I have big problems with my superpowers and my relationship

Because it is so unpretentious, there is no need to even wash the dishes.

It was the same on weekdays. Lu Chen brought lunch boxes every day and would just tie them up in a plastic bag and throw them away after eating. It was very convenient.

I guess Xia Yunian would never sweep and mop the floor every day like Qingbao.

The reason why this house still remains as clean as it was when she first moved in is probably because it is rarely used.

"I came to see you today mainly because I have something to ask you."

Sitting on the sofa, Lu Chen thought about the wording and decided to get straight to the point.

"The night before yesterday, Lu Guanghong... Lu Shuyu's father found me and wanted me to do him a favor."

"To put it simply, it's to help him find a secret."

"This secret was left by Lv Haichuan...Lv Shuyu's grandfather. It can open a safe."

"I don't know what's in the safe, but Lu Guanghong said it's something very important to their family..."

Considering that Xia Yunian was also a person with super powers, Lu Chen did not hide anything this time and quickly explained the situation.

Including the fact that Lu Haichuan is also a person with super powers.

The former responded by...

"Oh."

Oh? ? ?

What does it mean? ? ?

"Didn't you say before that I would know the truth about the destruction of the world because of Lu Shuyu?"

Lu Chen frowned: "So is this the case?"

"Yeah, sounds like it."

Xia Yunian's expression was very calm, and he didn't seem surprised by such an outrageous story.

But judging from her answer, she obviously did not "foresee" such a thing.

"What do you mean by like?"

Lu Chen stared at her, hoping to get further answers.

But Xia Yunian just blinked blankly.

"Like, it is like."

"No, then why is it similar?"

"That grandfather can see the future, so he may know the reason why the world is destroyed."

"...So you mean this is what's in the safe?"

"Ah."

"Okay, let's think alike..."

Lu Chen rubbed his chin, thinking.

He had previously felt that the safe might not be the straw that could save Tongsheng.

After all, if it was a "magic trick" that Lu Haichuan left for Lu Guanghong, then there was no need for him to set a password that even his son could not guess.

Is this really some kind of "end-of-the-world prophecy"?

Did Lu Haichuan go crazy because of what he saw?

Forget it, this is not important.

The password is what's important.

If Xia Yunian's "prophecy" is true, and I will really learn the truth about the destruction of the world because of this incident, then it means that I can definitely guess the password.

This point is consistent with what Lu Guanghong said.

But so far, I still have no idea...

"What do you think the password will be?"

Thinking of this, Lu Chen looked up again and asked Xia Yunian: "I haven't found any clues yet, do you have any ideas?"

"I do not know."

Xia Yunian shook his head decisively, indicating that he could do nothing to help.

"Don't you claim to be very smart? Just give me some advice."

Lu Chen was unwilling to give in. After hesitating for a moment, he expressed another guess.

"By the way, I think the reason why Lu Haichuan forgets a lot of things is probably the same as yours."

"Like me..."

Xia Yunian was stunned for a moment, his eyes suddenly became dim, he bit his lips lightly and said nothing.

Obviously he understood what Lu Chen meant.

Lu Chen didn't mean to poke at her scars, he just wanted to ask about her mental journey, and then compare it with what Lu Haichuan was thinking, to see if he could find some breakthroughs.

Therefore, even though he knew that Xia Yunian was in pain at the moment, he continued:

"I'm afraid the reason you gave up some of your memories to enhance your superpowers wasn't for stronger abilities, but simply because you wanted to forget some things."

"I talked to Lü Haichuan once. He almost forgot all the important people and things, but he could remember the unimportant things. This does not fit the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease, so I think he is in this situation too."

"So what are the specific rules for giving up memory enhancement superpowers? Does the exchange have to be completed in one go, or can it be done multiple times at any time?"

"Can I choose which part of my memory to discard?"

"Why haven't you forgotten so many things?"

"And, you... you really have no recollection of that memory you want to forget?"

Looking at Xia Yunian, Lu Chen asked a lot of questions in one breath.

Although I was a little hesitant when asking the last question, I still asked it in the end.

Xia Yunian kept her head down the entire time without any reaction. The sunlight shone through the window onto her thin shoulders. She was so quiet that even her breathing was barely audible.

Outside the window, a distant bell rang again, but this time I couldn't tell whether it was the bell for the start of class or the end of get out of class.

Just when Lu Chen thought that her brain had crashed and she didn't hear what he asked at all, Xia Yunian finally raised her head, her eyes moist, but she shook her head very lightly.

"No, not at all."

"...Then why are you crying?"

"It's the tears that flow out by themselves."

As it turned out, Xia Yunian's brain was not frozen.

Regardless of whether she really has no recollection of that painful memory, she is still quite clear about the matter of "using memory to enhance super powers".

So after wiping away her tears, she quickly answered Lu Chen's questions in detail.

Simply put, the "retention" and "enhancement" of super powers are not subject to the same rules.

Keep it, but the cost is that the superpowers in the next stage will be weakened, and there will only be one chance to choose.

The person with super powers will have a clear sense when the super power is about to enter the next stage, and only then can they make this choice.

If you choose to keep the abilities from the previous stage, you will have both a "low-level ability" and a "weakened high-level ability".

If you do not choose to keep it, you will have a complete "high-level ability".

Take Lu Chen himself as an example.

If his superpowers are about to enter the next stage, then in the few minutes of the advancement process, he can choose to retain his ability to "communicate with everything" and at the same time gain a weakened version of the "time stop" ability.

As for what the time pause will be after the weakening, I don’t know.

It is possible that others can pause for three minutes, but he can only pause for three seconds.

Anyway, this is the situation. You only have one chance to choose, and if you miss it, you will never get it again.

But “enhancement” is different.

According to Xia Yunian, any superpower user above the second stage can give up part of their memory at any time to enhance their superpowers.

Unlimited times, no upper limit.

Start with the most important people and things in your memory, forget the most unforgettable ones first, then those that you can't forget, then those that are still relatively impressive... until you forget everything.

Of course, this process can be controlled.

For example, Xia Yunian stopped talking after she forgot where her parents had gone.

And because this experience was probably the most unforgettable one for her, she was able to remember most of the things besides that.

And Lv Haichuan...

"That's not right. Why did Lu Haichuan forget almost everything?"

Lu Chen thought for a long time, frowned and asked: "His son, his grandchildren, his career, why can't he remember all these important things?"

"This shows that the things he wants to forget are not as important as these."

Xia Yunian thought about it for a while and silently gave his own guess.

"He forgot some things, and found that they were not what he wanted to forget, so he chose to continue forgetting."

"Until you forget what you want to forget."

"Uh......"

Lu Chen was stunned. He didn't expect there could be such an explanation.

He could understand what Xia Yunian meant.

Because the memories that need to be sacrificed to enhance superpowers are arranged in order from "important" to "unimportant".

However, the things that Lu Haichuan wanted to forget were not the people and things that were most important to him, so he could only keep forgetting until he developed Alzheimer's disease.
