Chapter 236: Alienation, Superpower

"What the hell happened to me? What ears do you want to become? β
Scarlett looked in the mirror and touched her long, pointy ears, her pretty face full of panic. γChinese Network Debut. γ
Her ears didn't just appear abnormal today. As early as two days ago, things had already changed.
It's just that at the beginning, her upper auricle only slightly sharpened and lengthened, and the change was not so large that Scarlett herself didn't notice it. Even her mother didn't see anything unusual.
It wasn't until the next day, yesterday morning, when she got up to freshen up, that Scarlett suddenly realized that there was some strange change in her ears. When she was sure that her upper auricle had become sharper and longer than normal, she immediately panicked.
However, out of fear of being studied, she didn't make a noise, and she didn't even tell her mother. Instead, I spent a day and a night looking up information on the Internet. I want to see if there is a precedent for my abnormal situation.
But for a whole day and a night, she did not find any similar cases. I didn't get any helpful replies in the help posts posted on medical forums.
Later, she was ruthless, so she simply took a picture of her ears with her mobile phone and sent the picture to the forum for help - when she sent the picture, she also used a proxy IP, so as not to be found by someone with a heart.
As it turned out, her prudence was superfluous. Because there is simply no one on the Internet who believes that her ears are real. On the contrary, many netizens ridiculed her, saying that she was fascinated by reading fantasy novels and cosmed herself into an elf. Some people also say that there are fantasy fans in Europe and the United States who have plastic surgery to make themselves elves, so they believe that Scarlett has turned her ears into elf ears.
There are more serious fantasy fans who say that Scarlett failed plastic surgery, and the ears that came out were not real elf ears at all. True elven ears were much larger than hers, and she was half-elf at best. Then he also encouraged her not to give up on treatment, and to strive to become a real elf ear......
In short, after a full day of working online and an all-nighter, Scarlett only received countless ridicules, and did not find any useful information at all.
And this morning, Scarlett still hadn't slept. Still searching for information, but still finding nothing. Until noon, Scarlett, who had stayed up all night and all morning, and was tormented by worry and fear, finally fell asleep exhausted. However, even in her dreams, she was unable to sleep soundly, and was awakened by nightmares many times.
barely slept until more than six o'clock in the afternoon, Scarlett finally couldn't sleep anymore and dragged her tired body out of bed.
The first thing she did when she got up was to go to the dresser and look into her ears in the mirror, hoping for a miracle. However, the reality was cruel, and her ears were still the same as yesterday, pointed and long, and did not turn back to their original shape, as she had prayed.
At this time, Scarlett was shocked and scared, and she had accumulated a lot of pressure, but she didn't know who to share it with.
She thought of Li Qing and wanted to talk to Li Qing. But she was afraid that Li Qing would be frightened by her ears and treat her as a monster, which she couldn't accept no matter what.
Even if it was death, she would never want Li Qing to look at her in a strange light.
"What the hell is going to be like this? Am I suffering from some strange disease? Or was it inadvertently exposed to radiation, or was it a genetic mutation caused by eating food contaminated with chemicals? Oh my God, what should I do? β
I was in front of the mirror and was at a loss, and my mobile phone rang suddenly.
Hearing the caller chime that belonged to Li Qing, Scarlett's eyes lit up at first, as if the person who fell into the water had grasped a life-saving straw. But then her eyes darkened, and sadness appeared on her pretty face.
She hesitated for a moment before picking up the phone. pressed his finger on the screen of his phone, but he didn't dare to click to answer. She hesitated for a while, until she felt that the phone was about to ring, and then she bit her lip and answered it.
When Li Qing's voice came from the microphone, before Scarlett could speak, the pair of emerald blue eyes had already flashed with crystal tears.
In fact, Scarlett not only had changes in her ears, but also in her pupil color and hair color.
Her eyes were originally lake green, but now they were emerald green. The green is deeper and more intense, and it is more pure and clear than before.
Her hair color, originally blonde, was now white gold, and in the indoor light, it would faintly shimmer like moonlight.
However, she didn't notice the change in the color of her eyes. And although she noticed the change in hair color, it was not the point. Because the change in hair color is so easy to explain.
Only the change in the shape of the ears cannot be explained in any way, and it cannot be concealed in any way.
Even if she is like the king in the fairy tale "The King Has Rabbit Ears", no matter what time she wears a big hat and covers her ears tightly, sooner or later there will be a day when she will be exposed, and it will never be possible to really hide her ears seamlessly.
So when Scarlett answered the phone, heard Li Qing's voice, and thought that he might look at her ears with the eyes of a monster, her tears couldn't be stopped, and tears gradually accumulated in her eyes.
Li Qing is not clairvoyant, he can't realize Scarlett's current situation, and said with a smile on the phone: "I'm sorry, Scarlett, I have important things to deal with in the past two days, so I didn't call you......" He first apologized for not contacting Scarlett in the past two days, and then invited Scarlett to have dinner together, and hung up the phone after saying where to meet.
During this time, Scarlett just responded with a hmm-hmm, or said something like "it's okay, it's okay, it's okay", and didn't say a word in its entirety. Under her deliberate cover-up, Li Qing didn't hear her abnormality.
When Li Qing hung up the phone, Scarlett covered her mouth violently, tears streaming out of her eyes. Sobbing helplessly, Scarlett finally made up her mind. She wiped away her tears, changed her clothes, found a plush hat that she could only wear in winter, and put it on to cover her ears, and opened the bedroom door and walked out.
β¦β¦
Scarlett's mother, Mrs. Watson, was sitting in the living room, looking worriedly at Scarlett's door.
Since yesterday morning, my daughter has been locking the door of the house and has not come out for two days and one night. No matter what Mrs. Watson called the door, Scarlett just said a few perfunctory words, but she didn't open the door and come out.
During this time, Scarlett did not eat a single meal.
Mrs. Watson was worried. She began to think that her daughter was sick, but Scarlett's voice, although emotional, did not sound like she was sick. Later, Mrs. Watson thought that her daughter was out of love, and comforted and persuaded her through the door for a while. By the time Scarlett repeatedly explained that it wasn't because of a broken love, Mrs. Watson was confused.
It's not a sickness, it's not a broken love, so why lock yourself in the bedroom and don't come out for two days and one night? Still not even eating?
Mrs. Watson was worried, and had secretly decided that if her daughter did not come out by tomorrow morning, she would call the police and the police would help break down the door.
While she was worried, Scarlett's bedroom door suddenly opened. Mrs. Watson was suddenly surprised and delighted, and hurriedly got up to meet her, and stretched out her arms to her daughter, "Oh, dear, you are finally out!" Do you know how worried I am about you? Hurry up and go to dinner with Mom, Mom made your favorite apple pie......"
Scarlett hugged her mother gently, then hurried to the door, took a pair of flat sneakers from the shoe rack and put them on, and said with a forced smile while changing shoes: "Mom, I have nothing to do, I have an appointment, and I won't eat dinner at home." β
Hearing that her daughter was going on a date with her boyfriend, Mrs. Watson burst into laughter, "Do you have a date at night?" Okay, I'll keep the apple pie for you to come back in the evening for supper. Well, if you don't come back tonight, then Mommy will eat it herself. β
"What a mother! See you again, I love you! Scarlett said with a smile, opened the door and ran away.
Seeing her daughter's hurried look, Mrs. Watson smiled even more, and walked to the door to watch her daughter descend the stairs. She noticed that her daughter was wearing an inappropriate hat, and that her hair color had turned white blonde. But she didn't particularly care about it.
For Mrs. Watson, she was relieved as long as her daughter stopped locking herself in the house and making her frightened and cranky.
Scarlett ran all the way downstairs, and just out of the entrance of the building, a tiger cat with a mouse in its mouth suddenly burst out of the flower bed next to the entrance of the building and landed in front of Scarlett. Scarlett jerked her feet to keep her foot from stepping on the budgie.
The tiger cat ran past Scarlett, ran a few meters and then suddenly stopped, put down the mouse, turned to Scarlett and meowed a few times with a very unfriendly expression.
And Scarlett, who was about to leave, was stunned as if she had been struck by lightning after hearing the cry of the tiger cat.
Like a robot, she turned her neck with difficulty and looked at the tiger cat, only to see the tiger cat pick up the mouse again and run away quickly, leaving her with only a dashing and vigorous back.
After the tiger cat ran away, Scarlett stayed for a long time before moving on. It's just that his feet are a little mechanical, and his body is a little stiff. Walking to the avenue next to the apartment building, Scarlett pulled a stiff smile at the corner of her mouth and muttered: "Auditory hallucinations, it must have been auditory hallucinations just now, it must have been because I had too much psychological pressure in the past two days, and I had auditory hallucinations." Really, how can cats talk? β
Yes, Scarlett heard the cat talking. The tiger cat's meows just now fell into her ears, and it was a complaint: "Big guy, walk and look at it!" β
Shaking her head vigorously, throwing out the cat language that echoed in her head repeatedly and was regarded as "auditory hallucinations" by her, Scarlett took a deep breath, cheered up, and continued to move on. But at this moment, a pet dog shook its head and met it, whining in its mouth.
Hearing the whining of the pet dog, Scarlett was shocked again, as if she had been hit by the immobilization method, her pupils suddenly shrank, and she stared at the pet dog.
Because the whining sound in the pet dog's mouth, when it fell on Scarlett's ears, it suddenly became a sentence: "Dinner time, go home quickly, I look forward to ......".
