Shen Heng looked at everyone and slowly opened his mouth to speak:
"If needed, I can keep it running and listen to what other people are saying."
Although he knew that no normal person would like others to hear their thoughts, Shen Heng himself was no exception.
But after thinking it over, Shen Heng decided to reveal his abilities to the captain and the others.
No one can guarantee that this point will play a crucial role in the future.
As Shen Heng had predicted, everyone was taken aback upon hearing this.
They might take a step back, or their gaze might become serious.
"No, this..."
Han Ling opened her mouth, but for a moment she didn't know what to say.
It's one thing to have your thoughts stolen during battle, but it's a bit terrifying to have your thoughts stolen in ordinary times.
Although she doesn't usually try to hide anything, no...
Han Ling glanced at Wang Hai subconsciously.
"Wait, you can't hear me, can you?" Wei Leyang suddenly interrupted.
Everyone looked at Wei Leyang with suspicion.
The same applies to Shen Heng.
Wei Leyang looked at Shen Heng and said:
"I've been telling myself, 'If you can hear me, look over here, if you can hear me, look over here,' but you haven't looked over at all."
"Judging from this perspective, you shouldn't be able to hear me, otherwise you would have looked at me just now."
Everyone was taken aback upon hearing this, and turned their gazes to Shen Heng Shen Heng, waiting for his explanation.
"..."
Shen Heng looked at Wei Leyang speechlessly.
He really didn't expect Wei Leyang to adapt so quickly, and then he was even testing it out.
He explained:
"Normal people don't like to reveal their true feelings, and I have no interest in what ordinary people are thinking, so I suppress this ability."
"From now on, unless there's a battle or it's absolutely necessary, I won't listen to other people's opinions under normal circumstances."
Han Ling breathed a huge sigh of relief upon hearing this.
This is where word-of-mouth becomes crucial.
The same words spoken by Shen Heng and Wang Hai carry more weight than those spoken by others, especially when combined with what Wei Leyang just said.
Of course, although she felt she could trust him, Han Ling decided to try to avoid thinking about things that might involve her privacy when she was around Shen Heng.
Wang Hai looked at Shen Heng, thought for a moment, and said:
"In the future, if you mention this ability to others, just say that you can steal the opponent's thoughts during battle."
"Others aren't like us, they don't trust you as much."
"If they knew you could unconditionally hear other people's thoughts, it wouldn't have a huge impact, but it would instinctively provoke their resentment, which would be detrimental to your future actions."
Shen Heng nodded and did not refuse.
This was in line with his expectations.
After all, Shen Heng had carefully considered the matter before deciding to tell the captain and the others.
"So, Shen Heng can really hear other people's thoughts in normal times?" Wei Leyang asked from the side.
Shen Heng glanced at Wei Leyang and nodded again to confirm the news.
"Could you describe our innermost thoughts aloud?" Wei Leyang asked tentatively.
Shen Heng was taken aback. He looked at Wei Leyang, thought for a moment, and nodded.
"It should be fine, why?"
Wei Leyang did not reply immediately, but turned to look at the others and said in a deep voice:
"Everyone, how about we play a game of honesty?"
"A game for honest people?" Han Ling asked, puzzled.
"Yes, we should all stand still and not say anything, let Shen Heng let us express our true feelings." Wei Leyang nodded.
No one replied; they simply looked at Wei Leyang with slight surprise.
"Actually, I wanted to see what it would be like to hear those inner thoughts from Shen Heng's perspective," Wei Leyang coughed lightly.
"But whatever you think in your head will be released!" Han Ling said.
"Let him go, we know what Shen Heng's abilities are anyway. As long as we don't think about things we don't want to talk about, it'll be fine, right?" Wei Leyang said matter-of-factly.
After speaking, he looked at Han Ling with some confusion.
"What, is there something you really don't want us to know?"
"None of your business!" Han Ling glared at Wei Leyang.
Wei Leyang didn't pay attention; he looked at the others.
So, are you going to play or not?
Upon hearing this, everyone began to ponder.
Shen Heng then looked at Wei Leyang.
The Honest Man's Game?
Never heard of it.
Did Wei Leyang write this himself?
With my abilities, I'm actually better suited for Truth or Dare, right?
It can help you discern whether what others say is sincere.
wrong...
As if remembering something, Shen Heng turned to look at Wang Hai.
The captain probably wouldn't agree to participate in something so boring.
So, Wei Leyang knew the captain wouldn't agree, which is why he changed the name to "The Game of Honesty"?
Then, seeing that people still didn't quite agree, they changed their question to: what does it sound like from my perspective, to what I hear in my heart?
Wang Hai hesitated for a moment, then said, "Let's give it a try."
"Um, Captain, do you want to play too?" Han Ling looked at Wang Hai in surprise.
"Hmm, perfect timing. I also want to see what Shen Heng will hear, but..."
Wang Hai paused here, then looked at Shen Heng.
"You can play the sounds you normally hear first; I want to experience your full hearing."
Want to experience the world that Shen Heng usually hears about...? Le Gu Nan turned to look at Shen Heng.
She hesitated for a moment, then raised her hand and said, "Um, I'd like to participate too!"
"Huh? Gu Nan, you play too?" Han Ling looked at Le Gu Nan in surprise.
"Hmm." Le Gu Nan nodded gently.
Upon hearing this, Han Ling looked around, and finally, listlessly, raised her hand as well.
"Count me in too!"
"But everyone participated!" Wei Leyang chuckled, then turned to look at Shen Heng.
"Okay, I'm ready!"
Shen Heng glanced around at everyone and reminded them, "Get ready, and don't think about anything you don't want to say."
No one spoke; they simply nodded.
Shen Heng didn't say much, lowered his eyes, and felt the ripples spreading throughout the world.
"The sounds you usually hear...?"
Shen Heng slightly raised his hand.
As the Origin Power surged, sound waves began to dance in his hand...
Le Gu Nan stood quietly to the side.
At first, all around was silent; the only sound was one's own breathing.
At one moment, a hissing sound suddenly broke in; it was the sound of airflow from the ventilation duct.
Soon, more voices poured in.
A faint hum of electricity, the vibration of pipes, the sound of wind Supervision Bureau, and the indistinct conversations of personnel on duty in the park further away...
At first, everyone was quite curious.
But soon, as the sound continued, their brows gradually furrowed.
Noisy, chaotic, disorderly...
Countless sounds intertwined, like a pot of boiling porridge, bubbling and gurgling.
