According to the Maya Calendar, when the earth entered the fifth solar era, all death would come.

At that time, human civilization and history would come to an end.

That day was December 21, 2012, the cutoff point of the end of the world.

*

The heavy rain outside the window did not stop. Gamma Ceti sat on the windowsill. She looked at the water marks on the glass window and fell into deep thought for a long time. No matter how they resisted, human beings could not escape the Maya Civilization's prophecy of the end of the world.

She was no exception. She died on that day, just like the others.

However, in this ordinary and simple life, this girl had been trying to fight against those invisible but real things. She resisted the oppression from the soul, but the innate sense of loneliness often lingered around her.

Ever since she was young, this girl did not want to live in that small town full of smog, nor did she want to look at the eyes of those guests who came to have fun … She once wanted to escape from her hometown, like a homeless person, forever without the direction of home.

Until after death, Gamma Ceti felt a little regret. Maybe her hometown was a terrible place, but … in the end, she could not go back.

Tonight's rain was very heavy. Shi Tianyi raised his hand and looked at his white and tender hand that was obviously ten years younger than before. The thin calluses that he had used to hold the saber had long disappeared without a trace.

When she came to this world and lived as an ordinary human again, she realized that she could no longer feel the power in her body that she was originally born with. She simply wanted to let out a long sigh.

Forget it. Since she came to a new world, even if she did not have the original power, she could work hard to survive.

And according to the local calendar, compared to 2012 AD, the timeline of this world had been pushed to the "future" realm.

In other words, it had skipped the judgment of the end of the world in the Maya Prophecy!

Nice new world!

Thank you for trying to survive!

Otherwise, I may not be able to live and be reborn!

Gamma Ceti was an optimistic person. She believed that people should not be limited to the difficulties in front of them, but should look at the long-term future.

There was a saying in philosophy … The road forward was tortuous, but the direction was bright. This was the true meaning of "development"!

Our little philosopher who grasped the essence of development was only five years old, but the world seemed very interesting to her: 80% of the population had superpowers, which they called "personalities."

Due to the various delusions of the past coming true, the order of the superpower society was thrown into chaos. In order to save the world that was about to be scrapped, a man chose to stand out and become a Super Show-Off!

… Wrong. Become a professional hero.

In short, as time passed, the panicked people gradually adapted to the changes in their lives brought about by the different superpowers, and society returned to normal. However, where people could not see, the professional heroes and the dark enemies who were trying to stir up trouble were still fighting non-stop.

The personality scientists of this world believed that people would reveal their "personality" at the age of three, but after the age of five or six, there was almost no hope of awakening a new personality.

Originally, Gamma Ceti was looking forward to her own personality, but when she found out three days ago that she had awakened a superpower from her previous life, she was as calm as an old dog and did not panic at all.

How to put it, it was like everyone agreed to take the college entrance exam, but you accidentally found out the answer in advance. Although it was stable from then on, the excitement and mystery immediately disappeared without a trace.

"Little Instant Flash, come over for the examination!

The doctor is here, everyone needs to line up for the personality examination ~ "The teacher behind her called out kindly. When she saw where she was sitting, she immediately ran over nervously," Little Instant Flash, don't sit on the windowsill, it's too dangerous. What if you fall? "

"Don't worry, teacher, I won't fall."

"You're so confident?"

"I'm not stupid."

Teacher: …

The black-haired girl thought silently. It's okay, this is the second floor, even if I'm stupid enough to fall, I won't die. At most, I'll lie in the hospital for a few months.

Especially after she awakened the personality of this life, she was even less afraid of slipping. At most, we can slow down time a few times, and there will be time to grab onto the windowsill to prevent herself from falling, right?

"Hehehe …" The poor female teacher laughed awkwardly. She was a new teacher who came to the orphanage this year, so she was not very good at dealing with little kids.

Fortunately, Gamma Ceti did not deliberately make things difficult for her, she just subconsciously did not want to be obstructed from doing what she was doing, even if it was just being in a daze.

This orphanage was not like the legendary black orphanages that did some human experiments all day long.

Because it was located on the outskirts of Yoto City, it was said that many dignitaries would regularly donate money to the orphanage. The director was a middle-aged woman with a kind face. She spent all the donations on the basic facilities of the orphanage. She opened the accounts on the bulletin board and the official website, and welcomed the supervision of all parties in the society. It appeared to be open and aboveboard.

Therefore, there were many children in this orphanage, and it had a good reputation.

But for some reason, Gamma Ceti's intuition was that she did not want to get close to the woman who was affectionately called "Mother Director" by other children, even if she was indeed a person who cared about children.

Today was the day she invited the experts from the big hospital in Tokyo who were good at personality tests to come for a diagnosis. The children excitedly lined up and waited at the door of the examination room, and several teachers walked back and forth to keep everyone quiet.

However, the naughty children were still excitedly whispering to the others.

"What do you think my personality will be?"

"I don't know. Didn't they say that if it doesn't appear before the age of five or six, the possibility of awakening in the future will be very small?"

Several children muttered, and one of them turned to look at Gamma Ceti who was sitting on a small stool expressionlessly and asked, "Shun Shun, what do you want your personality to be?"

"This kind of thing can't be decided by fantasy alone, right?"

Gamma Ceti opened her eyes. She had been sitting there with her eyes closed, not listening to the outside world. "If fantasy can solve problems, society will become peaceful and beautiful, and there will be no more enemies.

But in this way, those professional heroes are likely to lose their jobs, causing new social problems. However, fantasy can always solve all problems, and the world will become idealistic. "

The children:???

This girl … What the hell is she talking about?

Children's likes and dislikes were very obvious. Gamma Ceti said something that they did not understand all day long, making them look very silly. Therefore, these little children turned around and whispered to each other, obviously not wanting to continue playing with her.

Thank God, this was the real purpose of this child. Please, children, don't harass her anymore.

She just wanted to sit quietly on the small stool and be in a daze.

After about half an hour, it was finally Gamma Ceti's turn to go in for a physical examination. After a series of blood sampling and other tests that were like a devil's experiment for children, she covered the cotton swab on her arm that was used to stop the bleeding and walked into the expert's consultation room.

The expert was an uncle wearing a mask and glasses, with a stethoscope hanging around his neck. The girl could not see his expression clearly, but she could see that he seemed to be smiling.

Perhaps it was an illusion, but Gamma Ceti always felt that his smile seemed to be quite profound, as subtle as choosing vegetables and fruits she liked in the market.

"Child, what's your name?" the expert asked.

Gamma Ceti replied with a cold face, "I don't want to answer this question, and isn't it written on the form in your hand?"

Are you blind?

However, the expert patted the form good-naturedly and put it back on the table. He laughed awkwardly under the mask, "Haha, what a child with personality!

Come on, sit down, let us see what your 'personality' is. "

"Do you feel that there is something wrong with your body in your daily life?"

"No."

"Do you have a lot of strength?

For example, when you fight with other children, can you easily beat them? "

Gamma Ceti was speechless. What kind of stupid questions was this expert asking?

"I never fight with other children, so I don't know if I have a lot of strength."

As a socialist successor and student who grew up under the red flag since childhood, fighting was a distant thing. At most, she only began to learn how to use violence to save the world after she entered university.

Looking at the little girl in front of him who spoke so confidently, this time it was the expert's turn to be silent. One had to know that even the most well-behaved child in the orphanage would more or less have conflicts with other children due to various things. It was rare to see a child who said that she never fought …

Maybe it was because she had a spiritual affinity?

So the expert asked, "Do you usually get along with other children happily and harmoniously?"

"It should be okay, but they don't dare to come close to me."

"Why?"

Gamma Ceti pondered for a few seconds before answering, "Probably because they think that my IQ crushes theirs?"

The expert was speechless.

This was really interesting. He had been a doctor for decades and had rarely seen such a difficult child.

"Why do you think that your IQ is higher than others?" he asked with great interest.

"IQ test experiment, doctor."

Gamma Ceti was very suspicious of this guy's professionalism. "Isn't this data obvious at a glance?"

Did this so-called expert even do an IQ test?

The expert, who didn't know that he was being dissed by a child, picked up the data sheet. The IQ column on it said 125, which was considered excellent. But looking at the entire orphanage, there were several children whose IQ was higher than 140.

"Since you know the existence of this value, then are you familiar with those children?

Just those children whose IQ is higher than yours. "

"… You're so annoying, uncle." Gamma Ceti put on a dangerous expression as if she was going to make a scene at any time.

"Be patient, Shun Yi. I'm also trying to test your personality."

After half an hour of rambling and trying physical fitness, blood, spirit, communication, and other tests, the expert regretfully came to a conclusion.

"I'm sorry, but child, I'm afraid that you are — — 'without personality.' Although it's rare, 20% of the world's population still has this problem."

Gamma Ceti's childish little face slowly became teary, but she still pretended to hold back her tears and jumped down from the chair. She didn't wait for the expert to finish nagging and said, "Then, goodbye, uncle."

The expert's words were stuck in his throat halfway. What's going on?

This child is so depressed.

Okay, okay, she's probably going to hide somewhere and cry, right?

"Well, if you show signs of personality in the future, please come to our hospital or other big hospitals in Tokyo for the relevant examination immediately."

The expert said goodbye with a sympathetic face, but Gamma Ceti had already run to the door and ran out without even saying goodbye.

"Aiya, aiya, what a sad child."

The doctor scratched his head. When he saw that there was no one around, he took out an obviously old file from the drawer and turned to one of the pages. It was a picture of Gamma Ceti when she first arrived at the orphanage. He didn't know who her biological parents were or where she came from, but what was written in the personality column?

[Personality Status: Taken]

"Don't blame me. It's your honor to be chosen by the higher-ups with your personality … Maybe it's not a bad thing to be an ordinary person in this world."

The doctor said to himself, took out a black pen, and wrote a comment in the "follow-up" column at the bottom of the file.

— — It has been five years since the target's personality was taken. During this period, there are no signs of awakening or the birth of any new personality.

Observation level can be lowered.

The expert wrote quickly in the room, but he didn't know that the eyes of the little girl outside the room suddenly became gloomy.

She raised the back of her hand to wipe away the tears squeezed out by her acting. She hurried through the crowd of naughty children to the toilet.

When she ran her right hand through her hair, a small and simple listening device made of radio parts slid into her hand.

Next, she had to go to the toilet to destroy the listening device to prevent it from being detected that she had installed a listening device under the chair.

Sure enough, there was no difference from her memory. At that time, she thought that her brain was not working well because she had just been reborn.

Gamma Ceti had a headache and shook off the teacher who wanted to ask about the situation. She got into the toilet and locked the door.

She leaned back against the door and let out a long breath.

The reason why she hid her newly awakened "personality" for less than two days was just to confirm one thing.
