Across Deep Space: Four Men and a Play

Perhaps because she had experienced the loss of her family and brother and faced life and death, Miaomiao was stronger and calmer than she thought.

After seeing those unknown sides, she was not scared but became more determined to join the team.

Xia Jiumeng said that if it was to save Xiaosen, she didn't need to do this, and she had promised her that she would rescue Xiaosen.

But Miaomiao shook her head at Xia Jiumeng, and her clean and pure eyes looked at her firmly and said, "Sister, I understand everything you said. My life was given by you, and it would be my honor to become a sharp blade in your hands in the future."

"And it's not just to save my brother. I also want to be the one who no longer fights against danger."

"I want to become stronger!"

She was strong enough that her life and death were no longer controlled by others. She believed that her sister was different from those people.

When Miaomiao was in the living center of the experimental base, she saw the older brothers and sisters training their superpowers. They were very strong, even more powerful than the adults in the fleet she saw when her brother or even her parents were there.

She wanted to be as strong as her brothers and sisters.

Being able to rescue my brother with my own hands and...repay my sister instead of just crying and waiting helplessly.

So she asked to join the team, even though Brother Dongyun told her it would be very hard, and after seeing all the dark things Sister Carter had shown her, she still wanted to join.

At this moment, Xia Jiumeng saw her past self in Miaomiao. She was equally confused but unwilling to be a weak person.

In the end, she agreed to Miaomiao's request and allowed her to join the pioneer team.

After that, before Miaomiao was injected with the genetic medicine, she was taught personally by Carter, but why did Dongyun suddenly mention Miaomiao?

"What's wrong?"

Could it be that Miaomiao is experiencing rejection?

Dong Yun hesitated for a moment, then slowly spoke, "Boss, I injected Miaomiao with a potion yesterday. Because of the initial preparation, her awakening process wasn't very painful. Her first ability is a rare shadow ability, but her second ability... has a unique fluctuation. Analysis suggests it's a 'forbidden ability.'"

Dong Yun's words sounded rather heavy, leaving Xia Jiumeng stunned for a long time.

Taboo department, a department that has not been heard of for many years.

In fact, there are not only natural, mutant, special, and rare superpowers, but also forbidden powers.

As the name suggests, the taboo system is taboo, a system of supernatural powers that should not exist or be mentioned.

Anyone with forbidden supernatural powers may cause devastating disasters to the world in the future.

It's not that these people with special abilities are evil or anything, but because people with forbidden special abilities will all, without exception, experience mental collapse and loss of control of their abilities after awakening.

People whose mental strength collapses will gradually lose their emotional rationality and eventually become a monster that only knows how to devour and kill.

Even in a world as civilized as Kester's, there is no one who can heal the self-destructive mental power of the forbidden ability users. Even the legendary 3s-level comforters cannot comfort them.

We can only watch helplessly as those special talents who should be the light of humanity turn into killing machines, and are finally abandoned by the world, sealed as taboos, and never mentioned again.

In Kester's history, there were many cases where forbidden superpowers caused great suffering to the people, which was not much better than that of the Zerg. Now, once people of this type were discovered, they would either face elimination or the destruction of their superpower roots and be placed under lifelong surveillance.

There is no other reason, because the Taboo system grows quickly and has rare abilities, and basically there are no rivals other than those in this system.

However, the forbidden system is even rarer than the rare system. It is basically difficult to find more than three forbidden systems in an era, and there is no way to contain them.

The only way to deal with this problem is to suppress it immediately when it is first discovered, so that it does not pose a threat in the future.

No wonder Dongyun contacted me so anxiously.

Dongyun and his colleagues' systems and the knowledge they learned all came from the base data center, and this data center was connected to Xiaoqi's database, which contained all of Kester's knowledge. Naturally, they knew everything about the taboo system.

The stairwell was silent for a moment. After a long while, Xia Jiumeng spoke solemnly, "Put a suppression ring on Miaomiao first. Don't let her come into contact with any superpowers or energy items, or anything related to superpower learning. We'll talk about everything after I come back."

"Pay attention to calming her emotions."

Taboo powers have a common characteristic. Once awakened, they will autonomously devour the surrounding energy to promote their rapid growth. Others may need a year or two to reach a higher level, but Taboo powers can do so in half the time or even faster.

So you have to wear a suppression ring.

The supernatural energy in this world is very suitable for the growth and absorption of supernatural powers. Before there is a suitable solution, it is necessary to control all the ways that Miaomiao can obtain supernatural energy.

Dongyun: [Yes, boss. I'll make arrangements right away, but Miaomiao can't be kept there forever. When will you be back?]

"As soon as possible."

Dongyun: [Okay.]

After hanging up the phone, Xia Jiumeng looked at the tall buildings outside the stairwell window and fell into silence for a moment.

The taboo system was too special. If it was someone else, she might have "cleared" it without hesitation, but this person was Miaomiao, the little girl who she had tried to rescue, the shadow of her past. She admitted that she hesitated.

The teacher might know more about taboos than she does, so she would go to the teacher first when she gets back.

After giving Dongyun instructions, Xia Jiumeng looked at the message Li Shen sent in the morning.

Li Shen: I’m going to give a speech at Linkong University this afternoon. Are you interested in coming and listening?

Xia Jiumeng: Okay, I should be off work by then.

Li Shen: Okay.

Li Shen: [Positioning].
