What To Do If The Heroine Escapes From The Book

Chapter 39: Exploring Abilities

The method Qiu Wuji used to leave with Chu Ge and Moon Shadow was definitely not taking the elevator.

Everyone knows that using the elevator to escape is purely a joke. Going in was just to mislead others’ thinking. While everyone was thinking about the elevator, they were not there at all.

The method she used was quite advanced and not something ordinary people could think of, let alone prevent.

It’s called teleportation, or transmission, and it’s a way for a soul that can travel across realms, a luxurious ability.

However, teleporting with two people was also a strain on her current state, and she could only barely make it outside the Miracle Nightclub before stopping in the adjacent alley.

So she needed to mislead them and didn’t want the other party to quickly discover their location. Qiu Wuji wasn’t afraid of conflict, but Chu Ge might not be able to handle it.

But it seemed like those people were quite cautious as they did not even come out to search.

Seeing Qiu Wuji standing still with a slightly wobbly posture, Chu Ge hurriedly supported her and asked, “Are you okay?”

Qiu Wuji looked at the arm he was holding silently and said, “I’m fine. It’s just that this bit of distance was the limit, and it was a little hard to bring two people. You go to the corner and stop a car. I’ll help this young lady and follow you.”

Seeing Qiu Wuji breathe a sigh of relief as if she really was fine, Chu Ge didn’t say much and quickly ran out to stop a car.

Moon Shadow leaned on Qiu Wuji’s other shoulder, quietly watching the two of them communicate. They were talking to each other the whole time and didn’t even glance at her.

Before, Chu Ge used to secretly look at her, and she knew what was hidden in a man’s gaze. But now he seemed different, like another person…changed.

She silently walked with their support towards the alley, and only after a long time did she whisper, “Thank you.”

Qiu Wuji glanced at her and asked, “Are you always this quiet?”

Moon Shadow froze and didn’t answer.

“No wonder such a powerful ability user can end up like this, apparently being deceived.” The experienced Qiu Wuji could guess how many twists and turns were involved. She wanted to make a few comments but didn’t say anything, realizing that she herself had also been duped by Chu Ge. What use was an experienced person when faced with a completely new world…

Speaking is already good enough, she is not used to talking to people.

When this girl first awakened her powers, it was as if she had entered a new world, but it didn’t seem to make much of a difference.

Unfortunately, she didn’t meet someone like Chu Ge, who wanted to treat her with kindness, although the ultimate meaning of this kindness was debatable.

Qiu Wuji sighed, “Take off the mask, are you going to get in the taxi like that?”

Moon Shadow looked up and saw that Chu Ge had already found a car and was trying to come back to help, but seemed hesitant.

She whispered back, “There’s blood under the mask, I can’t show myself to anyone.”

“What’s the problem about that?” Qiu Wuji waved her hand and the mask fell off, and at the same time, the horrific blood stains on Moon Shadow’s face disappeared, as if she had just washed her face. Even the blood stains on her clothes were gone, leaving only a pale complexion and lips without any trace of blood, proving the seriousness of her injuries just now.

Moon Shadow was somewhat shocked.

She thought this woman was a terrifying space ability user. The fact that the Wallwalker was found lying soundlessly on the ground that day and today’s teleportation proved this.

But what was this instant cleaning? Water control ability?

Was she a multiple-ability user?

Why hadn’t she heard of this phenomenon before? Wasn’t it said that it was impossible and that it was at most limited to evolution within the same category?

What was going on?

Moon Shadow got into the car in a daze, listening to Chu Ge reporting the name of his residential area to the driver in the passenger seat. It all felt like a dream, surreal and unreal.

Suddenly, a police siren sounded in the distance.

Chu Ge turned his head abruptly and saw the police car entering the street of the Miracle Nightclub from afar.

Did the police discover something was wrong here?

The taxi turned a corner, and the wind and rain over there were no longer visible.

It would be best if the police intervened. Such a place that caused harm to others should not exist.

….

“If my analysis is correct, the man who can pass through walls did not have time to send back information, so the other party still does not know where you live. How did you manage that?”

When they arrived home, Qiu Wuji sat on the sofa chatting with Moon Shadow, holding her hand like an aunt. Chu Ge had no expression on his face.

It was really awkward to see her behave like a kind and amiable old lady when she had planned to expel the neighbour and erase her memory.

It was as if Qiu Wuji sensed Chu Ge’s thoughts and turned her head to glare at him, saying, “Go away, you’re not good at talking to girls.”

Chu Ge shrunk back and said, “I’ll go take a shower.”

Why did the man have to leave just because the girl didn’t want to talk? It’s so frustrating!

Moon Shadow glanced at Chu Ge as he went to the bathroom with his clothes and quietly said, “Every time I leave, I walk in the shadows to make sure no one is following me before showing myself again.”

“Why not just use the shadows the whole time?” Qiu Wuji asked. With this power, no one would even see her sneaking home in the middle of the night.

“I… can’t. My ability is not strong enough.”

Qiu Wuji looked at Moon Shadow up and down, and Moon Shadow felt like a sharp arrow had pierced deep into her soul, as if everything about her was visible to the person in front of her.

What kind of ability was this?

“Your shadow control is very powerful, even I can’t do it. It is a very strong talent with infinite potential,” Qiu Wuji mused. As the head of a sect, she thought that if they had more people with this kind of ability, they could study this shadow technique together.

Unfortunately, Moon Shadow probably wouldn’t be able to join them.

“How did you develop this ability?”

“I don’t know… When I was a child, I didn’t have anyone to play with, so I would talk to my shadow. Gradually, I realized they seemed to understand what I was saying.”

Suddenly, Chu Ge yelled from the bathroom, “Which year did it start?”

Moon Shadow didn’t answer.

Qiu Wuji grabbed a pillow and threw it at the bathroom and yelled, “Take your shower!”

Moon Shadow listened to the sound of water running in the bathroom for a while before whispering, “It started about three or four years ago. I don’t remember the specifics.”

The room fell silent.

Chu Ge was also feeling a bit down inside. A little girl who no one talked to, talking to herself in front of a shadow… the story behind this was a bit too sad, and it wasn’t appropriate to ask.

After a while, Moon Shadow whispered, “Thank you for saving me. I will move out soon and not cause you any trouble.”

“If the others don’t even know you live here, there’s no trouble,” Qiu Wuji said lightly. “Who can cause trouble for the person I want to protect?”

Chu Ge: “…”

Forget it, the police have already intervened, there shouldn’t be any problems…Why did she let her stay in with them in the first place?

Soon, Qiu Wuji said, “Because I’m very interested in your ability, and I want to know if it can be learned or promoted.”

As expected.

Moon Shadow said, “But I really don’t know how this ability came about.”

Qiu Wuji asked, “How did you develop it?”

“I don’t know… I just know that I gradually became stronger by fighting more with people. Before, I couldn’t hurt anyone with my shadow, but later I could,” Moon Shadow replied.

“Is it useful to practice repeatedly and train normally?”

“Yes, it’s slow, but practicing repeatedly is useful. Fighting is the fastest way.”

Qiu Wuji nodded slightly. After all, this still belonged to a kind of spiritual ability, and the spirit could be enhanced through repeated exercise. As for fighting, it was nothing more than faster progress under high pressure, so it wasn’t unusual.

However, the way she was born with this ability was very special, and it was almost impossible to replicate.

“No wonder you went to fight underground boxing… It’s strange that you weren’t lured into being a bodyguard or killer or something,” Qiu Wuji said.

Moon Shadow shook her head. “I don’t trust them and don’t want to take orders. Winning money by winning matches is straightforward and honest.”

She paused and added, “I don’t trust anyone.”

Qiu Wuji looked into her eyes and knew that this was a very isolated girl, with a thick emotional wall guarding her heart, and she only trusted the shadows around her.

All of the talk today was about “life-saving grace,” but it didn’t mean that she really trusted them much. After experiencing a life-threatening crisis today, her trust in people was even lower.

It was a tragedy for this child. She thought that winning money by winning matches was straightforward and honest, but there was definitely some money being embezzled here. Otherwise, why would others risk their lives to fight underground boxing? The income must not be low, but it seemed like she didn’t have much.

If she was going to be cheated even in this, who could she trust?

It seemed like Chu Ge was about to come out of the bathroom, and Moon Shadow finally stood up calmly and said, “I can’t go fight anymore… Sister, if you want to explore my ability, feel free to find me anytime. I won’t interfere in your personal life as a couple…”

Qiu Wuji’s thoughts were completely interrupted by this sentence, and her voice suddenly became eight degrees higher, “Who said we are a couple!”

“I understand,” Moon Shadow bowed and left the room.

Qiu Wuji: “?”

What did you understand?
