《Powers》


 awaken

    As night falls, the city''s neon lights illuminate the night sky like stars, making this city that never sleeps particularly charming. Chu Feng stood in front of the french window of the company building, looking at the city where he had lived for many years, but felt a sense of inexplicable emptiness in his heart. The repetitive work every day, crowded subway, and seemingly never-ending projects make up his entire life. He had fantasized countless times about being able to escape from all of this, but reality always kept him firmly bound in place.


    Today, as usual, Chu Feng, who worked overtime until late at night, dragged his tired body out of the company. His footsteps were heavy and his mood was low, as if even the surrounding lights had become dim and lifeless. He walked through the bustling crowd towards the subway station, hoping for something unusual to happen in his heart.


    Inside the subway station, the crowd is surging, and everyone is in a hurry, as if avoiding something. Chu Feng stood on the platform, his headphones playing upbeat music, trying to relax his mood. However, as soon as the subway entered the station, he felt a hint of strangeness.


    The subway lights traced light marks in the tunnel, and Chu Feng''s gaze was involuntarily attracted by a faint blue light. The blue light seemed to summon him, making his heart beat faster, and an unprecedented feeling surged within him. He reached out his hand, wanting to touch the light, but suddenly felt a strong electric current coming from his fingertips, instantly spreading throughout his body.


    Chu Feng''s body suddenly shook, and he felt as if he was surrounded by some kind of force. The world around him became blurry, only the blue light became brighter and brighter. He wanted to call for help, but found himself unable to make any sound. At this moment, the roar of the subway station awakened him from this strange state.


    The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.He came to his senses and found himself still standing on the platform, surrounded by people still rushing around as if nothing had happened. But Chu Feng knew that everything had changed. He could feel the energy surging inside his body, as if something had been awakened.


    The subway door opened and Chu Feng walked in mechanically, his heart filled with doubt and fear. He doesn''t know where this power comes from, nor does he know where it will take him. But he knew that his life would no longer be ordinary.


    The subway was speeding through the dark tunnel, but a huge wave rose in Chu Feng''s heart. He began to try to control this force and feel its existence. He reached out and gently touched the handrail of the subway, immediately feeling a faint electric current flowing through his fingertips.


    He closed his eyes, focused, trying to understand the essence of this force. Suddenly, he felt a strange connection, as if he could sense the running status of the subway and even the emotional fluctuations of the people around him through this current.


    Chu Feng''s heart was filled with shock as he realized that he might have acquired some supernatural ability. He began to explore the scope and limits of this ability, but at the same time, he was also worried about the consequences that this force might bring.


    The subway finally arrived at the terminal station, and Chu Feng walked out of the carriage with the crowd. His steps became firm, and his heart was filled with determination. He decided to figure out the source of this power and its significance to himself.


    Chu Feng was walking home, and the night breeze brushed against his face, bringing a hint of coolness. He looked up at the night sky and secretly swore in his heart that no matter how difficult the road ahead was, he would bravely face it.

 Undercurrent surge

    Chu Feng lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, his thoughts racing like wild horses. Last night¡¯s experience felt dreamlike yet so real. He sensed a power stirring within him, waiting for his command. Taking a deep breath, he decided to try again to control it.


    Slowly, he reached for the bedside lamp switch, silently thinking, "Light up." Instantly, a faint current flowed from his fingertips, spreading through his body and concentrating at his fingertips. He felt an unprecedented connection, as if he had a mysterious link to everything around him. The next moment, the lamp emitted a dim glow.


    His heart raced¡ªhe had succeeded! But what was the source of this power? How could he wield it? Countless questions swirled in his mind. He decided to start small and explore the limits of this power gradually.


    The next day, Chu Feng went to work as usual, but his mind was elsewhere. His fingers tapped the keyboard unconsciously, drifting back to last night¡¯s experiment. He wanted to try again, but with people moving around the office, he hesitated.


    During lunch break, Chu Feng went to the rooftop alone. It was empty and quiet, the ideal place for his experiments. Taking a deep breath and concentrating, he reached out, attempting to light a lamp as he had last night. However, no matter how hard he tried, the lamp remained unresponsive.

    Frowning, he felt a twinge of frustration. Was this power unstable, or did he not fully grasp it yet? He decided to try a different approach. Closing his eyes, he let his consciousness flow with the current inside him, trying to sense the essence of this power.


    Suddenly, he felt a subtle vibration, as if the current was jumping in his veins. Opening his eyes in surprise, he discovered a faint blue light emanating from his palm. As he brought his hand closer to the lamp post, the blue glow intensified, and the lamp lit up.


    Filled with excitement, Chu Feng realized he had found the key to controlling this power. He began experimenting with different methods, discovering that when he focused and felt the flow of the current, he could control it better.


    Just as he was immersed in his experiment, he didn¡¯t notice the rooftop door quietly opening. A man in a black suit walked in, his sharp gaze seemingly searching for something. When he saw the blue light in Chu Feng¡¯s palm, surprise flickered in his eyes.


    Sensing someone approaching, Chu Feng quickly withdrew his power and turned to face the man. The man¡¯s scrutinizing gaze assessed him before he slowly asked, ¡°What are you doing here?¡±


    Chu Feng¡¯s heart tightened; he didn¡¯t know how to respond. He sensed the man was not ordinary, and there was a hint of danger in his presence. Choosing his words carefully, he replied, ¡°I just came up for some fresh air.¡±


    After sizing him up, the man nodded and turned to leave. Chu Feng let out a sigh of relief, but confusion filled his mind. Who was this man? Why was he here? More importantly, did he notice Chu Feng¡¯s secret?


    Chu Feng resolved to be cautious; he couldn¡¯t let anyone discover his secret. He needed to explore and control this power carefully while protecting himself from any unknown dangers.

 Dark Night Tracking

    As night fell again, the city lights flickered to life, and Chu Feng stood by the window, gazing at the distant neon glow. His heartbeat synced with the city''s pulse, and the power within him felt more active in the darkness. The image of the mysterious man lingered in his mind, prompting him to unravel the mystery tonight.


    Dressed in black night gear and wearing a hat to conceal his face, he checked his equipment: a multi-tool knife, a small telescope, and a silenced phone. Taking a deep breath, he pushed open the window, nimbly leaping onto the ledge before disappearing into the night like a shadow.


    He descended the fire escape with agility, moving silently through the streets, and began tracking the man who had vanished the previous night. The bustling crowd offered cover, and he remained focused, alert for any signs of the man.


    Suddenly, he spotted him¡ªa figure in a black suit exiting a bar. Heart racing, he slowed his pace, pretending to look at his phone while keeping the man in his peripheral vision. The man walked steadily toward a secluded alley, and Chu Feng seized the opportunity to follow.


    The alley was dimly lit, heightening Chu Feng''s sharp eyesight. He could clearly see the man¡¯s shadow on the ground and even hear his breath. Moving carefully, he followed, each step as silent as possible.


    This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.


    The man stopped at the end of the alley, seemingly waiting for someone. Chu Feng hid behind a trash bin, holding his breath as his heartbeat quickened. He knew that any mistake could lead to failure.


    Just then, a black car approached and stopped in front of the man. Chu Feng¡¯s heart raced; this was a critical moment. He watched the exchange of words between the man and someone inside the car, then saw the man produce a small package and hand it over.


    Instinctively, Chu Feng knew the package held something important. Taking a risk, he quietly moved to the other side of the car. In the instant the man turned, he swiftly opened the door and snatched the package.


    The man reacted quickly, lunging at Chu Feng. With no time to inspect the package, Chu Feng hugged it tightly and ran, moving like a black flash through the alley.


    The man pursued him closely, equally agile. Chu Feng could hear the footsteps growing nearer, urging him to run faster. He knew capture would expose his secret.


    Emerging from the alley onto a busy street, he blended into the crowd, using it to shake off his pursuer. He kept running, determined to find a safe spot to uncover the contents of the package.


    He found a secluded corner in a park and opened the package, revealing a map and several documents. Furrowing his brow, he realized the man might be involved in something far larger than he could imagine.


    Suddenly, his phone buzzed with an unknown number. Hesitating, he answered.


    ¡°Who are you?¡± Chu Feng¡¯s voice was low and cautious.


    A familiar voice replied, ¡°Chu Feng, I know you have the package. Let¡¯s talk.¡±


    Startled, Chu Feng realized this game was far more complicated than he had anticipated.

 The vortex of conspiracy

    Chu Feng stood under the dim streetlight, his phone pressed against his ear, his gaze alert and profound. The voice on the other end of the phone seemed to carry a hint of playfulness, which raised an inexplicable unease in his heart. He knew that he had entered an unknown realm, and every step could be an abyss.


    Where shall we meet? "Chu Feng''s voice was low, trying to conceal his inner turmoil.


    Do you know the ''Dark Night Cafe'' in the city center? I''ll wait for you there. "The voice on the other end of the phone was calm and steady, as if everything was under control.


    Chu Feng hung up the phone, his brow furrowed¡® The Dark Night Cafe, a place he had never heard of before, but he had no choice but to go. He stuffed the map and files into his backpack, took a deep breath, and walked towards the unknown.


    The night breeze carried a hint of coolness, and Chu Feng''s footsteps echoed on the open streets. His emotions are complex, with both fear of the unknown and a thirst for the truth. He occasionally turned around to make sure he wasn''t being followed.


    The ''Dark Night Cafe'' is located in a remote alley, with no sign at the entrance and only a dim yellow light swaying in the wind. Chu Feng pushed open the door, and a strong aroma of coffee rushed towards him, forming a sharp contrast with the cold outside.


    The coffee shop is dimly lit with only a few tables of customers. Chu Feng''s gaze swept around the room and finally landed on a man wearing a black windbreaker by the bar. The man had his back to him, but he could feel that aura, it was the person on the phone.


    Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.Chu Feng walked slowly over, taking every step carefully. He sat in the chair opposite the man, staring directly at him.


    You''re very punctual. "The man turned around, his face hidden in the shadows, with only a pair of sharp eyes flickering in the dim light.


    Who are you? How did you know I would come here? "Chu Feng''s voice carried a hint of coldness.


    The man chuckled lightly, took out a small device from his arms, and placed it on the table. This little gadget can track anyone carrying a specific signal. And you happen to be carrying that signal


    Chu Feng was startled and realized that he might have been implanted with a tracker. There was a hint of anger in his eyes, but it was soon replaced by calmness.


    What do you want from me? "Chu Feng''s voice was calm, but his heart was rapidly thinking of countermeasures.


    We are very interested in your power, "the man''s voice was low with a hint of temptation." Join us, and you will gain power and wealth beyond your imagination


    Chu Feng''s lips curved into a sneer, ''What if I refuse?''


    A hint of coldness flashed in the man''s eyes, ''So, you will face dangers that you cannot imagine.''


    Chu Feng''s heart sank as he knew this man was not joking. He needs time and more information to make a decision.


    I need to think about it, "Chu Feng slowly stood up and prepared to leave.


    The man didn''t stop him, just said lightly, "Remember, time waits for no one


    Chu Feng walked out of the coffee shop, and the night breeze seemed even colder. His heart was filled with doubts and unease, but he knew he had no way out. He must uncover the secrets behind all of this, no matter what awaits him ahead.
