Too Many Reincarnators? I Bring the National Team to the Field - Chapter 8

Jiang Yu was utterly bewildered, staring blankly at Sheng An.

Sheng An said, “Your time is precious, but mine is even more so. You’ve already wasted twelve minutes.”

She sounded a bit helpless.

Didn’t this girl know that the Apocalypse was coming in just twenty-one days?

Why was she still wasting time arguing?

Was watching a scoundrel jump around really that entertaining?

Jiang Yu was still lost in confusion.

Sheng An asked, “What? You’re not satisfied? Want to deal with him directly?”

She thought for a moment, then nodded, “Straightforward. Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. That works too, so-”

Jiang Yu hurriedly interrupted her, “Wait!”

She shook her head, “No, I can’t let him die just like that. He has to live until after the twenty-one days.”

In her previous life, everyone said that dying before the Apocalypse was a blessing.

She wasn’t about to let Yu Litian and Chen Jiaojiao die so easily!

Otherwise, every time she thought about how they tormented her, and how she never got her revenge, she’d be furious.

Sheng An’s face said: I don’t understand, but I respect it.

She waved her hand, “Whatever you want. As long as you cooperate with the country, these harmless matters are up to you.”

Her tone was almost indulgent.

Yu Litian was dumbfounded, but when two plainclothes officers cuffed his hands, he suddenly realized-

These people were not ordinary!

Especially the woman who ordered his arrest.

Yu Litian struggled, “Wait, what are you doing? Why are you arresting me?!”

Sheng An didn’t bother to explain. She waved her hand, and the two officers dragged him out like a dead dog.

Outside, a woman’s startled voice rang out:

“Litian! What’s wrong? Why are you arresting Litian?!”

Jiang Yu gritted her teeth, “Chen Jiaojiao!”

As soon as she finished speaking, a woman rushed over and threw herself at Yu Litian at the doorway.

She turned her head, “Jiang Yu! Why did you have them arrest Litian, you-”

Sheng An interrupted her, “Oh, there’s another one.”

Her expression was calm, her tone emotionless, “Yu Litian, was it Chen Jiaojiao who told you to steal the bracelet?”

Yu Litian had just opened his mouth when Sheng An stepped forward and twisted his hand hard.

“Ah-”

“Was it?”

“It hurts-ah, yes, yes, yes, it was Jiaojiao who told me-”

Sheng An let go, still expressionless, “An accomplice. Take her away too.”

As soon as she finished, another plainclothes officer cuffed Chen Jiaojiao.

Three people dragged the two of them out.

Soon, their cries grew distant.

The sound of police sirens blared, the police car drove away, and Yu Litian and Chen Jiaojiao’s voices could no longer be heard.

Jiang Yu was utterly bewildered.

-What just happened?

From Chen Jiaojiao’s appearance to her being dragged away, it had taken less than a minute…

“Under legal and proper procedures, solving problems reasonably is so simple. Did you never think of calling the police?” Sheng An glanced at her.

Jiang Yu: …

She really hadn’t thought of it.

Jiang Yu looked conflicted, “But the Apocalypse is coming soon. Jail time won’t matter…”

Sheng An sighed, “Silly child, with the Apocalypse coming, the country will notify people to stock up. Where will they stock up from the Detention Center? After twenty-one days, with no money and no food, won’t they be at your mercy?”

She was quite helpless.

With Jiang Yu’s temperament, even after being reborn and having a spatial ability, aside from getting revenge on Yu Litian, she really wouldn’t accomplish much…

So this is why Shi Xiao ended up retiring with the male lead in the end?

Sheng An tried to understand.

Jiang Yu’s eyes suddenly lit up.

Hao Jingye nodded in agreement, “If you want revenge, don’t let them enjoy twenty-one days of freedom. Don’t worry about the Detention Center, I’ll have someone put in a word and make sure they’re ‘well taken care of.'”

Sheng An tried to understand, and then-

Still couldn’t.

She spread her hands, “I think dealing with them directly would be easier, but if you insist on keeping them around, I’ll respect that.”

Her face still said: I don’t understand, but I respect it.

Jiang Yu: “…”

-Didn’t you just say to follow legal procedures?

This outcome was really the best for now.

Jiang Yu had always wanted to torment them in the Apocalypse, but letting them jump around for these twenty-one days before the end was disgusting.

Sending them to the Detention Center to suffer was much better and kept them out of sight.

For these twenty-one days, she could focus on stocking up supplies.

Thinking this way, Jiang Yu’s eyes sparkled as she looked at Sheng An.

Sheng An, like petting a cat, patted her head-

“Good girl. Now that you’ve sided with the country, Sister Sheng will look after you, and the country will protect you. Just do your best for the nation and don’t overthink things.”

Mainly, she didn’t seem all that smart.

Jiang Yu nodded vigorously, her voice loud, “Okay, Sister Sheng!”

She was now completely convinced by Sheng An.

Even though Sheng An might not be older than her, calling her “Sister Sheng” was still heartfelt and sincere.
Sheng An curled her lips into a smile. “Come on, let’s go report to the Apocalypse Special Affairs Department.”

Jiang Yu’s eyes lit up and she nodded vigorously.

After reporting, would they finally fill her space with supplies?

Jiang Yu rubbed her hands together in anticipation.

Sheng An was very satisfied to see her cooperation.

-Jiang Yu, a “Chosen Daughter” whose mind was stuffed with too much romance, had officially joined them.

*

On the way back, Hao Jingye told Jiang Yu everything he could.

Jiang Yu had long known the Apocalypse was coming, but she was still shocked by the turbulent undercurrents beneath the calm surface.

Thinking of the other four “Deviants”…

Jiang Yu sighed, “I thought I was the most special one. I didn’t expect there were other Reborn Persons, and even Superpower Users. The Apocalypse hasn’t even arrived, and there are already Superpower Users.”

This was something that had absolutely never happened in her previous life.

Sheng An tapped her fingers on the steering wheel, her gaze deep. She murmured, “Yes, so many Reborn Persons and Superpower Users appearing…”

One could be a coincidence.

So many? Definitely not a coincidence.

She didn’t believe in coincidences either.

Hao Jingye felt uneasy. “It always feels unsettling. One Chosen One is normal, but so many Chosen Ones… Superpower Users can be explained, since the meteorite is approaching, but what about the Reborn Persons?”

Jiang Yu shook her head, unable to understand.

Still, she felt a bit disappointed inside.

She had thought she was the Chosen One, but now it seemed she was just one of many.

-Oh, and a Chosen One under someone else’s control.

Jiang Yu sneaked a glance at Sheng An.

As if thinking of something, she asked curiously, “By the way, do the other four Deviants also fall under Sister Sheng’s jurisdiction?”

Hao Jingye shook his head. “No.”

“The Apocalypse Special Affairs Department is split into two groups. Sister Sheng is in charge of Group B, and the other group is led by the Superpower User… Qiu Yu. The remaining three Deviants are all under Qiu Yu. The two groups must cooperate to fight the Apocalypse, but they act separately and do not interfere with each other.”

“Qiu Yu?” Jiang Yu was curious.

Hao Jingye glanced at Sheng An. Seeing she had no reaction, he knew it was fine to tell Jiang Yu these things.

“Qiu Yu is one of the Deviants. She was originally also a leader in the Apocalypse Special Affairs Department, but both she and her direct superior, Elder Li, are rather radical. The higher-ups didn’t dare let them manage the entire department, afraid the Deviants would get out of control, so they let Sister Sheng take charge of Group B, hoping she could keep Group A in check.”

After a pause, Hao Jingye added, “Of course, Group A also wants to suppress Group B.”

Jiang Yu felt a headache coming on.

She was more concerned, “What is Qiu Yu’s superpower?”

Hao Jingye took a deep breath and said slowly, “Puppetry. She can control other people’s superpowers.”

Jiang Yu gasped.

She almost instinctively raised her voice, “With such a special superpower, can Sister Sheng really keep her in check?”

Hao Jingye snorted, “You don’t know, Sister Sheng and Qiu Yu both come from Team 0. Before they fell out, Sister Sheng always kept Qiu Yu in check. Even after their fallout, Qiu Yu has never beaten Sister Sheng in any mission.”

“Besides, Qiu Yu just awakened her superpower early. With someone like Sister Sheng, do you think she won’t have a superpower after the Apocalypse?”

Hao Jingye rubbed his chin, looking forward to it. “I’m actually quite curious whether I’ll get a superpower, and what kind it would be.”

Jiang Yu was curious, “Fell out? Were they close before?”

Hao Jingye thought for a moment, then spoke uncertainly, “Probably. They both came from Team 0, and Team 0 has always had great chemistry. Every member could entrust their life to the others.”

Sheng An said nothing, lost in memories of the past.

Her mind instantly flashed back to several years ago.

She and Qiu Yu were both raised by the state, subjected to special training from a young age, and were the only two women to become members of Team 0.

Unlike Sheng An, who was always rational and restrained, Qiu Yu had always been cold-faced but warm-hearted.

She would regularly help Sheng An wash and mend clothes, secretly cook her midnight snacks, and save the best food for her whenever they ate out-like a little wife…

Of course, that was in the past.

Jiang Yu wore a gossipy expression. “Could it be you liked the same man? Betrayal, love and hate entanglements?”

Sheng An glanced at her in the rearview mirror, speechless. “Can you put something other than romance in your head for once?”

Her expression was calm. Under Hao Jingye’s equally gossipy gaze, she said lightly:

“Because of a mission.”

After speaking, Sheng An said no more.

Hao Jingye withdrew his curious gaze; Sister Sheng’s expression clearly showed she didn’t want to talk about it.

Jiang Yu still wanted to ask, but for some reason, looking at Sheng An’s profile made her hesitate.

So she turned to Hao Jingye again, “Didn’t they want Sister Sheng to suppress Qiu Yu? Why did they give the other Deviants to Qiu Yu? Is it because of her superpower?”

Jiang Yu was a bit unhappy.

But Hao Jingye smiled, pushed up his glasses, and said, “Are you kidding? Would our Sister Sheng ever back down? There must be another reason.”

Jiang Yu leaned forward, curious. “What is it?”
