The atmosphere in the living room suddenly became a little weird, maybe because of his anger after drinking, Yi Ange didn't dare to look Jing Rong directly in the eyes, turned his head away quickly, and said embarrassingly, "I see."

Jing Rong frowned, somewhat dissatisfied with his reaction.

But he quickly decided to give up this meaningless conversation, which made Yi Ange heave a sigh of relief.Going any further, he felt like he was about to blurt out the question "What are you serious about?"He had a premonition that Jing Rong's answer would be "all of them".

Then we really can't talk anymore.Yi Ange couldn't imagine how he would react after hearing this answer, but he was sure that he couldn't pretend to accept it calmly.

No matter how much I tried to get in touch with Jing Rong before, I would still hesitate at the critical moment.Staring at Jing Rong's bony hand holding beer, Yi Ange began to despise his own cowardice.

Jing Rong put his wine on the table, leaned forward, crossed his hands on his knees, and said, "The situation in my family is not complicated. If you don't want to hear it, you can stop me at any time."

He paused, and seeing that Yi Ange didn't interrupt, he continued, "My mother comes from a family of supernatural beings. My father was an ordinary person three generations ago. When I got married, my father should be married, but my mother didn't agree. My grandfather originally The plan was that they would move out of the base and live with him after they got married, but my father was a rising star in the leadership of the base at the time, and after some arguments, my mother stayed with him at the base. They got married very early, but the five Years later I was born."

"You should still remember what it was like in the base 30 years ago. In fact, there have been some people mixed in the base since earlier, but they were too well hidden and mingled among us. I couldn't tell them apart when I was a child. Who the hell is it?"

"At that time, there were a lot of supernatural beings in the base, and everyone was used to living a hidden life, but some people still had contact with the outside world. They advocated 'joining the WTO', but because this kind of voice was not mainstream in the base, they have always been There was no response until the period leading up to the disaster when the leadership made a bad decision and let the wolf in. My dad was one of the leaders who made that decision, not the final decision maker, but he was involved."

Jing Rong narrowed his eyes and stared at a certain place in front of him, as if caught in a bad memory.Yi Ange didn't know what to say. She wanted to pat him, but her outstretched hand stopped. In the end, she could only say, "In that environment, everyone is at fault."

"Maybe." Jing Rong said, "But that's not the point."

He took a sip of his beer.When he raised his head, his neck stretched out a graceful arc, and his Adam's apple rolled vigorously twice, which made Yi Ange swallow unconsciously.

Jing Rong said, "At that time, the most desperate thing was not that the leadership did something wrong, but the severity of the whole environment. This was something I gradually realized after a long time. I didn't know at the time why many had to The adults who stay at the base have a very special look of desperation on their faces, and every time they look up at the sky, they sigh, as if they know they'll never get out of there."

"At that time, Olympus's attitude towards supernatural beings was still only 'monsters'. They believed that the existence of supernatural powers was unreasonable, and they had been looking for evidence, hoping to prove that this was just a scam, or a poor quality. The genetic variation of the psychic, who believed that as time goes by, the body of the old superpower will show disadvantages. This kind of doubt is understandable. In fact, when the supernatural power was first discovered, the first person who doubted this ability was The superhuman himself."

Yi Ange understood this feeling.Why am I different from others, why other people refuse to accept me, is there something wrong with my body, this kind of self-doubt will appear in every person who has good intentions for this world, whether he is an ordinary person or stranger.

"Humans also have the same ideas as Olympus," Jing Rong continued, "but due to fear and disgust, they cannot contact the supernatural beings at the base, so they basically take Olympus' ideas first. The two It was the first to reach an agreement that Olympus would conduct research on supernatural genes and humans would provide assistance. Olympus was originally an organization initiated by capable ordinary people, but then I discovered that there were obviously supernatural beings among them traces of existence."

Hearing this, Yi Ange was stunned, "So during the first air raid, you would say that there were some of you among them?"

Jing Rong nodded, and quickly shook his head again, "It's not just that. I never understood why Feng Rui became the leader of Olympus, but after this incident... Do you remember that in the photo you found earlier, Is there a photo of my father, Zhou Mincai and a man?"

Of course Yi Ange remembered.He didn't know the man standing in the middle of the camera. Originally, this man was also one of the targets of the investigation, but because the matter of his grandfather had too much impact on him, he left the matter of that man behind him.

"That's the father of the brothers of the Feng family, who was also the top leader of the base back then."

Speaking of this, Jing Rong touched his lips, frowning tightly, as if struggling with how to express himself.

"My father always thought that Olympus was just a non-governmental organization that was too paranoid about supernatural genes, and never took it to heart. But later, my mother discovered that the Feng family was secretly contacting the humans who had sneaked into the base, which broke his plan. It was also from then on that I lived on the top floor of that building, and was given strict access control and entry and exit times, and was not allowed to talk to all strangers in the base. She realized that something was starting to go wrong."

Yi Ange recalled what he saw after entering the crack by mistake for the second time.That was not what Jing Rong's father requested, but his mother.Yi Ange always thought that Jing Rong's mother was gentle and weak, but he never thought that she would imprison her son. It seemed that the situation at that time was much more serious than he imagined.

but……

Yi Ange looked at him and said, "This can't stop you, can it?"

As if thinking of something, Jing Rong's brows were not wrinkled so tightly, and the corners of his lips were slightly raised, "Yes."

Yi Ange also laughed, but soon, he restrained his smile and asked, "What about your father?"

Jing Rong's gaze sank, and he said, "I don't know."

Everything is about mother.He found out that something was wrong with the Feng family, protected his son, and realized that something had happened, but there was no sign of his father from the beginning to the end.

Perhaps this is one of the reasons why Jing Rong has a bad relationship with his father.He didn't know if his father had betrayed the base, betrayed their flesh and blood relatives.

Thinking of this, Yi Ange thought of another person.

"Your grandfather too?"

He knew that Jing Rong was not a rude person.Even if he is cold at times, it is still towards the members of the group, and that kind of indifference is also a way for him to express his intimacy.Jing Rong, an outsider, has always been very cautious. If he expresses his disgust over and over again, there must be a serious problem somewhere.

Jing Rong glanced at him, nodded, "Yes."

"Do you still remember what he said?" Jing Rong asked.

Yi Ange thought for a while, and his expression changed.

——It is an odd number, which is inauspicious.

If the bird they were looking for, which ordinary people could not hear or see, could be called a strange number, then the supernatural beings were also different and ominous to ordinary people.

At the beginning, he didn't notice the deep meaning in this sentence. He just felt that it was wrong at that moment, but he didn't go into it.Now that I think about it, this is what the old man was referring to as a metaphor.

Yi Ange shook his head, tried to wake himself up, and kept up with Jing Rong's train of thought, "Then he is also a supernatural being, so he also included himself? Isn't that right?"

If the old man thinks that he is no different from ordinary people and that supernatural powers are a burden, it is reasonable to have that kind of thinking, but he seems to be very adapted to life with birds, so he can still say that his abilities are ominous, so to speak. Masochism, or self-loathing?

Jing Rong didn't seem to want to open his mouth to discuss this matter. After thinking for a long time with a calm face, he said, "His problems are far greater than my father's. He doesn't hate his own abilities. On the contrary, he enjoys the benefits brought to him by his abilities." He is also proud that his abilities can be inherited. But he believes that abilities are graded, just like the jungle, high-level abilities should be preserved, and low-level abilities should be eliminated. This is the only reason why he chose my father as his son-in-law .My father had the most powerful mental power at that time, and he was considered 'advanced' by my grandfather."

Jing Rong took a deep breath and let it out slowly, as if he wanted to push away all the bad things, then he leaned his head back on the sofa and rubbed the space between his eyebrows.

Jing Rong's frowning and exhausted look revealed a seductive sense of abstinence, but Yi Ange didn't have the time to admire his appearance now, but felt a chill down his spine.

On one side was the father who didn’t know if he had betrayed the base, and on the other was the grandfather who had paranoid ideas. At that time, Jing Rong was still young, and all the burdens were placed on his mother.

No wonder Jing Rong's mother's voice was so melancholy at that time.If you are tortured by such an environment for a long time, you will be crazy to change anyone.It's just that she persisted, probably for her own children.

Thinking about it, Yi Ange looked carefully at Jing Rong and asked, "Then your mother..."

Jing Rong's voice was calm, "Passed away, shortly after the base was destroyed."

"Sorry." Yi Ange said softly.

Jing Rong glanced at him, but didn't speak.Even if he didn't open his mouth, Yi Ange understood the meaning of this look. It was not something he could say sorry for, but Yi Ange couldn't help it.He had seen such a strong and sad woman back then and couldn't help feeling sorry for what had happened to her.

"In short, what happened 30 years ago cannot be separated from our family."

Jing Rong's voice was muffled, as if it had been held in a jar for a long time, and once it poured out, it carried an indescribable bitterness.

Yi Ange had never seen such a submissive Jing Rong, he was taken aback, and blurted out, "You..."

Jing Rong interrupted him suddenly, "Do you know why I went back to the base?"

"Because you are the 'peak' of supernatural beings?" Yi Ange vaguely remembered Feng Yu mentioning such a word before.

Jing Rong shook his head and said, "It has nothing to do with it."

He turned his head and looked out the window, the sunshine in the early summer afternoon was so beautiful that it was like an illusion.He stared at the shade outside for a long time, then turned around and said to Yi Ange, "This is atonement."

It is the sins left by the parents who should have been responsible, the guilt for all the supernatural beings who were forced to live outside, and the helplessness for what happened in the past and cannot be changed.

It is the last redemption of a man who grew up in a disaster.
