When social terror becomes the favorite of the police

Chapter 263 Facing It Calmly
"I happened to record it, isn't this evidence?!" The man looked at the little boy hiding behind his mother. "Such a young child, yet he's full of lies and acts like a bully. I think the responsibility lies with your parents!"

Those around them chimed in, "It's because the parents didn't raise their children well! They spoiled them too much!"

"Exactly, how can you spoil a child like that..."

At this moment, the child's father came over. After learning what had happened, he repeatedly apologized to the couple and immediately offered compensation.

Seeing that the child's father was relatively rational and knew to apologize and make amends, the couple, although angry, stopped arguing.

However, the two were still in a bad mood, so they stopped eating and left the hot pot restaurant.

"Shall we go too?" Lin Xiaoyan rubbed her stomach, feeling quite full.

Nancy nodded. "Okay, let's go."

The two got up, walked to the counter, and prepared to pay and leave.

"Hey, be careful!"

Just as I stood up and stepped out of my seat, something suddenly bumped into me from behind.

Lin Xiaoyan was jolted forward by the impact, but luckily Nanxi pulled her back, preventing her from being knocked over.

"Hehehe..."

When Lin Xiaoyan heard that familiar "lè lè lè," she knew who had bumped into her.

However, in the scene she had just "seen," Lin Xiaoyan looked at the child who continued to run around the store with complicated emotions.

Lin Xiaoyan looked at the parents who were enjoying their food and walked up to them, saying, "Aren't you going to take care of your child?"
"Your child runs around everywhere, bumping into things. Aren't you worried about whether he'll get hurt? Or whether he'll bump into someone he shouldn't be bothered with?"

Lin Xiaoyan emphasized the last sentence.

Upon hearing Lin Xiaoyan's words, the couple looked up and sized her up.

Suddenly, he chuckled, "You're not saying you're someone we shouldn't mess with, are you? Hahaha... I didn't realize!"

Nancy walked over with a cold face, her sharp gaze fixed on the two of them.

The couple felt uneasy under her gaze, avoiding her eyes and wondering if the girl's identity was truly different...

"Sister Nan, let's go back."

Lin Xiaoyan tugged at Nanxi, and after hearing this, Nanxi stopped looking at the two people and followed Lin Xiaoyan to pay the bill and leave.

After leaving the hot pot restaurant, Lin Xiaoyan called He Qi'an.

Having finally escaped his grandfather's nagging and returned to his room, He Qi'an saw his girlfriend calling and immediately answered.

"Hey, Yan Yan..."

"Hey, I'm at a hot pot restaurant on ** Road right now. A murder is about to happen here..."

After hanging up the phone, Nancy looked at Lin Xiaoyan, who had no expression on her face.

"Just now...did you specifically go and remind that couple?"

Lin Xiaoyan glanced back at the hot pot restaurant and nodded faintly, "Mm."

However, they didn't appreciate it.

Lin Xiaoyan checked the time. "It's still early. Shall we go for a walk? Sister Nan, you're familiar with this area, do you know any fun places to go?"

Nanxi looked at Lin Xiaoyan, somewhat incredulous. She looked at Lin Xiaoyan intently.

"Xiaoyan, you..."

Lin Xiaoyan looked up. "Hmm? What's wrong?"

Nancy looked at Lin Xiaoyan and found that she didn't seem to be acting strangely, but she still felt a little uneasy.

"fine."

Nanxi took Lin Xiaoyan for a walk around the neighborhood and showed them some scenic spots that were free to enter without reservation.

After walking around for a while, Lin Xiaoyan looked at the sky and said, "Sister Nan, do you feel that there was something wrong with my attitude just now?"

Suddenly returning to the previous topic, Nanxi looked at Lin Xiaoyan, thought for a moment, and said, "Yes, ever since I met you, every time you encounter something, this time is very different from before. Why?" Lin Xiaoyan quietly looked at a cloud in the sky and said softly, "I don't know why either. It seems... my mindset has changed."

When I first gained this ability, it felt unreal.

At the same time, it's also a source of pressure.

"I wondered at the time why I was given this superpower. Was it so that I could save the world?"

"Hahahaha..." Lin Xiaoyan laughed as she said this.

"Isn't that silly?"

Nancy shook her head. "Many people would probably think that way when they suddenly encounter an opportunity."

Lin Xiaoyan continued, "From that time on, whenever I encountered something, I would do my best to save those people, whether they were good or bad. Of course, bad people will still be punished by law."

Later, when I got to know Fifteen and the others, I discovered a problem.

Sometimes, when you want to change something or save someone, and you do it, will they listen to you?

"I don't know why, but now it seems like I've developed an immunity to the images I see..."

Lin Xiaoyan smiled, "I think I'm becoming more aloof..."

"cold?"

"Yes, when I see something happen, I used to empathize, feel anxious, worried, and scared..."

Now, when I see those things happen again, I seem to have gotten used to it, and I've become someone who looks at those things from a third-party perspective…

Lin Xiaoyan thought for a moment and found a very apt description, "It's like watching a movie clip, Sister Nan, do you understand?"

Nancy nodded. "I understand."

"Sister Nan, do you think my current situation is... good or bad?"

Lin Xiaoyan asked.

Nancy thought for a moment and said, "I think it's good for you."

"Why?" Lin Xiaoyan turned to look at Nanxi.

"Because you said that you felt empathy when you saw those scenes before!"
This is very bad for someone like you who often has a knack for predicting the future.

Over time, you will develop psychological problems.

Of course, I know you see a therapist every now and then, which suggests you might be experiencing some kind of problem.

Lin Xiaoyan nodded, "Yes, because when I was doing missions before, I had to come into contact with a lot of people, and you know the scenes I saw were mostly unpleasant, so..."

Nancy: That's right, that's why I said your current situation is a good thing for you.

At least, seeing those images won't make you feel bad.

Lin Xiaoyan: "Sister Nan, do you think I'm heartless and cold-hearted?"

Nancy: How could that be!
Take the hot pot restaurant incident today, for example. Even if you hadn't noticed, the incident would have definitely happened.

So what you should do now is stop morally blackmailing yourself.

Listening to Nancy's words, Lin Xiaoyan suddenly had a flash of insight, and her state of mind changed again.

Lin Xiaoyan smiled and said, "I understand. Thank you, Sister Nan."

When Nancy saw Lin Xiaoyan finally smile, she breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Lin Xiaoyan and Nanxi walked slowly back to the hotel together, chatting a lot along the way.

For the past six months, Lin Xiaoyan has been burdened with a heavy feeling in her heart.

Just like Nancy said, it seems that she has always been morally bound and imprisoned by herself.

To put it bluntly, she has a bit of a saintly heart.
