After Death, I Became a Superhuman

Chapter 27 – The bully's personal bodyguard

Jiang Bei's face was flushed and covered in sweat. Before he was completely drained, he quickly came to the living room and gulped down a glass of water.

Xiao Qi raised her long legs and said, "You're useless. You can't last long."

Jiang Bei defended himself with a red face, "What do you mean? I lasted at least four hours... maybe even longer."

"It's only been two hours," Xiao Qi said.

"Two hours?"

Jiang Bei checked the time on the screen and found that Xiao Qi seemed to be telling the truth, which made him furrow his brows slightly.

"This is not right. I feel like it's been five or six hours..."

After She Miao successfully tested the function of the transformation field in the afternoon, Jiang Bei also tried it himself. He prioritized the ability of mental barrier, which enhanced his resistance against mental transcendent abilities.

After all, from now on, he had more and more secrets to keep. His brain was like a safe, and having a better lock made him feel much safer.

The rest of the time was spent training with the Teletubbies in the training room.

The aftermath of the Kangtu earthquake seemed to have not subsided yet, and the treasury value in Jiang Bei's backstage was still stubbornly rising. It had just reached 2300 when he came out of the training room.

Then he received a new function unlocking prompt from the Endless Hall.

So Jiang Bei temporarily put aside his training and took a break. He drank some water and took a breath, then went back to the crystal in the hall to check the newly opened module.

It was called "Mission Search," a new function.

It used a radar system similar to the application and recruitment functions for a wide-range scan. However, the difference was that the recruitment system analyzed all the information of each person within the radar scan range to evaluate their suitability for the alliance, while the mission search scanned for potential mission targets that could bring treasury value benefits.

Once the scan produced results, the mission radar would provide a name and the corresponding identity information of the target. But that was all.

The appearance of a name on the radar meant that the person was likely involved in an event that, if handled properly, would bring treasury value benefits to the alliance. However, the system would not explicitly state what the event was, nor would it explain whether the person was a victim, perpetrator, or simply someone involved.

"I see, so someone needs to investigate..." Jiang Bei understood.

Obviously, as the leader of the organization, he couldn't personally investigate each name on the radar. These were tasks that should be assigned to alliance members. As the behind-the-scenes figure, his role was to allocate and coordinate, manage resources, and strategize.

Well... that's what he said, but it seemed that he only had one member he could assign at the moment.

Since the recruitment radar next door had been running non-stop for twenty-four hours, and he still hadn't found a second cute little cabbage...

Jiang Bei clicked the start button, and the mission radar began scanning.@@@@

It was faster than he expected. Soon, the radar spit out the first name, indicating that the person was about to be involved in an event worthy of the alliance's intervention.

Jiang Bei opened it to view the details.

Hmm... Liu Yufeng?

Who was that?

-----------------

News in school always spread quickly. Within one class, the story of the "math teacher cursing the stupid principal" had already spread throughout the entire school. Students from all grades were discussing it, hoping to make it to the campus headlines this year.

However, She Miao, who was suspected to be the instigator, had no interest in gossiping about the aftermath.

He spent the whole afternoon trying to recall the feeling that appeared in that moment and tried to concentrate on capturing and manipulating it. The initial feeling was not easy, but after repeated attempts, he felt like he had grasped a clue.

This made She Miao somewhat delighted. He was now almost certain that this was the new ability bestowed upon him by the mysterious mentor of the alliance, a genuine superpower that seemed to be a mental ability.

He believed that the mentor had a purpose in giving him this ability. He had already started to imagine himself showing off in future detective, espionage, interrogation, and questioning scenarios.

It's just that he might feel a little sorry for the math teacher.

No, what's going on?

Has the sun risen from the west? Liu Yufeng got beaten up?

Liu Yufeng was a well-known troublemaker in the school, and even the head teacher knew his name. Not only was he good at fighting, but he also always had two lackeys with him. It was said that even the students who had practiced karate in Class 2 had fallen into their hands...

... Wait a minute, are these two idiots next to him his lackeys?

The head teacher became even more confused. But looking around, except for these three wailing idiots, the rest seemed to be onlookers.

He frowned, "Who beat them up? Step forward."

As soon as he finished speaking, the onlookers all stepped back in unison.

Only She Miao stood still.

When you're just trying to make great content at bit.ly/3iBfjkV.

He was still pretending to admire the scenery until the head teacher's unfriendly gaze fell on him. She Miao looked left and right at the students on both sides, feeling a sense of betrayal. "I feel like I've been betrayed, really..."

The head teacher furrowed his brows, "Did you beat them up?"

"They started it," She Miao defended himself confidently. "Don't believe me? Ask them."

He looked at the three people groaning on the ground.

As if sensing his cold gaze, the three of them trembled as if they had been electrocuted and quickly spoke up.

"Ah, yes, yes, we started it," Liu Yufeng nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

"I was just about to punch him in the face," entourage member number one said.

"I was just about to kick him in the crotch," entourage member number two said, pointing at Liu Yufeng. "He gave the order."

"Yes, yes, they all listened to me. I was the mastermind. I was even thinking about gouging his eyes," Liu Yufeng said. "It was self-defense."

The head teacher: "???"

-----------------

Since the three delinquents already had multiple previous offenses and all three of them confessed to their crimes, She Miao received a verbal reprimand and the matter was considered closed.

By the time he finished listening to the lecture and left school, it was already dark. She Miao had wasted a lot of time, but as he walked back, there was only one word in his mind—

—Satisfying.

Seeing the bruised and swollen faces of those three, he couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction. In his mind, a little devil even appeared, laughing hysterically and shouting, "We should have done this a long time ago."

On his way back, he suddenly heard a ethereal and profound voice in his ear.

"There's a mission."

She Miao immediately felt delighted. "No problem. I'm ready anytime, punishing evil and promoting good, fighting crime and all that... Oh, right, just like what I did this afternoon.

This afternoon, I taught a bully a lesson, I really wish you could see the expression on his face at that time, hahaha..."

Then he realized that he was getting a bit too carried away and quickly restrained his smile. "...Ah, sorry, mentor, what task do you have for me?"

"Hmm."

That solemn voice slowly sounded.

"I want you to be the personal bodyguard of that bully."

She Miao: "...Huh?"
