Chapter 12: Confession Bureau This is the best of times, and the worst of times...
"Can you wait for me to take a shower and eat first? My meal is probably getting cold." Jiang Huai looked up and said without knowing the atmosphere the next second after Wei Zhehan pressed him on the seat.
Then he frowned and shook off the white powder on his clothes.
"Can you wait for me to wash my clothes first? If I don't wash my clothes, I won't have anything to wear." Seeing this, Li Ming immediately plucked up the courage and raised his hand weakly to ask.
"Also let me inform the junior students I know about the situation first."
Zhou Haoyu pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and took out his phone to type. His actions and words combined to express a message that sounded more like a notification than a request for opinion.
So Wei Zhehan snatched the other person's phone with an expressionless face.
“You must give me an explanation today!” Wei Zhehan shouted unreasonably, “Why am I the only one who knows nothing? Why am I the only one without superpowers? Are you isolating me?!”
"Tell me, do you want to isolate me!!!"
Li Ming immediately retracted his raised right hand in disappointment.
He had an inexplicable feeling that if Wei Zhehan hadn't still cared about his adult status, he would have been lying on the ground, cursing and rolling around...
"Actually, I don't know why I have superpowers." Jiang Huai looked around blankly and replied with his head tilted, "Maybe it's because if I don't awaken my superpowers, I'll die."
Li Ming: ...
You really don't know how to hide or fabricate anything.
He pulled the corners of his stiff mouth again with a blank look in his eyes, and for a moment he just wanted to empty his mind.
"Xiao Wei, I have to seriously criticize you on this point."
Zhou Haoyu couldn't help but frown. He refuted the other party's accusation in a stern tone: "Why do you dare to unilaterally accuse everyone of having superpowers? Obviously, the rest of the people didn't say anything, is it really okay to arbitrarily classify all the people who went out into one category? Talking nonsense will only make ￥#%..."
"Ouch..." Wei Zhehan covered his ears in pain.
The dormitory head's words became more and more intense, while the momentum of the left-behind children in the dormitory opposite him became weaker and weaker.
Li Ming watched all this and secretly applauded Zhou Haoyu: He is indeed the dormitory leader, his aura is as intimidating as ever! At this rate, I will be able to do my laundry soon~
"After all, if you ask me, we are probably the only two people here who don't have super powers." Zhou Haoyu glanced at Li Ming dejectedly and interrupted.
Li Ming, who was still applauding the dormitory head in his heart:...Huh?
In an instant, the eyes of the three people in the dormitory were focused on him. Li Ming, who was caught off guard by the current development, blinked in confusion.
"Me? Me? Why did the topic turn to me?" He pointed at himself and pretended to be stupid, pretending to be calm.
Jiang Huai stared blankly into space. He seemed to be recalling something, or thinking about something. He had been in this state for a long time. Li Ming guessed that he was trying to escape from reality through this action.
Wei Zhehan suddenly turned his head to look at Li Ming. His face was constantly changing with disbelief, shock, and astonishment. After realizing that the dormitory head did not lie to him, the astonishment turned into anger in an instant.
He walked towards Li Ming step by step.
"I actually don't know either, haha..." Li Ming laughed dryly, raised his hands to his chest, and stepped back step by step. However, the space for retreat was soon used up by him.
Wei Zhehan pinned him against the dormitory wall with one hand.
"Li Ming, you betrayed me."
Wei Zhehan, who was extremely dissatisfied, said in a gloomy tone.
"We are all adults now, so there is no such thing as betrayal." Li Ming tried to avoid the social death scene and replied with a weak smile:
“Even I don’t understand what happened to me…”
Oh my god, dormitory head. You are the real devil. I never thought of abandoning you, but you just threw Xiao Wei to me?
Wei Zhehan was instantly shocked when he heard this.
Intense curiosity and an unprecedented desire to win repeatedly fought in his mind, but in the end curiosity won out over the desire to win. This boy who loved playing video games and fantasizing lowered his head and asked:
"What's your superpower?"
“…”
Li Ming could imagine the other person's bright eyes from his tone that couldn't hide his excitement without looking up.
The thought of confessing suddenly danced on the tip of his tongue.
But in reality, Li Ming could only murmur hesitantly and sadly: "I don't know... maybe it's inspiration or something..."
He was uncomfortable pointing the other person in the wrong direction.
“Ah~”
Wei Zhehan excitedly uttered incomprehensible syllables. He couldn't hide his excitement and babbled: "I didn't expect superpowers to be real. It turns out that superpowers really exist in the world! Damn, I want superpowers too..."
"No, no, I can't just think about the good side. Jiang Huai said there are monsters. There are monsters in the school!"
Wei Zhehan slapped his cheeks with both hands, trying to force himself to calm down, but unfortunately his words soon went astray.
"This is too magical! But it's time for the protagonist to appear!"
Wei Zhehan patted his chest and said confidently.
Li Ming listened to his nonsense helplessly. He looked up at the two people behind Xiao Wei: one of them put on his pajamas and went to the bathroom to take a shower, and the other one sat in Wei Zhehan's seat with a frank look, holding his mobile phone that had just been taken away, and was messaging with his junior.
Li Ming: ...Uh.
Love has sacrificed me, right?
"Li Ming, hurry up! Let me hear what you have gained today!" Wei Zhehan suddenly shook Li Ming's shoulders and shouted loudly.
"Wait, Xiao Wei..." Li Ming answered in a dizzy and intermittent manner, "Shouldn't you ask Jiang Huai first...his experience is obviously more tortuous than mine..."
Simply describing it as 'twists and turns' is already a very euphemistic way of describing it.
"Oh, yes!" Wei Zhehan's eyes lit up after hearing this. He turned his head quickly, and his eyes overlapped with Jiang Huai's as he stuck his head out to close the bathroom door.
The two people looked at each other in surprise.
"Um, let's talk after I take a shower." Jiang Huai said perfunctorily with messy hair. Then he glanced at Li Ming who was diverting the trouble and quickly closed the door.
So Wei Zhehan looked expressionlessly at the dormitory head who was typing quickly.
"Wait a moment, I'll be done soon." Zhou Haoyu replied while urging Li Ming, "Li Ming, go wash your clothes too. We have to finish our work before lights out."
The dormitory lights are turned off at 11 o'clock.
Li Ming suddenly recalled it. It was just that because the dormitory auntie had never enforced this matter, he didn't pay much attention to it. After all, how should I put it, the atmosphere in his dormitory was quite harmonious...
He also never had trouble turning off the lights.
When Li Ming thought of this, his heart suddenly warmed up. Although Xiao Wei was easily arrogant and noisy, he was a soft persimmon who would fall to the ground if squeezed, and he would also know how to leave a way out for others.
So he turned and looked at Wei Zhehan.
Wei Zhehan was standing beside him with a puffed face, gnashing his teeth angrily. His whole face was filled with the expression "I'm so angry, I'm really angry" and other such words to vent his emotions.
But he still chose to stand there unwillingly.
After a brief, intense and extreme emotional catharsis, even Wei Zhehan himself understood that he shouldn't act rashly at this time, but he was still angry and chose to sulk.
"Pfft..." Li Ming couldn't help but laugh out loud.
He patted Wei Zhehan's shoulder in a friendly manner and whispered in his ear, "Let Jiang Huai tell you first. His experience is definitely much more exciting than mine and the dorm leader's."
After all, he is the most orthodox protagonist of the comics~
Li Ming curved his eyes and comforted the other person with a smile. Then he walked past the two people in the dormitory and went to his dirty clothes. Jiang Huai was taking a shower, and now the only choice he had was the sink on the balcony.
After all three of you have finished your work, share today’s experience with Xiao Wei.
Li Ming hummed softly in a happy mood.
Now he finally has time to think about what happened today, and the most important thing is:
What is his superpower?
Li Ming's hand, which was rubbing the corner of his clothes, suddenly stopped. To be honest, he hadn't even thought about this before he saw Jiang Huai's prompt panel...
At first, he always thought it was a function attached to the comics forum.
But after Jiang Huai demonstrated his superpowers, he clearly realized that the forum and the tips were definitely not part of the same system. After all, how could someone send you duplicate information after unblocking the forum?
But what exactly is the prompt?
Li Ming couldn't help but frown. He recalled what happened to him today: when he encountered a disaster, a prompt would appear directly, but when he encountered Jiang Huai, a prompt would appear only after Jiang Huai activated his talent.
This may be due to the difference between disasters and humans.
So it's identification? Or some other superpower?
Wait, if a prompt appears when a human activates his superpower, then can he see the prompt on his own panel when he activates his superpower?
The more Li Ming thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was feasible, but the question that came up was:
How can he see himself using his super powers?
“Hmm…”
Li Ming frowned, and his thoughts were once again deadlocked.
He quietly took the clothes drying pole and hung them one by one on the balcony. Then he slowly put his rolled-up sleeves back to their original shape.
What if there is something like a mirror that can reflect your appearance?
Li Ming wiped the water off his hands on his shirt as he walked into the dormitory. The moment he opened the balcony door, he saw Jiang Huai coming out wiping his hair.
The usually silent roommate shouted to him:
"Li Ming, do you want to take a shower too?"
Li Ming then realized that he had also sweated a lot today. He first looked around and saw Wei Zhehan, who was just in a bad mood, sitting next to Zhou Haoyu, listening to Zhou Haoyu's story of what happened today with shining eyes.
The dormitory head is very good at coaxing children.
Li Ming smiled helplessly, and then he replied to Jiang Huai in a brisk tone: "Okay, then I'll go get ready."
Just when I come out, I can hear about Jiang Huai’s experience today.
Li Ming happily took his change of clothes and headed for the bathroom. Although he still had many things he didn't understand, today wasn't such a bad day.
But then again... when did he die...
This thought suddenly flashed through Li Ming's mind. This question was like a feather gently and briefly touching his heart, leaving a faint itch.
Forum readers said that he was a cannon fodder who died at the beginning, but does 'beginning' refer to today?
“Huahuahua…”
The water from the washbasin was flowing down.
Li Ming silently scooped up a handful of water to wash his cheeks. He felt a little tired, and his spirit was far from being as strong as he showed today.
He is just an ordinary person, an ordinary person who was caught off guard and learned about the forum, disaster and other magical futures.
"So, I'm pretty good."
Li Ming muttered to himself absentmindedly as he reviewed the series of actions he had taken after learning about the plot of the forum.
Exhausted physically and mentally, he finally had the energy to focus on what he should be concerned about. There happened to be a mirror covered by mist in the bathroom of their dormitory.
The mist was the trace left by Jiang Huai's shower just now.
He wiped the mirror and stared at himself in the mirror. The black-haired, black-eyed boy's face was filled with heavy fatigue and a little anxiety.
Although he kept comforting himself, Li Ming was still worried.
Can he really break the end of the world that has already happened? Can he really pass the academy copy and go to the south to see his sister? Li Ming is not confident about this.
But compared to these, what he noticed first was...
"It doesn't look useful."
Li Ming murmured with deep regret. But in a flash, he remembered that Jiang Huai's prompt panel only appeared after Jiang Huai took the initiative to activate his talent, so what about his?
He closed his eyes and tried to activate his super powers.
The result was undoubtedly a failure.
"Forget it, forget it. I shouldn't have had such high expectations of myself."
Li Ming sighed deeply, feeling powerless.
As he lowered his head to wash his face, he reflected on his surprisingly naive thoughts: How could he really think of himself as the protagonist of a shonen manga? This manga was obviously a hellish manga...
Li Ming tried to convince himself, but his movements suddenly stopped. He looked at the beautiful colors reflected in the water and muttered absentmindedly:
"Why did your eyes change color?"
