In Shangjing City.
"Class, today we are honored to have Zhang Kai, a member of the renowned Crimson Ghost Hunt Squad, to give us a lecture on supernatural phenomena. Please welcome him with applause."
As the teacher's voice faded, a young man who looked somewhat listless walked onto the stage with a bored expression.
"Wow, it's actually the Crimson Ghost Hunt Squad!"
"They must be B-Class by now!"
A group of students looked excitedly towards the doorway.
In the corner of the classroom, Wang Ye listened to the teacher's voice, a flicker of memory flashing in his eyes.
Crimson Hunt Squad?
They were probably a decent team. In his memory, that squad eventually became A-Class, but they were wiped out in a supernatural event.
That incident caused quite a stir at the time.
"First off, as someone directly involved, I find teaching you all completely pointless."
Zhang Kai's opening statement stunned all the students.
"If it weren't for a measly 1 point, I would never have shown up here in my life."
"Perhaps in the near future, you will all become corpses."
"Of course, if you are lucky enough to survive a supernatural event, you might need our rescue and become a burden."
"Worse, because of you, ability users might even sacrifice themselves."
"This is your value as ordinary people."
Zhang Kai's cold words echoed through the classroom.
The students below the stage all turned pale.
In the corner, Wang Ye nodded as he listened to Zhang Kai. In supernatural events, ordinary people were completely a burden. If they were smart and obedient, and could follow orders, it was fine.
But if they only knew how to hide in corners and scream, crying...
That was simply endangering others.
It was even possible for one person's presence to cause an entire rescue operation to fail, or even lead to a team's annihilation.
So, later on, policies were revised.
If such a situation occurred, they could be directly abandoned, and if necessary, even eliminated, to ensure the survival of the majority.
Although it sounded cruel, in the era of the Terror Resurgence, this was reality.
"Therefore, all I can teach you is that if a supernatural event occurs, understand your position and don't be a drag. That's already the greatest help you can provide to ability users."
Listening to Zhang Kai, a male student below the stage couldn't help but stand up and ask indignantly, "You look down on us too much! Why do you say we're a burden?"
"Why?"
Zhang Kai gradually shed his listless demeanor, his gaze sharp as a knife, fixed on the student.
"Because you can still live safely in school right now, saying such childish things!"
As he spoke, Zhang Kai slammed his palm onto the podium, his eyes flashing with a faint green light as he stared coldly at the student.
The sudden turn of events made the student who had stood up turn ashen, frozen in place, unsure of what to do.
Seeing the terrified students in the classroom, a hint of disappointment flashed in Zhang Kai's eyes.
Are these people the so-called future?
With these people holding the future, will this world still exist?
The next second, Wang Ye in the corner caught Zhang Kai's attention.
Zhang Kai's actions seemed to have no effect on Wang Ye, who continued to sit calmly in the corner, waiting for Zhang Kai to continue speaking.
"Interesting."
Zhang Kai's gaze swept over Wang Ye.
This is an interesting little guy.
But in Zhang Kai's eyes, he was at most just "interesting."
"That's all I have to say. I hope you can all enjoy this hard-earned life."
After speaking, Zhang Kai resumed his previous listless appearance and left the classroom weakly.
In the corner.
A thoughtful look flashed in Wang Ye's eyes.
As expected, not everything would proceed according to plan like in his previous life.
As long as he made changes to his actions, his experiences would also be different from his previous life.
If that's the case, could he...
Could he avoid dying?
In his past life, he never awakened the abilities within him, but as an ordinary person, he managed to become a member of an A-Class Hunt Squad.
To many ordinary people, Wang Ye was an idol.
But in the end, an ordinary person is still an ordinary person.
No matter how calm they were in a crisis, how high their intelligence, or how strong their combat skills, they were still powerless in the face of high-level supernatural events.
Heaven had given him a chance to live again, but...
He was still an ordinary person after all.
A bitter smile touched Wang Ye's lips. In his past life, he had tested himself countless times; there was no possibility of him awakening any abilities.
As Wang Ye was deep in thought.
Zhang Kai, who had left earlier, returned to the classroom with a solemn expression.
"I'm honored to tell you all that we've been caught up in a supernatural event."
"I've already requested rescue from the captain. Now, all we need to do is survive for the next 30 minutes."
"Good luck to you all."
As the students stood there in a daze, the lights suddenly went out.
The entire classroom plunged into darkness.
Wang Ye leaned against the corner, sighing helplessly.
He had just transferred to a school in the next city to conduct an experiment, and this happened?
Had there been a supernatural event at this school in his past life?
Wang Ye had no recollection of it.
After all, too many supernatural events occurred every year.
Moreover, in the current environment, transportation and information dissemination between cities were extremely cumbersome.
In the darkness, Zhang Kai's cold voice echoed again.
"Current supernatural index: Unknown."
"Abilities: Unknown."
"If you don't want to die, I suggest you hide in a corner, close your eyes, don't speak, don't move, don't make a sound."
"Only by doing this can you maximize your chances of not making mistakes."
"Of course... if you want to court death, be my guest."
After he finished speaking, sounds of sobbing and commotion came from the darkness.
Zhang Kai seemed to have anticipated that these students wouldn't follow his instructions obediently. It was no surprise, as a faint green light emanated from his eyes.
This was his awakened ability.
Green Radiance.
In the corner, Wang Ye reluctantly shouldered his backpack. He hadn't expected to be caught in a supernatural event right after being reborn.
His current physical condition was still very poor...
Surviving alone would still be difficult.
He sighed, and a map of the classroom appeared in his mind.
As an ordinary person, if he couldn't even remember the basic layout, he wouldn't be worthy of joining an A-Class Squad.
Soon, he skillfully dodged tables and chairs and approached Zhang Kai.
"Buddy, need someone to team up with?"
"Take me with you."
In the darkness, Wang Ye looked in the direction where Zhang Kai had last appeared in his memory and said calmly.
