"What are you thinking about?" On the car back to the city, Yang Feiyan asked Zheng Yubai who had been silent.
Zheng Yubai shook his head: "Nothing."
"You must be thinking about what Uncle Zhang said. In fact, he has been studying the source of super powers in recent years. He said that only by figuring out how we get super powers can we find the final answer."
Zheng Yubai looked at Yang Feiyan's rare serious look and couldn't help asking, "What he said is really magical, similar to the sudden enlightenment mentioned in Zen Buddhism. We also have a similar practice method in boxing, but it is too dangerous. Throughout history, few people have been able to succeed."
Yang Feiyan lowered her head: "Do you want to know how I have super powers?"
Just now in the Superman Research Institute, Zhang Daosheng told Zheng Yubai many examples of people who acquired superpowers. Some people's superpowers are innate, and some are acquired later, but they all have one thing in common, that is, all the superhumans suddenly acquired their abilities after experiencing a near-death experience.
Bianjing, who has super hearing, was diagnosed with chromosomal abnormalities while still in the womb, but because it was discovered late, induced labor could not be performed. The day before he was born, his mother fell down the stairs and caused heavy bleeding. Bianjing was born when his mother was dying, but his chromosomal abnormalities not only did not bring him disability, but instead gave him the ability of super hearing.
Dong Ying was originally an ordinary university chemistry professor. He did not have any superpowers until he was 35 years old. Once, when he was conducting an experiment, the equipment suddenly malfunctioned and he inhaled a large amount of toxic gas. If he were an ordinary person, he would have died dozens of times. But Dong Ying not only escaped from the gates of hell, but also had hands that could corrode objects.
The same is true for Zhang Daosheng, Ren Changxing and Lin Xia. They have all encountered similar life-and-death situations, and then inexplicably gained super powers.
Yang Feiyan was not mentioned in the previous conversation, and Zheng Yubai did not ask much. Because this kind of experience is sometimes a painful memory for the person involved. At this moment, Yang Feiyan seemed a little sad. Zheng Yubai didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only say softly: "Are you thinking of something unhappy in the past?"
Yang Feiyan raised her head, her eyes a little wet. "When I was ten years old, I came to Jinghai with my parents to visit my grandfather. The car ran through the guardrail of the highway and fell down the mountain. Both my parents died. I lay in the hospital for three months. After I was discharged, I found that I had a strange ability. I could control the movement of objects."
What she said was simple, but Zheng Yubai could feel the helplessness of a little girl facing her fate. He gently raised his arm and put it on Yang Feiyan's shoulder: "Don't be sad, you still have a grandfather, a brother, and many friends."
Yang Feiyan leaned on Zheng Yubai's shoulder and murmured, "Yes... I still have grandpa, brother, and friends. But... but I really miss mom and dad."
The scenery outside the window moved quickly and was left behind. How nice it would be if people's painful memories and emotions could also pass by so quickly without leaving a trace of remembrance? Zheng Yubai comforted Yang Feiyan's emotions while looking out the car window, feeling something in his heart.
Zhang Daosheng did not ask Zheng Yubai for help in a specific matter. Because the idea he proposed was too bizarre and dangerous. Although many of the experiences of the aliens have something in common, it cannot be proved that the experience of escaping death is the source of superpowers. After all, there are so many people who die every day in the world, and there are countless people who escape death, but not everyone can have superpowers from then on. Moreover, this kind of experiment cannot be controlled and mastered, and can only remain on the basis of theory and conjecture.
Despite this, Zheng Yubai still inquired for more information. Zhang Daosheng told Zheng Yubai that superpowers are related to genes, but they rely more on external stimulation. He has always believed that superpowers come from the potential stimulated by humans when they encounter extreme danger. When danger comes, people who can stimulate the potential of their cells and survive are equivalent to having genetic mutations, thus becoming mutants.
Although it was not clear what the cause of this change was, Zhang Daosheng still told Zheng Yubai several methods. Some of them were similar to the Taoist and internal breathing and boxing training methods, which made Zheng Yubai feel very novel and aroused his strong interest.
Anyway, today was very fruitful. After returning to the city, Zheng Yubai said goodbye to Yang Feiyan and Dong Ying, and agreed to visit the Superman Research Institute again if there was a chance.
Zheng Yubai saw their figures disappear in the crowd, just like the ordinary people in this world. This is not a comic about city heroes, but the plain real life. Supermen do not fly around in tights to fight crime and maintain peace, but have to worry about their unique bodies. There is always such a ridiculous gap between dreams and reality.
It was already past seven in the evening, so Zheng Yubai decided not to go home. He wandered around the street for a while, bought some bread and juice to fill his stomach, and then went straight to the apartment.
When Zheng Yubai walked into the office, Cao Ji was sleeping soundly on the table. It seemed that the indulgence the night before had made him very tired that day.
Caoji got up with sleepy eyes, looked at the watch, yawned and said, "I'm really old. When I was young, I could play for three or four nights without any problem. Now, if I stay up late, I will definitely be tired the next day."
Zheng Yubai smiled and said, "This means that you should honestly find a wife, have a child, and live a normal life."
Cao Ji muttered, "I want to do that, but we are Jianghu people, so we should not cause trouble for others."
Zheng Yubai looked at Caoji's expression of emotion and sighed in his heart. It seemed that he should think about finding another proper job.
"By the way, Brother Caoji, a friend of mine is planning to rent a house nearby. Can you help ask him?" Zheng Yubai suddenly remembered that he was helping Susu find a house, and hurriedly got rid of Caoji and said.
"Looking for a house? It's very simple. I'll give you my phone number and you can tell them that I introduced you to the house. If he asks for your agency fee, I'll bring people to kill him." Cao Ji rummaged through his wallet for a long time and handed Zheng Yubai a business card.
Cao Ji left after get off work, and Zheng Yubai called Susu and told her that he would take her to see a house tomorrow.
After chatting with Susu for more than half an hour, Du Bisheng pushed the door open and made a mahjong gesture to Zheng Yubai.
That night, Zheng Yubai was once again a big winner, and Qi Ye lost miserably; Xie Chunlai almost pawned his pants, muttering that he might not even be able to pay the rent for next month; Boss Tan was the big boss of the maritime smuggling group, usually very generous, but now he was also cursing after losing. Zheng Yubai's card had another 300,000 yuan in dividends, so he was considered a small rich man.
"I'm leaving in a few days." Most of the guests went back to their rooms to rest. Zheng Yubai tidied up the tables and chairs and cleaned the hall. He was about to go back to the office to take a nap when Du Bisheng, who had been silently helping him tidy up, suddenly said. (To be continued)
