Since the lightning strike, Li Tong's life had never returned to its previous calm. Although he tried to appear as normal as usual, the fear and confusion lurking in his heart were like shadows he couldn’t shake off.

One morning, Li Tong got up as usual. His mother was busy in the kitchen, and his father was sitting on the sofa watching TV. Li Tong tried his best to act normally, but his heart was filled with doubts and unease because his sensitivity to electricity had been growing stronger recently.

After breakfast, Li Tong prepared to head out and start his day. But as he approached his scooter, a sudden, inexplicable fear rose within him. He knew that he had already experienced unusual phenomena when dealing with electricity, and today, he would have to face it again.

He tried to take a deep breath to calm his nerves, but as he started the scooter, that sense of fear returned. The engine hummed, as if responding to his inner turmoil. Li Tong could almost feel the paths of the electric currents flowing through the scooter, as if each current was connected to his nerves.

"What on earth is happening?" Li Tong muttered to himself. He didn’t understand why he was so sensitive to electricity or where this ability came from. The unknown frightened him; he feared that he might lose control and even hurt the people around him.

Li Tong didn’t dare tell his family about these changes, worried that they would be concerned for him—especially his father, whose health was already poor. Adding these issues might only worsen his condition. So, he chose silence, burying everything deep inside.

Despite his fear, Li Tong decided to try to control his ability. He realized that continuing to avoid the issue would only make things worse. He had to face these changes and try to understand and master them.

One night, after delivering his last order, Li Tong decided to conduct some experiments at home. He gathered a few electrical appliances, including a table lamp, an old phone, and a damaged charging cable. He placed them on the table, took a deep breath, and began to attempt to connect with the electric currents.

First, he turned on the lamp and then gently placed his hand on the power cord. He closed his eyes, focused his attention, and tried to sense the flow of electricity. After a few seconds, he felt a weak current flow from the cord into his fingers, then gradually spread throughout his body.

The sensation wasn’t new, but this time, Li Tong tried to control the flow of the current. He used his mind to guide it, concentrating the energy in his palm, then attempted to direct the current to flow between his fingers. At first, his attempts were unsuccessful—the current moved haphazardly through his hand, without any order. Li Tong could feel the energy, but he couldn’t fully control it.

After several attempts, Li Tong began to feel frustrated. He knew he had to be patient, but each time the current went out of control, he felt a sense of powerlessness, as if he were being manipulated by an invisible force rather than controlling it.

He began to try simpler tasks, such as lighting the lamp with the current. Li Tong focused his attention, pointed his fingers at the bulb, and tried to channel the current directly into the filament. He felt the current in his fingers growing stronger, but the bulb only flickered slightly before going dark again.

Li Tong frowned and concentrated once more. This time, he pressed his fingers against the base of the bulb, feeling the pulse of the current, trying to guide it into the filament. Finally, after some effort, the bulb emitted a faint glow. Although the light was weak, Li Tong felt a surge of joy, as if he had found a way to control the current.

However, his joy was quickly replaced by new doubts. Although he could light the bulb, the current was still unstable—the light flickered, sometimes bright, sometimes dim. Li Tong realized that it would take more time and effort to fully master this power.

As his ability gradually manifested, Li Tong began searching the internet for information about electricity and superpowers. He hoped to find some explanations that would help him understand why he had this power. However, after hours of searching, he found nothing.

Most of the information was either about basic electrical knowledge or fictional superpowers from science fiction novels—none of it could explain Li Tong's situation. He grew increasingly frustrated, feeling as though he were trapped in an unsolvable mystery.

This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.

He tried posting on forums about supernatural phenomena, describing his experiences, but the responses were either mockery accusing him of making things up or meaningless speculation. Li Tong realized that the internet might not provide the answers he needed and might only add to his confusion.

But he wasn’t willing to give up. Despite not finding a clear explanation, he continued to study more about electricity in hopes of understanding the phenomena he had experienced. He bought some electrical manuals, studying the basics of current, magnetic fields, and electrical conductivity, hoping that scientific methods would provide a breakthrough.

However, reality proved to be harsh. Li Tong soon realized that although his understanding of electricity had deepened, it didn’t help him gain full control over the mysterious power. Whenever he tried to explain his experiences with theory, he encountered contradictions and problems that couldn’t be explained.

This sense of defeat left Li Tong feeling incredibly lonely. He realized that he might be the only one going through this, with no one who could truly understand his confusion and fear.

To rule out any health issues, Li Tong decided to go to the hospital for a thorough checkup. He feared that this power might be a sign of some illness or a side effect of the lightning strike.

At the hospital, Li Tong met with a familiar doctor—Dr. Zhang, who had treated Li Tong’s father before and cared deeply about their family. Dr. Zhang was surprised to see Li Tong.

“Li Tong, what brings you here? Are you feeling unwell?” Dr. Zhang asked with concern.

Li Tong forced a smile, trying to hide his nervousness. “Dr. Zhang, I’ve been feeling a bit off lately and wanted to get a checkup.”

“Hmm, what exactly is going on? I’ll do a preliminary examination and see what further tests might be needed,” Dr. Zhang said as he began a routine physical examination for Li Tong.

During the checkup, Li Tong felt uneasy but tried to remain calm. The results showed that all of Li Tong’s indicators were within the normal range, with no obvious abnormalities. Dr. Zhang frowned, seeming a bit puzzled.

“From the tests we’ve done so far, you’re in good health. There’s nothing wrong that I can see. Have you been under a lot of stress lately?” Dr. Zhang asked.

Li Tong hesitated, unsure of how to respond. He couldn’t exactly tell the doctor about his potential superpowers, so he vaguely replied, “Maybe. Work has been busy, and I haven’t been sleeping well.”

Dr. Zhang nodded. “In that case, I suggest you undergo a few more tests. If those also come back normal, it’s probably stress-related. Make sure to rest more and try to relax; you should feel better.”

Li Tong nodded silently and underwent a few more detailed tests, but the results were still normal. In the end, Li Tong left the hospital with more confusion and doubt. He knew that his health was fine, but that didn’t explain the mysterious power he possessed.

Despite not being able to fully control his ability, Li Tong cautiously began to use it in his daily life. He realized that while this power was mysterious, it could be convenient and even solve some problems that were otherwise difficult to handle.

Once, the television at home suddenly broke, the screen going completely black and unresponsive to the remote. His father was anxious, pacing around, but Li Tong had an idea—he decided to try using his ability to fix it.

Li Tong approached the TV, with his father watching, skeptical. “Ah Tong, this TV is really broken, isn’t it? Should we call a repairman?”

Li Tong smiled slightly and replied, “Dad, let me give it a try first. Maybe it’s just a wiring issue.”

He reached out and touched the power cord behind the TV, closed his eyes, and focused on sensing the flow of electricity. After a moment, he felt a warm current flow from his fingers into the TV, as if he could communicate directly with the electronic components.

A few seconds later, the TV suddenly made a “pop” sound, and the screen lit up, restoring the picture. His father was stunned for a moment, then smiled with relief. “I didn’t think you could do it. You’ve got some talent!”

Li Tong secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although he didn’t fully understand how he had done it, at least it proved that his ability could be useful in certain situations.

Similar situations occurred with other appliances at home. His mother’s old electric fan had been making a lot of noise, and Li Tong fixed it using the same method. The microwave in the kitchen had stopped working once, but Li Tong managed to get it running again by channeling the current. These small successes made Li Tong gradually realize that while he didn’t fully understand the power, it could indeed make life easier.

However, despite being able to use his ability to solve minor problems, Li Tong couldn’t shake the deep fear and confusion that plagued him. He feared that the power might go out of control and harm the people around him.

Late at night, Li Tong often lay in bed, contemplating his future. He knew that his life was no longer peaceful, and this change might bring new opportunities, but it could also hide great dangers.

He began to consider whether he should continue exploring his ability and even try to find others like him. Perhaps they could help him solve the mystery and find a way to control the power. But at the same time, he feared going too far and uncover secrets that should remain hidden.**

Regardless, Li Tong knew that he had already embarked on a path completely different from his past. This path would lead him into an unknown world, full of challenges and opportunities. He could only keep moving forward, searching for answers and facing whatever uncertainties might come his way.

That night, Li Tong once again tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. He didn’t know what tomorrow would bring or how his abilities would evolve. But he understood one thing: whatever lay ahead, he had to be ready to face the upcoming twists of fate.
