Too Many Reincarnators? I Bring the National Team to the Field - Chapter 109

Chapter 109

The entire room seemed to fall silent in an instant.

Long Tianyu’s mouth hung wide open, and his bulging eyes blinked stiffly, his face filled with shock and disbelief.

Refusing to give up, he asked, “Are you… a stutterer?”

He hoped for a denial.

Zhuang Fan was embarrassed to the extreme. He closed his eyes, his lips pressed into a thin line, and remained silent. He lay stiffly on the floor, looking even more like a “corpse” than Wu Buyu once had.

Zhuang Fan had been a stutterer since childhood.

He didn’t intentionally try to hide it, but it was much easier for him to pop words out one by one, and he had grown used to it.

Over time, aside from having no friends and being disliked for being too arrogant, it hadn’t really affected his life.

Just now, Ji Yani had suddenly grabbed him and started running. His mind had gone blank, and in a moment of losing control, his stuttering had been exposed.

Zhuang Fan remained rigid, lying flat on the ground with his eyes tightly shut, not moving an inch.

Long Tianyu: “…”

This reaction said everything.

A Verbal Spell Ability User, a guy who relied on his mouth to use his Supernatural Ability…

Was a stutterer!

This was freaking comparable to a hair-based Superpower User going bald!

As expected, the moment he opened his mouth, the “lethality” was immense-it was just that this lethality was completely different from what they had imagined.

Everyone present was stunned.

Long Tianyu raised his voice. “How is that possible?! It wasn’t in his resume! How could no one know he’s a stutterer?!”

If anyone had known he was a stutterer, it would have been in his file.

This directly affected his Supernatural Ability.

Hao Jingye fell into silence. After a long while, he murmured, “The file says this person is taciturn. The background check said he has no friends, is aloof, and doesn’t like talking to people… It’s very likely no one noticed.”

Long Tianyu still couldn’t believe it and shook his head violently. “Impossible, his work would always-”

His voice cut off abruptly.

Zhuang Fan was a Web Novelist.

His job didn’t require speaking.

Looking at him now, his face was flushed red as he lay stiffly on the ground, his hands clenched into fists. Embarrassment was practically written all over him.

Sheng An summarized, “A stutterer with Social Anxiety.”

Wu Buyu’s Social Anxiety was fake.

But now Zhuang Fan had arrived, and his Social Anxiety was the real deal.

Everyone’s breath hitched.

Hao Jingye turned into a screaming chicken again. “Long Tianyu! I’m going to kill you-”

Just then, Gu Qiansheng and Li Wanyun returned.

Long Tianyu used Flash to appear behind the two of them, pointing at Li Wanyun. “It was her! She’s the one who wanted Zhuang Fan! I was just carrying out the arrangements, really!”

Li Wanyun: “??”

What happened?

Sheng An and Qi Lingwu looked over.

Out of a sense of impending danger, Li Wanyun swallowed hard. “No, I just thought a Verbal Spell Ability User was quite special. Long Tianyu was the one who snatched him away. I’m innocent.”

Pausing, she asked tentatively, “What’s wrong?”

Hao Jingye: “…”

He clutched his chest, his breathing rapid.

If Li Xin was a Crouching Dragon, then Jiang Yu was a Young Phoenix.

If Li Xin and Jiang Yu were Crouching Dragons, then Li Wanyun and Long Tianyu were Young Phoenixes!

The members of their team were truly unreliable!

How could he have trusted them?!

Hao Jingye said word by word, “From now on, no matter what Superpower User joins the Apocalypse Special Affairs Department, no one is allowed to pick them up except for me, Sister Sheng, and Qi Dui.”

He gave a slight smile. “Is that clear?”

Long Tianyu shrunk his neck. “Crystal clear.”

Li Wanyun instinctively replied, “Understood.”

The room fell silent once more.

Hao Jingye was in despair.

Since the National Announcement Briefing, only four people had contacted the state. These four were likely the only ones who had slipped through the net. Would they have a chance to turn things around in the future?

Would they have to wait until the massive awakening of Superpower Users after the apocalypse?

However, it would take a significant amount of time to catch up to the strength of those who had awakened early.

Hao Jingye was on the verge of a breakdown.

Sheng An let out a soft sigh.

She walked over, and Qi Lingwu pulled the man up from the floor.

Zhuang Fan refused to open his eyes.

Sheng An patted his shoulder. “It’s fine. There aren’t many normal people in our group anyway. Welcome to Group B of the Apocalypse Special Affairs Department. From now on, you’re one of us. I hope you can get along well with your teammates.”

Zhuang Fan’s eyelids flickered.

Sheng An continued, “We have a Mutant in our group who has a Psychic Ability: Mind Reading. If you don’t want to talk, you can just stand next to him.”

Zhuang Fan snapped his eyes open.

Sheng An gave a small smile. “So, I look forward to working with you.”
Zhuang Fan remained silent for a moment before letting out a sound: “Mm.”

His expressionless face, combined with a voice that sounded cold due to his awkwardness, and those eyes that didn’t dare to meet hers…

It had to be said, he looked arrogant no matter how one sliced it.

Hao Jingye took a deep breath and looked at Sheng An with worship in his eyes. “Sister Sheng, your mental fortitude is truly powerful.”

He felt like strangling Long Tianyu and Li Wanyun, yet Sheng An could calmly converse with Zhuang Fan.

Even if the other party only ever replied with-“Mm.”

Sheng An smiled slightly. “After all, it is the Verbal Spell Ability, and his power doesn’t seem weak at all. It might play a huge role in combat. A Supernatural Ability like Verbal Spell is destined to have many restrictions; it’s just a stutter…”

Hao Jingye nodded repeatedly.

That made sense. Sister Sheng saw things clearly as always.

You win some, you lose some. His mindset was still too fragile; he had to learn from Sister Sheng and strive to-

Sheng An’s tone shifted as she said expressionlessly, “When you take him for registration and examination, mobilize the relevant professional doctors. Do everything in your power to cure his stutter!”

Hao Jingye: “…”

-Fine, as expected, no one could smilingly accept the fact that a Verbal Spell Ability User was a stutterer.

The Prophecy Superpower User was a three-year-old.

The Verbal Spell Ability User was a stutterer.

What kind of mess was this!

Behind them, Li Wanyun finally figured out what had happened.

Li Wanyun blinked, then immediately turned to look at Long Tianyu. “Are you sick? Even Gu Qiansheng noticed something was wrong, yet you still snatched him away!”

What was the best way to ease one’s pain?

Shifting the blame.

Long Tianyu: “?”

He jumped up on the spot. “Hey, what are you talking about? I didn’t like this guy from the start. I wanted that hair Superpower User! You were the one who said strength comes first and insisted on choosing him!”

Li Wanyun: “You’re the one who used Flash to snatch him.”

Long Tianyu: “You’re the one who thought he was amazing.”

The two began to argue, and as they argued, they started fighting.

Gu Qiansheng looked away expressionlessly.

-His heart was tired; he didn’t want to speak.

Could Group B have any normal people?

Doomsday countdown: 3 days.

When Wu Buyu rushed back from the neighboring province, Sheng An and the others were eating breakfast.

He appeared silently, his wings vibrating at the cafeteria entrance before vanishing, leaving only two large holes in his clothes. His custom-made clothes featured magnetic zippers; with a slight movement, the large holes sealed shut, and the draft on his back disappeared.

Wu Buyu walked in, satisfied.

When the staff saw him, they immediately brought out a fresh serving of breakfast.

He noticed an extra person at the table-a silent young man-and, of course, that thick-skinned old man.

Sheng An asked the old man, “How is Qin Xuan?”

Old Man Qin ate without looking up, his voice muffled. “Still sleeping. The doctor said his Supernatural Ability was severely overdrawn and he needs more rest. I’ll bring him food later, so serve some more.”

A bruised and swollen Long Tianyu was speechless. “You’re just an ordinary old man, how can you eat more than a Superpower User?”

Old Man Qin didn’t care and continued eating.

Song Linwei said, “The portraits are almost done and are undergoing final processing. Once they’re completely finished, they’ll be sent to Team Leader Sheng and Assistant Hao.”

Sheng An nodded in satisfaction.

She looked at Zhuang Fan again. “Are you adjusting well?”

As the Boss of this group, she had to manage everyone.

As usual, upon hearing Sheng An’s voice and confirming she was speaking to him, Zhuang Fan lowered his eyes expressionlessly. After a long while, he said, “Mm.”

Long Tianyu: I really want to hit him.

Li Wanyun: I really want to hit him and Long Tianyu.

Wu Buyu leaned over to Zhuang Fan’s side and poked his head out-

“He says he’s adjusting very well. The lodging is good, the food is good, and the sleep is good. Sister Sheng is also very good to him. He really wants to use more words to answer, but he’s afraid of stuttering. If he starts tripping over his words, it’ll take forever and waste everyone’s time. Plus, there are so many people now, and the more people there are, the less he wants to talk.

“Forget it, better not speak. Then he says, no, I should speak; at least I need to show my attitude. Oh dear, what should I say? Is there a way to show my attitude in just three words?

“Maybe he should write it down for everyone to see; he types very fast. No, that won’t work. That guy named Long will definitely mock him. Besides, everyone is eating; it would be weird if he pulled out a keyboard to type…

“To speak or not to speak, to write or not to write, that is the question. He’ll just agonize over it for a while longer.”

Wu Buyu finished the entire explanation in one breath, without a single stutter.

Behind Zhuang Fan’s cold “Mm” lay two hundred words.
