In the study...
Old Master Wen looked at her seriously. âYinyin, how much do you know about supernatural powers?â
Fu Yubo came to his house.
A mutant saw Ming Shu taking Zhuang Mengmeng away. There was another witness who saw everything too.
That meant that she knew about supernatural powers.
Also, based on what Fu Yubo said...
âNot a lot. When did I learn about it...â Ming Shu recalled. âLast week?â
âLast week?â Old Master Wen sized her up intently. âDid your power awaken?â
âNo.â
Old Master Wen didnât believe her. âCome over and let me take a look.â
Ming Shu walked over casually.
Old Master Wen confirmed that his granddaughter was just a normal person.
He hesitated. âDo you know that Little Shen is a mutant?â
âYes...â Ming Shu paused. âWhat happened to him?â
Old Master Wen asked Ming Shu to sit down. He expected this question. He organized his words before starting his story.
âLittle Shenâs parents are both mutants. Hence, he was born a mutant. However, his body was weak. No reason could be found. It was just weak.â
Ming Shu remembered what happened in the last world. This happened too...
He was still fine last time. Did his health get worse?
Luo Yan didnât appear in this world. Just as expected, he canât be trusted.
If a lunatic could be trusted, pigs could fly!
âAre you a mutant too?â
Old Master Wen sighed. He nodded. âThere are three kinds of supernatural powers. Offensive, auxiliary, and special. Offensive supernatural powers are the most powerful. Auxiliary supernatural powers are not strong while special supernatural powers are hard to find. Little Shenâs power is a special kind.â
âThen you must have an auxiliary kind of supernatural power. It must have something to do with our medical background.â
The child of a mutant had a 50% probability of becoming a mutant too.
However, Old Master Wenâs children were not mutants. His granddaughter was not as well.
Old Master Wen wasnât disappointed with this result. That meant that they could lead a normal life.
If he had a choice, he wouldnât want to have any supernatural powers.
âYinyin, I brought you here because Iâm afraid that... your supernatural power will get activated one day. However, looking at the situation now, you probably donât have any supernatural power.â
Old Master Wen didnât know if he should feel relieved or worried.
By rights, if she didnât have supernatural powers, he would not tell her all this.
But, life is always filled with surprises.
She had come in contact with supernatural powers without his knowledge.
âYinyin, since you know about supernatural powers now, you must not tell a normal person about this. You cannot let other people know that you know about it, either.â
Supernatural powers were a secret kept by a small portion of human beings.
They kept this secret and lived with it. Even though they were powerful, they couldnât use their powers at will.
People with auxiliary supernatural powers were still fine. They were just better in a certain aspect as compared to other normal humans. Hence, they would not be discovered easily.
âZhuang Mengmeng...â Ming Shu looked at Old Master Wen. âWhat about her?â
Old Master Wen shook his head. âThat child is special. She was immune to all other supernatural powers. I heard that many mutants wanted to capture her.â
Ming Shu sighed. The female protagonist was always the target of others. This would never change.
âSo what if they catch her? Can they eat her up?â
Old Master Wen didnât notice anything amiss with Ming Shuâs words. He frowned. âA mutant can take over the power of another mutant. This is forbidden by the law, but most mutants still do it in order to become more powerful.â
Ming Shu raised her eyebrows slightly.
So this was what Zhuang Mengmeng meant...
Ming Shu thought about Lu Zhan. âA mutant can have many supernatural powers?â
âYes,â Old Master Wen replied. âHowever, there are limitations. For instance, fire and water element powers cannot coexist. Based on current data, a person can have at most three supernatural powers. The body cannot handle any more than that.â
...
Old Master Wen didnât know much about Zhuang Mengmeng. Zhuang Mengmengâs power was discovered by the Supernatural Power Administration. Her information was kept there.
The Supernatural Power Administration was the official organization that governed the mutants.
Ming Shu asked about other organizations but Old Master Wen didnât answer her. He told her that it had nothing to do with her.
However, from what Old Master Wen said, there were quite a few organizations that were on the opposite side of the Supernatural Power Administration.
These organizations used their powers to do things against the law.
Thinking about it, this was a normal development.
If you had supernatural powers, but the authorities didnât allow you to use them, as a hot-blooded person, you probably wouldnât listen to the authorities, either.
Supernatural powers...
Old Master Wen introduced Ming Shu to the person who would be protecting her the next day. Ming Shu didnât need any protection. She wouldnât be able to unleash her potential if there was someone beside her.
However, Old Master Wen was afraid that something would happen to her so he didnât give in.
In the end, Ming Shu had to accept her bodyguard.
Luckily, her bodyguard would only protect her secretly so she didnât have to see him.
The next day, as Ming Shu was eating breakfast, she saw the new servants bringing breakfast up many times.
Tsk.
Pampered.
Ming Shu grabbed a piece of bread and left the villa. When she walked out of the villa, she purposely walked to the side and looked at Yu Shenâs window.
The curtain was drawn. Someone seemed to be standing behind the curtain. However, when she looked up, the figure was gone.
Ming Shu smiled. She continued on her journey to school.
After two days of holiday, most of the students were rushing through their homework.
She had to thank Yu Shen for what he did yesterday night. She had no choice but to wake up so she decided to finish her homework then.
She should reward herself with two bags of snacks.
âYinyin, what are you playing?â
Jiang Le and Cheng Xiang came to find Ming Shu.
Ming Shu said slowly, âIâm talking to a big brother.â
Jiang Le didnât care about who she was talking to. âHave you finished your homework? Let me copy it.â
Cheng Xiangâs eyes lit up. âPlease help me!â
Ming Shu glanced at him. âHow many bags of snacks?â
âThere will definitely be enough.â
Ming Shu took out her homework and passed it to them.
Jiang Le and Cheng Xiang started copying her homework. They managed to finish before the lesson started.
The third lesson ended.
A piece of news spread among the students.
Huang Xiaolu transferred to another school.
âWhy did she transfer? Nothing happened to her, right? She didnât mention anything about transferring on Friday...â
âDid something happen?â
âI donât know.â
âMaybe something happened to her family. Also, itâs good that she transferred. I donât like her.â
âWhy didnât you say it when she was here?â
âShe was so fierce. I didnât dare...â
Many rumors about her spread. Some people even said that she was expelled.
Ming Shu didnât know what happened to Huang Xiaolu on Friday. If the big brother belonged to the Supernatural Power Administration, Huang Xiaolu would have been handled by them.
