Morning.

His powerful internal clock woke Wang Ye.

"Can't go to school now."

After washing up, Wang Ye muttered to himself, lost in thought.

He suddenly realized he had nothing to do for the moment.

In his past life, as a member of an A-Class Squad, he was busy with various supernatural events every day.

Although this life was much more peaceful, now that even school had a supernatural incident, this eerie sense of tranquility made Wang Ye feel somewhat at a loss.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Wang Ye froze for a moment. Things were happening.

He hadn't expected these guys to be so quick. As expected, if they could be upgraded to an A-Class Squad later, their captain wouldn't be an idiot.

Thinking this, Wang Ye regained his composure and opened the door.

Outside the door, a burly man in a suit looked at Wang Ye with a scrutinizing gaze.

"Are you Wang Ye?"

Seeing Wang Ye's unchanged expression, the burly man couldn't help but ask.

"I am."

Wang Ye returned to his room, took a can of cola from the refrigerator, took a sip, and sat on the sofa. "Come in and sit down."

"Aren't you curious about who I am?"

The burly man was silent for a moment, then walked in and asked Wang Ye.

"If I don't ask, you'll tell me anyway, won't you?"

Wang Ye said calmly, with a faint smile on his lips. In his previous life, he had dealt with people from the Heavenly Group too much; he knew this organization like the back of his hand.

Therefore, Wang Ye could even guess what this guy would say next.

"..."

"My name is Sun Qian, from the Heavenly Group."

Sun Qian admitted that in this brief encounter, he had lost completely.

So, he directly introduced his identity.

"Oh? What is the Heavenly Group?"

Wang Ye took a sip of cola and asked indifferently.

Although he knew the Heavenly Group very well, he absolutely couldn't show it right now.

Because, he was currently just an ordinary person.

Or rather, an ordinary student.

His calmness when facing the supernatural incident before could be attributed to him being calm in the face of adversity, a talented individual.

But if he knew the Heavenly Group like the back of his hand, that was not something Wang Ye could achieve at the moment, unless he exposed the fact that he had been reborn.

The Heavenly Group

was very suspicious; any uncertain factor would be strictly controlled.

"After the Eternal Night, the terror revived."

"The government established the Heavenly Group to handle supernatural events."

"Similarly, they are also responsible for monitoring espers, preventing them from doing anything excessive due to their sudden awakening abilities and inflated egos."

Sun Qian found that he couldn't fathom the depth of the person in front of him at all. He believed that if he didn't proactively reveal some information, this young man would not pay him any attention.

"But I'm just an ordinary person."

Wang Ye put down the cola in his hand and looked deeply at Sun Qian.

Sun Qian nodded. "That's right. Although you are just an ordinary person, through the 'Water Drop Incident'—sorry, that's the file name we gave to the supernatural event you experienced yesterday."

"We found that you are very calm when facing events and have a good understanding of supernatural incidents."

"Various supernatural problems are breaking out everywhere now, and we are short-handed. In other words, we need talented people."

Sun Qian looked at Wang Ye seriously, his tone full of sincerity.

But Wang Ye refused without hesitation. "Are you planning to send me, an ordinary person, to solve supernatural events? Or, can I consider you to be attempting murder?"

Wang Ye looked at Sun Qian and said indifferently.

"We also have many support roles, not necessarily on the front lines."

"Moreover, every time you cooperate and complete a mission, you will earn corresponding points."

"And points..."

"Symbolize greater strength, or endless wealth and power."

Sun Qian seemed to have anticipated Wang Ye's response, answering his question.

Wang Ye, however, shook his head. "I believe you should have the ability to look up my file. I'm not short on money."

"Besides, ghosts have all sorts of bizarre killing patterns."

"The staff in the rear aren't exactly safe, are they?"

"I could even die inexplicably because of a recording sent back by an ability user from the front lines."

"I believe that even if I agree now, you'll still assess me. So there's no point in saying all this, is there?"

Listening to Wang Ye's words, Sun Qian fell silent.

After reading his file, he had thought this would be a simple task.

Once they arrived, he'd state his background and express the Heavenly Group's desire to recruit him.

This young man would then excitedly follow him.

But what Sun Qian hadn't expected was that ever since he entered the room, Wang Ye had controlled the entire situation, leaving Sun Qian only able to react passively.

"..."

"You're right."

After a long silence, Sun Qian nodded. "I believe for someone like you, nothing I say will change your mind."

"So, are you coming with me?"

Sun Qian had given up trying to persuade him. In his opinion, someone like Wang Ye possessed strong autonomy and wouldn't be easily manipulated.

"Of course."

To Sun Qian's surprise, he had been ready to give up, but Wang Ye agreed.

Sun Qian found this young man to be far too naive.

For someone like Wang Ye, wealth no longer held any interest.

But there was one thing Wang Ye couldn't achieve on his own.

Information!

All sorts of information!

If Wang Ye were to act alone, there were certain things he would never have the right to know.

Like the public cemetery on the outskirts of town.

He never wanted a repeat of similar incidents.

Moreover, in seven days, he would send out his second letter. Without a powerful source of intelligence, he might suffer even greater losses.

This was also why he agreed to join the Heavenly Group.

"I have only one condition."

"I want high-level intelligence access."

Wang Ye looked at Sun Qian and said calmly, "If you agree, I'll go with you for the assessment to prove my worth."

Sun Qian gave Wang Ye a deep look. He realized that in just ten minutes, this young man had shocked him time and time again.

In Sun Qian's eyes, Wang Ye was becoming increasingly mysterious.

"I need to report this."

Sun Qian was silent for a few seconds before speaking. He then took out his phone and, turning towards the door, made a call.

One minute later.

"Alright."

Sun Qian hung up the phone, returned to the room, and looked at Wang Ye. "They've approved your request."

"Correspondingly, the assessment difficulty has been raised to B-Class."

"I hope you've thought this through. B-Class assessments are prepared for ability users."

"Your chances of passing are slim."

Sun Qian was being honest.

Wang Ye, however, nodded calmly. "To gain resources, one must prove their value. That's reasonable."

"Let's go."
