I get stronger by sunbathing, just like Superman.

As he spoke, he stretched out his arm and pointed to his watch, saying:

"Look, it's already lunchtime... If you want to take another bus, you'll have to wait for several hours!"

You don't know how lazy these local white guys are, they're always dragging their feet..."

Even though Elena ignored him, the driver kept talking, and his final sentence, "I'll be off work after this trip," made Elena waver slightly...

She looked around and saw that there were no other cars, and the person she was waiting for hadn't arrived yet. Plus, the sun was blazing, making it hard for her to open her eyes…

'They're probably busy with something important...'

Elena thought to herself that she could tell him when they arrived at their destination, and then she pulled her suitcase up again. The driver even ran out of the car to help her stuff it into the trunk...

Please go to this address…

Elena fastened her seatbelt in the back seat and handed the driver a note.

"OK...we'll be there in twenty-five minutes!"

The driver glanced at the note, stepped on the gas, and sped away, chatting casually with Elena along the way…

The latter took off her handbag and put it aside, enjoying the coolness brought by the air conditioning, which made her feel much better. So, out of politeness, she responded with a few words.

After driving for about ten minutes, the car suddenly shook twice, then slowly came to a stop at a relatively deserted intersection...

"Damn old car!"

The bald driver kept cursing and tried to start the engine several times, but to no avail. He then turned back to Elena with an apologetic expression and said:

"I'm sorry, ma'am... as you can see, my livelihood is out of commission, you'll have to take another vehicle..."

"what?"

Elena was visibly upset. After arguing for a bit, the driver pointed to the bus stop across the street, showed her the route, and assured her that he wouldn't charge her any money. Left with no other option, Elena angrily got off the bus…

But just as her feet touched the ground and she was about to turn around to get her bag, the taxi suddenly made a loud rumble!

Before Elena could even reach the bag strap, the car sped off with a screeching sound of tires burning the ground!

She was so startled she almost fell to the ground, and after a second of stunned silence, she cried out:

My bag!!

There are also boxes!

But the taxi disappeared in the blink of an eye…

"Can anyone help me... call the police..."

She asked passersby for help, but was met only with indifference and shakes of the head. Helpless, Elena touched the necklace on her chest... then, with a bitter face, she walked back towards the terminal...

The driver, who had already driven several blocks, excitedly pounded the steering wheel to the rhythm of the upbeat music on the radio, then emptied everything out of Elena's bag with one hand... lipstick... makeup mirror... lip balm, and finally his eyes locked onto her wallet.

He gripped the steering wheel skillfully with one hand, while his other hand deftly opened his wallet, counting the crisp, brand-new banknotes inside...

The driver, lost in his joy, was unaware that about thirty kilometers above him...

A cold gaze was fixed on him.

……

……

Elena, drenched in sweat from walking under the scorching sun, sat down to rest on the roadside steps. All her belongings, including her phone, were in her bag; she had no money on her and couldn't even afford a bus ride…

Just as she was angrily propping her head up and cursing herself for being such an idiot... a pair of feet appeared in front of her. She looked up and saw an incredibly tall and strong Asian youth with ordinary casual clothes, short black hair, and a sunny and handsome face.

"Beautiful lady, is this what you lost?"

It wasn't until the young man spoke that Elena realized... he was carrying her bag and suitcase, but how did he get them?

However, the joy of getting her things back made her temporarily forget about the problem. After thanking him repeatedly, she took the bag and suitcase from him... and then looked the young man over...

She felt like she'd seen him somewhere before... and his figure and appearance seemed very familiar...

But why can't I remember?

Suddenly… the young man closed his eyes… and when he opened them again, Elena gasped in astonishment…

"thunder?!"

She immediately dropped her bag and suitcase, cheered, and jumped onto Lei Ming, her small, white fists gently pounding his back. Then she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him passionately…

After a brief moment of intimacy, the two separated.

"Ray, how did you do that? Why didn't I recognize you?"

Elena asked curiously, without inquiring about the taxi, because she knew that if this man wanted to get her things back... even if the driver drove the car into space, he wouldn't be able to escape.

"This is a kind of psychological suggestion ability..."

It's like powerful hypnosis; if I wanted to… no one could recognize me…

Lei Ming smiled and answered her question...

Similarly, this is one of the abilities derived from mastering telepathy, and he personally finds it quite useful.

Elena was initially surprised upon hearing this, then looked somewhat dejected.

She felt she was one of the 'anyone' Lei Ming was referring to, because she believed that as the woman Superman liked, she should at least have something special about her… for example, while others might not recognize him, she could recognize him at a glance…

But in reality... she, an ordinary person, can only be one of those 'anyones'.

"what happened?"

Lei Ming asked in confusion.

Elena regained her composure and flashed a sly smile. "Don't you have mind-reading abilities? Why are you asking me?"

"Well... actually, unless it's absolutely necessary, my 'mind-reading' ability is usually 'off'..."

"Oh~?"

Elena tilted her head with interest and said:

"'Closed' status?"

So that means... if I had called your name in my mind just now... you wouldn't have heard a thing?

"That's not true..."

Lei Ming shook his head, thought for a moment, and explained, "To give an example..."

It's like I've locked myself in a completely soundproof room, and no matter how loud the people outside are... I can't hear them.

Only those who have the 'key'... can unlock the door and let me hear their voices.

Of course… if I don’t want to hear someone’s voice, I can always take the ’key’ back, or give it back to them…”

"Oh...I see..."

Elena listened attentively, nodding gently as she looked up at him, her hand still lightly stroking Lei Ming's ear. She then slowly leaned closer to Lei Ming's ear and whispered softly...

"Then... how many people's voices can you hear..."

"...everyone."

"What does that feel like...?"

Lei Ming was silent for a moment, then said seriously:

"It's so painful...it feels like my head is being ripped apart..."

"Yeah……"

At this moment, Elena had moved her face from beside his ear to right in front of his eyes... gazing at him with alluring eyes and speaking in a seductive tone...

I will help you…

Wipe away...all the pain...

Then she kissed him tightly again and wouldn't let go.

Lei Ming put his arm around her waist... and with his other hand picked up his handbag and suitcase, he rose directly into the sky...

……

...

At night, the International Space Station transmitted a strange photo to the ground-based space agency: a car floating in the vast expanse of space...

Everyone present gathered around the large screen, staring at it with incredulous expressions…

"Is this... a taxi?"

It seems like it's inside...

There's another person!?

……
