Too Many Reincarnators? I Bring the National Team to the Field - Chapter 83

Chapter 83

Gu Qiansheng froze.

While Liu Yue and Ji Yani were talking, he had become visibly silent, much like the nature of his own ability.

At this moment, he was at his most silent.

“Brother Gu?” Liu Yue and Ji Yani asked, looking a bit confused.

Gu Qiansheng slowly squeezed out three words: “It’s… about… the same.”

The two of them exchanged a glance, both showing an expression that said-

[I get it. Brother Gu’s benefits must be amazing, but he’s just reluctant to tell us because he’s afraid of making us feel bad. It’s okay; Brother Gu has a special Supernatural Ability, so it’s only normal for him to get better treatment.]

They were very satisfied with their own terms and wouldn’t dream of being jealous of Gu Qiansheng.

Gu Qiansheng’s lips twitched as he shifted his gaze out the car window.

He continued to maintain his silence.

In reality, the words “about the same” should have been punctuated differently in his mind.

Bad! Not much.

He recalled the scene from earlier.

Gu Qiansheng had been preparing to head to a remote city to begin his Path of the Overlord. He had just opened his door when he found himself face-to-face with Sheng An.

Confronted with Sheng An’s sharp insight, Gu Qiansheng naturally refused to admit anything.

Sheng An smiled slightly. “You’re a smart man. Over the last three days, your daily internet usage increased from two hours to twenty. I imagine you’ve gathered quite a bit of intelligence.

“Our organization has many Superpower Users, including one member with Mind Reading. If you need evidence before you’ll confess, I can arrange for the two of you to have a chat.”

No sane person wanted to have a “chat” with someone who had Mind Reading.

That would mean all the secrets hidden in one’s heart would be exposed. How was that any different from having your pants pulled down right then and there?

Gu Qiansheng fell silent for a long time.

He was a smart man. From Sheng An’s few sentences, he knew he had been stripped bare; there was no longer any way to hide.

His voice was hoarse. “How did you know?”

Gu Qiansheng stared at her intently, his eyes darkening. “I hid myself very well. Even if my time online increased, it shouldn’t have been enough for you to target me.”

He still found it hard to accept that he had been discovered.

After all, he had hidden so well.

So how exactly had the state targeted him?

Was the government powerful enough to monitor every single person?

Or had he accidentally slipped up somewhere?

Sheng An gave a faint smile. “Because we have Reborn People. They saw you in their past lives and knew you would awaken the Silence Ability.”

Gu Qiansheng: “???”

He was dumbfounded.

He had thought of ten thousand possible reasons, but never this one!

A Reborn Person had locked onto him based on memories from a past life?

-Isn’t that fucking cheating?!

Sheng An then added, “So, will you join us?”

Gu Qiansheng still remembered his mood at that moment. He could almost see himself again-chin lifted, one hand braced against the door, a brow slightly arched as he sneered-

“Since you know my ability, you should know that you can’t catch me, right?”

He could Silence them!

That was the formidable power he possessed.

In that moment, he was full of confidence.

His gaze was calm, his voice steady, as he coolly explained his ability.

Then, he clearly heard Sheng An’s equally calm and unhesitating voice-

“We know. That’s why there’s a sniper aimed at you from a distance your Silence cannot reach.”

As if in response, a red dot moved from between his eyebrows to the ground, then back to his brow.

It was as if to tell him-I’m watching you at all times.

Gu Qiansheng: “…………”

He froze, not moving an inch.

After that, he had obediently let himself be taken away and put into the car.

As for the terms?

-Bad! Not much.

-They were very bad, and there wasn’t much of them.

***

Sheng An successfully brought the group back to the villa.

Liu Yue and Ji Yani were extremely cooperative. Gu Qiansheng was also “extremely cooperative,” though his eyes were constantly scanning his surroundings as if observing something.

The villa was massive, and Liu Yue and Ji Yani couldn’t help but cry out in surprise.

“The state actually prepared this much?”

“Thank goodness I clung to the government’s thigh. Otherwise, I don’t think I’d want to live through the Apocalypse… Wow, this villa… it’s so secure.”

“I’ve never lived in a villa before. As expected, following the state is different!”

The two of them made excited, wide-eyed noises.

Gu Qiansheng looked away expressionlessly.

Hao Jingye came out clutching a folder and smiled slightly.

“Welcome, three new teammates, to Group B. Please come with me for an examination. I will also explain the Apocalypse Special Affairs Department to you in detail.”

Long Tianyu suddenly flashed down from upstairs, appearing right next to the three of them.

Liu Yue and Ji Yani’s eyes widened in fright.

Long Tianyu glanced over them and let out a light huff. “It’s a Flash Step Ability. Haven’t you seen one before?”
His gaze fixed on Ji Yani, and he nodded. “A Speed Superpower User. We should race sometime.”

Ji Yani froze.

Gu Qiansheng’s eyes were wary.

Ke Jiaxue poked her head out of a room and called out, “Assistant Hao, three new members joined today. How about we have hot pot in the villa?”

Zhang Kun added, “I think that’s a great idea!”

He said excitedly, “Assistant Hao, let logistics know they don’t need to deliver later. I’ll use my Space Ability to go to the cafeteria and pick it up myself.”

Hao Jingye pulled out his phone and nodded. “Hot pot. It’s settled.”

He then looked up and roared, “Ke Jiaxue! Don’t get the room wet! If you want to research your Supernatural Ability, go to the water-type training ground!”

Ke Jiaxue rubbed her nose and obediently controlled the water flowing out of the room, drawing it back inside. “Okay.”

Liu Yue, Ji Yani, and Gu Qiansheng: “…”

-What kind of strange place had they come to?

-What kind of strange creatures were these people?

*Thump-*

Outside the door, something landed with a loud crash.

Gu Qiansheng and the other two looked over.

Before they even saw anyone, they heard cursing: “Wu Buyu, what are you doing? Couldn’t you wait until you landed to turn back into a human? You almost killed me!”

Another voice rang out: “Li Xin, you’re a Metal Man, you can’t be killed by a fall. Besides, you should be grateful I was willing to bring you back at all.”

Under the trio’s bewildered gazes, a birdman and a Metal Man walked in.

The moment they stepped through the door, their Supernatural Abilities vanished, turning them into a trendy young man and an underage boy.

The three newcomers’ eyes widened.

At that moment, a cold, aloof woman returned from outside. She swept a glance over the three of them and said indifferently, “Newbies, huh.”

Gu Qiansheng frowned.

Liu Yue said weakly, “I’m a Fire Ability User.”

He felt he deserved at least a little respect.

“Just a Fire-type,” she said, her expression remaining arrogant.

Ji Yani wasn’t convinced. “What’s your Supernatural Ability?”

Song Linwei poked his head out and smiled slightly. “She’s a combat-capable Space-type Superpower User.”

Liu Yue and Ji Yani: “…”

Gu Qiansheng also paused.

-This place was truly a den of hidden dragons and crouching tigers.

Just then, with a *pop*, a person suddenly appeared in front of them.

The sudden appearance startled the three of them, causing them to instinctively take a step back.

It was a young woman, but she was covered in dust and grime. Her face was streaked with mud, and her sneakers were so filthy that mud was even falling onto the floor.

The clean floor was instantly covered in dirt.

She was also holding a hoe.

The three of them: “…………”

Hao Jingye was driven to distraction. “Jiang Yu! I’ve told you so many times, enter your Space Ability through the bathroom! Don’t get the floor dirty every time you come out!”

Jiang Yu scratched her head awkwardly.

Only then did she realize she was still holding the hoe, and she quickly stored it back into her Space Ability.

She reached out a hand toward the three of them, looking very friendly. “Welcome to Group B of the Apocalypse Special Affairs Department!”

The three of them: “…”

This was the friendliest person they had met so far, but-Sister, you haven’t washed your hands yet!

Once again, they lamented that the people here… seemed very terrifying.

And they also seemed… not quite normal.

Wu Buyu walked over to the trio, rubbed his chin, and then looked up, his eyes sparkling like stars.

“Sister Sheng, these two are pretty honest, but this one isn’t so honest. He’s still calculating our combat power in his head, wondering if he can win and escape our control!”

The first two were naturally Liu Yue and Ji Yani, while the latter was Gu Qiansheng.

Gu Qiansheng: “???”

Sheng An didn’t even look up. “Normal. He’ll settle down in a few days. Take them for their checkups; we’re having hot pot later.”

Gu Qiansheng: “…”

“Yay!” Jiang Yu cheered.

The others also took it as a matter of course. They didn’t think his inner thoughts were worth being wary of; it was as if he wasn’t even as important as a meal of hot pot.

They had even started arguing over whether to get mild, extra spicy, or non-spicy broth.

He was clearly plotting his escape-weren’t these people afraid?

Or had someone already tried it for him?

Gu Qiansheng took a deep breath. He suddenly felt a strange sense of helplessness and despair. None of these people seemed normal, yet this group of eccentrics was being kept in line so obediently by Sheng An.

Could his ambitious dream of becoming a hegemon still be realized?

Wu Buyu: “He seems to have accepted his fate, saying-Ah! I can’t hear anything! What did you do?”

Gu Qiansheng remained expressionless. “Nothing much. I just used Silence on you.”

Li Xin walked over happily and slapped him on the shoulder.

“Good brother! Nicely done!”

Gu Qiansheng looked at the hand on his shoulder. Likely due to his excitement, Li Xin had turned his hand into steel, nearly shattering Gu Qiansheng’s frame with the slap.

He suddenly accepted his fate completely.

Once you came to this place, you probably shouldn’t even think about leaving.
