After putting away the target and walking into the village, Chen Fan could feel that the village was much more lively. Not far away, he could vaguely hear the sounds of children fighting and mothers scolding.
In a trance, people have an illusion that this is not the end of the world at all.
Chen Fan smiled and shook his head, then walked towards home. He planned to go and practice shooting skills with Uncle Zhang after dinner.
"Um, Chen, Chen Fan?"
At this moment, a clear and beautiful voice like an oriole sounded behind him.
Chen Fan turned around and saw a long-haired woman in the night, looking at him timidly.
"Is it her?"
Chen Fan's pupils contracted.
The woman in front of him was the Meng Yu that Uncle Qin had mentioned before.
At first, he had a strange feeling and was misunderstood by everyone. However, in the past two days, he was so absorbed in martial arts that he almost forgot about it.
"You looking for me?"
"Um."
Meng Yu bit her lip, looking very embarrassed, "Are you free now? I have something very important to tell you."
"Something very important?"
Chen Fan was stunned for a moment. "Then wait here for me. I'll go back and say hello to my parents. Otherwise, I'm afraid they'll look for me."
"OK."
Meng Yu agreed and watched Chen Fan's figure quickly disappear into the distance, his hands unconsciously placed on his heart.
"If I do this, will it be considered as disappointing my sister's expectations?"
She bit her lip and said, "My sister told me not to tell anyone about this, otherwise, I would end up like her. But if I choose not to tell anyone, someone will die, and that person is someone who is very good to me."
Just then, a figure came over quickly, "Sorry, I kept you waiting."
Chen Fan smiled at her: "Your name is Meng Yu, right?"
"?"
Meng Yu opened his eyes wide.
"I heard Uncle Qin mention you."
Chen Fan explained, and then asked: "What is the important thing you just mentioned?"
Meng Yu looked around, looking guilty, and then said softly, "Can you come in and talk? It won't take you long."
Chen Fan showed a hint of surprise in his eyes, nodded, and walked in.
There was a bonfire burning in the house, and the furnishings inside were simple, but tidy.
He just sat down on the stool.
A soft sound.
Meng Yu closed the door.
"?"
Chen Fan couldn't help but swallow his saliva. What was going on? Even if it was something important, there was no need to close the door, right
Besides, it was getting late and there wouldn't be anyone walking around with nothing to do.
Meng Yu seemed to notice that the atmosphere was a bit unusual, and quickly waved his hand and said, "No, it's not what you think. This matter concerns my safety, so I can't let others know."
"It's about your safety?"
"Um."
Meng Yu nodded, walked to the table and sat down. After hesitating for a moment, he slowly said, "Actually, I am an awakener."
Chen Fan's eyes widened instantly, with a look of shock on his face.
"You, you are the Awakened?"
"Um."
Meng Yu and Chen Fan looked at each other with calm expressions.
Chen Fan took several deep breaths. No wonder the other party looked so cautious. What's wrong
He asked doubtfully: "Ms. Meng Yu, if you are an awakened one, there is no need to hide it, right?"
"Other types of awakened people may be able to do it, but not me."
Meng Yu heard the hidden meaning of Chen Fan's words, lowered his head to look at the table, and said: "Because my ability is to predict the future."
"!!!"
Chen Fan seemed to be petrified.
Predict the future
Although this is indeed a kind of superpower, are there really such bug-level awakeners
"I know you don't believe it, but my sister and I both have awakened abilities that allow us to predict the future."
Meng Yu's tone was a little nervous.
"What about your sister?"
Chen Fan subconsciously looked around. There were only two of them in the room. He also remembered that Uncle Qin said that Meng Yu came here alone, not with someone else.
"My sister, she is in Anshan City."
There was a deep sadness in Meng Yu's eyes.
"In Anshan City?"
Chen Fan subconsciously thought, isn't this a good thing? How many people want to go to this place.
But Meng Yu's eyes told him that this matter was not as simple as he had imagined.
"Your sister?"
"My sister is being controlled."
Meng Yu's eyes were red. "Although we are both awakened and have the same abilities, our control over our abilities is very different."
"My prediction of the future can only appear in the form of dreams, and the things I predict are not 100% under my control. But my sister can use this ability at will to predict what she wants."
Chen Fan suddenly realized what was going on when he heard this. "So, your sister is protected on the surface, but in fact she is under house arrest, constantly predicting the future for others."
"Um."
Meng Yu looked at Chen Fan, a hint of uneasiness flashing across the depths of his eyes.
Before she told Chen Fan her identity, she feared more than once that she would suffer the same fate.
However, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Over the years, Chen Guodong has treated everyone in the village equally, which is completely different from other village leaders.
And Chen Fan, as the other party's son, also has a kind and righteous heart, which is the biggest reason that gives her courage.
"How is your sister?"
Chen Fan had a bad feeling.
As expected, Meng Yu shook her head and choked up, "My sister has been overdrawing her life. I'm afraid she won't live much longer."
"What?"
Chen Fan was startled and looked into the other person's eyes.
"Will the awakened one overdraw his own life when using his supernatural power?"
Meng Yu shook his head slightly, "Normally no, it's just that our abilities are somewhat special."
"Something special?"
"Well, ordinary people have their own limits, and so do awakened ones. They can't do anything beyond their capabilities, but we are different. Theoretically, we can predict anything as long as our spirit can hold up."
"You mean, if the spirit can't hold on, the vitality will be consumed as a price?" After Chen Fan said this, he felt a chill on his back.
Meng Yu showed a hint of surprise in his eyes, and then nodded, "That's right, not everything can be predicted. The more people are involved, and the stronger they are, the greater the price we have to pay.
My sister once told me that whether something can be predicted, what the cost will be after prediction, and whether we can bear the consequences, we will have a warning in our hearts.
However, she knew all this, but was forced by those people to constantly use her ability to predict the future. In just a few years, she had aged to the point of being in her seventies or eighties. But, but, "
Meng Yu burst into tears, "She is my twin sister."
