Chapter 623: She Has Been Accepted by the Program
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
When she was in Mount Li, her god grandfather had given her a book that detailed the evolution of Espers.
Espers had existed in this world for a very long time. Historical records stated that they had existed for hundreds of years, but it might be even longer than that.
This was because, in earlier times, technology was still underdeveloped. No one would know if there were Espers around. They would just treat any abnormality as a supernatural incident.
The first batch of Espers recorded in the book was a special group called the Snake Race.
The earliest time this strange Snake Race appeared was at the end of the Qing Dynasty.
Legend had it that this race ate snakes as food and was immune to all poisons. They lived in the deepest parts of the mountains and forests. For some reason, their entire race had mutated and their bodies gradually took on the characteristics of snakes.
For example, the snake scale on She Qi’s body and his snake eyes were typical features of snakes.
They also began to develop some talents and habits of the snake species.
But, at the same time, the Snake Race also seemed to suffer from a terrifying curse. As their bodies mutated, they also developed an illness.
Usually, the Snake Race looked no different from normal people. They could control their appearance and not reveal the physical features of a snake.
But every once in a while, they would experience a loss of control.
This meant that they could no longer freely control the energy in their bodies. They couldn’t maintain the appearance of a normal person. It was as if they were poisoned, and the energy in their bodies would become violent.
Violent energy could bring about pain worse than death. Many of the snake race people could not endure such pain and ended their own lives.
As time passed, the Snake Race gradually disappeared. According to historical records, the last sighting of the Snake Race was during the Republic of China period.
Thereafter, there were no traces of the Snake Race anymore.
Many people speculated that the Snake Race had gone extinct.
Chi Jiao played with the scale in her hand, her eyes as dark as the night.
It would be a little hasty to conclude that She Qi was from the Snake Race just based on this scale.
The best solution was to send this scale to Mount Li and have her god grandfather personally examine it.
The old master had been studying the Snake Race for a long time. She remembered that he also had a scale from the mutant snakes.
If She Qi was really a member of the Snake Race, this could also explain why she couldn’t pry into his past and future through his blood.
(If you have problems with this website, please continue reading your novel on our new website myboxnovel.com THANKS!)This was because the Snake Race people could no longer be considered humans.
Just like Shen Xing, he had become a complete Esper.
Thinking of She Qi’s venomous gaze, Chi Jiao slowly clenched her fists.
She must find She Qi and scrape off his scales one by one!
When she heard the bathroom door open, the murderous look on Chi Jiao’s face disappeared. She raised her clear eyes and looked at Quan Jue, who was walking towards her, with a gentle and innocent expression.
“The water is ready. Go take a bath first. I’ll make you a bowl of noodles. You can have a good sleep after eating.” Quan Jue walked over to Chi Jiao. He squatted down and looked up at her.
Chi Jiao nodded obediently.
“Don’t think too much.” Quan Jue was still worried.
“I know.” Chi Jiao nodded again.
Quan Jue pinched her little face. “Go on.”
*****
Chi Jiao slept all the way until noon the next day when she was woken up by a call.
Service staff from the live-stream entertainment program Salted Fish called to tell her that she had been accepted by the production team. He told her to report to the company headquarters in Shang Jing on Saturday.. The live broadcast would officially begin on Saturday night.
