Chapter 158 Think Clearly
Qi Mo read it carefully. It said that everything that happened today must not be disclosed to outsiders, especially the media. If anyone violates this, the Security Department will hold them accountable.
The final right of interpretation of this agreement belongs to the Security Department.
Several people signed the agreement, and the middle-aged man said a few words, such as not even telling their parents, and then left.
Li Xiaoqiu closed the door and asked Mu Qingzhou and Lin Xi mysteriously, "By the way, what's going on with you two? How did you get those magical abilities?"
Mu Qingzhou looked at the ceiling and said lazily, "I don't know. Anyway, it just happened naturally."
Qi Mo looked at Lin Xi, he was also very curious.
Lin Xi actually knew where she got her supernatural powers from.
She was bullied by several older kids in the orphanage, and a strong desire arose in her heart: I wish I had powerful abilities so I could beat them.
The superpower appeared so suddenly.
She used the power of the wind to make several older children throw themselves against the wall.
But at that time, her supernatural powers were not very strong, and the children were not seriously injured.
This scene was captured by the orphanage's surveillance camera.
People from the Superpower Research Institute quickly came and took her away.
However, the way each person in the institute obtains superpowers is different.
Some are born with it, and some, like Mu Qingzhou, suddenly one day, find that they are different.
Now, after comparing ordinary people and people with special abilities, scientists in Country M have come to the conclusion that there is a genetic lock in the human body.
In fact, everyone has this kind of superpower that people now think of as superpowers, but it is locked by genes.
In recent years, there are more and more people with special abilities. Some people speculate that it may be due to changes in the planet's magnetic field, which has caused the loosening of the genetic lock.
As for why the magnetic field of a planet changes?
Nonsense, the sun and the planets are constantly moving in the Milky Way, and the Milky Way itself is moving.
It is normal for the magnetic field to change.
Perhaps, it won’t be long before everyone can unlock their genetic lock.
When a person with special abilities dies, they will leave behind energy crystals. After the person with special abilities absorbs them, they will possess the abilities of the deceased.
However, Lin Xi did not say this.
When she entered the research institute, although she was young, she also signed a confidentiality agreement.
She just nodded, "That's not necessarily the case. Perhaps when you have a strong desire, the supernatural power will appear on its own."
"However, the maximum age known for awakening superpowers is 29. There's a consensus now that those who can't awaken their superpowers before the age of 30 will never have another chance in this lifetime."
Qi Mo's eyes were extremely dim. He was already twenty-six years old and time was running out.
Li Xiaoqiu's eyes lit up surprisingly. Lin Xi looked at her and chuckled, "You're not holding back right now, are you? Forget it, forget it, I'm just teasing you. Come on, let's go to the cafeteria to get some food."
Li Xiaoqiu was pulled out by Lin Xi.
She held Lin Xi's arm and suddenly sighed, "Before I met you and after I met you, I seemed to be living in two different worlds."
"I never knew there were so many magical things in the world."
"Thinking about it now, I realize how lucky I am and how pitiful those people who were kept in the dark are."
Lin Xi shook her head. "What's so pitiful about that?"
"Originally, everyone sees the world differently because everyone focuses on different things and looks at things from different angles."
"Some people, if you take a photo of a UFO and give it to them, they'll insist you photoshopped it."
"Even if the U.S. Aviation Administration released the top-secret files, wouldn't few people believe it?"
"Besides, it's not a good thing for ordinary people to know this. The world is so wonderful, but I am so ordinary. Wouldn't that make me even more unwilling?"
Li Xiaoqiu nodded vigorously, "Yes, I am not willing to give up now. I also want to have extraordinary abilities and live a magnificent life."
Lin Xi raised an eyebrow and looked at her, "Aren't you afraid?"
"With greater capabilities comes greater risks, as you witnessed today."
Li Xiaoqiu chuckled, "What's there to be afraid of? What's the point of living a boring life even if you're in your seventies or eighties?"
“If possible, who wouldn’t want to be a brilliant person?”
Lin Xi smiled and pursed her lips. "Let's not talk about this anymore. I just want to ask you, why did you suddenly fall in love with Mu Qingzhou?"
Li Xiaoqiu felt embarrassed. "It's not like they're attracted to each other. He, he doesn't know what it means yet."
Lin Xi knew very well that part of Li Xiaoqiu's favor must have come from the suspension bridge effect.
However, she would not say these things to spoil the mood.
There is always an opportunity at the beginning of a relationship, no matter what it is.
In the Security Department's sanatorium, all meals in the cafeteria are free.
Lin Xi and Li Xiaoqiu each got two meals and carried them back to the ward.
Qi Mo sat down to eat by himself. He only injured his right shoulder, so it was convenient for him to eat with a spoon in his left hand.
Mu Qingzhou had broken ribs and could not sit for the time being, so he could only lie down. Li Xiaoqiu fed him one spoonful at a time.
Mu Qingzhou was very annoyed. It was inconvenient to eat while lying down. It was said that it takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. How long would he have to lie down?
With a mouthful of rice in his mouth, he asked Lin Xi vaguely, "If I join the institute now, will this injury be healed immediately?"
Lin Xi glanced at him and said, "If it's just for this little injury, I advise you to forget it and just bear with it."
"Joining the institute means you will work for the country your whole life."
"If you're not prepared to carry out the most difficult and impossible missions, or even sacrifice your life for them, it's better for you to be an ordinary person."
"Anyway, if you don't use your powers on ordinary people, the institute won't care about you."
Mu Qingzhou chewed in his mouth, thinking about Lin Xi's words in his mind.
He now truly believed what Director Wang said, that Lin Xi was Sister Xi.
How else to explain her calmness, boldness, and skillful use of her supernatural powers?
She is only eighteen years old!
All the responses displayed in the battle were so sophisticated, as if they were instinctive.
Also, when she spoke to Zhou Ying, it was as if they had known each other for a long time, their tone was familiar and their attitude was natural.
Mu Qingzhou admires women like Sister Xi very much. She protects her teammates and faces strong enemies herself. When she cannot win, she chooses to die together with her opponent, causing the M country to suffer heavy losses and suffer a loss.
However, he was not sure if he could do it like Sister Xi.
In fact, he has always been a sophisticated egoist.
He is indifferent to the people and things around him, and only considers whether many things are beneficial to him.
Helping Lin Xi this time was a rare act of enthusiasm on his part. Ultimately, he was moved by Director Wang's story.
And of course curiosity.
He felt that what Lin Xi said made sense and he needed to take some time to think about this issue clearly.
