Chapter 33 Chapter 33 (Catching Bugs) That was a work order...
It was a bracelet with workmanship that was familiar to everyone present, and it was strung with exquisite jade.
"This was made by Teacher Xiaoyue," Lu Ze fiddled with the bracelet, "The way this is closed is exactly the same as the bracelet she gave us before."
He went on to say: "When I woke up, this bracelet appeared in my pocket. I couldn't mistake it. This is what she left for me."
As Lu Ze spoke, his mood became depressed.
"I don't know why she left this thing for me, nor do I know how she is now. Everything about Teacher Xiaoyue is a mystery to me. The teacher is right. I am too weak."
Lu Ze was distressed by his weakness and by the fact that his once friendly teacher had become like a stranger. He wanted to see Xiao Yue again and he wanted to figure out everything.
"I want to become stronger." He held the bracelet firmly.
Asthe looked at him, her expression gradually becoming firmer. Bertram said nothing.
"Don't be so serious," Zhe interrupted them, "Let me first tell you about the last song you heard."
"Lu Ze is already a level 4 psychic. His singing voice can knock him down in three minutes. The mysterious man's psychic level must be above level 6. If you're unlucky, you might run into a high-level psychic."
"Is it so easy to encounter high-level psychics nowadays?" Aster couldn't help but complain.
Zhe smiled nonchalantly: "It's not that high-level psychics are easy to encounter, but the matter you are investigating may involve the struggle between high-level psychics."
"That's what I want to say. Before you make a decision, think about your family. Although I don't know what organization Lihua joined, judging from his style, that organization is not an upright one. If we continue to investigate, it may affect your family."
Luze and Asther looked as if they had suddenly realized something, but Bertram showed no reaction.
Because he had already thought of this, which was why he hesitated before.
"Will it not affect our families if we quit now?" Lu Ze asked sharply.
Zhe said bluntly: "When you guys were so hot-blooded and rushed forward, I had already dealt with this problem for you. Just keep investigating. I can't guarantee that my arrangements for them will always be useful."
Then he turned to Bertram and said, "Your situation is special, and your family does not need my protection. I only settled their families."
Bertram, who had been silent all this time, sighed, and under the gaze of everyone, he told them about his family situation.
In fact, after his relationship with Lu Ze and others gradually deepened, he had long wanted to tell them about his family situation, but there had never been a suitable opportunity.
He was born into a prominent aristocratic family. His father was the youngest son of the contemporary ruler and had been acting recklessly since childhood. He longs to become a superpower, but he doesn't have the talent.
So he placed this dream on the next generation.
After research and verification by countless scholars, most people in this world know a theorem, that is, superpowers have nothing to do with genetics, but appear according to a law that humans are not currently aware of.
Even if the parents do not have special powers, the next generation may still have them. Even if both parents have special powers, the next generation may not have them.
This theory gave his father ambition and hope. His father had many mistresses and had many children. He would not even look at the children without special powers, but would carefully bring up the children with special powers.
"No one will take revenge on my family to avenge me. The only family member who might be retaliated against is Berend." Bertram said calmly as if he was telling someone else's story.
"I want to go home and tell Berend the results of the investigation and this matter. This is what I agreed with him," said Bertram.
Lu Ze touched the back of his head as he recalled how after learning of Xiao Yue's death, Berend had used all available resources to conduct a frantic investigation. Asthe was obviously thinking the same thing, and her expression became subtle.
Zhe knocked on the table twice to attract the children's attention: "Everything should be done with a balance of tension and relaxation."
He said to Aster and Luze, "Your families are here now. Talk to them before making a decision."
"Once you have all made your choices, we can discuss the next step."
The conversation between the protagonist team ended here, and Luze and Aster met their families at the place arranged by Zhe. This plot is drawn as the beginning of the third volume and the end of the second volume.
The protagonists' families showed incredible openness. Holding the script in hand, Ren Xiaoyue could easily see that this plot was a foreshadowing for the subsequent revelation of Lu Ze and Asthe's family background.
While Luzer and Asther talk with their families and prepare to embark on a new journey, Bertram is absent.
After he returned home, he was entangled in family matters and couldn't get away. He had to stay at home temporarily to deal with family affairs.
It will catch up with you soon. Bertram promised them so.
"The butterfly's wings are about to create a hurricane."
When Ren Xiaoyue learned that the participants of this trip were Zhe, Lu Ze and Asthe, she couldn't help but sigh.
In the original plot, this journey was supposed to be a process in which the protagonists escaped from prison, hid everywhere, investigated the truth, and tried to clear their grievances. Zhe also has a role in this volume, but he did not join the journey. Instead, he served as an external aid, helping the protagonists in the investigation.
Now, under Ren Xiaoyue's disruption, the plot has completely changed. The purpose of the journey became for the protagonists to train themselves and strengthen their abilities in order to cope with subsequent investigations. The composition of the travel team also changed. Bertram was forced to leave the team due to family affairs, and Zhe joined the team directly.
As for Bertram's promise that "I will catch up with you soon", Ren Xiaoyue was not optimistic.
Bertram’s so-called family affairs are related to the turmoil in the royal family. This part of the plot is exactly the content of the next volume. Ren Xiaoyue doesn’t think that Bertram can solve his problems before Lu Ze experiences the plot of the next volume.
"Don't worry about Bertram. He might not appear in this volume," Ren Xiaoyue thought, holding her chin. "I'll just stay on Lu Ze's travel route. As the protagonist, events will always happen wherever he goes."
As she was thinking, Ren Xiaoyue suddenly remembered something funny.
"A quasi-high-level psychic has joined the travel team. How is Bai Ling going to get in?"
Ren Xiaoyue felt much happier when she thought that there were people who were worse off than her.
She stood up, pushed open the door of the hotel's single room, left her temporary residence, and walked towards the route Lu Ze and the others had taken.
-
Andymoa, an ordinary city. The biggest difference of this city is that it is backed by a vast forest of exotic beasts. Many supernatural materials are produced by this forest. These special materials are like golden syrup, nourishing the development of Andimoya. Andymoa, this city is both a paradise for some and a hell for others.
At least for Peter, this is his hell.
His sister Lillian was injured two days ago when she was involved in a gang fight, but they had no money for treatment.
Lillian had a high fever, but they didn't even have the money to buy antipyretics. Peter, desperate, came out of their residence to try his luck.
When a person can hardly even satisfy his basic needs of food and clothing, he will not consider his own moral issues. Peter stared at the passers-by stealthily, trying to find a suitable person to attack.
He needed money and he needed medicine.
There is a reason why Peter, who is thin and small and looks like he will fall down if pushed, dares to do this. As long as he concentrates, he can briefly see a person's future. This was an ability that he discovered accidentally and was unique to him.
This won’t work… this won’t work… this won’t work either…
One pedestrian after another passed by, and in Peter's future, he did not succeed with those people. After looking for a while, Peter's eyes felt a little sore. He knew what this meant. It meant that his superpowers were about to stop working. Realizing this, Peter couldn't help but feel a little impatient.
Peter began to reduce the frequency of using his superpowers. When he saw someone who did not look like a local or was obviously not on guard, he would concentrate and see if he could succeed.
When a woman with black hair, blue eyes, earrings and a teardrop mole under the corner of her eye, who did not look like a local, passed by Peter, Peter perked up and tried to look.
Strangely, he saw nothing.
It’s strange, I don’t feel like I’ve reached my limit. Peter rubbed his eyes in confusion, and when he put down his hand, the woman with black hair and blue eyes appeared in front of him like teleportation.
"You want to steal my money?" the woman looked down at him expressionlessly and asked abruptly.
Peter's mouth was half open, his eyes were wide open, and he was so frightened that he couldn't speak.
How did she know?
What happened next seemed like a dream to Peter. He did not admit to stealing the money, and the woman did not pursue the matter. The other party simply picked him up like a chicken, and regardless of his struggles, brought him all the way back to where he and his sister lived - the abandoned house.
How did she know? What does she want to do? When Peter was feeling uneasy, the woman squatted beside Lillian, observed her for a while, then turned to tell him that Lillian's high fever was not caused by wound infection, but by awakening her supernatural powers.
She said that people who have awakened powerful superpowers may encounter this problem, and if they cannot receive timely treatment, they are likely to die.
She said she had a cure, but it was conditional.
She says if you don’t believe me, I can wake her up temporarily.
She took Lillian's hand, and Lillian, who had been unconscious for half a day, miraculously woke up.
Peter thought he was invincible, but the moment he saw Lillian wake up, he realized that he had already burst into tears.
His sister woke up, his sister really woke up!
There was no doubt that Peter had no second choice. He immediately agreed to the mysterious woman's deal. Then, his sister changed.
Lillian was taken away and placed by a stranger. The woman touched the ear clip on her left ear and changed into the appearance of her sister.
"From now on, I am Lillian."
She said in a clear voice.
So, the woman whose name Peter didn't know became Lillian. To be honest, there are many people with superpowers in this place, and they have many messy methods. Peter was not shocked by the woman's magic trick of bringing a living person back to life.
What shocked him was that this person who looked so important could endure the dirty living conditions and simple food. She blended perfectly into the surrounding environment, like a real wanderer.
Is this also one of her abilities? Peter glanced cautiously over to where "Lillian" was sitting.
"Lillian" seemed to have eyes all over her body, and she raised her eyes and looked at him when Peter looked over.
"What's wrong, Peter?" She gave an innocent smile that would appear on Lillian's face.
Peter immediately withdrew his gaze, and then he felt guilty. Peter turned his head back, sat up straight and said, "The time is almost up. Do you need me to repeat the task you assigned to me?"
Lillian pondered for a moment and nodded.
