Chapter 3: The Mysterious Price

"Phew!" One second, Carter was still on Jingxiang, and the next second, he rushed to the paper basket and spit out.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not gay, what I did just now was just the price of using my power, I believe you also know the truth." Carter quickly explained.

And Jing Xiang has been in the fog since the beginning of the "noun explanation", and the scene just now frightened him even more, "Substitute ...... Price? ”

"Don't you know the way? No...... Haven't you paid the price? This time it was Zi Chen's turn to be surprised.

Even with it, the people around him also had an unbelievable expression on their faces.

Jing Xiang shook his head: "Is there a price to be paid for using ability?" So what else do we need this kind of thing for? ”

"Cutβ€”don't you know the superiority of your superpowers? Compared to mages who can also use an unknown amount of power, they still need time to do and chant, but we use it instantly! The orange-haired man "made up for it" fiercely.

Jing Xiang found that his head was not enough, why did a "magician" appear again? Is this world crazy?

Noticing Jing Xiang's astonishment, Carter straightened his collar and patiently explained: "The price to pay for using superpowers is something that almost everyone will naturally realize the moment their superpowers awaken. The so-called 'cost' is, to put it bluntly, to force oneself to do something that one is not willing to do, and generally speaking, the stronger the ability, the greater the cost. For example, I, you have also personally felt it, I am actually not gay, I am a straight man, an authentic heterosexual......" Carter glanced at Zi Chen, everyone smiled, Zi Chen pretended not to see it, "For me, the most unbearable thing is to have something to do with a man, so my price is to force myself to show love to the same sex, the more exaggerated and unbearable this move is, the longer and stronger the superpower I can use, and the stronger it will be." ”

"Everyone here has to pay a price for using superpowers, and the lowest price is Mu Lian." Carter pointed to the girl with long black hair, "Of course, this is just what I think, in fact, for everyone, the price is their own psychologically unacceptable practice, for the price of payment, we all have psychological barriers, maybe this is also the embodiment of the way of heaven, not to let our superpowers do evil, abuse of power." ”

"Has anyone tried not to pay the price?" Jing Xiang came back to his senses and asked.

"Yes!" Zichen interjected again, causing Carter to be embarrassed.

"But, since then, no one has seen that guy who 'defaulted'." Zi Chen's cold tone was a little creepy when he said such content.

Jing Xiang couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

"However, I remember that the cost is also instantaneous and long-term, since you don't feel the need to pay anything in the process of using the power, then your price should be paid or will be paid in the future; This kind of obstruction of fate in the length of life is generally called the 'long-term price', but I have seen one of the people who pay this price, and if you do, it may be the second special case. ”

"I've been unlucky." Jing Xiang thought about himself and felt that he must have paid it, this price is not small, and it was just paid this morning......

"Yo, let's not talk about the price, what's your ability? I can't feel the fluctuation of your ability field at all! The orange-haired man got up and looked down at Jing Xiang.

"I ......"

"Alas, don't give any newcomer a horse." Carter also walked slowly to Jing Xiang's side, "What I saw in that room was also very strange, just a ball of light, but because it was in the dark, I felt very scary." Since I could only go in once, I thought I was just a 'light bulb' for a long time, and it wasn't until I joined the 'Wings of Judgment' that I developed my true abilities through the grinding of the mission. ”

Carter put his hand on Jing Xiang's shoulder, which frightened Jing Xiang, "Join us, although this association is just a feather of the 'Wings of Judgment', but-one day, it will become a real wing that can fly independently!" ”

A gust of wind suddenly blew in the closed classroom, and everyone felt a sudden chuckle in their hearts, and an inexplicable fear came and went in an instant.

"Your pulling skills are still so lame, can you change this bloody line? In the past three years, countless newcomers have given you this sentence, disgusting and gone. Zi Chen, who was the farthest away, squinted his eyes and looked at Carter with a look of disdain.

The corners of Carter's mouth, which was closest to the center of the storm, twitched, but his eyes were full of anticipation.

"As long asβ€”" Everyone didn't have hope, but the two words Jing Xiang opened his mouth were not 'refuse', which made them focus their attention immediately, "As long as I can solve the problem of my ability not being able to retract and release freely, I am willing!" ”

"Yahu~ Welcome newcomers!" The crowd cheered, as if the momentary fear they had just felt was non-existent; There was one exception, however, when Mu Lian's pupils had narrowed dramatically since the storm, and she was shivering alone behind the crowd.

No one noticed......

"Ha Luha, everyone is really enthusiastic!" Jing Xiang was thrown into the air by several people and caught and thrown again, "But I don't know much about everyone, my name is Jing Xiang, the scenery of Jing, the auspicious Xiang, I don't know the ability myself, often causing the people around me to alienate me, and the cats and dogs see me like they see the enemy." ”

"Ha Luha, what a wonderful ability, this ability is actually undeveloped, I was shocked just now!" The orange-haired man Yamahiko took the lead in answering the conversation, "My name is Fujita Yamahiko, everyone calls me Yamahiko, how old are you, you can just call me eldest brother, Ha Luha, in terms of ability, I will cover you!" Mine is an A-level telekinesis, which is the most common ability that few people are proficient in. ”

Carter added: "Yamahiko is one of the few members of our association who can participate in combat missions, as for the other members, it's not early now, I think your sister should wait for you to be haggard~ They will introduce you next time, well, this is our association membership card, with this card, you can enter and exit any of our strongholds in this city......"

At this point, Jing Xiang was able to go back and report safely, but who knows, a small path was suddenly squeezed out of the crowd, and out of it was the girl Mu Lian, who had long black hair-

"Fear ......"

"Huh? What did you just say, little Mulian? Carter looked at her suspiciously, and Zichen and the others also focused their eyes on the girl.

"His ability ......" Mu Lian pointed at Jing Xiang with her left hand, which was still trembling slightly, "It's fear!" ”

Jing Xiang's pupils also contracted instantly. The air around him suddenly became viscous, as if a storm was about to strike. But the next moment, Jing Xiang suddenly disappeared into this closed classroom.

At this time, Zi Chen reacted and looked at Mu Lian. She was sweating profusely and panting as she leaned to Carter's side, her eyes still flashing an ominous red.

Zi Chen realized that it was Mu Lian who had activated her ability just now...... What is the origin of the newcomer who can make Mu Lian so nervous? The fire of doubt that had already subsided was ignited in Zi Chen's heart.

"Uncle Carter ~ I'm hot...... Yes, can you help me take off a few pieces of clothing? ”

"Uh, hehe, happy to serve, I'm not that old, I'm just ......"

Syllable! Syllable!

Mu Lian and Zi Chen left the classroom side by side, leaving only the elder who fell unconscious......

β€»β€»

"Haha, that is, you were kicked out by a little girl?" Jing Mo held his chin with his right hand and smiled drunkenly.

"That's not the point! What I want to ask is - didn't you go to the cafΓ©? How can you be in a bar!! Jing Xiang whispered with a flushed face.

"Well~ When your sister and I were so old at your age, I don't know how many times the tavern Qinglou made trouble, hiccup! Why is it your turn that you don't even dare to come to this kind of place where you can eat and drink with peace of mind...... Belch! ”

"Alright, let's go!"

"Sir, please settle the bill, a total of five hundred and eighty yuan."

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I'm so poor now! Foodie sister!! ”

At the other end of the world, in the Byzantine Inquisition, the bishop was praying in front of an idol.

In a few moments, the idol was bathed in divine light.

"Archbishop, does the Lord have instructions?" Behind a pillar, a female voice as nice as a yellow bird sounded.

"Your Highness, Your Highness the Star Saint, the Lord says, 'Satan has appeared, in the East.'"

"Really...... He...... The one who rules my future...... "......The Star Saintess's voice grew smaller and smaller, almost inaudible, and with a slight glimmer of light, it seemed that her cheeks were faintly glowing.

Back in the East, the bear child who missed all the first day of the college entrance examination.

"It's all said! I'm still a high school student, so I can't go to a place like this. Jing Xiang's face turned red and stated his reasons to Jing Mo, and righteously warned her that she couldn't take herself to this kind of place.

Bang!

"Yikes!" A girl was knocked to the ground by Jing Xiang, who had been staring at Jing Mo.

"Ahh Excuse me. Jing Xiang hurriedly reached out to pull the girl who fell to the ground.

"You go away!"

"Huh?!" Jing Xiang was surprised why this girl was so squeamish, but when he looked at it, he was directly stunned.

The girl who fell to the ground hurriedly put on a hat to cover her head and ran away.

"What's wrong, brother?" Jing Mo finally opened his drunken eyes and looked at Jing Xiang.

She ...... She ......"

"Huh?"

"She has a pair of wolf ears on her head!"

Jing Mo quietly looked at Jing Xiang's surprised appearance, and he didn't see the slightest drunkenness.

In the 235th branch, after the two girls, Zi Chen and Mu Lian, left, the closed classroom fell into a dull place again.

"Just now...... Mu Lian's ability doesn't seem to be normal. Tachibanayamahiko changed his previous ruffian appearance and calmly analyzed.

A fat man wearing a chef's hat next to him knocked on the big spoon that he took out of nowhere and said: "Xiao Mulian's ability has always been our secret, and the reason why we can keep the secret is that the movement of her ability is very small, this time...... It seems to be advanced...... It's not very good. ”

The president lifted his glasses: "Anyway, it's a good thing that our ability has improved, and maybe our ability to protect ourselves will be stronger because of it." Okay, let's not talk about it. What do you think about newcomers? Having said that, I don't want you to ostracize him. ”

"Halu haha, you're thinking too much, if I guess the ability of this newcomer correctly, it should be from the Department of Psychology. The rarest of systems. It seems to make us feel fear. Yamahiko levitated a table in the air, and its eyes glowed white at the same time, "This ability is very convenient in any mission; If he helps me in this mission, not only will it be successful, but our association will be upgraded. ”

Carter nodded and said nothing.

In the school, Zi Chen pulled Mu Lian to sit on the lawn and talk.

"Mu Lian, it seems that your ability field fluctuation just now is too great......" Zi Chen was scolding her in a cold tone.

Mu Lian bowed her head silently.

"We said that your secret must not be leaked, otherwise not only will your wish not be realized, but we will also be in danger!" Seeing this, Zi Chen had to remind softly, "Be careful next time, this time the newcomer is the same as you, and he found the classroom blocked by superpowers, so we won't abandon him, I hope you and him can get along well, and I also hope that you can have another company." You're so lonely......"

Mu Lian shook her head and got up to leave.

Zi Chen grabbed her, "Although Carter said that he is not 'their person', I will still keep an eye on it, if you believe my sister, go to him more often, and help my sister inquire about him, in addition, that Jingxiang seems to have a sister, pay attention." ”

Mu Lian was silent for a few seconds and finally agreed.

When the campus and the other end of the world were about to move, the person concerned, Jing Xiang, was worried about whether he should take the exam.

"Don't worry, with my sister sending you, you won't be late!"

"But what do you do at night?"

"Sleep with you!" Jing Mo blinked.

"But I'm a single bed!" Jing Xiang is about to go crazy, although it is the wish of every normal man to have a beauty by his side, but he has always thought that he is a reserved boy.

"Then you'll have to sleep on the carpet."

Seeing Jing Mo looking very distressed and thinking, Jing Xiang had no choice but to obey.

[Then - sleep on the carpet.] 】

At night, Jing Xiang, who had experienced strange things all day, was still digesting himself, and he really couldn't figure it out, so he asked Jing Mo: "Hey, do you know that there is a price to pay for the use of Dao's superpowers?" I've never had the urge to force myself, so what is the price for me...... Will it be dangerous? ”

"It's called, sister, sister! It's hard for me to say this kind of thing, anyway, believe in yourself, as long as you have a clear conscience and live a meaningful life, you don't care about the length or anything; For me, the width of life is even more precious......" Jing Mo lay on the bed, and the bright moonlight shone into the room through the gauze curtains, casting a layer of mysterious light on her.

"Width...... Sister, you suddenly appeared in my life, although it is a little wonderful, but I quickly accepted it in my heart...... I always feel that sister, you are an extraordinary big person! Jing Xiang fell into the lust of a teenager.

"Don't be poor, I'm afraid you've been lonely for too long, if you accept it so quickly, alas...... Speaking of which, I reiterate again, you must not fall in love with your sister, otherwise you will die an ugly death! Jing Mo's quilt trembled.

"Hmph, I know that Sister Lu Dao is laughing at my lack of experience, don't worry, I'm a righteous gentleman, and well, I won't like a 'witch' like you, I like that kind of quiet, virtuous ......"

"Stop! Do you want to get up tomorrow to take the exam!? If you miss it, you won't be able to get into that school, and then you can cry! Jing Mo said angrily.

"Hehe, I'm so angry, I'm afraid that you won't be able to marry your sister."

"Sleep for me!"

In the mountains and forests of this city, just as happy people are falling asleep, there is a wolf that is carefully foraging for food.

The sound of the girl sobbing came from the forest, and under the cold moonlight, the warmth of summer was no longer there.

Yes, just the girl who leaned on the cold wolf corpse......
