After Death, I Became a Superhuman-Chapter 61 – Again
Xu Haoyu slowly opened his eyes and felt a dull pain in his head.
After regaining consciousness, he looked around in confusion and found himself sitting in a room with a strange atmosphere. The only source of light was an old hanging lamp above his head, with exposed wires emitting a buzzing sound like an restless locust.
The last thing he remembered was walking home from the Sky Eye after work. Suddenly, he felt a pain in his neck, and then everything went black...
He had been ambushed!
Xu Haoyu instantly became alert and tried to jump up from the chair. However, his hands were tied behind the backrest, and the force of the ropes pulled him back into the chair in a rather ridiculous manner.
He heard someone speaking beside him.
"Why did you capture this useless guy?"
It was a woman's voice, and it sounded quite pleasant. However, her tone seemed cold, as if she was not very happy.
"I thought you asked us to capture a special agent from the Sky Eye to ask about the situation..."
"Yes, obviously I asked you to capture a special agent, not a rookie on duty in the security booth." The woman sounded displeased. "What's the use of capturing a rookie in the security booth?"
The rookie in the security booth... Wasn't that referring to him? Xu Haoyu felt offended.
"It's not easy to capture other special agents either..."

"Well, it's not like I intentionally interrupted you." Another person's voice appeared. "But it seems like the rookie has woken up."
The conversation paused briefly. Then the woman sighed lightly, and the sound of high heels approaching step by step followed.
"Hey."
A voice suddenly sounded from the right, and Xu Haoyu felt like he would have jumped if he hadn't been tied up. He turned his head towards the sound and saw a pale face appearing in the darkness next to him. The face had sinister fangs and a mocking smirk.
"He does look like a coward."
The person speaking was on the left. Another pale man with vampire-like fangs and blood-red pupils.
Xu Haoyu's heart started pounding. He knew that he probably wouldn't be able to escape this time, but as a member of the Sky Eye, even if he was just a rookie on duty, he couldn't let the organization's prestige be tarnished.
So he suppressed his fear and coldly said, "Fine, if I, your grandpa, fell into the hands of you small fries, feel free to kill or torture me as you please. But don't expect to get any useful information from me..."
"...Damn, this place is so big?"
He looked in astonishment at the third person who appeared in the darkness. She was an elegant woman with a tall figure, delicate makeup, and... a rather exaggerated chest.
"He's staring at your chest." One of the Kindred said.
"Hmph, nonsense."
Xu Haoyu showed a disdainful expression, closed his eyes, and looked away.
But his eyelids seemed to have a mind of their own and opened a slit, stealing a glance.
But he couldn't be blamed. It was well known that the larger something was, the stronger its gravitational pull, and it was really hard to control.
"...I still think this coward probably doesn't know anything." The Kindred next to him said.
"Never mind, since we're already here." The woman walked up to Xu Haoyu, threw a flirtatious glance, and smiled gently. "Hello, I'm Yecha."
She was the Yecha who used to be by the Tyrant's side. However, she was not a subordinate of the Tyrant, but rather had the dual roles of inspector and collaborator, and was sent to the Tyrant because of the Star Stream Stone.
After the Tyrant's downfall, she left. But now she was sent to Changhe City again because of new information about the Star Stream Stone.
"Don't be nervous, handsome, I just want to ask a few questions." Yecha smiled lightly. "I've noticed that the members of your Sky Eye have been appearing frequently in Changhe recently. Why is that? Did you take care of Li Jingyin and Yin Hao, the two Kindred Transcendents?"
Xu Haoyu looked at the woman who was bending down and smiling in front of him.
Through the collar, he could see the half that had been squeezed and deformed by this simple bending action, which was indeed quite exaggerated.
Xu Haoyu disdainfully snorted, "You're underestimating me, Xu, if you're using something like this to test your subordinates."
He paused for a moment and couldn't help but take another glance.
"...Well, but you're always welcome to try."
He wouldn't leak any secrets, but if it was Yecha, it wouldn't hurt to let her try to extract information.
Although he knew that someone like her was generally not serious, he couldn't resist a man's endless desire for exploration, even if he knew he might be facing a black hole.
"Alright."
Yecha smiled slightly, and her cold and slender palm pressed against his forehead.
"Don't blink."
In an instant, everything distorted. Xu Haoyu felt a chill rushing to his brain, and just before losing consciousness, he felt a thump in his heart.
She could use illusions...
...
...
She Miao felt that everything was simply unbelievable now.
After being promoted to Sequence C, his list of selectable abilities had also expanded. After Jiang Bei reviewed the abilities of each member, he quickly decided on She Miao's next awakened skill.
Extreme Speed.
An extremely rare Transcendent branch left behind by a very powerful predecessor in the Endless Alliance. Its effect was quite simple, just one word: fast.
Speed was the key to invincibility in the world of martial arts, and She Miao now felt invincible.
During the activation of Extreme Speed, he felt like he was cheating, moving like a whirlwind.
However, it was clear that his current sequence level couldn't support this ability for a long time. He could only briefly activate the skill of Extreme Speed as a short-cooldown blink. It was easy to imagine that high-speed movement would come with a huge consumption, and if he kept it on for a few more moments, he would be drained.
But this didn't affect the level of surprise She Miao felt after his new skill awakened. He even once thought he could catch a bullet with his bare hands... until he tested his maximum speed on the training field.
Sixty meters per second.
Uh...
Well, apparently he couldn't catch bullets yet. But he was already fast enough to dodge bullets with ease.
She Miao remained calm and optimistic. After all, even the speed representative among superheroes, like the Flash, only measured over eighty meters per second when he first started out. There was always a process from bronze to grandmaster, and he felt his future was still bright.
So, he confidently returned to the training room.
He had undergone a complete transformation, and his super speed gave him an inflated confidence. Today, he was going to take advantage of this and reclaim his old turf from the Teletubbies instructor, showing it the meaning of "only speed is invincible."
The training room activated, and the adorable Teletubbies appeared. She Miao smirked and took a step.
Super speed!

Every cell in his body seemed to accelerate to the extreme in an instant, moving like a gust of wind. He spun elegantly like a high-speed top, flashing behind the Teletubbies instructor, ready to lightly tap its fluffy head with an antenna...
...Huh? Where did it go?
She Miao was stunned, realizing that the Teletubbies had disappeared from his sight.
He instinctively turned around, only to see a red object's afterimage coming at him.
Bang.
She Miao's nose bled profusely as he fell to the ground in a familiar pose.
The Teletubbies hopped and jumped around, its figure flashing around the training room like a whirlwind.
"Again! Again!"
She Miao: "..."
This punch shattered his inflated confidence and reminded him of a cold, cruel fact.
The training room's instructor was based on the user's abilities and rank, with difficulty levels ranging from "easy" to "hell". Different people would face different abilities and strengths of the Teletubbies.
In other words, if he was fast, the Teletubbies were faster.
She Miao sighed deeply. As he calmed down from his inflated state, he realized something.
It seemed he might never escape the fear of being dominated by the Teletubbies in his lifetime.
