Public Security Bureau, police service hall.

"What? You... you know who I am?" Liu Chuang shouted at Qi Lin with the attitude of heaven being first, earth being second, himself being third, and dozens of brothers outside backing him up.

"Liu Chuang, unemployed. After graduating high school, you repaired watches and worked in sales. You've been detained multiple times for gathering people to fight. Currently residing in Manhole Cover Alley." Qi Lin glanced at Liu Chuang and fired back at a rapid, sing-song pace. As she spoke, she lowered her head and continued filling out her paperwork, as though she already knew every trick used by older social delinquents and public-order disruptors like him.

She had no goodwill toward him whatsoever and wished she could throw him straight into detention to reflect on himself. But before Qi Lin could finish, Liu Chuang cut her off.

"No, I'm... I'm a superhero. The kind who saves all humanity." Hearing the policewoman Qi Lin describe his past made Liu Chuang feel a little embarrassed. It was a huge disgrace, and it definitely didn't fit his current identity as a superhero. He grew anxious and hurriedly defended himself, though his voice clearly lacked confidence.

After all, who would believe something like being a superhero? Especially when he had heard it in a dream.

"Who told you that?" Qi Lin raised her head, tilted it toward Liu Chuang, and spoke as if she had heard something hilarious.

"I... when I passed out, that immortal in my dream told me..." Before Liu Chuang could finish, Qi Lin interrupted him.

"Behave yourself. Stop playing tricks." Qi Lin had long since grown used to this. She had been a police officer for years and came from a police family; her father was even the bureau chief. Ever since she was young, she had seen countless criminals come into the station and make up all kinds of excuses for themselves.

Besides, Qi Lin did not want to listen anymore.

At that moment, Jiang Ming sat in his chair and heard footsteps approaching from outside. One was light and one was heavy, so he judged that there were two people, likely a man and a woman. Jiang Ming knew Qiang Wei and the master swindler A Jie had arrived. Du Kao had sent them to bail out Liu Chuang and Ge Xiaolun.

Liu Chuang was still explaining himself to Qi Lin, apparently trying to prove something by insisting that he was a superhero and that he had not lied. But Qi Lin did not listen to any of his explanations.

Meanwhile, Jiang Ming sat across from Ge Xiaolun, watching him babble endlessly while calmly waiting for Qiang Wei and A Jie to arrive.

Looking at Ge Xiaolun's big face and the loser aura radiating from him, Jiang Ming thought, How did Angel Yan ever fall for this guy? Do the Angel Race not care about looks or temperament? Do they only look at genetic compatibility to tell whether two people are suitable? Does that mean the two of them are destined to fall in love? But Angel Yan and Zhi Xin seemed to make one-sided vows directly, didn't they? A wave of confusion rose within him.

This is practically a high-end version of big data. He thought of certain matchmaking sites from his previous life. They were all scams. How could they compare to this world? If this technology were popularized on Earth, would there still be unmarried men and women? It would practically be guaranteed matchmaking! From birth onward, data could be matched right at the source.

After his thoughts drifted for a while, he heard Ge Xiaolun continue rambling.

"No... Comrade, the surveillance cameras caught it all. I was helping someone in need! I didn't mean to hurt anyone."

Jiang Ming immediately replied, "I know you meant well, but you still need to pay attention to your methods, don't you? This alone could get you charged with intentional assault, understand? And do you know how much trouble and how much of an impact you nearly caused for yourself and Giant Gorge City?"

"National Security Bureau." A Jie took out his National Security Bureau identification and placed it before him.

"You're here." Jiang Ming stood up, nodded at A Jie, and sized up both A Jie and Qiang Wei.

Jiang Ming knew that in his memories, A Jie's earliest version had been an alien warrior. Later, for some unknown reason, he became a master swindler, and his skills advanced by leaps and bounds. His shamelessness was practically unmatched in the entire Super God World. Jiang Ming figured that compared to Zhang Chulan, the shameless bastard from Under One Person, A Jie would be evenly matched.

As for Qiang Wei, she was the bearer of the Space-Time Gene. She had been jointly developed by Morgana and the king of losers, Carl. What she meant to Morgana went without saying. Just look at the later events, when Qiang Wei turned Morgana into a lesbian queen. She could slay both losers and demons alike. Wasn't that terrifying?

Jiang Ming told A Jie and Qiang Wei that once they finished the paperwork, they could take Ge Xiaolun away.

Ge Xiaolun was still sizing up Qiang Wei. He seemed stunned by her sexy figure and icy temperament. Jiang Ming knew Ge Xiaolun would soon suffer the consequences of that.

Qiang Wei did not even spare a glance for the loser who kept staring at her. Instead, she gave Jiang Ming a quick look-over. After all, Jiang Ming had practiced martial arts for many years, reaching an extremely high realm of cultivation. Having also been tempered through multiple worlds, his mind and bearing were no longer comparable to when he had first arrived.

Although Jiang Ming had restrained his cultivation, he still stood out somewhat compared to ordinary people.

Jiang Ming did not find Qiang Wei's scrutiny strange. After all, he had changed greatly. Qi Lin had looked at him like that before and even asked him what exactly he had been eating.

A Jie was somewhat surprised by Qiang Wei's gaze. He knew she normally paid absolutely no attention to the opposite sex.

So he looked Jiang Ming over as well, finding his bearing extraordinary, though he did not think much of it. He merely looked at Ge Xiaolun and said, "What are you looking at? Let's go!"

Hearing that, Ge Xiaolun hurriedly came back to his senses and reluctantly pulled his naked gaze away from Qiang Wei.

You can't blame me for this. This beauty is just too gorgeous. He had seen quite a few campus belles growing up.

Yesterday, while riding to the police station, he had even sworn that once he got out, he would date ten campus belles.

Qiang Wei and A Jie then took Ge Xiaolun away. A Jie heard Liu Chuang still arguing with Qi Lin and even saw him stand up as if he were about to fight her, but the nearby police officers quickly stopped him.

Watching Qiang Wei and A Jie gradually walk away, Jiang Ming thought of Qiang Wei's Space-Time Gene and her ability to travel through wormholes. He could not help feeling eager to try it himself. He had been in the Super God World for so long, yet he had never witnessed the special abilities possessed by this world's high-tech genetic lifeforms. Even at his current realm, he could not freely travel through wormholes, which showed just how vast the differences between systems and worlds were.

With that thought, the aura within him gradually spread toward Qiang Wei. Qiang Wei seemed to sense an unprecedented pressure approaching, one that was still intensifying. Her face gradually turned pale.

She turned toward the source of the pressure and glanced back. Jiang Ming promptly withdrew his slowly spreading aura and calmly walked toward Qi Lin.

A Jie looked at Qiang Wei, who had suddenly stopped and turned around, in confusion. "Qiang Wei, what's wrong?"

"Nothing. Let's go." Unable to find the source, Qiang Wei assumed it had only been an illusion and replied to A Jie.

When they reached the car, Qiang Wei suddenly said to A Jie, "That guy inside who was shouting and throwing his weight around was Liu Chuang, right?"

A Jie nodded at Qiang Wei. He had been watching Liu Chuang for a long time and knew his conduct very well. What A Jie had not expected was that Liu Chuang would end up fighting with Ge Xiaolun.

"Let him squat in the station for a few days and reflect on himself properly." Hearing that, Qiang Wei did not want to bail Liu Chuang out immediately.

"Um, who are you people?" Ge Xiaolun asked as he looked at the two people who had gotten him out but had not said a word.

"You? You acted bravely for a just cause; the surveillance footage caught it all. Go home and rest first. Ah... in a few days, we'll have another chance to meet," A Jie said, patting Ge Xiaolun on the shoulder.

"We specialize in dealing with people like you," A Jie added suddenly from inside the car, speaking through the window to Ge Xiaolun.

"People like us? Some kind of fortune-teller bureau?" Ge Xiaolun asked instinctively.

A Jie smiled faintly, shook his head, and said to Ge Xiaolun, "Remember to wait for news."

With that, he stepped on the gas.

The car sped away in a cloud of dust, leaving only a trail of exhaust behind.

Ge Xiaolun looked at the departing vehicle and thought, They didn't even leave a number. How am I supposed to contact them?

After saying that, he headed toward the school.
