Chapter 71: Road Trip Tips
After the counselor gave in, Tang Xinjue did not hesitate: "After I lost my fighting ability, I needed the protection of my roommate, but my roommate lost an arm during the exam."
She pushed Zheng Wanqing forward.
The counselor only took one look and understood the cause and effect of the wound. She thought seriously for a moment and then spoke softly:
"Sometimes, loss does not mean incompleteness, but the beginning of another kind of opportunity."
Zheng Wanqing lowered her eyes and looked at her empty sleeves. Then she heard the counselor say: "I can't make your body grow again. I hope my blessing can make you healthier and stronger."
The blessing was generated, and an imperceptible glimmer of light fell on Zheng Wanqing. She subconsciously touched her head, "Thank, thank you."
"You're welcome." The counselor said with a smile, "So..."
"So since people's bodies can get injured and sick, then-" Tang Xinjue changed the subject without leaving a trace, with a sincere and innocent expression: "Will our awakened superpowers also get sick?"
She spread out the superpower weapon in her palm and let it spat out a stream of water.
The counselor's attention was successfully diverted and she blurted out: "Oh yes, this is your power. It's very connected to you, which is rare. How did you awaken it?"
After Tang Xinjue explained the reason for the awakening, Once again, she suddenly realized: "So, it is part of your daily necessities."
The counselor said with great interest: "No wonder I feel very friendly and interesting when I see it. What is it called? What is it used for in your lives?
Tang Xinjue nodded: "It's called a toilet plunger, it's used to clean the toilet."
Counselor: "..."
After understanding the meaning of these words, she nodded dryly: "That's it... Ahem, I can only feel that its problem is not serious. Don't worry, the superpower is connected to the main body, and if it suffers major damage, the main body will sense it before anyone else."
In short, it was not a big problem.
Tang Xinjue, however, did not intend to let the other party get away with it and immediately asked for the specific repair channels.
This stumped the counselor. She concentrated on thinking for a long time, and finally clapped her hands: "There is a special repair shop in the university town, and its business should also be extended to students. I do have the contact information of the repair shop, but it’s a pity that I can’t express it into symbols that you can understand. You can only try my luck in the exam..."
Before he finished speaking, she saw a pink flip phone in Tang Xinjue's hand.
"If the contact information cannot be relayed, why not try entering it into the mobile phone address book?"
Counselor: "???"
She took the phone in a daze, and after saving the number, she scrolled down and suddenly said in surprise: "Does it still have my contact information? Is this your cell phone? How did you get it?"
Tang Xinjue took it back calmly, "A friend of mine gave it to me."
The counselor responded for two seconds and gradually realized something. “For many local students in University Town, mobile phones are very precious. Did the friend you mentioned give it to you voluntarily?
She seemed to understand why Tang Xinjue could have such an outrageous number of high-level marks.
"Sending a goose feather from a thousand miles away is a light gift but heavy sentiment*. In fact, the value of a mobile phone is not important to us. As ordinary students, we can get care from different friends during the exam. Ahem," Tang Xinjue covered her mouth, she coughed twice weakly: "Perhaps this is the greatness of friendship."
*It is a metaphor for a gift that is cheap, but deeply affectionate because it was sent from such great distance. This came from a story from the Tang Dynasty where an envoy brought a rare white swan from thousands of miles away as a gift for the emperor, but the swan escaped on the way, leaving only a goose feather. The envoy explained and read this poem, which was appreciated by the emperor.
"..."
The counselor's tone was tactful: "Classmate Tang, judging from the fact that you were able to resist my summons and scolding just now, it shows that your mental power is very strong. Coupled with the bonus of your natal abilities, logically you can pose a threat to some local students. Don’t belittle yourself."
At this moment, the girl was as weak as the wind. If she hadn't just witnessed Tang Xinjue wipe away the blood from her seven orifices with an expressionless face, she would have almost believed it.
Tang Xinjue's face was not blushing and her heart was not jumping either: "The bug in the examination system proves that this judgment may be wrong. Just like the classmate Guo Guo you are possessing at the moment, although she has a psychic physique with yin and yang eyes, she is even more timid and fragile than me. I wonder if this will cause any psychological shadow in the future..."
The counselor had never been so clearly aware of what it means to be on pins and needles - if she stays any longer, a layer of her skin may be peeled off.
Finally getting up, she quickly glanced at the time and said, "Ah, the visiting time is here! Sorry, classmates, I won't disturb your rest."
"Wait a minute." Tang Xinjue suddenly called out, Pointing to the mobile phone address book of the newly added contact, he smiled and said: "College is connected by a thread, and meeting each other is fate. To facilitate contact next time, I wonder what the counselor's name is?"
The counselor was shocked, even contacting her next time??
Tang Xinjue emphasized: "After all, you started and were responsible for our [Partial Subject Assistance Plan]."
"...I see."
Was there any way to immediately change the timeline and prevent her from making decisions in the past?
In the end, she could only smile and express her determination next time, while she tiredly and quickly pulled away from Guo Guo's body.
The red eyeball resumed its movement, and it gradually blurred and faded in the darkness. Tang Xinjue observed this scene carefully. After her eyeballs completely disappeared, she put her palms against the glass window.
- As cold and biting as before, the darkness silently hit the glass window, trying to erode the flesh and blood in her palms.
Tang Xinjue turned on [Counselor’s Encouragement], and she seemed to be able to feel a subtle change in her aura.
At the same time, the surging darkness quieted down and stopped hitting the balcony window.
This time, she stood in front of the window for a long time. The darkness reflected the thin face, and in the long silence, a smile finally appeared.
"Xinjue, are you okay?"
came the worried call from her roommates behind her.
"It's okay." Tang Xinjue shook her head, her eyes were astonishingly bright, and she slowly said:
"I just thought of a happy thing."
At six o'clock in the morning, Guo Guo looked at Tang Xinjue in front of her, hesitatingly asked: "Xinjue, are you really okay?"
After Tang Xinjue checked the part of the documents, she raised her head tiredly and said, "I’m okay."
Guo Guo: ...but you have two big black circles under your eyes. It doesn't look like you're okay at all!
With their current body functions, they could easily stay up late without leaving dark circles. For someone like Tang Xinjue to have such black eye bags at the moment, she must have been using her brain at high speed all night long, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to sort out a stack of documents.
The three of them, Guo Guo, were looking at Tang Xinjue while munching on biscuits, exchanging worried glances.
They believed that Tang Xinjue was probably stimulated by the counselor yesterday.
After all, the counselor mistook her for a dark creature and almost killed her on the spot. She also said that even the examination system might mistake her for a ghost, and all of this came from the excess of dark aura in her body, which was not like a human being. For a normal person, this was nothing short of terrible news.
Five minutes later, Tang Xinjue put down her pen and exhaled: "It's done!"
She spread out a dozen pieces of paper filled with notes: "You should still remember what happened last night. The counselor is right. There is indeed a lot of darkness, yes, it is the darkness of dark creatures."
The three of them were tense, preparing for Tang Xinjue - once she showed frustration and doubt, they interrupted her and used their lifelong psychological knowledge to comfort her.
Tang Xinjue took out a piece of paper and pushed it in front of the three of them: "Look, what is this."
Zheng Wanqing: "It's close to a triangular pattern. Is this some new mathematical modeling?"
Guo Guo: "A water bottle with a big belly."
Zhang You: "A cone-shaped space?"
Tang Xinjue shook her head, her eyes flashing with excitement: "This is my brain."
Three people: ???
She filled it with wavy lines and asked again: "What is this?"
This time the three of them did not dare to answer easily. After a while, Zheng Wanqing looked serious:
"Is this the water in your head?*"
*HAHAHAH she’s quipping that Xinjue is being a bit nuts. 脑子里的水, literally water in the head, is to describe someone who has a problem with their mind, or to answer someone who asked a very weird question.
"..."
Tang Xinjue's eyes were wild: "These are those dark auras."
She added four strange circles in the wavy lines, "I don't need to say these, you should also understand."
Zheng Wanqing blurted out: "This represents the four of us always be together—ummm——"
Guo Guo blocked Zheng Wanqing's mouth, carefully looked at the four strange polygons on the paper, and came to the conclusion: "Based on the information from last night, these should be the four marks left by ghosts on your body, right?"
Tang Xinjue finally nodded and straightened up: "In the past three years of nightmares, my mental power that was different from ordinary people, the dark aura that eroded me, and these marks, everything about it…
"Today, I finally understand better.”
