Chapter 69
Gu Qingming used the wind to lift the stone, stretched the en factor and turned it into a wind rope. Chu Zhongyuan used the wind as a medium, and the power of space was ready to support at any time.
Throwing out the en factor as a variety of attack methods is much simpler than drawing it out bit by bit into a long wind rope line. The latter is like pouring gravel into a very fine mold bit by bit without letting it overflow.
Even someone as careful and serious as Gu Qingming could not avoid making mistakes, but fortunately Chu Zhongyuan was there to observe and help at all times.
When the wind rope almost extended to the end and Gu Qingming felt that his ability to control the wind at one time had reached its limit, the waters of Qianlong Lake were right in front of him.
"Three, two, one."
Chu Zhongyuan's voice sounded on the side, like the brightest light in a rainy night.
"Throw it! Xiao Ming!"
Gu Qingming did not hesitate and gave the water bead a final push. The translucent water bead drew a vague arc in the air, rippling water waves appeared, and it dived into the water and disappeared.
"Done?!"
The tense spirits suddenly relaxed, and excitement and joy of success appeared on the faces of the teenagers.
"brush---"
The wind carrying countless water vapor blew in my face, as if announcing that something was changing.
The balance of the waterspout was broken by the effect of the water-stabilizing beads, and it fell precariously into the lake.
The curling stratus clouds were moving darkly, and the heavy rain was still falling, but there was no trend of further intensification.
Gu Qingming let out a long sigh. He felt the moment when his limit was broken. The more times he used his supernatural powers and the more focused his attention was, the more evolution would occur in various senses, just like the ideas for answering math problems that would naturally form after doing more math problems.
In the heavy rain, there seemed to be a sirens sound coming from the distance, different from the car horns.
Several figures in familiar uniforms emerged from the darkness with flashing flashlights. The leader climbed up from the motorboat and waved to several high school students in the corner.
"The joint rescue team has already set out. The disaster situation this time is better than we thought. There are only injured people at present. Let me guess. Are you guys risking your life to do something again?"
Cao Sheng arrived much faster than expected. The villa area was located on higher ground and soon became the temporary resettlement site for the rescue team. Scattered people were transferred there one after another, and the CPA and Lantai City officials had already set up temporary tents.
"It's not dangerous at all. It's just a small matter for Xiao Ming and me."
Chu Zhongyuan put his hands on his hips proudly.
"...I didn't expect that your vacation at Qianlong Lake could cause such a disaster. I still underestimate the influence of your bad luck."
Cao Sheng ignored Chu Zhongyuan's boasting and sighed.
Wherever their team goes, there will be high-risk mysterious incidents, or at worst, there will be wandering organizations of supernatural beings like Ceobe, and there has never been an exception.
Although he believed that the four youngest C-level psychics would not be washed away by the water, Cao Sheng still chased after them, fearing that the bad luck of these four guys would escalate the flood.
However, these four high school students often give people surprises, and this time is no exception. Not only did the waterspout not escalate, it even dissipated.
"He Bo's water-fixing beads, right?"
Cao Sheng sighed as he looked at the lake in the distance which was almost calm.
"Bingo!"
Chu Zhongyuan snapped his fingers, and Luo Dong organized his words. He was the type who would ask questions whenever he had one, so he quickly explained to Cao Sheng the strangeness of the rich second generation.
Why did that guy say something that completely predicted the future before being taken away by the ambulance?
If this is the case, then what happened in the villa area three days ago is also related to the mystery?
"You mean the guy who was taken away by the CPA? It was a blessing in disguise that he awakened his prophetic powers during a weird ceremony."
Cao Sheng thought for a moment, "At that time, that guy ignored the advice of the local residents and insisted on performing a ritual to summon a latent dragon. As a result, the ritual failed miserably. He did not summon anything, but only summoned a snake, which scared him so much that he awakened his supernatural powers."
...was frightened into awakening his supernatural powers?
Gu Qingming couldn't help but laugh. The awakening of superpowers required very strict conditions. It could only be awakened at the moment of life and death or under severe emotional shock. But that rich second generation was actually awakened by a snake...
Gu Qingming shook his head. No matter what, with the overall concentration of mystery rising today, the fact that Lantai City’s CPA was able to successfully welcome newcomers to the prophecy department was a good thing worth celebrating.
"Prophecy?! Why?!"
Zheng Qiuji's expression looked quite distorted. The prophecy type was known as the rarest supernatural type due to its special characteristics. Why did that guy awaken to the prophecy type? And the awakening method was so outrageous!
Zheng Qiuji said that jealousy has changed him beyond recognition.
"But, Mr. Cao, I want to ask, was it the snake that scared that guy into becoming a superpower?"
Gu Qingming pointed at the lush grass and pulled at the corner of Cao Sheng's sleeve.
Cao Sheng quickly shifted his gaze and saw a slender snake figure leaning forward in the shadow of the grass that was not illuminated by even the high-power outdoor lights. It was quietly looking at them. The hissing sound it made melted into the noisy voices and rain and could not be heard clearly.
It was the mysterious creature summoned by the rich second generation through a special ceremony in the villa.
"This snake was just in my house—"
Luo Dong saw the snake. Its familiar pattern and size were exactly the same as the monster hovering over the electric meter.
"…Something is happening. It seems like it wants us to follow it."
Noticing everyone's gaze, the snake quickly swam around the grass twice, and then pointed its tail at the water below the villa area.
"Go and have a look."
Cao Sheng stood up and led the four high school students slowly down the steep slope.
The ground, which was originally covered with wild grass, has been completely submerged by the flood. Next to the slope, a young man who is almost losing consciousness is grabbing a few plant roots sticking out of the steep slope, struggling to stay on the slope, shouting for help.
"Help me... please help me, god..."
The figure muttered.
"…Why did this guy come out again?"
Cao Sheng's face darkened. It turned out that the snake was looking for someone to stop its summoner from committing suicide.
Gu Qingming quickly used the wind to run over and grabbed the man's hand.
Chu Zhongyuan's ability requires him to teleport to a place within his sight. If he is swept into the raging flood, it is hard to say whether he will save others or others will save him in the end. Gu Qingming thought about it and finally chose to run over by himself.
Cao Sheng originally wanted to take action, but he hadn't seen these little guys use their superpowers for some time recently, so he decided to test them. He watched Gu Qingming's light figure, and he used his superpowers and physical skills just right to pull the young man out of the water.
The turquoise wind accompanied the young man's face, which was vague but still beautiful and reliable, and appeared beside Jiamu. In the night, his turquoise eyes were like an animal walking in the night, with a faint turquoise light. When Jiamu held the young man's hand and got out of the mud, he almost cried.
God had no idea how cold the water in Qianlong Lake was, and how uncomfortable it felt to be on the verge of suffocation. Several times he thought he couldn't hold on any longer, but in the end he managed to resurface from suffocation.
"Brother, you are my only brother from now on. Thank you for saving my life, thank you for saving my life!"
Gamu stayed in the water for quite a while. If he were an ordinary person, he would have been washed away long ago, but he relied on his physical fitness as a psychic and his tenacious will to survive to hold on, waiting for the seemingly human-like snake to help him find reinforcements.
"Thank you, Lord Cretaceous."
The colorful snake kept circling under Gu Qingming's feet, as if thanking the other party for saving its unreliable summoner. Amid the hissing sound, Gu Qingming seemed to hear vague human language.
Is this an illusion… ?
As soon as the slight suspicion appeared, it was diverted by Gamu's frantic thanks.
"Uh...it's okay, don't worry too much, but I might...well, I'm just a high school student, not as old as you."
Gu Qingming has never been good at responding to other people's thanks, so he quickly diverted the other person's attention.
"Ah, it's okay, high school students are also brothers, thank you high school brother for saving my life."
Unexpectedly, Jiamu was stunned for a moment, then changed his words and continued to thank him in a tone that sounded like he was about to cry.
Gu Qingming held his forehead, not knowing what to say.
Fortunately, Gamu quickly shifted his attention away from his savior.
"Why are you still haunting me like this?! I ran out in the heavy rain! Can't you just let me go?"
When Jiamu turned his head, he saw Cao Sheng standing behind his benefactor, giving him a fake smile. He almost slipped and pulled his benefactor to kneel on the ground together.
Chu Zhongyuan waited for a long time, and when he saw this, he quickly pulled Gu Qingming over. He had long been annoyed by the other party's hand on Gu Qingming's shoulder.
Zheng Qiuji: Oh, someone is getting anxious! (Laughter)
"Then we can't let you go. People with special abilities must join the CPA or have their special abilities washed away. You have one choice."
Cao Sheng's voice was very low, carrying with it a terrifying sense of oppression that the four members of the Superpower Society had never seen before.
"Help!!!"
Seeing this, Jiamu hugged his benefactor's thigh.
"High school student brother! Save me! I don't want to go to CPA!"
Gu Qingming: "…Why did he run away as soon as he arrived at CPA?"
Cao Sheng spread his hands and pointed at his brain: "The two-dimensional works have been too deeply rooted in his brain. He thinks that if we keep him here, we must dissect him."
Gu Qingming: ...
Chu Zhongyuan: ...I always feel that being jealous of this guy just now was a very stupid thing to do.
Cao Sheng forced Jiamu and the flower snake onto the speedboat that traveled between the headquarters and the rescue point. Gu Qingming didn't speak quickly, nor did he persuade people gently, but his voice made people involuntarily convinced. Jiamu struggled for a few times, but still chose to get on the boat. Before leaving, he shouted: "Benefactor! High school student brother! Wait for me! I will definitely come to repay you!"
Hearing this, Chu Zhongyuan's face turned as dark as the night.
The time for resting with other team members was over, and Cao Sheng was ready to say goodbye and continue the rescue work, but the four-member team obviously did not want to give up and offered to help.
"Although you haven't learned about rescue in your CPA class yet...but about psychics."
Cao Sheng finally did not refuse them to participate in the rescue work. He jumped into the water and prepared to continue patrolling by boat. Everyone was assigned to different jobs by the person in charge sent by CPA, and they hurriedly rushed to grab a few chances of survival in the heavy rain.
Gu Qingming and Chu Zhongyuan followed the patrol team onto the rescue boat. Their special powers were very effective in the rescue.
Zheng Qiuji had sufficient outdoor experience, so he stayed at the rescue point to help set up the tent, while Luo Dong was thrown to the emergency medical department by the person in charge because of his healing abilities.
"I think I should switch from history to chemistry."
When Gu Qingming and the other two were taking a break from their shift and returned to the rescue point, Luo Dong said something out of the blue.
In the early morning, fresh mist covered the faces of several young men. They were taking a rest while biting the delivered breakfast biscuits when Luo Dong suddenly spoke.
