Little did they know that even Qi Chongguang himself was unclear about this question. He stared blankly at his own hands. "Actually... I'm not sure either."
At first, he was also suppressed. All his items and supernatural abilities were severely restricted to the level of an ordinary person. It wasn't until one day when Yu'er (Luo Yu) went back to City C with him. On the way, they encountered another player from the system.
That person seemed to have taken on a task in this world, or perhaps not. His actions and words were very strange, but his purpose was clear. He wanted to destroy this city and build a new empire on its ruins.
He grabbed an ordinary person as a hostage and threatened more than twenty people, including Luo Yu and Qi Chongguang. The moment the weapon in his hand was pointed at Luo Yu...
Qi Chongguang's blood almost froze. At that moment, he had only one thought, which was to protect his Yu'er. Before he knew it, he had already disabled that person. Later, when he went to the police station to give a statement, he even met someone from the Special Surveillance Bureau, who asked if he would like to join.
However, his supernatural ability was unpredictable. Sometimes he could use it very smoothly, while other times it was suppressed to the extreme and he couldn't use it at all. He simply couldn't figure out the pattern, so he didn't accept the official recruitment, but he agreed to be an off - site assistant.
Qi Chongguang wondered, "But King can use his supernatural ability freely! And he seems more powerful than me. With a wave of his hand, everything disappears."
Shen Zhong's eyes widened. How could this be!
When he met Huo Qizheng recently, the latter was just an ordinary person! No, could it be that he had hidden his strength in front of me?
"How do you know it's King?"
Now it was Qi Chongguang's turn to look at him like he was an idiot. Even through the layers of the cloak and the big hood, Shen Zhong could feel his gaze. He also thought he had asked a stupid question.
Everyone's energy fluctuation of their ability was unique. Even if one could imitate the fluctuation of a supernatural ability, it would consume a huge amount of energy to imitate someone else's, and it might even damage their own energy fluctuation. Once the energy fluctuation was damaged, it was equivalent to losing the supernatural ability, so no one dared to try.
This was common knowledge in the Infinite Space. Shen Zhong was even in the top five of the leaderboard, yet he couldn't even remember such common knowledge. It seemed that he had been living too comfortably recently and had become stupid.
"Cough." Shen Zhong immediately changed the subject. "Then why did you target Gao Fei?"
As soon as this was mentioned, Qi Chongguang became extremely angry. He clenched his fists and said in a deep voice, "The hallucinogenic drugs he sold almost hurt my family. If it weren't for her good friend who saved her, I would have lost her by now."
It seemed that there were quite a few victims of the hallucinogenic drugs. Shen Zhong immediately took out his computer. "Come on, tell me the information you've got."
Let's turn to another story.
Although Zhu Shuangyao and the others had decided to give Shen Jun a surprise, they still had to buy a gift. So she went out to pick one. Coincidentally, she saw Cen Yun in the store, and they both took a fancy to the same necklace.
Cen Yun was generous and straightforward. After learning that Zhu Shuangyao was buying it as a birthday gift for someone else, she directly gave it up. Of course, Zhu Shuangyao was reluctant. After some refusal, Zhu Shuangyao still bought the necklace.
After paying the bill, Cen Yun said, "学妹, do you have time? How about we go for a meal later?"
Zhu Shuangyao readily agreed.
Cen Yun didn't choose a star - rated hotel or a private restaurant. Instead, the two of them went to an ordinary self - service hot pot restaurant. She said to Zhu Shuangyao, "The ingredients in this store are fresh, and the soup base has a mellow taste. It's one of my favorite restaurants."
When the soup base was served, she picked up some ingredients, threw them into the soup and stirred them. After taking a bite, a look of indulgence appeared on her face. "Sure enough, I still like this the most."
Zhu Shuangyao covered her mouth and laughed. "I didn't expect that senior sister likes hot pot. I thought you, like senior brother, preferred to go to more private places to eat."
"Absolutely not." Cen Yun quickly cooked a slice of mutton as thin as a cicada's wing and put it into Zhu Shuangyao's bowl. "Actually, I prefer lively places. But the people around me don't really like to come to such crowded places, and my family thinks it's not elegant to come here, so I rarely come to eat."
Zhu Shuangyao said while eating meat, "Doesn't senior brother accompany you to eat?"
When it came to Lu Jing, Cen Yun's eyes dimmed a little. Recently, the two of them had a conflict, and it was also because of family matters. She was in a bad mood, so she came out to go shopping alone.
In order to be with Lu Jing, she had cut off relations with her family. Her former friends were not allowed to contact her. Although they would secretly help her, they didn't dare to go out and play with her in public.
The friends she made later either took a fancy to her relationship with Lu Jing or the benefits in her hands. Everyone had their own motives. Counting them all, only this casually - met junior sister could accompany her to have a good meal.
She said dryly, "He's busy. So I came out by myself."
Zhu Shuangyao keenly realized that there might be some problems between them. This was no small matter! This was a problem between the male and female leads!
She pretended to say casually, "Senior sister, although senior brother is very busy, you two can occasionally take a break and go out for a meal. Otherwise, if you don't communicate for too long, your relationship may fade."
What she said hit the point in Cen Yun's heart. She suddenly had the desire to confide. Some things had been weighing on her heart for too long, but she had nowhere to talk about them.
She modified the story a bit. The junior sister should not know that she was talking about herself... Forget it, it didn't matter if she knew. It wasn't a secret anyway.
She said distressedly, "Actually, it's not a big deal... It's just that I have a friend. She had a conflict with her boyfriend because she thought her boyfriend was too controlling, but there were many things he wouldn't let others know..."
Cen Yun glanced at Zhu Shuangyao. Seeing that Zhu Shuangyao didn't react much, she continued. Actually, it was all about the matters between the Lu and Cen families. Recently, Lu Jing had been extremely busy because of the matters of the Huo family, and the two of them rarely saw each other.
The people from the Lu family were also causing trouble. They would occasionally send some ambiguous photos of Lu Jing to Cen Yun. Cen Yun had wanted to talk to Lu Jing about it countless times, but Lu Jing always avoided the topic.
Because those ambiguous photos were actually of the high - level executives of the cooperative company. Someone had deliberately found an angle to take the photos. Lu Jing couldn't just say it directly because the content of their cooperation was confidential. But if he explained it to Cen Yun, it would inevitably involve the content of the cooperation, so Lu Jing could only keep silent.
Actually, Cen Yun had been waiting for Lu Jing's explanation, but Lu Jing never explained. Even though Cen Yun trusted him, she still couldn't help but have a knot in her heart. But after all, she was reasonable and didn't want to add trouble to the busy Lu Jing. So she could only go out shopping alone in distress.
Then she met Zhu Shuangyao. Zhu Shuangyao thought that this was exactly the kind of misunderstanding plot that often happened to the male and female leads in novels. One misunderstanding after another, and if it got deeper and deeper, it would lead to a breakup.
No, no, no. They must not break up. If Cen Yun broke up with Lu Jing, Lu Jing would definitely take his anger out on others. Since Zhu Shuangyao had met Cen Yun, she might become his target for venting.
Zhu Shuangyao had finally managed to escape her fate as a cannon - fodder for the time being. She didn't want to get involved again! Moreover, the two of them clearly loved each other. There was no need for such misunderstandings...
Zhu Shuangyao swallowed a mouthful of meat, wiped her mouth and said, "This problem is very simple. To sum it up, it's just that the two of them want different things. How do you know if your friend's boyfriend is unwilling to explain or unable to explain? Senior sister, you also said that their relationship has always been good and they talk about everything. So this time when he suddenly doesn't explain, there must be a reason."
Cen Yun hesitated. "But I... My friend just has a thorn in her heart. He just simply said that these photos were fake, but I... My friend had them appraised, and the photos are real. If they were fake, why didn't he explain it to me properly? What about next time?"
Zhu Shuangyao was speechless. She had always unconditionally trusted Huo Qizheng and had never encountered a situation like Cen Yun's.
She carefully chose her words to persuade her. "Senior sister, actually I think that your... friend already has some doubts if she has such thoughts. But in my opinion, according to the personality of the person you described, he shouldn't be the kind of person who hides things. If he really betrayed your... friend, he wouldn't let your... friend catch the slightest clue. Even if it was really discovered, he would admit it openly instead of hiding it."
This was exactly Lu Jing's personality. He was scheming, shrewd and meticulous, but he would always meet Cen Yun's requests and keep his promises. If he didn't love Cen Yun deeply, Cen Yun would never be able to outwit him.
Zhu Shuangyao's words were like a flash of inspiration, which instantly enlightened Cen Yun. As Lu Jing's lover, she knew him better than Zhu Shuangyao. Lu Jing was very calculating. If he really wanted to hide something, he would never let her find the slightest trace.
There was even a gentleman's agreement between them. If one of them didn't want to continue in the future, they must bring it up openly. Lu Jing was calculating, but he would never lie to her. This was her confidence as his lover. Now, it seemed that he must have some unspeakable difficulties.
But what was clear to outsiders, she had been blinded by these photos because of her fear of loss. Once she saw it clearly, she found these tricks extremely clumsy.
She suddenly burst into laughter. Different from the somewhat gloomy smile before, this time she really let go of the big rock in her heart. Her smile was like a flower bud slowly blooming, bright and charming.
She put several pieces of meat into Zhu Shuangyao's bowl. "Junior sister, eat more. You must eat more."
Zhu Shuangyao had just finished eating. At this time, a dusty man walked into the hot pot restaurant. The man was handsome and tall, but there were dark circles under his eyes and he looked extremely tired. But as soon as he saw the woman sitting opposite Zhu Shuangyao, his eyes lit up instantly.
Lu Jing slowly walked to the table and softly called out, "Yunyun."
There was no trace of gloom in Cen Yun's smile. "A Jing, sit down quickly and eat with us."
Seeing this scene, Lu Jing immediately knew that the thorn in Cen Yun's heart had been removed. He sat down obediently and for the first time felt grateful to Zhu Shuangyao.
