Chapter 13: Chapter Thirteen: The Origin of the Ability

In this situation, aside from resorting to the clumsy method used at the very beginning, there are no other extra options.

"Things of void and reality are like that ethereal dream, ungraspable yet possessing the most genuine touch. You should have adapted to the ability you possess by now. Everything still requires you to explore on your own. Why it exists, even I do not know. So, farewell. If you wish to find the answer, come to the 'Realm of Shattering Void'. This is where the ability appears. As for the general region, I do not know, so do not expect to get any information from me. I only hope you can grow up quickly, find this place through your own ability. Young man, I have high hopes for you!"

At this moment, an ethereal voice that only Yi Zhen could hear came through. From this very moment on, he believed he had indeed obtained a special ability, because no matter how he shouted in his heart, the words showed no sign of stopping at all. They just kept muttering on their own, as if talking to themselves from beginning to end, yet the sound only rang in Yi Zhen's ear.

As for shouting with his mouth, it was as if it were blocked. No matter how he opened his mouth to speak, the two people beside him still maintained their original postures: one was carefully searching for a mobile phone, while the other was staring blankly, acting as if stunned. If not for the orchid-finger gesture still raised on his hand, one might say he looked a bit silly, and it made one want to beat him up very much.

Alas, now except for his head moving, everything else was as if under a body-stabilizing spell. No matter how he tried to move, it was all Bai Da. Instead, he only tired himself out even more. This, this, this, who could he appeal to for justice? To the 'Realm of Shattering Void'? He didn't even know where the place was, so how could he go looking? Forget it, forget it, take life as it comes. Since he has an ability, he must make some name for himself. How about first becoming the top student in the class? This brain might have truly been modified; now, recalling questions he used to prepare for but always forgot the answers to, he solved them within a few breaths, even listing complex formulas.

He now discovered that being restrained had a few benefits; his thoughts could enter a state of focus very quickly, unlike the weak and listless appearance he had just now. Even with energy injected, it was like a drop in the bucket. Besides simply satisfying a craving, the help to himself could only be described as negligible. That was why he was so eager to go out and seek food; it was all to fill his stomach. The purpose was extremely strong and accurate.

Of course, under these premises, a mobile phone was also needed. Whether it worked or not, he must bring it when going out. Could he possibly ask someone else to go out and bring him a meal? That wouldn't do. He already owed three pancakes. He must earn his own keep. He was never one willing to beg others unless truly forced by desperation. Coincidentally, this voice had also helped him, and incidentally let him sort out the matter.

With this, perhaps if he just had a mobile phone, he could recover from this damn state. For now, he could only wait for Zhen Lin's good news. Sigh, he didn't expect to need guidance from the voice in his ear to realize this. It seems he must be more sensitive in the future. This enhanced brain shouldn't be in vain, otherwise, what's the difference from being useless?

As for now, his state was a bit strange. The voice had no intention of responding to him, and after finishing speaking, it simply chose to disappear. Although he successfully regained control of his body because of this, the aftereffects from forcefully twisting his body earlier still persisted. It could be said that his state had become even worse and more terrible. His mind had become chaotic again, making it difficult to concentrate on thinking. The whole person still looked powerless. He was really tired, really sleepy, and wanted to sleep, yet also felt a bit excited, so he could barely hold on without falling asleep...

No one noticed the slight changes in his state. Everyone continued doing their own things in an orderly manner: those staring blankly stared blankly, those searching for things searched. It actually seemed quite quiet.

Zhen Lin had already searched the ground basically thoroughly, yet he hadn't even seen a shadow of the mobile phone. He simply chose to turn back and ask Yi Zhen for the general direction.

Searching for too long without finding anything makes people easily lose their composure and search slowly.

"Yi Zhen, Yi Zhen, do you remember which side it fell on? If you can state the approximate location, it would be much easier to find. Now, we haven't seen even a single hair."

Zhen Lin directly skipped over Ming Yang, who looked like a silly fool, and selectively ignored him. Since he had already promised Yi Zhen's words, he must take concrete action. It was impossible to respond to one person and then immediately talk to the other in the next breath; what difference would that make from a person who breaks their word? Unless Ming Yang truly repented and reformed, then he might be willing to break his promise. As for now, go wherever it's cool and stay there. He was too lazy to even pay attention.

"Near the door, near the door. You search carefully; it should be right around here. Sorry for the trouble."

Hearing Zhen Lin's question, Yi Zhen forcibly recalled the position where the phone disappeared before he fainted. Although doing this made his head ache unbearably, he had no choice but to do it, because it concerned whether he could recover quickly. Suffering and tiring a bit now was nothing; soon the bitterness would end and sweetness would begin.

Fortunately, although his mind was chaotic, he could still recall some things from it. A blurry image appeared: it was a hand, his own hand. The mobile phone with the lit screen was still showing the customer service page. Then he noticed it slipped from his hand and flew forward. Judging by the direction at that time, it should indeed be on this side of the door. Afterwards, the image completely vanished; he remembered nothing. No matter how he recalled, no image appeared. It could only be said that he never experienced it, but the location was certain, which was enough. The rest became not too important. Since he couldn't think of it, he shouldn't be too hard on himself.

"Ok."

Zhen Lin also understood. With that, the scope was successfully narrowed. If it was just this side of the door, it would be quite easy to find. After all, the surroundings were quite open. It wouldn't be the case that he squatted down and scrutinized various spots yet saw nothing. Whether it was there or not, one glance would be enough to tell.

"Not at the front door. Let's check the back door."

Zhen Lin's search speed increased considerably. He even checked the corners beside the door, but found not much. However, there was no need to be discouraged now. There were still two places near the door. After searching two more places, he would finish the job. Sigh, he would have to take a cold shower later; it was really hot enough. The weather here was a bit strange. When it was hot, it was very hot; when it was cold, it was very cold. There were only a few days of normal weather. It could even suddenly rain. Just as you were drenched with a shower of dog blood, it would strangely stop automatically. The big sun was still operating tirelessly. It was really annoying.

Putting aside these problems of changeable climate, he still needed to search for now. Yi Zhen did not have a habit of lying. Without confidence, he naturally wouldn't say it. So, although what he wanted most was for Yi Zhen to point out the specific location, since Yi Zhen himself couldn't be too sure, he would just search in this area. Anyway, he would find it eventually. He had to trust Yi Zhen, the young one!

He pulled the open large door, twisted the handle, and closed it along the way. This also made it convenient to search for things. The area behind the door became completely visible. Except for a few shoe prints stepped out, one could say he saw nothing.

Not there either?!

That was a bit difficult to handle. If it wasn't under the storage rack either, he could directly declare that the result of this search was still a failure. That wouldn't be good.

Reflexively, he turned his head to look in Yi Zhen's direction. He happened to collide with Yi Zhen's gaze. Everything was understood without saying much. He knew Yi Zhen had been observing this place all along, just waiting for the moment when the phone was retrieved to show the most exciting scene. He still had to finish the search before making a conclusion. Perhaps he had just forgotten details before; now he had to look carefully.

Retracting his gaze, Zhen Lin simply squatted down again. This time, he took out a mobile phone in his hand and had already decisively turned off the lights on the nearby control panel. Then he pressed the flashlight button on the mobile phone and shone it towards the position under the storage rack to search.
