Too Many Reincarnators? I Bring the National Team to the Field - Chapter 75

Everyone was stunned.

Under Sheng An’s gaze, they nodded obediently.

Long Tianyu was about to ask why when Hao Jingye’s communicator lit up.

He glanced down and immediately said, “Sister Sheng, we found out-Wu Buyu exposed his father’s affair and was kicked out.”

Before leaving, Sheng An had already ordered an investigation.

This guy rarely goes out. If he’s out today, there must be a reason.

Hearing this, Sheng An smiled. “Then this is our best opportunity.”

The Wu Family wants to kick him out.

If they don’t go pick him up, would that make sense?

Long Tianyu and Li Wanyun frowned at the same time.

What does that mean?

Sheng An wants to take a peaceful approach with Wu Buyu?

Almost instinctively, the same thought flashed through both their minds-Why?!

Then, they exchanged a glance and their emotions calmed down.

Even if Sheng An wants to recruit him peacefully, that freak might not agree…

From what they’ve seen, he really hates interacting with people.

How could he possibly agree to join?

And as long as Wu Buyu resists, Sheng An will definitely deal with him!

That would be a good show to watch.

The two of them rubbed their hands together, faces full of anticipation.

Jiang Yu didn’t know Wu Buyu in her previous life, and Li Xin, Ke Jiaxue, and the others had no memories of their past lives. They felt no aversion toward Wu Buyu, only curiosity.

Jiang Yu watched the surveillance feed on the screen and muttered:

“This guy seems really quiet, looks pretty well-behaved, just way too withdrawn-he won’t even lift his head when he walks.”

Low-key, reserved, and quiet seemed to be written all over Wu Buyu.

Li Xin nodded in agreement. “He really doesn’t look scary at all. Isn’t he just socially anxious? What’s there to be afraid of?”

Social anxiety-a pretty common personality trait.

Long Tianyu and Li Wanyun looked at him expressionlessly.

Li Wanyun: “You didn’t think that way in your last life.”

Long Tianyu: “Social anxiety? More like a social terrorist.”

Hao Jingye handed the tablet to Sheng An again. “Here’s his previous travel patterns. His destination is a temple in the suburbs. Judging by the direction, just like before, he’s heading to the temple again today…”

Sheng An nodded and took the tablet to check.

Wu Buyu wandered outside for a long time.

He rarely went out, and almost never to crowded places like this.

But he couldn’t stay in the safety of home anymore.

He could only roam.

“Do I have to survive in the wilderness?” Wu Buyu muttered.

He had wings. He could live in the wild, even live quite well.

“No, living in the wilderness is too boring. If there’s no cell signal, that’s even worse-no fun at all…” He shook his head, rejecting the idea.

Wu Buyu kept walking forward.

He looked very quiet, his clothes neat and tidy, but his alternative hairstyle really affected people’s impression of him. He always kept his head down, messy hair covering his eyes, making people instinctively keep their distance.

He was heading out of the city.

He didn’t even choose any transportation.

But even avoiding people, he still brushed past some.

His steps faltered slightly.

Almost instinctively, he changed direction and followed a man into a dilapidated old building.

He looked up at it.

Then, he took out his phone and dialed the police.

“Hello, I want to report a kidnapping. The address is-” Wu Buyu reported mechanically.

He hung up.

He muttered softly, “Helping others, an anonymous hero-I really am such a good person.”

After saying that, he walked away lightly.

He thought no one knew.

However-

In a car in the distance, Sheng An and her group silently watched the scene unfold.

Long Tianyu and Li Wanyun’s faces were full of indignation.

Anonymous hero? Good person?

Yeah, right-

They really wanted to call him out and tell him to get lost.

Wu Buyu walked all the way to the temple in the suburbs.

This temple wasn’t very popular; only on New Year’s Eve, the first month of the lunar year, and holidays did it get crowded. Now it was a workday, and the temple was under renovation, the main gate tightly closed, so naturally, there were no visitors.

It felt like the whole mountain was deserted.

The main gate was closed, but Wu Buyu, familiar with the place, circled to the back and climbed in.

This renovation was a major project. Many halls were closed, scaffolding erected high, but for some unknown reason, construction had already stopped.
There wasn’t a single worker in the entire temple, which gave Wu Buyu a strong sense of security.

A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, his expression grew relaxed, and his chin lifted slightly, revealing his brows and eyes.

Clearly, the environment made him relax and dare to let his guard down.

He casually entered a hall with its doors open. Inside, there seemed to be a Vajra Buddha enshrined. The Buddha sat on a pedestal, gleaming with golden light. The merit box and the prayer mat were set rather far from the statue.

For some reason, Wu Buyu felt that the Vajra Buddha and the huge pedestal were a bit… mismatched in size?

Maybe it was because the temple was still under renovation.

Wu Buyu didn’t think much of it.

He dragged the prayer mat over and sat down, looking up at the Buddha statue, silent for a long while.

Social anxiety, not fond of talking?

Yet in the next moment, he spoke-

“I’m suffocating! I’ve been holding back from speaking every day, and I’m about to get sick from it. But I really don’t dare to talk, because if I open my mouth, I’ll spill that my dad is cheating with his secretary, Wu Shanyu is actually my mom and Uncle Wang’s child, Mrs. Li stole my mom’s bird’s nest, Wu Shanyu’s homework is all paid for, Uncle Zhao next door gambled away all his money but lied to his wife about investing, Little Xing downstairs is two-timing, Grandpa Xu at the gate who loves playing chess has a murder on his hands, the honest bun shop owner outside is actually black-hearted, and the beauty salon my mom loves going to gossips behind her back about how dumb and rich she is…”

He rattled off gossip for half an hour without stopping.

Wu Buyu pressed his dry lips together, exhaled, his eyes sparkling like a galaxy as he looked at the Vajra Buddha:

“Tell me, why did I grow wings and turn into a birdman?”

Naturally, there was no answer.

He continued, “I’ve been different since I was a kid. Heaven gave me a strange ability, perfect for being a reporter, but my dad changed my college major… Well, whatever, if I can’t hold back and say too much, I’ll get beaten to death by others.”

“But now, maybe I don’t have to be afraid? I have wings, I can run away.”

“Why did I suddenly grow wings? Was I a bird in my past life? So now I’ve become a birdman? Hahaha, even if I was a bird, I should be a bird immortal, right? Otherwise, how could I still have wings after reincarnation?”

“I think my wings are pretty cool, but I don’t dare let anyone see them.”

Wu Buyu revealed his wings-large, black wings sprouted from his back, tearing his clothes apart.

He sucked in a breath. “Crap, my clothes are ruined. I’m so broke right now, how can I afford new ones?”

He hugged his wings, muttering, “Such cool wings, it’s a shame no one can admire them. Oh well, it’d be embarrassing if people saw them anyway, better to enjoy them myself.”

Wu Buyu admired himself for a while.

His stomach started to growl.

He wrapped his wings around himself, pitifully: “If I’d known, I wouldn’t have exposed my dad’s affair. Now I’ve got nowhere to go. If I go somewhere crowded, I’ll definitely suffocate!”

When there are people around, he always keeps his head down, afraid to speak.

But now, with no one here, Wu Buyu’s mouth wouldn’t stop, saying whatever came to mind.

“Maybe I’ll just live here. As for money… I’ll just take a bit from the merit box. After all, I was a bird immortal in my past life, so it’s mine to take.”

As he spoke, he raised his hand, and the merit box flew over. His hand turned into a sharp claw, tearing open the box.

But inside, there was nothing.

Wu Buyu was furious: “Damn it, where’s the money?!”

He angrily threw the wooden board to the ground, his mouth turning into a beak, and instinctively wanted to peck at it.

“Wait, if someone saw me pecking wood with my mouth, wouldn’t they die laughing?” Wu Buyu muttered. “This look is way too ugly. I really wish I only had wings.”

Then he laughed: “But I’m the only one here, no one will see.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he pecked at the wooden board with his beak.

“Tap tap-”

His sharp beak moved so fast it was almost a blur, and Wu Buyu’s brows relaxed.

His mouth had long wanted to peck at something, but human shame kept his bird instincts in check. Now, with only himself here, Wu Buyu let loose and felt utterly happy.

Just then, he suddenly noticed an apple under the altar.

Huh?

Wu Buyu’s eyes lit up.

His feet were now claws; he hurried over, and his beak went straight for the apple. But in the next instant-

Wu Buyu jerked his head up, his expression turning serious, his gaze sharp-

“Who?!”
