From BOSS to Canon Fodder: She is Currently Out of Service!-Chapter 155 - 77: Awkward Dream
Su Jiameng smiled bitterly inside; she used to think that telekinesis was too eye-catching, so she always hid it, afraid of being monitored for being a Mind Power User. But now, she finally understood that she was overthinking it...
Xu Na patted her shoulder and said with a smile, "Xiao Meng, I remember someone saying that dreams and reality are the opposite. You shouldn’t worry too much. In my opinion, the two kids will definitely have a bright future, so rest assured a hundredfold!"
Su Jiameng chuckled awkwardly, not giving a straightforward response to their reassurance, and her mind pondered other things. Given the world’s incorrect perception of telekinesis, it provides her with certain advantages and also quite a few deadly constraints.
The advantage is that no one knows about the existence of telekinesis or what it is; for Su Jiameng, this is an absolute edge. At a critical moment, it might even turn the tide of a crisis! It’s her biggest trump card!
As for constraints, if others find out she’s also a potential patient of "Simoles Deficiency Syndrome," they would certainly wonder about the differences between her and other patients. She might then be sent to a lab for slicing and research, contributing to the ultimate conquest of this disease. To avoid this scenario, she needs to conceal what must be concealed, lest she dies without knowing why.
Su Jiameng knows what a Level Nine telekinesis means, and if she were truly desperate, perhaps the entire Qiming Star could become her burial ground. This sounds formidable—one person steering the fate of an entire planet—but this power, compared to the Alliance’s military strength, is undoubtedly a drop in the ocean; personal strength inevitably has its boundaries.
She doesn’t have the capability or courage to fight against the whole Alliance or even the current trends.
To live well and reach the end of her natural life span, she must not lose her mind and spirit! Su Jiameng repeatedly warns herself inwardly, whether for herself or for the two children, she must restrain!
"I know these things, but I can’t help but worry." Su Jiameng smiled sheepishly and continued, "I did some online research on related issues before, but there’s still one lingering question. If... I mean hypothetically, someone is diagnosed with this disease, what kind of situation would they face? Not the burden caused by the disease itself, but the influence exerted by the outside world..."
"Patients with Simoles Deficiency Syndrome are somewhat different from ordinary people, and it’s inevitable that the outside world views them differently, but they won’t bully the weak; at most, they’ll throw in some sarcastic remarks. If the family’s financial situation isn’t good, the Alliance will provide a monthly subsidy to the individual, and a significant portion of medical expenses can be reimbursed..." In general, as long as the patient maintains a good mindset, life isn’t too painful.
Lucy’s words made Su Jiameng feel much better; at least, the current society’s attitude towards "telekinesis" is relatively favorable.
In her second life’s world, ordinary people regarded mind power users as heroes against the Insect Race, yet simultaneously harbored deep fear and even rejection of this uncommon ability. At least among the mind power users she knew, some depended on the Alliance, while others walked alone.
If one wants to conceal telekinesis—that is, the unique spiritual fluctuations of Simoles Deficiency Syndrome—without others discovering anything unusual, they must achieve a certain strength in controlling spiritual power, allowing them to hide perfectly among the masses.
"That’s good then..." Su Jiameng forced a smile, and after everyone went offline, she grabbed each of her two eggs in turn for a lecture, "Listen to Mama, you can’t use floating or other abilities easily, even at home. If you must use them, make sure Su Mo or Changxi is by your side, understood?"
She doesn’t expect the two children, whose consciousnesses have only been formed recently, to understand her words, but only by instructing them this way can she feel at ease.
However, several challenges lie before her, such as the children’s unconscious telekinesis outbreaks... Should the special spiritual fluctuations of telekinesis fail to be completely hidden, and if the two children are discovered as naturally born "Simoles Deficiency Syndrome" patients, their future life will undoubtedly face numerous constraints, possibly unable to showcase their talents and only able to disguise themselves as spiritually weak individuals...
Concealment is a minor issue; the most severe problem is the lifespan of "Simoles Deficiency Syndrome" patients! Could it be that when the time comes, both buns have to fake their deaths together? Then, when the Alliance deactivates their citizenship, they’d become people with unregistered identities!
