Chapter 13 Message from the Otherworld

After hearing Luke's decision, Moore glanced at Philemon and found that his friend had a bitter look on his face.

Well, another father who can’t control his son.

However, he had fulfilled his obligations as a friend. Since Philemon already knew about it and had no objection, he could rest assured to tell Luke some of the knowledge about the supernatural.

Now that things have come to this, let's go and take care of my wife first. Anyway, I still have a small account now, and if things don't work out, I can open a third account. Philemon stood up and said to the two of them, "You guys chat, I won't listen to the rest."

After Philemon closed the door, Moore began to formally explain to Luke the specific information about the supernatural world in this world.

"The first thing I want to say is that supernatural information cannot be imparted to ordinary people at will. The more you know, the more likely you are to encounter supernatural events, which is too dangerous for ordinary people."

"Moreover, the popularization of extraordinary knowledge is also a disaster for the extraordinary world. There are some..." He paused, "some beings. If their information is known by too many people, it will naturally have an impact on the world. These things are not convenient for you to understand in detail at present."

After finishing this long speech, Moore took a breath and asked Luke: "You can ask any questions you have about the extraordinary world, and I will answer them as appropriate."

After that, he added, "Don't ask too many questions. You haven't entered the extraordinary stage yet. It's not good to know too much."

Luke had already prepared a plan in his mind, and he first asked the question that concerned him the most: "How can I become a superhuman?"

Sure enough, this question was not beyond Moore's expectations at all.

He said: "Humans have their limits. No matter how much we train and practice, we cannot achieve transcendence on our own. Therefore, we need some special 'seeds' to complete ourselves, just like the Holy Light Seeds that God has bestowed on the Church."

"Some seeds come from other extraordinary creatures. Generally speaking, we only need to kill them to obtain the remaining extraordinary seeds from their corpses." He took out the tooth he had just put away when cleaning the battlefield, and with a slight stimulation of his mental power, the tooth emitted a golden light and floated above the palm of his hand.

"Gold level seed - 'Tooth Fairy'."

"Of course, there are other situations, like the Tooth Fairy. In addition to killing, you can also choose to trade. When the Tooth Fairy takes a human tooth, it will leave a silver coin. Collect ten silver coins and you can summon the Tooth Fairy in exchange for a silver-level seed - 'Tooth General'."

"Of course, basically, those who can collect ten Tooth Fairy silver coins are organized supernatural beings. They often kill the Tooth Fairy directly after the transaction and then obtain the gold-level seeds from its corpse - killing two birds with one stone."

After that, Moore handed the tooth to Luke and said, "Carry it with you and feel it with your heart until you have a mystical connection with it. If you are sensitive enough, this will take about a month. When you can sense this tooth through your mind, you will become an apprentice of the extraordinary."

"Of course, this is modern society. According to what you young people call it, it is called a Level 0 Transcendent."

"Level 0 Transcendents don't have any special abilities, but once your connection with the Transcendent Seed becomes close enough, you will automatically obtain the ritual information for advancing to the next level from the seed. Once you complete the ritual, you can merge with the seed and become a Level 1 Transcendent."

Level 0 Transcendent, Level 1 Transcendent.
Luke thought of the two school shooters he had killed before. They were referred to as "Level 0 spiritual creatures" on the panel, which seemed to have a similar meaning.

So, was that school shooting, or massacre, actually a promotion ceremony for the two gunmen?
Moore explained some supernatural knowledge to him, but the more he learned, the more questions he had. He continued to ask: "Are there many tooth fairies in this world? Also, what is the difference between gold-level and silver-level seeds? Are there higher-level seeds?" Faced with a series of questions, Moore answered slowly: "Some supernatural creatures are individuals, while others are a group. Tooth fairies are typical level 3 urban dark creatures. In America, they exist in the inner world of every city, but they are rarely seen in the wilderness."

"The level advantage of extraordinary seeds is reflected in all aspects. Using high-level seeds to enter the extraordinary world will naturally be stronger than using low-level seeds. However, the higher the level of the seed, the greater the burden on its fuser. Even high-sequence extraordinary people will suffer mental breakdowns and wills from time to time."

"Gold-level seeds are actually quite rare. Even if the church is blessed by God, only one or two seeds will be born each year in the entire state."

"I don't know much about the Tooth Fairy sequence. Even the extraordinary people in the same sequence always have some unique abilities of their own. But generally speaking, it should be more like physical blessing, and there should be no side effects."

He emphasized, "Some extraordinary seeds can also enable people to enter the extraordinary realm, but they will bring some bad habits of the native species to the host, such as fear of sunlight, liking to eat grass, etc. If you want to become an extraordinary person, this 'Tooth Fairy' is a good choice."

Luke observed the porcelain-white teeth in his hand that had lost their luster. Naturally, he would not use this "Tooth Fairy". After all, there were better ones of the same sequence stored on the panel.

Before he could continue asking questions, Moore extended a finger in front of him and said seriously, "There is one more question left. You can't accept more knowledge in a short time."

Only one left?

Luke thought for a moment and asked the last question: "What is the attitude of the American government towards the supernatural world? Is there an official management agency?"

"Good question," Moore praised, "Officially, there is no supernatural organization, or rather—not yet."

"More than a decade ago, the White House set up an organization specifically targeting the supernatural world. I won't mention the name. At that time, they had the support of the FBI and, in some cases, could mobilize the military for cooperation. It was really - it was the talk of the town. After all, even second- and third-level supernatural beings are very vulnerable to modern high-powered thermal weapons."

"However, they did not expect that as the organization expanded, the staff increased, and knowledge accumulated, the attraction to the inner world became stronger and stronger. Moreover, the establishment of an official organization represented the official recognition of the inner world and the extraordinary. This recognition is also a very strong force, allowing certain beings to have a channel to connect with the real world."

"Then something unspeakable happened, and it was a disaster."

"Later, the White House banned this organization. Even though the top leaders knew about the existence of the supernatural world, the official position has always been a firm denial of it."

"By the way, the old site of that organization is now called Area 51 on the Internet. If I were you, I would definitely not explore there out of curiosity."

Area Fifty-One.
I have heard of it in this life and past life.

Luke had really been interested in that place, but he had never expected that there was such a big secret hidden there.

He silently drew a restricted area in his mind. As an old man, he would not go in to explore that kind of place, and would not even go near the outer area within a radius of ten kilometers.
