Chapter 35 You Can Fly
"So, why do we have to stand so high up?" Zhong Mengfan asked me at the top of the tower.
He slowly leaned his head out, gauging the tower's height. A cold breeze blew past, ruffling his hair and mine. Zhong Mengfan squinted his eyes and hunched his shoulders. "Hmm..."
We were now standing at a landmark building in this city. I said calmly, "Because you can fly."
Zhong Mengfan obviously didn't understand what I meant. "Ha"
"Your ability, as long as you can fully lift yourself up when releasing it and maintain your balance, theoretically you can fly, or even hover in the air. Once you become proficient, you can use air pressure to increase your speed and achieve flight."
"Doctor, what are you talking about? My ability is simply not enough to achieve what you are saying."
I reminded him, "Just like that day when we were in mid-air and you released your supernatural powers, remember that feeling."
As if he had a premonition of something, Zhong Mengfan shook his head desperately, "I can't do it, and I don't have wings."
"The way wings fly has nothing to do with how you use your powers to fly."
Zhong Mengfan showed a horrified expression. "So when you said you would take me flying that day, you literally meant for me to learn how to fly!"
I nodded.
Zhong Mengfan said, "If we understand the meaning of 'leading me to fly' normally, shouldn't it be like the hero in the novel, Long Aotian, leading me to upgrade and become stronger, become a winner in life, and reach the pinnacle of life?"
"If I can make you a winner in life just by leading you, then why don't I choose to be the winner myself since I'm so capable?"
He was speechless and said, "...That's true in theory. But doctor, if you want to teach me how to fly, you should at least give me some theoretical knowledge first. Tell me how the awakened ones with the ability to fly first learned to fly. Then, step by step, let me learn to fly with my own ability."
"Instead of doing this, bring me directly to this tower. To be honest, I don't think my ability can allow me to fly. At such a high place, even if my body becomes strong due to awakening my ability, I will die if I fall!!!" He pointed downwards and began to talk incessantly.
I rubbed my ears and said, "The steps are: jump down, then fly up, that's it."
Zhong Mengfan's voice grew louder. "This is too perfunctory! We can't do this. We will fail!"
I ignored his protests and raised my hand and moved my fingers. "Can you dance on your own, or do you need my help?"
He shrank his body and looked at me defensively, "Don't move! Don't come over!!!"
"Looks like you need my help." I pushed his shoulder and said, "Let's get started."
"Wow, wow!" Zhong Mengfan's body shook, and he was about to fall, but he used his special ability to gather a small piece of air flow and compressed it into a transparent wall as a support point to stabilize his body's center of gravity.
Then he immediately hugged the steel frame at hand and shouted, "I can't do it!!! Humans can't fly without wings!!!"
I raised my eyebrows. Based on the impromptu move Zhong Mengfan had just made, I concluded, "You can do it."
So I used much greater strength than before and pushed Zhong Mengfan again.
"Ahhhhh!!!!!" Zhong Mengfan screamed in fear as I pushed him off the top of the tower and he fell from the sky. At first, he was very panicked, waving his limbs wildly in mid-air as he continued to fall.
I shouted at Zhong Mengfan, "Remember how you used your supernatural powers!"
Hearing my voice, he regained some consciousness. The wind around him was changed by his supernatural power. Zhong Mengfan tried to release more supernatural powers to gather the airflow, but it was very unstable, which made his falling speed sometimes slow down and sometimes very fast in mid-air.
I used teleportation to the bottom of the building and looked up at Zhong Mengfan in mid-air.
"Bang!" His body fell to the ground with a loud noise, and blood splattered directly on me who was very close to him.
Zhong Mengfan failed. He didn't learn to fly during the fall, and he stopped breathing the moment he landed. Falling from such a height, his limbs twisted and broken, revealing flesh and bloody bones. His body was in tatters.
In an instant, the sin value I got from him reached a new high.
Of course, pushing him off the tower and letting him experience an extremely real death in his dream is not my purpose, and my sin points are already too much to use up.
Looking at his body, I praised him, "At least he tried to fly in the end and didn't ask me for help." Of course, it is not ruled out that he was too scared and forgot to call for help.
At this moment, the sky and the nearby buildings began to dissolve into black smoke and vanish. The smoke slowly invaded the place where Zhong Mengfan and I were, indicating that the owner of the dream, Zhong Mengfan, was about to wake up from this nightmare.
