Crimson Hunt Squad

Shangjing City.

"Students, today we are honored to have Zhang Kai, a famous member of the Crimson Ghost Hunt Squad, here to give you this lesson on the supernatural. Please welcome him with a round of applause."

As the teacher finished speaking, a somewhat lazy-looking young man walked to the podium with a bored expression.

"Wow, it's actually the Crimson Ghost Hunt Squad!"

"They should already be B-Class, right?"

A group of students looked toward the door excitedly, their faces filled with anticipation.

In the corner of the classroom, Wang Ye listened to the teacher, a trace of reminiscence flashing through his eyes.

The Crimson Hunt Squad?

They could be considered a pretty decent team. In his memories, this squad had eventually reached A-Class, only to suffer a disastrous defeat in a Supernatural Incident and be wiped out.

The incident had caused quite a stir at the time.

"First of all, as someone directly involved, I think teaching you is completely meaningless."

Zhang Kai's very first sentence left every student frozen in place.

"If it weren't for that pitiful one point, I would never have appeared here in my life."

"Perhaps in the near future, you'll become nothing more than corpses."

"Of course, if you're lucky enough to survive a Supernatural Incident, you may still need us to rescue you, becoming dead weight."

"You might even get Superhumans killed because of yourselves."

"That is the value of ordinary people like you."

Zhang Kai's cold words echoed continuously throughout the classroom.

The students beneath the podium all turned pale.

In the corner, Wang Ye nodded as he listened to Zhang Kai. In Supernatural Incidents, ordinary people were nothing but burdens. If they were smart, obedient, and able to follow orders, that was still manageable.

But if all they did was hide in a corner, scream, and cry their eyes out—

Then they were simply harming everyone else.

Their very existence could cause an entire rescue operation to fail, even resulting in total annihilation.

That was why the policy had later been revised.

If such a situation occurred, they could be abandoned directly. When necessary, they could even be killed to ensure the survival of the majority.

It sounded cruel, but in the age of Terror Resurgence, that was reality.

"So, what I can teach you is this: if a Supernatural Incident occurs, know your place. As long as you don't hold anyone back, that is already the greatest help you can offer Superhumans."

Hearing Zhang Kai's words, a boy beneath the podium could not help standing up. He asked indignantly, "You're looking down on us too much! What makes you say we're burdens?"

"What makes me?"

Zhang Kai gradually shed his lazy demeanor. His gaze turned razor-sharp as he stared fixedly at the boy.

"Because you can still live safely in this school, spouting such childish nonsense!"

As he spoke, Zhang Kai suddenly slammed a palm onto the podium. A ghostly green light glowed in his eyes as he stared coldly at the boy.

The sudden change instantly frightened the boy who had stood up. His face went pale, and he stood there helplessly, not knowing what to do.

Looking at the terrified students in the classroom, disappointment flashed through Zhang Kai's eyes.

Were these people the so-called future?

If the future was in the hands of people like them, would this world still exist?

The next second, Wang Ye in the corner entered Zhang Kai's field of vision.

Zhang Kai's actions seemed to have had no effect on Wang Ye at all. He still sat calmly in the corner, waiting for Zhang Kai to continue.

"Interesting."

Zhang Kai's gaze swept over Wang Ye.

This was an interesting little fellow.

But in Zhang Kai's eyes, he was interesting, at most.

"That's all I have to say. I hope you cherish this hard-won life of yours."

After saying that, Zhang Kai returned to his previous lazy state and listlessly left the classroom.

In the corner.

A thoughtful look flashed through Wang Ye's eyes.

Sure enough, not everything would proceed exactly as it had in his previous life.

As long as he changed his actions, his experiences would differ from his previous life as well.

If that was the case, then he—

Could he avoid dying?

In his previous life, he had never awakened the Superhuman ability within his body. Yet, as an ordinary person, he had forced his way into becoming a member of an A-Class Hunt Squad.

In the eyes of many ordinary people, Wang Ye had always been an idol-like figure.

But in the end, an ordinary person was still just an ordinary person.

No matter how calm he was, how intelligent he was, or how skilled he was in combat, he was still so powerless before high-level Supernatural Incidents.

Heaven had given him a chance to live again, but—

He was still just an ordinary person.

A bitter smile appeared on Wang Ye's lips. In his previous life, he had been tested countless times. There was absolutely no possibility of him awakening a Superhuman ability.

Just as Wang Ye was deep in thought—

Zhang Kai, who had just left, backed into the classroom with a serious expression.

"I'm honored to inform everyone that we've been dragged into a Supernatural Incident."

"I've requested backup from the captain. What we need to do now is survive for the next thirty minutes."

"Good luck."

Just as the students fell into a daze, the lights suddenly went out.

The entire classroom was plunged into darkness.

"..."

Wang Ye leaned against the corner speechlessly and sighed helplessly.

He had only come to this school in the neighboring city after transferring here to conduct an experiment. Had something like this happened already?

Had this school experienced a Supernatural Incident in his previous life?

Wang Ye had no impression of it whatsoever.

After all, there were simply too many Supernatural Incidents every year.

Moreover, under the current circumstances, transportation and communication between cities were both extremely cumbersome.

In the darkness, Zhang Kai's cold voice rang out again.

"Current supernatural index: unknown."

"Ability: unknown."

"If you don't want to die, I suggest you hide in a corner, close your eyes, don't speak, don't move, and don't make a sound."

"Only then can you maximize your chances of avoiding mistakes."

"Of course, if you want to die, be my guest."

After he finished speaking, sobbing and panicked voices rose from the darkness.

Zhang Kai seemed to have expected that the students would not obediently follow his instructions. He showed no surprise, only a faint green glow in his eyes.

This was his awakened ability.

Green Radiance.

In the corner, Wang Ye helplessly slung his backpack over his shoulder. He had not expected to be caught up in a Supernatural Incident so soon after being reborn.

With his current physical condition, he was still far too weak.

Surviving on his own would be difficult.

With a sigh, a map of the classroom appeared in Wang Ye's mind.

As an ordinary person, if he could not even remember the basic layout, then he was not worthy of joining an A-Class Squad.

Very quickly, he expertly dodged the desks and chairs and arrived beside Zhang Kai.

"Buddy, need another teammate?"

"Take me with you."

In the darkness, Wang Ye looked in the direction where Zhang Kai had last appeared in his memories and spoke calmly.
