Lu Yao told Xiao Ze that he was going out tomorrow, but in fact he had already bought a ticket for the evening train.
The place she was going to was Maoroupad No. 4 Town in Daimao City, which was also the town where Xu Xiaoxiao lived in her childhood.
Ji Feiming stood at the entrance of the Childhood Tuition Center, with worry in his eyes: "Are you really going out so late alone?"
This is a world with superpowers, and there is no guarantee that there will be no violent elements. The shop owner went to take a car alone, and it was night, so Ji Feiming was very worried.
Unfortunately, the shop assistants in the shopping street were unable to get out of the door, and the owner did not tell Harold about his outing this time.
Lu Yao was not afraid, and even felt a sense of excitement about exploring a new world. "Don't worry, I bought a ticket that goes directly to the city center. I will be back at the latest in the early morning of the day after tomorrow. If there is anything in the store, call me."
The tutorial center has installed Sanhua City's communication system, which is convenient for contacting tutoring customers and also for contacting the owner who is out.
After saying goodbye to Ji Feiming, Lu Yao turned around and went to the station with his bag.
The owner had already prepared a travel guide. There is a direct tram from Sanhua City to Daimao City, which takes two hours.
After arriving at Daimao City, take the night bus and you will reach Maoroudian No. 4 Town in an hour and a half.
The night bus services in various cities run until the early morning at the latest. Lu Yao departed from Sanhua City at 8 pm and arrived in Daimao City at 10 pm, almost catching the last bus.
Stations are large areas with heavy traffic, and there are more people using superpowers than in ordinary places.
As soon as Lu Yao entered the station, his bag was picked up.
The other person was a person with super powers. He walked past her. The bag was not damaged, but all the things inside were gone.
However, when Lu Yao came out of the cram school, she habitually moved all the important things to her personal storage, even the lunch box Zhou Su prepared for her.
The only things that were taken were motion sickness pills, tissues and a bag of chewing gum.
System: [Not going after him?]
Lu Yao shook his head, "Forget it, there's no time to waste on trivial matters."
System: [Why do we have to go to the place where Xu Xiaoxiao lived when she was a child? It's a thankless task. Even if we don't go, you can still complete the tutoring based on the information obtained from her bones, right? ]
Lu Yao checked the ticket and walked into the station: "It's true that there's no need to go through so much trouble. But don't you want to know who slandered her back then? And that man, if he's still in that town, it's always going to make people feel uneasy."
System: [Shopkeeper, you have changed.]
Lu Yao: “Hmm?”
System: [You would never have gone to such lengths just for one customer. ]
Lu Yao nodded: "There is an old saying in our culture, 'If you are poor, you should take care of yourself; if you are rich, you should help the world.' We don't have the strength to help the world, but at least we can solve some small problems within our ability."
The system remained silent and secretly went online to look up the meaning of the ancient saying.
However, there is no such saying in this world, and the system is helpless.
Lu Yao's seat was right next to the window.
After she sat down, she moved closer to the glass window to see the night view outside.
It was pitch black outside the window and I couldn't see anything.
Lu Yao felt bored and was about to sit up straight, but when he looked up he saw a figure printed on the glass.
He had neat short silver hair, a dark suit, and was wearing sunglasses late at night, revealing half of his face with sharp edges and corners.
Lu Yao's heart skipped a beat, he turned around and asked tentatively: "Xiao A?"
"An Yan." The man introduced himself, then sat down next to Lu Yao, revealing a corner of the ticket held between his slender fingers.
Lu Yao understood and followed suit: "Hello, my name is Lu Yao."
An Yan nodded slightly as a response.
Lu Yao was puzzled: Did I recognize the wrong person
She had seen him so many times, and although his face changed every time, even without the characteristics of silver hair and red eyes, his temperament was very special, enough for her to recognize him at a glance.
She won't admit her mistake.
However, the other party had no intention of talking, so Lu Yao gave up the idea of taking the initiative to strike up a conversation.
Now that we have met, the line is connected.
She is not in a hurry at all.
.
Zheng Siyao didn't expect to suddenly receive a notice to go on a business trip with the young Professor An, so she hurriedly packed her luggage and rushed to the station.
Professor An booked the tickets first, but the ticket must be picked up in person with ID.
Zheng Siyao arrived at the station and picked up her ticket, checked it and found a seat all in one go.
After putting down her luggage and sitting down to catch her breath, Zheng Siyao noticed An Yan sitting in front of her and immediately stood up to greet him.
An Yan is the youngest professor in the Super Power Research Institute. He has natural super powers, is good-looking, a bit eccentric and taciturn, but is a hot topic in the institute.
There are very few violent researchers in the Super Power Research Institute, and each one is more arrogant than the other.
Although An Yan doesn't like to talk to people, he treats everyone the same, which makes him more likable.
Zheng Siyao worked at the Super Energy Research Institute for a year and became An Yan's assistant three months ago.
An Yan was really dull, and it was difficult for ordinary people to communicate with him normally, so he changed many assistants.
Zheng Siyao was able to be transferred to his side thanks to her superpowers.
Zheng Siyao has sharp hearing and can hear the thoughts of others within a hundred meters.
The voice of the heart does not refer to the specific thoughts in a person's mind, but the frequency of the heartbeat and the subtle reactions of the internal organs. It is used to infer a person's personality, behavior, and state, and even to make some predictions based on it. It is probably the auditory version of telepathy.
Zheng Siyao felt a little strange. An Yan's heartbeat was slightly faster than usual, but he didn't seem angry.
After working together for three months, Zheng Siyao understands An Yan better than anyone else.
His mood rarely fluctuated like this. Most of the time, it was like the sea in the middle of the night, with something terrifying lurking beneath the calm surface.
At this moment, An Yan's heartbeat was not only slightly faster, but he even felt a little... joyful.
Zheng Siyao observed for a while but couldn't find any clues. She looked down and saw someone next to An Yan and was slightly stunned.
She hadn't noticed this person at all just now. She listened carefully and her face changed.
Zheng Siyao gently pushed An Yan's shoulder, her voice trembling: "An... Professor An."
An Yan frowned, a little unhappy: "What's the matter?"
Zheng Siyao pointed to the side beside him, "That... that girl has no heartbeat."
Lu Yao was leaning back in his chair in a daze. He turned his head when he heard the voice and asked, "Huh?"
Zheng Siyao stepped back in shock and fell onto the cushion, then immediately stood up and reached out to Lu Yao: "Are you... okay?"
Lu Yao was puzzled: "What do you mean?"
Zheng Siyao grabbed her hand, it was warm and soft, it was indeed a living person. She lowered her head, looking embarrassed: "Sorry, sorry."
The tram started moving and Zheng Siyao had to sit down, her eyes still fixed on the chair diagonally in front of her, and she listened attentively again.
An Yan's thoughts were more active than before, but the girl still remained silent.
Zheng Siyao was very confused.
Could it be that she couldn't hear what this person was thinking
This is the first time she has encountered such a situation since she awakened her abilities.
Lu Yao got off at Daimao City, and An Yan and Zheng Siyao also got off at this stop.
But when they came out of the station, they got separated.
Lu Yao didn't think much about it and called a taxi to the bus station.
At exactly the right time, the shop owner boarded the last bus to Maoroupad Town No. 4.
At eight o'clock the next evening, Lu Yao finished his work and took the tram from Daimao City back to Sanhua City.
Just as she found a seat and sat down, she saw two familiar-looking people entering the carriage.
Zheng Siyao saw Lu Yao and immediately greeted him: "Hello, we meet again."
Lu Yao nodded politely, feeling that this girl was a little strangely familiar.
An Yan's seat was still next to Lu Yao, and Zheng Siyao was behind him.
Lu Yao couldn't help but knock on the system: "What's going on? Who are they?"
The system was puzzled: [How would I know? Maybe it was just a coincidence.]
Lu Yao rested his elbows on the narrow cushions on the window sill, lowered his eyes and thought: "It's just that the coincidence is not natural."
