All My Superpowers Come from the Law of Causality Chapter 4: Looks Like I Guessed Right

"Achoo!"

Su Xin rubbed his nose, hugged himself, and asked, "Sister, do you have any tissues?"

The older sister opened the center console, casually took out a pack of tissues, handed it over, pressed a button on the steering wheel to close the convertible top, and considerately turned on the air conditioning for warmth.

"My na is Fang ngzhu. I’m a few years older than you, so you can call Sister Zhu or Sister ng."

"I’m Su Xin."

Su Xin pulled out a few tissues, blew his nose, looked around, and seeing no trash bag, had to take out more tissues to wrap the paper ball in his hand before speaking.

Fang ngzhu pointed to the center console again, "There are trash bags inside, take a look yourself."

"Okay."

Su Xin didn’t stand on ceremony, turned sideways to rummage through the console, and quickly found a small roll of car trash bags among so clutter, tore one off, attached it to the glovebox in front, and threw the paper ball in.

At this point, the convertible top was completely closed.

With the strong wind from high-speed driving gone, the warm air from the air conditioner began to fill the car, and Su Xin felt much warr.

But he still sneezed twice.

"Achoo!!"

"Achoo!!"

"You won’t catch a cold, will you? You should change out of those wet clothes soon. I happen to have a spare dress in the car, it’s clean..."

"No need, no need! Achoo!"

Su Xin waved his hand while sneezing.

"Then I’ll drive faster and take you to a mall to buy so clothes. Otherwise, your cold will get worse this way."

"No need, no need! Safety first!"

Su Xin waved his hand again.

The other person had been drinking, and it was already bold of him to get in her car. Driving fast would be like he had a death wish.

"Then you should take off those wet clothes quickly. Wearing wet clothes is worse than not wearing any."

"Uh..."

Su Xin thought about it and agreed.

Even with a good body, he couldn’t stand the tornt. Being soaked to the skin, windblown, and keeping wet clothes on, he was bound to catch a cold.

Though a cold isn’t a serious illness, it’s quite unpleasant.

Despite awakening a mysterious power, his body was still like an ordinary person’s, with no extra resistance to illness.

Thinking this, Su Xin hurriedly unbuckled the seat belt, took off his wet sneakers, and stripped off his sweatshirt and T-shirt, putting them into a trash bag by his feet. He also took out his wallet from his pant pocket and spread the money, bank cards, ID card, etc., on the floor mat to dry.

He began to miss the convenient mobile paynts from his previous life. In this world, most scenarios still used cash or bank cards, requiring people to carry money with them.

Just now, he was drenched, and his wallet’s contents were mostly soaked.

While recalling the vague mories of his past life, Su Xin silently pulled out a few more tissues to wipe the water off himself.

"You can take off your pants too. I an the outer layer, don’t take off the innermost one..."

Fang ngzhu added with a playful tone, "Don’t worry, I won’t peek."

"Then I’ll really take them off!"

Seeing Fang ngzhu’s expression and that she didn’t object, Su Xin took off his pants, put them in a trash bag, and continued to wipe the water off his legs with tissues.

Fang ngzhu seed to have forgotten her promise, turned her head to look at Su Xin, and said, "I didn’t expect you to have such a good body for your age, with chest and abdominal muscles."

"Of course, I work out every day."

After wiping his body, Su Xin took a pair of pants from a clean garbage bag, opened the car window, and held the pants out to wring them dry.

"What makes you so uneasy at your age?"

It was at this mont, Fang ngzhu suddenly asked.

"Hmm?"

Su Xin turned to her with a puzzled look.

With a confident smile, Fang ngzhu asserted, "You were also going to kill yourself, right?"

"..."

"Looks like I guessed right."

"...No, I wasn’t..."

"The railings there are tens of ters away from the sea, so you couldn’t have accidentally fallen in. And as I walked over, I didn’t see any observation decks or anything nearby that you could have fallen into the sea from normally, so you couldn’t have swum there by falling from sowhere else nearby either."

Even with most of her face covered by sunglasses, Fang ngzhu’s raised lips conveyed her confidence in her reasoning.

"This..."

Su Xin continued wringing his pants until no more water ca out, pulled them back in through the window, took out a shirt from another garbage bag, and began squeezing it too, speaking slowly, "Isn’t it possible..."

"You’re thinking soone threw you into the sea, right?"

Fang ngzhu confidently cut him off, "If soone threw you into the sea, you should have injuries or binding marks on your body, but you don’t have any of those."

"Another possibility is that soone drugged you before throwing you into the sea. But if that were the case, you wouldn’t have been able to swim to the shore alive; even if you did, you’d be weak, not energetic like this."

"So, any other explanations?"

Su Xin couldn’t see Fang ngzhu’s expression.

But he could imagine the smug ’I’ve seen through everything’ look on her face.

"Who’s the detective ani fan here?"

"You’re getting into character already..."

Su Xin ntally complained.

But he could see that her self-proclaid, brilliant detective show had improved Fang ngzhu’s mood a lot. He didn’t plan on refuting her and chose to play along with her guess.

He retrieved the clothes already wrung as dry as possible, placed them next to the pants at the air vent, then rolled the car window up again, and rembered to buckle the seat belt.

Then he leaned back against the seat.

He let out a heavy sigh.

Gazing skyward at a forty-five-degree angle, his eyes seed to pierce through the sports car’s roof, falling into the endless distant stars. His gaze full of rembrance and lancholy, as if recalling certain past events:

"You’re right."

"I did jump into the sea myself."

"There’s nothing much to hang onto in life."

"But, once I was in the sea, fear overwheld ; the despair of impending death was terrifying. Compared to that despair, all my prior worries seed trivial."

"So, I swam back as hard as I could."

Speaking, Su Xin turned to Fang ngzhu again, sincerely saying:

"Don’t contemplate suicide lightly; it’s terrifying."

"Not being able to breathe in the sea, unable to see anything, being tossed by waves, with seawater in your nose and mouth, breathing becos strenuous, like watching your life ebb away with nothing you can do."

"It’s more despairing and terrifying than imagined."

"Heard suicide by jumping is worse, the head shattering with a ’crack’ into pieces."

"Not only is the process of dying scary, but also the postmortem state is horrifying. I’ve heard drowned bodies swell all over, their faces like pig heads, while jumpers end up as a ss of minced at..."

Listening to his description, Fang ngzhu’s face grew darker, and when she heard the phrase ’minced at,’ she finally couldn’t help but scream:

"Stop it!!"

"Ding! You earned 10 causality points!"

Su Xin showed a smile.

It seed she thoroughly abandoned the idea of suicide.

But right at that mont, his expression suddenly changed, and pointing forward, he shouted in alarm:

"Look at the road! Look at the road!"
