Chapter 73 My Superpower is Foresight
Chapter 73 My Superpower is Foresight
After putting away the target and entering the village, Chen Fan could feel that the village was much more lively. He could faintly hear children playing and mothers scolding each other from not far away.
In a daze, one gets the illusion that this is not the end of the world at all.
Chen Fan smiled and shook his head, then walked towards home. He would find Uncle Zhang to spar with him after dinner.
"Um, Chen, Chen Fan?"
Just then, a clear and melodious voice, like that of a nightingale, rang out behind him.
Chen Fan turned around, and in the darkness of the night, a long-haired woman was looking at him timidly.
"Is it her?"
Chen Fan's pupils contracted.
The woman in front of me is Meng Yu, the one Uncle Qin mentioned earlier.
At first, it gave him a strange feeling, which led to misunderstandings from others. However, in the past two days, he has been so engrossed in martial arts that he has almost forgotten about it.
"You were looking for me?"
"Um."
Meng Yu bit her lip, looking embarrassed. "Are you free now? I have something very important to tell you."
"Is it something important?"
Chen Fan was taken aback for a moment. "Then wait here for me. I'll go back and let my parents know. Otherwise, I'm afraid they'll look for me."
"OK."
Meng Yu agreed, watching Chen Fan's figure disappear quickly into the distance, her hands unconsciously placed on her heart.
"If I do this, will I be letting my sister down?"
She bit her lip. "My sister told me not to tell anyone about this, or I would end up like her. But if I choose not to tell, someone will die, and it will be someone who is very good to me."
Just then, a figure quickly approached. "Sorry to keep you waiting."
Chen Fan smiled at her: "Your name is Meng Yu, right?"
"?"
Meng Yu opened her eyes wide.
"I've heard Uncle Qin mention you before."
Chen Fan offered an explanation, then asked, "What was the important thing you mentioned earlier?"
Meng Yu glanced around, looking guilty, and then said softly, "Can we come in and talk? It won't take up much of your time."
A look of surprise flashed in Chen Fan's eyes. He nodded and walked in.
A bonfire was burning inside the house, which was simply furnished but clean.
He had just sat down on the stool.
A soft sound.
Meng Yu closed the door.
"?"
Chen Fan couldn't help but swallow hard. What was going on? Even if it was something important, was there any need to close the door?
Besides, it was already late, and there wouldn't be many people wandering around with nothing to do.
Meng Yu seemed to notice that the atmosphere was a bit unusual, and quickly waved her hand, saying, "No, it's not what you think. It's because this matter concerns my safety, so I can't let anyone else know."
"Is it related to your safety?"
"Um."
Meng Yu nodded, walked to the table and sat down. After hesitating for a moment, she slowly said, "Actually, I am an Awakened One."
Chen Fan's eyes widened instantly, his face showing shock.
"You, you are an Awakened One?"
"Um."
Meng Yu and Chen Fan locked eyes, their expressions calm.
Chen Fan took several deep breaths. No wonder the other party was so cautious. Something's not right.
He asked doubtfully, "Miss Meng Yu, if you are an Awakened One, there's absolutely no need to hide it, is there?"
"Other types of awakened beings might be able to, but I can't."
Meng Yu understood Chen Fan's implication, looked down at the table, and said, "Because my special ability is to foresee the future."
"!!!"
Chen Fan was completely petrified.
Predict future?
While this is indeed a type of superpower, do such awakened individuals, who are practically bug-level, really exist?
"I know you don't believe me, but my sister and I have awakened the ability to foresee the future."
Meng Yu sounded a little nervous.
"And your sister?"
Chen Fan subconsciously looked around. There were only the two of them in the room, and he also remembered that Uncle Qin had said that Meng Yu had come here alone, not with someone else.
"My sister is in Anshan City."
A deep sadness was evident in Meng Yu's eyes.
"In Anshan City?"
Chen Fan subconsciously thought, "Isn't this a good thing? It's a place that so many people long to go."
But Meng Yu's eyes told him that things were not as simple as they seemed.
"Your sister?"
"My sister has been taken into custody."
Meng Yu's eyes were red and swollen. "Although we are both Awakened Ones and have the same abilities, our control over our superpowers is worlds apart."
"My ability to foresee the future can only appear in the form of dreams, and the things I foresee are not 100% certain and are not under my control. But my sister can use this ability at will and foresee what she wants to know."
Upon hearing this, Chen Fan suddenly realized, "So, your sister is ostensibly being protected, but in reality, she's being held captive and constantly predicting the future for others."
"Um."
Meng Yu looked at Chen Fan, a hint of unease flashing deep in her eyes.
Before revealing her identity to Chen Fan, she had feared more than once that she would suffer the same fate.
However, as the saying goes, time will tell. Over the years, Chen Guodong has treated everyone in the village equally, unlike other village leaders.
Chen Fan, as the other party's son, also possessed a kind and righteous heart, which was the biggest reason that gave her the courage to act.
"How is your sister?"
Chen Fan had a bad feeling.
As expected, Meng Yu shook her head and choked up, saying, "My sister has been overdrawing her life force; I'm afraid she won't live much longer."
"What?"
Chen Fan was startled and stared into the other person's eyes.
"Does using superpowers by awakened individuals drain their own lives?"
Meng Yu gently shook her head, "No, it's just that our abilities are somewhat special."
"Is it somewhat special?"
"Yes, ordinary people have their limits, and so do awakened ones. They can't do things that exceed their abilities, even if they want to. But we are different. Theoretically speaking, we can predict anything, as long as our spirit can hold up."
"You mean if the spirit can't hold on, it will consume life force as the price?" After saying this, Chen Fan felt a chill run down his spine.
A hint of surprise flashed in Meng Yu's eyes, then she nodded. "That's right. Not everything can be predicted. The more people involved, and the more powerful those people are, the greater the price we will pay."
My sister once told me that we can have a mental warning about whether something can be predicted, what the consequences will be, and whether we can bear the consequences.
However, knowing all this, she was forced by those people to constantly use her ability to foresee the future. In just a few years, she had aged to look like she was in her seventies or eighties. But, but…
Meng Yu burst into tears, "She is my twin sister."

Also, thank you to Cheng Shifei, JessonMa, Book Friend 20181208161703349, Zi Ye Han Shuang, gfdgsyrtyr, Trash Can Me, and Just Sleep for your paragraph donations. I guess I couldn't help but want to say something, but I found out that I need 1 fan value to comment, haha. Sorry, this is just to filter out some noise, like people criticizing the book just because they see the title and synopsis, or calling it a "saintly" novel after reading only the first chapter. It really affects my mood. Anyway, the whole world is quiet today.
