"No, nothing, I just didn't expect your phantasm to be so unique."
"Ahem, so, do you want to know the basic knowledge about awakeners?"
The nurse chief coughed awkwardly and changed the topic quickly.
This just meets the heart of Zhou Xin.
She really does want to know about the awakened ones.
In particular, she wants to know whether she herself can be considered an awakened one.
"Actually, what we call awakeners are beings among humans who suddenly gain supernatural power."
"You should know that, in this world, there are other creatures besides us humans."
"In order for humans to survive among these other creatures, we need to use the power of awakened ones."
The head nurse slowly narrated the origins of awakened ones.
From the Three Emperors and Five Dynasties to the modern era.
"But that said, in reality, even if humans have the power of awakeners, they are still not a match for other beings."
"Especially the heavenly court in the sky and the underworld beneath the earth; these two forces are the most elite beings in this world."
"Fortunately, Heaven has mercy on us humans and has decreed protection for our race, limiting the ability of the heavenly court and the underworld to move about in human society."
The head nurse pointed to the surroundings as she spoke.
Zhou Qin followed the head nurse's finger and saw a series of white mists gradually rising around the canteen.
"These white mist seem to be like air, the necessary nutrients for beings other than humans. Only when the mist rises can these beings glimpse the human world and appear here."
"If there are no white mists, beings will be sealed off by the heavens and earth, manifesting in a state similar to mental illness, such as the patients you are taking care of in Room 401 and Room 406."
The head nurse took a bite of rice, waiting for Zhou Xin to digest.
"So, Head Nurse, is the appearance of these white mists consistent, or do they occur worldwide?"
Zhou Xin recalled his experiences during this period.
Actually, if we count carefully, aside from the psychiatric hospital, she rarely sees scenes where white mist appears.
That is, she has seen white mist only twice when encountering ghosts.
"You've hit the nail on the head. The appearance of white mist indeed follows a pattern."
"When an area has too much killing, white mist will quietly appear."
"In addition, when there are supernatural events, a faint white mist will also be produced."
"But the white mist nourished by such supernatural events, its concentration is not as high as that of the former. It usually can only last one night, and the combat power of beings in such white mist will also be greatly reduced, resulting in losses."
There are two types of white mist.
One is inherent, this is a fixed white mist that is renewed in a certain area.
The other is acquired, which needs to reach specific conditions to be activated and is time-sensitive.
Zhou Xin carefully memorized these knowledge points, as they are related to her future life and property.
"Currently, we Zhongyuan City has three places where white mist will appear regularly. The first is the area directly below our psychiatric hospital, the second is the location of the Special Affairs Bureau."
"As for the third, because of some past mistakes, the region is currently not under human control, but has been taken over by the demon race."
When the head nurse mentioned this, her eyes flashed with a hint of anger.
It was clear that something from the past had caused the head nurse distress.
However, just as Zhou Xin was about to ask, the head nurse interrupted by raising her hand.
"It's not important, you just need to remember the general idea."
"Now, I will tell you about the awakened ones."
"So far, awakened ones can be roughly divided into five categories."
"Firstly, there are awakened ones who command the power of the universe, which we call the Natural System. Just like Lu Jianian that you saw today, he has mastered the power of fire."
"Secondly, there are awakened ones who have awakened a powerful physique, which we call the Superhuman System."
"Thirdly, those like us who can contract other beings are called the Summoning System."
"Fourthly, there are awakened ones who can alter the structure of objects, which we call the Living System."
"As for the last category, which is the most mysterious awakened one category, with the most unique abilities. For example, prophecy abilities, visionary abilities, and even the ability to control others' emotions. Because it is so mysterious, it is called the Mystic System."
Five categories of awakened ones.
In fact, they correspond to the five types of beings in the universe.
The Natural System corresponds to the immortals in the sky.
The Superhuman System corresponds to the demons on the ground.
The Summoning System corresponds to the ghosts beneath the earth.
The Living System is the symbol of humans.
As for the Mystic System, it corresponds to the most mysterious and unpredictable demons in the universe.
Following the head nurse's explanation, Zhou Xin silently compared her abilities in her mind.
However, when she summed up and counted, Zhou Xin still didn't know which category she should be classified in.
The skill of metamorphosis has given her the physique of the Superhuman System.
The skill of nurturing spirits has given her the ability to summon ghosts from the Summoning System.
Sky Punishment Lightning looks like the ultimate move of the Natural System.
The duplication of Tai Shan Seal and Ghost Gate has a sense of being the Living System's trick.
As for Zhou Xin, she doesn't seem to belong to the Mystic System, yet the Seal of Heaven on her arm is the most mysterious thing.
So what system does she actually belong to?
"There is still a lot of basic knowledge, and you don't need to rush to remember all of them in one night."
"Time's up, you should go check on the patients."
The head nurse picked up her empty plate, signaling Zhou Xin that it was time for her to start work.
"Wait, Head Nurse, one last question. What about those workers eating here? Are they really humans?"
Zhou Xin called out to the nurse chief who was about to leave.
She needed to figure out the state of her colleagues.
Or else she would have nightmares tonight!
"Oh, I forgot to tell you. You also know the special nature of our psychiatric hospital. In order to prevent casualties, the hospital director specifically had someone make a batch of these puppets, which are responsible for night security work."
The head nurse casually explained.
"Puppets? That's too realistic, isn't it."
Zhou Xin opened her mouth wide, with a shocked expression on her face.
"Yes, it is a puppet. But you don't need to be too surprised, as nowadays even gods and demons exist, so puppets are just a piece of cake."
"If you're interested, you can also buy one for yourself to play with. It's a customizable puppet, after all."
"Not only can they mimic human body temperature, but they also have a variety of shapes and appearances. There's nothing you can't think of, and nothing they can't do!"
The head nurse winked at Zhou Xin and lifted the corner of her mouth in a mysterious arc.
Customized?
For some reason, when Zhou Xin heard the four words "customized", an image of a white-clad White Lu suddenly appeared in her mind unconsciously.
