After the counselor gave him the go-ahead, Tang Xinjue didn't hesitate: "After I lost my fighting ability, I needed my roommate's protection, but my roommate lost an arm during the exam."
She pushed Zheng Wanqing to the front.
The counselor only needed to glance at him to understand the cause and consequences of the injury. She thought carefully for a moment and then spoke softly:
“Sometimes, loss does not mean incompleteness, but the beginning of another opportunity.”
Zheng Wanqing was startled and lowered her eyes, looking at her own empty sleeves. Then she heard the instructor say, "I can't make your body grow back, but I hope my blessing can make you healthier and stronger."
Blessings were born, and an imperceptible glimmer fell on Zheng Wanqing. She subconsciously touched her head and said, "Thank you, thank you."
"You're welcome." The counselor smiled, "So..."
"So since the human body can get injured and sick, then—" Tang Xinjue changed the subject seamlessly, his expression sincere and innocent: "Can our awakened superpowers also get sick?"
She spread out the supernatural weapon in her palm, and the toilet plunger spit out a stream of water.
The counselor was successfully distracted and blurted out, "Oh yes, this is your ability. It's very closely connected to you, which is rare. How did you awaken it?"
After Tang Xin Jue explained the reason for his awakening, she suddenly understood: "So that's how it is. It's one of your daily necessities."
The counselor was very excited: "No wonder I feel so familiar and interesting when I see it. What is it called? What is it used for in your life?"
Tang Xin Jue nodded: "It's called a toilet plunger, and it's used to unclog the toilet."
counselor:"……"
After understanding the meaning of these words, she nodded dryly, "I see... ahem, regarding its problem, I can only sense that it's not serious. Don't worry, the ability is connected to the host. If it suffers serious damage, the host will sense it before anyone else."
In short, it's not a big problem.
Tang Xinjue did not intend to let the other party get away with it, and immediately asked for the specific repair channels.
This really stumped the counselor. She concentrated and thought for a while, then finally clapped her hands and said, "There's a specialized repair shop in the university town, and their business should have expanded to students. I do have their contact information, but unfortunately I can't express it in symbols you can understand. You'll have to try your luck in the exam..."
Before he finished speaking, Tang Xinjue saw a pink flip phone in his hand.
"If the contact information can't be relayed, why not try entering it into your phone's address book?"
counselor:"???"
She took the phone in a daze, saved the number, and flipped through it. Suddenly, she was surprised and said, "My contact information is in there? Is this your phone? How did you get it?"
Tang Xin Jue took it back calmly, "This was given to me by a friend of mine."
The counselor took two seconds to react, then gradually realized something: "For many local students in the university town, cell phones are extremely valuable. Did this friend you mentioned give it to you voluntarily?"
She seemed to understand why Tang Xin Jue had such an outrageous number of high-level marks.
"A gift of goose feathers from a thousand miles away is worth more than its sentiment. Actually, the value of the phone isn't important to us. As ordinary students, it's nice to receive support from different friends during the exams. Ahem," Tang Xinjue covered his mouth and coughed weakly twice. "Perhaps this is the greatness of friendship."
“…”
The counselor spoke gently, "Student Tang, judging by the fact that you were able to resist my summons and rebuke just now, your mental strength is quite formidable. Combined with your innate ability, it's logical that you could pose a threat to some of the local students. There's no need to underestimate yourself."
At this moment, the girl was so weak that she seemed to be blown away by the wind. If she had not just seen Tang Xinjue wiping away the blood from his seven orifices with an expressionless face, she would have almost believed it.
Tang Xin Jue remained calm and collected, "The bug in the exam system proves that mistakes in judgment are possible. Just like the classmate Guo Guo you're possessing right now, although she has the ability to communicate with yin and yang, she's even more timid and fragile than I am. I wonder if this will cause her to suffer from psychological trauma in the future..."
The counselor had never felt so clearly what it meant to be on pins and needles - if she stayed any longer, she might be skinned alive.
Finally coming to her senses, she quickly glanced at the time, as if having been pardoned: "Ah, visiting hours are over! Sorry, classmates, I won't disturb your rest, hehe."
"Wait." Tang Xinjue suddenly called out, pointing to a newly added contact in his phone's address book, and said with a smile, "College brought us together, and meeting is fate. To make it easier for us to contact you next time, what's your counselor's name?"
The counselor was shocked. What about next contact?
Tang Xin Jue emphasized, "After all, our [Special Subject Support Program] was initiated and managed by you."
"……I see."
Is there any way to immediately change the timeline and prevent her from making a decision in the past?
In the end, she could only smile and say that she would definitely do it next time, while she tiredly and quickly withdrew from Guo Guo's body.
The red eyeball resumed its rotation, gradually blurring and fading in the darkness. Tang Xinjue observed this scene carefully. Just as the eyeball completely disappeared, she placed her palm against the glass window.
—As cold and biting as ever, the darkness silently hit the glass window, trying to corrode the flesh in her palms.
Tang Xin Jue activated [Counselor's Encouragement], and she seemed to be able to feel that her aura had undergone subtle changes.
At the same time, the surging darkness quieted down and no longer hit the balcony window.
This time, she stood by the window for a long time. The darkness reflected her thin face, and in the long silence, a smile finally appeared.
"Xin Jue, are you okay?"
I heard my roommate's worried cry from behind me.
"It's okay." Tang Xinjue shook his head, his eyes brightening astonishingly, and spoke slowly:
"I just thought of something happy."
At six in the morning, Guo Guo looked at Tang Xinjue in front of him and asked after much hesitation, "Xinjue, are you really okay?"
After checking the last manuscript, Tang Xinjue looked up with a bright look in his eyes: "It's okay."
Guo Guo: ...But you have two big dark circles under your eyes, you don’t look like everything is fine!
With their current physical abilities, they could easily stay up all night without developing dark circles. Tang Xinjue's dark circles under his eyes must have been working his brain at full speed all night, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to produce such a stack of manuscripts.
Guo Guo and the other two looked at Tang Xinjue while nibbling on their biscuits and exchanging worried glances.
They believed that Tang Xinjue was most likely stimulated by the counselor yesterday.
After all, the counselor mistook her for a dark creature and nearly beat her to death on the spot, and he also said that even the examination system might mistake her for a ghost. And all of this was due to the excessive dark aura in her body, which did not seem like a human being. For a normal person, this was tantamount to terrible news.
Five minutes later, Tang Xinjue put down his pen and exhaled, "Done!"
She spread out a dozen sheets of paper filled with notes. "You should remember what happened last night. The counselor was right. I do have a lot of darkness in me. Yes, the darkness of dark creatures."
The three of them were tense and ready to use Tang Xin Jue - as soon as she showed frustration and doubt, they interrupted her and comforted her with the psychological knowledge they had learned throughout their lives.
Tang Xin Jue pulled out a piece of paper and pushed it in front of the three people: "Look, what is this."
Zheng Wanqing: "This pattern is close to a triangle. Is this some new type of mathematical modeling?"
Guo Guo: "Big belly water bottle."
Zhang You: "A cone-shaped space?"
Tang Xinjue shook his head, his eyes sparkling with excitement: "This is my brain."
Three people: ???
She drew wavy lines all over it and asked, "What is this?"
This time, the three of them didn't dare to answer easily. After a while, Zheng Wanqing looked solemn:
“Is this the water in your brain?”
“…”
Tang Xin Jue's eyes were filled with enthusiasm: "These are the dark auras."
She drew four oddly shaped circles within the wavy lines. "I don't need to explain this; you should understand."
Zheng Wanqing blurted out: "This means that the four of us will always be together—um—"
Guo Guo blocked Zheng Wanqing's mouth and carefully examined the four strange polygons on the paper. He concluded, "Combined with the information from last night, these should be the four marks left on you by the ghost, right?"
Tang Xin Jue finally nodded and straightened up. "The past three years of nightmares, my extraordinary mental strength, the dark aura that eroded me, and these marks, everything."
"Today, I finally understand it better."
