Chapter 28 Wake Up(1/2)
Before the sun rose, the sky was already bright, and the chirping birds were rising and falling in the forest.
They shuttle back and forth between the branches, looking for early-washing insects to have a full meal.
A sparrow fell onto a huge rock with a blue worm in his arms, pecking at the hard-earned breakfast like a sewing machine.
Suddenly, the giant rock moved, and the sparrow was frightened by the movement, quickly picked up the insect and flew to the side. As soon as it left, the giant rock was overturned to the ground, and a white palm lifted the fallen leaves and landed on the edge of the big pit.
"This is what it feels like to be alive."
Ai Liang climbed up from the pit and breathed in fresh air, his face full of intoxication.
Just looking at his current performance, it is difficult to associate it with that cold-faced academic master. If others see him, they will probably think that he is Ai Liang's twin brother.
"Five years, what do you know how I spent these five years."
Ai Liang is like an old ghost who has just taken over a young body or a muscular atrophy patient who has been paralyzed for many years and has recovered from his health. He keeps flirting with his palms, repeatedly clenching his fists, loosening and clenching his fists.
Ai Liang felt everything around him with his body. The breeze blew the coolness of his cheeks, the touch of his feet on the ground, and the fragrance of wild flowers in the air. All of this is so nostalgic that it reminded him of the past.
......
Ten years ago, Ai Liang had just awakened not long ago, and with his twenties and his five-year-old body, he embarked on the path of superhero with full expectations. However, in just a few months later, he tasted the consequences of abuse of superpowers.
During a police pursuit, the criminal gang got the news in advance and fled, and the police fled.
When everyone was helpless, Ai Liang, who was secretly observing the police process, planned to be a hero. He covered the entire Neihua city with his mental power, trying to use this method to find the criminals who fled everywhere.
There must be more troubles than happiness in this world, and tragedy far exceeds comedy.
That time, Ai Liang read not only the voices of the arrested people, but also the voices of nearly ten million people in the entire city.
Hiring murder, organ smuggling, patient wailing, campus bullying, and the darkness hidden in the corner of the city can be clearly seen by Ai Liang.
The despair and fear before death, the torture of illness, the anger in the hearts of the victims, and the jealousy and greed of people on weekdays, all of this was accepted by Ai Liang.
In contrast, those positive emotions of happiness and optimism are not worth mentioning under the huge malice.
Since then, Ai Liang has never provided any information about criminals to the police. The evaluation of him in the evaluation files in the police station has reversed 180 degrees. The people in Chaoyang, who are righteous, have become executioners who regard human lives as if they are mustard. The title has also changed from the "historm" that Ai Liang calls himself to become the police obtaining the code name "Settled Demon".
In the next five years, Ai Liang put on a windbreaker and a short sword to transform into Ai Tusheng.
Later, Shi Feng changed Ailiang's code name to "extra-legal sanctioner" under the banner of being too bloody. Although the old name was erased on the archives, it was passed down from the black area.
Five years later, Ailiang was ten years old, and Neva City had steadily entered the top three in the Asian Union's perennial crime rate, and the infamous city of crime became an excellent model city with good public security.
At that time, there was a saying circulating in the black area: 'If you are caught by the police, you may still be saved, and be targeted by the slit throat maniac. You either choose to settle yourself or surrender yourself. The former can give yourself a pleasure. If his schedule is very full, how long you can live in the latter depends on how many years you are sentenced to.'
At that time, Ailiang was the sword of Damocles hanging completely over the heads of all criminals. As long as he crossed a certain line, he would inevitably be attacked by him, not accepting mediation, and unable to communicate. He was like a Tindaross hound hidden in the dark, peeking at your every move in secret. Once he touched that blurry boundary, he would drag into the darkness and tear open his throat.
Since Ai Liang knew everyone's secrets, he could find the criminal by just following the impression in his memory. In the first two months, he cleaned up more than a dozen underground forces.
Therefore, he was once rumored to be a ghost of revenge, and there were also various versions of strange powers and chaos. One of the reasons for his retirement listed by Muss was adapted from this.
Seeing this, everyone should treat Ai Liang as a super teenager who has been influenced by negative emotions and has embarked on the path of hunting evil people, but this is not the case.
Ai Liang was indeed affected and was indeed doing the hunting of criminals, but in fact it was just a means he chose to vent his negative emotions.
After receiving the malice of the entire city, Ai Liang quickly used his mental ability to transfer all these negative emotions, but it was inevitably affected to a certain extent.
Ai Liang was worried that one day he would break the bottom line and turn into a tyrannical demon. In order to vent the darkness in his heart, he picked up a short knife and pointed it at the criminals.
If he insists on saying something, the ratio of punishing evil people and venting catharsis is about 50% and 50% of the points. He can see clearly from this that he is not suitable for becoming a superhero.
If you want to divide the camp, Ai Liang is likely to be a chaotic and kind person. He will only do what he thinks is right. He will be polite by the rules on weekdays, but at some special times he will regard the rules as nothing.
For example, if a friend who is not in good relationship comes with a bottle of canned beer and asks Ailiang to have two glasses, then he will thank him politely before refusing, and then throw the beer into the trash can.
Or they would take the commission to make money while cleaning up the gang, but they would disdain the gold banknotes in the safe in the villa and would not take any of them.
During the period from the age of ten to fifteen, the security environment in Nehua City was very good, and there were almost no major criminal cases. Ailiang retired and put his focus back on his campus life, which is for three years in junior high school.
Because he was too deeply affected by negative emotions, and his five-year hunting career made him completely different from his normal students in terms of temperament.
Ai Liang had no choice but to choose a stupid method, which was to withdraw his consciousness from his body, and reactions such as joy, anger, sorrow and happiness were controlled by the brain and were passive. The memories belonging to the soul consciousness were controllable, so that only the memories remaining in the body would not affect him.
On weekdays, I feel like I am playing a virtual reality game, controlling my body to complete various actions, which leads to few emotional fluctuations on Ai Liang's face and almost never laughed.
Therefore, he became a cold-faced weirdo in the eyes of his classmates and a lone genius. No one wanted to be friends with him, but this result was better than scaring people to cry just by just taking a look.
Ai Liang has undergone psychotherapy three times in ten years: the first time was when he first received malice, the second time was when he retired as a "histor" five years ago, and the third time was just now.
This time he cleared more than 90% of the negative memories in his brain. To explain it in the game, the degree of chaos dropped from 99% to 9%, which would no longer affect normal life.
......
Ai Liang pressed the turn on button, and the phone just vibrated for a while and then stopped moving.
"The phone is out of battery...it seems that I should have been sleeping for quite a while this time."
Put your phone in your pocket and Ai Liang turned around and walked to the edge of the pit.
"These things should be buried here, and it may not be impossible to take them back anyway."
I saw Ai Liang lightly lit his toes, and the dust around him poured into the pit, burying the motorcycle and tent. After that, he moved the big stone to the pit to compact it.
After doing all this, Ai Liang stretched and went back without such trouble. He saw Ai Liang floating in the air and flew straight towards the city of Neihua City.
I rode a motorcycle for the camera to see. After all, I couldn't hide the fact that he and Moos met. Neva is not the "San Andreas" ten years ago. Neihua is more or less the "San Andreas" of the underground forces have been installed by the police to a greater or lesser extent.
When you come back, you don’t need to pay attention to the monitoring along the road. You don’t need to walk along the road when flying. Just lock in the destination and rush forward directly. The routes chosen by Ailiang are all forest wastelands, and you will never be discovered while driving along the way.
In order to avoid sonic booms, Ailiang flew at a speed of more than 200 meters per second. It has to be said that the thing about chanting power is really convenient.
Ailiang stopped as he approached the city.
He stared at the city that had lived for more than ten years, and the joy of regaining the five senses of his body was also dispersed by the memories of the past.
Ai Liang knew in his heart that if he continued to use mental abilities such as mind reading, he would sooner or later fall into darkness again.
No one can guarantee that he has never done anything wrong.
There are no vain men under the reputation, and there are no sages under the mind.
Besides, some abilities are not controlled at all. Telepathy, perception of good and evil are passive skills. Ai Liang can clearly sense the true feelings hidden under the smiling mask of others.
Even if you don’t use your mental power to spy on other people’s brains, Ai Liang will be disturbed by these spam information drifting in the air. Just like when you sleep at night, your neighbors will use electric drills to decorate next door, which makes you want to pierce your eardrums.
At first, Ai Liang was interested in observing other people's emotions, but he became bored soon. Will you care about how the pedestrians who passed by him are in a passive mood? This ability is passive to observe. Others are in a good mood. If they meet a bad guy, it feels like a perverted and vulgar man insisting on showing you the ladies' underwear they wore today, which is hard to describe.
Every five years, Ai Liang's ability will undergo a qualitative change, and a bunch of messy knowledge will suddenly appear in his brain. The ability to close is exactly the method he has just learned in the past few days.
Ai Liangyao looked at the skyscrapers in the distance and silently closed his eyes to seal all his abilities, leaving only the motivation to remember. Anyway, he had enough of it for so many years.
The hidden nature of the mind power is extremely high. Don’t worry about being discovered. Moreover, if you have been with him for many years, you will be very uncomfortable in life. It is not too late to unblock other abilities when you need them.
......
Returning from the balcony, Ailiang opened the bedroom door and the lights in the room were still on, proving that no one had been here in the past few days.
Ailiang looked at the electronic calendar and found that it had been four days since the day he left, so it was no wonder that his phone automatically turned off.
After turning off the desk lamp, Ailiang connected the phone to the data cable. Although there is wireless charging, it is wired faster.
Five minutes later, Ai Liang turned on his phone and immediately several missed calls popped up.
All of them were called by Yue Qihua, Ma Yu and others, and there was no name Ai Liang expected.
Ai Liang chuckled.
‘As sure, I am a dispensable existence to them. They don’t know that their son has been missing for several days, or they know but don’t care.’
Ai Liang discovered that his situation at this home was like a vending machine placed in front of a beverage store. They were all family members, but they were a lot of extravagance.
From childhood to adulthood, Ai Liang had almost no contact with the two, and even asked the nanny to attend the parent meetings in primary schools. Even New Year's Eve took turns to attend the New Year's Eve.
When he was ten years old, Ai Liang never celebrated the New Year with his family again. He was reading books alone in a deserted house.
But this is good. When you become an adult at the age of sixteen, you can draw a clear line with them and live alone without any psychological burden. This is a decision that is beneficial to both parties.
After thinking it through, Ai Liang called back Yue Qihua's number.
"Well...who, early in the morning..." Yue Qihua's voice was a little hoarse, and she murmured in a low accent before she woke up.
"Ailiang."
"Ai Liang...where have you been away these days, and you still don't answer the phone."
"The phone suddenly couldn't charge, and it just got ready."
“…I thought you blocked us all.”
Yue Qihua and the others called Ailiang for several consecutive days, so they had this suspicion.
"Then are you at home in the afternoon? I'll get my schoolbag."
It’s not a big deal to always keep your schoolbags in other people’s houses. You’ll have to get them back sooner or later, so why not go there today.
As for why it is afternoon, the reason is very simple. Yue Qihua once said during a chat at school that the nanny hired at home usually comes to clean the room and cook lunch in the morning and leave in the afternoon.
Ai Liang chose to meet in the afternoon to avoid meeting their nanny.
But after hearing this, Yue Qihua was strangely silent for a while.
"What's wrong?"
To be continued...
