NOVPUBChapter 378 -213: Defying the Higher Ups, the Potential to Become a Divine Communicator
From within the carriage, pale light shone out, brushing against the dark and silent entrance of the hallway, like a ray of sunlight piercing the depths of the ocean.
Ke Xiaomo stood with his back to the carriage鈥檚 light, silently gazing ahead. His face was obscured by shadows.
In the hollow entrance of the hallway, Ke Mingye leaned against the wall, his profile facing Xiaomo, his gaze remarkably calm.
Ke Xiaomo stood by the elevator, silent.
As the elevator doors shut and ascended, the cold light spilling from the carriage was withdrawn, and the entire corridor was suddenly enveloped in the dim yellow light from the light bulbs.
The scene that met his eyes inexplicably reminded Ke Xiaomo of several years ago鈥 Back then, Ke Yinzhi had also been standing at the front door waiting for him, even the looks in their eyes were exactly the same, eerily similar to the point it sent shivers down his spine, as if sitting on pins and needles, his soul pierced through鈥
...
Ke Xiaomo came out of his reverie, his eyes lowered, and he asked slowly, 鈥淏ack in that building in the abandoned district, why weren鈥檛 you surprised when you saw me?鈥
With that, he thought, at this point, there鈥檚 nothing much left for me to hide, might as well clear things up with Mingye. After a slight pause, he asked, 鈥淎fter all鈥 shouldn鈥檛 I appear to you as just an ordinary person?鈥
At his words, Ke Mingye shifted his gaze away from Xiaomo鈥檚 face and looked out the window, saying, 鈥淚 knew you were a Ninja.鈥
鈥淪ince when?鈥
Just as Ke Xiaomo finished speaking, another possibility occurred to him, so he asked, 鈥淥r did that strange thing tell you?鈥
鈥淣o, the strange thing didn鈥檛 tell me,鈥 Ke Mingye shook his head, 鈥淒o you remember half a month ago, at Wanxiang City?鈥
Ke Xiaomo was slightly startled, then nodded.
潙滒潣凁潟橉潟?co
鈥淚 said I was hiding in the bathroom at Wanxiang City,鈥 Ke Mingye said, 鈥淚 climbed up to the window and looked outside, just in time to see you fighting with an old man. You both used the same moves, and from the way you spoke, you didn鈥檛 seem like strangers. So I naturally guessed you were a Ninja, I mean鈥 it would have been strange not to figure it out at that point.鈥
Hearing this, Ke Xiaomo took a deep breath.
鈥淪o that鈥檚 how it was,鈥 he muttered.
鈥淪o鈥 when you were preaching to me at the train station back then, I felt you were the least qualified to stop me because you, brother, were also keeping secrets from our family, engaging in dangerous activities?鈥
Ke Xiaomo said, 鈥淵ou鈥檙e right, I really had no right to say that to you.鈥
Ke Mingye raised a hand to rub his nose, shrugged irritably, 鈥淏ut this time it鈥檚 good that you were there, otherwise just counting on those elementary kids, they probably wouldn鈥檛 have stood a chance against those Blood Clan Hunters.鈥
鈥淚鈥檝e been thinking鈥 maybe I did wrong. If you hadn鈥檛 become a superpower user, if you hadn鈥檛 awakened your powers, perhaps the outcome of this wouldn鈥檛 have been so鈥 reassuring.鈥
Speaking, Ke Xiaomo paused, 鈥淏ut indeed, you have great potential; many superpower users I鈥檝e come across didn鈥檛 show as prominent abilities as you did when they first awakened. So it鈥檚 natural for you to want to be a superhero because you qualify for it, your talent even more than suffices.鈥
鈥淎ren鈥檛 you exaggerating? My role was just to deliver the final blow.鈥
鈥淣o, if you hadn鈥檛 been there, those Blood Clan Hunters would have taken Xiao Ling鈥檚 heart right at the start鈥︹€
As Ke Xiaomo spoke, he didn鈥檛 continue any further, but rather sighed softly, closed his eyes, and calmed the emotions swirling in his heart.
He didn鈥檛 have the courage to picture that scene nor dared to imagine how guilt-ridden and powerless he would feel if both Ke Mingye and Bai Ziling had died at the hands of the Blood Clan Hunters and how he would face Ke Yinzhi.
Ke Mingye also remained silent, just quietly gazing at the twilight through the window.
鈥淎t least she鈥檚 alright now.鈥
鈥淵es.鈥
As he spoke, Ke Xiaomo moved to stand next to Ke Mingye, his back against the wall, his eyes glancing towards the neon-illuminated high rises in the distance.
鈥淚鈥檝e made up my mind鈥 I鈥檒l support you,鈥 he said, 鈥淎s your brother, I鈥檝e advised you all I could. Since you鈥檙e determined to forge ahead, all I can do is support you.鈥
鈥淭hanks, you鈥檙e the first in the family to know about my identity,鈥 Ke Mingye shrugged, 鈥淓ven though you initially opposed me, you still kept it a secret from Dad and Mom, and I鈥檓 really touched by that.鈥
Ke Xiaomo chuckled softly: 鈥淚t鈥檚 just that I鈥檝e been through such things too鈥︹€ he paused, not bringing up Ke Yinzhi, 鈥渟o I understand what you鈥檙e thinking.鈥
鈥淲on鈥檛 you ask me about the Magic Girl?鈥
鈥淪he鈥檚 Xiao Ni, right?鈥
鈥淵eah.鈥
鈥淭hat鈥檚 good. Later on, she can be with you. After all, Magic Girl鈥檚 and superhero鈥檚 duties aren鈥檛 that different; you can support each other at work.鈥
鈥淪he鈥檒l no longer be a Magic Girl after this year, then you can rest assured too, brother.鈥
鈥淎ctually, I鈥檓 more worried about you鈥︹€
鈥淭he Timekeeper?鈥
鈥淚f you鈥檙e determined to entangle with Qing Ya, then the Timekeeper is a problem you鈥檒l inevitably have to face.鈥
鈥淚 actually have confidence.鈥
Hearing this, Ke Xiaomo fell silent for a while, often unable to resist saying more about this topic, but at this moment, he chose to take a deep breath, suppressing the words he wanted to say.
鈥淎t this point, there鈥檚 nothing more I can say,鈥 he stated, 鈥淎nd then鈥 tomorrow morning, I will temporarily leave this city by train.鈥
