Too Many Reincarnators? I Bring the National Team to the Field - Chapter 54

Long Tianyu raised his voice: “You mean the man who just hit me?!”

Hao Jingye nodded, adding, “He’s also the man who pinned you to the ground with six shots this morning-our Qi Dui.”

Long Tianyu: “.”

Pinned to the ground…

Seriously, there was no need to emphasize that.

He wanted to shout, to challenge that man to a one-on-one fight, to say Sheng An must be blind to fall for him.

But when he thought of the man’s physique, his face, his marksmanship, his aura…

Before he awakened his ability, he had to admit he wasn’t even close to that man. After awakening his ability, he… got beaten twice more and nearly died under the other’s gun.

Long Tianyu couldn’t get a word of bravado out.

His breathing quickened.

Hao Jingye, clutching a folder, continued to smile: “Don’t get agitated. The more you get worked up, the more blood you’ll lose from your neck wound.”

Huh?

Long Tianyu released his hand and looked down at his chest.

It had already been soaked, and now even more blood was flowing out, even pooling on the floor…

Crap!

Is the wound really that bad?!

His vision went black, and he fainted.

Hao Jingye called out, perfectly familiar with the routine, “Emergency!”

Outside.

After leaving the room, Sheng An and Qi Lingwu exchanged a smile.

Sheng An’s eyes crinkled with mirth: “Not bad, Qi Dui. You still know how to work with me-you didn’t really take his life.”

If the kid doesn’t behave, you give him a beating.

Long Tianyu was exactly like a “Long Aotian”-arrogant to the extreme.

But he still retained a rare sincerity, still trusted his teammates. He would split two buns among three people, and when choosing targets, he’d go after what he thought was the destructive national warehouse, not the people close to him.

Just for that, Sheng An was still willing to guide him, not really kill him.

She had shown strong killing intent, yet Qi Lingwu still understood her.

Qi Lingwu remained expressionless, but there was a faint smile in his eyes, his voice low and hoarse: “He’s your future teammate. Since you only intended to teach him a lesson, I naturally didn’t go too far.”

Sheng An raised an eyebrow, half smiling: “Oh? You didn’t go too far?”

Qi Lingwu turned his gaze away a little, a bit guilty: “He was talking nonsense.”

So, he “lost control” a little.

That shot was a bit much; Long Tianyu was probably going to suffer for a while.

Sheng An tilted her head, deliberately trying to catch Qi Lingwu’s expression.

He grew embarrassed and looked away again.

Sheng An stood on tiptoe, reaching out to tug at his head, continuing to look at him. Then she burst out laughing, as if she was laughing at his jealousy or just enjoying the show, her tone full of teasing.

The tips of Qi Lingwu’s ears flushed.

He reached out and gently held Sheng An’s hand.

Neither of their hands was fair and delicate. Sheng An practiced martial arts and had calluses; Qi Lingwu had held a gun since childhood, and his knuckles and palms were similarly rough.

But these calluses, so familiar to them, were a source of comfort.

They had watched each other develop those calluses, even participated in the process-it was a part of each other.

In fact, it had long become a part of themselves.

Fingers tightly interlaced, Qi Lingwu’s hand wrapped firmly around Sheng An’s. Sunlight poured through the corridor window, falling on their profiles. Their shadows, one tall and one short, stretched down the hallway.

Zhang Jialiang didn’t have to wait long.

Sheng An came out with Qi Lingwu, both looking calm. So… did things go smoothly in the hospital room?

He couldn’t help but ask, “Was it smooth?”

Long Tianyu didn’t look like the obedient type; it didn’t seem likely he’d behave.

Sheng An nodded: “Mm, very smooth.”

“Didn’t expect him to be so cooperative,” Zhang Jialiang said, then immediately turned to Sheng An, stars in his eyes. “Sis, please, let me join you guys! I’ll do anything!”

Sheng An still shook her head: “Impossible. In our organization, if you don’t have the matching abilities, it’s a death sentence.”

It wasn’t that she looked down on Zhang Jialiang, but their organization simply wasn’t meant for ordinary people.
Zhang Jialiang still wanted to keep pleading.

Sheng An said, “You said you wanted to see a ghost, and I’ve already brought you to see one. Little brother, isn’t it time to go back?”

Meeting her serious gaze, Zhang Jialiang instinctively fell silent and stopped clinging.

But disappointment was written all over his face.

Sheng An continued, “If you also gain a special ability, you can come find me. At that time, I’ll let you join us.”

Zhang Jialiang: “!!”

He raised his voice in disbelief, “Is there really a chance I could have a special ability too? Why?”

Could it be because he had come into contact with that ‘ghost’?

According to the rules of novels, since he had already encountered one, there was a good chance he could join!

Sheng An said softly, “Do you read novels?”

Zhang Jialiang was stunned, then nodded blankly.

Sheng An said, “In what kind of novel do a large number of people awaken as Superpower Users?”

The phrase ‘special ability’ didn’t sound very special. But ‘Superpower User’!

Zhang Jialiang’s pupils contracted. He stared at Sheng An with wide, incredulous eyes.

Sheng An revealed the news earlier than planned.

Zhang Jialiang suppressed his anxiety, swallowed hard, and after a while finally said, “Thank you, I’ll go back now.”

The Apocalypse is coming!

If that’s the case, what he wanted most now was to go home, stay with his family, and protect them…

Zhang Jialiang hurried away.

Sheng An smiled.

But in the next moment, Zhang Jialiang ran back, looking at her, panting, “If I become a Superpower User, can I really join you and fight alongside you in the Apocalypse?”

Sheng An was slightly taken aback, then nodded, “Of course you can.”

Zhang Jialiang smiled with satisfaction, waved, and ran off with light steps, almost skipping.

After he left,

Sheng An smiled, her eyes curving, “Our college students are a bit odd, their mental state is worrying, but-they’re all very cute guys.”

Qi Lingwu: “That’s good.”

Yes, it’s good.

Sheng An and Qi Lingwu went to the cafeteria for dinner.

As soon as they stepped into the cafeteria, they heard Jiang Yu call out, “Sister Sheng, Qi Dui, over here, sit here!”

Sheng An glanced around.

Except for Li Wanyun, who was still at sea, Long Tianyu in the infirmary, and Hao Jingye, all of Group B was present.

Jiang Yu, Song Linwei, Li Xin, Zhang Kun, Ke Jiaxue.

Wan Yuan and Yu Feng from Team 0 were also there.

With her hands in her pockets, she strolled over.

“You all seem to be in good spirits today?” Sheng An raised an eyebrow.

This was mainly directed at Jiang Yu and Li Xin.

The two had been tormented by ‘farming’ and ‘studying’ so much that every time they met, they looked like ghosts drifting by. But today, their spirits were high.

Jiang Yu said excitedly, “Our Group B has three more Superpower Users now, we’ve suddenly caught up with Group A, how could we not be happy?

“Besides, Jiaxue and I get along really well, like best friends who haven’t seen each other in years.

“Li Xin is about to start learning combat from Yu Feng. Yu Feng just showed off a move – so cool.”

Li Xin nodded vigorously.

Clearly, their good mood was thanks to their teammates.

Before, it was just the two of them, both looking miserable, sighing whenever they met.

Now, with so many ‘newcomers,’ the atmosphere was lively.

Yu Feng cleared his throat and pressed his hand down, “Keep it low-key, low-key. In front of Sister Sheng and Qi Dui, I wouldn’t dare call myself cool.”

Jiang Yu puffed out her chest proudly, “Of course, Sister Sheng-”

“Sister Sheng is number one in the world!” Ke Jiaxue picked up a glass of water, handed it to Sheng An, and smiled sweetly, “Sister Sheng, have some water. I saved this just for you.”

Sheng An raised an eyebrow.

She reached out to take it, and patted Ke Jiaxue’s short hair, “Good girl.”

Jiang Yu: “???”

Whoa, this girl is competing for favor!

This isn’t a bestie, this is a rival in disguise!
