Chapter 3 03: Miracle
After Nakai Hayabusa confirmed with a few soft calls that the Holy Infant had fallen asleep, he asked his assistant to carefully place the Holy Infant back into the morgue. During the whole process, everyone tacitly kept silent, but their eyes always inadvertently fell on the two Holy Infant Pills in Nakai Hayabusa's hand.
Everyone is wondering what bargaining chips they have so that they can enjoy the Holy Son Pill first.
Although the Holy Infant said that he would bestow more Holy Son Pills on June 6, it is still a full half month away from today. After seeing the dawn, who would be willing to continue swallowing the bitter darkness?
And there's no telling how many pills there will be at that time, and there will be so many people. Even if the core members have an advantage, there may be other members who are more pious than them.
Although Nakai Hayabusa, who was holding the pills, wanted to give both pills to his confidants, he knew that his two confidants could not be called members at all. They were just Yakuza before, and they were not doing well. They knew that he was cheating people and only followed him for money. If he gave them power, they might bite him back one day.
But now, since the Holy Infant is real, all the core members can become his confidants, and it seems that what the Holy Infant cares about is only the number of members.
Nakai Hayabusa's eyes swept over the seven core members and he already had a plan in mind.
"Everyone, you have heard that more elixirs will be given in half a month. And as you can see, I have indeed taken the Holy Son Pill, and it has infinite benefits." Nakai Hayabusa confirmed everyone's speculation.
This pill can actually make people younger!
The two old men were so excited that they wanted to pull down Nakai Hayabusa's trouser legs.
"Since we all belong to the Holy Infant Society, we are all a family. I have decided to give these two Holy Child Pills to the youngest and oldest among us. The rest of you, please continue to wait for half a month. I promise that in the next ceremony, as long as I continue to distribute the Holy Child Pills, you will be given priority." Nakai Hayabusa did not dare to say too much, but it still sounded quite important.
"I agree!" The oldest old man stood up suddenly, his face flushed.
The couple also looked happy. Whether it was their son or the two of them, they were the youngest at the scene.
The others looked at each other, but ultimately did not refute.
"It should."
"I can wait for the next batch, President, please remember me!"
"Boss, if I eat a child, will it make me smart and filial?"
Nakai Hayabusa answered all the questions patiently, and then solemnly handed the Holy Son Pill to the couple and the oldest man.
"Although Lord Saint Infant didn't say it, I must watch you take it on the spot. If you do, I will also go to the hospital with you." To be on the safe side, Nakai Hayabusa decided to witness them swallowing the Saint Infant Pill.
"No problem, it's OK." The couple nodded, and then looked at the old man, who was holding a somewhat large pill. Another old man next to him handed him a thermos cup. The two smiled at each other, and the old man swallowed it in one gulp.
Gulu.
Everyone stared at the old man who had just swallowed the pill, as if they wanted to witness some miracle.
Five seconds, ten seconds, twenty seconds
Under the eager gaze of the people present, a miracle happened at this moment.
The old man's wrinkled face seemed to be gently smoothed by an invisible hand, and his complexion gradually became healthy and rosy. Even his scalp, which had been shaved off due to chemotherapy, sprouted a layer of short black hair. In just one day, strictly speaking, within an hour, the old man completed the three-level transformation from questioning the crazy members, to understanding the crazy members, and becoming a crazy member.
From this moment on, even if the Holy Child said that suicide could lead to going straight to heaven and never suffering again, he would do it without hesitation and bring his family to that beautiful heaven as well.
His hands were shaking with excitement, and he kept rubbing his face and hair. The old man suddenly burst into tears and laughed. Only by kneeling down and kowtowing to the coffin of the Holy Infant could he slightly express his excitement, which was less than one ten-thousandth of his emotion.
The onlookers were no less excited than the old men. The members were in ecstasy. Even the two assistants showed an obvious shake in their worldview. The scientific world seemed to collapse in an instant.
Nakai Hayabusa glanced at the crowd who were unable to contain themselves, and felt that it was not until today that the Holy Infant Society finally began to look like what it should be.
However, Nakai Hayabusa was a little confused. After testing, he found that the old man seemed to have not obtained the gift of power.
Could it be that what he had taken was not the Holy Son Pill, but a pill of a higher level?
He thought it was possible. After all, he was the president "elected" by the Holy Infant, so it seemed normal for him to receive special treatment.
In excitement, Nakai Hayabusa announced the end of today's meeting. Next, he would follow the couple and watch them give the Holy Son Pill to their son, and verify whether his guess was correct.
In fact, Nakai Hayabusa's guess was only half right.
What Bai Shihang gave them to eat were balls of parasites, but not everyone could directly obtain his two current abilities - [Super Strength] and [Rigid Body]
Some people are adaptable to both abilities and can be directly endowed with them, but the old man can only adapt to the rigid body, and becoming younger and getting rid of diseases are just side effects of the rigid body.
It just so happened that Bai Shihang also wanted to collect experimental data to see how the adaptability of [supernatural strength] and [rigid body] was after the sample size was expanded, and whether the reason why the old man could not inherit the supernatural strength was because of old age and physical weakness, or other deeper reasons.
At the same time, I also want to try and see what the consequences will be if I only inherit the supernatural power.
Not to mention Shiraishi Ko's many thoughts, at this time Nakai Hayabusa had already followed the couple to a single room in a private hospital.
The husband stood at the door to avoid being disturbed. His wife held the "pill" and, under the encouraging gaze of Nakai Hayabusa, helped her son, whose face had turned pale due to long-term physical weakness and illness, and gently asked him to swallow it.
The thin twelve-year-old boy seemed more mature and sensible than other children because of his long-term illness. Although he didn't quite believe in the strange thing his mother brought, in order not to disappoint his mother, he still swallowed the pill with water with difficulty.
Watching her son change little by little, the mother covered her mouth with excitement, and tears burst out without any warning.
"Can it only adapt to rigid bodies?" Bai Shihang murmured and wrote it down.
Not long after, hearing the excitement and joy coming from the ward, the husband who was guarding the door smiled, cried, and prayed: "Holy Child, thank you for giving me the new life." Then he wiped his tears, turned around, opened the door, and rushed in.
Amid the agonizing wait of other witnesses, the ordinary day of June 6th finally arrived.
