I, the only superpower on earth

"If you had superpowers, what would you do?"

At the table near the glass window on the second floor, the woman propped her chin with one hand and put the other hand on the table, asking Lin Heng curiously.

To her right is a cup of lemon tea with a straw stuck in it.

"Me?" Hearing this question, Lin Heng, who was lowering his head to study the menu and had a cup of lemon tea at his hand, replied without thinking: "I will hand it over to the country."

"It really fits Xiaoheng's style of answer."

The woman couldn't help laughing, picked up the lemon tea, and drank it "cuckoo".

After Lin Heng finished studying the menu, he handed the place he had ticked off to the other party.

"Come on, let's see, what else do you want to eat?"

"It's okay, Xiao Heng eats what I like." The woman narrowed her eyes with a smile and added. "It's all barbecue anyway, I can't taste the difference."

She called the waiter, handed the menu to the other party, and while waiting for the food to be served, Lin Heng suddenly felt a little curious when he thought of the woman's question just now.

"Hey, why did you just ask me that question?"

"You mean you have superpowers?"

"That's right."

"Xiaoheng, haven't you watched the latest news? A video broke out in Tokyo, Japan the day before yesterday. It's very popular."

"video?"

Lin Heng shook his head suspiciously.

"I'm still working on a case recently, so I don't have much time for entertainment."

The woman gave him a deep look, "Xiao Heng, sometimes I feel like you are like an ascetic monk."

"Ascetic monk?" Lin Heng thought about this statement carefully, and smiled wryly. "I'm not that pure."

"Ascetic monks are not pure. Faith itself is a stable thing in this world. The reason why we can persist is only because it has become a habit."

"Isn't a doctor a profession that requires faith?"

Lin Heng looked at her, and the woman turned her gaze out of the window, with a complicated smile on her face.

"Faith is just the background, but if you want to maintain this profession, there are only long-term responsibilities...and benefits. Just like the logo of a doctor, the single snake stick represents pure ideals, which is the symbol of the Hippocratic Oath .But the double snake caduceus, which originally belonged to commercial trade, has now also entered the field of medicine and become part of its symbolic meaning-this is the change of the times, or the progress of the times."

What the woman said was not difficult to understand, but it was obviously personal. Lin Heng was silent for a while, and did not answer immediately.

The woman has already entered the last year of the Linba school system, and will soon obtain a doctorate degree, and at the same time, she will also be a resident doctor in the Third Hospital of Qingxia City. The next step is the mid-level physician professional examination and the selection of attending doctors in tertiary hospitals. Lin Heng has also heard about the academic and work pressure that women bear, but he came to Qingxia early in the morning and became a member of the provincial department. , no matter what you say, it may not have the effect of empathizing with the woman's state of mind. So he just stretched out his hand and tightly held the woman's right hand on the table——

"Xixi."

A woman named Shen Yunxi, who was exactly one year older than Lin Heng, had a beautiful smile on her face, and she let go of the hand that was supporting her chin, and wrapped her hands tightly around Lin Heng, who was obviously bigger. A round, thicker palm.

"Ah, Xiaoheng cares about me—so warm, so warm."

She lowered her head and made a gesture to put her face on Lin Heng's hand, but at this moment, the waiter's voice of suppressed laughter came from the side:

"Sorry, that, your ingredients are cut, do you want to bake now?"

Lin Heng hastily withdrew his hands, his cheeks and ears turned red, but Shen Yunxi didn't care, with a calm expression on his face, he raised his head as if nothing had happened, and said gracefully:

"Well, please bake it for me."

"okay."

The waiter graciously put slices of beef into the barbecue pot, and then went to help other tables. While waiting for the beef to be roasted, Lin Heng coughed lightly, remembering what Shen Yunxi said just now:

"Xixi, what is that video you just mentioned?"

"Well, this is it."

Shen Yunxi took out his phone, opened the video he had cached, clicked to play, and placed it in front of Lin Heng.

In the picture, the scenes of meteors falling, sea of ​​blood rushing, individual humans becoming part of it, and countless screams made Lin Heng's originally relaxed expression gradually tighten:

"is this real?"

"How can it be."

After the video was played, Shen Yunxi put back her phone with a relaxed expression.

"It is said that this is just a CG composite video. The Japanese embassy has refuted the rumors. It was a scene in a temporary studio set up in Tokyo, but it happened that an attack happened that day, so it was believed to be true. Now TV Tokyo has stood up. They came out and admitted that it was the scene of a new TV series they were planning to film, and as soon as the news came out, that TV series that hadn’t been released immediately became the most anticipated new drama on the Internet, and Netflix’s anticipation index directly reached the peak.”

After hearing that this was false, Lin Heng finally relaxed again and nodded.

"But..." Shen Yunxi's turning point made Lin Heng's heart ache again.

"But what?"

"——But I heard that some technical masters have analyzed the images in the video. The picture in the video is not at the level that CG synthesis technology can achieve, and it is said afterwards that the place where the video took place——Meshita Town has been completely blocked by the Japanese authorities. You can’t get in, so many people think it’s true.”

The first beef has been roasted, and Shen Yunxi put the pieces of beef on Lin Heng's and his own plates with a smile. Lin Heng picked up the knife and cut up the other raw meat, and put the other pieces on the plate. After roasting in the pot, the two people have a clear division of labor and are skillful and natural.

He picked up the freshly roasted beef and put it into his mouth without adding any dipping sauce. Lin Heng was a little absent-minded and didn't even have the heart to taste the meat in his mouth. He recalled the scene of the video he had just watched in his mind and frowned deeply. raised his eyebrows:

——In other words, is it possible that the content in the video is true? "

"It's possible... That's why I asked Xiaoheng what would you do if you had superpowers."

Looking at Lin Heng's expression, which was obviously lost in the past, Shen Yunxi couldn't help laughing.

"Oh, don't worry, the possibility is very small. There has never been a real supernatural being in thousands of years of human history. The World War II was so fierce that we didn't see witches and wizards play any role on the battlefield. In comparison, that is It is more reasonable to guess that the incident was caused by the secret experiment conducted by the U.S. military in Moxia Town. Don’t put on such a bitter look of worrying about the country and the people——Take a step back, even if there is some supernatural power that will destroy the world There are people with abilities, Xiaoheng, are you still going to fight head-on with the other party? You are just a small civil servant, so don’t worry about the world’s police.”
