After returning home, Mou Xuan couldn't wait to experience the feeling of controlling time again.
He stood in the middle of the living room, took a deep breath, slowly raised his right hand, and imitated what he had done before, concentrating his energy and trying to travel to one minute later.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
Time passed by minute by minute, however, nothing happened.
His body just swayed slightly, as if he was drunk and was a little unsteady.
"Fuck! What's going on?" Mou Xuan cursed in his heart, his face full of confusion.
He clearly did it according to the previous method, why didn't it work this time?
Is it because of the wrong posture?
Or...
His powers disappeared?
As soon as this thought appeared, it spread quickly like a virus, making him feel panic.
The room was silent, with only the ticking sound of the wall clock, as if mocking his incompetence.
Mou Xuan scratched his hair in annoyance, paced back and forth, and tried hard to recall every detail of the previous successful triggering of his supernatural powers.
He was standing under the tree, looking up at the branch... Was it because of the height?
That’s not right. Later he succeeded on the ground as well.
That’s because… of the crowd?
That’s not right. I succeeded once at home.
What is the reason?
Mou Xuan frowned, puzzled.
He felt that his supernatural powers were like a naughty child, unpredictable and completely out of his control.
The surrounding furniture and the once familiar furnishings now seemed a bit of an eyesore.
He felt like he was trapped in a confined space and it was difficult for him to breathe.
"No, I have to try again!" Mou Xuan gritted his teeth and raised his right hand again...
Mou Xuan tried again, and this time he felt himself being pulled by a powerful force, but not in the direction he expected.
He appeared in a corner and his body slammed into the cabinet, scraping his arm and causing a sharp pain that almost made him scream.
He widened his eyes and looked at his bleeding arm, and a feeling of powerlessness surged in his heart.
The air around him seemed to become even colder, making him feel a chill.
He felt that his superpowers were like a wild horse, completely out of control, which made him extremely pessimistic.
Just then, there was a knock on the door from Aunt Wang, the sound was so sharp that it was annoying.
"Mou Xuan, Mou Xuan, are you home? Open the door quickly!" Aunt Wang shouted outside at the top of her lungs, as if something big had happened.
Mou Xuan was already upset and didn't want to pay attention, but Aunt Wang kept knocking, so he had no choice but to walk to the door and pull it open.
As soon as Aunt Wang saw Mou Xuan, she immediately frowned and her eyes fell on his injured arm.
"Oh, Mou Xuan, what happened to you? Your arm is bleeding!" There was a hint of concern in her voice, but more of it was gossipy curiosity.
Mou Xuan responded impatiently: "It's okay, I just accidentally scraped my skin. What do you want from me?" There was obvious displeasure in his tone.
Seeing that he had a bad attitude, Aunt Wang's face changed immediately. She put her hands on her hips, glared and said, "How can you be so ignorant, young man? You are so impatient when I care about you? Tell me, what on earth are you doing?" The corridor outside the door was filled with a tense atmosphere. The voices of the two people echoed in the silent corridor, as if to attract the attention of the entire community.
Mou Xuan frowned and felt uneasy.
At this moment, he suddenly had an idea, and a thought in his mind suddenly became clear, as if he had found the key to solving the problem.
"Aunt Wang, don't be anxious, listen to me..." Mou Xuan stopped talking abruptly, leaving a meaningful look, turned and walked into the room.
Mou Xuan looked at Aunt Wang's face which was twisted with shock, a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and a sense of evil taste surged in his heart.
He deliberately lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "Auntie Wang, don't you want to know what I'm doing? Now I'll let you see it!"
Before he finished speaking, Mou Xuan closed his eyes slightly, concentrated all his mental strength, and tried to travel through time and space again.
This time, he no longer felt his body being pulled randomly like before, but instead felt as if he was in a huge vortex, and everything around him became blurry.
With a "swish" sound, in front of Aunt Wang's horrified eyes, Mou Xuan's figure disappeared like a ghost. The next second, he appeared strangely in another corner of the living room, with a funny posture, as if he was thrown over by someone.
"Ah——!" Aunt Wang let out a scream that echoed throughout the corridor. The sound was so shrill, as if she had encountered a ghost.
Her already big eyes widened so wide that their eyeballs almost popped out, and her wrinkled face turned pale with fright. Her body involuntarily stepped back, as if Mou Xuan was some kind of monster.
"Hahaha!" Mou Xuan looked at Aunt Wang's frightened expression and felt secretly happy. He was even more excited than getting equipment exploded while playing games.
He stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, feeling that he had finally found the trick to controlling his super powers. As long as he had a strong desire in his heart, he could successfully activate his super powers. This feeling was simply too good to be true!
"How is it? Aunt Wang, are you satisfied with my 'magic'?" Mou Xuan crossed his arms, leaned against the wall, and said in a provocative tone.
"Ghost, ghost! There is a ghost!" Aunt Wang shouted incoherently and crawled away from the door of Mou Xuan's house. Her back looked as miserable as if she was being chased by zombies.
Mou Xuan looked at her fleeing back, and his smile gradually faded.
He closed the door and sat alone on the sofa, holding his head in his hands, his heart full of contradictions.
The success just now did make him feel a little excited and hopeful, but the instability of his supernatural powers also made him deeply worried.
He is like a child holding a bomb, eager for the excitement it brings but also afraid that it may explode at any time.
This feeling of uncertainty made him feel very uneasy.
The room was eerily quiet, with only his rapid breathing echoing in the air, sounding particularly harsh.
"No, I must figure out what this supernatural power is." Mou Xuan slowly stood up, walked to the window, looked at the bustling streets outside, and gradually an idea came to his mind.
"Maybe Dr. Zhang can help me solve some of my doubts." He murmured to himself, with a hint of hesitation on his face, but more of anticipation.
He took a deep breath, turned and walked towards the door, leaving the room with a back full of unknowns.
Mou Xuan walked out of the house and went straight to the hospital. His steps were a little heavy.
