Chapter 1 Voices from Behind
The stars are shining, and the night breeze is blowing, and the tulle curtains dance lightly from time to time. Larry lowered his head and was looking up information, trying to choose a university that suits him.
"Huh~ finally got it done!" Slumped in the chair, Larry stretched greatly. At this moment, an old hoarse voice came suddenly!
"If you really choose these universities, your life will be regrettable." The old and hoarse voice echoed in the room, and Larry was clever and stood up abruptly! Because Larry himself had a perception ability far beyond ordinary people. Before this sound appeared, he did not notice anyone entering the room, indicating that this person's ability was far above himself. The most important thing was that there was no one else at home except parents and himself, and the owner of this voice was obviously not his parents!
While possessing the ability greater than ordinary people, Larry's mind was also very calm. Although he knew that the other party was much stronger than himself, Larry still turned around calmly. Why would he regret his choice? He felt curious and wanted to ask this stranger. "Because you are different from others." the man answered.
And Larry knew he was right.
. . . . . .
When he was 7 years old, Larry discovered that he was different from the children around him. He was never afraid of the cold, and he wanted to touch all the flames. He remembered once, when his parents were not at home, Larry secretly lit a flame with a lighter. The moment his finger touched the flame, it was not pain that he felt but the pleasure of every cell in the body, just like a long-term sore muscle suddenly released, comfortable, and full of power!
After the sense of pleasure, Larry's skin began to radiate light from the inside out, and the golden diamond-shaped lines gradually appeared on the skin, covering every inch of the skin. The dazzling golden light illuminates the whole room, and the flames filled the original brown pupils.
Everything was just fleeting, and the room returned to normal as if nothing had happened. For a 7-year-old boy, everything was too sudden. Larry spread his hands involuntarily, and two clusters of flames slowly rose up in his palms, like a transparent glass crystal.
But as soon as the flame touched the lighter in Larry's palm, it banged and the lighter burst open. The fragments cut Larry's palm and arm, and blood slowly poured out of the wound. But the amazing thing was that before the pain came, Larry saw that the wound began to heal slowly like knitting, and there was a slight tingling sensation. In less than 10 seconds, the wound had healed without leaving scars.
Looking at this wonderful scene, Larry did not feel scared but was very excited. For a child, what could attract him more than magic?
Since then, fire has always accompanied Larry to grow up. Larry is very smart, he knows all this is unusual, so no one except himself knows that he can control the fire, and he never shows his specialness in front of others.
As he grows older, Larry is more and more aware of the difference between himself and others. He is always alone in school, often secretly releasing flames and watching them quietly. After watching for a long time, Larry also began to think about a question, in this world, is he the only different one? The answer is definitely no. Later Larry began to quietly observe the people around him. Whether it was school or street, whether it was a subway or restaurant, Larry was always quietly observing the surrounding People.
During this long period of time, Larry has maintained such a state, but the difference that surpasses ordinary people has not appeared for a long time. On the contrary, his perception ability has become more and more acute. The phone in his pocket vibrated, and Larry could clearly notice it.
When Larry was in his first year of high school at a school meeting, teachers and students from two schools attended the meeting. Just as the meeting was about to begin, Larry suddenly felt that someone different was on his right, that was, teachers and students from another school. In the group, there were strange fluctuations, like a weak magnet pulling him, but this feeling only lasted for a moment.
Larry immediately turned his head and looked in the direction where the feeling came from. But there were too many people. Larry couldn't determine the source of that feeling at all. It's like an illusion, disappearing without a trace. Larry couldn't help but shake his head with a bitter smile. When he thought he was too sensitive and was about to turn his head, he saw a young man on the teacher's bench pushing his silver-framed glasses against him, looking away. Focusing on his squinted eyes, an elusive smile appeared on his face.
The moment the man smiled at Larry, Larry clearly felt his whole body tightening, murderous feeling! This is murderous!
After the meeting, Larry walked out of the meeting place silently and quickly. As soon as he left, he immediately rushed out of the school at his fastest speed. The murderousness just now was so obvious that Larry dispelled the idea of exploring this person. He didn't want to risk his life after all. After running out of two blocks in one breath, Larry stopped at an alley. He didn't care to rest, he immediately probed out to see if anyone was following.
Making sure no one was following, Larry was leaning against the wall, gasping for breath. At this time, there was a burst of unhurried footsteps from the other end of the alley.
