My Endless Life

Walking into the grocery store, Xie Yan found that there were not many things here.

The grocery store was not big, less than 40 square meters, with three rows of shelves in the middle. There were various items on the shelves, but strangely, there was no repetition.

The cashier was placed at the back of the store, there was no salesperson, and even no one could be seen in the entire grocery store.

Xie Yan felt strange and looked around for the owner.

But the owner didn't see it, and his attention was attracted by a bottle of juice on the shelf.

The bottle of juice was red, without any trademarks or labels on the outside, and it was a three-no product.

But the juice had an extraordinary attraction to Xie Yan. At that time, he didn't want anything, just wanted to buy it.

So he put his idea into action. He took out all the money on him and transferred it all to the QR code on the cash register, and then took the juice back home.

When his thoughts returned, he realized what he had done.

There was no time to cry for his lost savings... It wasn't much anyway... Xie Yan's entire attention was on the juice he bought.

The juice was red in color, and it still emitted a radiant glow in the dark. It felt warm when held in the hand, and it was obviously something unusual.

Xie Yan, who had only received basic education, understood that sometimes things that glowed and were warm were not necessarily magical things, but could also be radiation, so he used the radiation monitoring device he had bought in the past with fear and anxiety to test the juice over and over again.

After getting the test result that there was no radiation, he drank the juice with confidence.

Yes, he didn't think about anything at the time, and drank the juice directly, without even doubting whether it was poisonous.

Afterwards, when Xie Yan recalled it, he knew that the juice must be wrong.

But it was too late, he had already drunk the juice, and the juice turned into the purest flame, changing his body.

"..."

Walking to the mirror in the room, Xie Yan took off the hoodie he was wearing, stood in front of the mirror and looked at himself in it.

What appeared in the mirror was a 'ash man' with short hair and black and red body.

He was like burning ashes, with lines of flames flickering on the surface of his body, and his charred body looked like charcoal that had been burned to a scorch.

Apart from his body, there was almost no human form.

This was what Xie Yan looked like now.

He had become a monster.

But being a monster was not without its benefits. Xie Yan raised his hand, and the flames ignited in his hand. The flames with temperature and heat were reflected in his charred pupils.

This was his current ability.

He could control the flames and make himself burn, just like the fire man in a superhero movie.

But the difference was that when he released the flames, he had to endure the pain of being burned by the flames.

Although the flames could not harm him, and the pain was not too painful, this continuous and uninterrupted pain still made Xie Yan feel terrified.

He became like this, and he could feel the pain from the flames when he used his abilities. These changes were the reason why Xie Yan stayed indoors for the past few days and didn't even dare to see his mother.

He was afraid that his mother would think of him as a monster.

He was also afraid that his abilities would go out of control when he was emotionally excited, and he would hurt his only relative now.

"Damn it! Damn it!"

Looking at himself in the mirror, who looked like a ghost, Xie Yan almost broke down again.

He regretted it very much now. He regretted that he shouldn't have entered that grocery store, shouldn't have bought things, and shouldn't have drunk the things he bought without thinking about anything!

But Xie Yan had no choice. He didn't know why he had to drink that bottle of juice like he was lost.

Now he has become like this... What should he do?

Dong Dong Dong——

When Xie Yan was desperate and self-blaming, there was another knock on the door outside, but this time it was not Xie Yan's bedroom, but the front door of his house.

Someone came to Xie Yan's house as a "guest".

Xie Yan originally thought so, but when he heard the sound outside, he felt something was wrong.

"Eh? Who are you guys——"

"We are Xie Yan's friends."

A voice that sounded like a child sounded at the door.

The mother's confused voice came: "Xiao Yan's friend? This...you..."

"Auntie, you let us meet him and we will know everything."

The child's voice said again.

"...Okay, come in."

Xie Yan's mother quickly agreed to the "child's" request, but Xie Yan's mind was alarmed the moment his mother agreed!

Because he had only lived with his mother since he was a child, Xie Yan knew his mother's character very well. Although she doted on him and looked like an old man who was easily deceived, she was actually very vigilant.

She couldn't let a stranger into the house so easily, even if the other party claimed to be her friend!

Besides, Xie Yan's interpersonal relationships could be seen at a glance. His mother knew exactly what kind of friends he had. How could she let a stranger in without asking Xie Yan's opinion?

Something was wrong, very wrong!

His heart beat faster and faster, and countless bad thoughts flashed through Xie Yan's mind. He thought about the abilities he had now, and also about the novels he had read before.

He suddenly realized that the people outside the door were probably the group of people who specialized in dealing with supernatural phenomena!

They may belong to the official government, or they may belong to other organizations, but there is no doubt that they are here for Xie Yan!

Must run!

As soon as Xie Yan thought this, he thought of his mother who was still outside the bedroom.

If he just ran away, those people would definitely not let his mother go, so even if it was for his own mother, he couldn't just leave.

So, the answer is already clear as to how to choose in the end.

Looking up at the bedroom door that had not been opened for a long time, Xie Yan put on the hoodie again and reached for the door handle.

…

Use hints to ask the woman in front of you to let you and others in.

Li Qi entered the room and looked directly towards the bedroom.

Without looking specifically, he could sense the heat coming from that room. The heat-sensing pattern, like a human-shaped torch, was as obvious to Li Qi as the light of fire in the dark night.

The rare item [Fire Juice] has the ability to give the holder the power to control fire, but the price is unknown for the time being.

The divination technique used by the 'immortal' summoned by the life of the old director has recorded the abilities and names of most of the strange objects. Some of the strange objects can even explain the price in detail.

But occasionally there will be a few rare objects whose value is unknown for unknown reasons, such as the rare objects in Xie Yan's hands.

The same goes for Xu Leying’s strange objects.

So in order to confirm the price of the rare item in Xie Yan's hand, Li Qi came here personally.

After all, Xie Yan is considered one of his scheduled team members.

But Li Qi didn't expect that as soon as he entered Xie Yan's home, the closed bedroom in the distance opened, and a guy with a body burning with flames, like a burning man, walked out of the door.

As soon as he went out, he said to Li Qi and others in a deep voice:

"Don't embarrass my mother, I'll go with you..."

As soon as he finished speaking, his voice gradually weakened, and the flames on his body gradually extinguished, and he looked at the trio in front of him in astonishment.

A child and two girls who looked like they were in high school were the current image of Li Qi and the others in the eyes of outsiders.

This group does not look like bad guys, let alone members of a mysterious organization. Instead, they look like ordinary students who got lost during an outing and came here to ask for directions.

Xie Yan's emotions were fragmented for a moment when he saw the people in front of him.

But when he saw his mother's eyes looking vacant, Xie Yan's IQ regained its high ground.

Ordinary people can't hypnotize other people instantly. Even if these people in front of him are not members of the mysterious organization, they definitely have super powers like him!

Therefore, Xie Yan was just stunned for a second before his body burned with flames again and he asked sternly:

"...Who are you! Why do you want to hypnotize my mother!"

"Tsk, Yi Cheng, let him calm down."

Li Qi saw that the flames burning on Xie Yan's body were vaguely showing signs of igniting surrounding objects, and he immediately ordered Yi Cheng beside him.

"Don't order me! But this person setting fires casually is really annoying..."

Yi Cheng subconsciously retorted to Li Qi, then opened the magic book and started chanting the spell:

"!"

A series of notes were compressed to the extreme. After a sound of unknown meaning came from Yi Cheng's mouth, the magic book in her hand began to turn the pages.

In just one second, endless frost covered the small room.

In just a moment, the flames on Xie Yan's body were covered with ice, and his entire body turned into a 'snowman' wrapped in ice.

Although he was trying his best to release his flames, these flames only made the ice on his body melt faster. It would take some time to fully recover.

Taking advantage of this period of time, Li Qi took out the certificate prepared for him by Bureau 057, showed it to Xie Yan and said:

"Official department, Xie Yan, right? I announce that you have been officially recruited now. Come with me."

"...?"

Official...department...?

Xie Yan once again checked the child in front of him.

He wanted to see if the other person was an adult with dwarfism, but no matter how he looked, he was just an ordinary child.

Do the authorities now allow children to work?

Xie Yan felt confused, and then he saw Li Qi raising his gun:

"Now, I'll give you a chance to come with us. If you refuse, I will shoot without hesitation. If you want to see if your superpower can handle bullets, you can try it yourself."

The black pistol was held by two small hands that were much smaller than its size.

But those hands were very steady. Seeing the look in the child's eyes, Xie Yan had no doubt that he would shoot.

So, he raised his hands and raised his head high:

"I...I'll go with you!"

Even if he gained superpowers, Xie Yan would still have an instinctive fear of hot weapons.

After all, no one knows whether his superpower can stop bullets.
