i can hear your voice

When the car drove near Changzhi Road, Shi Yu said: "Today is Friday, Shi Yan came home with me, Ruo Pu, how about you? Are you going back to school or home?"

Shi Yan didn't tell his brother that he was going home today, but he didn't object when his brother said so, after all, there was a cat-turning bomb buried in his body.

Ruo Pu glanced at Shi Yan and said, "Then I'll go home too."

The car stopped at the gate of Ruopu's community, Shi Yu said, "I'll pick you up at eight o'clock tomorrow morning to go to the institute for training, is that okay?"

Ruopu felt that doing this every week was too much trouble for others, so he said, "I'll go there by myself."

Shi Yu: "It's too troublesome for you to go there by yourself. There is no bus, and taxis can only drive to the gate. It takes half an hour to walk in by yourself. There is no need to waste time."

Ruopu: "...Okay, thank you Brother Shi."

It's past eight o'clock in the evening. The building where Ruo Pu's family lives is at the edge of the community by the road. After getting off the bus, Ruo Pu stood on the side of the road and looked up. There was no light in his house, probably because there was no one at home.

If he goes back now, he can heat a box of instant meals for himself. After eating, he has three choices: study, practice abilities or entertainment.

For studying, I didn’t bring the books back from school, but there is a question bank on the computer, so I can do the questions on the computer.

Ruopu has already finished all the courses in high school, and originally planned to take the college entrance examination early this year, but because of the awakening of supernatural powers, all plans were disrupted.

Learning is no longer the most important thing for him now.

The most important thing at this stage should be to train your abilities well. To put it more seriously, this is related to survival: the survival of others and your own survival.

The survival of others means not accidentally killing others.

In terms of his own survival, the disappearance of Lin Zirui and Song Mingqing, the abuse of abilities by Qin Xu, and the creation of "human cats" by Tai Chi are all lessons learned from the past.

Ruopu strongly hopes that he can protect himself and others, and hopes that he can help, not help.

But now his ability is too weak.When tracking Tai Chi today, he almost failed to hear where Tai Chi was, and when he heard it later, he only performed supernormally under heavy pressure, and his normal level has not yet reached that level.

His ability is still very unstable.When he stopped Tai Chi from hurting people, he used infrasonic to kill a large group of people, and then everyone blamed it... which is not helping.

Changzhi Road is very straight, the car has driven a long way, Shi Yan can still see Ruo Pu's figure, standing motionless by the side of the road, looking lonely and lonely.

Shi Yan: "Brother, put me on the side of the road, and I will go back later."

Changzhi Road is not a main road, and there are not many cars on the road. Parking on the side of the road for a while will not affect anything.

Shi Yu asked the driver to pull over and said, "I'll go back to the Ability Bureau later, you go home early, don't stay out too late."

"understood."

Ruopu scanned a shared bicycle, and he decided to go around by bicycle.

He wants to practice sound localization—he can hear various sounds in the distance, but he can’t grasp the details and distance. It should be helpful for him to listen closely and feel it.

Ruo Pu rode his bicycle through the streets and alleys, he gradually emptied his mind and plunged into the sea of ​​voices.

In the past, he stood on the coast and carefully looked into the sea. Today, he was stimulated and decided to let go and try to swim around in the sea.

Ruo Pu jumped into the water, the sea immediately found him, the voices turned into slender water lines, criss-crossing each other, quickly weaving a dense and flexible net, netting him, wrapping him tightly, and dragging him into the depths of the sea of ​​sounds .

Unknowingly, Ruo Pu fell into a state of spiritual suffocation.

"Are you watching the road?" A bicycle caught up, and the owner of the bicycle held the handle of the bicycle for Ruopu with one free hand.

It was Shi Yan who came, and he followed Ruo Pu for a long time, but Ruo Pu didn't know what was going on, obviously he had hearing abilities, but he didn't seem to notice that he was behind him.

Ruo Pu looked at Shi Yan blankly, as if he couldn't understand what he was saying.

Shi Yan frowned, applied the brakes of Ruopu's car, and stopped the bicycle.

"Let's take a rest by the side of the road."

Ruo Pu was dragged to the side of the road by Shi Yan in a daze, he felt Shi Yan's slightly cool hand on his forehead, and then Shi Yan's voice came from a distant place: "Are you feeling unwell?"

Ruo Pu held Shi Yan's wrist, he felt and heard Shi Yan's pulse, the blood was rushing through the blood vessels, and the heart beat steadily at the source of the blood vessels, boom, boom, boom... like the sound of a drum guiding the direction .

In the depths of the sea of ​​sound, Ruo Pu's consciousness came to him. He struggled in the net, concentrated all his energy, and pulled out the first thread from the net—this was the whistling sound of the subway underground. It's the price reduction broadcast from the hypermarket in front, and then the third and fourth...

Ruo Pu's consciousness accurately identified those voices, and after throwing them away from his mind, his speed became faster and faster, his demeanor became more and more relaxed, the fine net became more and more sparse, and finally, everything disappeared.

The unbound consciousness turned around happily, then struggled to swim upstream, towards the direction where the drum sound came from.

Finally, it jumped out of the water.

Ruo Pu took Shi Yan's hand from his forehead, held it in both hands, and smiled at Shi Yan who was looking at him worriedly: "Thank you, I'm fine."

Shi Yan looked at him carefully and made sure he was back to normal, so she also smiled.

The two stood on the side of the road and looked at each other. There was someone on the side of the road looking at them curiously.

"..." Shi Yan felt a little uncomfortable, "Let's move the bike, it's blocking someone's way."

Ruopu hasn't reacted yet: "Okay."

"You..." Shi Yan moved his hand held by Ruo Pu.

oh!Ruo Pu hurriedly let go.

Moved the bicycle to the sidewalk and put it under the tree, and the two sat down on the curb, sitting a little close, and quietly moved a little to the side.

Shi Yan looked at the road ahead and said, "Shall I shield you?"

"No, I'm really fine." Ruo Pu looked at Shi Yan's side face and said with a smile, "I just had an epiphany."

"What did you realize?"

Ruopu thought for a while, and said: "Each sound is unique. If you grasp their characteristics, you can lock it accurately and quickly. ——Before I thought I had no sense of distance, but in fact, I couldn't accurately lock each sound. a voice."

Shi Yan: "The characteristics of the sound—you mean the timbre?"

Ruopu smiled and said, "That's right. In short, my ability is more stable and easy to handle now. If there is another Tai Chi, I will definitely be able to 'catch' it quickly this time."

Shi Yan looked at him: "Those supernatural events are the work of my brother and the others, so don't worry too much."

He felt that Ruo Pu put too much pressure on himself, more pressure than him who was about to turn into a cat.

Ruopu: "I didn't worry about it, I just wanted to practice my abilities. There is still a lot of difference between training and actual operation."

"Yeah." Shi Yan didn't say anything, just stood up, "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?"

Ruo Pu jumped up: "Let's go!"

The two rode back to Changzhi Road, because Ruo Pu said that there are many cheap and affordable small restaurants on this road.

Everything was still noisy, but now Ropu could ignore them, no longer had to take great effort to ignore them as before, but could easily ignore them, as if they were just passing wind.

However, there is one sound that he can't ignore right now——Shi Yan's heartbeat, when Ruo Pu rushed out of the sea of ​​sounds just now, he took Shi Yan's heartbeat as an anchor, engraved it in his consciousness, It is extremely deep, and now he can't undo it for the time being, but it should fade after a long time.

But don't say, with this imprint, Ruopu feels very safe, and he is a bit reluctant to let it disappear.

Ruo Pu bumped Shi Yan's arm lightly: "Thank you just now."

"You're welcome, if I don't hold you back, you'll hit a tree at most."

"How could such a precious head of mine hit a tree? If you round it up, you saved my life. Thank you for saving my life... How about this, I will treat you to Mala Tang!"

"Your precious head is worth a bowl of Malatang?"

"Then I'll treat you to the super deluxe version!"

"...Isn't it Malatang?"

Coming out of the Malatang shop, Ruopu rubbed his belly unconsciously, he was so full!

Shi Yan also wanted to touch his belly a little bit, but he had the burden of a beautiful boy, so he held back.

"Where is your home on Changning Road?" Ruopu asked.

"Emerald Garden."

"Oh, I know there."

Although Changning Road is adjacent to Changzhi Road, there is a huge difference between the neighborhoods where the Emerald Garden and Ruopu's house are located. The Emerald Garden is built by the river and is a high-end villa area, while the Ruopu's is an old neighborhood that has been around for a while. It was his father who was lucky enough to meet the owner of the house who was eager to sell it for a cheap price before buying it.

Ruopu pointed to a small path diagonally across the road and said, "Go this way and cross it. Have you walked by?"

Shi Yan shook his head.

Ruo Pu said, "Let's go, I'll take you there."

"No, I can walk this little way by myself, see you tomorrow." Shi Yan waved to Ruopu, and strode across the road.

Ruo Pu heard his heartbeat getting farther and farther away from him, but still clear. This feeling is very strange, as if a communication line is connected between his ears and Shi Yan's heart, and it is also like his own We have a safe bay with the sound of regular waves that you can relax in peace of mind.

While feeling at ease, Ruo Pu felt a little uneasy, whether it was Shi Yan's supernatural ability or his heartbeat, they all affected him too much.

When he got home, he smelled his clothes, which smelled of spicy hot pot and sweat. He went into the bathroom and turned on the water to take a bath.

He went to take a shower first, and removed the artificial skin coating on his left hand. He was surprised to find that the transparent line had dropped again, this time down to the middle of the forearm.

At this speed, he should be able to return to the appearance of an ordinary person very quickly, without needing to spray artificial skin paint.

Shi Yan was in a better mood and hummed a song.

After taking a shower, the bathtub was almost full. Shi Yan turned off the shower and lay down in the bathtub. He swiped his left hand in the water to observe how it looked in the water. When he was still, there seemed to be nothing in the water. But if you move, there will be resistance between the hand and the water, and water ripples will appear, and you can vaguely see the outline of the hand.

The water temperature is suitable, Shi Yan is a little tired and weak after a busy day today - caused by Ruopu's infrasonic attack, his slender and thick eyelashes drooped unknowingly.

The water in the bathtub was steaming slowly, the transparent line on Shi Yan's left arm gradually descended, and his left hand slowly appeared in the water.

When his left hand fully appeared, his limbs suddenly began to twist, and long hairs began to grow on his skin. In just an instant, he completely changed his shape——

The human body in the bathtub disappeared, and a feline was lying on its back in the water. It was larger than ordinary cats, with a body length of about [-] centimeters and a tail of more than [-] centimeters.

Its head floats on the surface of the water, and its body is suspended in the water. The hair on its body is long and thick. There is a long-haired white scarf, and the belly is the same as the neck, which is also white long-haired. Apart from that, the rest is black.

"Ring, ring, ring", Shi Yan's cell phone rang, and the ringing echoed in the bathroom.

The big cat in the bathtub opened its eyes a little sleepily, huh?What seems wrong?

It... didn't see its original human body, but a piece of fur suspended in the water.

Its eyes widened suddenly!

"Meow!" the big cat let out a panicked cry.
