Chapter 173: Chapter 173: Spatial Folding

The office area fell silent.

Only Lawyer Lin’s voice reverberated through the office area, lingering, not fading away.

Su Xin disappeared in an instant teleportation.

Soon, he arrived at Xu Yongshou’s house, and found two knives placed in a delicately packaged box in a cabinet in the study.

Upon opening the packaging, Su Xin was immediately captivated by the stylishness of these two knives—they were knives Su Xin had meticulously selected online, perfectly aligning with his aesthetics.

From the handle, to the sheath, to the curve and length of the blade, every detail was custom-made according to Su Xin’s specifications.

As for the material of the knife, Su Xin wasn’t too knowledgeable, but he had asked Xu Yongshou to use the best materials for manufacturing them, and it seemed Xu Yongshou wouldn’t dare to deceive him on this aspect.

Although they might not be as good as the short knife given by Deng Zhongquan, they were specially customized according to his requirements, and their appearance pleased Su Xin more.

Style is more important than practicality.

Both knives had retractable straps for securing to the body; Su Xin strapped both knives to his back and used instant teleportation to leave the study.

With these minor tasks handled, Su Xin had little attachment left in Lening City.

To him, Lening City was no longer his home, and this vast White Mountain Star offered no sense of home anywhere.

Su Xin first hid the two custom-made swords in a previously discovered secret location, then opened his email to view the files sent by Xu Yongshou.

These files contained basic information on Lin Yufei, including family members, social connections, major experiences, evaluations by friends and relatives, etc.

However, as Xu Yongshou mentioned, he did not know Lin Yufei’s location, so the files did not provide any specifics about her current situation.

The files also included some videos, pictures, and text reports related to Lin Yufei and another superpower user.

Among them was the on-site video from when Skinny Ghost saved Lin Yufei.

Watching the changes in the young, slender man’s arm in the video, Su Xin was thoughtful:

“This superpower is… body transformation?”

“If the arms can change shape so dramatically, then the appearance can clearly change too.”

“No wonder the two of them managed to stay hidden for so long.”

“Though I don’t know what Lin Yufei’s superpower is, the shapeshifting superpower of this short man alone is quite valuable.”

Su Xin contemplated, pulled out his phone, and searched for Lin Yufei’s family address.

The intelligence mentioned that the mysterious force tried to catch Lin Yufei by capturing her parents, forcing her to show herself, which eventually led to a confrontation, resulting in the death of Lin Yufei’s parents; thus, no one was currently at Lin Yufei’s home.

However, Su Xin had the Other-Transformation superpower; he only needed to find Lin Yufei’s personal belongings to directly pinpoint her location, without the trouble of step-by-step investigation.

Soon, Su Xin found Lin Yufei’s home location, entered stealth state, and reached the house within two minutes.

Lin Yufei’s home was now a mess, like it had been raided by thieves several times, but there were still many worthless personal items in Lin Yufei’s bedroom.

Su Xin picked a small item casually.

While waiting for Other-Transformation to trigger, he glanced around Lin Yufei’s home and did not find any cameras or similar devices.

In his perception, more than an hour passed, Exercise Maniac superpower was about to trigger for the second time, then Other-Transformation successfully triggered.

“Lin Yufei, female, 16 years old…”

This information did not include an introduction to Lin Yufei’s superpower, only some basic identity information, and Lin Yufei’s location.

Su Xin activated Five Senses Sharing.

Instantly, his consciousness split into two, one remained in his body, and the other crossed space to appear elsewhere.

…

In another city hundreds of kilometers away.

Inside an inconspicuous residential building.

Lin Yufei sat at a desk, attentively reading the content on the computer screen, browsing one news article after another.

“Click!”

The door lock turned, first locking and then unlocking, the door slowly opened.

A balding middle-aged man pushed the door open, closed it behind him, and said while changing shoes:

“Jiang Xuan, I’m back.”

“Dad, I’m in the study.”

Lin Yufei responded from within the study.

After the two escaped Lening City, they squeezed through several places, lastly settling in this unfamiliar city, assuming the identities of a father and daughter, and residing in their family’s home.

According to their investigation, this household had not appeared for several years, having little interaction with neighbors, their social network was quite simple.

Thus, Skinny Ghost transformed into the man of the house using the alias Jiang Chengcai.

Lin Yufei assumed the identity of daughter Jiang Xuan, who happened to resemble her somewhat and was about the same age, so a slight makeover prevented anyone not familiar from telling the difference, especially with Skinny Ghost as the ’father’ there; none of the neighbors suspected her identity.

Of course, even so, the two of them kept a low profile, rarely interacting with others, and were very cautious in their daily actions and words. Even when they were alone at home, they addressed each other as father and daughter.

“Jiang Xuan, it’s time to eat.”

The Skinny Ghost, now going by the alias Jiang Chengcai, walked into the study, placed a takeout box next to Lin Yufei’s computer, and casually asked:

“Is there any special news?”

“Yes, a news alert popped up just now. Someone seems to have spotted Su Xin. It seems he returned to Lening City, killed someone, and disappeared.”

“Tsk tsk, his desire to kill is really strong!”

Jiang Chengcai shook his head and lamented, “Every time I see news about him, it’s always related to murder. But he’s probably the only one who dares to kill so openly, yet no one dares to touch him.”

“Unlike us, who can only hide everywhere, terrified that anyone might discover our superpowers.”

Just then—

Lin Yufei, who was about to reach for the takeout, caught sight of a third figure that had somehow appeared in the room, and was instantly startled.

“Who!”

Jiang Chengcai was also taken aback.

But when they got a clear look at the figure in the room, the alertness and hostility that had just appeared on their faces instantly dissipated, replaced by shock and confusion.

“Su Xin? How are you here?”

Lin Yufei asked with a face full of confusion.

“I heard that besides me, two other superpower users appeared in Lening City, so I came to see you.”

Seeing the two talking, Jiang Chengcai instinctively took two small steps to the side without making a sound.

Lin Yufei was still somewhat puzzled. She wasn’t very familiar with Su Xin, so did he just come looking for them because they were also superpower users?

There must be a reason.

Moreover, they had been hiding here cautiously, without exposing any clues. So how did Su Xin find them?

Lin Yufei voiced this question.

Su Xin replied perfunctorily, “It’s also one of my abilities, no need to be surprised.”

“In fact, I came to find you because both of you are superpower users like me. I don’t want to see you struggling to survive, so I’ve decided to lend you a hand.”

“Would you be willing to follow me?”

“Yes!”

“Yes!”

Without any hesitation, the two answered in unison.

Su Xin’s reputation now was immense, especially among the superpower community. He was practically a godlike figure, and countless superpower users worldwide were filled with admiration for him.

Not just them; even many superpower users in the Nirvana Association or other factions regarded Su Xin as their idol.

Moreover, the two had not been doing well lately. It was only a few days ago that they managed to settle here. They hadn’t even had two days of peace, their hearts still restless, longing for a better path.

And for superpower users without a faction, what better path is there than following Su Xin, the world’s acknowledged strongest superpower user?

Plus, Lin Yufei and Su Xin once had some connection. He seemed like the perfect person to rely on.

After agreeing, Lin Yufei immediately asked, “Su Xin, are you planning to form a superpower organization? What are the organization’s goals?”

Jiang Chengcai also looked wistfully at Su Xin.

However, Su Xin shook his head:

“The organization’s goals are currently undecided. I just want to gather some superpower users for now, to provide everyone with a better living environment.”

“Since you’ve agreed to follow me, let’s work together to prepare this organization. You two will be among the first founding members.”

Hearing this, Lin Yufei and Jiang Chengcai exchanged glances, both looking puzzled.

Su Xin looked at Jiang Chengcai and asked, “By the way, I still don’t know what to call you?”

“I used to be called Song Yan, but after I was captured by people from Kangbo Biological Company, I abandoned that identity. Now I’m called Jiang Chengcai. Mr. Su can just call me Chengcai.”

“Alright.”

Su Xin nodded, “Also, since you’ll be members of my organization in the future, tell me what your superpowers are. It’ll help me assign tasks later on.”

Lin Yufei and Jiang Chengcai had been collaborating to survive recently, and had become quite familiar with each other’s abilities. So, they didn’t mind revealing:

“My superpower, I call it Spatial Folding. For example, when I extend my hand, I can fold the space in front of me, allowing my hand to bypass a section of space, or you could understand it as skipping over part of the space to reach distant areas, like this…”

As she spoke, Lin Yufei stretched her hand forward. It seemed like a wall of emptiness that devoured everything stood before her. As her hand extended, her fingers, palm, and the entire hand vanished, as if sliced neatly at the wrist.

Over ten meters away, a small, pale hand emerged from the void, softly gripping the study’s doorknob, and gently twisting it.

The door opened in response.
