Chapter 84 The Story of Paul
Paul is a computer website developer, a very good one. He is an ordinary person who does not know the existence of the other world, and no one has ever told him.
What is different from other people is that Paul has had a characteristic since he was a child. His static electricity has always been extremely strong. He often electrocutes others unintentionally. But after all, it is static electricity, and it will not really hurt people no matter how strong it is.
.So Paul still spent his childhood smoothly.
However, as he grew older, Paul discovered a terrible problem. The static electricity on his body seemed to be getting stronger and stronger. He had even killed a large number of insects unintentionally. Paul began to pay attention to this problem. But he did not find a reasonable reason.
explanation, let alone treatment of this symptom.
There are no more than three people in the world with similar symptoms to him. So there is no real case at all. In fact, the vast majority of doctors believe that this is not a disease at all. It is just a superficial variation of some kind of body. It has to be
This conjecture is actually closer to the truth.
At the age of twenty-five, Paul was able to emit visible electricity from his fingers. He no longer dared to interact with others, and he could no longer work on computers. In desperation, he had no choice but to quit his job and return home.
.However, this phenomenon has not weakened, on the contrary, it is rapidly intensifying. And it is becoming more and more difficult to control.
Until Paul accidentally electrocuted the pet cat at home. His parents could no longer tolerate him. They thought it was a monster. It is hard to imagine such parents, but it is the fact. And this is also the relationship between European and American families.
A typical manifestation of this is the indifference of the concept of family affection. In fact, Americans themselves are also aware of their shortcomings in this regard.
In American movies, especially those science fiction movies, once the protagonist, or anyone else, acquires special abilities such as superpowers, he will never get support from anyone. Whether it is friends, neighbors, or even people.
Parents will reject them without any surprise. And there will always be a lot of inexplicable guys jumping out to guide public opinion, as if anyone with super powers must die. And they not only talk about it, but also take practical actions. Those
Special beings always lose all their rights overnight and are directly sent to the gallows or even the dissecting table. The reason is simply that their existence threatens the safety of the masses.
Paul truly realized this, and his parents became increasingly impatient with his presence. They avoided him and refused to eat with him. Although there would be no problem as long as there was no physical contact, they still avoided him at any time.
Drive him. Don't even have any communication with him.
They did not kick him out, but this indifference was more terrifying than kicking him out of the house. Paul felt that he could no longer bear it. He hid alone in his room every day, unable to use computers, mobile phones and other electrical appliances. He could only
Relying on magazines and living. He can't work because people outside will reject him more violently.
Every day he pretends not to hear what his parents say about him. In fact, he knows that they deliberately let him hear it.
"He can't stay home all day and not go to work."
"I'm so fed up with him."
"Oh my God, the fuse blew again. It's all his fault."
Finally one day, Paul couldn't bear it anymore. He had a big fight with his parents.
"I don't know what happened to me. I couldn't live outside, and I came back here. I thought this was my home. Why did you do this to me."
During the quarrel, both parties lost their minds. His father shouted the words that Paul didn't want to hear the most.
"Get out of here, you monster."
Sadly, his child had a mutation and became a very threatening existence. They hated him and no longer regarded it as their own child. During the quarrel, they called him a monster in front of him.
But why don't they think about it, if the monster in front of them is not your child, would you still dare to call him a monster so confidently?
Paul, who was depressed to the extreme, lost control. He felt something terrible suddenly surged out of his body, and it was beyond his control in an instant. He used his last consciousness to shout, "Get out of here." But he was blocked by his body.
My father took it as a provocation to himself.
"It's you who should leave, boy. This is my house. If you leave this home, I won't have a monster son like you."
This sentence became the last straw that broke the camel's back. Paul could no longer suppress the energy in his body. Or at that moment, he didn't want to suppress it. Tens of thousands of volts of electric current instantly turned his parents into coke.
The electric current ignited the whole house. Paul, who woke up, escaped and began his wandering career.
When the police arrived at the scene, they only found two charred corpses. Paul was of course the first suspect, but how much energy is worth the police's efforts in a case with no parties involved? The district attorney was only symbolic.
We went through the motions of prosecuting, but finally nothing came to an end.
Paul, who is homeless, is still living a very difficult life. He doesn't dare to find any job at all. The electric current in his body has reached an incredible level. A little carelessness will kill people. He doesn't even dare to be among the crowd.
In life, I can only hide in a deserted corner. At midnight, when no one is around, I sneak out and look for food in the trash can.
What happened in this house was an accident. Paul didn't find enough food that day. Paul, who was so hungry that he couldn't bear it, wanted to go into the kitchen to steal some food. But he was discovered by the owner, who was holding a shotgun and was about to shoot.
.Paul panicked, and a powerful electric current was accidentally released, killing the owner of the house.
Paul occupied an empty house, and he would stay here until late at night, so no one found him. But in the end, the house was repossessed by the bank and re-auctioned. Paul once again lost his place to live.
He wanted to leave here, but accidentally discovered the secret of the owner of the house. The guy was a serial killer. Paul accidentally saw him dismembering the body of a girl and disposing of it with chemicals. The angry Paul killed
The head of the household, but he did not dare to call the police because that would involve him too.
The successive deaths of household heads made this house have a very bad reputation. Finally, it gradually fell into disuse. Paul simply used this place as his base camp. He wandered throughout the city. But whenever he was tired, he would go back.
Come to this house to rest. It will be sheltered from the wind and rain after all.
