Chapter 228
"Lamp attribute?"
The female officer's tone remained steady, with a faint note of questioning mixed in. It sounded like she did not quite believe Xu Zhi.
It was not that she looked down on Xu Zhi. Rather, in a place like the lower districts, due to the uncontrollable force of the seasonal fog, after the upper districts of the city had been built, nearly all supernatural beings and those with wealth and power had moved there.
There was such a thing as "bloodline inheritance" among supernatural beings. Children born to two supernatural beings were generally more likely to possess talent. Secondly, the environment also affected supernatural awakening. Supernatural energy was scarce in the lower districts, so even children with talent often did not meet the conditions necessary to awaken as supernatural beings. On top of that, there was the fog in the lower districts.
Research into the fog remained a major challenge for every city, but it was common knowledge that living year-round in an area where the fog spread made supernatural awakening more difficult. The fog seemed to suppress supernatural abilities in some way.
For all these reasons, it was difficult for self-awakened supernatural beings to appear in the lower districts. Even when they did, most had low talent or various other problems.
What was more, though no one said it outright, there was clearly a hierarchy among supernatural abilities. Among them, [Lamp] was one of the harder supernatural attributes to awaken and the rarest in number.
Even in the upper districts, [Lamp] was relatively uncommon.
What was more.
She looked at Xu Zhi's frail body, wondering why, if the girl before her really was a [Lamp]-attribute supernatural being, she had suffered such severe injuries, and why no one had discovered or reported her all this time.
