"Something to do with me?" Shallow Shallow asked in surprise, "What do you mean by something to do with me? Ah Jun, do you know something? Hurry up and tell me! "
I raised both of my hands helplessly, "I'm sorry, it's not that I want to hide it from you, but it's better if you don't participate in some things … Even though it looks like you've been dragged into it …"
"Don't make things difficult for her, let me explain." Lin Xue leaned back into her seat comfortably, "Xu Shallow Shallow, your father is an archaeologist, right?"
"Yes … How did you know?"
"That's not important, the important thing is …" Lin Xue said as she took out a piece of paper from a black leather bag beside her and read, "Xu Feng, male, 45 years old, famous archaeologist in China, has many … Erm, this part is omitted, the last part is … On the 1st of December 2010, he went with the national geological team to the Taklamakan Desert to investigate a recently discovered ruin near the Niya ruins. Three days later … he went missing."
"What?!" Shallow Shallow and I exclaimed in unison.
"My father went missing?" Shallow Shallow's face was full of disbelief, "How could that be? He just talked to his family on the phone the day before yesterday! Are you trying to scare me? "
Even though Shallow Shallow did not believe the news at all, I knew that it was most likely true. With Lin Xue's identity, there was no reason for her to lie to us. What I was thinking now was, why would Uncle Xu go missing, and why would Lin Xue's superpower organization be alerted by his disappearance?
"I have no reason to lie to you. Besides, you said that your father talked to your family on the phone the day before yesterday, what about yesterday?"
Yesterday, according to Lin Xue, was the day Uncle Xu went missing.
"How is that possible …" Shallow Shallow mumbled absentmindedly, the growing unease in her heart made her realize that Lin Xue's words were most likely true.
"Ah Jun, Lin Xue is lying to me, right? You are more familiar with her, you must know if she is telling the truth or not … "
"I'm sorry … Shallow Shallow, don't worry, I'll definitely find a way to get Uncle Xu back!"
Shallow Shallow was stunned when she heard my answer. Then, she threw herself into my arms and started sobbing. As the daughter of an archaeologist, Shallow Shallow knew better than anyone that her father going missing in the desert was no different from being sentenced to death.
At this moment, I realized that the girl in my arms who had always been careless had a weak side.
Actually, I wasn't too worried about Uncle Xu's disappearance. It wasn't that I didn't care about Uncle Xu's safety, it was because I had enough confidence in the technology of the Xiling Empire.
When Lin Xue announced that Uncle Xu had gone missing, I had ordered the commanders of the Empire to send hundreds of small satellites that were equipped with omnidirectional invisibility force fields into space. These satellites could even accurately observe how many sets of pancakes were sold at the pancake stall in front of the school entrance, how much money was collected, how much was 1 yuan, and how much was 50 cents. At the same time, they also had a certain degree of X-ray vision and energy analysis function. In addition to that, there was a search and rescue team formed by commanders who were in charge of searching for Uncle Xu in the Taklamakan Desert. I believed that as long as Uncle Xu was still on Earth, I would be able to rescue him!
At this moment, Lin Xue's voice sounded, "I say, you two, even if you want to be intimate, you don't need to be in such a hurry, right? Also, Chen Jun, are you still not going to tell Xu Shallow Shallow your identity? "
"Ah Jun's identity?" Hearing Lin Xue's voice, Shallow Shallow raised her head from my arms. Her eyes were still red.
"It's like this …"
* * *
After hearing what I said, Shallow Shallow looked like she couldn't accept it at all and said, "You said, you are an esper?"
I nodded, then pointed at Pandora who had been silent the whole time and said, "And Lily, she's also an esper."
"It can't be … Aren't superpowers only found in novels?" Qian Qian said in disbelief.
I nudged Pandora's arm, indicating for her to confirm it. In the next second, Shallow Shallow exclaimed in surprise, "Lily, it was you just now …"
Lin Xue could guess what had happened from Shallow Shallow's reaction. She smiled at Pandora who didn't say a word and said, "That was Lily's superpower, telepathy. Even I am a little jealous."
Jealous just like that? If you knew that all 300 of my subordinates had such superpowers, how jealous would you be?
"Then, Ah Jun, what is your superpower? You also have a superpower, right? " The voice that had suddenly sounded in her head had made Shallow Shallow completely believe in the existence of espers. Now, she was rather curious about what my superpower was.
"It should be an offensive one," I replied vaguely. I replied vaguely. Summoning the empire's army to conquer a certain world should be an offensive ability, right?
"A rather powerful offensive ability …" Lin Xue said with lingering fear. It seemed like the satellite cannon had left quite a psychological scar on her.
"That's amazing …" This shocking news made Shallow Shallow put aside the uneasiness of Uncle Xu's disappearance. Her eyes flashed with an indescribable radiance as she grabbed my arm and said, "I didn't expect you to be so powerful! Why didn't you tell me that you have a superpower before? Have you been hiding it from me since young? "
Thinking about how she had been kept in the dark since young, Shallow Shallow's voice couldn't help but carry a disappointed tone.
"How could that be!" I hurriedly comforted her. "My superpower only appeared not too long ago. It was after Lily and I met each other. Lily's superpower was also awakened at that time …"
Lin Xue also chimed in at the right time. "Yeah, this kind of situation is understandable. Under normal circumstances, a special connection between siblings would trigger the awakening of a superpower. However, this kind of situation usually happens between twins. A situation like Chen Jun and Lily can be said to be very rare."
Lin Xue, your words came at the right time!
After knowing our identities as superpowers, Shallow Shallow didn't seem to be that worried about Uncle Xu anymore. It seemed like in her mind, everything would be solved as long as we took action.
"Speaking of which, Lin Xue, where are you taking us? We are already out of the suburbs. " I looked out of the window and saw that the surroundings had turned into an unfamiliar wasteland. There was no sign of a city. I didn't expect that we had already come to a place so far away!
Lin Xue picked up her phone and skillfully dialed a few numbers. It seemed like she was sending a text message. Then she said, "Of course, we are going to change to a faster transportation. You can't be thinking that I am going to drive this broken car all the way to the Taklamakan Desert, right? Or are you going to buy a train ticket to Xinjiang now? "
"Ah? We are leaving now? "I was shocked by Lin Xue's swift and decisive action." I haven't told my sister yet. "
"Me too. I should also tell my mom. If I disappear for a few days, my mom will be worried to death! "
Lin Xue looked at the two of us and suddenly slapped her forehead. "Aiya, sorry! I forgot about that. I don't have a family since I was young. I was adopted by the organization. The people in our organization always leave as soon as there is a mission. They don't have the concept of saying goodbye to their family … Hehe … "
"Is that so … It's okay." Shallow Shallow didn't expect her to have such a background. She didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Don't listen to my sister's nonsense!" The young driver who had been driving without saying a word suddenly spoke. It sounded like he was Lin Xue's brother?
"This is my brother. His name is Lin Feng." Lin Xue smiled awkwardly. Then she lectured him bluntly, "It's none of your business. Just focus on driving!"
Lin Feng replied, "How could it have nothing to do with me? If I still don't speak, the author will forget about me … Cough, cough, I have to emphasize this. If I still don't speak, I reckon that even I will be thrown into the pile of dead relatives!"
Seeing that her prank was exposed by her brother, Lin Xue didn't seem embarrassed at all. She said while playing with her phone, "That's it. I was just joking with you. But you don't have to worry about your family worrying if you disappear for a few days. We have already arranged it. We will send a message through your school. We will say that you are going to participate in a teacher-student exchange. Then, we will ask one of our members who can change their appearance to go to your house and say hello. Everything will be settled … Ah, we are here."
It was really … an arbitrary arrangement!
