Magnetic Field Maniac

Matt drove while Gu Qing sat in the passenger seat.

Steve and Andrew sat in the back.

Not long after they left the restaurant, a light drizzle began to fall from the sky.

By now, it had turned into a torrential downpour.

The three of them were still caught up in their excitement, unable to contain themselves.

—Beep beep!

A horn blared from behind them, interrupting their conversation and fantasies.

It annoyed them slightly.

Steve couldn't help turning to look.

That car was following right behind them, honking continuously.

"Come on, you can go around."

Perhaps because of the rain, there were no other vehicles on this road.

Just as Steve had said, the car behind them could indeed have gone around from the side.

But the driver clearly had no intention of doing so.

The horn continued blaring endlessly behind them.

Steve looked a little angry.

Matt comforted him. "It's fine. Just some hillbilly asshole."

Andrew, meanwhile, looked eager to try something.

"Steve, hold this for me."

As he spoke, he handed his cherished camera to Steve.

He wanted Steve to film him.

Andrew lightly waved a hand at the car behind them.

—Bang!

The other car's headlights burst one after another, and the entire vehicle immediately spun out of control.

It smashed through the roadside guardrail and plunged down.

"Oh! Shit! What the fuck did you do?!"

Steve was instantly horrified!

Gu Qing, meanwhile, had watched the entire thing unfold, yet had no intention of stopping it.

"Matt, stop the car!"

Matt had also seen what happened through the rearview mirror.

He slammed on the brakes, then ran out of the car with Steve.

The rain poured down, quickly soaking both of them.

Andrew realized he had caused trouble too and got out of the car after them.

Gu Qing was the last to step out, but just as the rain was about to hit him, it seemed to encounter an invisible barrier.

It automatically slid away to either side.

Walking through the downpour, Gu Qing remained completely dry.

What he used was not merely Telekinesis, but Magnetic Field Power driven by his psychic power.

Using his own biological magnetic field, he formed a barrier that blocked the rain.

Very soon, they reached the bottom of the rocky slope, where there was a lake.

That car had already plunged into the water.

Only half of its body remained above the surface.

The three of them anxiously paced around on the shore.

Andrew still held up his camera, Matt took out his phone to call the police.

Steve had already begun taking off his clothes, intending to swim over and save the driver.

Gu Qing narrowed his eyes slightly, and the currents beneath the lake's surface began to stir.

They rushed into the driver's mouth and nostrils, fighting to pour inside and snuff out the last trace of life within him.

Not long after, Steve dragged the driver back to shore.

He gave him some basic first aid.

"Oh my God, please! Don't do this!"

Steve frantically performed CPR and mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

But it was completely useless.

"He... he's dead."

Matt lost it too. "Fuck! How did this happen?!"

He viciously pointed at Andrew. "Look at what you did! You killed someone! You killed someone!"

Andrew looked utterly at a loss.

He wanted to explain himself, but had no idea what to say, and the other two had no intention of listening anyway.

Matt picked up his phone, intending to call the police.

Andrew stepped forward to stop him, pleading, "Matt, don't. Hang up."

Matt irritably slapped away the hand Andrew reached out with. "Fuck! Shut up!"

A faint smile tugged at Gu Qing's lips as he quietly watched everything unfold.

With a mere thought, he disrupted the magnetic field.

Matt's phone was left with nothing but a string of busy signals.

The call simply would not go through.

Matt naturally blamed the poor signal on the storm.

"Damn it! The call won't go through! Shit! This damn weather!"

Hearing that, Andrew let out a slight sigh of relief.

Gu Qing waited a little longer.

Once the three of them had calmed down somewhat.

He stepped forward and said, "If I were you, I'd give up on calling the police."

Andrew was the first to agree. "Erik is right."

Steve looked at Gu Qing. "Erik, what do you mean?"

Gu Qing said flatly, "Someone died. The police won't let this go easily. As the only witnesses, all of us will definitely be taken to the station to give statements.

Are you planning to turn Andrew in? Tell the police that he killed the man?"

Steve and Matt fell silent.

Were they really going to turn Andrew in?

Matt looked at Andrew, his closest cousin, and the hand clutching his phone loosened slightly.

Gu Qing continued, "If the police really arrest Andrew on a murder charge, would he just surrender without resistance?

When that happens, we might be exposed along with him.

You've already experienced how extraordinary the power we possess is.

If those people in high places find out, I think all of us will be captured just like Andrew, and the place they send us to definitely won't be a prison."

This time, everyone fell silent, including Andrew.

They had been completely panicked just now and had not considered the chain reactions that would follow.

The rain fell on their heads, but the cold seeped into their hearts.

They might not have come of age yet, but they knew how serious this was.

Once exposed, they would undoubtedly face all kinds of inhumane experiments, dissected like lab rats!

Matt said unwillingly, "But what about this guy?"

Gu Qing shrugged. "There is an old saying in the East: all things have cause and effect.

His honking provocation was the cause, and Andrew accidentally killing him was the effect.

As they say, every sip and every peck is ordained by fate. Perhaps this is the best ending for him."

The three of them did not really understand what he meant, but only Andrew showed a thoughtful look in his eyes.

The way he looked at Gu Qing also became unconsciously warmer!

It was as though he had found one of his own kind!

Gu Qing took in all three of their reactions.

Yet inwardly, he sneered.

Andrew from the original movie had become crazy enough later on, but he had also been stupid enough.

Since Gu Qing wanted to raise him into a Magnetic Field God of War, he naturally needed Andrew to evolve into a Magnetic Field Maniac as quickly as possible.

Nothing was more convenient or efficient than personally experiencing the act of taking a fellow human's life.

Besides, today's incident would create a rift between Steve and Matt on one side, and Andrew on the other.

It would lay the groundwork for their future hostility.

A Magnetic Field God of War needed enough combat to grow stronger.

And there was no opponent more suitable than another Magnetic Field God of War!

Although the nations of this world possessed fairly decent military power.

As long as they could take that step and enter the realm of Magnetic Field Rotation.

The threat posed by nations would be greatly reduced.

The only ones truly qualified to be opponents would be fellow Gods of War!

When the time came, perhaps they could contaminate this planet's magnetic field and give rise to even more Magnetic Field Masters!

They would forcibly twist this world into one belonging to Magnetic Field Maniacs.

And besides gaining a whole host of opponents, Gu Qing would also gain enough Spacetime Value!
