"Magic?" Gu Yi said, "What kind of magic..."

He fell silent.

The person in front of him became more and more transparent little by little, shining brightly like a shrinking sun.

Jin seems to have deliberately controlled the brightness. The light fell down quickly after being dazzling for a moment, and even turned into a shallow warm yellow, making him look like a son of God who came to the world in the holy light, even with the same smile as before. They all carry the grace that embraces all things.

"I was born like this," Jin said. "Isn't it amazing? It's like the embodiment of certain beliefs..."

Gu Yi nodded, and couldn't help reaching out to touch his skin.

It was warm, and in the warm light, the albino-like paleness no longer looked sick, but became more crystal clear, making him look like a radiant gem.

Jin said lightly: "That's why some religious people quickly found me and kept me in captivity as a bargaining chip for competition... At the same time - in order to beautify my background, they cleaned up my family."

Gu Yi was startled: "What?!"

Jin said: "Is it strange? No matter how perfect the times and laws are, these dark parts will always exist in the world..."

"No, I know that," Gu Yi said, "I just didn't expect..."

Because Jin looks very optimistic and positive, and it doesn't look like he is carrying such a heavy past.

Although he only had a simple sentence just now, Gu Yi can imagine how he found out the truth bit by bit, and how he tried so hard to escape from those people...

Many countries in Europe have an open atmosphere. With Jin's appearance and identity, coupled with this extremely "appreciative" talent, Gu Yi can imagine what he has encountered without guessing.

Jin obviously knew what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "Your Lou Xiao gave me a second life!"

He sighed softly, obviously thinking of some unpleasant past events: "I won't go into details, but 'light' is not only for lighting, but also has many, many uses."

Gu Yiyi was considerate and didn't continue to expose people's scars. After thinking for a while, he suddenly realized one thing: "You said that your supernatural ability is innate?" A person born with supernatural powers, "Is it because of... a genetic mutation?"

"No," Jin shook his head and said, "It's passed down from generation to generation."

Gu Yi's heart skipped a beat, and he instantly remembered Lou Xiao's abilities and side effects from his mother: "Inherited?"

Jin nodded: "My great-grandmother was a witch who was almost burned to death - she voluntarily became the experimental subject of Lou's studio on the eve of the burning, and possessed the ability of 'fire' for a short time."

Gu Yi knew a little about witches.

After the fall of Western Rome, the European continent has been fighting for many years, and the development of social productivity has almost stagnated. Various religious persecutions of the people reached their peak in the dark Middle Ages. From the 15th to the 18th centuries, there was even a wave of "witch hunting". Hundreds of thousands of "witches" were executed, and countless women from good families became unjust souls.

Ironically and absurdly, when those sanctimonious judges interrogate witches, they often even perform "witchcraft" to control witches.Praying like modern cults, pouring holy water into their stomachs, executing naked | torture, playing with and insulting beautiful "witches" to satisfy their ugly desires... In the interrogation records of the execution of "witches", it is even grandiose to write Words such as "that woman is beautiful and plump".

It was a very shocking history. After reading a few reports in a hurry, Gu Yi couldn't bear to look closely at the tragic experiences of those innocent girls.

However, Jin looks only in his twenties, and no matter how old his great-grandmother is, she should not be more than a hundred years old. Just a hundred years ago, in Europe, there were still incidents of casually framing a good girl as a "witch" and allowing her to be wronged and executed. ?

Jin saw his doubts and said, "Lou Xiao helped me get my great-grandmother's diary—she is a doctor."

a doctor...

Gu Yi felt extremely uncomfortable.

Are those people crazy? !

"At that time, a large-scale plague occurred in the town where she was located," said Jin. "Because of the concealment and inaction of those in power, the disease spread rapidly—they needed a reasonable and effective shield to quell public anger."

"Grandmother was sent to the stake by the patients she personally treated."

The plague is the Black Death. The most critical part is actually the isolation and disinfection of patients. If left unattended, it will easily cause a large-scale epidemic to spread.

Gu Yiyi can almost completely imagine what happened at that time. The young female doctor tried her best to use scientific methods to help the ignorant city residents, but was opposed and blocked time and time again.

Seeing the ever-increasing death toll, the female doctor was so heartbroken that she even secretly prepared a disinfectant, ignoring the risk of being infected, and sneaked into the quarantined epidemic areas in the middle of the night to spray disinfectant...

However, those who were rescued took the lead in identifying her and rushed into her house with officers, swearing that she had cast a dark witchcraft, which caused the whole town to fall into purgatory...

"I saw her quietly spraying the foul-smelling potion! The witch must be casting a vicious spell!"

"I saw her sneaking into the city infested by demons because she is a devout believer of demons!"

"Burn her! She's a witch! The root of all evil!"

They transferred all their fear and hatred to her and cursed viciously to burn her to death!

The flames were shining brightly, and the female doctor disappeared from the fire in the astonishment of everyone, with pitiful and complicated eyes.

"However, these people in power died of illness after exhausting all kinds of measures." This is probably the reason why Jin is now relieved, "At that time, Fire directly rescued at least a dozen innocent women... After that, it even indirectly saved the entire town. remaining population."

Gu Yi said: "Did she still not leave? She was injured like this, so she decided to stay and deal with the plague..."

"Yes," Jin said with a smile, "people are really different. If it were me, I would probably burn down the whole city..." He shook his head, "but not only did she not leave, she also used the Fire , almost perfectly solved the problem of disinfection in the epidemic area.”

Effective sanitation and strict isolation and disinfection are almost the most effective and only way to eliminate the plague.

Even today, 100 years later, many battlefields and poor areas are still limited by conditions and unable to meet the basic requirements of disinfection, but because of a special ability, they were able to perfectly solve the relevant problems a hundred years ago.

"The light on my body is a mutation of fire—that's why they killed my family. The offspring of those who were condemned as witches gave birth to the son of God. It's so ironic..."

Jin looked at him, and finally stated his purpose for telling this story: "The supernatural potion has saved thousands of people."

"—not just fire, even now, at this moment, a certain kind of medicine may complete new salvation in any corner of the world."

"Only," Jin's smile faded in the light, "'light' and Lou Xiao gave me a second life. I am so lucky, when I was struggling alone in hell, there was Lou Xiao pull me out..."

"But what about Lou Xiao?" Jin said, "He doesn't even want to extend his hand to others..."

He quietly looked at Gu Yi.

"Because he hurts when he touches others."
