Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!
Chapter 167: Where Did This Big Shot Come From?
CHAPTER 167: CHAPTER 167: WHERE DID THIS BIG SHOT COME FROM?
Ji Ning’s ears twitched slightly, and her vast spiritual power quickly locked onto the speaker.
Though she didn’t turn around, she had firmly memorized the person’s silhouette, appearance, and aura.
The police station at the airport is right inside the airport, less than 10 minutes’ walk.
But during this short 10-minute walk, the veteran policeman’s back was already drenched.
As if what he was following wasn’t a victim and their family, but a ticking time bomb ready to explode at any moment.
Ji Ning didn’t realize that superpower users were so terrifying in the eyes of ordinary people.
This just shows the vast gap between superpower users and ordinary people now. Ordinary people don’t know that superpower users’ abilities vary significantly; some are useful and some are just showy.
Take Huang Ying, for instance, her superpower is rapid facial change, commonly known as fast face-changing. It can be very useful in certain aspects, but compared to Ji Ning, this superpower is nothing; Ji Ning could kill her with just one finger.
If it weren’t for Huang Ying’s long-term training and high physical level, she might not even be able to defeat Fu Yuanxuan, who is only an ordinary person. Perhaps she still can’t beat Fu Yuanxuan.
After all, their physical levels are similar; Fu Yuanxuan just hasn’t awakened a superpower.
Ji Ning never felt that there was anything worth bragging about or that made superpower users superior. Superpower users are also humans; they need to eat, drink, and they will age, get sick, and die just the same.
The only difference is the special ability granted by heaven, which is a weapon to protect oneself and others, not a privilege.
The veteran policeman signaled to his colleagues in the police station to invite the leadership, then led them to a spacious conference room.
The table in the conference room was a long one, about three to four meters, where Ji Ning placed Lin Yuanyang to lie down comfortably.
Due to excessive blood loss, Lin Yuanyang’s face was as pale as paper; his consciousness was still there, but his breath was very weak.
Ji Ning used her superpower to keep him alive.
Along this way, Lin Yuanyang bled all the way, and when the superintendent came down from upstairs, he saw the red stains on the floor tiles and frowned tightly, somewhat annoyed.
With such a severe injury, why not rush to the hospital? Why bring him to the police station?
This Lao Du, becoming more and more unreliable in handling things!
These thoughts ran through the superintendent’s mind but were not uttered aloud; he merely instructed other officers to quickly clean the floor to avoid scaring ordinary people coming to the station.
Lao Du looked at the person on the table now covered with white light, trying to suppress the tension and excitement in his heart. He had never seen a superpower user use their power up close in his life.
It was worth it to bring them to the police station under pressure.
"Lao Du, what’s going on?" As soon as the superintendent pushed open the door, Lao Du rushed over, pulling the superintendent into the room while quickly shutting the conference room door, preventing colleagues outside from seeing the situation inside.
The superintendent’s irritation turned to confusion with Lao Du’s action, and seeing the situation on the meeting table, he became dumbstruck, standing there petrified.
"This..."
"Shh—" Lao Du gestured for silence, giving the superintendent a meaningful look.
The superintendent was shocked; although he didn’t interact as little with superpower users as Lao Du did, as a superintendent who oversaw regional security, he often dealt with personnel from special departments of the Security Bureau.
But seeing a superpower user using their powers so closely, and without any intention to conceal her face, was a first.
Is this okay?
Should they report this and sign relevant confidentiality agreements?
The superintendent’s mind went around in circles, pondering what to say next?
"Can I have a cup of warm water." Ji Ning looked towards the two people by the door.
The superintendent hadn’t reacted yet when Lao Du immediately responded, cautiously opened the door, and swiftly dashed out, looking somewhat comical.
Ji Ning wasn’t in the mood to laugh as Lin Yuanyang’s knife wound had finally healed.
The strong smell of blood irritated her, and the higher the level of a superpower user she was, the more sensitive her senses became.
Ordinary people could only smell the scent of blood, but she could smell all the components of Lin Yuanyang’s blood, down to the minutiae of what Lin Yuanyang ate recently.
Beside her, Bai Xiaotang, seeing Ji Ning retract her hand, cautiously asked, "Sister Ning, does Xiao Yang still need to go to the hospital?"
"No need, just take some medicine to replenish blood energy."
Bai Xiaotang let out a long sigh of relief, her legs weakening as she collapsed onto the ground.
The white glow on Lin Yuanyang had not yet dissipated, and his youthful face was bloodless.
If it weren’t for the rise and fall of his chest, he would resemble a corpse.
Ji Ning glanced at her, took out a small bottle from her pocket, and tossed it to her.
"Eat it."
Bai Xiaotang stared at her blankly, her mind seemingly in a maze, before nervously opening the small bottle and tipping the sugar inside into her mouth.
The sweet and cloying taste suppressed the metallic scent at the tip of her nose, slightly easing her unknown fears.
Her mind was a bit chaotic now.
From being attacked on the road, discovering from Aunt Zeng that the masterminds were Chang Ru and Bai Yulin, then Lin Yuanyang being stabbed beside her, finally realizing Ji Ning was a superpower user.
All these things crammed into her brain in these transient hours.
"Comrades, err... is the injured person better?" A sudden male voice seemed loud in the quiet office.
Ji Ning looked over, and the superintendent instantly froze, cold sweat dripping, nervous to the point of digging his toenails into the ground.
"Yes, sorry for messing up the conference room." Ji Ning’s voice was cold, but its content slightly relaxed the superintendent, who lifted a sheepish smile, "It’s all good, it’s all good..."
As he was unsure what else to say, the unreliable Lao Du had finally returned.
He carried a tray borrowed from who-knows-where, upon which several teacups containing water of varying temperatures sat.
Entering as if sneaking, fearful of any onlookers behind.
Even boldly reminded the superintendent to quickly shut the door, giving the impression of covert agents.
Ji Ning was slightly speechless, wondering if they were too jumpy.
"Uh... comrade, here’s the water."
"Thank you." Ji Ning replied politely, walked over, and just as she was about to reach for it, she realized her hand was covered in blood, which had messed up the floor.
"Sorry." Ji Ning apologized.
Suddenly, Lao Du felt a cold chill, and he saw the blood on Ji Ning’s hands solidifying at a visible pace, as if gaining consciousness, detaching itself from Ji Ning’s hands.
A large blood glove fell to the ground with a dull "thud".
Fro... frozen?
Lao Du’s legs suddenly felt weak...
The superintendent, who knew more, was even more shocked beyond words.
Du... dual-powered superpower user?
Where did this powerhouse come from?
"May I ask where you work?" The superintendent even used honorifics.
Superpower users generally have organizational affiliations, either in the Security Bureau or in a noble family. Even a freelance superpower user belongs to the Hunter Alliance; it’s rare to see a lone superpower user.
The superintendent’s first thought was this person must be from a noble family.
If she were from the Security Bureau, he’d have been notified early on.
But he didn’t expect a noble family member to be so bold, not even wearing a mask.
Her backing family must have some nerve.
Ji Ning frowned slightly. Honestly, she didn’t particularly like this feeling, but she couldn’t change their perception of her.
It seems now she has to mention a family.
Ji Ning pulled up Bai Xiaotang, who was still sitting on the floor, "This is Bai Family, and on the table is Lin Family."
Bai Family? Lin Family?
The superintendent’s heart skipped a beat — could it be that Bai Family and Lin Family he was thinking of?
