Chapter 1221: Beautiful Music (18)
In the study…
Old Master Wen looked at her seriously. “Yinyin, how much do you know about supernatural powers?”
Fu Yubo came to his house.
A mutant saw Ming Shu taking Zhuang Mengmeng away. There was another witness who saw everything too.
That meant that she knew about supernatural powers.
Also, based on what Fu Yubo said…
“Not a lot. When did I learn about it…” Ming Shu recalled. “Last week?”
“Last week?” Old Master Wen sized her up intently. “Did your power awaken?”
“No.”
Old Master Wen didn’t believe her. “Come over and let me take a look.”
Ming Shu walked over casually.
Old Master Wen confirmed that his granddaughter was just a normal person.
He hesitated. “Do you know that Little Shen is a mutant?”
“Yes…” Ming Shu paused. “What happened to him?”
Old Master Wen asked Ming Shu to sit down. He expected this question. He organized his words before starting his story.
“Little Shen’s parents are both mutants. Hence, he was born a mutant. However, his body was weak. No reason could be found. It was just weak.”
Ming Shu remembered what happened in the last world. This happened too…
He was still fine last time. Did his health get worse?
Luo Yan didn’t appear in this world. Just as expected, he can’t be trusted.
If a lunatic could be trusted, pigs could fly!
“Are you a mutant too?”
Old Master Wen sighed. He nodded. “There are three kinds of supernatural powers. Offensive, auxiliary, and special. Offensive supernatural powers are the most powerful. Auxiliary supernatural powers are not strong while special supernatural powers are hard to find. Little Shen’s power is a special kind.”
“Then you must have an auxiliary kind of supernatural power. It must have something to do with our medical background.”
The child of a mutant had a 50% probability of becoming a mutant too.
However, Old Master Wen’s children were not mutants. His granddaughter was not as well.
Old Master Wen wasn’t disappointed with this result. That meant that they could lead a normal life.
If he had a choice, he wouldn’t want to have any supernatural powers.
“Yinyin, I brought you here because I’m afraid that… your supernatural power will get activated one day. However, looking at the situation now, you probably don’t have any supernatural power.”
Old Master Wen didn’t know if he should feel relieved or worried.
By rights, if she didn’t have supernatural powers, he would not tell her all this.
But, life is always filled with surprises.
She had come in contact with supernatural powers without his knowledge.
“Yinyin, since you know about supernatural powers now, you must not tell a normal person about this. You cannot let other people know that you know about it, either.”
Supernatural powers were a secret kept by a small portion of human beings.
They kept this secret and lived with it. Even though they were powerful, they couldn’t use their powers at will.
People with auxiliary supernatural powers were still fine. They were just better in a certain aspect as compared to other normal humans. Hence, they would not be discovered easily.
“Zhuang Mengmeng…” Ming Shu looked at Old Master Wen. “What about her?”
Old Master Wen shook his head. “That child is special. She was immune to all other supernatural powers. I heard that many mutants wanted to capture her.”
Ming Shu sighed. The female protagonist was always the target of others. This would never change.
“So what if they catch her? Can they eat her up?”
Old Master Wen didn’t notice anything amiss with Ming Shu’s words. He frowned. “A mutant can take over the power of another mutant. This is forbidden by the law, but most mutants still do it in order to become more powerful.”
Ming Shu raised her eyebrows slightly.
So this was what Zhuang Mengmeng meant…
Ming Shu thought about Lu Zhan. “A mutant can have many supernatural powers?”
“Yes,” Old Master Wen replied. “However, there are limitations. For instance, fire and water element powers cannot coexist. Based on current data, a person can have at most three supernatural powers. The body cannot handle any more than that.”
…
Old Master Wen didn’t know much about Zhuang Mengmeng. Zhuang Mengmeng’s power was discovered by the Supernatural Power Administration. Her information was kept there.
The Supernatural Power Administration was the official organization that governed the mutants.
Ming Shu asked about other organizations but Old Master Wen didn’t answer her. He told her that it had nothing to do with her.
However, from what Old Master Wen said, there were quite a few organizations that were on the opposite side of the Supernatural Power Administration.
These organizations used their powers to do things against the law.
Thinking about it, this was a normal development.
If you had supernatural powers, but the authorities didn’t allow you to use them, as a hot-blooded person, you probably wouldn’t listen to the authorities, either.
Supernatural powers…
Old Master Wen introduced Ming Shu to the person who would be protecting her the next day. Ming Shu didn’t need any protection. She wouldn’t be able to unleash her potential if there was someone beside her.
However, Old Master Wen was afraid that something would happen to her so he didn’t give in.
In the end, Ming Shu had to accept her bodyguard.
Luckily, her bodyguard would only protect her secretly so she didn’t have to see him.
The next day, as Ming Shu was eating breakfast, she saw the new servants bringing breakfast up many times.
Tsk.
Pampered.
Ming Shu grabbed a piece of bread and left the villa. When she walked out of the villa, she purposely walked to the side and looked at Yu Shen’s window.
The curtain was drawn. Someone seemed to be standing behind the curtain. However, when she looked up, the figure was gone.
Ming Shu smiled. She continued on her journey to school.
After two days of holiday, most of the students were rushing through their homework.
She had to thank Yu Shen for what he did yesterday night. She had no choice but to wake up so she decided to finish her homework then.
She should reward herself with two bags of snacks.
“Yinyin, what are you playing?”
Jiang Le and Cheng Xiang came to find Ming Shu.
Ming Shu said slowly, “I’m talking to a big brother.”
Jiang Le didn’t care about who she was talking to. “Have you finished your homework? Let me copy it.”
Cheng Xiang’s eyes lit up. “Please help me!”
Ming Shu glanced at him. “How many bags of snacks?”
“There will definitely be enough.”
Ming Shu took out her homework and passed it to them.
Jiang Le and Cheng Xiang started copying her homework. They managed to finish before the lesson started.
The third lesson ended.
A piece of news spread among the students.
Huang Xiaolu transferred to another school.
“Why did she transfer? Nothing happened to her, right? She didn’t mention anything about transferring on Friday…”
“Did something happen?”
“I don’t know.”
“Maybe something happened to her family. Also, it’s good that she transferred. I don’t like her.”
“Why didn’t you say it when she was here?”
“She was so fierce. I didn’t dare…”
Many rumors about her spread. Some people even said that she was expelled.
Ming Shu didn’t know what happened to Huang Xiaolu on Friday. If the big brother belonged to the Supernatural Power Administration, Huang Xiaolu would have been handled by them.
