Chapter Seventeen Mr. Mu's Helplessness
What happens after ()?
Looking at the scenery outside the Four Seasons Manor, Shen Tong's mood slowly calmed down. He clearly realized that now was not the time to consider these issues. After all, Nastine's body was provided by Rost. As long as he said a word, he would Even the life we have now will be lost in an instant.
"Are you awake?"
A vicissitudes of voice came from the door behind Shen Tong. Shen Tong looked back and saw a silver-haired elder slowly walking over with a deer-head staff.
Although he looks to be in his fifties, he is dressed in a snow-white silk gown that is extremely delicate. Compared with the strong black suit when I first saw him that day, he looks a little more immortal and has a natural drooping look. His two beards would sway slightly as he walked, implicitly revealing an irresistible affinity.
"Are you Mr. Mu?"
Shen Tong was stunned and remembered the name Nastin had mentioned to him just now. This Mr. Mu was naturally the elder he saw when he fled to the door that day.
"Well, it seems that your memories have been merged?" the elder said, something complicated flashed in his eyes.
"How do you know?" Shen Tong asked with his eyes widened and a little surprised. It was impossible for anyone to hear the conversation just now.
As if he had guessed his thoughts, the old man slowly walked over and sat on a bench.
"I don't remember telling you my name—"
Shen Tong suddenly realized it and continued, "Yes, he and I may be able to communicate in some way -"
"This is normal. Although his memory was severely damaged, Qianzi extracted it for him after all, and the remaining part has been recorded in your memory chip," the old man said, as if he had some kind of expectation. ."Did he mention anything to you?"
"Nastin asked me to take care of his sister, and he is a very competent brother -" Comrade Shen said, "How is his sister doing now? I heard from him that Qianzi's injuries were quite serious."
"Qianzi and that blond boy Mana have been sent to a safe place by my two apprentices. After all, he has done such a thing, and Rost is unlikely to let her go easily." The old man said, but obviously this was not his last. concerned about that question, and then asked, "Is there anything else?"
Shen Tong thought for a while, "And his girlfriend - but I didn't agree to that."
"Well, I've seen that girl before. She's a pretty good girl - but this is your business. It's up to you to handle it. I will also arrange Qianzi in a safe place. When she gets better, I can let you If you go to accompany him, you can do something for Nastine." The old man continued, "Didn't he mention something about your superpower?"
"Superpower?" Shen Tong was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that Nastin had mentioned it to him, "He said that my superpower has disappeared."
"Sure enough -" there was a sense of loss in the old man's eyes, and he sighed, "Oh, poor child -"
"Anyway, it's over. Even without my powers, my fighting ability is pretty good. Self-preservation is not a problem -" Shen Tong said optimistically, "By the way, he seems to have said that you can still help me in this regard." ?”
"Help you?" The old man smiled helplessly, "I can help you, but it depends on your luck——"
"I think my luck has always been pretty good. Just like this rebirth, and having such a great body - are you talking about what conditions are needed?" said Tong Shen.
"You can understand that-"
"How do you say it?" Shen Tong immediately became interested. Although losing the power is not a big deal after all, if it can be recovered, it will naturally be better than nothing.
"The existence of people with superpowers is a trend of survival of the fittest, and the emergence of superpowers also appears in a complementary manner, such as water and fire in the natural system, wind and rain, control and silence in the spiritual system, Wait," the old man continued.
"But there is a type of auxiliary character that is extremely rare. They neither restrain other attributes nor are they restrained by other attributes, but they can cooperate with the superpowers of other attributes to exert a greater degree of ability. However, Even the Fathers of Supernatural Working Group cannot search for these superhumans using conventional methods – they are simply too rare.”
"You mean - the person who can help me is one of these people?" Shen Tong vaguely understood what the old man meant.
"You are right. Although there is no information about them in the database, there is still some information circulating. A few years ago, a person with superpowers appeared. He can easily help other people with superpowers awaken their superpowers, and even strengthen them. An incredible situation. Although your superpower has temporarily disappeared, it does not mean that the energy contained in your body has also disappeared." The old man said.
"If I can find him, not only will my powers be restored, but maybe they will be able to rise to a new level?" Shen Tong said in surprise.
"That's true, but there is too little information about this person. I have traveled to many places in the world during my medical practice over the years, and I have come into contact with all kinds of people with supernatural powers, but there is really very little information about him. It's just a legend. Finding him is even harder than finding a needle in a haystack -" The old man used two needles in a row. In his opinion, if you can encounter such an opportunity, you can't have it just by luck.
The interest Shen Tong mentioned just now was dampened by the old man's pouring of cold water, but since this kind of rumor exists, it is still credible after all.
"According to your theory just now, although such a powerful auxiliary ability does not have conflicting attributes, it may bear some huge risks. In addition, once this ability is known to too many people, they will definitely find ways to Get close to him and try to squeeze out all his abilities -" Shen Tong carefully deduced.
"That's why he hid deeper -" The old man nodded with deep understanding. Shen Tong's analysis was the same as his original idea. Benefits and risks are always proportional, just like Nastin had obtained Ray before. The attributes are the same, so you can't just sit back and enjoy the results.
Only with talent and extraordinary hard work can one become the pinnacle of his kind.
However, the current situation is that, let alone the peak, even when Shen Tong encounters other people with special abilities, it is difficult to even protect himself.
If Mel cannot be protected and his own abilities cannot be restored, whether Rost will allow himself to continue to exist is a serious question.
Thinking of this, Shen Tong immediately put away the relaxed expression on his face just now.
The old man seemed to see Shen Tong's worry, and then added, "Although it is difficult to find this person, there is one thing you should be thankful for. I have visited so many places, and rumors about him have only appeared in this country, and it is you. This is where I live now.”
"You mean - Los Angeles?" Tong Shen said.
"Actually, you don't have to be too surprised if you want to be here. Because of Rost's existence, 80% of the people with supernatural powers in the world have gathered here." The old man said, "The rest depends on your luck. I should leave too. There’s only so much I can do to help you.”
"Are you leaving?" Shen Tong was stunned for a moment. Although he had not been with Mr. Mu for a long time, Mr. Mu's strong affinity made Shen Tong reluctant to part with him.
"It's time for me to go see Qianzi and Mana. They have suffered a lot because of you, especially Mana. His life is hanging by a thread. I will let you know when they get better." The old man said. After saying that, he stood up and walked out.
"Then how should I contact you when I have questions?" Shen Tong asked quickly.
"You'd better not know. It won't do you or Qianzi any good." As soon as he finished speaking, the old man's figure quickly disappeared outside the door, leaving Shen Tong to see only a few afterimages.
Looking at the old man walking away in an instant, Shen Tongxin felt a little disappointed. After coming here for so long, this was the first person who made him feel so friendly.
After leaving Four Seasons Manor, Shen Tong drove the car that Mr. Mu had given him before and returned to his villa in Lanye Community. However, before he could enter, a familiar license plate number stopped at the front entrance of Shen Tong's villa.
Lankes? Shen Tong's first reaction was him. He hadn't seen him for a few days since he left first while drinking last time.
Shen Tong parked the car next to him, got out of the car and walked to Lankes' car window, only to find that Lankes was still sleeping inside.
Shen Tong knocked on the window gently. Not only did Lankes not respond at all, he even snored as if in protest.
So Shen Tong knocked hard again.
"Are you bothering me? I'm going to go find the Rost Group with the ticket, or I'll die -" Lankes said without opening his eyes, turned over in the car and continued to sleep.
"If you don't do it, I'm afraid Rost Group won't pay the fine for you!"
Shen Tong said helplessly and turned to leave. Immediately after being single, there was a sound of unlocking the door, and Lankes immediately came up with a clever idea.
"Mr. Shen Tong, you're back!" Lankes rubbed his sleepy eyes and said with force.
"Why don't you go to sleep in the house?" Shen said.
"Well... it's quite comfortable to sleep in this car -" Lankes said helplessly.
Originally, Lankes could rest at Shen Tong's house these days when Shen Tong was away, but Lankes happened to look at the hot smart housekeeper Kong Kong, and suddenly had some evil thoughts. After being discovered by Kong Kong, Lankes had no idea. He was invited out of the house without mercy.
You know, the villa that Rost gave to Shen Tong was armed! But Lankes seemed to have forgotten this at the time. Of course, it was impossible for Lankes to say this as Shen Tong took the initiative.
"Did you come here because Rost asked you to pick me up?" Shen Tong didn't want to pursue this question, but after just experiencing the incident at Four Seasons Manor, Shen Tong felt that Rost could not let it go like this.
"Mr. Shen Tong, you are really powerful. Boss Rost said that if you come back, please go to the company as soon as possible." Lankes said with a sigh of relief.
"Then let's go now -" said Comrade Shen.
