Chapter 2: Because You Met Me

In the superpower era, even an ordinary person who had not awakened an ability still had mental power.

Of course, that was not the point. The point was that she had seen what would happen to this man one minute later.

Mm, what a pity for that pretty face.

When Fu Qing Han saw that Jiang Shi Yue still had not answered, the corner of his mouth lifted slightly. He poured himself a cup of water, a simple action, yet it still made people unconsciously keep watching.

The shimmer of water in the glass reflected off his long fingers, making his knuckles look even more distinct.

Then he handed the cup to Jiang Shi Yue in an unhurried way, seeming quite patient as he waited for her answer.

Jiang Shi Yue glanced at him, took the cup, and spoke with a hint of regret, yet with unusual sincerity. “Sir, in one minute, you will be assassinated here.” As she spoke, she gestured at the spot over her own chest, as if to make her words sound more convincing.

There was no coyness and no panic. This girl who had suddenly appeared in Fu Qing Han’s room woke up and said something like this to him for no reason at all.

“Look, right here – frost power straight through the center of your chest, not off by even a hair. Your heart will freeze in an instant and shatter. The other side really is an expert.”

When she finished, Jiang Shi Yue clicked her tongue twice in a sigh. The way she shook her head was especially annoying, the kind that made you want to smack her on the head.

If there had been a second person in the room, they might have thought this girl was young, but seriously ill in the head.

Yet Fu Qing Han showed no sign of anger. His distant, weary eyes lifted slightly, casual and half-smiling. His voice dropped low, but it was unusually clear. “So you’re saying I’m definitely going to die?”

“Of course. I said you’re definitely going to die.”

Jiang Shi Yue beamed. When she smiled, her eyes curved like crescents, adding brightness to what should have been a pale face. “But it’s no big deal, because you met me. And you’re good-looking, so I don’t want you to die.”

Fu Qing Han’s brow twitched. In the misty light, it gave Jiang Shi Yue a strange sense of unreality.

The room suddenly fell silent. But the instant Jiang Shi Yue’s lingering last syllable faded, she heard the clear sound of glass shattering. If you slowed it down, it would feel almost rhythmic, cracking bit by bit, crisp like wind singing.

In fact, to Jiang Shi Yue, the sound had already slowed. She even saw the shards of glass that flew outward moving like slow snails, each one following its own track.

This was her ability. As the most talented awakener of the younger generation, if she was within half a meter of someone, she could see the critical event that was about to happen to them. Besides that, she could also use time slowdown.

A dazzling beam of pale blue light scraped against the air and sparked into tiny flames as it shot straight ahead, bit by bit.

Jiang Shi Yue instantly mobilized all her mental power, just like every time before.

But a sharp pain suddenly flashed through her mind. It was only for a moment. She frowned, then reached out her right hand without hesitation, like pinching a flower, and easily plucked that pale blue beam of light from the air in front of her…
