In the end, the matter was left unresolved. In any case, the Tree Loli incident could now be considered one of those urban Ghost Stories... As for what they would tell the public, Wang Hai pondered it for a while. First of all, they could forget about that ridiculous "telepathic transmission" Jiu Ming had mentioned.
People were sometimes ruled by all sorts of things, but they were not always so dark. Wang Hai himself was no fanatical lunatic researcher or anything. Even if he knew about it, at most he would curse inwardly a couple of times. And then what?
Other than feeling a little envy, jealousy, and resentment, what else could he do?
As for clones... that was easier to explain. Such abilities had precedents on record, and there was more than one kind, though none had ever existed in such exaggerated numbers. Perhaps they could devise a new ability... After all, not every supernatural ability humans might develop had been recorded so far. It was much like the mutation of Exotic Beasts.
Though such abilities could possibly be inherited, the randomness was highly uncontrollable. Who knew when one or two new abilities might emerge—today or tomorrow? There had once even been someone with the ability of "Word Spirit"!
Though the effects of that ability were truly damned... damned ridiculous!
It was useless on oneself! That was right. Heaven had bestowed the person with such an incredible ability, only to restrict it at the same time. Whenever he wanted to use it, he could only rely on someone else... For instance, if someone looked at the sea before him and disliked it, wanting to flatten it, he could voice that thought. So long as the Word Spirit user acknowledged it, activating his ability could flatten the sea before them...
