CEO, Hold On A Moment

Jomo frowned.

She looked at the person in front of her, not daring to show the slightest, but at the bottom of her eyes, she could not help showing her confusion. She couldn't help thinking: is this accidentally discovered stone very important?

"Oh..." The other side chuckled.

That old face, because of such a smile, folds are overlapped.

"This is the original stone." The old man didn't hide it. In the next second, he readily gave the answer, and explained to himself, "everything, after approaching it, will show its original appearance."

"The original stone?" Joe was stunned.

It's a new term for her.

But

Show your face?

How could she not understand that?

"Well." The old man nodded, took the initiative to step forward two steps, directly put the small stone into her palm. Then, with a staggering, wobbling step, she retreated a little further, "like this."

"What..." Is that right?

Jomo didn't finish.

Because the scene in front of her was enough to shock her. She vowed that all this was done at the speed visible to the naked eye -

the wrinkles on the old man's face were decreasing, and the "collapse" of the skin was also alleviating After quitting a certain distance, people who were "miraculously 20 years old" are "miraculously 20 years younger".

She returned to the way she had seen her last time.

Old, but not old.

"You How do you This... " Joe Mu looked at the person in front of him in amazement, and then looked down at the small black stone in his palm. The whole person was shocked and speechless.

"It can bring people back to their original appearance." The old man repeated, explaining to her in a more intuitive way, "the real me is very old As you can see just now

Qiao Mu opened his mouth: "you too..." Mutated people?

This seems too direct, she said half, after all, choked in the throat, unable to ask directly.

"Yes." The old man, however, knew it, nodded and calmly admitted it. She pursed her lips and let out a long breath. "Jomo, remember, what you see in front of your eyes is not necessarily true. People who are related to that side sometimes look like normal people. "

"So..." Jomo looked at the small stone in his hand and blurted out, "will it make the normal looking mutant show their original appearance? Sorry, I didn't mean that

It seems impolite to say the word "variation" so directly. Jomo reacts later and apologizes with regret.

The old man didn't mind.

"Yes." She nodded and simply followed Jomo's meaning. "There are many ways to mutate. Not everyone looks like a monster. This is the secret city. It's a mixture of good and bad. You'll be much safer with it. "

"Then I..."

"It doesn't affect you, you are." The old man snatched her words and continued, "not every mutation is for immortality It's too complicated and too diverse. I can't make it clear. "

"For example?" Jomo didn't understand.

She has only seen one kind of "mutant": that is, she has bark like hard skin all over her body, her metabolism stops completely, and she lives forever day by day

Now, is there another kind?

"For example, some will become slaves, some will become scouts, and some It's offensive. " The old man said, "without the original stone, people in the early stage of mutation can't see it."

Jomo didn't quite understand.

It's a bit complicated.

So

Is there likely to be "invisible" organizers around her? Or a normal looking mutant?

"What a coincidence that you got this." The old man continued slowly, and his voice was a little glad, "the stone is only near the forbidden area, and no one can easily get it..."

"What?" The last half of the sentence was too quiet for Jomo to hear.

Old people don't repeat it.

She just stressed -

"take this thing with you! So you know what kind of people you meet. "

To sum up, that's the use.

Jomo understood vaguely.

It's just

"I can't take it with me." After thinking about it, Jomo still shook his head dispiritedly, "it can make people uncomfortable, even make people out of control..." She thought of Tang BeiYao and the way his eyes were red last night.

"Why?" The old man was stunned.

When she touched Jomo's eyes and saw the direction he was looking at, she reflected again -

"you mean the awakened one?" She came straight to the point and asked the main question, "will he feel bad, will he lose control?"Qiao Mu was stunned.

Asked about Tang BeiYao, she subconsciously wanted to deny it. But when she touched each other's eyes and saw the sincerity and clarity of each other's eyes, she swallowed her words again.

She didn't want to cheat.

Although she did not know the identity of the other party, she was sure that the other party was not the enemy.

"Yes." Joe nodded and looked out the door. "His eyes are It's changed. " She was just euphemistic and didn't dare to make it too clear.

While she was talking, she also had some doubts in her heart: why didn't Tang BeiYao come? After hearing the dialogue here, no matter how slow Tang BeiYao walked, he should have arrived at the door

"Ochre?" The old man spoke first.

"Er..." Joe was stunned.

How does she know?

"That's what the awakened are like." The old man laughs, "all previous awakened people will go crazy, lose control and kill when they go through this stage Will become a devil, do a lot of completely inhuman things, and then die. "

The old man seems to be in some kind of memory.

Her voice was slow, calm and helpless

Jomo's face was pale and his whole body was tense.

Every time the other side said a word, her back would not be stiff. She knows! As Huang Liu said before, Tang BeiYao will die when he is the most powerful This cruel answer has been reminded again.

Joe thought dully until she heard the other person's next words -

"but he would not."

"What?" Jomo raised his head abruptly.

Not what?

Won't you die?

She wanted to get a glimmer of hope from each other.

"Because he's different." The old man hooked the corner of his lips. Under the remaining wrinkles on his face, there seemed to be bitterness, "you remember. The function of the original stone is only to show the original appearance, and it has no other function. Many of his reactions are due to his own changes, which has nothing to do with it. He is different from the previous awakeners, so his ending is unknown. "
