Too Many Reincarnators? I Bring the National Team to the Field - Chapter 76

Wu Buyu’s tone was sharp, laced with a hint of panic.

He had clearly confirmed there was someone there!

His gaze locked onto the Vajra Buddha statue, and Wu Buyu hesitated for a moment.

But in the very next second-

The “Vajra Buddha statue” moved.

First, its previously motionless eyes blinked. Then, its palms, pressed together in prayer, opened; the crossed legs began to stretch out, and the body, starting from the arms, gradually resumed a human form.

A real-life transformation trick.

Li Xin exclaimed in surprise, “Damn, how did you spot me?”

He rolled his neck, blinking eyes that hadn’t yet lost their metallic sheen:

“You sure talk a lot. You look like a social phobic, but you’re so chatty? And how do you know so many secrets? What’s your special ability?”

A barrage of questions, but Wu Buyu didn’t answer.

He stared fixedly at Li Xin, killing intent in his eyes.

His sharp claws twitched as he spoke hoarsely: “Who are you? Why are you hiding here, eavesdropping on me?”

He made up his mind.

He was going to kill this man!

No matter if he was human or something else-once he was dead, no one would know what happened today!

There were only the two of them present.

If he killed him, the secret would stay safe!

Wu Buyu’s wings fluttered slightly, his claws growing even sharper.

He lunged forward suddenly.

Li Xin curled his lips. “What do you mean eavesdropping? We were listening fair and square.”

Wu Buyu: “?”

We…?

He froze, body stiff in midair, sharp eyes flickering with confusion and bewilderment.

Then-

One head, two heads, three heads-a whole row of heads poked out from behind the Buddha statue…

Hao Jingye: “Hi.”

Jiang Yu, Long Tianyu, Li Wanyun, Song Linwei, Wan Yuan, Yu Feng, Ke Jiaxue, Zhang Kun: “Hello.”

Nine heads popped out from both sides of the Buddha statue.

Finally, Sheng An led Qi Lingwu around from behind, smiling faintly: “We finally meet, Wu Buyu.”

The once quiet hall seemed to become crowded in an instant.

People.

So many people.

So he hadn’t been alone just now…

Instead, he’d been alone, with an audience…

“Thud-”

Maintaining his pouncing posture, Wu Buyu toppled headfirst to the ground.

He lifted his head, clinging to one last hope: “How much did you all hear?”

Sheng An smiled slightly: “Everything.”

Wu Buyu: “……” Shattered.

His wings spread feebly, like a dead bird.

Introverted for over twenty years, and the one time he let loose-

He got more than a dozen spectators.

Li Xin was bewildered: “Why isn’t he moving?”

That’s odd. Shouldn’t he say or do something?

Jiang Yu and the others were also curious. They circled around from behind, crowding around Wu Buyu, inspecting him. It was their first time seeing a Mutant with wings-everyone was intrigued.

Sheng An: “He’s dead.”

Li Xin: “?”

He looked utterly confused.

Dead? But he’s still breathing.

Hao Jingye quietly added: “Social death is still death.”

Long Tianyu burst out laughing, unable to hold back his ridicule:

“Hahaha, who’d have thought the Apocalypse’s top paparazzo was like this! What introvert? More like secretly flamboyant, gossips behind everyone’s back, knows all the dirt, and so self-obsessed. Hahahaha! He even used his beak to peck at the floorboards! I’m dying!”

Li Wanyun was laughing too.

She was even more ruthless. Pulling out her phone, she grinned: “Don’t worry, Sheng An, I recorded everything just now. If he dares act up in the future, we can play it on loop for him, hahahaha!”

Wu Buyu lifted his head.

His beak and claws had already retracted, the wings disappeared, and messy hair covered his brow, hiding his expression.

But everyone could see his pale face and hear his emotionless voice-

“I like warm places. When you bury me, please pick a ginkgo tree. Don’t bother with a gravestone, I don’t like my current name. Sorry for the trouble, thank you.”

With that, he lowered his head and moved no more.

Jiang Yu was laughing so hard she was wheezing.

Sheng An was laughing too, leaning on the smiling Qi Lingwu, her voice tinged with gentle amusement:

“By now, you must realize there aren’t many normal people here. Most are just like you-awakened ahead of time. So, we’re here to invite you to join us.”

No response.

Wu Buyu lay on the ground, motionless, the two holes his wings had poked in his shirt faintly radiating desolation.

Like a tragic character who met with disaster and died miserably in a drama.

Sheng An continued, “We already know your true nature, so you no longer need to hide it. Wouldn’t it be good to join us?”

Still no movement from Wu Buyu.

Long Tianyu curled his lips, stirring the pot: “Sheng An, there’s no way this guy could ever behave. He’s a real pervert-you should just drag him off by force.”
Li Wanyun nodded in agreement.

She even tried to play the video she recorded on her phone.

-Wu Buyu was now ‘dead’ more thoroughly than ever.

Sheng An lifted her chin slightly.

Qi Lingwu reached out to take the phone and paused the video.

Li Wanyun was somewhat dissatisfied, but didn’t dare show her teeth at Qi Lingwu, so she could only hold it in.

At this moment, both she and Long Tianyu had only one thought in their hearts-

Fight!

Sheng An spoke in a faint voice: “I imagine you already know quite a bit about us, Wu Buyu. The Apocalypse is about to arrive. Joining us is your best choice.

“We’ll provide you with a quiet place to live and food comparable to a state banquet. As long as you’re alive, you’ll never have to worry about food or clothing for the rest of your life. How about it?”

Wu Buyu’s fingers twitched, but he still didn’t lift his head.

Hao Jingye squatted next to him and advised, “Try to think more openly. It’s just social death. Look at these people-each of them thought they were the Chosen Son or Chosen Daughter before, and they’ve all experienced social death. You’re not the only one.”

Wu Buyu: “.”

-Thanks, now I want to die even more.

Wan Yuan curiously poked at the two holes on his back, puzzled: “Hurry up and open your eyes and tell us, can you really turn into a bird? Is it a complete bird, or a bird-man? Do you like eating wood? Is that a hobby you got after turning into a bird?”

Wu Buyu: “..”

-Thanks, already dead.

Song Linwei squatted on the other side, stroking his chin in deep thought: “How exactly do you know so much gossip? So you don’t like to talk because you know there’s too much gossip around you? Is that why you act like a chatterbox but pretend to be withdrawn?”

Wu Buyu: “…”

-Thanks, forget the ginkgo tree, just bury me right here.

Sheng An tossed them aside one by one, waving her hand: “Step back, don’t get too close.”

She squatted in front of Wu Buyu, lowered her head to look at him, and shook her head: “Stop pretending. Get up. You can’t play dead forever, unless you really don’t want to live anymore.

“If you join us, you’ll not only have a quiet environment and delicious food, you’ll also be able to do some things you want to do.”

Wu Buyu’s ears twitched.

Sheng An noticed and smiled slightly: “When the Apocalypse comes, we’ll lose signal, and the internet will collapse. You won’t be able to go online for gossip anymore. For someone who loves gossip like you, life must get pretty boring, right?”

Wu Buyu paused slightly.

Sheng An continued: “But as long as you join us, you’ll become one of the heads of the Apocalypse Information Department, responsible for gathering all kinds of information and distributing it to every shelter and future base in the country.”

Wu Buyu’s fingers twitched again.

Sheng An added: “In addition, you’ll also be editor-in-chief and frontline reporter for the Apocalypse News Department, holding the most news and secrets. With the country backing you, you don’t need to worry about any consequences from knowing too many secrets.”

Wu Buyu moved his head.

Sheng An went on: “You’ve seen these people, right? As the most special humans and the future core departments, they’ll bring you endless entertainment.”

Wu Buyu was tempted again.

Yeah.

There was so much fun with this group.

It hadn’t been long, but it already felt like he’d seen several chapters of a novel…

Sheng An lowered her gaze, her voice gentle: “So, Wu Buyu, do you really not want to join us?”

Wu Buyu suddenly raised his head, his eyes bright:

“Can I make one request?”

Sheng An answered without hesitation: “Go ahead.”

Long Tianyu & Li Wanyun: “???”

The two of them jumped in place.

Long Tianyu raised his voice: “What do you mean? Sheng An, he can just make requests?!”

Li Wanyun: “Sheng An, that’s not fair!!”

There was no sign of the fight they had expected-instead, everything was remarkably peaceful.

No one expected that Wu Buyu would be this type of person. After suffering social death, he simply gave up and didn’t resist at all!

Even more ridiculous, Sheng An, who never negotiated terms, actually agreed to his request…

It was truly unbelievable!

Sheng An looked at them and smiled gently:

“Because his ability is special, his future contributions will be tremendous, and besides, he’s very cooperative.”

Long Tianyu was stunned: “What’s his ability?”

Li Wanyun was also baffled: “Yeah, what’s his ability anyway? Isn’t he just an Atavistic Mutant? Is he really worth negotiating with?”

Her tone was both dissatisfied and disdainful.

Wu Buyu suddenly looked at Li Wanyun, pointed at Long Tianyu:

“He said you’re a tomboy, fierce and ruthless, and said he’d have you go up front to offend Sheng An, and if there’s trouble, you’ll be the one to take the fall, while he just rides along and takes the credit.”

Li Wanyun: “?”

Wu Buyu looked at Long Tianyu and pointed at Li Wanyun:

“She said you’re bad news, hated by everyone in both lifetimes. If it weren’t for your ability, she’d have gotten rid of you long ago; she’s never liked you.”

Long Tianyu: “??”
