Time flies, and this child grew up. His name is Norman Wu On Ming, meaning peace and wisdom. As he matured, his extraordinary strength became increasingly uncontrollable. As an infant, his mother noticed his astonishing grip strength. At his first birthday ritual, Norman actually snapped a calligraphy brush in half. In kindergarten, his homeroom teacher witnessed him single-handedly moving objects heavier than his own body weight. Combined with his hyperactivity, the teacher suspected ADHD and urged his parents to seek evaluation. Ultimately, all tests revealed no abnormalities.
Once in elementary school, when classmates teased him, Norman struck one student so hard it resulted in a fracture, requiring a parent-teacher meeting. To prove his extraordinary strength was hereditary, his father publicly demonstrated moving heavy objects in the office single-handedly, thereby proving he hadn't lied. Though startled, the teacher could not tolerate violence. Since Norman was under ten, the police couldn't arrest him, but his parents had to explain the situation to authorities to rule out domestic issues. After this, no one dared bully Norman, knowing provoking him could lead to severe injury or disability. Yet he had few friends. his heart had frozen over after being betrayed by a friend. That person had always pretended to be kind but secretly looked down on him. Once, when mocked, Norman snapped: “Ye Zihua, you might as well die! You're nothing but a mistake your parents made in a moment of folly!” After that, the two became sworn enemies. Norman, overcome with rage, lost control of his superhuman strength again, this time shoving Ye Zihua down the stairs. Norman's father punished him, and the Ye family apologized to the Wu family for failing to raise their son properly. Both families suffered losses this time. Norman now had a criminal record, and the Social Welfare Department decided to intervene. The two families agreed to settle privately. Ye Zihua was forced to transfer schools and undergo psychological therapy. Norman gradually became frightening. He refused to make any friends, trusting only two people: the siblings Dario Mong Mo Yan and Demetria Mong Mo Lei. Having grown up together since childhood, the Mong siblings were often left in the care of the Wu family when their parents couldn't take them out (leaving children home alone was illegal). They frequently played with Norman. Demetria harbored a secret crush on him, but Norman felt nothing for her.
By middle school, Norman had no friends whatsoever. He was utterly indifferent to socializing, excelling only in humanities subjects while struggling with math. That changed in his fourth year of middle school when a light illuminated Norman's heart—that light was Cordelia Pong Yin-Bing. They met during an inter-school event. In truth, Norman had experienced multiple romantic relationships, all ending in failure. His parents opposed early romance, and Norman, driven by an obsession with superior lineage, remained loyal to his ancestors' family precepts. He rejected his close friend Demetria's confession because Dario was a carrier of Fragile X Syndrome, and Demetria might also carry it. He learned this by overhearing Mong's parents' conversation. Furthermore, many girls were drawn to his looks and wealth. Despite Norman's efforts to keep a low profile, he once invited school friends to his home for a birthday party. He lived in a private residential complex with a fully paid-off mortgage. The most gossip-hungry classmates spread rumors about his family background, even fabricating lies.
The most outrageous rumor was that his father had cheated. The truth was that his father had gone to the bus stop to pick up his second aunt, while his second uncle was delayed that day. That photo was secretly taken. Enraged, Norman lost control of his superhuman strength and struck the rumor-monger in a vital spot. The school decided to report the incident to the police, suspending Norman. The rumor-monger was expelled for smoking and fighting on campus. Norman's spirits plummeted. Believing his disciplinary record would bar him from university, he shut himself in his room, losing all motivation for life and avoiding romance. Had the prophecy been wrong?
Suddenly, his younger brother, Nathan Wu On Chit, knocked on the door. Worried, he said, “Brother, I'm just a third-year middle school student. I have no right to criticize you, but giving up on yourself won't solve anything...” Norman retorted, “I only fought back against the rumor-monger! Why should I be suspended? He was clearly in the wrong! The moment he gets out of the hospital, I'm going to suck his blood!” Nathan shouted angrily: “Demons can't just suck anyone's blood! This is a time of peace!” Unexpectedly, the doorbell rang. Nathan opened the door and asked, “Who are you?” It was Cordelia. Norman's parents mistook her for a villain and tried to chase her away. Cordelia said, "Uncle, Auntie, is Norman home? I'm his friend! I need to see him. We've known each other since junior high." Cordelia showed them proof, and only then did Norman's parents believe her.
So, Norman's parents took Cordelia to his room. Cordelia knocked on the door and said gently, “Norman, being suspended isn't the same as being expelled. Your classmates miss you too, and your two best friends are here.” Demetria also urged Norman not to give up on himself. Norman clutched the purple necklace, believing those four restless souls were guiding lights for his path ahead. He opened the door and said, “Demetria, Cordelia, I understand!” Norman finally stopped giving up on himself. Gripping the necklace tightly, he silently vowed: 'Whether you're a curse or a guiding light, I will uncover the truth behind all this.'
