Breakfast time passed, and the two of them returned to the apartment building after filling their stomachs.
Because a certain eldest lady could not control her abilities, Gongsun Ce decisively gave up the plan of taking her out to prescribe medicine, and instead chose to spend more money to ask a doctor to come to her home for services.
"Which school were you assigned to? Didn't the school teacher contact you?"
"Cangqiong No. 1 Middle School, one class per year." Qin Qianbai looked at the corner of the room, "I received a call and took it away because I thought it was a scam. I also saw an adult who looked like a teacher yesterday."
"Then?"
"...I thought he was a villain with evil intentions, so I beat him unconscious."
I really belong to you, a good student.
And you are actually in the same class as me.
School is about to start in one week, and including Caldesia, who is assigned to the second class, he can already imagine what kind of chaos the school will be like next month... The teaching building is at the very beginning. Can it stay intact for a week? Is it difficult? No hope? It’s impossible no matter how you think about it!
While Gongsun Ce was imagining pessimistically, he led his neighbor into his house - because the girl insisted that men should not be allowed to enter her house, even when she was picking up furniture last night, she moved it in outside the door.
But talking in the corridor all the time is not a problem, so Mr. Gongsun had to wrap his furniture with a layer of white matter protection and take this eldest lady to his home to communicate.
"Sit down. Let me ask first, how much do you know about your superpowers?"
Qin Qianbai sat down on the white sofa and stroked the pure white surface.
"My ability is to control the properties of matter." She said with certainty. "When I obtained this ability, I fully understood its purpose."
Gongsun Ce could understand what the other party meant, because he did the same when he awakened his own abilities.
One day, at a certain moment, you suddenly find that you have an additional ability. How far this ability can extend and what specific uses it can have are up to you to discover, and the nature of this ability will be clear at that point. It's like having an instruction manual put into your mind, and you can understand it naturally.
"I can change the hardness, strength, stiffness, friction coefficient and other parameters, but the mass and volume of the object cannot be directly changed. When I could control it before, the range of this ability was..."
Can not be done. This kid has absolutely no consciousness of a person with super powers.
"That's it." Gongsun Ce felt a headache, "Don't you know the hidden information?"
"?" The eldest lady looked at him blankly, as if she didn't understand.
"You've even explained the range of your abilities, so it's not easy for others to target you. Are you the type who is good at fighting, right? When you introduce your moves, do you tell strangers how to break them?"
"……ah."
Have you finally figured it out? It's hard to tell from the face.
"In short, it's best to hide the scope and specific effects of your abilities. On this basis, it's best to prepare another set of tactics as a backup when the enemy has analyzed the intelligence and specifically targets your abilities." Gongsun Ce patiently Talking about common sense, "Now let's talk about your state. I already know that you are under great psychological pressure and your mentality is very bad, otherwise your ability would not be out of control like this. This is what every superpower person will encounter when he first awakens his ability. If you encounter problems, you will need to take medication and undergo a period of psychological adjustment, but before that, you need to learn the most basic ability control."
Qin Qianbai grabbed the sleeves of her white clothes and asked, "Basic control?"
"Yeah, what do you think your superpower is?"
The girl thought for a moment and said, "Part of the body."
"Big mistake."
Gongsun Ce casually rubbed some white matter into it and threw it to her. The eldest lady clutched the white fork, her eyes blank.
"Isn't it?"
"How can the ability that fell from the sky be your own? The description of awakening is just for convenience. In fact, the more you regard it as an extension of your limbs, the harder it is to control the ability itself. Let me give you an example and you will understand - beforehand Say yes, no hitting
people. "
The eldest lady nodded dully.
"This morning, your clothes slipped off. That's because you thought about "slip" in your mind, so the ability that you regard as a part of yourself automatically activated according to your will. Gongsun Ce said very quickly, "But if you regard ability as a crutch, it won't be like this - you promised not to hit people!"
The white one shot towards his head like a dart, but was stopped by telekinesis.
"It's a throw, not a hit."
"Is there any difference between those who are beaten?"
"Throwing hurts more."
"Thank you." Gongsun Ce dispersed and said, "Let's get back to the topic. If you want to control your abilities, you must first determine your cognition. Once you have the basic cognition, the problem of unconscious control can be generally solved. Give it a try."
Qin Qianbai sat on the white sofa, silent for half a minute as if in meditation, and said, "It seems...I have grasped it."
Gongsun Ce used telekinesis to grab a box of tissues, pulled one out and threw it in front of the girl.
The paper towels showed no movement.
The girl raised her face, giving people a very proud feeling.
Gongsun Ce said in a drawl: "The fruit shop on the next street likes to buy improved biochemical fruits from the university. I am deeply impressed by the biochemical bayberry in that store. A plum is as big as a fist. The pulp is sweet and the juice is sour. When you take a bite, the juice is like exploding in your mouth, making your eyes and nose squeeze into one place..."
"..."
The tissue in front of the girl turned into a sticky liquid, flowing down the table like saliva.
"Not at all." Gongsun Ce said.
"I want to eat bayberry."
"Yes, it's clear at a glance."
"...I want to eat bayberry."
Even if you look at it like that, I won't buy it for you.
"Practice hard." The gray-haired boy said helplessly, "I'll take you to eat when I can initially control it."
·
Qin Qianbai's superpower training continued for a long time, and nearly half of the tissues were consumed. The progress was not satisfactory. Gongsun Ce took out his pocket watch and looked at the time. It was half past ten in half a minute.
"Get some rest first, the doctor is coming."
"doctor?"
"A person with superpowers who is very good at medical treatment. Just call her doctor after you see her." Gongsun Ce put away his pocket watch, "Don't be so nervous. I called her here mainly to check for myself, and I'll bring you some by the way." medicine."
The minute hand pointed to 30, and there was a knock on the door on time. Gongsun Ce opened the door with telekinesis: "Please come in."
Qin Qianbai looked sideways and saw a short-haired woman with an indifferent expression standing at the door. She looked to be about the age of just entering college, with beautiful gray-blue hair, wearing a dark-colored short-sleeved shirt and skirt, wearing fingerless sandals, and carrying a small medical kit in her hand.
"Good morning. There are two patients scheduled for home consultation..."
Her eyes swept across the room, focusing on the gray-haired young man.
This woman who gave off a cold feeling showed an expression that could be called surprise.
"you……"
Please save me some face in front of the new couple.
"It's me, I changed my look." Gongsun Ce cleared his throat deliberately, "Let me introduce you, this is Qin Qianbai, the neighbor who just moved here yesterday. He has just awakened his ability and is not very good at controlling it. He may need to take some medicine. A certain inhibitor. This is a doctor, the most reputable black doctor in the city - if you don’t believe it, you can just go to the street and ask someone. I don’t need to lie to you about this kind of information. "
"Hello, doctor."
Qin Qianbai decided to trust the neighbor's introduction for the time being. She nodded obediently to the doctor, but received no response. Qin Qianbai noticed that the look in the doctor's eyes became increasingly strange.
"……Hello."
The doctor looked at Gongsun Ce strangely for a while, then opened his medicine box.
"Who starts first?"
Gongsun Ce and Qin Qianbai pointed at each other in unison. "she."
"he."
·
The so-called inhibitor is a "drug" specially prepared for people with super powers. Different from the imagination of ordinary people outside the city, this medicine is mostly given to ordinary people who are not superpowers - in order to resist the information disturbance sent by superpowers.
Research by the white coats shows that every person with superpowers will inadvertently send out "special messages" of unknown meaning, just like a human-shaped transmitter. Some of this information can be received by specific instruments and is suspected to be related to the abilities of superpowers, but it has not been confirmed so far. The "special information" of some superpowers has extremely similar fragments. The white coats used similar information segments and ability expressions to make the commonly used classification of superpowers.
"I'm a trash can who can't find anything in common..." Gongsun Ce laughed at himself in the corridor.
It is said that information disturbance will cause damage to ordinary people who are close to superpowers, so the incompetent citizens of Sky City always take inhibitors regularly to protect themselves. Only under two circumstances will superpowers personally take inhibitors. The first is when they are allowed to leave the city, and the second is when their abilities are on the verge of going berserk.
The current Miss Qin Qianbai undoubtedly belongs to the second situation. According to common sense, taking some medicine to regulate the physical condition and taking a certain dose of inhibitors is often the most suitable choice for newcomers - this will greatly reduce their combat effectiveness, but it can greatly reduce the probability of going berserk.
"Tsk..."
Gongsun Ce thought of the oral tablet inhibitors he had taken in Superbia, and this association made his mood suddenly turn bad. The gray-haired boy leaned silently against the railing of the corridor, listening to the chirping of the cicadas on the big tree outside the building.
Insects chirped loudly in the trees, and the boring sound was repeated again and again, which was annoying.
After crushing that thing, an idea came to his mind. Just cut down the whole tree. The idea sounded so tempting that he almost wanted to act on it.
Then he heard the door open behind him. Qin Qianbai came out and stood at the door of his house.
"I've finished reading. What did the doctor say?"
The girl said nothing, only looked at him warily.
"What's wrong?"
"...The look in your eyes is terrifying."
What are you talking about?
Gongsun Ce took off his glasses, rubbed his eyes vigorously, glared and said, "What now?"
Qin Qianbai seemed to relax.
"Back to normal."
"Anyone else would be woken up early in the morning and slapped, and their eyes would not be much better." Gongsun Ce sighed, "So what did the doctor say?"
"...I was prescribed some medicine and oral suppressants." The girl lifted up a small plastic bag, "But, can I trust her?"
"I don't know. It's up to you." Gongsun Ce yawned, "Who can believe it and who can't believe it? In the end, you have to make your own judgment on this kind of thing. The silly girl who was deceived by a bad man and lost her mind and the one who was deceived There are stupid boys everywhere who are cheated by bad women and lose all their pants. Once you suffer a big loss, you will know who you can trust and who you can’t.”
"That's it." The eldest lady said seriously, "Then, you should be able to believe it."
This kid is really stupid.
"Miss, it's great that you have such understanding."
Gongsun Ce deliberately changed his tone and spoke in an unnaturally soft manner, like that of an elderly man.
He took off his glasses, raised his hand to wipe the broken hair from his forehead, and used telekinesis to fix the hair back on his head.
The gray-haired boy who instantly changed his image turned his head to the side, with a condescending and weird smile, and spoke softly.
"——If you can learn this lesson, the hard work of your elders will not be in vain. Then, the summer internship is over, please follow me back to the imperial capital."
"?!"
He clearly caught the shock, panic...and fear in the girl's eyes.
There is no mistake, Qin Qianbai is afraid of the family he comes from. This is not the emotion that ordinary rich kids would have... Hers
The situation is really complicated.
"What on earth are you——"
Gongsun Ce let down his hair expressionlessly, put on his glasses, and returned to his usual demeanor.
"...Huh?" The eldest lady made a dull voice.
"Hey, you're big, you idiot!"
Gongsun Ce couldn't help but reach out and hit her on the head.
The girl was so shocked that she even forgot to resist.
"You can even be deceived in this kind of impromptu performance. How on earth have you survived until now? I just told you that there are stupid girls everywhere who have been deceived and suffered losses. Please tell me, "I think you can believe it." Gongsun Sir, have all my advice been ignored by you? Make me wary and suspicious of everyone! "
Qin Qianbai covered her forehead and said slowly: "Yes, is it acting?"
"Otherwise? Mr. Gongsun, I have been here since the city was first founded. I have never even been to the imperial capital!"
Gongsun Ce's new neighbor said pitifully: "None of the training teachers specially hired by the family from the intelligence department are as realistic as you..."
"Then you must have hired a fake agent." Gongsun Ce said without hesitation, "How can a real agent deceive people and be worse than me? Please think clearly, Mr. Gongsun, I am not famous for my speaking skills or acting skills at all. My nickname on the road is Invisible Ghost, and superpowers are my specialty."
Qin Qianbai held her head in disbelief.
"how come……"
Gongsun Ce sighed deeply. He knocked on the door and shouted, "Doctor, please help me!"
A female college student with gray and blue hair walked to the door. She smiled rarely, feeling very amused.
"Gongsun Ce's nickname in the Sky City is "Speaking Taohua." The doctor said, "He is good at using his tongue to deceive others, and he often uses words to attack people's hearts during battles."
Qin Qianbai looked back and forth between the two of them, closing and opening his eyes, opening and closing them again, a vivid manifestation of the collapse of his worldview.
"You should be more thoughtful, young lady." Gongsun Ce patted his neighbor on the head, "I have to go to see a doctor. I'll go back to my room for a while. I'll take you to buy furniture and eat bayberries later."
Qin Qianbai nodded blankly and ran back to his home quickly, like a frightened little animal.
Gongsun Ce shrugged, returned to his home, and used telekinesis to lock the door.
He sat on the sofa and lowered his head in embarrassment. His previous calm and composed demeanor was completely gone.
The doctor was still standing at the door, watching him quietly.
"...Thank you for saving some face for me." Gongsun Ce whispered.
"You're welcome," the doctor said, "I can't help but ask why you didn't call me 'Maho-nee' in front of the new couple. "
