Hand Of God

Chapter 49 Was it a coincidence?

After obtaining an assessment-free admission spot, they all went home to celebrate wildly at the first opportunity, firmly believing in their bright future and that they would definitely reach the pinnacle of life. But they didn't expect that after a hellish trial, they would face such a terrifying world situation. At that moment, each of them was pondering on their own.

And Adam was completely oblivious to these huge mental shocks and the complete uncertainty about the future.

Because he wasn't listening at all; his mind was still echoing that question: Which world does the owner of Hand of God come from?

"Hey, what's wrong with you?" Diana, who had noticed Adam's odd behavior, gently nudged him with her elbow.

But Adam seemed to be numb, not moving at all. It was only after she nudged him several times in a row that he finally looked up in a daze.

Diana was extremely puzzled. In her impression, Adam was a person with extremely good psychological quality, able to remain indifferent to everything.

Although the truth about superhumans was cruel and hard to accept, she didn't think this news would break Adam.

After all, facing more than a dozen Acolytes without any experience, Adam was expressionless and ruthless in his actions. How could his mentality change so much because of this?

"Diana, do you know about 'the father of all superhumans'?"

"What is his real name? Is he still alive?"

Diana frowned slightly and thought for a moment, saying:

"That was a long time ago, and I'm not quite clear about it. I've collected a lot of information, but the authenticity of the messages that have been passed down is also questionable."

"As for whether he is still alive, no one is sure, but he suddenly disappeared from the world."

"Oh." Adam nodded and returned to his thoughtful expression.

Thomas finished speaking and let all the students go back to rest, as the thirty-six hours of intense combat was quite physically exhausting. They would return the next day to distribute rewards and conduct a two-way selection between students and universities.

On his way to the dormitory, Diana followed from behind. This time, seeing Diana coming, Adam slowed down on his own and looked back at her.

"You said you've collected information about 'the father of all superhumans,' can you give it all to me?"

Hearing Adam ask that question so quickly, Diana realized that he didn't seem to care about the so-called truth of the superhuman world at all. Instead, he had always been inexplicably interested in that superhuman predecessor who lived hundreds of years ago.

So she nodded and said, "Sure, but you have to promise me one thing."

"What's that?" asked Adam.

"Join Orienta University."

"Deal!"

After saying that, Adam gestured to keep walking and continued forward. He answered very decisively, without any hesitation or concern for future development or other topics. In his view, such a trivial matter was of no consequence; he just wanted to learn more about the mysterious 'father of all superhumans' and what he had done.

Seeing Adam's straightforward response, Diana was quite surprised. She had prepared many arguments and excuses, but they were all left unsaid. After all, it would be hard to directly express her hope to be at the same university with him. It was a good thing that Adam didn't press for more.

They walked in silence until Adam quickly reached his apartment door. He opened it and gestured, saying, "Please come in?"

After checking that no one was around, she stopped hesitating and went in directly. She sat on the sofa without any small talk, and Adam's eyes, filled with anticipation, were already on her.

It was clear that he was genuinely interested in the story of 'the father of all superhumans' and had no other ulterior motives. Inviting a beautiful woman to his room just to listen to a story was quite innocent.

Seeing this, Diana didn't waste any more time on pleasantries. She took out her phone and started searching. "Hold on, let me find it. I was also very interested in that great person and collected a lot of information about him."

"Of course, I'm not sure about the accuracy of this information."

Adam didn't disturb her and thoughtfully took out two bottles of drinks from the fridge, placing them on the table. After a while, it seemed like she had found something, and Diana said, "His real name is currently unverifiable, but it's said that he traveled the world, never married or had children, and often called himself a Wanderer."

Seeing this, Diana's pupils suddenly shrank, and she paused for a moment. Although she hadn't yet confessed her online identity to Adam, she clearly remembered that his online nickname was also Wanderer! Was it a coincidence?

"What's next?" Adam asked eagerly when he saw her stop.

"Oh, it's said that he was powerful, the first superhuman among humans, and likely the strongest one. He initiated the emergence of superpowers and started the era of superhumans."

"Many people believe that he is the God living in this world! At one point, some even worshipped him as their faith."

"It's said that the best description of him is the ten facts about Wanderer (the father of all superhumans)."

After saying this, Diana suddenly frowned and looked a bit strange, as if she couldn't continue. She seemed to doubt whether she had read it wrong and kept flipping through her phone. Under Adam's urging, she continued with a stiff expression:

"First, when Wanderer was ten years old, he decided to live on his own, so his parents had to move to another house."

"Second, when Wanderer visits your home, you are the guest."

"Third, Wanderer never lies; if there's a problem, it's because the facts are wrong."

"Fourth, oxygen needs Wanderer to survive."

"Fifth, in school, teachers need to raise their hands to talk to Wanderer."

"Sixth, if Wanderer is late for school, other students will be punished for arriving too early."

"Seventh, when Wanderer looks in the mirror, he sees nothing, because there is only one Wanderer in the world."

"Eighth, Wanderer doesn't think he is God, but God thinks he is Wanderer."

Diana's lively voice echoed in the room, and Adam sat on the sofa, stunned.

What on earth was this? Was this supposed to be funny?

He sat there, dumbfounded, originally wanting to know some information about that predecessor, but now he was completely bewildered. After a long while, he subconsciously asked, "What about the last two?"

"The last two were not recorded."

"It's said that it's because Wanderer didn't allow the world to know everything about him."

After saying all this, Diana also helplessly covered her forehead. She never expected such a prank.

Adam asked in silence, "Is there anything else?"

Diana: "Nothing."

Adam: I asked in vain.

"You said he once posed a question to the whole world that no one could answer."

"Is there still a way to answer this question?"

Diana looked at Adam in surprise and said, "You really want to try, don't you?"

"I guess that question is also like these ten facts, just a kind of playful teasing, there's nothing to it."

Seeing Diana say this, Adam just laughed it off. After all, he was very clear that the question was definitely not nonsense.

Seeing Adam fall into a daze after hearing this news, looking like he didn't want to talk, Diana took the initiative to say, "What are you going to do when you come here?"

"Me? Play online games, I haven't played with my online friend for two days, I don't know if she has contacted me."

Diana: Oh no, I forgot about that, I have to go back online to hide my identity!

She quickly stood up and said, "I have something to do, you play first."
