Fang Gelo casually walked to the four boxes, sensing each one with his hand one by one.
"Trembling, joy, chirping, this is a life about to be born," he recited with closed eyes. Under his palm, a tiny egg lay quietly on soft cloth, inside which a small life was brewing, ready to face the sun and chirp.
Dr. Lin, the owner of the egg, held his chest and said, "I don't know why, Fang Gelo's words are simple and concise, but I feel very expectant and moved. From his words, it seems like it's going to be a rooster."
Song Rui wrote in his notebook: "[He can amplify anyone's emotions and use language to disperse emotions. He is a renderer of emotions.]"
Fang Gelo walked to the second box, and Song Rui's gaze couldn't help but follow, and he felt a lot of anticipation in his heart. Previously, he didn't even know he still had positive emotions like this.
However, Fang Gelo went straight past that box and walked to the one beside it while sensing and chuckling, "This is a thriving, green life. Many years later, in the golden autumn, we will harvest its fruits."
Dr. Ouyang, the owner of the kumquat tree seedling, quietly gave a thumbs up, admiring Fang Gelo's spiritual abilities.
Fang Gelo walked to the last box, and his relaxed smile turned solemn. After sensing for a long time, he sighed softly, "This is a struggling creature, it will go through a long journey and a short life, and eventually wither in the wind, but this withering is its inevitable fate. It is very small, yet it has a magnificent life."
Dr. Qian, the owner of the butterfly chrysalis, quickly covered his mouth, almost whispering, "Yes, this is the chrysalis of a monarch butterfly. Its life experiences can truly be described as magnificent. The monarch butterfly, scientifically known as the Danaus plexippus, is found in North America, with its body covered in orange and black patterns, very beautiful. When winter comes, they will fly from northern parts of Canada and the United States, gathering in the warm fir forests of Mexico, then returning to Canada. Not a single monarch butterfly can participate in the entire long migration. They always silently wither in the wind at some point, leaving their offspring to continue the journey. No scientist can explain this large-scale collective behavior, it seems to be their destiny. This is why I love monarch butterflies, there are too many small yet great lives on our earth, they can dedicate their lives to pursue a goal!"
Dr. Qian calmed down before saying, "I believe Fang Gelo and I have the same feelings. He is not just sensing external objects, he is also feeling the essence of life. Although those mediums from before also surprised me, they would not understand the meaning behind Fang Gelo's words, they wouldn't understand that the chrysalis I brought is not just a chrysalis."
Dr. Qian hesitated for a long time before waving his hand, "Enough, I can't describe my feelings. Every life on Earth is precious, and one day you will understand."
Song Wen held her hand, giving her some warmth.
Song Rui picked up a pen, but suddenly didn't know what to write. He found that he couldn't use simple words to describe the gradually clear and lifelike person before him. Life is complex, inexpressible, and precious—surprisingly, he had this realization. This was truly unimaginable for someone without a heart.
Fang Gelo finally approached the box that he had deliberately skipped over.
Song Rui couldn't help but hold his breath.
Fang Gelo held his palm suspended over the box, tilting his head, eyes almost closed, sensing for a very long time.
Song Rui's heart began to beat violently, a phenomenon that had never happened before. He had never experienced feelings of nervousness, anxiety, and anticipation before, but now he felt them all at once.
Fang Gelo's calm eyes suddenly stirred, he smiled gently and his soft voice flowed, "This is a life awaiting hope and redemption—resilient yet tranquil, it is a miracle."
Song Rui released his breath, his heartbeat stopping, a low yet joyful laugh escaping his lips. His reaction confused everyone.
Song Wen grabbed his sleeve, shocked, "Cousin, did you bring a piece of rock?"
"It's a stone," Song Rui said seriously, "find someone to split the stone, be careful, there may be life inside."
"How is that possible! Is it true?" Song Wen sounded skeptical as she hurried to bring an assistant to dissect the stone.
Seeing several staff rushing into the testing room, Fang Gelo wasn't surprised. Instead, he solemnly reminded, "Be careful, don't damage the egg, tree seedling, and butterfly chrysalis."
After hearing this, Dr. Qian couldn't help but cover his face and groan, "Oh my, what kind of immortal medium is this? Fang Gelo must have been molded by Nuwa from the softest and cleanest clay. I love him so much, really!"
The staff's urgent actions became cautious and slow under Fang Gelo's reminder. They carefully moved the second box and sent it to the storage room for dissection. The props team quickly contacted a professional stone-splitting master and rented a full set of tools.
At the same time, the other contestants also entered the testing room one by one to analyze Ya Ya and Jeffrey's spirits. The first to be eliminated was the contestant caught cheating, who was completely off the mark. The other contestants also faced a crisis in these unimaginable test questions. The most skilled ones were stable, able to perceive something, although not complete analysis. On the other hand, Ah Huo's performance was astonishing, as he actually guessed Jeffrey's gender wrong, calling him a beauty.
Jeffrey could only wave his hand and roll his eyes in response.
After the test, Song Rui provided the following evaluation for the outstanding contestants, "Yuan Zhongzhou's strength remains in first place. Not only can he sense the inner thoughts of the two testers, but also foresee their appearance. This round, I will rank He Jinglian second, as she captured the emotions of Ya Ya and Jeffrey, knowing how they feel in the current stage."
Jeffrey added, "She said that Ya Ya and I are living a happy and joyful life, and that we will encounter beautiful things, but that wasn't the case before her test."
Song Rui nodded, "Yes, so her ability is temporary, she doesn't have a strong grasp of the past and future, she can only sense emotions but not much else. Zhu Xiya is ranked third, she can indeed receive some emotional feedback from the inner level, but not many, nor clear. About 80% of her words can apply to anyone. Ding Puhang intentionally restrained himself this round, I won't comment on his performance. Ah Huo's nose will be both his aid and his obstacle; Chong Ming's performance today was completely off, his ability seems to have disappeared suddenly, he is now just an ordinary person."
Song Wen tapped on the table, seemingly dissatisfied, "You forgot about Teacher Fang again."
Song Rui said, "If you are already calling him Teacher Fang, how can I rank him?" Once again, he pulled out Fang Gelo's photo and set it aside.
Jeffrey agreed with him, frowning and thinking for a long time before hesitantly speaking, "You all know that I have a low level of education and don't speak well. I can't accurately describe my feelings. But I understand Dr. Song's sentiment. Fang Gelo is Fang Gelo, not anyone else. You can't lump him together with others; you have to pick him out and put him aside. What he says sounds mysterious, but you can understand what he means, and you can be moved to tears for him. After listening to his analysis, you won't feel the same about listening to Su Fengxi's songs again. Really, these people can't be compared to Teacher Fang."
Yaya timely added: "My feelings are the same as Jeffrey's. Fan Garo is like a chef, using skilled techniques to peel off the shell of your self-protection, then separating your softest egg yolk and egg white, mixing and combining them into a completely new you. What you want to hide, he brings out; what has gone bad, he removes; what you cherish, he kneads and places in a cleaner place, molding it into a better taste. After he sees through you, you will become a completely new life! All things have spirits, everything is beautiful, seeing him, you can understand the meaning of this sentence!"
Dr. Qian nodded repeatedly, agreeing with what was said. Everyone present seemed to have become fans of Fan Garo, excitedly discussing his every move and action.
Just then, the director ran in holding a transparent glass box with red cheeks, looking like he had been drinking: "The stone was split open, and inside there was a frog, alive! I heard from the stone expert that this stone has a history of at least over a hundred years, so the frog is also over a hundred years old. The air it breathed at that time is different from what we have now, so I sealed it with pure oxygen. Teacher Fan sensed it, he really sensed it!"
All the people in the observation room looked at the box he held in his palm, showing astonishment and deep emotion in their eyes. A frog sealed inside a stone for over a hundred years, truly a miracle of life!
