Chapter 26
"What, the corpse baby is still alive?"
Before the assessment was over, Xishan received a call from the Institute of Supernatural Powers.
The convoy escorting the criminals in the zombie puppet case disappeared mysteriously. If the salesmen hadn't been equipped with life detection devices, they wouldn't even have noticed it so quickly.
After investigating the scene, professionals identified a high-energy supernatural reaction, and tested it against the supernatural reactions in the battle traces in Louli Village, confirming the survival of the corpse baby.
This is extremely harsh and dangerous, so the Institute of Supernatural Powers immediately informed the survey results to the outsourced, no, the Secret Code Supernatural Power Academy that was conducting a joint operation.
Most of the living dead are born with the ability to remember human scents, not to mention the dangerous corpse babies, who are relatively lacking in common sense and rely only on instinct. They will remember the last person who threatened them just like ordinary babies remember their mother's scent.
This memory is quite fatal.
Xishan frowned, realizing that the corpse baby's special ability might be more than just teleportation.
According to the information provided by the superpower and the surveillance on the escort vehicle, the corpse baby was "reborn" from Li Zhiqiang's abdomen, and it waited until the super S-level superpower left, and had a basic awareness of seeking benefits and avoiding harm.
There was more than one kind of supernatural reaction at the scene. In addition to the ones registered by the salesperson and the driver, there was also a new supernatural power.
Tsk, this is really a time bomb. Although Xishan has confidence that Xi Siling and Liuhuaqi can win even if they face each other again, it is impossible for people to stay vigilant 24 hours a day. In addition, there may be a sorcerer behind this...
"What a bunch of careless little brats."
Of course, although Xishan cursed like this, he knew in his heart that the children were in unprovoked misfortune.
How come it turned from an A-level mission to an S+ one?
Or maybe it was just bad luck. Among so many tasks outsourced by the Institute of Supernatural Powers, only their group had problems.
However, fortune and misfortune go hand in hand, and thanks to this S+, the four-member team won the first place in this mid-term examination without any dispute.
Sisina still smiles so charmingly.
"Oh, how pitiful! Now he's being targeted by the zombie baby, and they're fighting until he dies~"
Xishan had a sour face.
"Didn't you notice something was wrong at the time?"
"Hey, this is just taking your anger out on others. You and I both know that the corpse baby's resurrection through the 'corpse' cannot be detected by normal means." Si Sisina was not in a hurry at all, "Oh, don't worry~ Don't look at the child's young age, he is very capable~"
Not everyone can stand her 'free-range' teaching method.
Xishan didn't want to argue with her anymore.
"Take your time to watch today's assessment live. I'll go find them and explain the situation first."
There were not many interesting groups left, so Xishan directly handed the situation over to the remaining teachers.
Si Sisina glanced at Sha Yin intentionally or unintentionally, and found that he didn't even pay attention to her.
Liuhuaqi is a good kid, and she can't understand why Shayin doesn't like him.
But it doesn’t matter, it’s just fine if she doesn’t like it. In the end, she gets the advantage.
——
Xishan came to the Davidia involucrata garden where the second-year dormitory was located. The garden got its name because it was planted with beautiful sycamore trees.
Room 618, Building 4, is the dormitory where Si Ling and three other students live.
However, before he went upstairs, he ran into Xi Siling and Liu Huaqi who were about to return from outside.
"Huh? Up so early?"
"Teacher Xishan? We just came back from morning exercise. Have you had breakfast? Would you like to eat something?"
Xi Siling was not surprised by Xishan's arrival. He weighed the breakfast he brought for Lan Yi and Li Ke.
"Good morning, Teacher Xishan." Compared to Xi Siling's brotherly attitude towards him, Liu Huaqi seemed more reserved.
Xishan felt that he should not be hypocritical, but he did feel more refreshed.
"I'm not going to eat anymore. Where's Lan Yili Ke? He has something to talk to you about."
Xi Siling pointed upstairs.
"Didn't you stay up all night the night before? You're catching up on some sleep. Teacher, come upstairs and sit with us first. I'll go wake them up."
When Liuhuaci and Xi Siling called the two of them, they tacitly did not explain the reason, but just said that they had bought breakfast and should eat it while it was hot.
When they walked out of the bedroom in disheveled clothes and saw Xishan, they all started to attention in unison.
"Haha, Teacher Xishan, what brings you here?"
Lan Yi also quickly thought about whether he had done anything "excessive" recently, and the answer was no.
"Good morning, Teacher Xishan."
Xishan looked at the cowardly look of the two men and began to think about teasing his students.
"Look at Si Ling and first-year student Liu Hua. They only know how to get up early to do morning exercises. What are you doing?"
Li Ke had a sullen look on his face, but he chose to slide down to his knees very smoothly.
"You are right, teacher. Starting tomorrow we will go out for morning exercises with 40!"
Anyway, it was impossible for Xishan to come to the dormitory every day just to supervise whether he went out for morning exercises with Siling Liuhuaqi, so Li Ke chose to make a fearful but generous gamble!
Lan Yi looked at Li Ke with a look that said, "Did you take the wrong medicine?" and also agreed.
"Yes, teacher."
Xishan nodded with satisfaction. All he wanted was an attitude.
"Okay, now that everyone is here, I will start talking about things. You guys eat, before it gets cold." Xishan also pointed to the breakfast bought by Xi Siling on the coffee table.
Teacher Xishan was not the kind of person who cared about superficial etiquette or polite words, so the two of them started eating with their own portions.
Xishan coughed twice. "First of all, I want to commend you for your performance in this assessment. Whether it is handling unknown commissions as a superpower team or responding to the sudden changes, you have done a great job. In this S+ mission to kill the living dead, no one was killed or injured, valid evidence was preserved, and the culprit was caught. It can be said that this was a perfect mission. Although it is a bit early to draw conclusions now, as your teacher, I still want to congratulate you in advance."
Li Ke was laughing so hard that he couldn't close his mouth. Who wouldn't be happy to hear compliments? Although he knew that he was taking advantage of the scores of 40 and 77 this time, he was lucky enough to be in Siling's group!
"Teacher Xishan, your next sentence won't be "but", right?"
Lan Yi was a little scared. This was not the first time Xi Shan had tried to suppress his opponent's opinion before giving him a boost. It might be the same as the previous training. 'Everyone was very active in running ten laps today. Very good! I'll reward you with another ten laps!'
"There is a but, but don't worry, it's not directed at you." Xishan's expression became serious, "It's about the zombie puppet you encountered this time."
Whenever Li Ke heard these four words, the hairs on his back stood up. It was as if the photo, which was so disgusting that it could be used as vomiting material, had taken root in his mind, and he felt uncomfortable every time he thought of it.
"That zombie puppet can't be still alive! No!"
Xishan looked at him with an indescribable look, which made Li Ke gradually despair.
He really got a bad mouth!!!
"Ahhhh how could this happen!"
Li Ke couldn't even eat his delicious breakfast, his face full of pain.
"It shouldn't be a zombie puppet, but a dead baby."
Xi Siling supported his chin with one hand, pretending that he knew nothing and was just guessing.
Liuhuaqi was a little confused.
"I'm quite sure that the corpse baby was already dead... Could it be that it was not considered the real body from the beginning?"
He was very knowledgeable and confident in his own abilities. Under the command of the Oracle, at least the corpse baby he was controlling at the time would have no chance of surviving.
"Isn't that what the living dead are like? They have all kinds of strange powers, maybe they are resurrecting from a dead body?"
Xi Siling spread his hands.
Xishan always felt a headache when he saw Xi Siling's "experienced" look. After all, he had special abilities and, like Li Ke, he received a lot of outsiders, so naturally he had a lot of experience.
In the end, the boy still had to endure what he shouldn't have to endure at his age.
"Although Li Zhiqiang is dead, his father has been rescued. There must be someone else behind the corpse baby, so you must be prepared to be targeted. Don't go out alone to places with few people. Do you hear me?"
The identity of a secret writing student is already very eye-catching, and there have been cases of students being harmed in the past. Xishan hopes that today's warning will be engraved in their minds.
The four of them nodded obediently.
Xishan waved his hand, "There is nothing else to say. If you suspect that this is related to the dead baby, please inform me immediately no matter what happens."
"Okay, teacher, I promise!" Li Ke had never been so active and obedient.
"Then... Teacher Xishan." Xi Siling raised his hand, "Can we go to the Institute of Supernatural Powers to ask about the situation?"
Xishan was stunned for a moment, "Haven't I told you the situation? Why are you still going?"
Although Xi Siling was smiling, there was a hint of sadness in her eyes.
"I...want to see that salesman off."
Everyone was stunned at first, then their brains seemed to explode and they realized something, and then their expressions became sad.
Xishan, on the other hand, had an expression that said 'as expected'.
"You don't have to ask me this, but as a teacher, I still have to remind you..."
Xi Siling directly started to push the fan.
"Okay, okay, I get it. I need to move on. I understand."
Xi Siling, who brought up this matter, didn't seem to be bothered by it. Xishan had already said everything he wanted to say, so what else could he do.
Xishan snorted and waved his hand, "I'm leaving."
Before leaving, he took the two fried dumplings from Li Ke's bowl and said, "In short, have a good rest and don't think too much. Let's go!"
Teacher Xishan is always in a hurry and is really decisive.
But it’s really heartwarming that he made a special trip just to remind everyone to be safe in the future.
"That... Mr. Salesman, did he die?"
Lan Yi's voice was a little choked, although he looked expressionless.
Li Ke held his head and said, "Yeah... I didn't think of that. Since Li Zhiqiang is dead, then the salesman who escorted them..."
Xi Siling sighed deeply in his heart.
Even in their 'previous lives', these second-year students had not yet deeply experienced the 'parting of life and death', but this was the norm in the supernatural world.
No one can be prepared to face it, and you can only truly feel it when you lose the people closest to you.
Although this time, he wouldn't let that happen again.
"According to convention, the funeral of those who died in the supernatural power will be held seven days later. We should at least go and see them off."
Xi Siling said in a gentle tone.
