Chapter 4: Psychic Power Mind Control
Tang Tang ran away, and Chen Chen let go of Ji An, calling out affectionately, "Ah An..."
Ji An turned and left without looking back. He could hear the people around him talking and accusing him.
"Ji An really doesn't know what's good for him. He's just an ordinary person, but he dares to be so unreasonable to the base commander. Isn't he relying on the commander's liking for him? If this happened in another base, let alone the commander, even a random psychic would have killed him long ago. He still has the chance to show off his power!"
"She's so lucky. She started dating the commander before the apocalypse. I heard they were classmates in high school."
"If you ask me, it's because our commander is affectionate. Look at other bases, many couples broke up after one of them activated their superpowers and the other remained an ordinary person. Only our commander is kind and righteous, and he is deeply in love with his former partner."
"How else can I put it? Ji An doesn't know what's good for him! He doesn't have any special abilities, but he can still get by like a duck in water, and it's all because of the commander's protection. Over the years, he didn't earn any supplies, but he can still keep himself young and tender, and it's all because of the commander's support. He's still not satisfied!"
"The commander shouldn't care about people like him. Let him go out and explore on his own. He will know how difficult it is for an ordinary person to survive in the apocalypse without the protection of a superpower!"
"That's right. He doesn't even think about the fact that without the commander protecting him, he, an ordinary person, can still hunt down level 3 zombies. He's dreaming! He's lucky not to be eaten by level 3 zombies. Now the commander just wants to get back the crystal core he got with his help, but Ji An is unwilling to give it to him and shamelessly comes to collect the reward. Bah!"
"Ji An is so good-looking, I think even if he goes to a place with ordinary people, his life won't be that difficult. After all, he can still find a long-term meal ticket."
"So, our commander is his long-term meal ticket..."
Ji An walked further and further away, leaving the rumors behind him far behind.
He has never relied on Chen Chen. The people in these bases don't know Ji An's true strength, and it's also because Ji An never teams up with strangers.
Every time he went on a mission, it was him, Chen Chen, Tang Tang, Song Pengcheng, and three of Chen Chen's confidants.
Essentially, these people are all Chen Chen's men. As long as he gives the order, no one dares to reveal Ji An's true strength.
Therefore, the residents in the base all thought that Ji An was a weakling in combat and relied on Chen Chen's protection to survive.
At the beginning of the apocalypse, he and Chen Chen were both ordinary people, and Chen Chen relied on him for protection at that time.
After all, Chen Chen grew up in an ordinary family, with his parents loving him, and he had never seen any darkness since he was a child. When the end of the world came, he could not immediately pick up a knife and fight. Chen Chen really could not do it.
Ji An is different. He is an orphan who has lived in an orphanage since childhood. Children in the orphanage have seen everything in order to live a good life, and fighting is a common occurrence. Ji An was often bullied when he was a child, and the first thing he did to earn money during the winter and summer vacations was to learn Taekwondo.
Compared to Chen Chen who had always lived a comfortable life, Ji An adapted faster in the early days of the apocalypse and took good care of Chen Chen.
Chen Chen was able to return home safely from school and find his mother thanks to Ji An.
It was Ji An who taught Chen Chen step by step how to hunt zombies, how to survive, and how to overcome psychological barriers when he didn't have superpowers.
Chen Chen awakened his supernatural powers in the third year of the apocalypse. Before that, Ji An had always been the protector between the two of them.
It was Ji An who had been protecting Chen Chen and his mother.
Even Tang Tang was saved by Ji An. At that time, the end of the world had just arrived, and the ugly human nature had not yet been completely exposed. The story of the farmer and the snake was still just a story, and many people would save others on the way to escape.
Tang Tang was rescued from a pile of zombies when Ji An and Chen Chen were on their way back home from school to find Chen's mother.
At that time, Chen Chen didn't even dare to kill zombies, and Ji An was protecting him all the way. Later, when he saw Tang Tang being besieged by zombies, Ji An felt pity and planned to save her.
Chen Chen happened to have the same idea as Ji An, so he yelled at Ji An, who was protecting him while fighting the zombies, to save Tang Tang.
Tang Tang heard these words and kept them in her heart.
She believed that her savior was Chen Chen, and if Chen Chen had not asked Ji An to save her, she would have died in the pile of zombies that day.
Regardless of whether Ji An saved her out of his own will, let’s just say that it was always Ji An who killed the zombies.
How could Chen Chen, a person who was protected by others and didn't kill a single zombie, be considered a savior?
What to use to save, mouth?
Then everyone in this world is probably a savior?
Ji An himself awakened his superpowers in the fourth year of the apocalypse. At first, he didn't know that he had awakened superpowers, and just thought he just had an ordinary high fever.
Because other superpowers awaken their powers after a high fever, Ji An felt nothing after he recovered. He could neither call the wind nor the rain, nor could he make thunder and lightning. He also could not summon a copper wall and iron fortress like other superpowers.
He was no different from others, but soon after, Ji An discovered that he was different from others.
He seems to be able to bewitch people, or it would be more appropriate to say that he can control their minds.
Ji An discovered that as long as he looked directly into the other person's eyes and concentrated on thinking about something, he could control the other person to help him do it.
This ability was terrifying, and even Ji An was scared. He understood that he had awakened his psychic ability.
It is said that awakening superpowers is a good thing, but Ji An did not dare to say it. This superpower is really too scary. It can easily control people's thoughts and behaviors. How can such an ability not make people afraid?
Ji An, who grew up in an orphanage, understood the principle of being guilty of possessing a treasure better than anyone else. He did not make it public, pretended that he had no awakened superpowers, and trained his combat abilities every day.
Although he didn't tell Chen Chen and Tang Tangming, the three of them were an iron triangle and always went on missions together. Ji An had never concealed it. He could even kill a level three zombie single-handedly. With such terrifying combat power, how could Chen Chen and Tang Tang not notice anything unusual.
However, the two never asked Ji An about his abnormality. As long as the two asked, Ji An, who had not been reborn, would never hide it. After all, he had already regarded the two as his closest family members.
Now that I think about it, maybe the two of them already knew something, but for some reason, they kept pretending not to know. Otherwise, Tang Tang wouldn't have dug out the superpower crystal core in his brain right after harming him.
In the final analysis, the reason why he, a psychic, was schemed against by Tang Tang was because he trusted her too much and was not on guard against her at all.
Ji An was doomed to fail miserably.
At that time, he was attacked by a group of zombies and exhausted his physical strength. He had no strength to resist whatever Tang Tang wanted to do to him. Although he had psychic abilities, as long as Tang Tang didn't look him in the eye, Ji An couldn't exert mental control on her.
Ji An returned to the house where he and Chen Chen lived together. At the door, Chen's mother was talking to a neighbor. It was unknown what the two were talking about, but Chen's mother looked very excited.
Just at this time, Chen's mother looked up and saw Ji An, and immediately spitted and scolded: "Are you causing trouble for Xiaochen again? You said that you depend on Xiaochen for food and drink, can't you be quiet and cause less trouble for Xiaochen!
Isn't it just a broken crystal core? Xiao Chen helped you get it, why are you reluctant to give it up!
Also, all the food and drinks you eat are earned by Xiaochen, why are you still collecting mission rewards? It's shameful! Don't you deserve to piss yourself in the mirror? "
"Shut up!" Ji An shouted, interrupting Chen's mother's chattering, which frightened her.
No matter how difficult Chen's mother was to get along with, Ji An had always been polite to her. This was the first time he lost his temper with her.
Chen's mother was frightened for a moment and dared not speak.
Ji An entered the room and locked the door. However, looking at the room filled with the atmosphere of his and Chen Chen's life, Ji An felt nauseous.
Especially that bed, which made Ji An want to vomit. He remembered that when he was a ghost, Tang Tang and Chen Chen lived in this room after they got married, the room where he and Chen Chen had lived before. Sleeping on the bed where he and Chen Chen had slept before, and making love on it, wouldn't they be alienated?
They didn't respond, and Ji An was disgusted.
Although the two of them may not have rolled around on this bed yet, Ji An still felt nauseous. He was unwilling to lie down again, so he simply found a chair and sat down.
Ji An closed his eyes, feeling the mental power in his head, trying to capture it, control it...
Suddenly Ji An discovered that his superpowers seemed different. If his previous superpowers were a thin thread, his current superpowers were a stream of water, which was many times stronger than before his rebirth.
It seems that after his rebirth, his mental power has become stronger and has been upgraded. He is now a second-level supernatural power.
Ji An was a little excited and eager to try.
When his mental power reaches the first level, his ability can petrify any living being that is looking at him, and he can mentally control ordinary people and people with the same or higher level abilities.
Now that his mental power is at level two, I wonder if he can mentally control Chen Chen, who is two levels higher than him?
After an unknown amount of time, the door was opened again, and Chen's mother's sharp voice sounded immediately. She complained to Chen Chen, "Xiao Chen, you don't know that Ji An is really outrageous! He just came back, and I didn't say much, but he yelled at me and glared at me with vicious eyes. That look was scary, as if he wanted to kill me!"
Mother Chen followed behind Chen Chen, wherever he went, she followed him, "I heard from your neighbor aunt that Ji An had a seizure today and quarreled with Tang Tang?
I mean, Tang Tang is such a good girl, how could she be an eyesore to him? "
Mother Chen said, suddenly she whispered: "Xiao Chen, why don't you kick Ji An out? Ji An is really not worthy of you. Look at how good Tang Tang is. She is a dual-powered person with space and healing abilities. She is a girl and can give us a grandson. Xiao Chen, you are the only child of our Chen family. Now all the men in our Chen family are dead, and you are the only one left. If you get involved with a man, the roots of our Chen family will be cut off!"
"Mom, can you please stop talking about this!" Chen Chen interrupted his mother angrily, "Where's Ji An?"
Mother Chen nodded in the direction of the master bedroom and said, "In the bedroom. I'll go into the bedroom when I get back."
Chen Chen glared at Chen's mother, "Why are you still saying those things? Didn't I tell you not to say that kind of thing in front of him?"
Ji An heard the conversation between the mother and son clearly in the bedroom, and couldn't help but show a cold expression.
It's ridiculous that Chen's mother still has time to think about having no offspring at this time! It seems that she is still too full!
"An." Chen Chen pushed the door open and came in with a guilty look on his face. "I'm sorry, but I really don't know what's wrong with you. You're really abnormal today. In any case, you shouldn't treat Tang like that. She will be sad..."
Ji An felt sick to his stomach. He didn't want to hear Chen Chen say anything more disgusting, nor did he want to see him.
Ji An looked directly into Chen Chen's eyes, locked eyes with him, and released his mental tentacles, which quickly penetrated into Chen Chen's brain. He ordered, "Don't let me see you again today. Get out right now, and don't go back to your room to sleep at night. Do you understand?"
Chen Chen's pupils began to dilate, his brain was in a daze, only Ji An's voice pierced into his mind, and he couldn't help but want to obey.
"Yes." Chen Chen answered slowly in a dragging tone.
The bedroom door closed with a crisp sound, like a thunderclap in Chen Chen's ears. Chen Chen suddenly came back to his senses and shook his head. He was so tired that he was actually confused just now.
By the way, he just went in to find Ji An and planned to have a deep talk with him. Why did he come out? It seemed that Ji An didn’t want to be disturbed and wanted to be alone.
But what happened today was clearly not Tang Tang’s fault, and he had to make it clear to him.
When Chen Chen's hand was on the door handle, Chen Chen suddenly gave up.
Forget it, An may be in a bad mood today, maybe he will be fine tomorrow.
Inside the door, Ji An leaned against the door and fell to the ground weakly. His head hurt so much that it felt like it was about to explode.
It is not easy to control Chen Chen mentally, as the other party's ability level is much higher than his. Chen Chen is completely unprepared for him. If he had been a little wary, he would not have succeeded today.
However, even so, his head hurt so much that it felt like it was going to explode. Ji An could feel that all the mental energy in his brain was exhausted because of just a few seconds of mental control.
This is probably the consequence of cross-level mental control. If it were any other level 4 psychic, he would never be able to succeed even if he exhausted all his mental energy.
It seems that if you want to leave the base, you can only do it sneakily and absolutely cannot face Chen Chen head-on.
Ji An closed his eyes, sat on the ground and began to recuperate his mental strength as he had a tough battle to fight in the evening.
