Chapter 15 Prophecy
"Wow... Black Pupa, what a descriptive name." Ji Minghuan teased, grinning, "It also fits this weird and strange image, like a big fluttering moth."
"When I saw his photo, the first thing I thought of was you," the tutor suddenly said.
As these words were spoken lightly, the air in the confinement room suddenly became quiet for a second.
Are you kidding me... I've been discovered already? Shouldn't we move on to the dismemberment part?
Ji Minghuan was secretly surprised, but he didn't show any clues on the surface. His face had an expression between confusion and annoyance.
He asked, "Why, do I look even remotely like this ugly thing?"
"you……"
Ji Minghuan held his chin in his hand and interrupted his mentor's words in a gloomy tone, "Teacher, if you want to call me ugly, just say it directly. There is no need to beat around the bush. I can still accept this level of personal attack."
"I mentioned something about your childhood yesterday. At that time, you wrapped yourself tightly with toilet paper rolls, and the nurse at the orphanage took a photo to record it."
As the instructor spoke, he took out another photo from the pocket of his white coat and placed it on top of the photo of "Black Pupa".
Ji Minghuan lowered his eyes and looked silently.
In the photo, the young boy locked himself in the bathroom and wrapped himself in rolls of toilet paper, like a white mummy. His shape was vaguely similar to the black pupa in the previous photo, only in its infancy.
The two photos were stacked together, and the instructor deliberately left a corner of the lower photo exposed. The pupa surrounded by toilet paper was on the left, and the pupa surrounded by restraints was on the right, forming a sharp contrast in color.
Ji Minghuan stared at it for a moment, smacked his lips and said in defense: "Please... I have explained it before. This is really just a stupid thing I did when I was young and ignorant."
He recalled and said nonchalantly: "At least I don't have the habit of dressing myself up as a big moth to scare people in public... When the welfare home celebrated Halloween before, the scariest image I dressed up as was a ghost dog, barking and making trouble unless I was given candy. I can be said to be harmless."
"Actually, I just want to say... maybe after your superpowers awaken, your actual performance will be similar to his." The instructor smiled.
"That's too bizarre. Who would like to tie themselves up like a mummy when they have nothing to do?" Ji Minghuan sighed, "I suggest that after you capture this psychic, you take him to the neurology department to check if there is anything wrong with his brain."
The instructor took back the photo and asked with a smile, "So how is it, are you a little more interested in superpowers?"
"I still have self-knowledge. Muggles are Muggles. It's useless to be interested." Ji Minghuan paused. "Besides, even if I am really as powerful as you say, I would have found a way to escape from this broken place long ago. Why would I have to endure your anger here?"
"But if you are really just an ordinary person, then there is no need for us to go to so much trouble to lock you up here." The tutor did not take his words seriously.
"I still don't understand why you guys arrested me. In this month, you still can't prove that I'm a normal person?"
"Someone predicted that you would destroy the world."
"Ha, ha." Ji Minghuan laughed dryly twice without emotion, and then asked: "Has that person watched too many American blockbusters?" He sighed, "He wants to destroy the world at every turn. I wish the world could be destroyed that easily. Not to mention, I can't even destroy myself. If I want to hurt myself, I'll be electrocuted."
"Who knows?"
"So who is the person who spread rumors about me?" Ji Minghuan asked tentatively, "Can't you bring him to see me so that we can confront each other face to face?"
"No." The instructor interrupted, "To be precise, we can't do it."
"Why? Is his family in outer space?"
"No, we've never met him and we don't even know his identity."
"Huh?" Ji Minghuan raised his eyebrows and was stunned. After a while, he asked, "So, you arrested me and locked me up for more than a month just because of the nonsense of a person you have never met?"
"He has predicted many major events that would have a significant impact on the world, and each time the development of events was completely in line with his predictions," the mentor said slowly, "But... although he has helped us avoid many major disasters, we have never had direct contact with him. It is better to say that he has never given us this opportunity."
He paused and said, "Besides, after he told us about you, he disappeared from the face of the earth."
"There's no need to be so dishonest when you make up stories."
The mentor smiled disapprovingly. "In short, we have never seen him so far, and no one knows his background. He is like a ghost, just watching the world from afar. Even though the events he predicted were very serious, and even a country was razed to the ground, his tone in the letters was always so calm, as if he was narrating a trivial matter."
He paused: "But..."
"But?"
"But he was very serious when he mentioned you to us. He said that we must control you, otherwise there will be serious consequences."
Ji Minghuan's eyes darkened, and he hung his head and said dejectedly, "I understand. This man must have a grudge against me... Could he be the director of our welfare home? I have always liked to make trouble since I was a child. I watched with my own eyes as I tore up the director's hairline from his forehead to the top of his head. Oh no, now he has no hairline at all, only a boiled egg."
"It's a pity that your dean is just an ordinary person."
"If the prophet you mentioned appears again in the future, can you tell me?"
"Okay, if he does show up again, maybe I'll tell you."
"Okay," Ji Minghuan was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "By the way, didn't you tell me yesterday..." He knew in his heart that the tutor might break the appointment again.
"Yes, that's why I came here today." The instructor learned from yesterday's lesson and mentioned her by name this time. "In five minutes, Kong Youling will come here to see you. I will step aside for a while, and it will be just the two of you. You can talk about whatever you want without worrying about anyone."
"real?"
"Of course it's true." The instructor smiled calmly, "I'll leave now, you wait here."
After saying that, he stood up from his chair and walked out of the monitoring room. As his back was swallowed by the lowered isolation door, the rows of cold light tubes dimmed and the whole world fell into darkness.
