Chapter 2100: Choices for Superpower Users

Gu Yixing’s eyes lit up and he asked, "Are you my fan?"

The girl shook her head: "You’re too old, my mom likes you."

Gu Yixing wasn’t angry, instead he laughed: "The kids of my fans, not bad, grown up so much."

"A celebrity?"

"Hmm, seems a bit familiar."

"I know, it’s that guy who’s been only making space movies lately."

"Oh, oh, oh, it’s him. He used to shoot fantasy movies all the time, then something went wrong, and he kept filming astronaut stuff, and those domestic dramas aren’t even good. I haven’t seen him in years."

"If he’s a celebrity, then there’s probably no reason for him to harm us, right? Can’t be short of money to the point of capturing us to sell our organs!"

"Not necessarily, there are many corrupt celebrities, lots of addicts, what couldn’t they do?"

"That’s true, definitely not a good person!"

Gu Yixing was annoyed: "Get the situation straight, we’re the ones who saved you!"

"Saved us? What does tying us up mean, why did our Special Abilities fail?"

"You think we wanted this?" Gu Yixing replied irritably: "In the past, Special Ability users we saved attacked as soon as they woke up, completely ignoring the truth of the situation. I ask you, if you weren’t tied up, your abilities hadn’t failed, what’s the first thing you’d do when you wake up?"

"This..."

"Seems... it makes some sense."

"If I woke up not knowing the situation, I might act impulsively, make myself safe first."

"I would also attack those two strangers, subdue them first and then talk about it."

Gu Yixing shrugged: "Because of this, we’ve been hurt several times, so we learned. Now when we save people, we tie you up first and give you a shot to temporarily suppress your Special Abilities, then explain everything."

Qin Xin pointed to the person locked in the container: "This person drugged you to take you away. Now that Blue Star’s Spiritual Energy is reviving, many people’s Special Abilities are just awakening, making them easier targets."

"Special Abilities can be stolen?" someone exclaimed: "Aren’t they unique to us?"

Cheng Guodong sighed: "To survive, people transplant organs. To become stronger, some transplant Special Abilities."

"Damn! Heartless bastards! My Special Ability almost got stolen!" a man clenched his little finger, looking devastated as if he’d just lost his parents.

"Now that it’s all explained, can you untie us?"

"Yes, it’s too uncomfortable."

"Okay." Gu Yixing went over to untie them.

Cheng Guodong spoke: "You have two choices now: one is to stay on the vehicle, which will go straight to the military, where you’ll serve. The other..." He took out a box full of transparent small vials that looked like injections.

"You just awakened your Special Abilities not long ago, so you can still choose to live as ordinary people. Lose your abilities, and those wanting to transplant Special Abilities won’t target you anymore."

"No! Impossible! Who would choose to lose their Special Abilities once they have them?"

"It’s better to be dead than lose something you once had!"

"Yeah, it’s better to kill us!"

"Do we women have to serve too?"

Cheng Guodong nodded: "Gender equality."

"Can we discuss this? My Special Ability was weak to begin with, nobody would bother to transplant it, I’m not useful, and I’m too timid for battle. Can you let me go?"

"I’m timid too, don’t want to join the military, my... my ability is not useful either, just a little water comes out of my finger, and that water isn’t really helpful..."
