Chapter 281
The first imprinted heart Lun Shengxi received in his life came from his mother.
The conflict between people with special abilities and ordinary people became more and more intense. People kept coming to their door with sarcastic remarks, throwing rotten fruits and vegetables, and even threatening to attack them.
The mother always tolerates, retreats, endures silently, and does not conflict with anyone, as if this can maintain a false peace.
But peace has never existed, so how can it be false?
Lun Shengxi grew up amid such insults.
"Why? Aren't all psychics very powerful?"
Lun Shengxi was still young and had no way of understanding the rules of the world. People with special abilities could not do normal jobs like ordinary people. His mother was so busy running around to raise him that she neglected to take care of and educate him. Lun Shengxi saw many things on TV.
When his mother heard his innocent question, she could only force a smile at him.
"Not every person with superpowers is very powerful. I, your mom, am at most an ordinary person with superpowers."
This was the first time that Lun Shengxi understood the relative strength and weakness.
As Lun Shengxi also showed his supernatural talent, the neighbors could no longer tolerate the mother and son, and his mother had to take him away.
He had asked where his father, whom he had never met, was, but his mother just shook her head and refused to say anything.
Even if her mother didn't say it, Lun Shengxi could guess that her father was most likely an ordinary person who chose to abandon her and herself because of fear or other reasons.
When he was sixteen years old, his mother finally fell ill from years of hard work.
At this time, the Shu Nian Sheng incident broke out, and the conflict between people with special abilities and ordinary people reached its peak. Even regular hospitals were unwilling to admit my mother. Only some small clinics that cheated people out of money prescribed useless medicines for her, which only aggravated her condition.
In the end, he could only take his mother back to the old and dilapidated rental house...
Waiting to die.
"Xiao Xi..."
"Mother..."
To be honest, Lun Shengxi didn't actually feel any sadness.
They are psychics without powerful abilities, they have no power, no influence and no money. This twisted world has no room for tiny ants like them.
Lun Shengxi had seen this day since the day he was old enough to understand.
The only thing he couldn't understand was why his mother insisted on raising him, creating the best conditions for him, and even finding a way to hide his identity as a superpower and send him to school.
"Don't feel sad for me...Xiaoxi..." Mother stretched out a hand, inserted it into his hair, and stroked it gently.
She also knew that she couldn't hold on any longer, and Lun Shengxi was everything to her.
Lun Shengxi remained silent, just holding his mother's other hand, as if silently trying to keep her.
"Study hard and live a good life in the future. I'm sorry... your mother can't accompany you any longer."
Although his inner turmoil was not intense, Lun Shengxi still tried his best to do the best that a son could do.
My mother closed her eyes forever late one night.
A dull, obsidian-textured pebble appeared in Lun Shengxi's palm.
Lun Shengxi was a little confused and didn't know what it was, but when he unknowingly input his special ability into it, the pebbles began to emit a warm light.
He recognized that this was his mother's useless supernatural power - [Light].
Lun Shengxi looked at his lifeless mother. Her face was pale and her body was thin. The torture of illness was so cruel.
According to normal procedures, he should report to the community and send his mother to the crematorium to prevent her from becoming a living dead.
The boy clenched the light in his hands and finally gained a purer understanding of the meaning of loss.
The pebbles were still glowing, and Lun Shengxi just knelt in front of his mother, motionless.
He didn't know where to go in the future. In such a terrible world, his mother passed away and he was the next.
As for studying hard and finding a job to kill time, the school actually discovered the fact that he had superpowers half a year ago and kicked him out.
Soon, the light of the pebbles dimmed until it was completely extinguished, because Lun Shengxi's special abilities were also completely exhausted.
But as the supernatural power was restored, the pebbles continued to glow.
Lun Shengxi thought that dying at the hands of his mother might not be a bad thing.
But three days passed and there was no sign that my mother had turned into a living dead. The only difference was the pebbles that flickered alternately.
Why...didn't my mother turn into a living dead?
Lun Shengxi didn't know what the pebble that appeared in his hand after his mother died was, but for the first time he became interested in something.
Is it because of this supernatural stone?
Before Lun Shengxi could figure out what was going on, someone was knocking frantically on the wooden door.
"Open the door! Damn bitch! Open the door! Are you dead?"
They were people from the community. They knew that my mother was seriously ill, so they would come to check on her every three days so that they could send the body to be cremated as soon as possible.
Lun Shengxi's thoughts were completely disrupted, and he looked at his mother who had passed away three days ago.
If my mother wasn't going to turn into a living dead, there would be no need to cremate her!
——
"Name, gender, age, date of birth."
"......"
"Boy, you'd better tell the truth. It is illegal to hinder community workers from enforcing the law!"
"...Lun Shengxi, male, sixteen..."
Lun Shengxi still failed to prevent his mother from being cremated, and the pebble was even confiscated by the police.
After the interrogation, the maximum detention period under normal circumstances is fifteen days.
But the final decision was to take him to court.
If the crime is found guilty, the sentence could range from seven months to three years.
Lun Shengxi didn't say a word during the whole process, and even his lawyer was sent by the government.
In the detention center, you can watch TV for a while after lunch and dinner, mostly news channels.
"According to the information revealed by the prosecution, there is already decisive evidence in the case of Shu Niansheng! I wonder if it will have an impact on the upcoming trial!"
...Lun Shengxi stared at the TV blankly.
Shu Niansheng...Lun Shengxi didn't care whether he really planned the attack.
He knew that Shu Niansheng would definitely be found guilty.
It's simple, because he is also a mutant.
Lun Shengxi was suddenly released before the trial date for his case of obstructing law enforcement.
No one answered his questions, and for a moment Lun Shengxi thought that his release was an accident and that the people in the detention center had made a mistake.
Until he saw more people with special abilities being released.
"Shuniansheng is dead, and the superpowers are protesting. In order to ease their anger, they dare not deliberately detain us anymore."
Finally someone answered.
......
It turns out that people with special abilities know how to resist?
He thought that everyone was like his mother, submissive.
"What about you? What are you going to do? You are also a superpower, right? Are you going to find an organization to make a living?"
The people traveling with him advised.
Lun Shengxi shook his head.
He also wanted to look for the pebbles that the police had thrown away as garbage.
The ashes were most likely scattered into the sea. That was the only thing left of my mother.
——
"This engraved heart seems to be very important to you."
"Hmm? Don't you think it's a good lighting tool?"
The man with the bloody mask threw down the glowing pebble, seemingly not caring at all.
Fu Si took a closer look. That was the lowest level Imprinted Heart. There was no telling how many of the same type he could find, not to mention that other glowing Imprinted Hearts might be able to provide some buffs.
But this was not the first time that Fu Si saw Lun Shengxi take out this pebble and play with it. This engraved heart must have some meaning to him.
Lun Shengxi noticed Fu Si's thoughtful expression, but he just smiled and didn't care at all.
"Tell me, boss. What orders did you bring?"
"The boss asked what you've been doing lately."
Lun Shengxi raised an eyebrow, "It's just research, what else can you do?"
Fu Si thought so too.
"The boss said that the next target has been decided and asked me to partner with you."
"Oh? What about Jian Sakaki?"
"His performance has been a bit bad recently. The boss told him to go back and gain some experience before coming back."
Fu Si actually wanted to defend Jian Sakaki Yin. It was not that he was too weak, but that the enemy was too strong. However, he just couldn't win the fight, so in the end he could only watch Jian Sakaki Yin being 'returned to the factory for repairs'.
"I've already told you that you don't need to take the ceremony too seriously. The boss is really disappointed."
"Yes, but not entirely. Jian Sakaki Yin really needs to change his personality."
Fu Si and Jian Sakaki Yin were not partners from the beginning. Although Fu Si could understand it, not everyone could tolerate his personality.
Especially after the incident of turning into a dog.
Lun Shengxi seemed to have thought of that as well and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Haven't you found that guy yet?"
"...I have some clues, but it doesn't matter now."
Jian Sakaki Yin was clamoring to make others pay the price, but Fu Si felt that even if he met him again, Jian Sakaki Yin would still be the unlucky one.
In a sense, he got the truth.
Lun Shengxi looked at the target information that Fu Si handed over.
"This guy...I remember he said he wanted to participate in this main department election."
"Yes."
Although Oue has done this more than once or twice, he has been stepping on the bottom line of society and doing bad things almost every time.
This time, Oue may have to be labeled as interfering with electoral freedom.
"Okay, you decide the plan and time, I will fully cooperate."
Lun Shengxi didn't care about the life or death of the target. Since he was an official of Oue, he would just take the money and do the job. It wouldn't affect his experiment much.
"Okay, I'll send you the plan later, and..."
The sound suddenly stopped, and Lun Shengxi also noticed something.
"Oh? That's interesting."
It was obvious that an uninvited guest had broken in.
It was not difficult to guess who the people who came were. Lun Shengxi was surprised that they could find him so quickly.
That's amazing. When did he do that? The crow is consumable. How did he get to him?
Lun Shengxi was quite interested.
"Do you need help?"
Although Fu Si is not a combat-type psychic, he can still help a lot.
"No need. If you insist on saying it, it's the trouble I caused."
Lun Shengxi shook his head with a relaxed expression, as if it didn't cause him much trouble.
Fu Si nodded in understanding. The trouble that Lun Shengxi had caused meant that there was someone with supernatural powers that he was very interested in. It seemed that the person would soon become one of his collections.
"Okay, I'll leave first then."
