Stray Chapter 20: Blessed and immeasurable
"It's June 10, 2018..."
Bite the pen, Shen Hanri sat in front of the table staring at the date and time displayed on the electronic clock, calculating quickly in his heart.
"Three years until the first year of recovery ... less than three years."
“I remember the first recorded recovery mutation, which first appeared in Fukushima, and was dubbed by netizens as Godzilla Haunting and Apostle Landing, but it was suppressed at that time. Also blocked the message..."
"So no one knew that the incident was true at all. They thought it was a spoof of a P-picture on the Internet. If it weren't for the release of the decrypted files of later generations, even I would not know the truth of the original matter. It will be like this..."
In general, there is still time.
But it's very urgent, after all, with less than three years to prepare, what changes can he make?
There was a moment of confusion in his eyes, and he returned to the rebirth of the teenage stage in his life. He couldn't help thinking of those nightmares and fears that went deep into the bone
First, the ravings of the void sounded in the minds of human beings, as if there was an indescribable evil eyeing this world in the abyss of stars in the depths of the universe...
Following this, unknown meme viruses spread wildly among human society, and large-scale anomalies and terrorist incidents occur frequently. Even synthetic humans are not immune to such information attacks...
And then I don't know when it started, including the Mars colony, all the extrasolar celestial body colonies lost contact, and even all the artificial satellites, orbiting habitation stations, etc., all stopped moving, and space seems to have become A dark and silent forest...
Final.
Under the atmosphere of suspicion, fear and suspicion, human society has completely collapsed, the order of various countries has been turbulent, and more and more incomprehensible things have appeared. It seems that the universe is deliberately showing absurd and incredible side. That way.
So until the apocalypse that cleanses everything.
…………
It can be said that all this is not achieved overnight, there must be a gradual process of collapse.
And I don't know if it should be called luck or misfortune. As a reborn person whose soul comes from the timeline of the later world, he is the one who has personally experienced the whole process.
Slightly closing his eyes, Shen Hanri tried hard to expel the phantom of this nightmare from his mind, but there was no way. His ability to think betrayed him, and he couldn't help but think over and over again that he had witnessed it with his own eyes. A tragic scene.
Nuclear winter, high-energy radiation, memetic viruses...
It's not even the aftermath of the aftermath, it's the source that's really scary!
Mythical epic of gods, heroes and constellations...
The indescribable, absurd and evil chaos revived in the abyss of stars...
Those are said to be the source of everything! It's just that all things are completely incomprehensible, and the universe has ushered in a deadly fate. Some stars from far away light-years and things that come to the earth are also because their galaxies have been destroyed. run away.
Clenching his fists tightly, Shen Hanri tried to control his emotions.
He felt terrified and powerless, but also a little sad, and hated his incompetence, because after his rebirth, he realized that apart from the memory information from the later life, he could really get a bargaining chip. nothing.
Decades of survival in the wasteland seem to have given him a lot of survival skills and experience, even repairing and improving his mechanical prosthetics and electronic nerve implants, even with his eyes closed. It can be done, after all, this is the foundation of security.
But at this time, these things are useless at all, which is the nature of dragon slaying.
Although the technology itself is genuine, it is a pity that it seems out of date and there is no room for it to be used.
"Without nano-processing technology and corresponding industrial formula, there is no way to restore those technologies I remember, because the industrial level and manufacturing capacity of this era simply cannot produce those too advanced black technologies... "
Shen Hanri tried to calm down, wrote and drew in her notebook, and recorded all the points that came to her mind.
"So, I don't need to think about the finished products that are too advanced for the time being. I need a more suitable entry point... I remember that there are many survivor forces in the apocalypse who are trying to simplify the technology and apply it. Those children are all Some of the "manual work" that can be done should be able to be restored..."
That's right, his first thought was indeed to connect with the country and work together.
It is precisely because he is very aware of the cruelty of the later world that he understands that it is not a rebirth. Then, relying on foresight, constantly obtaining personal adventures and crazy growth routines, he can fight despair. He even feels that behind his "rebirth" is a It's full of intrigue and conspiracy.
So...
There is absolutely no chance of any fluke mentality!
We must gather the strength of everyone, the will of the country and the wisdom of civilization to the greatest extent possible, all of us are united, seize all opportunities, and try to occupy every slight advantage as much as possible. The possibility of grasping a silver lining in the future.
This is what he thought. Maybe when he just found out that he was "reborn", he didn't have arrogant thoughts and impulses, but after listening to the sound of the TV outside and the voice of his parents, Shen Hanri calmed down again. , he can not bet nor dare to gamble.
Time passes by every minute and second, and I don't know how long it has passed.
The voices in the living room outside calmed down. It seemed that his parents had also turned off the TV and went to bed. Shen Hanri just stopped writing. He looked at the notebook full of densely written words and thought quickly.
After a short while, the pen in his hand moved quickly again. Combining the current time situation and the conditions he had, he was extremely decisive to draw a line of "strike-through" between words and lines of text, This means denial.
Soon, the vast majority of what was recorded in the book was rejected, and the remaining options became very rare, but strung together in a clear line.
The road ahead becomes clearer.
"Blessed and immeasurable..."
Put down the pen and stared at the chained route, Shen Hanri muttered to himself, and then shivered uncontrollably, I don't know if it was an illusion, or it was because of the heavy experience of later life. After suffering and being reborn, he had some kind of preconceived psychological suggestion in his heart.
He always felt that when he pronounced this holy name, he was already connected with a mysterious existence in the dark.
Perhaps many people will think that this title is just a false name, and some people say that this title is a storytelling mistake in the 1980s, but it became well known later, but in fact there is no such a name at all mythology figure. But in fact, "Blessed and Unbounded Heavenly Venerate" appears a lot in Taoist scriptures.
"Lei Ting Yushu's Repentance of Sins", "Dao Fa Hui Yuan", "Lingbao's Guidance and Rescue Golden Book", "Tai Shangdong Xuan Lingbao Infinitely Measured People's High-Grade Wonderful Canon Law"...
It has been around since time immemorial, not a new catchphrase in modern times.
According to the half-understanding of Shen Hanri from later generations, this seems to be an extremely mysterious and ancient Taoist Heavenly Venerate. It does exist, but it is difficult to find traces. The holy name has even been deduced into a kind of oral language similar to the Buddhist "Amitabha". .
Being associated with such an existence, he was indeed a little frightened.
Because he knows very well that everything is true, and the myth is likely to be true. At the same time, it is also very clear that the gods are not just the creators, and they are not just beings who can listen to people's wishes and realize them.
Fear is the essence of the gods...
Therefore, people in later generations put poisonous hands on themselves, and even put their palms together to pray for things that want to take their lives, kneel on their knees, worship, and pray.
But what can be done... He smiled wryly.
……
……
Time quietly came to the next morning.
The reborn spent a whole night, staying up all night searching for various information on the Internet, comparing it with the memories in his mind one by one, completing the verification, and confirming that this is indeed the world he once lived, rather than a paradoxical parallel world. .
In the process, because he found some familiar information, he was gradually connected to more things, which were already blurred memories.
"Unfortunately I didn't remember the lottery numbers or something..."
The grinning reborn looked at a web page that opened. The big red characters on it showed that the current lottery prize pool had accumulated to an astronomical amount. He must remember such information.
In that case, at least the beginning won't be such a headache, and it will be much smoother.
"Forget it, don't think too much about these things that some don't have, and who knows how much inside information this kind of thing has..." With a breath, Shen Hanri comforted herself so much, maybe she didn't remember the lottery numbers. Use, maybe the lottery number is directly changed to another one.
He squinted his eyes and continued to click the mouse again and again. The web page was constantly refreshed with his operations. In many cases, even the content page was not displayed, so he shook his head and clicked again. refresh.
Like quantum wave speed reading, the computer pages can't keep up with his refresh rate.
Although he stayed up all night, his eyes were somewhat red and bloodshot, but his spirit was still quite good, and he was still in a state of constant excitement from last night to the present.
I don't know how long it took, but he turned off the computer and stood up quickly.
"Um..."
Immediately afterwards, the reborn person felt dizzy and almost unsteady. He could only hold on to the computer desk and not fall.
He showed a helpless self-deprecating expression. After all, he was not able to adapt to a pure natural human body so quickly, and he still can't get used to it...because he is really too weak.
Bullets can easily penetrate the body, causing irreversible huge trauma;
Just lack of oxygen for more than six minutes, the brain will inevitably die;
The speed of movement is not to mention breaking the speed of sound, it is difficult to approach, and the muscle strength is also ridiculously weak, and the combined hands are afraid that there is no more than a ton of output...
Simply put, with such physical qualities, in any survivor force in the future, they will definitely be judged as third-class crippled waste. All of this naturally made Shen Hanri very unaccustomed, and he needed a certain amount of time to get used to the new body, or the original body.
Taking a few deep breaths, he recovered, then grabbed his wallet and bank card, and went out.
Although not from a wealthy family, Shen Hanri's background is still much higher than that of many people. One of his parents is a university professor and the other is a department director in a city hospital, so his living standard has always been good. come high.
The red envelopes in previous years were not turned over, but were kept by him. In addition to the living expenses given by the parents on weekdays, the total sum of zero and zero is admittedly not a huge sum of money, but as a start-up in the early stage Funding is still sufficient.
Shen Hanri first inspected the neighborhood near her home, then she gritted her teeth and rented a room.
Originally, the landlord had to collect a deposit for half a year, but of course the reborn person refused to do it. The start-up capital of his own is not much, and it is really very little. If it is about this matter, it will be nearly half. That's what really affects the rhythm of the opening.
So he exhausted his words and played the emotional card. The most important thing was to prove that he was a resident of the nearby community and persuaded the landlord to accept the result that the rent was settled monthly.
After renting the house, he ran around the city without a break, buying all kinds of materials and props in a hurry.
For some large quantities of steel and metal, I just pre-ordered the required amount, but did not choose to pick up the goods on the spot, because he had no place to put it and could not pay the balance. But for some other things, it was transported back to the rented house in large and small bags.
Gold, silver, copper, iron, tin hardware, as well as five-color grains, five-color threads, mirrors, Taoist scriptures, pearl agate...
Wait, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
After two days of arrangement, he quietly arranged the empty house into a rudimentary temple, or a temporary altar, shrine and other ritual places.
Then I found an excuse to tell my parents again and left the house. In fact, I was fasting for three days to bathe, change clothes, and live alone to show my sincerity. I gave myself over and over again and strengthened my psychological suggestion.
At the same time, within these three days, he used his own manual skills and experience to carve a statue of God with his own hands. The face was blurred, but it looked mysterious and solemn.
"I don't know what the mysterious Tianzun looks like, but it is said that the avenue is invisible, what image is in the minds of believers, and Tianzun is actually what image, not limited to clay sculpture and wood carving, sincerity is spirit, can accurately point to the corresponding The mysterious existence of it is enough..."
Looking at the **** statue with a roughly human outline and still blurry face, Shen Hanri also felt a little clueless in his heart.
In his previous life, he never really touched this field. Everything was just hearsay. He just knew that the person who received the scorpion could possess all kinds of incredible powers. It can be compared to a space warship.
It is not inferior to a synthetic human whose transformation degree has reached 100% and is powerful enough to be comparable to Transformers; or those warriors who have awakened the so-called divine blood and are tall and giant like Titans.
But those are too far away from Shen Hanri. If he hadn't been reborn, he probably wouldn't have had the chance to get in touch with this field.
"Everything is different now. I should be the first to receive the decree. As long as everything goes well and I maintain such an advantage, the qualifications for the post-employment assessment of the latecomers will largely be in my hands. This is also considered to have the greatest capital..."
The reborn thought to himself, feeling a surge of adoration.
He carefully invited the statue to the top of the altar. After hesitating for a while, he decided to start the ceremony directly.
Strictly speaking, time, time, and orientation are all very particular about consecrating the gods, but he does not have such conditions now. He can't even build a Taoist temple. He can only rent a place to open an altar temporarily. Of course, it's all about urgency.
Sincere heart is spirit, this principle is above all else...
He comforted himself in this way, and at the same time officially started this Taoist ritual that was simplified to the extreme.
"Any sculpture of a deity must first be hidden in order to respond to the five internal organs. Therefore, choose hardware first, then choose five-color grains and five-color threads, a new clean sheet with no yellow residue, and a new clean pen book "Tibetan Talisman"..."
Shen Hanri muttered to himself, while strictly following the steps to get started.
"Then there are the Taoist classics, as well as bronze mirrors, almanacs, five grains, magic talismans, and incense ashes are also needed ritual items, let me think about what to do... Well, it seems that the next step is offering offerings, burning incense, chanting sutras, I don't know how to chant mantras, step on a cloth bucket, burn a watch and worship the rest..."
After thinking about it seriously, he continued to bite the bullet and meditate on Xincheng Zeling.
…………
Boom.
At a time when the reborn is completely immersed in a simplified sacred ritual, trying to convince himself that red tape is not the point, and sincerity is the spirit.
The sky outside was silent, covered with a thick layer of dark clouds, and the sound of thunder resounded dully.
With the city as the center point, the dark clouds rolled in from all directions and gathered together, accumulating continuously, as if forming a thick layer of sky, as if to block all peeping on this planet from outer space.
In the deepest part of the void, an evil eye that was bigger than a star opened and looked straight in the direction of the solar system.
The changes in the timeline are too obvious, so many manifestations and wills are aware of...
The war begins early.
