"But she wasn't a psychic herself, and she didn't know how to teach me how to use my powers. Seeing my powers gradually spiraling out of control, she reported the matter to the director of the institute, hoping to contact an experienced psychic to learn more about the situation."
"We were lucky at the time. Everything went as we hoped. Seven days after we reported the incident, someone came to see my mother."
"His name is Cheng Sui. He's a smart and capable man in his 50s. He holds a very high position. Everyone at the institute calls him Mr. Cheng."
"Although he looks fierce, the kind that would scare children to tears, and speaks loudly, giving people the impression of being decisive, he is a really good person."
"Mr. Cheng awakened his supernatural powers many years ago. He was born into a special forces unit and later served in the military. He holds a high social status."
"After the examination, he told me that my superpowers were quite powerful and that controlling them was very difficult at my age. To prevent any unexpected situations, it would be best to add a limit in my head to prevent my superpowers from getting out of control."
"So my mother and I agreed. Mr. Cheng used a special hypnosis method to add a rule that can only be assimilated when a living being has an emotional breakdown, to prevent harming the pet dog from happening again."
"Since then, Mr. Cheng has come to teach me from time to time. He is really strict, but he has helped me avoid many detours and prevent similar accidents from happening again."
"Mr. Cheng Sui was once the most powerful and respectable person I knew..."
"Unfortunately, his early practice of supernatural powers damaged his body, and he had to go to the hospital to recuperate from time to time. We rarely saw each other again."
"Until the day I was about to turn 13, my mother suddenly received an order from the top management of the research institute. As an academician, she was assigned to give a scientific research lecture to the children at the orphanage in your Magic City. She specifically requested that I bring my children with me to increase their intimacy."
"To this day, I still remember that day when I first met my father. He looked and behaved like a very elegant and graceful man."
"After the lecture, he confessed directly that the Warm Furnace was actually an organization that trained and housed people with special abilities. He said that if my mother assisted them in conducting a research project, they could lead me on the right track."
"At the time, he had a letter of introduction from a senior member of the research institute, and he demonstrated sufficient knowledge and knowledge of supernatural powers, even more than Mr. Cheng's, making it believable. Because Mr. Cheng was in poor health, my mother had long been worried about my supernatural powers, so she agreed."
"At the time, I didn't know what the Holy Land Organization was, nor did I understand what a special forces unit or the military was. From the day my mother resigned as an academician at the academy, I stopped installing the stove."
"Without the status of an academician, a person disappears out of thin air. No one cares, no one cares how he is doing. My mother has been detained since that day."
"Although I had awakened my superpowers, my father didn't know that Mr. Cheng had restricted me. He thought my inability to assimilate living beings was due to an incomplete awakening. So he sent me to an experimental center called the Firstborn."
"That place is the first station for the cultivation of superpowers by the furnace. There are a large number of children who are forcibly crammed into a room like a concentration camp, with all exits closed and exposed to large amounts of radiation until they develop superpowers."
"This type of experiment has an extremely high mortality rate. 200 children are exposed each time, yet only a handful of people with special abilities are produced. Since I haven't shown any talent for assimilating living things, I've been exposed to a lot of radiation."
"Every time I watched those children who couldn't awaken wail in pain, struggling, tears and blood flowing from their mouths, unable to bear the pain, banging their heads against the steel wall and falling beside me."
"Because of my awakened powers, even though it was very uncomfortable, I was able to survive every time from the mountain of corpses. There were even many times when I was the only one crawling out."
"However, even this isn't enough. The Warmer needs elite psychics with sufficient combat power. After awakening, everyone will enter the next stage to hone their skills. The trial is not only extremely brutal, but during this period, all the children around them become competitors. They may even fight each other and tear apart those they spend every day with their blades."
"Those children whose abilities aren't strong enough and who don't have any special uses will have no other choice but to die."
"This training was too cruel. I wanted to resist, so with the help of several other fellows undergoing the trial, I used my assimilation ability to steal a guard's phone and secretly sent a message to Mr. Cheng Zhu."
"He's a member of the special forces and a high-ranking military official. I've known since I was a kid that he's incredibly powerful and has many friends in both the military and government. He used to often bring other friends with special abilities to mentor me."
"When Mr. Cheng Zhu learned about the existence of a place like the heating stove, he assured me that he would soon bring people to help us. After hearing the news, everyone was very excited, thinking that the hard times were finally coming to an end."
"However, the next day, Mr. Cheng, who I remembered as so powerful, had his limbs chopped off, his eyes, ears, and nose gouged out, and was cut into a human stick and thrown in front of everyone."
"He was struggling in agony on the ground, but could only make whimpering sounds. Blood was oozing from his entire body, and he couldn't even scream. He lost his life and warmth right in front of me."
"My father told us with a smile that someone was trying to destroy the warmth of the stove. This is the fate of those who dared to challenge the stove and the organization."
"Senior, do you understand now why I didn't tell you? It's really ridiculous when you think about it. I really don't trust my own judgment."
"I once thought Mr. Cheng Sui was powerful and influential, so I sought his help. But I ended up killing the person I respected the most with my own hands."
"This is the fate of all those who rebel, without exception, since I joined the Warming Furnace."
"If you don't resist the Holy Land Organization, you might still have a chance of survival. The ideal path is to develop powerful superpowers and become a capable person like me, working under my father to carry out missions. You'll learn how to disguise yourself, constantly switching identities to kill people in various places."
"Of course, there is another way to go. That is, when other masters with seats are short of people, they will be absorbed into the group through various exchanges with my father. After all, the heating furnace is the largest supply base for superpowers in Daxia."
"From what I know, there are currently 63 people in the Warming Furnace who have awakened their powers and are undergoing trials, not including those who were secretly trained by my father. Excluding the few you killed earlier, there should be 4 people left in the Warming Furnace who have passed the trials."
"The orphanage is equipped with traps. On the surface, it looks no different from any other facility. The rest of the facilities are buried underground, roughly divided into seven floors. The seventh floor is a place that belongs exclusively to my father. Except for a psychic who helps my father catch people, none of us can go down there. The other six floors are equipped with deadly weapons and traps."
Recalling these things buried deep in her memory, Fengtang was in a trance. She held her forehead with her hand, took a few deep breaths, and finally said in a heavy and helpless voice.
"These should be considered the overall combat power, but from what I know about my father, he will control things, and once he is in control, he will definitely borrow strength from the organization."
"That's probably the case. Whether you are willing to believe it or not depends on your opinion, senior."
"..."
After hearing these descriptions, Su Yi fell into a brief silence. If viewed from the perspective of a normal Blue Star person, this kind of thing is really too horrifying.
But from the perspective of wastelanders, using human lives to stack people with superpowers is something many forces like to do.
There are even soldiers like Lolisi who are completely brainwashed.
Even Su Yi himself was captured by the forces of the wasteland and exposed to concentrated radiation, and his supernatural powers were awakened from the mountains of corpses.
"What's with the injuries on your body? Is this also some kind of experiment?"
Su Yi glanced at Feng Tang and asked again. According to her logic, this should be someone who has passed the trial and started to carry out missions outside.
"No..." Fengtang smiled bitterly and shook his head silently.
"After the rebellion, all the children involved were killed. My abilities were unique, but my father was perhaps more interested in both my abilities and my appearance, so he punished me with other punishments."
"However, it was also during that time that he discovered that I could use my assimilation ability to heal my own injuries. No matter how severe the injury was, it could be healed instantly."
"Even if all your hair is pulled out, it can be reattached. Amputating your hands and feet won't be a big problem. Even if your body is damaged by decay and necrosis, there's no need for medicine to heal it. Painkillers can prevent you from collapsing from excessive pain."
"After all, who doesn't like a person who can't be killed no matter how much he is tortured?"
Maple Sugar said this in a self-deprecating manner.
She shudders when she recalls some of the punishments. The most terrifying one was being thrown into a bathtub full of leeches, which actually stuck to her body.
He really felt that every part of his body no longer belonged to him.
Fortunately, whether it was due to the supernatural element or karma, the leader of the furnace, her father, was an ED and had almost no interest in women and sex, which avoided this kind of torture.
Only she knows this secret best, because after it gets rid of vulgarity, it becomes a pervert in the true sense.
"However, I don't know much about my father's abilities. I only know that he has many clones. The most I've seen at any one time is 10. Each clone is almost imperceptible from the outside, and they seem to have self-awareness, with very flexible movements and language."
"Secondly, he has the ability to manipulate white threads. I don't know what they're made of, but they can easily cut through metal alloys. Sometimes I can't tell if I'm facing him or his clone."
When she still had the energy, Feng Tang thought about many situations she would face when fighting against her father. The most frustrating one was undoubtedly the inability to identify the real body, which could easily result in fighting for a long time but only killing a fake body.
What would follow would be endless counterattacks, but that was the fact, and she had no way to deal with it with her abilities.
A guy who is good at splitting himself... His real body is in the Magic City, but he can control his clone to come to Los Angeles. He has a strong control over his clone.
Los Angeles is a long way from Shanghai, and even taking the high-speed rail will take more than 4 hours.
In order to achieve this, the clone's ability must be much weaker than the original body.
Or it can be said that it is a clone of consciousness, which can separate a part of consciousness and place it on its own creation.
It's really troublesome to run so far to kill someone, although I can definitely rush over.
But everything has a price. Running back and forth like this consumes too much energy. For Su Yi, every time he consumes energy, it is irreversible, and he cannot find any replenishment on Blue Star.
I swallowed an anti-energy bomb last time and recovered a lot. If I want to go to the Magic City, I still need to use Blue Star’s transportation.
And since he wanted to bring Mu Xiaowei with him, he couldn't allow the girl to be so far away from him.
"Senior, I have told you everything I know. Now it's time for you to fulfill the promise we made to each other."
Because the energy he had just injected had been exhausted, Maple Sugar's words lost their power again.
His voice became hoarse and his face turned pale due to the severe pain all over his body. It sounded like he was saying his last words.
Su Yi frowned when he saw his appearance, reached out and took out his diary, recorded the incident on it, and then said:
"You only told me about your mother, but I don't know what kind of person she is. Do you have any photos or anything like that?"
This is quite important. You can't have to ask everyone outside when he gets to the fireplace, "Who is Maple Syrup's mother?"
Kind of stupid when you think about it.
"Yes...but it was many years ago." Feng Tang stretched out his hand and made a begging gesture.
"Give me your phone so I can log into my social media account. There are photos of my mother on it."
Hearing this request, Su Yi took out his Mi 40 phone with a Minions phone case from his arms and logged out of his account first.
In order to avoid any accidents, he sat next to Fengtang and stared at her, entered the account password with his fingers, and opened the private space album.
"Huh? Are you 22 years old?" Su Yi muttered softly.
The album is graded and divided according to age. There are many selfies about maple syrup, and the age at the top is 22 years old.
"Oh my, Senior found out... Does calling you Senior make you look old?"
Maple Sugar slid the phone screen downwards and said jokingly.
Her age would change with the role she played in different roles. Sometimes she would play an innocent girl of fifteen or sixteen, and sometimes she would play a young woman of twenty-eight or twenty-nine.
But in terms of her real age, she has just turned 22.
Su Yi snorted disdainfully: "Don't worry, you are right only on this point, and you should indeed call me senior."
When it comes to age, Su Yi will definitely not lose. He is now like Conan who has become smaller and returned to Beihua to repeat elementary school. In terms of actual age, he is definitely much older than the people around him.
Feng Tang didn't have the energy to argue with him anymore. After Fan found the photo, he handed the phone to him.
"This is it. My mother is a great beauty. Senior, please don't let her eyes blind you..."
"I'm not interested in women in their 40s."
Su Yi picked it up and took a look.
It's a group photo.
She seems to have a gentle temperament, and her mother seems to be a mixed-race. However, the childhood Fengtang in the photo looks very different from now.
His eyes were timid, and he hugged his mother's thighs tightly, as if he was afraid of strangers, with only his two small eyes showing. I was now talking too much maple syrup, and there was no way he could overlap with me.
"Okay, I'll remember it." Su Yi stared at the phone, looked at it carefully for a few times, and imprinted the appearance of Feng Tang's mother in his mind.
"I promise you this. From now on, you just need to lead the way. After he lets you see your mother, I will give you a quick death."
Hearing her say this, Feng Tang let out a long sigh, put on a helpless expression, and stretched his legs towards him:
"Senior... In my current state, let alone leading the way, it's still uncertain whether I can live to see my mother..."
"Please be kind enough to remove the shackles and allow me to use my supernatural powers to recover from my injuries. Otherwise, you will definitely break your promise."
She was in severe pain all over her body, and now she was foaming at the mouth when she spoke. If her superpowers were still suppressed, Fengtang estimated that she would 100% not live to see tomorrow.
However, Su Yi refused without any sympathy: "Impossible, you are cunning, your abilities are weird, you will not take this thing off until you die."
There was no way he would allow a person with superpowers to run around around him. He had already witnessed Feng Tang's power when Mu Xiaowei was kidnapped.
This kind of flexible and changeable ability is very tricky, not to mention that the girl herself has developed it very well.
"You are the legendary Sequence Two. I can't do anything superfluous in front of you."
"I'm not kidding. If you don't remove the shackles, my body will be the only one lying here the next day. Senior, you must keep your word! If I can't see my mother, I won't cooperate with anything!"
"Cough cough cough——" Fengtang started coughing violently because he spoke too loudly.
Hearing this wailing argument, Su Yi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "Don't worry, you will definitely live to that time. If you are injured, just use medicine. I happen to have some at home."
"Apply medicine?" Feng Tang felt helpless when she heard this word. If the medicine was effective, would she still be covered in bruises?
Her self-healing system had long collapsed due to repeated overdose of treatment. Medications were merely auxiliary treatments, and most of them only served to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and stop bleeding. Her self-healing ability had disappeared, and no medicine could cure her.
Now all we can do is to keep alive through our art.
"You're talking too much nonsense." Su Yi walked over to the small bag where he kept his equipment and rummaged through it, then pulled out a light green potion from the medical kit. "It would be a waste to give it to you. I think half a potion would be enough to keep you alive for a long time in your condition."
This thing was the T1205 model medicine he used to treat Lolisi. If it weren't for the information that needed to be verified, he might have to interrogate her.
Su Yi really didn't want to waste time on this.
Seeing him take out the syringe, Fengtang subconsciously leaned towards the wall.
"Senior! What...what are you doing? If you torture me with a needle when I'm not using my powers, I'll really die."
"You're not the kind of person like my father who likes to prick my body with long needles, watch my expression, and not allow me to cry, are you?"
Su Yi was ashamed. What was going on in this guy's head? He was not a psychopath.
"This medicine!"
"Medicine is useless... If you really want to torture me with needles, just let me use my supernatural powers. As long as it doesn't hit my temple, I can endure it."
“This is medicine!”
