Chapter 2 - Chapitre 2

The two enter the apartment.

Here is Vati, a boy with a lot of potential.

Hi Vati, it's Pri-pri, I'm uh Abellio's assistant.

Hello, sir.

"Come on, come."

They sit around a table with a strange white knife in the middle, Abellio and Pris-pris next to each other and Vati alone on the opposite side.

Abellio leaned in closer and asked Vati a question.

Do you know what the human population on Earth is?

"Thirty-three billion, I believe," replies Vati.

"33 333 333 333 EXACTLY HAHA!"

Said Abellio with exultation.

And it's been going on for decades,

Every time a human dies at the exact moment, another is born, and every time a human is born, another dies at the same moment. It's an important mystery that I can explain to you, but first, grab this knife.

Vati was consumed by curiosity and he complied without thinking.

Upon touching the knife, a psychic and paranormal vitality coursed through it, and a luminous blade appeared on the knife, transforming it into a sword.

"wooow" Vati

"wooow" Pri-pri

"wooow" Abellio

It works, thought Abellio

Abellio: "Very well, I will explain how our world works to you!" he said with a smile.

His heart was pounding, his hands were trembling, and his breathing was irregular because Vati knew that this moment would completely change his life and his monotonous routine, and lead him into a new world filled with mysteries and excitement.

Abellio: "Several decades ago, the human population reached the critical number of 33,333,333,333 individuals." The scientists of the time thought it would be a collapse of civilizations due to the lack of resources and possible wars.

The religious people, on the other hand, thought it was a divine sign, a marker of the apocalypse.

Yet, as you can see, everyone is living quite well.

There was no more shortage or war than usual, and there were no killer angels who came to massacre everyone.

In fact, the Earth has never experienced such a stable period, so stable that since then, no earthquakes, no tsunamis, no storms, no volcanic eruptions, or any other natural disasters have been detected.

Even seasonal epidemics, POOF!! GONE!!

But in a way, they were all right, except that the wars and the apocalypse are happening here.

Abellio touched his forehead with a finger.

Our active brains, focused in the same place on our planet Earth, have created a kind of singularity.

It may seem implausible, but the planet has become a zone where space, time, and the laws of physics can be altered according to the will of our collective neural networks.

ISN'T IT FANTASTIC?!!!

Please provide the text you would like to have translated.

He caught his breath and lowered his head again.

Except for a certain point, like a cancerous cell that has become autonomous, clusters of our psychic energies have gained their own will, and some are extremely powerful, but also very hostile towards humanity.

But humanity being well-made, some of us can directly use this energy to fight these hostile spirits.

They are called superheroes, humans who, through their will, are capable of surpassing their mortal conditions to protect their fellow beings.

I am part of it, and after what you did with the knife, I think you could also be part of it.

So Vati, do you agree to...

Before Abellio could finish his sentence, Vati responded directly.

"AGREED!"

It's so incredible and so important, how could I refuse, I finally feel that I can give meaning to my life.

I feel like I'm coming back to life.

"Yes, yes, I accept."
