Morning.
Driven by his powerful body clock, Wang Ye opened his eyes.
"I can't go to school."
After washing up, Wang Ye muttered to himself, somewhat dazed.
It suddenly occurred to him that, for the moment, he had nothing to do.
In his previous life, as a member of an A-Class Squad, he had been busy dealing with all kinds of Supernatural Incidents every day.
This life was much more peaceful, but now that even the school had suffered a Supernatural Incident, this strange sense of ease left Wang Ye feeling at a loss.
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.
Wang Ye froze for a moment. Something had come up.
He had not expected these people to move so quickly. As expected, the captain of a squad that could later rise to become Squad A would not be an idiot.
With that thought, Wang Ye regained his composure and opened the door.
Outside stood a burly man in a suit, studying Wang Ye with a scrutinizing gaze.
"Are you Wang Ye?"
Seeing that Wang Ye's expression had not changed at all, the burly man could not help asking.
"That's me."
Wang Ye returned to the room, casually took a can of cola from the refrigerator, drank a sip, and sat down on the sofa. "Come in and have a seat."
"You aren't curious who I am?"
The burly man fell silent for a moment, then walked in and looked at Wang Ye.
"Even if I don't ask, you'll tell me anyway, won't you?"
A faint, almost imperceptible smile played on Wang Ye's lips as he spoke calmly. In his previous life, he had dealt with the Heaven Group too many times. He knew that organization better than anyone.
So well, in fact, that Wang Ye could even guess what this man would say next.
"..."
"My name is Sun Qian. I'm from the Heaven Group."
Sun Qian admitted that in this brief exchange, he had been thoroughly defeated.
So he simply introduced himself.
"Oh? What is the Heaven Group?"
Wang Ye took a sip of cola and asked blandly.
Though he knew the Heaven Group extremely well, he absolutely could not show it right now.
Because at present, he was merely an ordinary person.
Or rather, an ordinary student.
His calmness in the face of the previous Supernatural Incident could still be explained as keeping cool under pressure, as a sign of talent.
But if he knew everything about the Heaven Group as well, that was not something Wang Ye could possibly do at present—unless he exposed the fact that he had been reborn.
The Heaven Group
was highly suspicious by nature. Any uncertain factor would be placed under strict control.
"After Eternal Night, Terror Resurgence began."
"The authorities formed the Heaven Group to handle Supernatural Incidents."
"At the same time, we monitor Superhumans, preventing them from becoming inflated after suddenly awakening their abilities and doing something out of line."
Sun Qian realized he could not read the depths of the person before him at all. He believed that if he did not take the initiative to reveal some information, this young man would not bother with him at all.
"But I'm just an ordinary person."
Wang Ye put down his cola, gave Sun Qian a deep look, and spoke.
Sun Qian nodded. "That's right. Although you're just an ordinary person, through the 'Water Drop Incident'—sorry, that's the archival name we gave yesterday's Supernatural Incident."
"We discovered that you remained very calm when faced with trouble, and that you know a great deal about Supernatural Incidents."
"All kinds of supernatural problems are breaking out everywhere now, and we're short on manpower. In other words, we need talent."
Sun Qian looked earnestly at Wang Ye, his tone full of sincerity.
But Wang Ye refused without hesitation. "Do you intend to send an ordinary person like me to resolve Supernatural Incidents? Or should I take this as attempted murder?"
Wang Ye looked at Sun Qian and spoke blandly.
"We have many positions in the rear as well. You don't necessarily have to rush to the front lines."
"Besides, every time you cooperate in completing a mission, you'll receive the corresponding points."
"And points..."
"Represent greater strength, or endless wealth and power."
As though he had long expected Wang Ye to say this, Sun Qian answered his questions.
But Wang Ye shook his head. "I believe you have the means to look up my records. I'm not short on money."
"And the rules by which ghosts kill are endlessly varied."
"You can't say that staff working in the rear are safe either."
"Even a recording sent back from the front by a Superhuman could cause me to die for no reason at all."
"I believe that even if I agreed right now, you would still assess me. So there's no point in saying any of this now, is there?"
Hearing Wang Ye's words, Sun Qian fell silent.
After reading the file, he had thought this would be a simple task.
He would come here, explain his background, and express the Heaven Group's desire to recruit him.
Then this young man would eagerly follow him away.
But what Sun Qian had not expected was that ever since he entered the door, Wang Ye had controlled the entire pace of the conversation, while he could only respond passively.
"..."
"You're right."
After a long silence, Sun Qian nodded. "For someone like you, I believe nothing I say will change the decision in your heart."
"So, will you come with me?"
Sun Qian had already given up trying to persuade him. In his view, someone like Wang Ye possessed a strong sense of independence and would not be easily controlled.
"Of course."
To Sun Qian's surprise, just as he was prepared to give up, Wang Ye agreed.
This Sun Qian was simply far too inexperienced in Wang Ye's eyes.
For someone like Wang Ye, things like wealth could no longer interest him.
But there was one thing Wang Ye could not obtain.
Information!
All kinds of news and intelligence!
If Wang Ye remained alone, there were some things he would never be qualified to know.
Like the Suburban Cemetery.
He never wanted something like that to happen again.
Moreover, in seven days, he would send out his second letter. Without a powerful source of intelligence, he would likely suffer even greater losses.
That was why he agreed to join the Heaven Group.
"I have only one condition."
"I want high-level intelligence access."
Wang Ye looked at Sun Qian and said blandly, "If you agree, I'll go with you for the assessment and prove my worth."
Sun Qian gave Wang Ye a deep look. He realized that in just ten minutes, this young man had shocked him again and again.
In his eyes, Wang Ye became increasingly mysterious.
"I'll report it."
Sun Qian was silent for several seconds before speaking. He then took out his phone, turned around at the doorway, and made a call.
One minute later.
"Alright."
Sun Qian hung up and returned to the room. Looking at Wang Ye, he said, "The higher-ups have agreed to your request."
"Accordingly, the difficulty of your assessment has been raised to B-Class."
"I hope you think it through carefully. B-Class assessments are meant for Superhumans."
"Your chances of passing are very low."
Sun Qian was very honest.
But Wang Ye merely nodded calmly. "If you want resources, you have to prove your worth. That's reasonable."
"Let's go."
