2052, Thirty Years Of Sleep

"Professor Chai, can you tell me what Ye Buyu's real power is?"

"Huh?" The old lady seemed not to understand the question.

"Please tell me Ye Buyu's true power." Yan Muyun repeated it again.

"Don't you know everything?"

"The ability to passively listen to other people's voices, the ability to make others forget or ignore themselves, A-level telekinesis, the ability to change into the appearance of other people, the ability to force people to calm down..."

"Well, you've basically told her all the abilities she has now."

"No, I think there should be another one."

"What?"

"The ability to acquire other people's powers, if nothing else, should be Ye Buyu's initial ability."

There was no sound from the other end of the phone for a long time again. Yan Muyun thought Professor Chai had hung up, but when he looked at the screen, he realized that he hadn't.

After a long time, the old lady's voice was a little low: "The ability to acquire other people's powers?"

"The first is her ability to make people forget or ignore themselves. I guess it comes from one of the powers of some magic. Someone once used that power to help me, so that the world will no longer pursue the 'blasphemer' ’ status, so I was very impressed.”

"There is also the ability to forcibly calm people down. I heard that Ye Buyu also has an older brother. Her brother's power should be called [Silent Embrace], and it seems to be one of the ten thousand arts."

"Psychic power... If I remember correctly, Dean Zhuge of our college is known as the strongest telepathic person in the world."

"And the ability to passively listen to other people's voices, I think, comes from you."

"As for the ability to acquire other people's powers, I don't know."

In order to get the conversation started, Yan Muyun simply poured out all his guesses and added at the end: "Professor Chai, see if I have missed anything?"

The old lady sighed: "Xiaoyan, you are really smart."

"No, I didn't originally think about it in this direction. It's just that [Forgetting] and [Silent Embrace] are one of the ten thousand arts after all, and their effects really impressed me, so I couldn't help but do some some time ago. ...Unreliable association." Yan Muyun subconsciously glanced at the girl on the bed, only to see that the girl still showed no sign of waking up.

After thinking for a moment, he picked up his phone and walked outside the ward.

"Xiao Yan, you are a little self-effacing." Chai Yi's tone was filled with appreciation: "It's great to be able to guess this based on clues."

"No, no, it's nothing." Yan Muyun really didn't think it was anything. He just connected some known clues together and made a small guess.

"Do you have any other guesses?" Chai Yi asked.

"Her abilities should not be stable, and the abilities she 'copies' are basically weakened versions. For example, you and Dean Zhuge are both top figures in your fields. But the abilities she obtained from you are not It seems ordinary and even has flaws. There is also the owner of the [Forgetting] ability, whose ability is so strong that it can even affect the will of mankind around the world, but Ye Buyu currently seems to only be able to affect himself..."

Yan Muyun once again stated a bunch of his guesses in one breath, and finally asked: "As for Ye Buyu's ability, I feel that I have already guessed it, but it is just a guess after all. Now, can you please tell me about her The truth about supernatural powers?”

"Sorry." Chai Yi's reply this time was simple: "I can't tell you, this is the country's top secret."

"State secrets?" Yan Muyun really didn't expect to hear this word here.

"Yes, don't be surprised. In fact, throughout the world, most countries will try their best to keep the information of their top superpowers secret."

"Is it equivalent to the strategic nuclear deterrence of this era? I don't want you to know how many nuclear bombs I have, and I don't want you to know where my nuclear bombs are?"

"What a great metaphor," Chai praised.

"I understand." Yan Muyun sighed. It seemed that he would not be able to learn the secret of Ye Buyu's superpower today.

Chai Yi suddenly asked with great interest: "Why don't you ask her directly?"

Yan Muyun scratched his head: "I originally thought that if she wanted to say something, she would tell me naturally. I was afraid that I would embarrass her if I took the initiative to ask. But I am really too curious now, and I plan to wait until she wakes up and ask. ask."

"Haha, even if you ask her, she won't tell you, because even she herself can't reveal her own power information."

"Oh." Yan Muyun was a little depressed.

"I can help you ask about her powers, but this matter will probably take a long time."

"It's okay, please."

"Any other questions?"

"there is none left."

"Okay, bye then..."

"No, actually there is one more." Yan Muyun seemed to have made up his mind and suddenly raised his head, staring straight ahead.

"Say." On the other end of the phone, Chai Yi seemed to have guessed something, and his tone was hesitant.

Yan Muyun took a deep breath and slowly exhaled: "I always have a feeling that Ye Buyu seems to treat me a little differently from other people. I don't know if I feel too good about myself, sometimes I even feel... ..She seems to be deliberately approaching me...Well, I know this may be a bit too self-aware..."

"What do you think?" Chai interrupted him.

"Ah?" Yan Muyun was stunned for a moment, not understanding what he meant.

"What do you think? Is her behavior around you all hypocritical and pretense?"

"Well...it's not to that extent. I feel like we should be real friends, but sometimes it feels weird..."

"That would be great."

On the other end of the phone, the old lady's voice was gentle and calm: "She told me that when she is by your side, you will feel inexplicably at ease."

"Ah? Really?" Yan Muyun scratched his head.

"Don't think this is a polite comment." Chai Yi smiled and said: "Because of her own abilities, she has been wearing an ability suppressor since she was a child, especially when there are other people around. Basically, it is never a special situation. Will take it off."

"But it's different when she's with you. She can take off her 'shackles' and doesn't have to worry about hearing other people's thoughts."

"She told me that when she is alone with you, she will feel like an ordinary girl. The meaning contained in your every move is finally no longer spread out in front of her like a book, but needs her Guess, think, and figure it out, just like playing a game... This feeling of being able to get along like ordinary people after removing the confinement is really precious to her."

"Oh, it turns out it's not because of my personality charm." Yan Muyun was a little depressed.

The old lady almost laughed angrily: "In this era, superpowers are also one of the factors that make up a person. You are unique, and she is also unique. Two people who are one in a billion can meet in this world. It’s an undoubted miracle, isn’t it?”

"oh."

Yan Muyun recalled those nights of tutoring in the dormitory. Without knowing it, the girl would quietly take off the ability suppressor on her head, enjoying the "childish" game of guessing her own thoughts and never tired of it. The corners of her mouth were unconscious. It tilted up slightly. But at the same time, my heart seemed to be blocked by something, which made me feel a little uncomfortable.

"Do you have any other questions?"

"there is none left."

"goodbye."

"goodbye."

Yan Muyun put his cell phone in his pocket, took a deep breath, raised his hands and stretched out.

He didn't ask the last question, not because he had already gotten the answer, but because he was afraid that if he really asked it, something would change irreversibly and never go back to the way it was before.
