A mysterious realm descends, and I defy fate in comics.

Chapter 323 Using a strategy of first suppressing then praising

To be precise, Lu Ming didn't actually know what had happened.

Her memory became very confused after her parents died.

Sometimes she felt like the world had gone mad, that everyone was blind to certain monsters, and that only she could see them. Sometimes she felt like she was the one who had gone mad.

Otherwise, why does it seem like she's the only one in the world who can see those monsters?

Was it all just her imagination? Although she was unwilling to admit it, to be honest, this thought always lingered in Lu Ming's mind.

Even when she saw the monster enter her house and almost destroy it, Lu Ming was still wondering who had gone mad.

Lu Ming knew very well what kind of personality she had. She was cowardly, timid, unambitious, and stubborn, but she also knew very well that her parents loved her very much.

So why were her parents the ones who died in the end? Why wasn't it the useless girl who died?

She was never a good child and had no admirable qualities. When she was younger, she heard her mother praising a girl from another family, saying that although that girl had lost both her parents and was an orphan, she was exceptionally good at her studies, had no messy habits, and was very polite, and so on.

What was that lady's last name again...? It seems to be "Jiang".

Lu Ming couldn't remember clearly.

But she remembers very clearly the thoughts that arose in her mind when she heard these praises.

Hearing her parents praising each other, Lu Ming couldn't help but think, "So what if I'm good at studying? My parents are gone anyway, and they won't be able to see how well I'm doing. Unlike me, even if I'm not good at studying, as long as I make a little progress, my parents will praise me."

But when he heard about what she experienced at school—being ridiculed because of her family background and being laughed at because of where she lived—Lu Ming couldn't help but think, so what? She still managed to defeat everyone in every way!

She would be jealous of the other person's dazzling experience, and she would genuinely feel sorry for her when the other person was ridiculed.

Lu Ming was too young at the time and could only vaguely remember the person. She couldn't remember the person's name and had genuinely imagined what it would be like if she knew her. She could brag to her friends that she had a very amazing friend, and she could comfort her while secretly rejoicing when she was sad.

But Lu Ming always looked up at her from afar, never having the chance to get close.

She was jealous that Lu Ming had so many friends, but Lu Ming herself didn't even have the right to be jealous. What right did she have to be jealous?

……

Lu Ming knew from a young age how contradictory she was. Her personality had always been twisted, and she would sometimes hate it. Why was it that only she was like this? Why could others openly talk about liking and disliking?

But it's okay, Lu Ming comforted himself. So what if her personality is so annoying? Anyway, her parents really love her, and they will always love her even if she is such a despicable child.

Then one day, her parents suddenly died.

What happened next was somewhat bewildering and dreamlike for Lu Ming.

Who could have imagined that they would leave before their daughter even reached adulthood? Who could have imagined that the young girl had no experience in handling funeral arrangements and could only be bewildered and wonder if she had gone mad?

Lu Ming didn't dare to be sure he was dreaming until he saw ordinary people fighting monsters and being rescued.

Haha, how could I have such a dream? How could my parents possibly die? How could there be superpowered beings and monsters in this world? How could something like Ultraman fighting monsters happen right under my nose?

If she just tries to wake up from her dream, all of this will surely disappear! As soon as she opens her eyes, she will see her parents sleeping peacefully in the room next to her, and they will ask her why she is crying for no reason. They are alive and well, and they will stop talking about being dead and saying it is bad luck!

Lu Ming suddenly thought of the older sister surnamed Jiang. Did she also think of these things when her parents died?

Would she also wish that it was all just a dream? Would she also wish that when she opened her eyes, all the nightmares would have vanished without a trace? Would she cry?

Lu Ming thought, at least that older sister had left this place and, no matter what, had successfully secured a better future for herself. But what about her? So useless, relying solely on her parents? She didn't even know to hide when she was beaten, just stood there blankly, waiting for someone to come and save her.

Will the sister who saved her also think she's useless? That she's a burden to the other sisters?

When Lu Ming was falling into despair, she heard someone calling her name, and someone was trying to take her away.

Someone told her that if she joined them, she would know the truth about her parents' deaths and have the ability to avenge them. Didn't she want to avenge her parents?

Lu Ming thought.

Lu Ming didn't want to continue being so useless. The little girl, in a daze, grasped the only hand that reached out to her, even though this hand was originally reached out by the murderer who killed her parents, she was completely unaware of it.

In the end, Lu Ming discovered that his dream was getting deeper and deeper, and he was even starting to become a superpowered person, possessing superpowers like controlling water flow, just like in novels and comics.

Since she was already dreaming, she told herself that since she was dreaming, why not be a little reckless and indulge herself?

As a result, Lu Ming's temper worsened. She cursed at everyone she could see, and even skipped classes to find secluded places to practice her superpower of controlling water.

After losing her parents, Lu Ming was completely unable to contact her teachers at school. She didn't know how to handle her parents' funerals and eventually had to rely on the organization that gave her superpowers for help.

Once Lu Ming had mastered her superpowers, she finally received a new mission.

A monster is rebelling, and if Luming can kill her, they can tell her the truth about her parents' deaths.

Lu Ming's first reaction upon seeing the fireball was that she witnessed death.

And her thoughts at the time—

Sometimes, Lu Ming would also want a dramatic death, a death in which she sacrifices herself to protect others, to cover up her mediocre life, as if all the ordinariness of her first half of life could ultimately become a prelude to her death.
