Chapter 52
The area where Lu Shu lived used to be home to officials and dignitaries in the '70s, also known as the "yard of the Western family".
Following the constant development of the city, the original inhabitants moved to a better place, leaving their old houses to rent or sell them.
Even when the past family yard turned into the slums of today, it was still considered a pretty interesting place.
Lu Shu originally rented the place because of its close proximity to Luo Cheng International School which made traveling easier. Moreover, the apartment had a courtyard and a hut that were usually more expensive than the price Lu Shu paid.
There was a small road leading to their apartment after entering the place and by the time he had reached their cottage, it was now 9:40 pm and the sky was already dark.
Just as Lu Shu was about to head to his apartment, the door of his neighbor opened.
The aunt whose medicine had always been poisoned by Lu Xiaoyu, came out as a young man followed right behind her.
A faint yellow light from the room enveloped the two and Lu Shu was startled. The young man standing behind aunt has left a deep impression on her – "Zhi Wei".
Just last night, Lu Shu once again noticed that Zhi Wei donated 1 distress point to him.
Zhi Wei had left a significant mark on Lu Shu, who was unlike the others.
He was present at the scene that happened to Liang Che.
And Lu Shu saw it again from the fire disaster news report the other day.
Hence, Lu Shu had already noticed and consciously attributed it to the metahuman situation. The only problem is that he is unsure of the other party's actual identity and why he is always connected to incidents related to metahumans.
Now that the other party had appeared at his neighbor's house and was acting very familiar with him, Lu Shu felt that something was a bit strange.
He never thought that he would have a metahuman as a neighbor. Given that one was a kind aunt and the other was a grandfather who suffered a stroke, they had lived in the area for over 10 years.
It never crossed Lu Shu's mind that perhaps his own neighbor could become a metahumans since one of them was only a kind aunt whereas the other was an elderly who suffered a stroke. Even among the neighbors, it is mentioned that both of them have lived here for more than 10 years.
However, with Zhi Wei's appearance, it sounded a hint of alarm in Lu Shu's heart. If one of the neighbors was involved with a metahuman, there would come a day where Lu Shu would be involved with a black coat. And that would definitely suck at **.
Lu Shu first planned to remain silent and stand in the shadows from afar and would return to his place only after Zhi Wei left because he did not want to get involved with the young man. On second thought, he realized that the path in front of his house was only 3 people wide and it was inevitable that he would be noticed. Therefore, he then continued with his head lowered.
Just to hear Zhi Wei speak in front of the door, "Auntie, there is no need to send me away. I'm grateful for all the years you've been caring for that old fart. He should have felt better after taking the pill and if there were any other relics available, I would have tried my best to obtain them. "
The aunt whispered back, "There's no need to thank me, I was the one who initially volunteered to take care of her."
"Alright then, I'll leave now," as Zhi Wei walked out of the door. As he turned around, he saw Lu Shu walking towards him with his head raised.
Zhi Wei's eyes twinkled. Such a familiar silhouette, how could he possibly forget?
When she went to find Liang Che who was supposedly a metahuman at first, she had met this teenager. Trying to be polite at the time, she greeted him with "Hi, nice to meet you" and the answer he received had been bothering him for days!
It wasn't that he was triggered at that answer, but, the fact that he couldn't think of an answer to Lu Shu's words most irritated him even though he considered himself quite intelligent and intelligent. This incident made him feel as if his intelligence had deteriorated …
Imagining Lu Shu's face filled with shock from her answer, she couldn't help but feel happy.
However, the problem was that he could not find the teenager anymore. It was as if he had a nuclear warhead ready but could never launch it, causing him to feel uneasy inside.
If Lu Shu knew exactly what Zhi Wei was thinking, she would understand why this man had given her distress points until last night …
With lips curled in a corner and full of confidence, Zhi Wei walked towards Lu Shu, "Hi, nice to meet you".
"It's too early for you to be happy," Lu Shu realized what Zhi Wei was planning when she heard what came out of her mouth – she was obviously looking for trouble! Lu Shu thought for a moment and relayed his answer to trigger Zhi Wei again. He continued walking past Zhi Wei and opened the door with his key, entering the house.
Leaving Zhi Wei stunned, he felt truly terrible.
Why do you have so many tricks up your sleeve ?! How unreasonable can you get? I'm being very polite in greeting you and in the end, all you have to say is that it's too early to be happy ?!
Can't you adjust to the logical flow of the action!
The cold air in early spring exploded from the ground at high speed while Zhi Wei stood glued to the ground with a priceless expression on his face.
He never expected Lu Shu to issue a reply that he could not follow up with …
"From Zhi Wei's distress, +419!"
Zhi Wei turned his head stiffly and asked, "Auntie, does she live right next to you?"
"Oh, you mean Shu, his name is Lu Shu. Yes, he lives beside us and he's a good boy," while he laughs at Zhi Wei who was shot down by Lu Shu, as if he had seen an interesting scene .
Zhi Wei took a deep breath, "Auntie, please please don't tell anyone about this."
"Sure" as she smiled happily.
Lu Shu closed the door as he entered his house and looked at the danger points coming from Zhi Wei. Right after the initial cut of 419 points, distress points come constantly at the rate of +2 +2, compared to the previous level of +1 +1 …
But more importantly, he was deep in thought, why did Zhi Wei appear here? Just when he shocked Zhi Wei, Lu Shu was convinced that from the other party came a powerful surge of energy, that the surge of energy, unfortunately, had surpassed Xi Fei.
This, however, was the second and what Lu Shu was willingly unwilling to think about was the real reason why Zhi Wei had appeared here. At that moment when he interrupted Zhi Wei, Lu Shu was sure that he felt a huge surge of energy being emitted from him. Such an amount of energy, might already be able to surpass Xi Fei's energy.
What medicine did he offer the old man and what about the relic he mentioned?
Zhi Wei said that "if there are other remains available", it can be concluded that there are already relics available out there and 'the cure' comes from those remains.
There were too many things that Lu Shu did not know in this world and tonight was the first time he heard this foreign term – 'remnant'.
Even if he could confirm that Zhi Wei was a metahuman, what about the true identity of his neighbor? The aunt said that she voluntarily took care of the old man and judged his tone, it felt as if the two of them were from some sort of organization. This was completely different from the rumors in the surroundings that referred to him as the old man's son-in-law.
What the hell, the world has started to turn in the opposite direction. How do neighbors usually start to get weird too?
