Chapter 556 The Chosen One - Killing Two Birds with One Stone

In the hospital, Gao Dongxu frowned slightly as he looked at the little boy lying on the hospital bed with an incomplete, brand-like lightning bolt pattern on his chest.

"The Chosen One—"

"what?!"

Seeing Gao Dongxu fall into deep thought upon seeing the blurry brand on his adopted son's chest, and then suddenly murmur a word that she couldn't understand, Laura asked him nervously.

Gao Dongxu looked at the little boy with a complicated expression. He really hadn't expected that this little boy would be the chosen shaman.

When I watched this movie before, because it was made by Europeans, the whole plot was shrouded in mystery, and many things were not explained clearly.

It was only mentioned that the little boy possessed mysterious healing powers, and that as long as the totem ritual was completed and the totem guardian spirit was used to kill the little boy, one could gain immortality.

Honestly, even Go Dong-wook, who had seen the original film, didn't expect that this little boy was actually a chosen shaman.

After meeting Laura at the museum, Gao Dongxu returned to his hotel and went online to look up information about Mongolian shamanism.

I don’t know, I’m scared.

Especially in this film and television world with supernatural powers, after reading the relevant information, Gao Dongxu can basically confirm that the shamans of the shamanistic religion are indeed quite capable.

If this little boy is indeed a chosen shaman, then he is a living treasure.

If you take good care of him, once he fully awakens, it will be equivalent to controlling an extraordinary power.

“Laura, I understand the goal of those hiding in the shadows.” Gao Dongxu said, his eyes gleaming as he looked intently at Laura.

Now he couldn't let Laura go any further; this was truly killing two birds with one stone: sleeping with a stunning beauty and keeping a chosen shaman.

Once properly cared for, it will become a powerful weapon in Gao Dongxu's hands.

"Is that my son?!" Laura exclaimed, her face paling.

“Yes, if I’m not mistaken, your adopted son is a chosen one of the shamans.” Gao Dongxu nodded and said.

“The Chosen One?!” Laura murmured in confusion, then looked at Gao Dongxu and asked, “Could you tell me more about it?”

“Sure, but I don’t know much about shamanistic culture.” Gao Dongxu walked to a chair and sat down, looking at Laura with her beautiful eyes fixed on him.

"Shamanism refers to an animistic belief system, which differs from the monotheistic belief of Western Christianity. Shamanism believes that all things have their own souls, and these souls can be good or bad, strong or weak. The spirits of all things can communicate with specific humans, who act as intermediaries between the spirits of all things and the human race. These people are called shamans."

The meaning of shamanism is complex and multifaceted, encompassing roles such as a sorcerer who communicates with ancestral spirits, a healer who cures illnesses, a leader who guides people in making decisions, and an exorcist who drives away evil spirits. These meanings often shift depending on the specific circumstances. However, regardless of the tribe, the shaman is always at the heart of shamanism.

"His status is equivalent to a cardinal in the Catholic Church. Do you understand what I mean?"

Gao Dongxu looked at Laura, who had a furrowed brow and seemed somewhat bewildered, and drew an analogy to the hierarchy of Catholicism.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Laura immediately understood the shaman's prestigious status.

“Shamans are like the tongues of gods, conveying the message of the spirit of all things to their people in a superhuman capacity.”

Shamans have different succession systems in different tribes. Generally, there are two types of shaman succession systems within a tribe: one is bloodline succession, which is self-explanatory.

Another method is the selection by the gods. In the shamanistic system, the gods play an important role in the selection of shamans. If there is no one in a shaman's bloodline to inherit the shaman's mantle, then these gods will personally select a shaman successor. There are two ways to do this.

One is mental torment, the other is physical abuse. If a shaman in a community does not have a suitable heir, then the children in the community will be tormented by the ancestral spirits. These children will cry in their sleep, and their expressions will become tense and sensitive. Eventually, a suitable child will be born, and this child will become a shaman candidate.

When a child reaches the age of seven, they can be chosen as the successor. During this period, the spirits of the ancestors will guide the child in dreams to communicate with the spirits of all things, and even descend to the underworld for trials. This is an important sign that the gods have chosen a shamanic successor.

Gao Dongxu told Laura everything he knew about shamanism.

Laura's beautiful face was grave. Her red lips parted slightly, and after a few hesitant words, she looked at her adopted son on the hospital bed and said with a bitter smile, "I never imagined that my child would be a Chosen One. If he is a Chosen One, then why are those hiding in the shadows targeting my son?!"

"I guess it might be to obtain the power of the Chosen Ones," Gao Dongxu guessed.

Laura's expression changed drastically. She looked at her adopted son, then at Gao Dongxu, and said softly, "Thank you, Alexander. If it weren't for you, I would still be confused and know nothing." Gao Dongxu looked at Laura's beautiful and aloof face, smiled, and said softly, "It's nothing. I'm happy to be able to help you."

"Thank you." Laura looked at Gao Dongxu with some emotion, her goodwill towards him increasing once again.

You should know that every woman has a wall in her heart. If you don't "make your move" at the right time, she will never let you in.

Smart men know that to win over a woman, all you need to do is seize a key moment and put in a little effort—and her heart will quietly open for you.

A crucial moment is when women encounter difficulties and setbacks, feeling lonely and helpless; they especially need a man's shoulder to lean on and comfort. At this moment, a man's appearance is like a ray of sunshine, warming their hearts.

This is the time for men to showcase their charm. If you appear by their side during these moments, offering care and support, you will more easily win their hearts. Because your presence at these times is like a ray of sunshine illuminating their dark world, allowing them to feel the warmth and hope of life.

To quote a classic saying: "The person who appears when you need them most is often the one you should cherish most."

Just like Laura in front of me, she seems invulnerable, independent and clear-headed, and capable of handling everything on her own.

But that's because she's used to having no one to help her; it doesn't mean she doesn't really want someone to rely on.

She moved alone, worked overtime all night alone, and handled all the messes alone. The stronger she appeared on the surface, the more she longed for someone to stand by her side and share the burden.

She said she was fine, but inside she was already devastated. She wasn't waiting for someone to solve her problem, but for someone who could say, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Now that she is fighting alone, Gao Dongxu stands by her side, and even just saying "I'm with you" is enough to bring tears to her eyes.

She's the kind of person who usually doesn't ask for help; she really can't bring herself to ask.

So, Gao Dongxu appeared at just the right time, and she could never forget him.

The two looked into each other's eyes, and Laura was the first to give in, shyly looking away at her adopted son on the hospital bed.

There was no way around it; Gao Dongxu's gaze was too intense, making no attempt to hide his admiration and possessiveness towards her. This caused Laura to feel her heart flutter again, along with a hint of longing.

Fires in old houses are the most deadly!
Once the momentum starts, flames will soar into the sky and become unstoppable.

A brief silence fell over the ward. Laura glanced at the time before saying apologetically to Gao Dongxu, "Sorry, Alexander, it's so late, I'm sorry to disturb your rest..."

"It's alright." Gao Dongxu smiled as he looked at Laura, who looked exhausted. Thinking that she hadn't had a chance to rest since the car accident, he couldn't help but say with concern, "Let me take you home to rest. I bet you haven't had a proper rest since the accident. That won't do."

“Thank you, but no need. I need to stay with my son. You said it yourself, their target is my child,” Laura shook her head and refused.

"Don't worry, he's safe until his injuries heal. I'll have my bodyguard stay to protect him. You go home and get some sleep, then come back to take care of him during the day. Otherwise, you'll wear yourself out," Gao Dongxu gently advised.

"This..." Laura hesitated after hearing Gao Dongxu's persuasion.

"Don't worry, he'll be fine with my bodyguard. You can go back and rest without worry. Come on, I'll take you home." Gao Dongxu made the decision for her decisively.

"This... okay." Laura also felt pain all over her body, as well as large areas of burning abrasions, making it difficult to continue. If it weren't for Gao Dongxu, she might have persevered and endured it all alone, but now, Gao Dongxu's help and decision gave her a sense of support to lift her burden.

Standing up, Laura looked at her still unconscious adopted son with some reluctance. Gao Dongxu stepped forward, put his arm around her shoulder, and gently patted her to comfort her, saying, "Don't worry, I'm here, everything will be alright."

Laura was embraced by Gao Dongxu, her delicate body trembled slightly, and she turned her head to look at Gao Dongxu's handsome face full of exotic charm, and said shyly and softly, "Thank you."

"Let's go, I'll take you home." Gao Dongxu smiled slightly, his hand holding Laura's voluptuous body trembling almost imperceptibly. Beautiful flesh, all beautiful flesh, so comfortable.

Laura gave a soft "hmm" and didn't break free from Gao Dongxu's embrace. The two walked towards the door, and after opening it, Laura looked back at her adopted son on the hospital bed once more.

The car pulled up in front of an apartment building. Laura got out, and Gao Dongxu followed, softly saying to Laura, "I'll take you up—"

"This—" Laura's pretty face flushed slightly as she looked at Gao Dongxu with a troubled expression, appearing extremely conflicted.

"Don't misunderstand, I didn't mean anything by it. I'm just worried about your safety. I'll leave as soon as I've confirmed that everything is alright at your home," Gao Dongxu hurriedly explained.

Laura breathed a sigh of relief, her pretty face flushed with an unnatural blush. She had thought Gao Dongxu was so eager to get inside her and live with her tonight.
