Dead Man

In the morning, a little after seven, Jiang Hou sat at the dining table, slowly eating breakfast.

Today's breakfast was porridge with steamed buns, and a small dish of pickles.

However, Jiang Hou's movements seemed a bit careful, because earlier, when he was washing his face and brushing his teeth, he accidentally used too much force and broke the toothbrush.

With a Strength stat of nearly 30, equivalent to three times that of an ordinary person, his grip strength was probably between 150 and 200 kilograms, which wasn't too exaggerated.

But this power had surged suddenly, leaving him no time to get used to it, so Jiang Hou would accidentally use too much force and break small things if he wasn't careful.

Across from Jiang Hou, Qin Siyu was breaking a steamed bun into small pieces, saying,

"Jiang Hou, I've already packed your lunch for you. Don't forget to take it when you leave."

"Okay," Jiang Hou nodded.

"Alright, I'm full. Remember to clean up later." The girl put the last small piece of steamed bun into her mouth, then clapped her small hands and stood up.

Today, the girl was wearing a white long-sleeved shirt, with a red plaid skirt that covered her knees, and black leggings underneath, making her 1.65-meter frame appear curvy.

Her hair was tied into a loose ponytail with a white bow, with several white ribbons hanging down, fluttering and lively.

The bangs on her forehead were also carefully combed, hanging on both sides of her ears, covering her eyebrows in the middle, making her already pretty face even more delicate and beautiful.

Compared to Qin Siyu's girl's school uniform, Jiang Hou's boy's school uniform was a bit ordinary.

Straight black trousers, with a white shirt on top, not ugly, but only passable, not as good-looking and figure-flattering as the girl's school uniform.

Jiang Hou sighed with emotion, "Our Siyu is getting more and more beautiful, and so virtuous. I wonder which lucky guy will be able to marry you in a few years."

The girl didn't say anything to Jiang Hou's praise, but the slightly raised corners of her mouth showed that she was in a good mood.

"Huh!"

As Qin Siyu was about to turn around and leave, she suddenly made a soft sound of surprise, turning her head to look at Jiang Hou's face.

Jiang Hou, who was being stared at by her, touched his cheek, a little puzzled, "What's wrong? Is my face not clean?"

The girl was a little strange, "Jiang Hou, I've noticed that the acne on your face seems to be gone, and your skin has become a little whiter. You look a lot better."

"Oh, it should be because I've been sleeping early recently," Jiang Hou said calmly, making up an excuse.

"Is that so?"

The girl was a little suspicious, "I also go to bed early and get up early every day, why don't I have such a big change?"

Jiang Hou was speechless, "...You play with your phone until eleven or twelve o'clock every day. Although you get up very early in the morning, that only counts as getting up early."

"Okay, let's not talk about this."

To avoid Jiang Hou's lecture, the girl decisively changed the subject, "Do you want to go get your hair cut? This messy look is a bit depressing, not sunny at all."

Because he hadn't had a haircut in more than two months, Jiang Hou's hair had already covered his ears, and the fragmented bangs on his forehead covered half of his eyes.

This style was very common in high school, usually among students who were okay at studying, but not very active and a bit nerdy.

"No, it's a waste of money, and why do I need to be so sunny? I'm not looking for a girlfriend," Jiang Hou refused decisively.

Now he just wanted to study extraordinary power in a low-key manner, and had no interest in anything else. Sudden changes were likely to attract attention, whether at home or at school.

"Tch~ I can't be bothered with you."

Seeing that Jiang Hou didn't want to cut his hair, Qin Siyu had no choice but to turn around and go back to her room.

The national power of the countries in this world is strong, and the development is very good. Therefore, the domestic education atmosphere is relatively relaxed, not as competitive as in Jiang Hou's previous life.

The same is true for high schools, there are no early morning or evening self-study sessions. Classes start at eight in the morning and end at four thirty in the afternoon.

After school, those who are willing to participate in school activities can join activities, gather together to form interest clubs, or go home to continue studying or play games.

High school graduates with good grades go to university, while those who don't study well choose to attend vocational schools, learning a professional skill to make it easier to enter society in the future.

Because of the social atmosphere, attending vocational schools is not looked down upon.

Moreover, these schools have cooperation contracts with major local companies and factories. As long as students are not too stupid, they can enter factories or companies in their field of study after graduation.

At the same time, because sixteen years old is considered an adult in this country, a small number of high school students who do not want to study can directly look for work after graduation.

In the end, they take a few less detours.

Just as Jiang Hou was thinking wildly, the morning news broadcast on the living room TV suddenly caught his attention.

"Last night at midnight, a terrible home invasion and murder occurred in the riverside villa area of our city."

"Around one o'clock in the morning, Zhang Mou entered the home of the victim, Li Mou, with a sharp weapon, and brutally harmed his family, resulting in three deaths and one injury."

"At the first moment of the incident, law enforcement officers quickly arrived at the scene and surrounded Zhang Mou, who was preparing to escape."

"During the arrest, because Zhang Mou resisted arrest and held a dangerous weapon, law enforcement officers fired a warning shot and then decisively opened fire, subduing him."

"However, although the vital points were avoided, Zhang Mou died of excessive blood loss before reaching the hospital because the bullet hit the femoral artery."

"At the same time, under Zhang Mou's resistance, four brave law enforcement officers suffered varying degrees of injury and are currently receiving treatment in the hospital."

"According to preliminary investigations, the cause of this crime was that Li Mou injured Zhang Mou's father a month ago and refused to pay for medical and other compensation expenses."

"This matter had a great impact on the nineteen-year-old Zhang Mou, who couldn't bear it for a while, and ultimately led to this incident."

"Therefore, Nan Nan advises the general public to remain calm when encountering problems, and not to harm themselves and their families because of temporary impulses..."

This news sounded like an ordinary home invasion and murder case, but what attracted Jiang Hou's attention was one of the shots.

In the picture, the villa gate was wide open, and one of the doors was lying on the ground, cut in half diagonally from the middle.

The break in the iron gate was smooth and straight, and one could imagine how sharp the weapon that cut open the gate was, it was more than enough to describe it as cutting iron like mud.

Or rather, such a sharp divine weapon does not exist under normal circumstances in this world, unless... it is a transcendent weapon from another world.

Thinking of this, Jiang Hou's expression became slightly solemn.

Sure enough, he was not the only one who had a magical encounter last night, there were others who entered that dangerous world and obtained extraordinary power.

However, judging from the performance, this person should have obtained a powerful weapon.

Moreover, this person named Zhang Mou has a very impulsive personality. At the first moment of obtaining extraordinary power, he had murderous intentions and went to the home of Li Mou, who he had a grudge against.

Although suppressed by the world, Zhang Mou, who possessed extraordinary power, not only killed his enemy, but also injured four people under the siege of law enforcement officers holding guns before being killed.

However, Jiang Hou felt that before going to seek revenge, Zhang Mou might not have discovered that this world would suppress supernatural powers, which is why he was surrounded by law enforcement officers.

Otherwise, even if they couldn't win, they would choose to escape as soon as possible.

"Jiang Hou, you're still eating? It's already 7:30."

"I'll finish eating soon, Siyu, you go ahead, no need to wait for me." Jiang Hou came back to his senses and waved to the girl with the pink backpack.

Although both were in their final year of high school, they didn't attend the same school.

However, in Wing City, the style of school uniforms for all public schools is uniform, with only the school badge on the left chest being different, so the styles of their school uniforms are similar.
