Chapter 35
"Chen Nan, was it you who orchestrated my transfer?"
Although she had temporarily resigned herself to her fate, when she reached her post and took off her work badge, Guo Ying couldn't help but stand up again and quickly walked over to Chen Nan.
Early in the morning, they hadn't received any calls yet, so everyone was relatively free. Ping'an Police Station was small; all the officers with superpowers on patrol and all the clerical officers handling internal affairs—about a dozen people in total—lived in one office. Everyone was already a little curious when Guo Ying suddenly went to Old Chen's office. Now, seeing Guo Ying, with a gloomy expression, directly remove her badge and walk towards Chen Nan, everyone could no longer maintain their feigned composure and all looked on with curiosity.
"It was me. I genuinely felt you weren't suited for a frontline police position, which is why I reported it to the higher-ups." Regarding this matter, Tang Ke had told her yesterday to pretend she didn't know anything, saying that the higher-ups would tell Guo Ying they had overheard their conversation and that's why they contacted her. Just now, Chen Nan also received a tip from Captain Chen, saying that his explanation to Guo Ying was that they had mentioned sensitive topics, which led to the higher-ups overhearing her, and thus the decision to transfer her away from the frontline.
In this situation, just in case, Chen Nan's best option seems to be to pretend she doesn't know.
But after spending time with Guo Ying, Chen Nan had roughly figured out her personality. She knew that Guo Ying was the type who, once she made up her mind about something, wouldn't change it no matter how much others tried to persuade her. Moreover, the book mentioned that Guo Ying had an exceptionally strong sixth sense. Many things in the book didn't require any evidence; she could discern the truth from falsehood simply through her intuition.
This might be somewhat related to her special abilities, or it could be her unique talent. In any case, she was already convinced by her intuition that she was the one who did it. Furthermore, the report could actually be found in the new student system. They were just low-level thugs without the authority, but someone at the level of the other party's master could easily find out. So at this point, Chen Nan didn't struggle or deny it; she simply looked up and admitted it.
"You—" Guo Ying was slightly taken aback by her unexpected and frank admission, but she quickly regained her composure and continued to question loudly, "Why? Chen Nan, I've never offended you, have I? We've been together for the past two months, and I've always tried my best to protect you. I've never held you back, have I? Even if you don't like me because of what happened yesterday, you could have just told Captain Chen to switch teams. Did you have to kick me out of the police force? Do you know that if I go to a military hospital, I might never be able to go to the front lines again?"
In this era, danger creates miracles.
Because of the feeling of despair, the world saw its first true superhuman.
Humans experience a sudden surge of mental strength during times of crisis because they sense danger.
Only when physical and mental data are good enough can the level of superpowers soar and the superpowered person become stronger.
Regarding the levels of superpowers in the country, and the circumstances under which superpowers might suddenly advance in level, although there are no explicit records or publicly available information, everyone is actually well aware of these things.
Who wouldn't like a comfortable life? Staying in a safe place is even better; everyone knows that.
But at the same time, everyone in this world understands this. If that's the case, when real danger arrives, they will simply be the most ordinary people being protected. If that day truly comes, everyone will instinctively prioritize self-preservation. When the level of danger increases to a certain point, ultimately, only oneself can save oneself.
Therefore, under such circumstances, every person with superpowers hopes to receive sufficient training to make their superpowers stronger and stronger.
The border is too dangerous, and actually going out to fight is too risky. Staying in the city and training slowly in a small police station is the safest and most reliable way to train.
In short, Guo Ying is not a clueless fool; she knows where she can grow faster.
Driven by rage, her chest heaved violently beneath her blue superpowered police uniform, her breathing heavy and labored, a sound only heard in extreme anger.
The six new police officers with superpowers and the dozen or so ordinary police officers in the office all understood what Guo Ying was angry about.
We are not living in a peaceful era. Given the same salary and benefits, it is better to stay in a military hospital as a psychologist or to hone one's special abilities in a frontline police station. Everyone knows this.
So now, seeing that Chen Nan had actually admitted it, everyone, along with Guo Ying's anger, stared intently at Chen Nan, eager to hear her explanation.
Everyone knows Chen Nan's identity.
Seeing this scene, many people have already secretly labeled Chen Nan as willful, capricious, and lawless.
At this moment, many people thought that Chen Nan was jealous of Guo Ying, the newcomer, because she was beautiful and had better interpersonal relationships than her. Therefore, she deliberately used her connections to suppress and drive her away, because of the principle of same sex repulsion.
Yes, since the last time the president went out, he raised his hand in their direction from inside the car. Many netizens later discovered that he had raised his hand to Tang Ke outside. In this police station, people have gradually stopped contacting Chen Nan and Tang Ke.
Tang Ke had always been a loner, so she had no feelings about this matter at all.
As for Chen Nan, she was actually keeping her own affairs to herself and was oblivious to everything around her.
In the eyes of others here, they have gradually stopped associating with Chen Nan and Tang Ke, these two special individuals. They want to avoid being accused of currying favor with the powerful, or getting themselves into trouble instead of gaining their favor.
At this moment, in everyone's eyes, Guo Ying is a pitiful person who can't get rid of Chen Nan and has unexpectedly gotten herself into trouble.
"First of all, I want to reiterate that I did report you. But the final decision on whether or not to let you stay here, and on transferring you to the military hospital, was made by the higher-ups and Captain Chen together, not by me."
Without the slightest panic or guilt, Chen Nan remained seated in her chair, continuing to look up at the furious Guo Ying: "You said that mutants aren't necessarily human, and that if we give them a little more time, they might be able to become human again. You said the country is too strict with illegal immigrants and should lower the entry and exit requirements for various safe zones. You said that on Sunflower Planet, cockroach monsters can transform into human form, so why can't our country give all mutants a few more months?"
Can't I report you for having this kind of mentality? I'm the one who goes out with you every day now. What if we encounter danger, and you suddenly remember these ideas, suddenly have a blissful heart, and can't bear to kill the mutant in front of you? What am I supposed to do then? I can't be risking my life to kill the enemy while you have a blissful heart and think that even if the other person has mutated, they are still human and can still be saved, can I?
Chen Nan glanced at Guo Ying, whose face was flushed, and then at the onlookers. She continued loudly, "Anyway, I definitely don't want to go out with you in this state. So I reported this matter and let the higher-ups decide your fate. If they arrange for you to go to the hospital, then go to the hospital. If you don't want to go, then go find out for yourself, or try reporting me too? See if they find out I have some problems and transfer me to some safer unit."
And everyone—if you think I've done something wrong, if you're willing to go on missions with Officer Guo, who's too shy to go with me, then you're welcome to step forward. If you step forward and confidently say you're willing to go on missions with her, then I'll risk everything to find a way to keep Officer Guo on the team and have her work with you all. How about that?
"..."
The surroundings were quiet. Regardless of what everyone had thought before, everyone subconsciously fell silent at this moment.
Many people only realized at this moment that Guo Ying had crossed the line, and they all looked at her with complicated expressions.
"you--"
Unexpectedly, she spoke about this so casually, and Guo Ying's eyes gradually reddened.
Although she felt that her idea was not wrong, she also clearly understood that her idea could not be openly and directly put on the table.
Seeing that Chen Nan showed no regard for their past relationship and bluntly brought up such a matter, she was so angry that she didn't know what to say.
"Good morning, everyone, we have a new emergency call—"
"Alright, didn't you hear the new emergency call? Get back to work. Chen Nan, you go out alone today, be careful on the road. Everyone else, just do what you normally do, get moving!"
Just as the atmosphere in the large office was tense, an emergency call and Old Chen's angry roar rang out simultaneously overhead.
At Ping'an Police Station, Chen Nan and Guo Ying are currently considered veteran employees capable of responding to calls. The six new police officers with special abilities are ranked after the veteran employees.
A new police incident has just occurred, and the new police officer system naturally prioritizes assigning it to Chen Nan and Guo Ying.
However, Guo Ying's new police officer system has been partially frozen, so she naturally cannot receive police dispatch information.
At that moment, along with the police dispatch system overhead and Old Chen's angry roar, only Chen Nan's phone notification rang.
"yes!"
Ignoring everyone around her, Chen Nan, who was already fully dressed, grabbed her phone and service pistol and immediately ran outside.
"At No. 76 Xinghe Avenue, Fourth District, someone reported to the police that they were assaulted without provocation while walking. The person who reported the incident is—"
As Chen Nan ran, the sound of a dispatcher reporting the specific details of the incident came through her phone.
Seeing that Chen Nan had left, no one dared to delay any longer.
The civilian police officer immediately picked up the case he was assigned and quickly began analyzing it and making inquiries.
They no longer need to respond to calls, but they are still responsible for receiving citizens who come to report crimes. Some cases that come to them are still handled by them, and some investigative and interrogation work is still done by them. They just don't need to rush to the front lines anymore; everything else remains exactly the same as before. In fact, they aren't completely without opportunities to respond to calls; when the super-powered police are overwhelmed, they still have to step in.
At this moment, the few superhuman police officers who would definitely be on duty soon quickly checked their clothes and equipment, preparing to go out at any time. Meanwhile, the other police officers quickly got back to their assigned tasks.
In the silence, Old Chen patted Guo Ying on the shoulder and whispered, "Little Guo, don't just stand there, get moving and try to report over there today."
"yes!"
Unable to reach her master by phone, Chen Nan cruelly revealed everything.
Even though she was unwilling, Guo Ying could only quickly go back and pack her things.
The new employee information system on her phone provided detailed instructions on the procedures she needed to follow. They even included the contact number for the Capital Military Hospital.
She just needs to follow the steps outlined above.
They also got a police uniform with superpowers, a gun, a police badge, and a recording device. They found a dedicated police clerk to hand over their work and had Captain Chen sign several paper documents.
Take the documents and report to the personnel department of the military hospital.
After receiving her registration certificate, new address, and new work system, she will need to take these documents to her old dormitory to pack her belongings. When moving out, she will need to hand over her access card.
After she handed the access card to the administrator below, who confirmed it, she was able to leave. Then, at that moment, the new system on her phone became unusable. The police system with the badge was now just a regular icon that she couldn't open at all.
"Sister Guo, do you need me to help you move this?"
The system's simple procedures took a whole day to complete. Just as Guo Ying was moving all her belongings out, a familiar-looking policeman returned and instinctively said something to her.
"No need, I've already called a moving company. They need to register and check it again."
Guo Ying did indeed call a moving company, and most of her belongings had already been loaded onto their truck. However, she needed to register again to enter and exit the premises, and the security guard also needed to check her truck's contents before letting her through. So she was waiting for the security guard to finish his phone call before proceeding with the final steps.
"Okay, I'll contact you if anything comes up."
Because the reason Guo Ying was transferred was somewhat sensitive, the other party didn't feel comfortable saying much, so they nodded to her and quickly left.
Apart from that person, no one else from the entire Ping'an Police Station came to say goodbye to her.
She is a police officer with superpowers, and the people she is most familiar with in this place are Chen Nan, her master, Tang Ke, Captain He, and Yu Guangyuan.
But now her master and Tang Ke are both out, and Chen Nan has fallen out with her again—she's the one who sent her away. Captain He sacrificed himself before their eyes, and after Xiao Yu entered the institute to discover her supernatural abilities, she never returned. The new supernatural police officers have been paired up since they arrived, and they're not familiar with her either.
At this moment, everyone is either busy or avoiding each other.
In the end, Guo Ying, who felt she hadn't done anything and had only talked a big game, was slunk out of the police system.
In the psychology department of a military hospital, there are actually not many people like Guo Ying who possess the ability to soothe others.
Although Guo Ying can no longer use the police system, her military status still exists.
So soon, someone contacted her and started helping her move and settle in.
The people over there started teaching her how to use their system.
On the other system, there was also a small police badge, but it was completely different from the simple new student system.
I realize that from this moment on, I have actually transformed from a police officer into a doctor.
She felt a surge of frustration, but there was nothing she could do. With Xie Minghang not returning, Guo Ying could only resign herself to following them step by step.
Her parents had passed away long ago, and her grandparents on both sides were no longer able to take care of them and had long since stopped contacting them.
She originally had a younger sister who depended on her for survival, but she was accidentally infected on the way and they were sent to the facility for superpowers. In the end, she did not survive.
Xie Minghang was the one who arrested her and took her to the Superpower Institute, and he was also the one who took her out of the institute a month later. After they joined the Presidential Palace Guard, before they could even get to know the people around them, they were transferred to the Ping'an Police Station.
At the Ping'an Police Station, she was separated from Chen Nan and the others by a layer of security. She had finally managed to get to know Captain He and Yu Guangyuan a little. But in the end, one of them died and the other left. So, at this moment, Guo Ying felt a sense of disorientation. In the vast capital security zone, the only person she knew, the only one who could take care of her, the only one she could rely on, the only one who truly cared about her, seemed to be Xie Minghang.
"Master, where are you? When are you coming back? Do you know that I've been kicked out!"
Sitting in her messy one-bedroom apartment, Guo Ying picked up her phone and sent a message as usual. Then she tossed the phone aside and fell into a quiet silence.
In this extremely quiet situation, the phone she had just tossed aside suddenly lit up.
Thinking it was a message from Xie Minghang, Guo Ying, in a daze, quickly picked up her phone.
But what caught her eye was the person who had contacted her a long time ago.
"Ms. Guo, what do you think about the matter I mentioned before? We only need you to help us look up a few things occasionally; we don't need you to do anything else."
This person has been harassing Guo Ying for almost two months.
Guo Ying had previously ignored the other party and had not deleted them.
But at that moment, Guo Ying really didn't care, and really wanted to chat with someone. So she picked up her phone and replied expressionlessly: "But I've already been fired from the police station. Under these circumstances, do you still need me to do things for you?"
After typing the first sentence, Guo Ying continued editing: "I've been transferred to a military hospital now. I can't access the new student system right now, so I can only check most people's medical records."
Guo Ying typed her second sentence, but all she got in return was a red exclamation mark.
"Depend on!!!"
Unexpectedly, even someone like that gave up on her. Guo Ying could no longer contain her anger and smashed her phone in her hand.
Her phone hit the wall in front of her and then fell heavily to the ground, shattering into pieces.
Guo Ying could no longer hold back her grievances and immediately hugged her knees, bursting into tears.
While Guo Ying was sobbing uncontrollably in her new dormitory, Chen Nan was strangely in a good mood.
Everyone looks out for themselves, even if the female lead hasn't done anything yet.
But the thought of being pushed off a private plane by the second male lead and eaten by mutated rats until only bones remained because of her disgusted look made Chen Nan feel uncomfortable.
The female lead just happened to come over and talk to her about sensitive topics, so how could she not cooperate?
Regardless of what others thought of her, Chen Nan felt an unprecedented sense of peace and comfort at this moment.
Since the female lead is no longer a police officer, she naturally can no longer work as Tang Xin's bodyguard.
She wouldn't become a presidential guard officer, and naturally, the spies hiding in and monitoring the presidential palace wouldn't notice her.
By the way, the enemy spy prince from the original novel seems to have been escorted away not long ago.
Even if there are still spies over there, they'll probably hide carefully and won't show themselves easily. Moreover, it's said that because of the last incident, almost two-thirds of the people around Tang Xin have been replaced.
Anyway, Chen Nan is very satisfied with the current situation.
As for Xie Minghang, the original novel describes him as a loyal dog, and a patriotic one at that.
Chen Nan believed that now that she had cut off the female lead's special access to Tang Xin and Shen He, she would no longer be able to do anything else.
Since she stopped doing all sorts of shady things, Xie Minghang naturally wouldn't do anything inexplicable just to protect her.
In fact, in the original novel, whether the female lead comes into contact with Tang Xin, the prince of the enemy country, or has a love-hate relationship with Xie Minghang, it has nothing to do with Chen Nan in principle.
In principle, Chen Nan could have simply chosen to leave to protect herself.
But then, out of nowhere, she ran into the female lead. The other person, for some unknown reason, seemed to be constantly observing and scrutinizing her.
Most importantly, we live in a special era.
There has actually been ongoing fighting on the border.
Those cockroach monsters that suddenly appear have the characteristics of eating, biting, and infecting people.
Their country is currently in a special period where it is being targeted by extraterrestrials and could be destroyed at any time.
As for the female lead, she doesn't just roll around with the alien prince.
If you remove the scenes that are not suitable for children, her true identity is actually a special female spy who was trained by an alien planet.
In the original novel, every time the second male lead binds and disciplines her, it's actually to give her a task.
In order to avoid being targeted by the second male lead, the female lead uses her special identity and beauty to send messages time and time again.
Later on, Guo Ying was even able to enter Tang Xin's private study.
She is a presidential guard with a clean background. Her healing ability naturally relaxes people and easily wins their favor. She is also exceptionally beautiful, with an innocent, rabbit-like beauty, not the kind of fox-like beauty that makes people wary.
In any case, the prince of Cockroach Planet later obtained a great deal of useful information thanks to her.
Because of that intelligence, countless soldiers on the border sacrificed their lives, and countless safe zones were breached. Even the supernatural safety shield protected by countless superhumans seemed to have been breached in the end.
Because the protective shield was breached, not only did many cockroach monsters that had existed before enter this world, but also various other mutated creatures.
Those mutated rats that bit and killed the original owner were those that came in and evolved during that time.
Anyway, Chen Nan really didn't dare to mess with the female lead, nor did she dare to underestimate her.
If this world were still just a novel, then it wouldn't really matter how the plot unfolds.
But this world, unfortunately, is real.
Even now, Chen Nan can still recall the unique heat and peculiar smell of Captain He's flesh and blood splattered on her face.
Under such circumstances, by driving the original owner further and further away, making her completely unable to contact the center of power in this world, how could she not be happy?
Chen Nan carefully turned the fish she had placed in the pot, looking extremely happy and relaxed as she planned to have a good meal tonight.
Twenty minutes later, after you've finished making your sauerkraut fish.
Just like yesterday, Chen Nan took photos of her dinner very carefully, and then posted them out carefully.
"Well done, you're almost at my level."
Chen Nan had just posted the picture when she received a like and a positive comment from her older brother.
"Brother, have you had dinner yet?"
She chuckled at the comments, then, as usual, turned off the background message notifications. She then opened her chat window with her older brother and started chatting casually while eating.
"We're eating now. Tonight we're having hot pot."
No sooner had he said that than a video call invitation came in.
Without hesitation, Chen Nan immediately answered the other party's video call.
Then Chen Nan's dinner took place during a chat with her brother and a few of her former girlfriends.
They were talking about how, ever since she appeared in their area, everyone's number of fans had skyrocketed and their profits had been increasing recently.
She also mentioned that because of her presence, everyone who had recently come into contact with them had been very polite to them.
As Chen Nan listened to these words, her smile grew even wider.
In short, Chen Nan felt really happy that day, extremely happy. She even fell asleep with a smile on her face that night.
