Chapter 39 From then on, she could no longer have beautiful dreams
The appearance of Li Chengfeng pointed out a new direction for the three people's investigation.
"Isn't Ming Ruoxiang a student of this school? I should be able to find classmates who knew her back then. Go ask her classmates, maybe there will be new discoveries."
Li Pingan widened his eyes and asked curiously, "Uncle, how do you know that the girl in red is called Ming Ruoxiang?"
Li Chengfeng smiled mysteriously: "Don't underestimate the role of the cafeteria chef." He pointed to the ground below, "This is the center of the entire school intelligence network."
After all, all the teachers and students in the school have to eat in the cafeteria every day, and it is inevitable that they will chat about gossip and family matters while eating.
Sometimes, canteen chefs accidentally learn a lot of confidential information.
As soon as Li Chengfeng briefly described Ming Ruoxiang's characteristics, an enthusiastic cafeteria lady immediately recalled her story.
"Oh, there was a little girl who liked to wear red dresses. Her superpower was to make up dreams. She was quite famous in school back then, and the media even came to the school to interview her." The cafeteria lady pointed to the second to last row in the corner of the cafeteria, "I remember she liked to sit by the window over there when she ate."
"You remember all this? Do you remember all the students in the school?" Li Ping'an opened his mouth wide, feeling impressed.
The cafeteria lady said proudly: "Oh, that's nothing. Not only can I remember the appearance of all the students, I also know your preferences. For example, you don't like to eat vegetables, right?"
Li Pingan: ┃xueke┃ …
She pointed at Qi Yu and said, "You, are you a bit of a clean freak or obsessive-compulsive? Because I've noticed that you always wipe the table and chairs carefully, and you won't start eating unless you have two chopsticks of the same length."
Qi Yu turned his face away uncomfortably.
Zhang Dongyang approached the lady in the cafeteria with a curious look on his face: "What about me? What about me?"
"You?" The lady in the cafeteria glanced at him. "Your father is the director of the Supernatural Administration Bureau. Everyone in the school knows it. When you were in kindergarten, didn't you write an essay called 'My Father, the Director'? It caused a sensation in the entire cafeteria."
Hearing that Zhang Dongyang had written about his father in his composition, Li Pingan looked over in surprise.
She thought Zhang Dongyang was very afraid of his father, but in fact he still wanted to get his father's approval.
Feeling the burning gazes from the crowd, Zhang Dongyang blushed, scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "Is it really that sensational? Actually, I just wrote that essay casually."
The lady in the cafeteria shook her head and sighed, "Of course it caused a sensation. It's rare to see such a son who betrays his father these days."
Zhang Dongyang: …
Li Pingan poked his arm and asked quietly, "What on earth did you write in your composition?"
Zhang Dongyang quickly changed the subject: "Um, um, Auntie, do you know if Ming Ruoxiang has any good classmates?"
Good classmates?
The cafeteria lady thought about it and slapped her thigh, "It really is true!"
"I remember now. I remember that she often ate with another little girl. That little girl was from junior high school. She even came to my window to get food at noon today."
"Oh, that's great!" Li Pingan said in surprise.
Now we finally have a new clue.
Relying on the cafeteria aunt's super memory, Li Pingan and the other two successfully obtained Ming Ruoxiang's class information.
The investigation had a new breakthrough, and Li Pingan happily said to the cafeteria auntie: "Thank you, sister!"
The lady working in the cafeteria was stunned and a smile spread across her face.
"Oh, you little girl, you are so sweet. I am already 48 years old, why do you still call me sister?"
Before leaving, she whispered to Li Pingan, "Next time you come to my window, I'll give you an extra spoonful of meat."
Looking at the figure of the auntie going away, Li Pingan sighed: "I didn't expect the cafeteria auntie to be so powerful."
Li Chengfeng touched her head and said, "So, don't underestimate any profession. Everyone shines in their own field."
Li Pingan nodded, thoughtfully.
After leaving the cafeteria, the three of them headed straight for the junior high school department of the Extraordinary Children's Academy.
In the junior high school, they met the girl that the cafeteria lady mentioned who was often with Ming Ruoxiang.
Li Pingan stepped forward and said, "Hello, senior sister. I am Li Pingan from Class 1, Grade 1. We have something we would like to ask you, is that ok?"
The girl with short hair and white uniform turned around and saw the three little kids in front of her. She smiled and said, "Hey, you are the kids from the elementary school. What do you want to talk to me about?"
Li Pingan got straight to the point and said, "Senior, we want to know something about Ming Ruoxiang."
When she heard Ming Ruoxiang's name, the girl's smile faded, "Why are you asking her?"
Qi Yu said, "It's like this, senior sister. This week the teacher assigned a homework assignment about the research of psychic supernatural powers. We found out online that senior sister Ming Ruoxiang's power is psychic, but now we can't find her, so I wanted to come to you to ask about her situation."
"So that's how it is." The girl sighed, "Then you'll probably be disappointed. Ruoxiang was taken away by the correctional institution three years ago."
"What? She passed away three years ago?"
"What happened to her?"
"Why was she taken away to the correctional institution?"
"What happened to her?"
“…”
Li Pingan and the other two asked questions one after another. The girl was a little overwhelmed and raised her hand to signal them to stop asking questions: "I will answer your questions one by one."
She sorted out her thoughts and slowly said, "Three years ago, Ruoxiang was taken away to the correction center for treatment because of a problem with her ability fluctuation value. Since you can find her information on the Internet, you must have known what her ability is, right?"
Li Pingan nodded, "It is the ability to help people weave beautiful dreams and heal their pain."
The girl raised her hand and tucked her short hair behind her ear. She sighed and said, "Most people only know that she has healing powers, but they don't know that her healing powers come at a price. The price is that while healing others, the dreamer needs to experience the pain that others have experienced in the dream."
Li Ping'an exclaimed, "Ah!" She didn't expect that Ming Ruoxiang would have to bear such a price while healing others.
Those who came to seek medical treatment were all people who had been suffering from illness for many years. This was really too much for an underage girl.
Qi Yu asked: "So she saved too many people, which led to too much negative emotions and too much mental pressure, causing the fluctuation value of her supernatural power to exceed the limit?"
The girl shook her head and said, "I know you would think so, but that's not the case."
"Although making beautiful dreams for others also requires experiencing the pain of others, for a healing extraordinary person, what could be more gratifying than seeing patients recover and hearing their words of gratitude?"
"So although Ruoxiang is in pain, she is not miserable, and she is actively receiving psychological counseling regularly, so she can effectively channel her negative emotions."
Zhang Dongyang asked in doubt: "Then why is her ability fluctuation value still exceeding the standard?"
The girl lowered her eyes to hide the sadness in them, and answered, "Most of the extraordinary people who enter the correctional institution are because they can't control their superpowers. The correctional institution is afraid that their superpowers will go out of control and hurt innocent people, so they take them away for treatment. But Ruoxiang is not like that. Ruoxiang took the initiative to ask for treatment because one day, she found that she couldn't use her superpowers anymore."
That is to say, one day, Ming Ruoxiang suddenly discovered that she had lost the ability to create sweet dreams for others. In order to restore her special abilities, she took the initiative to ask to enter the correction center for treatment.
But can a supernatural being lose his supernatural powers?
Li Pingan looked at Qi Yu in confusion.
Qi Yu shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of such a thing either."
The kindergarten teachers taught them to always pay attention to the fluctuation value of their supernatural powers and be careful not to exceed the limit.
He had only heard that a too low SAN value could lead to transformation into a White Walker, but had never heard that superpowers could disappear.
He asked, "Why did her ability suddenly disappear? Was it because of too much negative emotion?"
"At first we all thought that was the reason." The girl paused and then shook her head: "But then I found out that it wasn't the case."
"Ruoxiang's ability suddenly disappeared during the summer vacation when she entered the sixth grade of elementary school."
"They all thought that she had accumulated too many negative emotions, causing her supernatural powers to become uncontrollable."
"Only I know what's going on."
In the girl's soft voice, Li Pingan and the other two slowly pieced together Ming Ruoxiang's past.
Ming Ruoxiang was born with a supernatural power. Like Qi Yu, she was sent to a correctional institution by her parents as soon as she was born to receive control of her supernatural powers.
But she has a cheerful and optimistic personality. She gets along well with the staff in the correctional institution and is not averse to her parents who come to visit her occasionally. Instead, she is very close to them.
"Perhaps this is the blood bond that can never be severed." The girl sighed.
Li Ping'an secretly glanced at Qi Yu and thought to himself: Perhaps this is the difference between a healing superhuman and an attacking superhuman.
After the correctional institution assessed that Ming Ruoxiang's ability fluctuation value was stable and up to standard, her parents took her home to raise her.
As Ming Ruoxiang grows up, the uniqueness of her supernatural powers begins to show to everyone.
In order to attract traffic, the media hyped her up crazily, even exaggerating her supernatural powers to the point that they could keep people young forever.
Celebrities and wealthy businessmen lined up to come to her with stacks of cash, just to ask her to heal their pain.
At the beginning, her parents only received ten guests a day. Later, more and more people came to seek medical treatment, with all kinds of difficult and complicated diseases. Everyone wanted to survive. Various distant relatives from both sides of her parents, some of whom she had never heard of, also came to see them.
Her parents couldn't resist the favor, and they were reluctant to give up the huge amount of medical expenses, so Ming Ruoxiang had more and more dreams every day...
"Even so, that idiot was still very happy every day." The girl's voice became low, "Until that summer three years ago, she returned home and found that her parents had given birth to a younger brother."
This time, the child is not an extraordinary child, but an ordinary child.
It was the first time that Ming Ruoxiang saw such joy in her parents' eyes.
From that supreme joy, she vaguely felt a strange feeling in her heart, but it was immediately diluted by the novelty and surprise of the birth of a new life.
She was still very happy that she had a younger brother.
The turning point happened one night.
Early that morning, for some unknown reason, my younger brother suddenly started crying non-stop and I couldn't stop crying.
The mother anxiously woke Ming Ruoxiang from her sleep and asked her to use her special powers to create a good dream for her brother.
Her mind and eyes were filled with her young, crying son, but she didn't notice the fatigue in her daughter's eyes as she lay in bed, unable to get up.
Ming Ruoxiang was too tired. She had to make up beautiful dreams for different people day and night, so she could only have a moment of peace in her short sleep every day.
She endured the splitting headache, obeyed her parents' request, and entered her brother's dream.
She wanted to make up a sweet dream full of milk and toys for her brother so that he could fall asleep peacefully.
But soon, she discovered the problem.
This time, no matter how she used her special powers, she couldn't create a beautiful dream.
When she woke up from her dream, she was slapped in the face by her father. They looked at her with accusing eyes, accusing her of deliberately not wanting her brother to sleep well.
The moment Ming Ruoxiang fell to the ground, she finally understood what that strange feeling that had been lingering in her heart was.
It turns out that what she had been receiving all along was not unconditional love.
It turned out that she was a child who was not expected by her parents.
From then on, Ming Ruoxiang could no longer have sweet dreams.
