Chapter 23: They Must Pay Compensation In the dimly lit basement of a rundown house, a middle-aged man with a square jaw and black hair punched a teenager in the stomach. "Did I ever say you could take side jobs without permission?" Wei Shi narrowed his eyes at Hayato Shigenobu, who was now crouching in pain, clutching his abdomen. Retribution had come. "You never said we couldn’t," Hayato grinned at him, baring his gums. Wei Shi grabbed him by the hair and yanked him up. "Did no one teach you to…-

Chapter 24: Want To Snatch It From The Cat? "Ah-yee ya-ya——" “Smack.” The alarm clock was silenced by a slap. Dressed in pajamas, the girl half-squinted her misty, sleep-laden eyes, staring blankly out at the still-dark sky. It was six o’clock. By the time she found Mi Xiaoliu’s place, it would be just about the agreed 8:30. If she was lucky, she might even be early. She checked the mirror—sure enough, a cowlick stuck up on her head. It was more noticeable with her short hair, although by…

Chapter 22: Did You Kill Him? Unlike in TV dramas where they always arrive late, the police showed up fairly quickly this time, sparing Lu Mingxue from freezing too long in the cold. She had lain trembling on the icy soil for what felt like ages before mustering the courage to search the three young corpses for a phone. Even locked, emergency calls could still be made. Wrapped in the coat Officer Chen handed her, Lu Mingxue turned away from the three battered bodies. "There were four in black. One got…

Chapter 20: Deliver Justice on Heaven’s Behalf Bang! A loud crash of a stick striking metal echoed. “All right, that’s the last one on this street.” Then came the sound of footsteps approaching. The girl, now awake, still kept her eyes closed, suppressing the natural instinct to open them upon regaining consciousness. She had no idea what kind of situation she was in and didn’t dare reveal she was awake in front of these people. Thinking back—she had acted too rashly. She had been too…

Chapter 21: Forced To Play The Hero Inside a battered old van sat four men in suits who looked completely out of place. "Mr. Silver, there's a car on our left that’s been tailing us for a while. Every time I speed up, it does too," the driver said, glancing at the man in the passenger seat who was shuffling a deck of cards with practiced flair. The only one dressed slightly differently—marking him as the minor boss of the group—wore what looked like the same suit at first glance, but on closer…

Chapter 19: Children Are Innocent The sound of police sirens in Fanzui City had practically become the essential background music of the night—so much so that without it, people might start to wonder if they’d slipped into another world. Late at night, when most residents were already asleep, an explosion occurred on the third floor of a downtown department store. The true cause: a seven-year-old boy lost and overwhelmed by emotion, triggering an out-of-control ability. Fortunately, the blast…

Chapter 18: Picked Up A Person, Family As soon as school ended at noon, Lu Mingxue dashed out like a madwoman. Mi Xiaoliu didn’t chase her. Instead, she walked to the balcony, quietly gnawing on a bun with cucumber, while staring at Yiwen’s lunchbox. Yiwen got chills from her gaze but pretended not to notice. Even by the end of the school day, Lu Mingxue had not returned. As before, Mi Xiaoliu went to the tennis courts and silently sat on the steps, watching her deskmate—the school’s…

Chapter 17: Lu Mingxue My name is Lu Mingxue. I'm sixteen years old, and my ability is mind reading. I’m a Level 3 esper, danger rating E. This is not the kind of ability others should envy. First of all, most mind readers can’t control what they hear. That’s because when a person is thinking about one thing, their subconscious is often thinking about something else at the same time—whether they realize it or not. That’s what we call a lack of focus. Take writing homework while listening to…

Chapter 15: Hayato Is A Bad Guy “If you type any string starting with ‘www’ followed by random numbers into the browser, it’ll automatically redirect you to this site. Don’t ask how I found out,” Hayato gestured for Mi Xiaoliu to check her phone. Mi Xiaoliu didn’t understand, so she stayed quiet, chewing her food and calmly watching him. : Don’t smack your lips while eating. “Alright then. I thought girls these days knew a lot more. Give me your phone.” Weren’t girls supposed to…

Chapter 16: Showing Her Face After feeding the cat, her total assets were so low that even surviving through April was starting to look difficult. The cat had pooped on the balcony. Sasha mentioned that other cat owners bought cat litter to make cleanup easier. Mi Xiaoliu, who had no idea what cat litter was, went downstairs to the children's playground and scooped up some sand instead. The cat still used it just fine. No one dared to say anything—people would grab their children and flee in fear…
