Chapter 66: Personality is More Important
She turned her head and looked in the direction I pointed. When she saw her appearance in the mirror, a trace of panic flashed across her face.
"Well, let's continue with the topic we were talking about," I said.
…
"Can I have a cigarette then?"
I nodded.
"Please light a cigarette for me. You have tied my hands and they are injured." She seemed to be accustomed to men offering services actively and made the request very naturally.
I took out the cigarettes and lighter from her bag and handed the lit cigarette to the woman.
Then I put the remaining cigarettes and lighter back into her bag. She said, "I'll leave them to you. I'm afraid I won't need them anymore. Didn't you just finish two at the bar? I think you'll like the flavor. And you don't have a lighter."
I shook my head and refused, "I'm not used to accepting gifts from strangers."
The woman curled her lips.
"Let's get started." I motioned for her to continue.
"The turning point was my ex-boyfriend..." She paused, then laughed again. "Ah, or should I say, his ex-ex. I once wishfully thought we were truly in love. But he was a scumbag, yet he awakened superpowers. People with superpowers never lack lovers, and then I was abandoned. It's a cliché."
The woman took a puff of her cigarette. "I was so angry at the time, I did some stupid things, and then I inexplicably awakened my supernatural powers. Of course, I took revenge on him, but now I can't even recall those childish emotions."
"Are you taking revenge on him because he played with your feelings?"
The woman said as a matter of course, "Yes, after gaining the ability, it will be easy to do whatever you want to him."
I whispered, "So, you are actually the same."
"What"
"When we found you, you were still using your powers to hurt and toy with others."
The woman exhaled a puff of smoke. "The damage you describe isn't absolute. I might have seduced them the first time, but after that, they always came to me, begging me to let them do whatever they wanted."
The woman chuckled and said, "Haha, I admit that superheroes do do a lot of good things, but in the final analysis, upholding justice is just a slogan used to paralyze ordinary people who don't have access to superpowers and create the illusion of social stability and peace.
People are driven by desire, and awakening superpowers doesn't change a person's essence. It's like opening Pandora's box. After gaining power, I'm just an ordinary person, following my heart's desires."
I said, "But people must learn to control their desires, rather than letting them swell and get out of control."
At this time, she had recovered some strength and used her ability to change her appearance again. It was not the face that Zhong Mengfan and I saw in the bar. She had become another person, still with a gorgeous appearance, which was not at all similar to her original appearance.
"Yes. So, you are a superhero. And I..." She raised her bound hands, "Now I am the prisoner you have captured." After saying that, she gave me a wink.
"You have been caught by us, why do you want to change your face again?" Zhong Mengfan asked.
"Because I don't like talking to you with my original face." The woman answered and then said to me, "This time, I changed to a pure lustful look. Mr. Xia Ye, do you like this type?"
I laughed a little. "Ms. Qian Mei, if I say that I care more about the compatibility of personality, you must think that as a man, I am saying one thing and thinking another."
She shook her head and said, "No, I will believe you. You are telling the truth. However, attractive personality is a must for you. And appearance is just the most basic requirement for you."
I blinked, not expecting such an evaluation. "Well, Miss Qianmei, you are indeed unique enough to make me remember you. Of course, it doesn't mean I have an interest in the opposite sex."
"Then I'm honored. Frankly speaking, I've never had a very good opinion of men. Before I awakened my powers, I was ridiculed by my peers as a scumbag harvester and a garbage man recycling station. I think the awakening of my succubus powers must have a lot to do with these unpleasant experiences in the past."
After hearing the woman's self-narration, I began to suspect that she had taken revenge on more than one ex-boyfriend.
Finally, she said to me, "Mr. Xia Ye, you are the first good man I have ever fallen in love with, especially after knowing your identity as a superhero. Although, you don't like me."
"Hmm." I made a vague single sound, and for a moment I couldn't tell whether it was a good word or a bad word.
