Pei Xiqing squeezed his hand, confirming that the energy wouldn't attack him before asking, "And then? How did it appear? What kind of energy is it?"
She remembered that the superpowers in this world were divided into control, attack, defense, blasting, and healing, which were three major categories. Each major category was further divided into different subcategories, but these three major categories were the general term for all superpowers.
Duan Xiaolin patiently explained, "Qiong Snake is a dual ability, and it's also a very dangerous ability. It's mainly divided into two types of abilities: one is energy absorption, and the other is a curse power, which is outside the category of the supernatural."
"...In what sense is this absorption?"
Pei Xiqing blinked.
She felt that 'absorbing' these two people was not that simple.
The man seemed to see through her inner thoughts and responded in a low voice: "It's what you think."
Pei Xiqing's cheeks flushed slightly. "Are you...directly stealing someone's supernatural power?"
"If you want," he replied.
"This is too... amazing." She opened her lips, "Then, wouldn't someone with this kind of ability be invincible without any effort?"
Duan Xiaolin did not deny it, but Pei Xiqing could tell from the expression on his face that people with this kind of superpower were not really as she had just said, able to stand at the pinnacle of the apocalypse without any pressure. The more powerful the superpower, the more side effects that she would definitely not expect.
As expected, his lower jaw confirmed her suspicion, "The price is that if you overuse the power of the curse, you will lose these two abilities forever."
"Overload? Loss of superpowers?"
What is this side effect.
The price to be paid is too high.
She didn't even dare to imagine what it would be like for someone with such supernatural powers to suddenly lose them after dominating the world for several years.
Especially since this is the end of the world.
When a person with such a powerful superpower loses it, the pressure of responsibilities that comes with it is so great that it is not an exaggeration to say that it can turn a person's hair white overnight.
Pei Xi took a long time to regain his composure and spoke again: "Under what circumstances would an overload situation occur?"
"The last time there was a zombie siege in City B," she thought about it and asked, "Will something happen in a place like that?"
The man said, "There are more than ten times as many zombies besieging the city as you saw last time."
Pei Xiqing felt a tightness in his chest just thinking about that scene, as if several huge rocks were pressing on him.
"It must have been very difficult for you then."
"It's all over."
"But people with special abilities definitely have to bear more responsibilities than those of us without special abilities."
"It was normal in the early days of the apocalypse," he recounted calmly. "Ten years ago, every awakened psychic had to face countless zombies. Back then, the number of infected people reached new highs every day. It was a severe challenge with no way out for all of humanity. But now, things have balanced out somewhat. Most psychics retain some of their abilities, so they don't overload and harm their bodies."
"How did Brother Duan know that this ability would disappear after excessive consumption?"
The more Pei Xiqing spoke, the more he felt something was wrong, and he gradually began to suspect something in his heart.
Doesn’t this match Duan Xiaolin’s experience?
She hesitated for half a second, then asked directly: "Is this ability the one you lost before?"
Duan Xiaolin was silent.
Then he said, "Yes."
Pei Xiqing's eyes widened.
Even though she had some guesses, she still felt an indescribable feeling in her heart when she heard him admit it with her own ears.
It turns out that his supernatural power disappeared like this...
Pei Xiqing held his hand. "What should I do then... How could I have your superpower? I feel like something's wrong. Besides, I've never had any superpowers, and I'm destined never to have them. Could it be that your superpowers have returned, and are just temporarily staying in my body?"
"Are you planning to give it back to me?"
"The property has been returned to its owner..." she said with her head lowered.
Duan Xiaolin smiled and said, "I can't get it back."
"real?"
