All My Superpowers Come from the Law of Causality-Chapter 99: I Believe, I Believe

Su Xin pondered for a long time but found no clue.

’Not conforming to normal phenomena’—this phrase could be somewhat understood, such as having supernatural abilities, having killed someone, or inheriting more than ten million in estate.

Things that most people don’t have or can’t do should all be considered ’not conforming to normal phenomena.’

Under this premise, lying.

For example, he could say that he’s killed hundreds of people, inherited assets worth over a billion, has invincible supernatural abilities, can fly, etc. Such lies would meet the task’s prerequisites.

But the biggest problem is...

How to make others believe it without doubt?

This is the point that renders Su Xin clueless.

The only place he could think of where he might find a shortcut is within ’everyone who hears.’

Since everyone who hears the lie must believe it without doubt, just letting one person hear would suffice.

Having no one hear is obviously not an option.

That way, no one would believe, which evidently does not meet the task’s requirements.

If too many people hear, it’s even more troublesome; there are always those who are very suspicious. If everyone else believes, even if just one person doesn’t, the task’s progress wouldn’t be satisfied.

One person would be the best option.

As Su Xin was immersed in thought, a waiter came to his seat, smiling broadly: "Excuse me, sir, sorry to interrupt, there aren’t enough tables; these two guests need to join you at your table. We practice table sharing here, thank you for understanding."

Saying this, he gestured to the young couple behind him and invited them to sit across from Su Xin.

While the girl was ordering, the guy smiled and nodded towards Su Xin.

Su Xin returned the smile.

He casually moved a few dishes closer to himself, leaving more space for the couple, then focused on his meal.

After a while.

When the girl finished ordering and exchanged a few words with the guy, she turned to Su Xin and asked:

"Hey handsome, are you a local, or are you touring here alone?"

Su Xin looked up and gave her a lukewarm response: "Touring."

"Are you by yourself? We find it a bit dull with just the two of us; why not join us? We can look out for each other, and taking pictures would be much easier."

"No need, I’m used to being alone."

Su Xin declined flatly.

The guy smiled and chimed in: "Hey man, my girlfriend’s straightforward; that suggestion might have been a bit presumptuous, but don’t mind, she’s sincerely inviting you. Actually, I also think having company while traveling is better; you never know what might happen in unfamiliar places; fewer people might get bullied."

"How about this, after we finish eating, we plan to wander around here looking for fun places. If you don’t have plans, why not join us?"

"If we get along, maybe we can hang out together for a couple of days, make friends, what do you say?"

Su Xin still declined flatly:

"No, I’m done eating. Goodbye."

With that, he set down his chopsticks, took a napkin to wipe his mouth, picked up his bag, and left.

The young couple exchanged a look.

The guy gestured with his eyes to another side, a young man with a buzz cut nodded and nonchalantly followed Su Xin.

When Su Xin’s figure completely vanished from sight, the guy spat:

"That kid is really arrogant; I can’t stand people like him. See how I’ll teach him a lesson later."

The girl rolled her eyes at him: "That young man seems generous, looks quite wealthy, just take what you can, don’t really cause trouble, and avoid provoking his family’s retaliation."

"Relax, I know what I’m doing."

...

The young man with a buzz cut followed Su Xin throughout. Seeing Su Xin standing at the roadside, seemingly ready to hail a taxi, he quickened his pace and bumped into Su Xin by ’accident.’

"Are you blind! Can’t you see someone walking? Don’t you know how to move aside?"

He arrogantly pushed against Su Xin’s chest, shouting: "Apologize to me! Or you won’t leave here today!"

Su Xin set a counter-curse on the guy, then without hesitation punched him in the chest with a dull thud.

The guy grunted, staggering and retreating several steps, almost falling.

Su Xin rushed forward and kicked him in the chest again, sending him sitting onto the sidewalk, nearly colliding with passersby.

"Stop acting crazy in front of me, get lost!"

Without waiting for him to regain composure, Su Xin saw an empty taxi approaching, hurriedly hailed it, and got in, saying:

"To Sunshine Community in Lening City."

"Three hundred."

"No problem, go."

"Alright!"

The driver laughed, stepped on the accelerator.

The young man gasping for breath saw Su Xin leaving like that, instantly cursed in fury.

Not just because of being kicked, but mainly because the prey their group targeted got away.

Su Xin’s reaction really surprised him; being caught off guard, he was instantly struck down, otherwise, the other couldn’t have escaped.

Soon, two companions came over and scolded the buzz-cut young man for a while, then reluctantly left, looking for another target.

In the taxi.

The driver glanced at Su Xin in the rear seat via the rearview mirror, smiled and said:

"Hey kid, you handled that pretty well!"

"Not bad."

"There are many small gangs like this here targeting tourists, especially those alone; they’re prime targets. Best not to travel alone in the future."

"Thanks, I know."

Su Xin nodded.

Then he thought of his task, pondered briefly, and added:

"Boss, don’t be fooled by my age, actually, I’m a member of the Celestial Wolf Gang; the boss Xu Yongshou is my uncle. I grew up fighting and chopping with gang members, these punks don’t even matter to me."

"Oh? Quite impressive."

The driver responded with a grin.

But Su Xin didn’t receive any task progress update, indicating either this lie didn’t meet the conditions or the driver didn’t fully believe.

That’s normal.

Two strangers chatting wouldn’t easily trust each other’s words, let alone believe without doubt.

Su Xin simply took out a pocket knife, opened it, leaned forward, and placed the cold blade against the driver’s neck, smiling:

"Boss, you’re being dismissive, don’t you believe what I just said?"

Feeling the chill at his neck, the driver’s body stiffened, hearing Su Xin’s words made his face further tremble, cautiously saying:

"No, no! I believe, I believe!"

Damn it, a teenager chatting nicely suddenly puts a knife to someone’s throat, still smiling—definitely not normal behavior.

Recalling Su Xin claiming to have grown up with gang members, he’s the boss’s nephew, he instantly believed, strongly and without doubt.

After all, under normal circumstances, how could there be such a violent young man?

"Ding! [Truth and Lies] progress +1."

Su Xin put away the knife, still smiling:

"Sorry, just had a fight, still a bit fired up, so a little impulsive. As compensation, I’ll double the fare later; how about that?"
