Chapter 14
Tang Ke was a man of action. After Chen Nan packed her important things, he had already taken care of everything for her.
As Chen Nan left her room at the Supernatural Abilities Institute, she received a transfer notification on the new student system. It stated that she had been reassigned to the third squad of the Fourth Brigade of the National Security Department.
The job transfer information clearly stated the location of her new job, and even her new accommodation had been rearranged.
Feeling excited, Chen Nan immediately grabbed her packed suitcase and quickly headed out the door.
As she went out, she happened to see Tang Ke talking to Xie Minghang, the captain of the third brigade.
Sensing that they must have something important to discuss, Chen Nan stood for a few seconds with her suitcase in hand. Then she moved the suitcase to the wall and leaned it against it, before sitting down on the chair next to her door.
Almost every door and office in the entire facility had a chair outside. If Chen Nan hadn't known the purpose of these chairs when she first arrived, assuming it was just a local custom, she now knew they were for police officers on special missions. Most of the time, officers receiving special orders sat outside waiting. If they received a real elimination mission, or if someone inside was accidentally infected and acted out of control, they would be met with a bullet from the superpowered police outside.
Chen Nan was lost in thought, but after a moment of random contemplation, her attention was quickly drawn to the two people next door.
"Congratulations, now that you have a cub. Teach it well and relax a bit. By the way, what kind of superpowered being is your apprentice? What's her name?"
"Her name is Guo Ying. She has a mental-based calming ability. I knew I'd found peace the moment I got close to her today—"
Tang Ke and Xie Minghang were still talking, possibly because Tang Ke was about to leave the Third Brigade. It could also be because one of the infected people Xie Minghang had brought back had finally become a superhuman.
The two, who usually seemed cold and distant and rarely spoke to each other, actually exchanged a few more words at this moment.
While the two were exchanging pleasantries, it felt as if a thunderbolt had exploded in Chen Nan's mind.
At that very moment, upon hearing the name Guo Ying and the words "soothing ability," Chen Nan suddenly remembered a novel she had read years ago.
Yes, it was a long, long time ago. It seems like Chen Nan saw it on her phone by chance when she was a freshman in college in her previous life.
During her university years, she read countless novels and watched numerous TV series. Later, she developed a liking for comics and film clips, and gradually she stopped reading novels and watching TV series as often.
So after suddenly transmigrating to this world, Chen Nan never felt like she had transmigrated into a book. After all, the world she was in was so unique, and Chen Nan was certain that she had never read anything like it before.
But now, upon hearing the words "soothing ability" and "Guo Ying," Chen Nan suddenly remembered the novel she read in her freshman year of college, the one whose name she had forgotten.
As for why she was so sensitive to the words "soothing ability" and "Guo Ying," it's because she had a college classmate named Guo Ying.
When she was reading that novel, she noticed that the female protagonist was also named Guo Ying, and something just felt off about it. At the same time, she secretly found it amusing.
Because that novel wasn't a normal romance novel; it was a erotic novel featuring superpowers.
There are three male leads in the story, and the female lead is the only innocent little rabbit among those wolves and tigers, and she's a ruthless little rabbit who wants revenge.
As for the male protagonist, there are several types, including an imperial marshal, a leader of a superpowered team, and an alien protagonist who infiltrated the empire.
At the time, Chen Nan was genuinely drawn to the various erotic scenes, and it was also the first time she had encountered the concept of "vine play" while reading the story. Furthermore, the female protagonist's name was the same as a college friend's. All these stimulating elements excited her, and she firmly imprinted the story in her mind.
She was genuinely shocked at the time, and for a long time afterward, she felt uneasy whenever she saw that friend. If it had been a normal novel, she would have forwarded it to her friend without hesitation.
But at that time, she was still young and very shy. So she could only secretly feel embarrassed, excited, and guilty.
Of course, the so-called excitement, embarrassment, and guilt only lasted for a few months.
Later, after she had read many novels and watched a lot of anime, both watchable and not, she gradually became immune to this kind of thing. She slowly forgot about that novel that had first deeply moved her.
Moreover, that novel featured a president and a grand marshal, a leader of a superpowered team, and undercover villains from other planets. Such a scenario sounded exaggerated and ridiculous; how could Chen Nan possibly confuse her current world with that erotic novel from many years ago?
But now, listening to Tang Ke and Captain Xie's conversation not far away, and hearing the familiar name Guo Ying and her soothing ability, Chen Nan suddenly and rapidly connected everything in her mind.
She thought of a lot of things in her mind at once, but in reality, it only took her less than a minute.
After quickly figuring everything out, Chen Nan, who had been listening for a long time, couldn't help but interject, "Captain Xie, does Guo Ying have a younger sister?"
"Yes, that's right!"
Hearing Chen Nan's words, Xie Minghang, who had been extremely excited, darkened slightly: "Her younger sister is named Guo Jiao. She entered the Superpower Institute on the same day as you and underwent a real mutation on the same day. You were just luckier; you survived and became a superpowered individual. But she wasn't as lucky as you—"
At this point, Xie Minghang's joy had largely vanished.
He immediately lost the desire to continue the conversation, turned around and earnestly wished Tang Ke a safe journey, then shook hands with him to say goodbye.
Of course, when he left, he didn't forget to bow his head and say goodbye to Chen Nan properly.
"Nannan, how do you know about Guo Jiao? Have you seen her outside?"
As soon as Xie Minghang left, Tang Ke, carrying a black handbag, walked over and naturally reached out to pull the black suitcase that Chen Nan had placed against the wall.
"I don't really know her, but I've heard her name from Sister Fang. She said that Guo Fang and I had the accident on the same day. I was lucky to escape unscathed, but that person wasn't so lucky!"
While walking outside with Tang Ke, Chen Nan subconsciously started making things up.
Tang Ke didn't dwell on the matter too much. After the two left the institute and got into the same green jeep he had driven last time, he talked to Chen Nan about her future work arrangements while driving.
When Tang Ke first started speaking, Chen Nan listened quite attentively.
But gradually, she found herself drifting off, subconsciously starting to think about that novel whose title she could no longer recall. She couldn't remember the names of any of the male leads, only the female lead's name and the special identities of a few of the male leads.
As she pondered, Chen Nan began to try hard to recall whether she was in that novel, or whether she knew anyone else.
