Chapter 14 Going Abroad
"My life has been filled with sadness and despair, even in the good old days." I've said this all the time, from the time I had the concept of life, value, and emotions in my mind until I finally designed this for the rest of my life. A drama that I can't look back on, a past full of memories, it all started on my first day as an adult.
――――
There are few people on the empty streets, and the city is very abnormal, but what does it matter to me? The Five Heavenly Kings on the side walked happily, and to be honest, I hadn't seen them when they were unhappy. We tacitly didn't talk about anything about the ability, and even when we came back, it was just with the same physics-only acceleration as we used to. Although there is always a sense of closeness between everyone, there seems to be some kind of separation between them, and this separation is the past I lost.
When I walked to the intersection of separation, I waved goodbye to it, and then turned around and went home silently alone, I didn't belong to that group after all, and the lonely world was the destination.
"Ling Yun." At this time, Zhang Ye stopped me.
I turned to look at him suspiciously.
"Because about something, I want you to go with us to meet our grandfather." He said to me very seriously, with sincerity in his expression, but I think he was a little abrupt to make this request.
But when I saw the others looking at me with the same expectant eyes, I didn't seem to intend to say no, just as a doting brother and sister would not refuse a willful request, and some vague and staccato images flashed through my mind, making me a little dizzy.
"Ling Yun? Ling Yun? ”
The call pulled me back to reality, "Ah, oh, I'm fine if I don't bother." ”
"Oh, yes!" As soon as I finished speaking, they cheered as if they had done something that seemed to be a great thing, but wondered why I felt like a brother.
"So, when, where to go?"
"This ...... Tomorrow, and ...... Belch...... Grandpa should be in England by now, and we plan to go abroad to find him. Their answer was a little embarrassed, after all, if it was normal, it would be like a person with some intentions to let someone who didn't know too well go out with someone else.
"This ......," I muttered for a moment, "forget it, I'll go with you tomorrow." "It's not impossible, anyway, this earth is actually not too big for people like us.
And just like that, we officially said goodbye.
――
When I got home, I habitually walked straight back to the bedroom, but I didn't take a few steps to find my father sitting in the living room looking through something.
After a pause, I continued walking, but just as I was about to enter, I suddenly stopped, "I'm going to England tomorrow." "I don't know what kind of psychology I made the gods say this.
“…… Oh, go for it. He didn't lift his head, just spat out three words.
"Touching !!" It's ridiculous to turn around and slam the door, what exactly was I expecting.
――
The next morning, I got up at six o'clock, but I didn't have any dreams, and the nightmare stopped, as if everything was over, but my mood couldn't get any better, and the irritability became heavier and heavier.
As always, after a simple wash, I went to campus again, but this time I had almost nothing with me, empty-handed. For some reason, there are very few people playing outside on campus today, and the once lively area is suddenly deserted, and even the usual vendors selling something across the street from the school gate are gone.
"Ling Yun-here-" At this time, Shangguan Yue'er's voice sounded diagonally behind me, and she stepped out of a specially made car--Lengthened Lincoln, after all, it was a six-person car, so it was naturally larger, and I was not surprised at what they were doing.
In fact, as long as I want to buy, save some pocket money every day, I can buy a luxury version or even a limited edition in a month, because I rely on a credit card for daily consumption, and the card is fixed with one million yuan, no matter how much is left, the next day it must still be a million, but I have no interest in these things, in the past few years, in order to understand this strange world, I have also bought a lot of things through some underground channels, from some rare sundries to rare advanced equipment.
Walking over and glancing at Nangong Hui sitting in the driver's seat, I immediately understood why he was called a "gold medal fighter", at this time he was wearing sunglasses as a temporary driver, he really had the style of a thug. However, in fact, if I didn't have to take the car today, they would have a special driver, and they rarely drove out alone.
Sitting in the car, a group of people were ready, obviously everything was ready, and the car had started.
"Drink something?" Ouyang Chengfeng picked up a goblet, handed it to me, and then pointed to the row in front of him of various drinks, of which coffee and wine, especially red wine, accounted for the vast majority.
"Juice, thank you." I love fruit juice and have tasted almost everything.
"......" Ouyang was stunned for a while, and then made a look of looking around, while still thinking about it, he finally opened a bottle of orange juice and poured it a little unwillingly.
"Alright, stop making a fuss, now we have ten minutes to get down to business." Zhou Bin interrupted his juggling, his expression was a little serious, and everyone put away their playful expressions, and I could clearly feel that at this moment, three or four spiritual forces were fluctuating violently, wrapping the whole car.
"Ling Yun, you must have guessed a little bit about the purpose of our search for you, right?"
"Well, about abilities." I shook my goblet gently and spoke.
"And not only that, but that inexplicable familiarity between us." Shangguan Yue'er's words shocked my hands, and the juice almost splashed out, and the next sentence completely shocked me, "And the first eight years of our common strangeness." ”
"......" I pressed the cup and didn't speak, listening to them continue.
"After learning that there would be a student at the school who was also twelve years old coming to the school, we started to investigate, and at this time, the first eight years were ordinary, nothing brilliant at all, and the last four years were mysterious, but the strange thing is that there is a complete set of records in this society that we can't fault with it anyway, so that we have nowhere to find it. And the same is true of each of our files. ”
Is it all like that? There was a faint throbbing in my heart, "So, you guys...... Do you have...... What about memories before the age of eight? ”
"Nope." This is their unanimous answer.
At this point, it dawned on me that I wasn't really alone, "So, do you always have all sorts of weird nightmares at night, rather than being familiar with something?" ”
"This ...... No? They wrinkled and vetoed. No...... Is it? At this moment, my heart calmed down again, and it wasn't just those that bothered me, "So how have you been doing in the past four years?" "Somehow, I felt a little dry in my voice.
"It's okay, although there are many problems and troubles, but our grandfather loves us very much, but he rarely has time to spend with us, most of the time we spend it together, although it is lonely."
"Oh, really?" Although I am disappointed, I am always a little glad in my heart, am I glad that they are not as miserable as me?
"Okay, that's the end of the story, let's talk about abilities first." Zhang Ye saw that the atmosphere had changed somewhat, and immediately diverted everyone's attention. "Let's talk about each of our abilities first."
"Starting with me, my ability is to control the temperature, the range of control is about 500 meters, up to 3,000 degrees, down to minus 30, the control force is related to the distance, the object and the temperature difference, and it can be accurately controlled at a fixed point, but the minimum scale is currently only one thumb up to 1,500 degrees."
The second is Ouyang Chengfeng, "My ability is to control the fluid within a radius of five hundred meters, based on water, whether it is thicker or thinner, the more laborious it is to control, but the air is still easy to control at this level of gas, and then it will be a significant difference to a certain extent, in addition to the same distance, how much and accuracy." "My heart fluttered with his ability, and although I was obviously different from him, I could control the wind.
Then Nangong Hui "My ability: impact control of momentum, with a range of 300 meters, controls the direction of the surrounding momentum, and can achieve dispersion and change of direction, which is affected by distance, quantity, and accuracy. ”
Then there is Zhou Bin: "I have the ability to manipulate the rules, change the materialization rules within five hundred meters, although I can do things like Zhang Ye, Chengfeng and Hui by changing the rules, but the accuracy is far less than the first three, in addition, it is also affected by the firmness of the control object, how much and the scope." ”
Finally, Shangguan Yue'er, "My ability is to perceive the structure within a radius of four hundred meters and induce structural changes, the accuracy is the highest among us, but the amount of control and the degree of reach are the lowest, so so far there is no attack power, but I can change the opponent's vision, hearing, and the angle of the attack moment and other auxiliary effects." ”
Extraordinary abilities have extraordinary effects, and if they can really be developed, they are absolutely amazing.
"We've all said our own, but what about yours?"
"Mine?" I lowered my head and thought for a while, "Within a radius of five hundred miles, all solid, liquid, and gaseous substances that can be perceived can be controlled, and the degree of control can be ...... Well...... The amount of quantity, the accuracy and the impact of the range. ”
"That's amazing!" After listening to my introduction, they immediately understood the properties of this ability, just like the Creator.
"Now that everyone understands each other's abilities, did Ling Yun awaken the night before yesterday?"
The night before yesterday? I frowned, thinking back to the mysterious dream and the mysterious man, and suddenly remembered that he seemed to have said that there was a large amount of energy injected into my body at that time, could it be that it was injected for the awakening ability? "Seems like so."
"That's right, Grandpa told us by phone that it is customary for us to start at midnight on September 2nd, when some of Grandpa's friends held an awakening ceremony for us. And he also said that the abilities of several of us are extremely special, the range is extremely wide, and the ability limit is extremely low, and "Zhang Ye, closed his eyes, and then opened them suddenly, his pupils showed a strange situation of one red and one blue, bright red and deep blue, "Just like you, Ling Yun, yours has a pair of blue eyes, and ours also has different heterochromatic pupils, which other abilities do not have." ”
"Really?" I really hadn't paid attention to what my previous eye color was, so when I looked at the photo yesterday, I thought I had blue eyes.
"Alright, that's the end of the conversation," the car stopped, and we were already at the airport, and there was no place outside to talk in secret.
After passing the inspection, they were on board to England, and because the destination was a manor in the grasslands of Northern Ireland, they had to change shifts, but it was clear that they were in good shape, and this little thing had been arranged, as was evident from the fact that the first class cabin was empty.
――――
When the plane finally took off, my parents sat outside the airport and watched me go, silent. It wasn't until much later, when I had the ability to look back on this time period, that I realized how sad they were at that time, and even my father, who had always been cold, shed tears.
