Zhou Zhengning is often called stupid.

He has no talent in English at all, and Lu Yaoyao is the unchanging number one in a single English subject for thousands of years.When Lu Yaoyao taught him grammar and words, Zhou Zhengning couldn't remember them and would be called stupid.

Every time after the artificial rainfall in the Garden of Eden, the earthworms in the flowerbed vegetation would crawl onto the road, and they would be trampled into flat pieces if they were not careful. Zhou Zhengning always took the time to send the earthworms back to the flowerbed one by one. Lu Yaoyao couldn’t understandHe, sometimes getting impatient with waiting, would call him stupid.

Zhou Zhengning was always begged by his classmates to do this and that, some asked him to help on duty, some asked him to help make the form, some asked him to help pick up the ball, and he never refused.

Lu Yaoyao looked annoyed, and after two or three times, she took Zhou Zhengning back one by one, asking them to do their own things, and then she folded her arms and taught Zhou Zhengning a lesson for a long time, to the effect that she still called him stupid.

"Everyone begged me for help. Anyway, I have nothing to do, so I can help if I can. What if they are really in a hurry?"

Zhou Zhengning didn't think it was a big deal. For him, it was a matter of spending more time and it was not difficult to do.

Lu Yaoyao didn't think so, she was very angry with this:

"What's the rush? What's the rush? They just look at you to talk, so they pile up all the things for you. How can it be like this?? Can you grow your brain and learn to reject others?"

Lu Yaoyao patted Zhou Zhengning on the back vigorously:

"Hey, Zhou Zhengning, you are my little follower, you are not allowed to do things for them, do you hear me?"

At this time, Zhou Zhengning would always nod his head, but he would never remember, and would do it again next time.

Zhou Zhengning's parents are very busy, they go out very early and come home very late every day, Zhou Zhengning is always hungry at home alone, but fortunately he has a good relationship with his neighbors, Lu Yaoyao's mother cooks more for him every dayI want him to come to the house to eat together.

It was the same today. In the evening, Zhou Zhengning took the little cat to the next door neighbor's house. Mother deer likes small animals. She prepared chicken breast for the little cat, and everyone had dinner together.

At the dinner table, Lu Yaoyao was still complaining to her mother about the origin of the kitten:

"I told you not to pick up the supernatural person's cat, but he still insists on taking it back. I'm speechless. He knows how to love the cat. When the time comes... Heh, I'll see who will love him."

Saying that, Lu Yaoyao turned over Byakugan angrily.

Mother Lu smiled and put a piece of ribs in her and Zhou Zhengning's bowls:

"A kitten is also a life, Ah Ning is a kind child."

"What's the use of kindness, and it can't be eaten as food."

Lu Yaoyao took a bite of the ribs:

"Kindness is worthless, it can only cause trouble for him! Look at him, he can't do anything, and he is always being bullied openly. You can't say he is kind, you can only say he is stupid."

"Yaoyao!" Mother Lu frowned:

"How do you talk?"

After being taught a lesson by her mother, Lu Yaoyao stuck out her tongue and became silent.

Zhou Zhengning did not participate in their conversation. He lowered his head to eat. After a while, there was the sound of someone turning the lock outside the house. Then, the door was opened from the outside, and a middle-aged man walked in.

He looked about forty years old, with messy hair, a cigarette in his mouth, wearing an old leather jacket, and smelled of alcohol when he came in.

He had a fierce look on his face, seeing him coming in, Lu Yaoyao didn't speak, and Mother Lu just asked "I'm back", only Zhou Zhengning said "Hello, Uncle".

Uncle Lu ignored him at all.

He just walked to the dining table, took a look, and asked casually:

"What did you do today?"

As he approached, he saw the little cat eating chicken breast with his head down by the corner of the dining table.

"Grass."

Uncle Lu frowned, and he went straight over, kicked the kitten's rice bowl, and fell to the ground with the cat, getting up and running around in fright.

Uncle Lu looked at the cat with disgust:

"The family didn't have much money, why did they get a beast to eat for free? Who got it? Be careful that I kill it!"

Zhou Zhengning was shocked, he hurried over to hold the kitten in his arms, and kept apologizing:

"I'm sorry, Uncle, this is a kitten I picked up. I don't know if you don't like it. I'll take it away now."

Hearing that Zhou Zhengning picked up the cat, Uncle Lu didn't continue to lose his temper. After all, this is not from his own family, and he is not qualified to teach him a lesson.

He just snorted coldly:

"If you don't learn well all day long, you know how to pick up cats. Your parents should teach you well."

Uncle Lu kicked the kitten's rice bowl again in a fit of anger.

The metal rice bowl hit the ground, making a loud, crisp sound.

Zhou Zhengning closed his eyes, trembling with fright, holding the trembling kitten in his arms, and raised his eyes to look at Uncle Lu.

Uncle Lu's face was full of impatience, and on the dining table beside him, Lu Yaoyao quietly flipped a Byakugan, Mother Lu sighed slightly, and squatted down to clean up the rice bowl that was kicked over by Uncle Lu.

Zhou Zhengning knew that he was causing trouble to others again.

He was embarrassed to stay longer, and after apologizing, he quickly left Lu's house with the kitten.

After that, he and the kitten became a family.

Lu Yaoyao would often come to his house to play, but she always frowned and disliked him:

"You're so stupid. You can't do anything well. You can't raise a cat. You see how dirty it is. You don't know how to give it a bath? Don't you like it? If it doesn't like to eat, you still want itHungry to death."

"Hey, how many times have I told you this knowledge point? Why can't you remember? You're so stupid."

"Zhou Zhengning, did you promise Er Fatty to help him on duty again yesterday? He said he would do it for you next time? I'm really convinced, he lied to you! Why don't you have a long memory?"

Zhou Zhengning has been disliked by Lu Yaoyao since he was a child.

He knew that although Lu Yaoyao didn't speak well, he had a good heart, so every time she talked about him, he listened quietly and never refuted.

The days passed in such a noisy way, Zhou Zhengning and the little cat became a family, he would still help his classmates on duty, he would still pick up earthworms after the rain, he still couldn't learn English and was scolded every day.

He continued his stupid kindness, but things didn't seem to be as bad as Lu Yaoyao said.

In order to thank him for his help, some classmates brought him a lot of snacks. He also made many good friends because of this, and received the most small red flowers and gifts at the gift exchange meeting.He picked up earthworms after the rain, and some children came to laugh at him, but he was scolded by his mother. The mother took this opportunity to teach the children a lesson in reverence for life. Only then did the children realize what they had done wrong, and apologized to Zhou ZhengningFinally, he also squatted down to pick up earthworms with him very seriously.

Zhou Zhengning felt that his kindness was not useless.

As long as he can help the people around him even a little bit, that is his greatest satisfaction.

But life is not always smooth, and accidents are always hidden in unexpected places.

One day in English class, Zhou Zhengning took notes seriously as usual, but the English teacher’s voice sounded like a lullaby. As he listened, he saw double images in front of his eyes, and even his head was like a chicken pecking at rice.point.

My deskmate Lu Yaoyao noticed it, and she gave him a slap with her arm, reminding him in a low voice:

"Hey, don't fall asleep, or I will waste my time explaining the knowledge points to you again, and I will beat you to death."

Zhou Zhengning nodded repeatedly and rubbed his eyes.

In fact, he didn't want to sleep either, but the hypnotic sound kept drilling into his mind, and he couldn't understand a word of the teacher's lecture.

Zhou Zhengning sighed inwardly.

He was wondering if there was anything that could refresh him and relieve his boredom.

However, at the moment when this thought appeared, Zhou Zhengning suddenly had a very subtle feeling.

It was as if a tiny electric current had passed through his heart, which was numb, and he was instantly awake. His tired body was full of strength and very relaxed.

He froze for a moment, not knowing what this meant, but just looked down at his hand.

His hand was originally under the desk, not holding anything, but at that second, there was something square in his hand.In order to prevent it from falling, he subconsciously curled up his fingers to hold it, and cast down his eyes——

A third-order Rubik's cube.

Zhou Zhengning's back was covered with cold sweat.

He belatedly realized the situation.

Although he is not very interested in supernatural powers, as citizens of the Garden of Eden, they can often listen to the causes and conditions of the white tower's scientific supernatural powers.

Something like this inexplicably appeared in my hand...

Zhou Zhengning's heart turned cold:

It is very possible that he has awakened the ability.

"What are you doing? Sneaking away again?"

At this moment, Lu Yaoyao, who was beside him, asked.

"oh……"

Zhou Zhengning quietly hid the Rubik's cube in his desk:

"nothing."

Lu Yaoyao glanced at him suspiciously, then looked away and continued to listen to the class.

And Zhou Zhengning's heart was in a mess. Although the matter had not been determined yet, he had uncontrollably begun to imagine his future situation.

People with supernatural powers have a special status in the Garden of Eden. In order to prevent accidents, the White Tower has strict control measures for them.

If someone in the Garden of Eden awakens the ability, the White Tower will entrust the Ability Research Institute to conduct an ability test on it.He was sent to the Central Academy for training, classified according to ability, and became a talent reserve for the Sixth Division of the White Tower.

And if the owner's personality and background are not well controlled, or his own ability is not outstanding enough, he will be put on a monitoring ring and driven to live in the marginal area.

Zhou Zhengning didn't think he was a talent, he automatically turned himself into the kind of person who would be sent to the fringe area.But he didn't want to leave his home, he didn't want to leave school, and he didn't want to leave his current peaceful life.

In his fifteen years of life, he never thought that such a one-in-a-million thing would happen to him.

He struggled to think of a solution.

If this is really a supernatural ability, what should he do?He can hide it, but concealing it is not a solution after all. He doesn't know what to do, but no one can discuss it with him.

Because the reason for the spread of the α virus is unknown, White Tower can usually only use blood tests to detect the α concentration in the human body to determine whether it is a supernatural being.

In fact, Eden often conducts such a nationwide screening, but there are still some people who hide the fact that they are supernatural beings because they don't want to go to the fringe area.

Under such circumstances, the White Tower introduced a reporting system.If the residents take the initiative to report the supernatural beings around them, and it is verified to be true, then the whistleblower can get up to 50,000 bonuses as a reward.

Although Zhou Zhengning is simple, he is not stupid.

He didn't dare to show his suspected supernatural ability to others, and he didn't dare to tell anyone. He knew that in this situation, the only one he could rely on was himself.

So, he stretched out his hand and silently pushed the little Rubik's Cube deeper into the desk.

After that day, Zhou Zhengning looked restless every day, he stopped going to Lu Yaoyao's house for dinner, and stayed with his kitten every day.

Lu Yaoyao didn't pay attention to it at first, but within a few days she noticed something strange about him.

They grew up together, and Zhou Zhengning knew what Lu Yaoyao was going to do by just moving his fingers, so on the third day in a row when Zhou Zhengning was depressed, she blocked Zhou Zhengning in the small garden downstairs when she returned home.

She held Zhou Zhengning's wrist, ready to question him:

"Hey, little follower, what's the matter with you recently? Are you broken in love?"

Zhou Zhengning shook his head.

"Someone bullied you again?"

Zhou Zhengning still shook his head.

"Then what's the matter? Talk!"

Lu Yaoyao ran out of patience.

Zhou Zhengning looked into her eyes and hesitated a little.

In the past few days, he actually thought about whether to tell Lu Yaoyao about this matter, after all, they are good friends who grew up together, and they used to discuss everything together.

But in the end Zhou Zhengning still shook his head:

"It's nothing..."

After finishing speaking, he didn't dare to look Lu Yaoyao in the eyes, and wanted to flee home with a guilty conscience.

But Lu Yaoyao stood behind him and said angrily:

"Zhou Zhengning, do you consider me a friend? Why, you have your own little secret and want to break up with me? No, tell me when you encounter difficulties? Let's figure out a solution together."

"No..."

Zhou Zhengning wanted to cry but had no tears.

He turned his head to look into Lu Yaoyao's eyes, and in the end, he was defeated after she said "If you don't tell me, we will break up on the spot".

Lu Yaoyao has a nonchalant temperament, and it is difficult to coax him well when he is angry.Moreover, Zhou Zhengning has been tortured by this incident for the past few days, and he was very tempted when he first heard Lu Yaoyao's words "good friends figure out a way together".

He struggled for a while, and finally chose to trust her.

"Then let me tell you, don't tell anyone."

Zhou Zhengning looked around and made sure no one was there, so he pulled Lu Yaoyao aside and took out a third-order Rubik's Cube from his pocket.

Lu Yaoyao was playing with the Rubik's Cube in his hand, not understanding what he was going to do mysteriously:

"Isn't this just a Rubik's Cube? What on earth are you going to tell me? Someone confessed to you with a Rubik's Cube?"

"No, you give it to me."

Zhou Zhengning took the Rubik's Cube back from Lu Yaoyao's hand again.

The Rubik's Cube was originally in a disordered state, but Lu Yaoyao randomly twisted it twice just now, and put the two colors together.

But at this time, the Rubik's Cube returned to Zhou Zhengning's hands, and the color that was touched by Lu Yaoyao just now also changed, and it became the same as it was before it was in her hands.

Lu Yaoyao was stunned.

She knew that there was only one possibility for this supernatural phenomenon.

Lu Yaoyao thought of it immediately, she frowned, staring at the Rubik's Cube in Zhou Zhengning's hand, her expression became more serious.

She pursed her lips and suddenly called out emotionally:

"I told you not to touch the supernatural being's cat, but you didn't listen!"

Lu Yaoyao pushed Zhou Zhengning hard, causing him to stagger:

"What did I say? It's all over now! Zhou Zhengning, your kindness is not only useless, but also harmful!"

Zhou Zhengning also didn't understand why Lu Yaoyao was so angry suddenly.

He was stunned, and subconsciously wanted to pull her, but was thrown away by Lu Yaoyao:

"Don't touch me! Don't infect me too, I don't want to go to the fringe area to be that lowly superhuman!"

Hearing this, Zhou Zhengning froze for a moment.

The hand that he wanted to touch Lu Yaoyao also stopped, and finally dropped slowly.

Lu Yaoyao ran back upstairs without looking back, while Zhou Zhengning stood there alone for a long time.

At that time, he thought that Lu Yaoyao was just angry, and tomorrow, at most the day after tomorrow, she would come over and teach him a lesson as usual, and then the two would continue to be good friends, continue to go to school together, and continue to raise kittens together.

At that time, he never thought that it would be the last time he and Lu Yaoyao would meet.

He even didn't expect that the next morning, what woke him up was not the alarm, but a heavy knock on the door.

It was still dark at that time, he rubbed his eyes and opened the door, outside the door stood several order guards in uniform.

The leader showed his ID to him:

"Is that Zhou Zhengning? We received a report from Ms. Lu Yaoyao, saying that you have been infected with α and have awakened abilities. According to the relevant regulations of the White Tower, now, we need you to come with us."
