Chapter Seventy-Three: Separation

  Silver candle autumn light cold painting screen, thin silk small fan pats fireflies.

  The heavenly steps are cool as water at night, lying down to watch the Cowherd and Weaving Maiden stars.

  It was late at night, and Lin Xiao and four others lay on their backs in the grass, gazing up at the starry sky.

  In modern cities, it's rare to see such a beautiful starry sky. Lin Xiao couldn't remember the last time he had sat quietly and gazed up at the stars. Looking at the vast expanse of twinkling lights, he felt so calm and serene that he couldn't help but close his eyes and drift off to sleep.

  "Is this normal?" Matt suddenly spoke up and asked.

  The three of them turned their heads to look at him. He closed his eyes slightly and whispered, "Have you guys ever thought that we're not normal people anymore?"

  "Matt, are you going deep again?" Andrew said with a smile.

  Matt turned his head and glared at him, then said, "I just spoke out of emotion. You guys also know that normal people can't be like us."

  "Matt, you're thinking too much." Lin Xiao glanced at him lightly, "Everyone's experiences are different, and that will lead to all sorts of differences in each individual. We're just a group of people with special abilities, after all. At our core, we're still human."

  "Hey! Guys, shall we go back there and take a look?" Steve suddenly sat up straight and said.

  "This proposal is good." Matt nodded and sat up in agreement.

  "I have no objection, and who knows, I might even find my old camera." Andrew also nodded in agreement, not opposing the idea of going back.

  Seeing all three of them agree, Lin Xiao could only smile and nod his head.

  "Alright, then tomorrow it is, and the day after tomorrow you'll be back in school."

  "Alright, then tomorrow."

  The four of them lay down again on the grass, gazing up at the starry night sky.

  The night has grown deeper.

  ……

  The next day, Lin Xiao and his friends took Matt's car to Blacktown Hills.

  All four of them discussed what had happened to them along the way, with Matt claiming that it was all a government conspiracy, which left Steve somewhat dissatisfied.

  After much difficulty, they finally reached the place and found the cave, but Matt and his companions were disappointed to find that the cave had been buried in mud for a long time. The surrounding ground was as if it had experienced an earthquake, with many cracks and fissures.

  Of course, Matt and the others didn't know that these weren't caused by earthquakes, but were actually caused by Lin Xiao.

  Looking at the depression on the ground and the terrible environment around it, Andrew couldn't help but feel a chill.

  "I really can't believe we made it out alive."

  Matt and his friends didn't seem to have this feeling, at least on the surface.

  Steve looked at the dent and shrugged his shoulders, saying: "So, I mean, that's it, right?"

  "What's going on?" Andrew shook his head, "We still don't know what happened."

  Steve shrugged helplessly, indicating he was also powerless.

  Matt was just about to say something when a strange voice suddenly came from the mountain slope on the other side.

  "Hey! You can't stay there, understand?" A local policeman standing on the hillside shouted at them, "You must leave!"

  "What?"

  "The foundation is unstable, we need to seal off the entire vacant lot!" The black policeman shouted.

  More police arrived, Lin Xiao and the other three exchanged a glance, nodded at those police officers, and turned to leave.

  Before leaving, Andrew jokingly shouted "Vote for Steve". Compared to the first time Lin Xiao saw him, he now appears much more cheerful.

  "Alright, I think we should head back." Lin Xiao shrugged and said with a smile.

  "Yeah, this place has been locked down." Steve nodded. "I think that thing will be taken away."

  Lin Xiao smiled and didn't say a word, because he knew that thing had long since disappeared, after being absorbed by the system and its internal power was exhausted, it had already turned into a pile of dust.

  "Let's go back, I'm afraid those police will give us trouble." Andrew said uneasily.

  ……

  In the evening, Lin Xiao returned to his rented house.

  He threw the key onto the coffee table and plopped himself down on the sofa.

  "What's next, I basically don't have to participate anymore, so it's time to leave this city and go out for a walk." Lin Xiao sat on the sofa, quietly thinking about his future plans.

  In this world, he can stay for three years, unless necessary, he will not leave ahead of time. In the next two years or more, he will definitely not be content with staying in this small town in England. There are still many things that may contain boundaries waiting for him to explore all over the world. Although the harvest this time is already quite considerable, Lin Xiao is not satisfied with it.

  "So tomorrow I'll say goodbye to Andrew and the others, and then I won't have to participate in their pranks anymore." Lin Xiao thought of the scenes in the movie where Andrew and the other two were playing pranks in the supermarket and restaurant, and couldn't help but laugh and shake his head.

  The next day, Lin Xiao called Andrew and the others to tell them that they would be leaving, making up an excuse on the spot. After a phone call, Lin Xiao was ready to leave the city.

  Now that he has the ability to fly with his mind, Lin Xiao doesn't even bother taking planes anymore. Using his mind to fly is not only simple and convenient, but it also allows him to exercise his mind during the process. Why wouldn't he do it?

  This afternoon, Lin Xiao visited all the gold shops and jewelry stores in the city, as well as a small museum, spending more than half a day collecting over 300 points of level 1 Small Thousand Boundary Power. The harvest was much better compared to last time.

  Especially in the museum, Lin Xiao Lian did not find a single cultural relic with boundary power. I don't know if it's because these cultural relics do not contain boundary power or because they are all fake goods.

  In the afternoon, Lin Xiao left the city and headed to another nearby city to collect boundary power. Meanwhile, Andrew and others started their mischievous behavior.

  It's worth mentioning that Lin Xiao, before leaving, left Andrew a sum of money, not much, just ￡1 million, but enough for Andrew to use and no longer need to resort to those pathetic robberies. To be honest, as a seasoned veteran who had robbed the Federal Reserve, Lin Xiao really looked down on Andrew's methods, wearing his dad's firefighter uniform to rob a bank was simply too embarrassing, having such abilities yet ending up in that situation was just too immature.

  Lin Xiao believed that when Andrew returned home and saw the money as well as the letter he left behind, he would definitely be very grateful to himself.

  Of course, Lin Xiao didn't expect Andrew to be grateful or repay him in the future. He just did what he could do, and ￡100,000 was nothing to him.
