After Death, I Became a Superhuman-Chapter 52 – You really are a genius
Anran hurriedly slung her bag over her shoulder and rushed downstairs, waving vigorously at the Didi driver parked at the door. She sprinted into the car at a speed reminiscent of her high school days, slammed the door shut, and immediately started gasping for breath.
"Are you going to Star Dream Culture Media?" the driver asked, turning his head.
"Yes... Hurry, I'm going to be late," Anran replied.
"Alright, buckle up."
The driver started the car with a smile on his face, made a U-turn onto the main road. He seemed to be in a good mood today, humming a tune as he drove.
When he stopped at a traffic light, he couldn't help but speak up, "Going to work?"
"Yes, that's right."
Anran took out a small mirror from her bag and examined her makeup from different angles, doing a final check before appearing at the company.
When you're just trying to make great content at
.
She was quite beautiful and had a well-maintained figure. Apart from a few areas that were a bit lacking, she had no other shortcomings.
However, she had overslept a bit today and rushed out of the house in a hurry. It was only when she looked in the mirror that she noticed her normally smooth and shiny black hair seemed a bit frizzy, the creamy foundation had collapsed on her cheekbones, and there was a slight purple smudge extending to the lower part of her eyes.
In fact, her friends all knew that her makeup skills were a disaster compared to others. Fortunately, she had a good foundation, so it wasn't usually a big problem.
"Working on the weekend too?"
The driver made a teasing remark.
"Yes. The boss said he wouldn't take weekends off, so I can't either."
"Oh, that's not easy."
The driver said this with a smile on his face, which became even brighter.
"Do you know? I've picked up several passengers today, and they were all going out to play. I was feeling a bit unhappy about it... but you're the first one I've picked up who's going to work. To be honest, Uncle feels a lot more balanced now... Hahaha, just kidding..."
He joked, but he laughed more and more happily.
"Oh, so it's not entirely overtime," Anran said. "Our company is organizing an intercontinental trip next week, and today we're going to discuss where to go."
The driver's smile suddenly disappeared.
He didn't say much for the rest of the journey. Anran could only hear him muttering a few words that sounded like "wish you a smooth transfer in Southeast Asia" or something, saying things that she couldn't understand.
In the morning, Anran finished the materials assigned to her and submitted them. There were still forty minutes before the meeting, so she sat at her desk and started playing with her phone.
She opened the app of a pink video website and immediately saw an update from the account she was particularly interested in, "Endless Alliance".
Anran's eyes lit up.
Although the well-known superhero had only debuted for half a month, she considered herself a ten-year fan of his. She hadn't forgotten to like, collect, and even regretted that there was no way to give him a tip. Otherwise, she would definitely support him.
The new video had already accumulated millions of views in a short time, and that was just on this platform alone. The content this time was an accident at a construction site in Hongfeng City, where an out-of-control crane fell from a high altitude.
Superman hadn't appeared in the video yet, but the barrage had already started when the crane began to fall.
"Can I start spamming now, bros?"
"666, oops, did I spam too early?"
"Should we follow the process or go directly???"
"..."
It seemed that the outcome was already guessed when they clicked on the video, so there was no tension in the barrage. Instead, there was a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.
Of course, they still followed the usual process. Superman effortlessly lifted a heavy object weighing tens of tons with one hand, and the barrage was filled with "666" and "?" scrolling across the screen.
Only when the girl who was saved and carried to the hospital at the end was shown, did the screen seem to overflow with the sour smell of lemons.
Of course, the faces of the extras in the scene were also blurred in the video. It looked natural, similar to mosaic, but with a similar effect.
"She actually took advantage of my husband!" Anran exclaimed angrily.
In fact, she had never seen the real Superman in person. But it didn't matter. As a distinguished member of the Peach Full Network, this small obstacle was not a problem at all.
After watching the video happily, she clicked the "like" button and closed the screen. But when she looked up, she was suddenly dumbfounded.
The office had disappeared.
In its place was a burning sky and an overturned earth. The city seemed to have been flipped over by an invisible hand, with buildings and roads collapsing and debris scattered all over the streets, as if it was a statement of the destruction of the world.
"What is this..."
Anran felt a strong sense of trembling. Her heart was pounding, her eyes fixed on the horrifying scene, unable to look away.
It looked so real.
Her eyes widened, almost unable to believe what she was seeing.
The figure she had longed for, floating in mid-air like a deity, with his back facing the burning sky, looked down at her from a high position.
At that moment, she felt as if her heart had stopped beating.Then, she suddenly bowed her head: "I'm sorry, I was wrong! I shouldn't have secretly put sugar in the boss's coffee! I won't dare to do it again!"
Jiang Bei: "???"
The speech he had prepared was suddenly choked back into his stomach, almost making him speechless.
"…You came to see me because of this, right?" She shrank her head cautiously, "Because I thought, you would only look for those who have done wrong.
Sometimes I find the boss very annoying and irritating, and I know he doesn't like sweet things, so I secretly put sugar in his coffee...
...I really didn't do anything else wrong! I swear!"
Jiang Bei: "…"
His emotions were all over the place.
He thought for a moment, decided to stick to the original script.
The source of this c𝓸ntent is freewebnøvel.coɱ.
"An Ran." He said again in that authoritative voice, "You have been chosen."
The girl, who was bowing her head in a standard "apology with chest exposed" posture, looked up blankly.
"Huh?"
...
...
Electronic Wizard, Subdivision.
The Shadow Lord carefully examined these two Extraordinary Beings dispatched by the headquarters, guessing their abilities and sequences.
The first was a thin man, looking frail and without a hint of muscle. His skin was pale, even a bit haggard, his hair sparse and messy, and his facial features not very distinct. His lips seemed a bit deformed compared to ordinary people, and he had a pair of squinted eyes that instantly put people on guard.
The second was the complete opposite, a hulking figure whose muscles almost couldn't fit into his T-shirt. Among all the people the Shadow Lord knew, he was one of the most muscular, with hard and prominent muscle lines, short and thick hair, a dense beard, and walked like a fortress of muscles, but didn't seem very smart.
The headquarters had already informed them in advance. These two's codenames were Ghost Walker and Resonance, the "Anti-Superhuman Commissioners" specially dispatched for support this time.
But the two commissioners were not very talkative, especially the thin Ghost Walker, who made people feel uncomfortable.
The Shadow Lord carefully led them to his temporarily established Anti-Superhuman Studio, where he had selected the more competent logistics personnel from the subdivision.
On the spliced screen, public images related to superhumans were being looped, with a whole professional team watching and analyzing them around the clock.
When they walked in, the screen was showing the scene where Zero was blasted into the sky and exploded into fireworks. Although the Shadow Lord had seen this shot many times, he still twitched at the corner of his mouth, unable to hold back.
The Shadow Lord secretly observed these two new teammates, but couldn't read any emotional fluctuations from their faces, and finally couldn't help but speak.
"Hah, this superhuman, he is indeed very strong. We've analyzed for a long time, but haven't found any obvious weaknesses. His strength is very strong, his defense is very strong, his speed is conservatively estimated to be above the speed of sound..."
Ghost Walker nodded slightly: "Hmm, not bad."
He paused, then added: "Don't worry, we can handle it."
"Can you?"
The Shadow Lord's eyes lit up. Although he knew that the headquarters had probably already found a way to deal with the superhuman, it was still more reassuring to hear it directly from the two commissioners.
Resonance spoke in a deep voice: "I want to punch him in the head and turn him into a smashed watermelon."
"You can't 'step' on a watermelon with a punch." Ghost Walker said indifferently, "By the way, this enemy is indeed unusually strong. We need to use our brains."
Resonance grunted: "I don't need to."
Hearing him say this, the Shadow Lord knew that this big guy was probably absolutely confident in his own extraordinary abilities, and quickly agreed: "In the face of absolute power, any conspiracy and trickery are superfluous."
"No." Resonance shook his head, and said in a deep voice again, "It's because I don't have a brain."
Shadow Lord: "…"
Ghost Walker glanced at the big guy.
"You really are a genius."
