The woman on the other end of the phone said quickly: "I'm not afraid that you will be embarrassed, I'm afraid that you will accidentally hurt others."
"No, I assure you, my condition is much more stable than before." The middle-aged man said sincerely, patting his chest as if his wife was right in front of him.
His wife said helplessly: "I have heard this too many times, Li Tingwei, you really can't control yourself. You are no longer the same person you used to be. You seem to have become a different person since you met the ghost eyes."
"
Li Tingwei's eyes suddenly widened and his breathing became rapid. He slammed the table in front of him and said bitterly: "Don't mention that name! Don't mention that devil!"
His hand accidentally hit the ashtray on the table, and his finger was cut. The faint pain made him wake up a little, and he took out a few tissues and wiped the blood on his hand.
His wife heard the noise and asked, "Ting Wei, are you throwing something again?"
Li Tingwei said quickly: "No, I just accidentally knocked over the cup." He said in an almost begging tone: "Can you let the child answer the phone? I haven't seen him for a long time, let alone his appearance.
I can barely even remember his voice."
The woman on the other end of the phone was silent for a while and said apologetically: "Let's wait for another day, the child has already fallen asleep."
Li Tingwei clenched his fists and stood up suddenly from the dirty carpet. "You're talking nonsense! He should have just finished his evening self-study at this time..."
"He was tired today, so he went to bed early. Ting Wei, the child is studying very hard now, and I am also working very hard every day..."
Li Tingwei interrupted his wife angrily: "I just want to talk to my own son!" His eyes widened and veins popped out on his neck.
There was a long silence on the other end of the phone.
Li Tingwei grabbed an empty beer can and held it tightly in his hands. He twisted the beer can into a shape and wanted to vent his grievances. After a while, he murmured: "I'm sorry,
I'm really sorry. I shouldn't have yelled at you. Huiying, maybe after I return to you and the child, I will feel much better and it will be more conducive to my recovery. Let me go home, okay?"
His wife let out a long sigh and said, "I also want you to come back, but... the child is afraid of you."
Li Tingwei said sadly: "He is my son, how can he be afraid of me? Will I hurt him? Huiying, listen to me..."
"I'm sorry, it's quite late now. I'm afraid I'll wake up the child. Let's talk another day." Li Tingwei's wife Liu Huiying hung up the phone in a hurry, not even leaving him time to say goodbye.
"Hello, hello?" Li Tingwei listened to the "beep" sound coming from the phone, and the last hope in his heart was shattered. He sat slumped on the ground, his eyes a little moist.
He stretched out his hands and covered his yellow and thin face tightly, tears welling up from his fingers. His thin shoulders trembled, and he let out a mournful scream in his throat.
After a while, he burst out laughing crazily. He recalled the way Guimu stood in front of him with a syringe. A frightening smile appeared on Guimou's face, and his voice made him feel terrifying. "
Come, join our team. Don’t give up the opportunity to become a superpower, maybe you will be the chosen one. This world belongs to the strong. I want those useless people to crawl at our feet."
What a chosen one! He is clearly the outcast!
Li Tingwei threw everything on the table to the floor, and the sound of breaking glass was particularly harsh in the silent night. He looked at his dark and small room with tears on his face, feeling that his relatives had abandoned him and the whole world had abandoned him.
.
He lay down on the shabby sofa and buried his head into the pillow. He cried softly and let his tears soak his clothes and pillow.
The dusty light bulb on the ceiling suddenly began to flicker on and off, and the buzzing sound of electricity reached Li Tingwei's ears. He suddenly became alert and hurriedly rummaged through the drawer to find a locked one.
box.
He opened the box in a panic and took out the syringe and the medicine that suppressed his abilities. He looked down at his hands and murmured: "Are you starting again?"
There was a knock on the door suddenly. Li Tingwei impatiently picked up the remote control on the sofa and slammed it against the door. "Let's go! Get out of here! I told you I have no money now! If you can, just kick me out."
Get out!" He yelled at the top of his lungs, his face flushed. He had lived alone here for a long time, and no one cared about him at all. Not even his wife and children would come to see him. So he thought that only one person would come to him at this time.
Maybe it's the landlord who's here to demand money.
The person outside the door did not speak, but kept knocking on the door. The corridor was originally quiet, but the knocking on the door seemed particularly clear at this moment.
When Li Tingwei became excited, the current in the room became even more unstable. The gray light bulb flickered back and forth and suddenly exploded.
It happened that when someone came to him, his superpowers showed signs of recovery. If others noticed his abnormality, he would not only be kicked out, but he would also be regarded as an alien again. Being ostracized by others,
The feeling of being looked down upon by others is not pleasant. If he is judged as a dangerous person again, he will cause trouble to his wife and children. By then, it will be even less likely that he will have the chance to be readmitted and return to his family.
Li Tingwei hurriedly turned on the desk lamp, trying to use the weak light to inject medicine that would inhibit his abilities immediately. But before the needle could penetrate his skin, he smelled a burning smell.
He turned around suddenly and found that thick smoke was already coming in through the crack in the door.
"Fire, fire!" panicked screams came from the corridor.
Li Tingwei quickly put the syringe back into the box and hurried to the door. But when he opened the door, he saw not only billowing smoke, but also a strange man.
Zhang Wendong, who was standing at the door, said: "Your neighbor's house is on fire. Come on, follow me!"
Li Tingwei broke away from his hand, took two steps back warily, and said, "Who are you? You don't live here at all. I have never seen you!"
Zhang Wendong said anxiously: "Ahem, don't talk so much, hurry up, it will be too late if you don't leave!"
Li Tingwei stared at Zhang Wendong, feeling that his appearance was somewhat familiar. After a while, he said in panic: "You are from the Security Bureau! Are you here to arrest me?"
