Chapter 41: Initiation Ceremony

【Injury Aura】

Heal, share the wounds of fellow humans, and soothe the soul.

A rather simple description is that it is a group healing aura, and it is only effective on the same type of people, which seems a bit unworthy of the four-character name.

"Master Protector, there seem to be some changes in the flock of sheep! The injuries of some sheep are getting better! One sheep seems to be glowing." Guang Sue Liang Gong observed that the sheep's injuries were recovering rapidly, and hurriedly reported to Shiraishi Hang.

Bai Shihang pretended to look at it twice and nodded: "Yes, it should be that a sheep has awakened some kind of healing ability."

"Should we suspend the experiment and capture the awakened sheep separately?"

"No need. The experiment will continue. Only those who survive are qualified to become chess pieces."

Guang Sue Liang Gong looked at the flock of sheep with some envy, but quickly adjusted her attitude. In fact, it should be the flock of sheep that envied her.

As the experiment progressed, Bai Shihang finally saw the outrageous aspect of this ability.

No matter how the predator bites any of the ordinary sheep, the halo will share the damage with the sheep with the adapted rigid body, and no damage will be caused at all.

In the end, it was Shiraishi Hang who took action himself. The aura of increased pressure distributed the damage to all the sheep, and the stronger the sheep, the more they borne.

In other words, this ability also depends on how many people of the same kind are around you and how strong they are.

It's an interesting ability, but it's a bit useless for Bai Shihang now, unless he controls several parasites to appear at the same time and share the damage with each other. But this halo has a distance limit. If he has the time to resist, why not just choose to walk in the void and be immune to damage?
But it's better than nothing. There was a sudden change in Guangsuoliang Palace's first arrangement, which was a good sign from a metaphysical point of view.

Two days later.

A winery owned by the Hananishiki Group on the outskirts of Tokyo gathers bigwigs from all over the world, including heirs of major Japanese families, powerful ministers, and foreign chaebols. If the people here collectively sneeze, the financial world will shudder for three days.

They came here with only one purpose, which was to observe the initiation and pill-granting ceremony of the Holy Infant Society, the only supernatural force that had shown a cooperative attitude so far.

Although in Shiraishi Ko's setting, the Supreme Being to which Inagaki Miki belongs is also considered a force, after all, it has not revealed the means of bestowing the Holy Son Pill, and currently it is only in an attitude of mutual cooperation with the Special Affairs Bureau.

However, Inagaki was still invited as a special guest today.

A large amount of buffet food was set up early on on a lawn. People were walking around and talking to each other. Occasionally, you could see a few elderly people in wheelchairs, weakly communicating with the people around them, their eyes filled with desire and expectation.

Toyokawa Kamikiyo walked hand in hand with Nanako Hoshino, an idol singer who recently debuted and became popular for her sweet looks, through the rows of buffet tables, selecting food that suits their taste.

"Shangqing Jun, is there anything wrong with my outfit today? Is it too homely?" Hoshino tensed his body and asked the same question for the third time.

"It's nothing. We can't talk to those people. Don't worry about them. Want to eat durian?"

"I want to eat! But I have to stay in shape."

"Eat if you want to, and think about your figure tomorrow."

"Ahhh. So delicious!"

These two people seem out of tune with a group of political and business elites, but no one will look down on them. Many people even envy them for being able to step into the extraordinary field first and at such a young age.

"Is everyone here?" Nobuo Hirosue looked at his watch and asked his son.

Hirosue Hideyasu confirmed: "All the guests on the list are here, no one is late."

"Okay, you notify the members to enter, and I will go to assist the president."

"Yes."

In the center of the open-air venue was a carefully decorated area, with long rows of seats around it for spectators to sit in. As members gathered in uniform, people gradually took their seats according to the list.

Even if someone was dissatisfied with the seating arrangement, they were not stupid enough to make a fuss. Instead, they sat down with a smile and chatted with the people around them, seemingly not caring about this little thing at all.

Soon, the viewing seats were filled with guests, and in the center of the venue, a dozen members gathered. These were all loyal members who had been tested.

After a while, Nakai Hayabusa and Hirosue Nobuo carried the coffin into the venue and placed it in the center.

Holding candlesticks, the members sat cross-legged according to the positions arranged earlier. Guided by the president, the believers chanted the company's purpose.

"Please, new members come in--"

The new members sitting in the front stood up one after another and walked into the venue.

After they stood in place, the nine guardians descended from the sky, causing some exclamations.

After reciting the purpose and being granted social service, the highlight of the day, the elixir bestowing ceremony, began.

The Holy Infant, dressed in luxurious and mysterious clothing, floated up from the coffin. Nakai Hayabusa led the way in kneeling, and the other members followed closely behind.

Nakai Hayabusa announced the name of the person who took the elixir, and under a crowd of envious gazes, the five people knelt in front of the Holy Infant.

Even the seriously ill old man refused help from others, got down from the wheelchair tremblingly, and knelt down with difficulty.

The Holy Infant glanced at the people in front of him with an indifferent expression.

Among them were a man and a woman from the Special Affairs Bureau, both quite young, and then two old men in wheelchairs, one Westerner and one Oriental, as well as a Westerner who was about thirty years old.

The Holy Infant did not say a word, but just waved his hand, and five Holy Son Pills floated in front of them.

Finally, he looked around at everyone present, frightened them for a while, and then lay back on Lingshu.

Those who took the pills first expressed their gratitude, then swallowed it directly and felt the changes taking place in their bodies.

The most obvious ones were naturally the two old men. The illnesses that had troubled them for years disappeared without a trace, and the strength they had lost for a long time was gradually restored. Even though they were the actual controllers of well-known chaebols for many years, they could not control their cunning and laughed out loud.

“Is this the extraordinary?”

Jamie Walton clenched his fists lightly and muttered to himself, with a smirk on his face.

"Are you awake?"

"In addition to the super-dense skin, there's also a huge power increase."

"I also have super-dense skin, and I also have the ability to feel blurry feelings."

The two people from the Special Affairs Bureau talked in low voices.

[Blood Burning Technique]

This is the mutated ability of the Westerner, and also Bai Shihang's first three-word ability. Normally, it only improves physical fitness to a moderate extent. The main effect is that it can obtain the four abilities of [super strength], [rigid body], [regeneration] and [flight] by burning its own blood. The more abilities are used at the same time, the greater the consumption. After the outbreak, he will enter a weak period, and blood transfusion can speed up recovery.

【blade】

The male members of the Special Affairs Bureau have mutated abilities, and their strength is slightly increased. As long as they have swords, knives, axes and other bladed weapons in their hands, they will gain unprecedented proficiency, and can easily chop bullets with knives, and can even emit legendary attack methods such as sword light and sword energy.

It was somewhat beyond Bai Shihang's expectation that two people would awaken after taking the elixir at once, although these two abilities would most likely be kept in reserve.
