But even he himself felt that this excuse was untenable!
He looked at Ya Ya with difficulty, and with even more difficulty, he managed to say one sentence:
"You, what exactly are you, are you a human or a ghost?"
But soon, his eyes will widen even more!
Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the lights in every household on the building across the street had suddenly gone out into complete darkness!
Not only the building across the street, but the entire neighborhood was plunged into darkness in an instant!
The entire neighborhood was dark, except for the light on in Chen Xiao's apartment.
Standing beside the microwave, Ya Ya's entire body was flashing with a blue, electric-like light! Like... a firefly! And it was getting brighter and brighter!! The electric current seemed to be concentrated within her body, the blue light flickering...
This scene was more bizarre than anything Chen Xiao had ever seen in his life.
In such a situation, the atmosphere should have been very strange, but suddenly, they heard their downstairs neighbor stick their head out of the window and shout angrily in a voice as loud as a broken gong.
"What's going on?! Why wasn't there any advance notice of a power outage?! What is the property management company doing?! Don't they have any sense of public responsibility?!"
Chapter Four of the Main Text: [Discharge?]
For the first time in his life, Chen Xiao began to hate himself for having such a strong mental fortitude.
Because right now, looking at Ya Ya surrounded by blue electric light—he really wished he could just faint!
"I'm really starting to wonder if there are ghosts in this world. I used to be an atheist." Chen Xiao took two steps back, sat heavily in the chair, and stared blankly at Ya Ya.
But then he suddenly jumped up, ran a few steps to the light switch, and turned off the light.
Otherwise, if the whole neighborhood is dark, and someone sees that your own home has its lights on, wouldn't that be strange?
"Did I...do something wrong?" Ya Ya turned around. Although the lights in the room were off, her whole body was still enveloped in a blue, electric-like light.
Chen Xiao opened his mouth: "It's not that you did something wrong..."
He took a deep breath, clutching his head, "Wait a minute, my mind is a mess, I feel a little dizzy..."
Ya Ya quietly looked at Chen Xiao for a while, then silently walked to Chen Xiao's side. In the blue light, her face showed a faint concern: "Is there something wrong with you?"
Malfunction...
Chen Xiao looked up at Ya Ya and thought for a moment: "Are you... an alien?"
What are aliens?
"Stop!" Chen Xiao felt completely defeated.
While he was lost in thought, Ya Ya's hand had already landed on Chen Xiao's arm. He was startled at first, but then realized that he hadn't felt any electric shock. He breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Ya Ya curiously: "Just now..."
He pointed to the kitchen, then to the overhead light, and then to the glowing child, swallowing hard: "How did you do that?"
“They said I can control energy,” Ya Ya said, looking at Chen Xiao.
"Who are they?" Chen Xiao felt that he had grasped some of the tricks to talking to Ya Ya.
“They…” Ya Ya suddenly trembled, and a slight fear appeared in her blue eyes: “I don’t like them.”
Chen Xiao's heart skipped a beat. She jumped up from her chair, rushed to her bedroom, pulled out a photo of her parents from a drawer, and ran back to Ya Ya, her voice trembling with excitement: "Look at these two people, do you recognize them?"
Ya Ya glanced at it curiously, then thought carefully for a moment: "I don't recognize it."
Don't you recognize me?
You are my parents' "most precious legacy"!! They sent you here, how could you not recognize them?!
"Are you... sure?" Chen Xiao asked, somewhat doubtful.
Ya Ya's tone was very certain. Although her voice was still soft and gentle, her tone was very firm: "I won't be wrong. I have a very good memory. I won't forget anything I've seen."
Photographic memory?
Aside from online novels, Chen Xiao had never heard of such an ability in reality.
However... this girl can even generate electricity (damn, she really can "electrocute" people!), so it's not surprising that she has a photographic memory.
Chen Xiao thought for a moment: "Then do you remember how you were put into this cabinet... uh, the biological chamber?" He pointed to the "freezer" in the living room.
"I don't know." Ya Ya tilted her head, looking somewhat bewildered. "I was in hibernation in my own bio-pod, and when I woke up, I was here."
Hibernation... well, she probably meant sleeping.
"You must know something, right?" Chen Xiao scratched his head in frustration.
Just then, I accidentally heard a gurgling sound from Ya Ya's stomach.
"Ah! Eat something first! Maybe you'll remember something after you're full." Chen Xiao quickly opened the microwave and took out the instant noodles—but a new problem arose: this girl didn't seem to know how to use chopsticks.
Okay, judging from the color of her hair and eyes, she's probably not Asian, so it's not surprising that she can't use chopsticks—but it seems she can't even use a knife and fork.
"Go ahead and eat," Chen Xiao said kindly, pulling a fork out of the cupboard.
"What do you mean by 'eat'?" Ya Ya still looked at Chen Xiao with that innocent gaze.
"Eat...you haven't never eaten before, have you?" Chen Xiao gritted his teeth and demonstrated: "Eat, put food in your mouth, chew, swallow, and replenish your body's...uh, energy! Yes! Replenish the energy your body needs!"
"I've never added anything like this before." Ya Ya stared blankly at the steaming instant noodles and fork in front of her, clearly at a loss for what to do.
