Chapter 581: My Superpower

"Dad also said that back then!"

Zhang Yan lost control of her emotions; judging by her appearance, even the slightest pollution could cause her to turn abnormal on the spot.

"The official organization sent senior investigators, and they invited me."

Older brother revealed his identity as a Level 2 Official Action Member, and said as such.

"I have no reason not to go."

"Do whatever you want!!!"

Zhang Yan also realized she had no say, tossed off a line, and entered the room.

"....."

Being a Level 2 Official Action Member is where most ordinary people stand, but older brother was immediately promoted to Level 3 Elite Action Member; in just three years, advancing one level per year, older brother is undoubtedly a genius.

"Brother, are you really going?"

"Definitely, come with me this afternoon, and leave me a little blood vial."

Zhang Jie sighed, feeling somewhat helpless.

"Remember to leave the money when you go, okay?"

"You little brat!"

Older brother laughed while rubbing Zhang Jie's head; at this point, saying any sentimental words is useless, better to be frank, which won't affect a person's will.

"When I'm not around, you need to take good care of your sister."

"You shouldn't be saying this to her, should you...."

"In this family, the only one who really needs looking after is her."

Zhang Jie:......

"Oh right, this martial arts manual is for you."

The antiquated martial arts manual was taken out, and Zhang Jie hesitated to take it for a long time; just thinking about its true nature made him feel nauseous.

"Hold it."

In the end, Zhang Jie still forced himself to take it, but it didn't feel slimy; it felt like normal old paper.

"Your sister... anyway, the one who is likely to awaken will is you."

"Keep practicing; you're quite special, older brother believes you'll become stronger than us."

"Let's go."

"Older brother said 'right away,' and indeed it was right away; he made a small blood vial pendant that afternoon, left home directly three days later, and even didn't say goodbye to Zhang Yan."

"But Zhang Yan knew; she just silently leaned by the window, watching older brother leave."

"Over the next few days, Zhang Yan kept a listless face, didn't speak, and all meals were prepared by Zhang Jie."

"Little Jie....."

"Sis... are you really useless..."

Her emotions have serious problems; if she doesn't self-regulate well, she really won't be able to awaken her will during this period.

But when faced with this, who could truly remain unruffled? Unless you're an emotionless machine.

"Older sister, about this.... you shouldn't worry too much."

"There are precedents of people surviving a hundred years in the Forbidden Zone; older brother is just a bit impatient, but we two aren't in a hurry, and can't be."

"Because being anxious wouldn't help us either."

"........"

"Soul-less!"

Afterward, the siblings chatted about many things; Zhang Yan's mood improved somewhat, but... actually not much.

In the huge house, now only the two of them remain; is Zhang Jie suffering? Of course he is, but he doesn't know why, his emotions remain steady.

Perhaps he's just cold-hearted, but he always feels that his parents aren't dead yet—a feeling that comes out of nowhere, baseless, yet that's how Zhang Jie feels.

Life.... still has hope.

"As expected, older brother also went silent; you feel helpless, wistful, anxious, and you deeply remember the name of that Forbidden Zone."

"As for that martial arts manual, you originally planned to just leave it be, but you keep feeling uneasy for some reason, and your sixth sense always gives you weird feelings."

"You picked up that martial arts manual, suppressed the urge to shift your vision, and opened the first page."

"Whoever reads this book, please answer my few questions first."

"First: Can you see... the other side of this world?"

"!!!"

Zhang Jie flipped the book cover back and forth twice; it's a pity, this isn't a hardcover from a bookstore—no author, no pen name, just solid content.

"Second: Is your will steadfast?"

As for that, Zhang Jie's emotions are always steady—so steady that even he himself doubts it.

"These two questions don't really affect you substantively; I just hope you can think about this matter carefully."

Alright, a few meaningless words, and then the real topic begins....

"After practicing the martial arts manual for half a day, Zhang Jie went through the motions, but..... perhaps because he hasn't awakened his will, he didn't feel anything out of the ordinary."

"Helpless, you could only put down the martial arts manual, shift your attention elsewhere; you're about to enter high school soon, but... you also want to try to see if you can awaken your will earlier."

"Life... just goes on like this, making do; your older sister still hasn't awakened her will, and she never gets past that hurdle."

"And fate always likes to play jokes on you, always like this....."

"One night, after you finished a busy day of studies and came home, you saw Zhang Yan crying her eyes out."

"They're dead... dead!"

"That's what the officials said! Little brother! That's what the officials said!"

Zhang Yan both cried and laughed, holding the phone in his hand, the message on it Zhang Jie hadn't looked at, but he also knew what it was.

I told him not to go! He just wouldn't listen!!!

Now it's good! Now it's good!!! Just the two of us left!

They had still held out hope, but well, now it's good, confirming death, this is nothing short of.... giving this family the final blow.

Little brother.... sob... dad and them....

Just the two of us left......

Inner turmoil surged, intense emotions like an undissolvable substance, viscous, flowing in his blood.

Zhang Jie recalled the words his older brother said before leaving; he... still had to take care of and the older sister.

Zhang Jie gritted his teeth, swallowing all his emotions, looking at his older sister crying so hard she couldn't catch her breath, he forced himself to speak.

What.... what is this, just confirming missing persons, not dead!

Older sister, do you know, when older brother left, I also gave him a bottle of blood.

Actually, I've never told you, I have a superpower, able to sense their condition through blood.

This is why I haven't been sad all along; I can feel that they're still alive, and doing well!

..... you... you don't lie to me!

'Sorry, older sister.....'

Zhang Jie still laughed and said those idealistic words....

Right! I didn't lie to you! They're not dead! I guarantee!

They're probably trapped in a place where time flows differently, you know, there are too many cases like this.

You believe my older sister!

You... don't lie to me!

If you lie to me! If you lie to me! I will!

I'll ignore you for a year!
