◎What kind of supernatural powers are there?◎
Reason reminded her that there was nothing special about it, wasn't it just that there was no smell?
Maybe... maybe it's just a physical reason?
Lingxi suddenly remembered, doesn’t rhinitis make people’s sense of smell worse?
He rubbed his nose, as if finding self-comfort, and the stone in his heart slowly fell.
"What a nice smell! Freshly-baked braised duck!" Qiqi was practically drooling as she stood by, her eyes fixed on the dish. "Just the smell makes my mouth water."
"Haha, our braised duck has received very good reviews." The boss proudly took one down according to my father's request, chopped off half of it, and carefully cut it into small pieces.
While the boss was chopping the meat, Qiqi grabbed a piece and put it in her mouth: "Delicious!!"
Almost everyone who passes by will whisper that it smells good.
After all, it was freshly-baked braised duck, and the aroma could be smelled from the end of the street.
The father paid the money, took the bag and put it on his lap, and Lingxi pushed him and continued walking towards home.
Every time she walked for a while, she couldn't help but look back to look for Rong Xiao.
I don't know why.
I should be scared when I think of that strange girl and the inexplicable disappearance of my sense of smell.
But Lingxi just wanted to talk to her again, even though everything sounded unbelievable.
In order not to shatter Lingxi's beautiful illusion too quickly, Rong Xiao followed quietly in the corner without letting Lingxi discover his traces.
As they were almost at the door, Qiqi suddenly covered her nose and huddled together with everyone else: "Why does it stink so bad? What's going on???"
The residential complex where Lingxi lives is very old and has no elevator. The exterior walls are obviously very old and covered with ivy, which densely crowds the entire building.
"The sewer next door is blocked and is being cleared. The smell is terrible. Remember not to open the window when you go back." The security guard at the gate frowned uncomfortably, with two pieces of crumpled toilet paper stuck in his nostrils.
"Go back quickly." My father also covered his nose.
Kiki even pulled her school uniform jacket up as high as possible until it covered her nose.
Everyone who passed by had a look of pain on their face, only Lingxi looked a little confused and bewildered.
Is it smelly?
She couldn't smell anything at all, as if she and they were in a different world.
If she couldn't smell the faint fragrance of flowers and food, she could probably explain it off as physical reasons, but she couldn't sense such a strong pungent odor at all. This was... a bit too weird.
Before entering the residential complex, Ling Xi looked back again, but still didn't see Rong Xiao.
Her heart felt empty. Even though it was the first time she met this girl, she felt a strange sense of familiarity.
Just like... just like the feeling Qiqi gave her.
Lingxi took the braised duck into the kitchen, took out the dishes she was going to prepare for the evening from the refrigerator, and casually opened the kitchen window...
"Sister, don't open the window, the smell outside is coming in!!!" Qiqi screamed and hurried over to help close the window.
Her palm trembled slightly, and Ling Xi became even more suspicious. She muttered quietly, "Is it really that smelly?"
Qiqi pinched her nose, wearing a mask of pain: "Wow, it stinks so bad that I almost faint, sis, can't you smell it?"
As she spoke, Kiki hurried to check the windows of other rooms.
Looking at the closed window, Ling Xi stared at the things on the chopping board, feeling as if some strange things popped up in her head, even some uncontrollable weird feeling came to her heart.
This world... is it really just her illusion?
Staring blankly out the window, Ling Xi suddenly noticed a figure staggering out from the open space downstairs. It was Rong Xiao!
Her eyes widened, she took off her apron and threw it away, then hurried out: "I'm going downstairs to buy a bottle of soy sauce!"
"Shall I go?" Qiqi put down her homework and ran out, but before she could even leave, Lingxi pushed her back.
"Hurry up and do your homework. I'll be back soon."
Ling Xi closed the door as if nothing had happened, and could no longer control her boiling blood, so she ran downstairs.
Fortunately, when she got downstairs, Rong Xiao was still standing there, but he seemed not to have expected her to come down.
"Sister Xi." Rong Xiao greeted softly.
Lingxi took a deep breath: "What's your name?"
"Rong Xiao."
"Shall we sit down and talk?"
"OK."
Rong Xiao walked over to a chair in the green belt nearby and sat down. Ling Xi also sat beside her. After a moment of silence, she smiled and asked, "The sewer outside smells very strong. Doesn't it bother you?"
"I can't smell it." Rong Xiao shook his head.
As soon as he finished speaking, before Lingxi could respond, three or two people walked by, covering their noses and cursing, saying it was smelly.
They were both silent for a long time before Ling Xi spoke again: "Can you tell me why you think this world is an illusion?"
"If I tell you, all the beautiful illusions you have now will disappear, and the consequences will develop in a direction you can't imagine...will you want to know?"
Rong Xiao did not answer her question, but instead gave her an even more difficult hypothesis.
Having never thought about the falsity of the world, Ling Xi felt a little resistant for a moment.
A false and beautiful illusion, a real and cruel world.
She calmed down and imagined the worst possible outcome, but just imagining such a situation was enough to make Ling Xi breathless.
After an unknown amount of time, she clenched her hands on her knees, as if she had finally made up her mind: "I want to know. What's fake is fake. It can never become real. As long as it's fake, it's not what I really want."
Rong Xiao nodded and recounted everything that happened in reality. Even without mentioning her father and sister, Ling Xi had already guessed something.
"Sister Xi, everyone is waiting for you." Ling Xi's hand, which was a little cold, gently grasped Ling Xi's hand. "We are waiting for you."
Her eyes, red from the pain, became moist. Ling Xi raised her head and stared at Rong Xiao in a daze. Just as she was about to say something, a scream suddenly came from the street outside.
Here we come!
As long as you talk about the end of the world, it's like turning on a switch that changes the illusion, and the world will immediately fall into illusion.
"What's wrong?" Ling Xi stood up suddenly and looked towards the door.
Rong Xiao took her hand and pointed upstairs: "Let's go home first? They should be...coming."
"What's coming?"
"As long as I tell you what's happening in reality, this beautiful illusion will be shattered."
Ling Xi's heart was pounding wildly and she felt her whole body was shaking. An indescribable pain was rushing through her heart like crazy.
If this world is fake...
Even if this world is fake...
Please let her go home, she must go home.
She promised Kiki that she would be back soon.
"ah!!!"
While still running up the stairs, Lingxi heard Qiqi's scream and quickly quickened her pace.
The door was open, and Aunt Wang, who lived next door, became like a monster and kept pouncing on Qiqi.
The father in the wheelchair tried to stand up and push the person away, but accidentally fell to the ground.
Ling Xi's eyes turned red with anxiety. She pounced on Aunt Wang, grabbed her clothes and tried to drag her back with all her might, but Aunt Wang's strong body was like a cow, and no matter how hard she pulled, she couldn't pull her away.
Aunt Wang's eyes were covered with a layer of white. She kept opening her mouth and biting the air, as if she regarded Linlin as food. Her bloodshot eyes were filled with madness.
"Sister Xi, I'll do it!" A calm voice suddenly sounded behind her. Almost instantly, Rong Xiao stepped on the handrail next to him and jumped into the air from behind Ling Xi. He hooked the zombie's neck with his elbow and threw her directly down from the stairs.
Aunt Wang rolled down several floors with a gurgling sound before she stopped.
When he looked up again, Ling Xi had already driven Rong Xiao and Qiqi back into the house and locked the door.
"What's going on? What about Aunt Wang... Should we call the police?" Ling Xi and Rong Xiao helped his father back to his wheelchair. He was still in shock as he rocked his wheelchair and tried to make a phone call.
Lingxi did not stop him. A few minutes later, his father put down the receiver with a grim expression and shook his head.
The phone was no longer connected, and heart-wrenching screams continued to be heard from the yard outside.
Lingxi felt almost exhausted and sat on the sofa for a long time without saying a word.
"Sister Xi..." Rong Xiao said softly.
As if his soul had been called back, Ling Xi raised his head blankly, unable to speak, just looking at her.
"Sorry, give me a little more time. I still want to... do something," Lingxi said in a way that her father and Qiqi couldn't understand. "There's still time, right?"
Rong Xiao hesitated for a moment and nodded: "There should be a little more."
It took only half an hour after she entered the hallucination for several days. She had been in this world for less than half a day, so in reality, only a few minutes had passed.
"Qiqi, get up," Lingxi patted his face to cheer himself up, and dragged Qiqi into the bedroom, "Take off your coat, I'll check if you are injured."
Qiqi was also in shock, tears still glistening on her face. Her trembling hands obediently loosened her coat, "Sister, what's going on? Why did Aunt Wang suddenly become like that?"
"Don't you think she's a little familiar?" Ling Xi raised her eyelids and looked at her. "Don't think I don't know. You're secretly reading novels under the covers every night, holding your phone. Things like 'The End of the World: Guarding for Love'. Don't you think Aunt Wang looks a little familiar?"
Kiki was completely confused: "Huh?"
Ling Xi pulled the person to the window next to her and pointed at the zombies chasing the living people below: "Look, living zombies, you are the heroine of the apocalyptic novel."
"Sister, stop joking, zombies are so scary!!!"
"Who's kidding?" Ling Xi said as she carefully examined Qiqi while pulling her aside. "Come on, heroines in novels don't just cry and whine their way to the end. Put what you learned from novels into practice, okay?"
For some reason, Kiki wanted to laugh when she heard it, but she was also really scared.
It was hard to tell whether she was laughing or crying, her expression was twisted into a ball: "Sister..."
"Okay, just make sure you're not hurt. Come with me and check the supplies at home."
“…”
Qiqi really couldn't believe how her sister could get into the state immediately at the beginning of the apocalypse, and was calm and composed, without any panic. This... was really like the heroine in the novels she had read.
When the father saw Lingxi and Qiqi coming out of the room, he asked worriedly, "What happened?"
"Qiqi, use what you saw in the novel to explain to Dad. I'm going to take inventory of the supplies." Lingxi gently pushed Qiqi, then suddenly thought of something and turned back to hold Rongxiao. "Xiaoxiao, help me watch over them. Keep an eye on them."
Rong Xiao was suddenly given a mission and nodded vigorously in a serious manner.
With her assurance, Lingxi felt as if the anxiety in her heart was comforted, her mind was less confused, and her thoughts became clearer than before.
The first thing he did was to close and lock the windows in each room, and then take out the scattered tools.
Ling Xi kept going back and forth between the living room and the room, dismantling most of the wooden cabinets in the house and using them all to nail the windows.
Their house is not high, just on the third floor, so it is not impossible for someone or a zombie to climb in.
However, Ling Xi still left a window open for emergency use in special circumstances.
She deliberately chose a window that was not easy to climb. There was no foothold or water pipe outside. At the foot of the bed and the corner of the table, Ling Xi tied a long knot with the bed sheet and placed it on the ground.
She was busy preparing when she suddenly thought of something, paused, and tears flowed uncontrollably.
It's fake, right?
It's all an illusion, it's all an illusion.
Ling Xi no longer had any doubts, and could even feel a force pulling at her, but she kept fighting against that strange force, and it felt like something was pressing on her chest, making her feel more and more depressed.
But even if it was just an illusion, she... wanted to change it once, just this once.
After sealing the windows, Lingxi went to the kitchen again, took out all the edible things in the house, and filled the pots, pans, and even the bathtub with water.
Father and Kiki watched Lingxi busying around and wanted to call her several times, but they didn't have the chance to speak.
After finally preparing everything she needed to do, Lingxi went to the bedroom, grabbed Qiqi's notebook, turned to a new page and began to record the supplies.
Rong Xiao also joined in the fun out of curiosity.
What Sister Xi did...seemed like what she does every day in the team!
"The supplies at home can last for a while," Lingxi quickly calculated with a pen, even listing the daily food intake. "Qiqi, you and Dad can stay at home for at least a month."
Qiqi was stunned, as if she heard something strange in her words: "Sister, what do you mean? What are you going to do?"
"I won't stay here." Ling Xi hesitated for a moment, and his tone became firm.
"Why?" Her father was also anxious and reached out to pull her back. "It's so dangerous outside... Where are you going?"
"A very important friend is waiting for me," Lingxi squatted beside the wheelchair, tightly holding her father's and Qiqi's hands. "After I leave, no matter who knocks, don't open the door. Don't trust anyone. Qiqi, you should know that the end of the world will make people very scary. Don't trust anyone easily."
Qiqi's eyes were full of tears, and she desperately wiped them with her sleeves: "Sister, please don't go, okay? You...why do you want to go? Dad and I are at home. We are safe together at home. Please don't go."
"Silly boy, your sister... hehe," Ling Xi suddenly laughed, hiding the tears in her eyes, "but you are the one who wants to awaken the spatial ability. You know the spatial ability, right?"
Qiqi: “…”
Father:"……"
"My companions are all very powerful. I, your sister, am very safe with them." Ling Xi's voice trembled and she could no longer speak. She opened her arms and hugged them tightly. "So, don't worry about me. Just live well here. Live well."
Afraid that if she stayed any longer, her determination to leave would waver again, Ling Xi loosened her hand and, not even daring to look back, pulled Rong Xiao along and was ready to leave.
"Sister!" Qiqi cried bitterly and grabbed the corner of Lingxi's clothes tightly.
Ling Xi wanted to reach out and release the fingertips that were relying on her several times, but she could not bear to do it.
When she comes out of the hallucination, Kiki's voice, her father's voice, and everything that seems real in front of her will disappear forever.
But... fake is fake.
Her family is gone.
"Qiqi, let go," her father suddenly stretched out his skinny hand and grabbed Qiqi's hand back. "Your sister's decision must have been made after careful consideration. No one can change it. She must have her own reasons and plans."
"But……"
Qiqi struggled and tried to hold Lingxi, but her father pulled her to his side and stopped her from going any further.
Lingxi was in tears and bit her lips tightly.
She thought she would walk calmly because she knew it was an illusion, but when she reached the door, she couldn't help but stop and look back.
Her father was sitting in a wheelchair, looking exactly as she remembered him.
The difference was that he was not attacked by the mutated Kiki, and there was no blood on his body. Although Kiki was crying, she did not turn into a zombie and bite her father's body like crazy.
Lingxi originally thought that she would forget everything after a long time, but it turned out that she remembered everything so clearly.
In order to protect her, the father sitting in a wheelchair hugged the mutated Qiqi tightly. Even though his body was constantly stained with blood, he still tried to smile and wave at Lingxi.
"Go quickly, and don't come back once you leave. Protect yourself."
The painful memories became vague and unreal at this moment, as if the safe and sound family members in front of me were the real memories.
Lingxi wiped away her tears, smiled and waved at them: "Dad, Qiqi, I'm leaving. You must take good care of yourselves here."
"Don't worry." The father held back his tears, smiled with red eyes and nodded.
Taking a deep breath, Lingxi grabbed Rongxiao's hand and shouted, "Xiaoxiao, let's go!!"
After opening the door, Aunt Wang, who had been wandering outside, wanted to pounce on them again, but Ling Xi kicked her and sent her back downstairs.
The world in front of her seemed to begin to change, and Ling Xi quickly turned around and closed the door.
Through the narrowing gap in the door, she took a last deep look and closed her eyes.
I have a slight headache.
Lingxi slowly opened her eyes and saw a group of friends surrounding her. They all looked worried, as if they were afraid that she would not wake up.
"Wow, what are you looking at? A monkey?" Ling Xi swayed and tried to get up, but suddenly found that his hands and feet were tied. "Knock? What's going on?"
Just as Long Qingyu was about to explain, something shook outside the rickety little door next to him, and the door of the shed opened.
Everyone pretended to be still unconscious and lay down on the ground.
There seemed to be three or four people entering the shed, and one of them said, "Choose."
There was a sound of clothes rubbing against each other, and someone walked carefully among them, seemingly dragging something heavy out.
The door closed again and there was dead silence.
Fortunately, the shed was big enough, so they were placed at both ends, leaving a wider aisle in the middle.
Only after the room was completely quiet did Long Qingyu open his eyes again. The others also tacitly pursed their lips and said nothing, communicating only with their eyes and small gestures.
When his teammates gathered together, he lowered his voice and explained, "I just ate and already input the required items. They are stones."
Shangguan Yu, who was standing next to him, seemed very satisfied with the result and nodded without saying anything.
"This hill is very strange. We haven't figured out the situation yet. If we are disturbed by overly complicated tasks again, we may be in trouble." Long Qingyu pointed to the ground. There were all kinds of sand and gravel under their feet, and many large and small stones were buried among them.
It seems that stones are the most readily available things and are not their most needed items at the moment.
In this way, the game tasks will not be too difficult.
Long Qingyu opened the light curtain and showed them the game task that had popped up long ago: Stay alive X6.
"This can't be what I think it means, right?" Tian Yichuang frowned and read it twice, somewhat incredulous.
This means... it seems that the mission can be completed only if all of them survive.
In the past, game missions forced them to take risks, but now, they only need to stay alive to get through this untimely game.
"It should be correct." Long Qingyu looked at Shangguan Yu beside him.
Having checked the game tasks, he nodded, confirming what Long Qingyu and Tian Yichuang said.
However, the sudden simplicity of the game mission aroused a sense of unease in my heart.
Could it be that even staying alive will be difficult this time?
Yan Jue's team also looked at their captain. Ling Xuting explained calmly, "Qing Yu and I have discussed this. The input requirements are the same. So far, the mission is the same, which is to keep 6 alive.
Since the tasks are the same, it's easy.
Everyone was about to breathe a sigh of relief when a sudden noise made their hearts beat faster.
“Crack…”
The door was suddenly opened.
Long Qingyu and the others, who had not yet had the time to lie down and pretend to be dead, froze in their places.
Only one person came in, a thin girl who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, with two braids and a dirty face.
She didn't look at the shed. After pushing open the door, the first thing she paid attention to was what was behind her. It seemed that she hid in the shed only after she was sure that no one was following her.
As a result, when she turned around, the girl suddenly met several pairs of eyes staring at her. She was so scared that she screamed and immediately covered her mouth.
"You guys..." After a long moment, the girl lowered her hands in surprise, "Are you all awake?"
"You must be from here," Yan Jue showed his typical business smile, trying to be friendly. "You didn't call anyone here right away. You must have some other purpose for coming here. How about telling me about it?"
The girl was stunned, as if everything she was thinking was seen through by someone.
"Excuse me, do you know why we were brought here?" Although Ling Xuting had a blank expression on his face and looked indifferent and distant, his overly polite tone made it difficult for people to ignore him.
Crouching down and cautiously glancing behind her, the girl lowered her voice and whispered to them, "You are in our village." Suddenly, she looked back, her eyes filled with a different kind of fear, "You are food."
"Huh? People in your village eat people?" Ling Xi was shocked.
The girl shook her head and covered her mouth. “It’s not us who eat it, it’s… those crazy people who eat it.”
"A crazy person?" This sounded like it might lead to something, so Yan Jue continued to ask questions.
"Before, there was an injured person in the village. He would bite anyone he caught, and the bitten people would go crazy and only eat flesh and blood," the girl said, shuddering, hugging her arms, her face ashen. "Then, they locked the crazy person in the backyard and... at first they killed livestock for him to eat, but then they ran out of livestock, so..."
"I understand," Yan Jue nodded thoughtfully, "You were also responsible for the fog in the forest? Psychics? You deliberately used this method to capture people who strayed into the forest and used it as food reserves to feed the crazy families of the villagers, right?"
The girl didn't need to waste any more time explaining, Yan Jue's words explained everything she wanted to say clearly.
The girl nodded desperately, a glimmer of hope in her fearful eyes. "Since you were able to wake up from this hallucination, you must... must not be ordinary people, right? If I have a chance to help you escape, can you... take me out of the village?"
"Why do you want to leave?"
"My parents died when I was very young. I have no relatives or friends here. I'm afraid..."
The girl stammered and lowered her head, quietly looking at the group of people in front of her who were paying attention to her.
The people in the village have gone crazy, capturing living people to feed their family members who have turned into zombies. They even deliberately created a fog that would cause people to hallucinate and capture living people who accidentally entered this area.
But this place is so remote that the number of people we can catch alive will become fewer and fewer in the future.
If they can't catch the person... the people in this village might start to attack the lonely and helpless villagers.
Girls bear the brunt of being targeted.
"What's going on with the heavy fog outside?" Yan Jue comforted her and then turned the conversation to a topic that interested him.
"It seems Liang Ge did it," the girl said, unable to conceal the fear on her face as she spoke of this man. "After the incident in the village, a lot of people came. They were all weird, saying they could help us awaken strange abilities... Everyone got an injection. Afterwards, a lot of people did suddenly gain strange abilities, but I didn't."
"That's called superpowers."
"Oh, okay, they have some strange powers," the girl said with envy. "They almost control the entire village. Even those who come to pick someone up have to look at their faces."
Yan Jue's eyes curved slightly, as if he had received a very satisfactory answer.
As long as the abnormality outside is related to superpowers, it will be easy to deal with.
"So what kind of superpowers are there in your village?"
The girl opened her mouth and was about to answer, but suddenly fell silent.
She looked at Yan Jue suspiciously for a while, then distanced herself from him: "If I tell you everything, will you really help me?"
"Of course, and... you don't have a choice, do you?" Yan Jue knew she was worried. The girl's last bit of vigilance was encouraging her to regain her absolute advantage. "Who can guarantee when we'll catch someone alive again? Besides, you might not run into a team as powerful as ours again. If you run into a bunch of weaklings, not only will they be unable to save you, but they'll also be in trouble themselves. Your hopes will be dashed."
The voice with a hint of laughter seemed to be explaining and analyzing the pros and cons for her, but in fact it was issuing a warning, making the girl realize that—
Meeting them was her once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Once you miss it, you may never have such good luck again.
The girl bit her lip and couldn't refute. She admitted that Yan Jue had grasped her psychology very well.
Every time she caught a new living person, she would come over quietly to take a look.
But no one has ever been able to wake up from the hallucination. While they are still sleeping in the hallucination, they are taken away and fed to zombies.
The girl had never felt so close to the hope of leaving as she did now, as if she could get it at her fingertips.
Look around you.
It wasn't just one or two people who woke up from the hallucination, but more than a dozen people!
The aura around them was completely different from anyone she had met before.
"There are some things I'm not sure about. Give me some time. You guys wait here," the girl whispered, squatting on the ground and slowly backing away. "I'll be back after dark."
Without waiting for Yan Jue to answer, the girl opened the door and carefully slipped out, her footsteps gradually fading away.
"What? We have to wait until night?" Tian Yichuan lay on the ground like Ge You, leaning against the soft hay behind him. He even felt a little sleepy again. "With so many of us, we can just rush out and do it. Why wait? Isn't it a waste of time?"
"Then why don't you go and come back quickly, Brother Chuan. We'll wait here for you to settle this, and then we'll go out together. How about that?" Shangguan Yu was busy playing with the rope hanging from his wrist, and his tone made Tian Yichuang want to explode.
His hands were still tied in front of his chest. To avoid using his hands, he simply grabbed Shangguan Yu's collar with both hands and said, "Hey, what's wrong with what I said?"
"Don't ever be too confident in your own strength." With no one around, Yan Jue didn't need to pretend and simply lay down on the hay with his eyes closed to rest. "Showing your cards too early will allow the enemy to see through you faster, and it will only put us at a disadvantage."
Compared to Shangguan Yu's sarcastic tone, Yan Jue's way of speaking was unexpectedly acceptable to Tian Yichuang.
But he didn't understand.
The abilities and strength of both teams are so strong, is it really necessary to be so cautious?
What's more, Lao Wei is a person with lightning abilities. A high voltage electricity from him can even burn a house. What is there to be afraid of?
However, even Yan Jue said so, Tian Yichuang felt a little more cautious inexplicably, and he calmed down and stopped thinking about counterattacking immediately.
The people in the village didn't seem to care much about them. Occasionally, someone walked by in the open space outside, and laughter could be heard from time to time.
It was not until it was completely dark that there was a lively conversation outside the shed again.
There were at least four people who came, chattering about something as they reached the door. The door opened and a gust of cold wind blew in, making Tian Yichuang, who was standing closest to the door, feel like sneezing.
"You have to give me 10 kilograms of potatoes you just harvested, 5 kilograms of rice, and 3 kilograms of fresh Chinese cabbage." Standing at the door, someone was stating the conditions while scribbling on a notebook.
A middle-aged man who was following not far away had an anxious look on his face, his hands tucked into his sleeves, urging, "Okay, okay, okay, just let me take someone back quickly. My son is starving!"
"Okay, since the conditions are right, then you can choose."
The middle-aged man nodded excitedly, holding a long bamboo tube in his hand, nodding... and landing on Tian Yichuan: "Choose him."
Tian Yichuang felt the bamboo tube pressing on his calf, and his heart couldn't help but skip a beat.
As if afraid of being affected by the hallucination, the middle-aged man immediately moved the bamboo tube away. Someone immediately came forward and seemed to be dragging something on the ground.
Tian Yichuang tried hard to play dead, and even though he was curious, he couldn't open his eyes to look.
The next second, a rope was suddenly put around his neck, almost strangling him to the point of suffocation.
Knock! It has come to this! How can I endure this?
Cursing in his heart, Tian Yichuang continued to remain in a "sleepy" state, and secretly began to rub the fireball with his blocking hands.
But no matter how he rubbed it, the fire... just didn't appear.
The supernatural power suddenly lost its effect.
Tian Yichuang didn't believe it and tried it several times. The situation was exactly the same as when he was injected with the potion that made his super powers ineffective.
But the difference is that he was not injected with anything strange.
The rope around his neck was tied very roughly, as if he was not to be taken for granted and was intended to be taken away like cargo.
"Wait."
Just when Tian Yichuang was about to resist with brute force, the person who had just "picked the goods" suddenly spoke again.
"Change this, this," he seemed to be walking away, his voice sounding urgent, "Change this."
"Think carefully, don't keep switching around, it'll be hard to catch you."
The rope around the neck loosened and the footsteps gradually moved towards the other side.
In that position... those lying there were all strangers. They were all still trapped in hallucinations and had no idea what they were about to face.
The heavy dragging sound gradually faded away, the door of the shed was closed, and the surroundings became quiet again.
After a long time, Tian Yichuang opened his eyes and began to count his companions.
Fortunately, there are many.
"Fuck, I almost got caught just now," Tian Yichuan stretched his neck and gently touched his aching neck, "It will be our turn sooner or later, are you really not going to take action?"
"Did you notice anything wrong?" Yan Jue, who was not far away, suddenly spoke up.
Tian Yichuan was stunned, slapped his leg excitedly, and tried to suppress his voice: "I just wanted to use my supernatural power, but it didn't work! I tried several times, it definitely didn't work!"
After saying that, he spread out his palms and began to concentrate on condensing the flames...
With a snap, a flame ignited in the palm of his hand.
Tian Yichuan: "...No, you heard the explanation!"
"No need to explain," Yan Jue shook his head and smiled calmly, "When that person tried to catch you just now, he also bumped into me, so the supernatural power really failed."
Tian Yichuan: "!!!"
"But why? Why did the ability lose its effect for no reason?" Ling Xi thought about it over and over again, but couldn't figure it out. "Besides, isn't it restored now?"
"Could it be some possibility..."
Rong Xiao beside him excitedly said, "That person's ability is to make super powers disappear!"
This is a tongue twister.
But Rong Xiao said what Yan Jue wanted to say.
Since no drugs had been injected into him, there was no strange smell and no strange sounds were heard.
Yan Jue immediately suspected that the problem was with that person.
Making the superpower disappear...it's like a special advantage in itself.
In the end times, most of what gives this advantage is supernatural instinct.
Moreover, as soon as that person left, the supernatural power was immediately restored, which further proves that the root of the problem lies with that person.
"This place is full of hidden talents," Ling Xi exclaimed. "Not only do some people have abilities that can create illusionary fog, but some even have abilities that can make their powers disappear... Could it be..."
"Maybe there is something else we haven't thought of." As soon as Yan Jue spoke, everyone present fell silent.
Tian Yichuang suddenly began to feel fortunate that they did not become overconfident and counterattack from the very beginning. If they had really encountered such a situation, who knows what the situation would have been.
It was completely dark.
The noises outside became quieter and quieter, as if it was time for everyone to go to sleep.
About an hour later, the door of the shed rustled for a while and a person came in.
It's a girl during the day.
