Shen Run is an office drone.
Fresh out of college, she joined an outsourcing company, working like a beast of burden: two days off a month, phone on 24/7, delayed wages a common occurrence, a...
Chapter 98 Chapter 98 Inferiority Puppy Chi Shuangliu
Although the Giant Scorpion Queen is dead, the bad influence she brought is far from over.
The video and photos of her fight with Shen Run were quickly posted online, causing an uproar around the world at the fastest speed. People demanded an explanation from the authorities, held protests or demonstrations in various places, and asked the authorities to ensure the safety of the people.
In fact, as the number of people with superpowers has gradually increased in recent years, activities related to them have become increasingly frequent. Many people are actually aware of the existence of superpowers, and the fact that superpowers exist cannot be concealed forever. Many official organizations are also considering gradually letting ordinary people accept the fact that there are superpowers in this world.
——But this does not mean that the people can accept the truth being suddenly and unexpectedly revealed to them in such an earth-shattering way.
The scenes of giant beasts fighting each other are fine to watch in movies, but no one can withstand the impact in reality. These days, the public protests are getting louder and louder, and the confrontational sentiments of those with special abilities are getting more and more serious. The two sides are like a taut steel wire, and officials from various countries are busy and overwhelmed.
At the same time, Chen Run also encountered considerable trouble. She revealed her demigod form in the war with the Giant Scorpion Queen. The patrol team had no precedent for hiring non-human creatures, and Chen Run had not reported this matter to them before. Her position really needed to be verified.
So after the war, Chi Shuangliu didn't even have time to say a word to Shen Run. The people from the Disciplinary Supervision Bureau immediately stepped forward and politely asked Shen Run to go back with them to cooperate with the investigation.
Chi Shuangliu briefly wanted to attack, but Yan Xunqing stopped him. "...Don't worry. She just protected the patrol team and so many people. There's nothing wrong with her position. The Supervisory Bureau is just taking her back for a routine investigation into her transformation. Everything will be fine after the investigation. If you attack now, you'll really get her in trouble."
As he spoke, he stood in front of Chi Shuangliu, staring at him intently to prevent him from doing anything extreme.
But Chi Shuangliu was silent for only a few seconds, then took a step back and said coldly, "You'd better investigate this quickly."
At first it was Chen Run, then it was her friends and acquaintances, and later it developed to all social relationships related to her. Unknowingly, he was no longer able to kill and injure people as recklessly as before, but instead adapted to the human social framework and rules system bit by bit.
As if feeling that this statement was not enough of a deterrent, Chi Shuangliu added with a cold face: "If anything happens to her, you know the consequences."
Chi Shuangliu had nowhere else to go, so he returned to the weather-beaten rental house and waited for her to come home.
She was away, and he had nothing else to do. He kept thinking about the look Shen Run had given him before he was taken away.
Would she blame him? Was she angry with him? Would she just ignore him?
These thoughts lingered in his mind, and Chi Shuangliu's anxiety and uneasiness almost reached a critical point, like a large dog about to be abandoned by its owner.
To him, time is preparing three meals a day for her, the disappointment when she leaves for work and the anticipation when she comes home from get off work. When she is not around, time has completely lost its meaning to him.
He didn't know how many days he had been tormented by anxiety and uneasiness. It was not until he heard noisy sounds of fighting and commotion downstairs that Chi Shuangliu briefly returned to reality.
A familiar female voice was mixed in with the noise, and Chi Shuangliu quickly recalled that it was the voice of Sister Chen from the community before - he had an impression of this human being because she was an acquaintance that Chen Run had stamped his name on, and he had a close relationship with her.
Since it was Chenrun Yanxuan, Chi Shuangliu opened the door and went downstairs without hesitation.
The door to the first floor was open, and a large man stood at the door. He was a low-level power user, with unusually well-developed muscles and a fierce expression. "I told you, don't bother me!"
As he spoke, he raised his fist, as if he was about to attack again.
Sister Chen was pushed to the ground while wearing a social worker vest. She was still lying on the ground, catching the cold air and unable to react.
Chi Shuangliu moved his fingers, forcibly suppressing the urge to kill people at random, and just looked up at the muscular man.
High-level psychics have absolute dominance over low-level psychics, not to mention that Chi Shuangliu is the source of all psychics. The muscular man was frightened to death at the sight of this, his legs softened, and he knelt down.
The muscular man knew that a strong man who was not easy to deal with had come, so he didn't dare to bully the weak anymore and closed the door in a panic.
Chi Shuangliu hesitated for a moment, then walked down the stairs. He grabbed Sister Chen by her vest with one hand and lifted her up. "...Are you okay?"
Fortunately, Sister Chen didn't mind his plastic bag-like posture. She patted the dirt off him and thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you very much. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be here today..."
She raised her head and said, "Are you Xiaorun's boyfriend?"
Chi Shuangliu nodded: "What's going on?"
"Have you read the news about the superpowers? If it weren't for the official news release, I would never have believed that something like this could happen in a movie."
Sister Chen still looked incredulous as she grumbled to Chi Shuangliu, "With the recent incident involving people with special abilities, ordinary people are feeling uneasy. To appease everyone, the authorities have assigned tasks to our neighborhood and community. They're having people go door to door to count the number of people with special abilities and their special abilities. But as you know, people have been quite hostile lately, and there have been quite a few conflicts during the counting process. Our community is relatively good, but I heard there was a major conflict in the family compound next door. Fortunately, the patrol team stepped in in time to suppress it, and even that resulted in quite a few people being hospitalized."
She sighed, "Life is getting harder and harder. I feel like I have my head tied to my belt every day. I also heard that there might be a war soon. What are ordinary people like us going to do..."
After intuitively realizing how big a mess he had caused, Chi Shuangliu fell silent again.
In fact, until now, he still has no guilt towards the human race. He is just afraid that Chen Run will change his attitude towards him because of this.
Will she hate him from now on and never talk to him again?
Will she regret meeting him or even plan to abandon him?
As soon as he thought of this possibility, Chi Shuangliu panicked to the extreme, his eyeballs rolled rapidly and uncontrollably, and dense blue veins bulged on his cheeks - fortunately Sister Chen had left by now, otherwise he would be scared to death just by looking at him like this.
He even began to regret why he was a monster. If he was just an ordinary human, would she not hate him?
Chi Shuangliu's abilities went out of control along with his emotions, and the stairwell was filled with countless wriggling and entangled shadows.
The second-hand old phone in his pocket rang - Yan Xunqing sent a message: The investigation is over, Chen Run left the Supervision Bureau yesterday, she has no problems, you can rest assured.
Before Chi Shuangliu had time to be happy, he suddenly keenly caught a key word - 'yesterday'.
Since she had already finished her investigation yesterday, why hadn't she gone home today?
When I am emotionally sensitive, I always tend to think the worst of things.
Has she started to distance herself from him and even no longer wants to see him?
Chi Shuangliu's lips were almost pressed into a line, and the phone made a creaking sound when it was squeezed.
......
In fact, Chen Run really didn't have time to be angry with Chi Shuangliu. After the Supervisory Bureau found out that there was no problem with her position, she immediately threw herself into a huge amount of work.
Just this morning, General Yan convened an emergency meeting with all the senior members of the patrol team. "The matter of the superpowers has been made public. Just the day before yesterday, superpower organizations from various countries also held an online meeting to discuss a plan. The plan has been finalized and will be implemented next month."
The exposure of the superpowered person was more or less related to her. Chen Run asked closely: "What's the plan?"
General Yan gave her a look, signaling her to calm down. He then said, "Actually, you don't have to worry too much. It's only a matter of time before people with special abilities are exposed. Over the years, we've implemented a number of emergency measures and unified plans. Not every country has a patrol team targeting special abilities like we do. However, special abilities require unified regulations and management. The final plan is to establish a unified executive officer in each continent, responsible for investigating and enforcing all matters related to special abilities in that continent."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was in an uproar - being in charge of all matters big and small concerning the superpowers in an entire continent, this power was simply too great.
"The framework of the Execution Office is currently being established, and the selection of executive officers is expected to begin next month. Once the executive officers are chosen, we will discuss in detail the relevant laws and regulations for people with special abilities." General Yan glanced at Chen Run vaguely before saying, "We have no control over other continents, but it would be best if the executive officers for Asia could be from here. After all, the executive officers have too much power."
Shen Run didn't notice his look and asked again: "What is the selection method?"
General Yan glanced at her again before saying, "The status of a person with special abilities is determined by their strength. The current tentative selection criteria is that each country in each continent nominates a candidate. The United Nations will then select a venue for these candidates to compete. The winner will serve as the executive officer of a continent."
This selection method was within everyone's expectations. Everyone nodded and waited for General Yan to announce the domestic candidates.
General Yan refused to say more, but raised his hand and said, "Okay, today's meeting ends here. You still have a lot of cases to deal with. Dismissed."
Chen Run wanted to ask in detail, but the old fox slipped away first. Coincidentally, someone in the district called to report a case, so Chen Run had no choice but to rush to solve the case.
After another busy day, Chen Run was afraid that Chi Shuangliu would go crazy staying at home, so he forced himself to switch shifts with his colleagues and rushed home desperately.
Before opening the door, she had already imagined the horrific scene of her house being bombed and demolished, but when she opened the door, she saw that the house was empty.
Although the furniture and floors were shiny and clean, it couldn't hide the fact that no one had lived in the house for several days.
Chen Run was stunned for a moment before reacting, and shouted Chi Shuangliu's name several times - but received no response.
She searched around the house and outside but couldn't find a single hair, so she lowered her head and called Chi Shuangliu, but all she heard was an electronic tone saying "The number you dialed is turned off..."
This is really weird!
Chen Run hurried downstairs again and went around the supermarket and market where Chi Shuangliu usually bought vegetables, but found nothing. She even called the parasol, but Lu Kuo and Cao Xun, the two lackeys, hadn't seen him for a long time.
Where could Chi Shuangliu have gone? Did he really go to the solar system?
If she had not been so sure of her feelings for Chi Shuangliu, she would have really suspected that he had found a way to escape from the earth.
Although Chen Run was confused, he was not worried that anything would happen to Chi Shuangliu. He was just worried about where he had gone, so he asked his colleagues to check the surrounding surveillance.
After doing all this, she remembered that she hadn't taken a bath for almost a week. Although her body could clean itself now, out of personal hygiene habits, she still unfolded the portable bathtub at home and filled herself with hot water for a bath.
After being soaked in hot water, Chen Run felt that every pore of his body was dilated, and the fatigue of the past few days was swept away. He closed his eyes comfortably and let the smell of pheromones spread in the air.
Her skin suddenly shuddered, as if someone was watching her in secret.
The gaze was so hot that it almost became material, licking her ankles all the way up aggressively.
Shen Run was startled and opened his eyes suddenly, but his sight disappeared almost instantly.
She was too familiar with this look - except Chi Shuangliu, no one else would stare at her with such an obsessed and crazy look.
If her feeling was correct, Chi Shuangliu was probably hiding in his own space and spying on her.
But Chen Run was even more puzzled. They were a serious couple, so why was Chi Shuangliu hiding from her? What kind of crazy was this?
Shen Run shouted a few more times into the air, but received no response, as if the sight just now was her illusion.
She got angry all of a sudden, climbed out of the bathtub, put on her clothes as quickly as possible, and tried not to give Chi Shuangliu any benefits!
After washing up, she leaned back on the sofa. Thinking that Chi Shuangliu might still be peeping at her from some corner, she felt so angry that her teeth were itching.
She lowered her head and pondered for a while, and finally came up with a dirty trick. She opened her cell phone, found the number of Yan Xunqing, the person Chi Shuangliu disliked the most, and dialed him.
The feeling of being stared at appeared again, and a gaze filled with anger pierced straight at him, irritating Chen Run to the point of feeling his scalp tingling.
The call was quickly connected. Apart from official business, the two of them rarely made personal calls. Yan Xunqing asked with a hint of confusion, "What's wrong?"
Chen Run felt Chi Shuangliu's gaze and couldn't help licking his lips. He was struggling to decide what to say to further stimulate Chi Shuangliu, but he was afraid that the stimulation would be too much, so he ran to cause trouble for Yan Xunqing again.
She hesitated for a few seconds and asked cautiously, "Have you eaten?"
Yan Xunqing: "...eaten it."
"What are you eating?"
"Xiao Yang Sheng Jian."
"Oh, what kind of filling?"
“…”
The conversation between straight men and straight women is so plain, dull and tedious. Chen Run felt the tingling sensation on his back gradually fade away, and the stimulation to Chi Shuangliu was gradually weakening.
Suddenly, a wicked look flashed in her eyes, and she blurted out, "Do you want to have dinner together tonight?"
That gaze came again, filled with rage like a blazing flame.
Yan Xunqing was stunned for a moment and refused in a very straightforward manner: "No, I'll eat in the cafeteria tonight."
He hung up the phone after he finished speaking, and Chi Shuangliu's gaze disappeared as well.
The plan failed, and Shen Run wiped his face melancholy.
It was only after Yan Xunqing hung up the phone that he realized something was wrong. With Chi Shuangliu watching, he and Shen Run had almost no private contact. Now she suddenly called and talked a lot of meaningless nonsense. Was she hinting at something?
She had an accident and needs rescue?
Although he knew that there were not many things on Earth that could hurt Chen Run, out of caution, Yan Xunqing still decided to go and take a look.
When he arrived at the residential area where Chen Run lived, it was already very dark. He knocked on the door three times politely. When Chen Run opened the door, he looked around the rental house vigilantly, but on the surface he didn't find anything wrong.
He was silent for a moment, then asked suggestively, "Wouldn't you like me to come in and sit down?"
Chen Run opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, a ferocious tentacle stretched out from the void and whipped him flying.
With a 'bang', the door was slammed shut, and Chen Run was dragged back into the house by an arm that appeared out of nowhere.
The force of the pull was not strong, but it was a strong warning.
Yan Xunqing's limited emotional experience could not help him understand what happened between the young couple. He could only brush off the dirt on his body and go downstairs silently.
