Chapter 8 My Superpower is Princess Palace 4
Mi Lin did not answer me directly. Instead, she thought for a few minutes before she said slowly, "I will answer you in the order of your questions."
"First of all, you can barely be considered my friend, otherwise I wouldn't save you."
"Secondly, when I was modifying Elon's memory that day, I discovered a strange thing related to you. And according to my predictive ability, that strange thing will also be related to me, so when I sent him home, I also did a deeper reading of his memory and found that the matter was far from as simple as the impression left in his memory. So when I decided to ask you, I found that you were gone."
"I couldn't find you with my normal abilities, so I took off my glasses. I still couldn't find you, so I knew something must have happened to you. In order to find you, and my abilities were powerless, I could only use the most primitive method to check your whereabouts, but still found nothing. Just when I felt my own incompetence and frustration for the first time in my life, I suddenly heard your cry for help. Your mental power actually communicated directly with me, so I was able to find your location."
"Because it was inconvenient to bring you with me, I took you away from the institute that day. But I was not going to let them go, so I moved the institute to the Sahara Desert that day and destroyed all their electronic equipment, making it impossible for them to escape."
"After sending you home, I went to the research institute again and checked all the experimental reports about you. I found out what your superpowers are."
Mi Lin said a lot of things in one breath, but stopped at the key point. I urged her curiously: "Hurry up and stop keeping me in suspense."
His expression became very strange, as if he was smiling but not laughing: "You really don't feel anything at all?"
"What does it feel like?" I asked puzzled.
"You feel different from others." Mi Lin crossed her legs and tapped the ground lightly with her toes. "In fact, you already have the answer in your heart, don't you?"
I pursed my lips and lowered my head: "Yes, I already have the answer."
"There's nothing to be afraid of in admitting that you're different. You've been working hard since you were a child, isn't it just to be different? Now that what you've been pursuing so hard is completely in your hands, why are you still feeling disappointed?" Mi Lin asked curiously.
"Mi Lin, I'm different from you who knew you were special since childhood. I'm just an ordinary girl from an ordinary family. Although my family situation gradually improved, and I became the focus of everyone's praise and admiration, I know that all this was earned with sweat. I took every step very steadily and firmly, because I knew that hard work would pay off. Over time, I was indeed a little bit arrogant and a little psychologically inflated. I thought my beauty was unmatched, my temperament was impeccable, and everyone would like me. But this confidence was broken when I was in the research institute. Not only did they ignore me, but they also conducted various cruel human experiments on me. If this just made me feel that they were a group of monsters who didn't know how to appreciate me and had no feelings, then when Chen Haiyun appeared, my world was completely turned upside down."
I covered my face with my hands and cried sadly: "It turns out that the reason why everyone likes me and appreciates me, and all my achievements are not real. I only have these because of my superpowers. If I don’t have superpowers, then no matter how hard I try, I won’t get any rewards? Whenever I think of this, I’m scared. Because that means that if I lose my superpowers one day, I will have nothing." At the end, I burst into tears.
"Fool!"
When I cried bitterly, Mi Lin did not comfort me gently, but gave me a stern rebuke.
"If life is a game, then everyone will be assigned very different ability points when they are born. Some people are unlucky, born in a very poor family, and are assigned very low ability points. No matter how hard they try, they are destined to live an ordinary or even miserable life. Some people are just the opposite. They are born in very excellent families and their ability points are incomparably high. But these two types of people are very rare. The ability points of the vast majority of people are very balanced. For example, some people don't do well in academic performance, but they have very developed athletic cells; some people may not be good at sports or studying, but have a strong talent for music. And you, Huang Yaxi, even without the extra point of superpowers, have a stronger ability point than others..." He said slowly, "That is perseverance."
"Perseverance?" I said blankly, "What kind of advantage is perseverance? You also said that some people are born with poor abilities. No matter how hard they work, they will not get any rewards. Maybe I am that kind of person."
I was in extreme panic and had no way of cheering myself up. The depression and pain that I had been suppressing for the past few days burst out completely.
"You have no idea what I was like when I was in kindergarten..."
"I know! Don't forget, I've seen Elon's memories." Mi Lin interrupted me sharply, "You're not like yourself at all, you know? The Huang Yaxi I know is an excellent girl who is proud but kind, elegant and confident, not the coward who feels like the sky is falling now."
"But……"
My argument was interrupted by Mi Lin again: "There is no but. You are worried that if you don't have superpowers, you will be useless, but why don't you think about it the other way around? Maybe the reason you have superpowers is because you are excellent?"
Mi Lin’s words made me stunned: “Impossible?”
"Nothing is impossible. The reason why superpowers are mysterious is that the reasons for their generation are still unknown. But precisely because of this, everything is possible."
Mi Lin's confident look was full of unparalleled persuasiveness. I slowly accepted his words and felt relieved.
I felt relieved and recalled what happened just now. I couldn't help but laugh: "Mi Rin, this is the first time you have said so much to me. I am so happy, really. Hey, Mi Rin, Mi Rin?"
I don't know why Mi Lin didn't answer me, I looked at him strangely. Unexpectedly, when my eyes met his, he suddenly blushed, coughed hard, and turned his head to the side.
"Mi Lin, what's wrong with you? Your face is so red and you're coughing. Are you sick? Can people with super powers also get sick?" I asked curiously.
Mi Lin seemed a little embarrassed and said: "I'm not sick, I just felt a little hot just now."
"Hot? No." I felt even more surprised, but since he said it was a little hot, "Then I'll open the window."
"No, it will be fine in a while. Let's continue discussing the topic just now. Oh, no, it seems that it is not necessary."
Mi Lin's words suddenly became incoherent for some reason, and at this moment two questions suddenly occurred to me.
"Mi Rin, what is the principle of Ishi Mao's magic paper? Also, your glasses broke the first two times and your true appearance was exposed. Why didn't your glasses show your true appearance when they broke during the sports meet?"
"You really have a million questions!" The blush on Mi Lin's face gradually faded, and his voice began to return to normal, "Let's continue talking about your superpowers first."
Since my thinking ability, which had just become sluggish, has become active again, I calmly gave the answer: "It means that I can resist electric current and make others like me, right? If that's all, then it's just mental charm, and there's nothing special about it. Why did Chen Haiyun say that my ability is special?"
"Because you don't need to pay special attention to the thoughts of the object you need to control, and you can't completely control other people's thoughts, you just make them feel deeply for you. But if it's just for these reasons, there's nothing special about it, right?" Mi Lin said meaningfully, "Do you know what the name of your superpower is in the research institute?"
I shook my head honestly: "I don't know, because the only terms I can think of are mind control or mind charm."
"Princess." Mi Lin spread her hands and shrugged. "You are born to be a princess who will be loved and admired. Your beauty, temperament, ability, and perseverance determine that you must not be an ordinary person. And your superpower is to infinitely magnify this charm, ignoring gender and age."
My eyes lit up. "They named my superpower Princess Palace? Wow, that's so romantic."
Although my superpowers aren't as strong as Mi Lin's, I'm a weak girl. Fighting and killing aren't suitable for me at all. This kind of romantic and gentle superpower is the most suitable for me.
But I immediately thought of another thing: "Since I'm so powerful, why don't the people at the Super Power Research Institute like me and listen to me and let me go?"
"You are wrong. Your ability is very powerful, so powerful that they find it terrifying. They are originally inhumane mad scientists. To them, beauty, wealth, and power are all unimportant. Only the truth of science is their ultimate belief, especially Chen Haiyun. The reason why he can become the director of this crazy research institute is not only because he is the one who funded the construction of the institute, but also because he has the strongest will to pursue scientific beliefs. For scientific research, he can give up and sacrifice everything, and nothing in this world can really move him. But you..." Mi Lin pointed at me with his finger in the air, "but almost made him lost."
"Me? I almost made him lost?" I pointed at myself in surprise.
"That's right." Mi Lin nodded, "He had two private contacts with you, right? During the first contact, he almost fell in love with you. And during the second contact, he almost told you the truth he wanted to hide. If the monitoring personnel hadn't sounded the alarm in time to remind him, he might have told you everything, or even let you go. This made him feel that you were very scary, so everyone in the institute wore equipment specifically for psychic superpowers."
Mi Lin's words reminded me of what those people in the institute said when I tried to escape, and I suddenly realized: "So that's how it is. What other questions are there? Tell me quickly."
"You should go to sleep first." Mi Lin suddenly disappeared.
I was stunned. Just as I was about to yell in my heart, the door of the room was suddenly slammed open, and my father rushed in aggressively: "Which bastard sneaked into my daughter's room so late at night?"
