band-Aid on it, or wear a high-necked shirt to cover it up, or something like your right hand."

When Anlunsi said this, he looked at Xia Mingwei's bandaged right hand.

Xia Mingwei moved his stiff wrist and explained unhurriedly:
"My right hand was bandaged when I broke it. The bandage on my neck is too conspicuous. Just find something to cover it."

"So that's it. I thought you were injured in a fight with your classmates," Anlunsi smiled. "But it's pretty nice to pester you. I thought it was a habit of your Huaxia students."

"I have one last question."

"what is the problem?"

Xia Mingwei raised his eyes, looked directly at An Lance, and asked almost word for word:
"The one that destroyed Xuelu Town was also a mythical carrier, right?"

"That's right." Anlunsi nodded, moving his finger on the touch screen, "And this is the second video I'm going to show you. You have the right to know the truth back then."

After his fingers stopped, the video started playing.

2 minutes later.

Xia Mingwei took a deep breath, and the cold air pierced into his lungs, causing every nerve in him to gradually calm down.

Just now, he re-watched the historical video of the flame giant Surtur's mythical carrier razing his village to the ground on Anlens' computer.

"The above is all about the video.

"Whether you can accept it or not, whether you think we're making a fake or not, it's a fact. We took a code name for the mythical carrier that destroyed Port Allinge and named it 'Sea God'," said Anlens, "and destroyed Xuelu Town, the mythical carrier that brutally killed all the townspeople, is called 'Yanju' by us."

He closed the laptop, turned his head to look at Xia Mingwei, his blue eyes were hideously deep.

"All mythical carriers will become the destroyers of human civilization. So far, it seems that only one port and one village have been victimized on the surface, but in fact, nearly ten similar incidents have occurred in this world. superior.

"The Occupational Sequence is the only force that can compete with the Mythic Sequence. Although the opponent has crushing power, at least we have the advantage in numbers.

"As a sequencer, we must not sit idly by.

"And Mr. Xia Mingwei, after learning about these inside stories, I will give you two options. The first one is to join us and become a member of the Sequencer.

"The second option is to sign a contract with us, promising that you will never use the power of the professional sequence, and never disclose information about the 'myth carrier' and the 'sequencer'."

"I'll join."

"Well, what?" Anlunsi was taken aback, as if he didn't expect Xia Mingwei to be so decisive.

"I said, I'll join." Xia Mingwei said calmly, "I want to be one of you to fight against these mythical carriers."

It took a long time for Anluns to react.

He first looked at Xia Mingwei with an unbelievable look for two seconds, then said with a smile:
"Then as you wish, I will come back tomorrow to discuss related matters with you. Let's stop here for today, after all, the owner of the coffee shop is coming back soon."

After the words fell, the black-haired and blue-eyed British youth left the coffee shop resolutely, the bell rang and the door closed.

Xia Mingwei didn't stop him, but he was not in the mood to continue looking at the store.

So, he sent a message to his boss at that time, saying that he was not feeling well.

The boss also quickly replied that he was asked to go to bed to rest first, and the shop will be closed tonight, and there is no shortage of money.

After that, Xia Mingwei locked the door of the coffee shop, turned off the lights of the cafe on the first floor, and walked up the stairs to the attic.

"call……"

He lay down on the sofa exhausted, and after a brief relaxation, his mind was in a trance, and his subconscious mind could not help thinking that the series of things that happened just now were too magical.

However, the faint pain coming from the back of his hand kept reminding him...that was reality.

Xia Mingwei turned his gaze to his right hand, even though the back of his hand was wrapped with a bandage, he still couldn't hide the frightening light.

"So, am I a sequencer, or... a myth carrier?"

Talking softly to himself, he slowly removed the bandage wrapped around his right hand, and the bandage fell to the ground like a dead white snake.

And the back of his hand was exposed to the dull air.

I saw a terrifying crest engraved on the top of the back of the hand. In the darkness, the crest flashed with a jet-black streamer...
