The live broadcast room was in chaos. Xu Xiaoxiao's message was like a drop of water flowing into a turbulent river. It was swallowed up in the blink of an eye. No one noticed it.
[What happened?]
[Where is Pepper? Why doesn't he talk?]
[He didn't land! Did he fly higher? It looks like he's far away from the intersection of Route 66.]
[What happened to Pepper? Is his ability ineffective?]
...
The people in the live broadcast room didn't know the specific situation. They just saw from the perspective shared by Pepper that the dark golden network cable that was weakened became weaker and weaker, and the sound of the wind in their ears became louder and louder.
Zheng Siyao and the other two standing on the side of the road witnessed the whole process.
They didn't know what happened at the time. They only saw the tall and thin girl walking out of the childhood cram school quickly and looking up at the sky.
The three of them also raised their heads. The night enveloped the city. The lights blurred the borders and made it impossible to see the situation above with the naked eye.
Only Zheng Siyao's face suddenly turned pale and she said in a lost voice: "Someone jumped down!"
She heard a somewhat special heartbeat, falling from the sky, heavy and powerless.
"Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-"
Xiaomei's skirt suddenly flipped up. She didn't have time to reach out and hold it down. The sudden strong wind blew the three of them back two steps. When they came to their senses, they saw the huge black wings spread out behind the girl just now.
They followed her line of sight and looked over. The strong wind lifted the falling boy into the air.
In a moment of distraction, they only saw a huge shadow covering the boy.
Then, he was lifted up and flew away by the girl flapping her huge wings.
Xiaomei's sugar-roasted chestnuts fell to the ground. The three people present didn't care about it. They walked quickly to the Childhood Tutoring Center and asked Xu Xiaoxiao who was sitting on the ground.
Xu Xiaoxiao grabbed Zheng Siyao's wrist and stood up, patting the dust on his pants. "The boy is a live broadcaster. He stayed in our store for a long time in the afternoon. No one thought he would have such thoughts. The person who caught him was the owner. I don't know where the two people went, but his live broadcast room is still online."
Zheng Siyao, Xiaomei, and Du Haoling immediately took out their mobile phones to log in to the live broadcast software.
Huojiao's live broadcast room was already the most popular a few minutes ago. At this time, millions of viewers flocked in crazily, and the number of online viewers continued to increase.
It was a bit slow to get in, and it took the three of them some time to squeeze into the live broadcast room.
At this time, the audience saw the scene in Pepper's field of vision. In the distance, the lights were brilliant, like a sea of fire.
The sound of wind was whistling in their ears, and they were getting away from the prosperity.
Pepper was struggling, his white sneakers appeared from time to time, the rustling sound of the fabric of his clothes and the sound of his rapid breathing - very obvious in the quiet night sky with only the sound of wind.
The hand holding Pepper was slender and thin, but Pepper couldn't break free, and finally could only hoarsely say angrily: "Let me go! Why do you care about me!"
The netizens in the live broadcast room were so excited when they heard the voices.
[Pepper is fine! ]
[Fortunately, it's okay! This dead kid scared me to death! ]
[Am I the only one who wants to know who held Pepper up? 】
【He must be a big guy with very powerful superpowers! 】
【I think I saw wings! 】
【Is it an animal-type ability like Pepper? 】
...
"I want to take you to the highest place, we're almost there."
The owner's voice came with the sound of the wind, and the live broadcast room was boiling again.
【This is!!! 】
【If I heard it correctly, it's the owner of the Childhood Tutorial Center? 】
【That's her! Her voice is soft, and her tone is indescribably indifferent, but also particularly reassuring. You can't forget it after hearing it. 】
【Aren't you guys here to do reading comprehension? 】
【I didn't see you guys being so talkative when Pepper talked to the owner in the afternoon. 】
【With such a gentle voice, who would have thought she was so awesome? 】
【I remember! Ever since the childhood cram school opened at the intersection of No. 66 Sanhua Road, I seem to have never seen any news reports about bridge collapses near that place. 】
【Do you need to tell me? Who can fall down with that energy net floating in the air? 】
【…Is there a possibility? I mean, the energy net could have been laid by the owner? 】
【But she doesn't have the ability of an animal system? Only a natural system can do this kind of high-level skill of 'laying a suspended energy net in the sky'? 】
...
In just a few minutes, Lu Yao had brought Pepper to the destination.
She gently placed Pepper on the top floor of Building No. 66.
The transparent diamond-shaped glass with uneven patterns was embedded in the metal frame piece by piece, reflecting the moonlight like pieces of ice tiles.
Under the glass greenhouse, the candlelight was dim, and dozens of faces that had lost their ability to control their expressions were like sunflowers in the sun, staring at the two people who suddenly landed.
Lu Yao folded his wings, pulled Jiao Jiao to sit down, and started chatting: "Tell me, why did you do that?"
Jiao Jiao became obedient when he landed on the glass greenhouse, tapped the glass tiles with his fingers, and whispered: "Someone is watching below." Lu
Yao wore a balance ring on his index finger, and with a light tap, the transparent glass was infected by darkness and temporarily turned into opaque black glass.
Jiao Jiao blinked in surprise, "Is this also your ability? Aren't you just an animal type?" Lu Yao
answered one by one: "Yes, this is also one of my abilities. What is an animal type?"
Jiao Jiao was even more surprised: "You have wings, isn't that a bird's ability?"
The audience in the live broadcast room saw Lu Yao through Jiao Jiao's eyes.
However, the night was dark, and the owner in Pepper's eyes was just an outline that looked like it was inlaid, with a soft light golden light all around her, and her specific appearance could not be seen.
However, her voice was more recognizable.
Lu Yao chuckled and grabbed the wing-shaped necklace pendant on his chest: "The wings you are talking about are not my ability. Well, actually, you can say that. It should be regarded as a derivative of my ability. The reason I can fly is actually due to this prop - the flying toy that the Childhood Tutorial Center is currently developing. Wearing it can experience the feeling of flying like insects and birds, or even like a dragon in a Western fantasy novel."
The manager of the Glass Flower House Restaurant received a report from the foreman and was rushing from the office to deal with this huge gaffe.
The foreman said that the situation was complicated, but there was a live broadcast online.
The manager opened his mobile phone with the idea of understanding the situation in advance, and saw the owner introducing the flying toy, and his steps gradually slowed down.
When the guests in the glass restaurant found that the ceiling was covered, they also took out their phones to watch the live broadcast.
Hu Jiao's eyes widened, "Impossible, how can there be such an outrageous toy? You are lying to me, right?"
Lu Yao couldn't help it, raised his hand and slapped Hu Jiao's head, almost knocking him off, and immediately pulled him back, "What's the benefit of lying to you? You are full of bad intentions, not only did you climb the overpass, but you also cut my energy network."
At this point, Lu Yao finally remembered something that had been on her mind but hadn't thought of.
She held Hu Jiao down, took out her phone from her pocket, and made a call.
The phone rang only once before it was quickly picked up. Lu Yao asked, "Xiaoxiao, are you still in the store?"
Xu Xiaoxiao: "I'm still here."
Lu Yao: "I have something to do right now and can't come back. Help me."
Lu Yao asked Xu Xiaoxiao to use the special bubble gun placed behind the shelf to add two layers of energy nets outside the store.
This kind of thing happened one after another, and she felt uneasy if she didn't take good care of it.
Today the energy net was cut, and she had to come up with a plan when she got back.
Zheng Siyao and the other two watched the store owner making a phone call in the live broadcast, and the clerk found the bubble gun according to her instructions.
Xiaomei was full of disbelief: "Use this toy gun to lay an energy net?"
Xu Xiaoxiao was also using it for the first time, and she completed the task easily according to Lu Yao's instructions.
Du Huoling took out a monocle with a special lens from his pocket and observed the sky above the cram school through the lens. "It has indeed been refilled."
Xiaomei didn't believe it, "Really? Lend it to me."
After Xiaomei finished reading, Zheng Siyao took it and took a look, "Maybe the owner never lied, the Childhood Cram School really wants to provide childhood cram schools for adults in need."
There was no time to think deeply. The number of people watching Hu Jiao's live broadcast room online was increasing, and there were already more than 8 million.
After receiving a call from Xu Xiaoxiao saying that the energy network had been re-laid, Lu Yao felt relieved and looked at Hu Jiao again: "Okay, let's talk about your problem."
Hu Jiao was full of thorns and turned his head to look elsewhere, "I have nothing to talk to you about."
This kid's mind has not calmed down yet.
Lu Yao's tone was the same as before, and he talked to him casually: "You may not have thought about this - if I hadn't noticed something unusual a few minutes ago and let you succeed, my store might have to close tomorrow. Even if it doesn't close immediately, it will eventually go bankrupt if there are no customers. A new clerk just came to my store today, the young girl you met this afternoon. She just finished tutoring today, Just decided to start over. You may have chatted with her for a few minutes and may think she is a nice person. But you can never imagine what she has been through. I admire her and like her very much, and I have promised to support her to start a new life. If my store goes bankrupt, she will be out of business. Now, do you think we can talk? "
Pepper pinched the hem of the sweater with both hands, and the elastic fabric was pulled into wrinkles.
Maybe more than ten seconds later, Pepper spoke slowly: "What do you want to talk about? Don't ask me why, I just feel that I have lived enough. It’s just that I didn’t choose the right place, I will pay attention next time. "
Some viewers in the live broadcast room couldn’t help it.
[This bastard!]
[The fist is hard! How did this guy’s parents teach him? He is rude and stubborn! 】
【The shop owner has such a good temper. I'll beat him up first! We'll talk after he's convinced! 】
...
Perhaps it was because the location was high enough. Under the thick night sky, the faintly twinkling stars also became brighter and gathered into a galaxy.
Lu Yao looked up at the sky, his voice as refreshing as the night wind: "A writer once wrote that when a person dies, it is like water disappearing into water (1). Another writer wrote that death is not the loss of life, but the departure from time (2). Death and aging are as common as the stars in the sky. Everyone will encounter them. When the time comes, no one can avoid it. But for a young person like you, I think it's a little too early."
Huo Jiao bit his lips tightly, still with a stubborn look on his face.
Lu Yao sighed and said in a helpless tone: "Sometimes I think that death may just be the transition of life from one stage to another. Life walks out of the time of being alive, but enters the time of death. In another world, your body becomes very light, you have infinite time, you will no longer age, but you can no longer feel the vitality of the changing world. You can't smell anything, taste food, or feel cold or hot. You are as eternal as time, and you are as silent and lonely as time."
Huo Jiao couldn't help but say: "You have a very rich imagination." Lu Yao shrugged
: "I'm surprised too. Human beings have acquired superpowers, but their imaginations are as dry and shriveled as old loofahs in autumn. They have degenerated to be even less interesting than the ancients thousands of years ago."
The owner said all of his personal experiences, but I'm afraid no one will believe it.
Hu Jiao used his invisible eyes to peek at the shopkeeper, "What's your ability like?"
Lu Yao turned his head and looked over, "Interested?"
Hu Jiao curled his lips, "I've just never seen this before."
Lu Yao: "My ability is nothing special. If I have to say, it's probably that I can give matter the characteristics I want."
The system couldn't help it: [Hey! Your ability hasn't even awakened yet, don't act like it's custom made here. ]
Lu Yao shook his head: "You're boring too. Am I not supplementing the settings? It will be so convenient to sell toys in the future."
System: [……]
Hu Jiao was a little surprised: "Just like that? Not a super strong natural system, or an ancient fantasy beast system?"
Hu Jiao had guessed wrong just now, and thought that the shopkeeper's superpower was a rarer system.
Lu Yao shook his head: "People always like to distinguish between strong and weak things, and mistakenly believe that the person with the strongest attack power, the most flamboyant, or the one with superpowers is the best. Few people understand that the real long-lasting and vital strength comes from the heart. I already know that you don't really want to die."
Hu Jiao's face turned ugly.
Lu Yao continued: "You may have encountered difficulties, but you couldn't find a solution, and you didn't know how to rescue yourself. You got deeper and deeper and finally lost."
"You lack the courage to support yourself." The owner's voice was very soft, but it was like a sharp knife piercing Hu Jiao's heart.
I don't know what Hu Jiao recalled, his shoulders trembled violently, and the screen of the live broadcast room was cut off at this time.
Nearly 10 million people saw their confused faces on their devices at the same time.
The live broadcast room showed "The anchor is on the way", but until dawn, this live broadcast room did not reconnect.
Pepper grabbed the owner's hand, her voice even hoarser and rougher than before, "You're right, everything you said is right. I've done everything, but I still can't escape, I'm so fed up." Pepper
was very excited, her bloodshot eyes staring at the owner, some scenes deep in her memory were transmitted to her mind through empathy.
Lu Yao was startled, "Enough."
Pepper's expression was somewhat relaxed.
Only by empathy can human beings understand each other.
He only shared one thousandth of the pain he suffered, and she was in so much pain that she was about to cry.
Lu Yao grabbed Pepper's wrist with his backhand and pulled him up, "I already understand your situation, let's go back to the store and arrange a tutoring time for you as soon as possible."
Pepper: "???"
What is this woman thinking?
Lu Yao activated the flying necklace and took Hu Jiao back to the cram school forcefully.
In the live broadcast room with a gray screen, millions of viewers were reluctant to leave. At
the Super Power Research Institute, An Yan put down his phone and called the subject beside him: "Okay, continue the test."
The subject was fascinated by the live broadcast just now, and after the live broadcast room was disconnected, he was obsessed with reading the messages. When he was interrupted, he was like waking up from a dream.
Just before the test began, the subject could not help but say, "Teacher An, I want to take a half-day off tomorrow."
An Yan: "What's the matter?"
Subject: "I want to go to the cram school on Sanhua Road."
An Yan: "?"
The subject lowered his head, a little shy: "I just think her words are interesting, and I want to go to the store to take a look."
"..." Without naming names, An Yan's eyes unconsciously lowered a point, and his voice sank two points: "Finish today's ability test first."
If you still have the energy to go out tomorrow, feel free to take a leave.
In the single apartment, Xiao Ze read the messages for a while, and felt that the live broadcast room would no longer be connected, so he also exited.
[People die, just like water disappears into water. ]
[Death is not the loss of life, but just walking out of time. ]
Xiao Ze began to think about death uncontrollably, and couldn't help but think of the night when he met Lu Yao.
If he hadn't met her, he would be a drop of water that disappeared in the water. He
was confused all his life when he was alive, and was in chaos when he died. In the blink of an eye, he was swallowed up by time.
Fortunately, fortunately, Xiao Ze suddenly felt fortunate.
Meeting her was just the beginning of everything getting better.
Tomorrow is the time he and the store owner agreed to check the tutoring results.
Xiao Ze was surprised to find that his impoverished heart seemed to have accumulated some courage at some point.
Even if there is no one who loves him in the end, he should be able to move forward alone.
