After walking on the main road for two minutes, Adonis took Marven Ye into a small alley, turned a few corners in this old community, and finally stopped in front of a five-story building.
Marven Ye looked around and saw that it was an ordinary tube building. The building was dilapidated and rotten, with a layer of ash on the bricks. On the east-facing wall, there were green creepers growing vigorously. They had climbed tenaciously to the fourth floor and wanted to occupy the top floor. Just around the corner.
The stairwell was much cleaner than Marven Ye imagined, with no old sundries, and only a few bicycles were placed in the aisle, which seemed quite empty.
Adonis took him to the fourth floor, stopped in front of a security door in the east, and lowered his head to take out the key to open the door.
Marven Ye glanced left and right: "Are there many people living in this building?"
Adonis looked at him: "More."
Just as Marven Ye was about to sigh, the foreigner beside him silently added, "It's all the soldiers who live here."
Marven Ye: "Huh?"
Adonis: "It was the one who was monitoring me nearby. I paid attention to it a few days ago. Three-quarters of the people in this community are people you sent to watch me."
Marven Ye: "...I suddenly felt that they might not have enough staff."
Adonis smiled and opened the door: "Come in, Casey is also in the room."
When he entered the house, he found out that there was a cave inside. Marven Ye looked around, raised his eyebrows and said, "They opened up the two houses?"
"Yeah. The wall in the living room was knocked down. Kathy and I now live in a four bedroom and two living room." Adonis took off his windbreaker and cap and threw it on the sofa, and walked to a locked room. Next to the bedroom, he stopped and knocked twice: "Cathy, there is a guest here."
The door was opened from the inside the next moment, and a thin blond little girl ran out, ran to Marven Ye twice, hugged his thigh, and then stopped moving.
Casey was too skinny, so Marven Ye was scolded by her, and without shaking, leaned over and picked her up: "Cathy, do you still know me?"
The girl still had a mask on her face, and just nodded sullenly: "Brother... Brilliant..."
Marven Ye hooked his lips, feeling inexplicably much better.
The three moved to the sofa in the living room. Adonis took two cans of cold beer from the refrigerator and stuffed a bottle of Yakult into Kathy's arms.
Marven Ye saw that he was wearing a heavy metal ring on his wrist. He thought it was a tracking device for monitoring abilities, but he just pretended not to know, and changed the subject: "Why does Casey keep wearing a mask?"
Adonis snorted: "She's afraid of scaring others."
Marven Ye blinked, and saw that the other party turned his head and asked Casey, "Baby, would you like Ye to see your face?"
Casey looked back and forth between them, nodding slowly.
Marven Ye was a little unclear: "Uh, no need to do this, I'm just curious, if it's inconvenient for you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Casey took off the mask and turned his face to Marven Ye.
Marven Ye: "… "
The little girl's face was clean, but there was a circle of stitches around her lips, as if someone took a needle and thread and sewed her mouth tightly, the thin thread was tied tightly and embedded in the flesh, and streaks were drawn out. Terrible scars.
Looking at it now, there are no traces of thin lines, only reddish-brown scars remain on Casey's face, looking extremely frightening, and Rao Ye Wenxuan was also startled.
He was shocked: "This... Who did this, did someone from the research institute do it?!"
Kathy shook her head, and Adonis spoke for her: "Before she was sent to the laboratory, her mouth was sewn with fishing line, and it was made by her mother."
Marven Ye: "... I... rely on?"
"Cathy's father died in a car accident, and her mother had some mental problems. Later, Casey's mother found that her daughter often talked to herself, and what she said would often come true soon after." "The last time, she predicted that her neighbor would be shot as she went out, and after that happened, her mother had a nervous breakdown," Dunis explained slowly.
He reached out and touched Casey's head, and whispered: "Her mother thought that those who were prophesied, even her husband, died because of Casey's curse. So she poured it into her daughter's throat. alcohol and sewed her mouth with fishing line."
"That way, Casey will never be able to speak, and no more strange things will come to pass."
Marven Ye lowered his head and watched the little girl insert the straw into the mouth of the bottle and swallow the drink bit by bit.
His Adam's apple rolled up and down, and finally choked back the swear words he blurted out.
Adonis saw that his emotions were fluctuating, and turned to comfort him: "It was a long time ago. When they arrived at the research institute, in order to test her ability, those people tried their best to treat Casey's throat and removed all the fishing lines. already."
Marven Ye frowned: "...Dare they do something good?"
Adonis smiled: "I just think that if you say that, your expression will be less hideous."
Marven Ye stared at his bald head for a while, and sighed: "Congratulations, the success has made my mood very bad."
"Trust me, this wasn't my intention." Adonis laughed and said, "Cathy doesn't mind these things either. Her only trouble is that she is afraid of scaring others. Anyway, you know it now, and Kathy doesn't need to be at home. Wear a mask too, you can take it off to breathe the fresh air of China."
Marven Ye replied angrily: "Well, whatever you say makes sense."
The three sat around the coffee table, Adonis turned on the TV, tuned to the TV drama channel, and chatted with Marven Ye while watching the series with relish.
Marven Ye: "What are you doing here now?"
Adonis: "Every day except weekends, people in uniform pick me up to different places, they put black car film on the windows, and I don't know where that is."
Marven Ye: "What are you going to do?"
"Just to ask some questions, from the SP Institute, as well as power users and the like. Sometimes you will let me and your soldiers learn from each other, and we both gain something from each other." Adonis shrugged: "My current identity is I'm still very sensitive, it's still in the assessment period, I can only actively cooperate with your work and try to get rid of this thing in your hands as soon as possible." He raised his hand and shook the bracelet on his wrist.
Marven Ye glanced at him a few times, then picked up the remote control and tuned to the news channel: "As long as you have no other purpose, this thing will be removed sooner or later."
Adonis: "Hey!"
Marven Ye: "Huh?"
Adonis: "I want to watch TV series, please switch to the previous eight."
Marven Ye's black line: "...What's so good about mother-in-law and daughter-in-law dramas, can we watch something meaningful?"
Adonis watched the TV, and the follow-up report about Xing's huge loss was playing on the screen. He didn't realize it, and still firmly wanted to go back and watch the fight between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law.
Marven Ye: "...Do you understand Chinese? You can read it with such relish."
Adonis said modestly: "I don't understand very well, but art knows no borders. I can read their body language."
Marven Ye: "..." God's body language is so special.
After staying for more than an hour, seeing that it was getting late, Marven Ye got up to say goodbye, and Adonis followed him out: "I will send you a while, and drop by to buy some vegetables."
Marven Ye shook his head: "You have a proper pension model."
Adonis smiled: "It would have been better if there wasn't a group of plainclothes behind."
Marven Ye glared at him: "If you have no problem at all, of course they will retreat soon."
Adonis didn't refute, just nodded: "It's very good here, and Casey likes it very much. I will try my best to eliminate the gap between you and you."
When parting, Marven Ye patted him on the shoulder: "No need to send it, maybe, I will come to disturb you again tomorrow."
Adonis smiled suddenly: "I guessed it somewhat."
He said sincerely, "If you want to come, Kathy and I are always welcome."
Since then, the two have been in touch with each other through text messages sometimes, and they both feel that it is not bad to get along.
Two days later, Marven Ye received a new assignment.
- Live in the suburbs of City B and supervise two foreign powers nearby.
×××××××××
mid-July.
The weather in midsummer is getting hotter and hotter, and there are fewer pedestrians on the street. No one wants to be exposed to the sun, and they all hide in the house with fans and air conditioners.
An ordinary residential building on the outskirts of City B, there is a certain family in the east corridor on the fourth floor.
The south-facing window was half-opened, and a warm wind blew in from outside, lifting up the floral curtains piled on one side.
In the training room, someone was sitting cross-legged in the center of the room, with his hands on his knees and his eyes slightly closed, as if he was meditating.
Around the youth, dozens of iron balls, large and small, were suspended in mid-air. They centered on the youth and revolved around him with some wonderful rhythm.
If you watch from a distance, this scene is a bit like many cosmic planets revolving around the sun, and the scene is quite spectacular.
But if you keep staring at it all the time, those who are careful will find that the young man is not alone in this room.
The iron ball spinning in the air began to accelerate gradually, and the ball rubbed against the air, making a whistling sound of wind. At this moment, a tall, thin, bald man suddenly appeared in a corner of the room.
It was like a person who had torn apart the space for no reason and popped out. He appeared without warning. The man raised his hand to catch an iron ball, and then suddenly disappeared when the other balls hit him.
A second later, he appeared in another corner, forming a diagonal line from his previous position.
Every time a man appears, he must take away a flying iron ball.
At the end, the speed of the iron ball became faster and faster, and the frequency of men disappearing and reappearing became more and more frequent.
Finally, a few minutes later, the last iron ball was in his palm.
The young man sitting cross-legged opened his eyes and let out a slow sigh of relief.
A hand appeared in front of the young man out of thin air. He raised his eyes and looked at it without hesitation. He held that hand and stood up with strength.
"How long did it take this time?" the young man asked casually.
The bald man walked out of the training room and looked at the clock hanging in the living room: "It took 23 minutes to recover all the iron balls. Well, your control ability has improved."
As he said, he threw a heavy backpack on his back on the floor, and took off the insulating gloves on his hands: "The strength seems to be increasing, and a few times I was almost carried away by the iron ball."
The corners of the youth's mouth curled up: "But you still caught all the iron balls, as expected of supersonic speed, amazing."
These two are Marven Ye and Adonis.
More than three months have passed since Marven Ye took over the task of supervising the two nearby abilities.
He lived in the bungalow arranged by the special affairs department for Adonis, because Adonis's room was connected to the next door. Casey and Adonis only occupy two bedrooms on weekdays, so Marven Ye simply stayed in the other two empty rooms. One was chosen, and the other was transformed into a training room after a week of discussions.
Marven Ye was the first ability user discovered by Hua Guo. Before that, this field was basically blank. There was no teacher to teach him how to use his abilities. Everything was just his own exploration.
After a few falls, there have been gains.
Now that he has met two "partners" who are the same as him, how could Marven Ye not get close and ask for advice
This is how the training room was born.
After Marven Ye moved in, it was easy for Adonis to explore their abilities. The former was still ignorant, but the latter had a lot of experience.
Adonis wanted to take root in China, so he naturally gave it all, teaching Marven Ye many limitations and experience in using abilities.
Nowadays, Marven Ye's abilities are not limited to simple and rude means such as hacking a lightning bolt or placing a dark thunderbolt. A month ago, he finally figured out how to use electromagnetism, how to arrange a magnetic field to interfere with the current and moving charges, so as to manipulate various non-living objects in the magnetic field to achieve various effects.
This feels very strange, kind of like establishing your own "domain space", in this space, everything is driven by it.
Even after exercising for such a long time, it is still impossible to control the life forms in the magnetic field, nor to affect the bioelectricity in the human body.
Marven Ye thought about many reasons to explain why he failed in his attempts, and finally came to the conclusion that he was just too bad at science!
As a scumbag who has never studied physics and biology since the second year of high school, he was able to figure out an electromagnetic field and was almost moved to tears, and he wanted to continue his research on bioelectricity
Marven Ye: Mom sells batches, I can't even recite the basic meaning of bioelectricity. Isn't this the legendary "I want to learn to run before I learn to walk".
Therefore, bioelectricity or something can be recorded in a notebook. After he uses his abilities more proficiently, he may be able to study it again.
I hope he hasn't passed his sixtieth birthday by then.
After leaving the training room, Adonis looked at his watch: "It's almost noon, I'm going to cook noodles."
The three powers living under one roof, except Casey who is too young, the other two take up the housework and cook meals every other day. Marven Ye is one, three and five, and Adonis is two, four and six. On Sunday, everyone improves their meals and can go out to eat.
Today is Adonis in charge of cooking.
Marven Ye slowly calmed the magnetic field around him, and some tiny electrons brushed against his skin, leaving a subtle touch.
He untied the hair tie that had been bundled behind his head in the morning. The hair that had not been taken care of for a long time in the past few months seemed to grow in the wind, and now it can hang down to his chest.
Marven Ye shook his hair, brought out a few strands of ionization, and smashed against the walls and ceiling with a crackle.
"Alas. I still have to find a day to cut my hair." He grabbed the comb on the coffee table and began to re-tie his hair bitterly.
The author has something to say:
#####Who is faster #####
Adonis: "I'm supersonic, I'm faster."
Marven Ye: "Nonsense, lightning is faster."
Adonis: "I don't. I must be the fastest man in the world!"
Marven Ye: "… "
Marven Ye: "Okay, you are the fastest, you are the fastest. I will not snatch this from you."
