476: Chapter 11 Opening the Door to Kill_2 476: Chapter 11 Opening the Door to Kill_2 Gongsun Ce immediately closed his eyes and raised his hand to cover his face.
Even telekinesis was of no help; rolling up the liquid that used to be clothing to splash on her would only make the atmosphere even more awkward, not to mention it was tactile!
He could totally imagine what would happen next: the puppet-like girl’s face turning as red as a ripe shrimp.
Resigned to his fate, Gongsun Ce lowered his hand and desperately used telekinesis to suppress the activity in certain parts of his body.
“So, you called Mr.
Gongsun over bright and early in the morning,” Gongsun Ce tried to say some nonsense to lighten the mood, “as a display of the health and beauty of a young woman?”
“——Pervert!”
The sound of the slap this morning was even louder than last night.
Half an hour later, Gongsun Ce, with a swollen face, said helplessly,
“Even though I am 0% responsible, don’t you have 100% of the fault?”
Right now, the two were having breakfast at a snack shop downstairs.
Gongsun Ce’s breakfast consisted of a bowl of soy milk, two dough sticks, and a meat bun, while Qin Qianbai ordered milk, fish slice porridge, pancake rolls, fried cakes, and a bowl of tofu brains.
For an ordinary girl, this was quite excessive, but for a superpower user, it was fairly normal.
“…”
The girl sipping her porridge glared at him with an expression full of resentment, like a wronged cute little animal.
Qin Qianbai was now dressed in a crudely designed white hoodie and trousers.
This simple white outfit was Gongsun Ce’s quick thinking.
If he hadn’t timely prevented her from going berserk under the pretext of “put on clothes then talk,” he was afraid he’d be chased by the neighbors for the entire day again…
just thinking about it was terrifying.
“Looking at me with those eyes won’t help, I can’t unsee what I’ve already seen.” Gongsun Ce said weakly, “Ultimately, it’s your own problem with controlling your ability.
I invited you to breakfast, so let’s call it even, okay?”
Qin Qianbai slowly chewed her pancake and said, “The ingredients aren’t fresh…”
Are you that picky about a breakfast?
What more do you expect from a street stall?
It’s good enough you didn’t get a semi-finished product.
“With the spare time you’ve got to criticize breakfast, you’d better learn quickly how to control your power.” Gongsun Ce pulled out the little thing he found yesterday, the crescent-shaped earring, “Is this yours?
I picked it up at that place yesterday.”
Qin Qianbai said expressionlessly, “I am not such a frivolous woman to pierce my earlobes for a moment’s vanity.”
Apologize to all the fashionable women who wear earrings.
Besides, are you still a woman at your age?
If you’re not of age, just be a good girl.
“Do you even know how to spell ‘keep up with the times’?”
Qin Qianbai mimed writing in the air.
“I’m not literally asking you if you can write!
What’s going on with your thought process?” Gongsun Ce said with a headache, “I almost forgot, why did you seek me out so early in the morning?”
Qin Qianbai’s eyes, reminiscent of a curse master, became awkward upon hearing this.
“…Nothing anymore.”
“What?”
She said softly,
“I don’t have, the money.”
Gongsun Ce almost laughed out loud.
“Hey, Missy, don’t tell me you don’t even have the money for breakfast?”
She nodded frantically.
The gray-haired young man couldn’t help but laugh heartily.
“This really is, how many years has it been since I’ve seen such an idiot!
Don’t rush to hit people; let me guess…
Initially, you could still control your powers, so your luggage must have been with you.”
When he encountered her last night, there wasn’t even a suitcase by her side, which was illogical for a new resident.
Even if most of the luggage came by mail, at least the change of clothes would be carried with.
“During this period you didn’t look closely at the housing contract and casually bought a new house, maybe even spending the last of your account balance on some new clothes…
or perhaps you splurged in a high-end hotel?”
The girl stopped eating.
She didn’t move at all.
Seeing her like this, Gongsun Ce knew he’d guessed right.
Her clothes yesterday were obviously high-end, and she was so finicky about her food; it made sense she spent her money on these things.
“The real estate agent told me the furniture was all there…” The Miss argued.
“But that’s not what the contract says, is it?”
“That’s a scam.”
“It’s your fault for not checking properly.”
Well, that would be the reason for her distress.
“At that point, everything seemed to be going smoothly for you until something happened.
An event triggered your emotions, causing your powers to spiral out of control.
Your bizarre power destroyed your luggage and most likely your cash, which is why you found yourself in such an embarrassing situation.” Gongsun Ce adjusted his glasses, “What exactly happened?
It must have been a fight.
After all, your aggression is strong, and you were carrying a katana when you appeared there last night.
Still, you don’t seem like you would provoke trouble.
So…”
Gongsun Ce pondered for a moment and shared his suspicion.
“Gangsters dressed in black, decent people in white uniforms, clusters of youths with no apparent commonality — you were involved with one of these three…
no, you had issues with more than one of them.”
“!”
Qin Qianbai’s expression revealed a surprise he too could understand.
Just as he thought.
It was understandable for her to catch the attention of the lower ranks of the Wing of Death with her skills and beauty.
Her superpowers were strong, and she came from a wealthy background; those idiots from the Light Core would naturally want to recruit her.
As for the members of the Mutual Assistance Association, they had probably gotten mixed up in it.
After all, her out-of-control power could easily affect ordinary people, and it was only normal for those affected members to seek an explanation.
