Chapter 22
Sun Bin, whose face was dark and whose trembling had gradually stopped, was eventually taken to the hospital by the arriving doctors and put in an ambulance. Because Wang Tingting was emotionally unstable, she was also taken to the hospital in the ambulance.
Worried about their son's condition, Sun Bin's parents did not pursue the matter further and rushed to the hospital with him.
"Nannan, you can go back now. Don't worry, things will be easy to handle later. We don't need you to protect us for the time being. Go back and get some rest. If there are any other cases later, we'll have to trouble you to go with the other colleagues again."
The Ping'an Police Station doesn't only have these two officers; they're just the ones who are most often on field duty. But when both of them are out, other colleagues also need to go out on assignments. In these situations, having a police officer with superpowers by your side would definitely make things much easier. More importantly, in the current situation, it's really not suitable to have Chen Nan come along. So, as the team leader, He Jun could only persuade Chen Nan to go back first.
"Okay, I understand!"
Seeing Captain He suddenly breathe a sigh of relief, and the worried looks he was getting from the police, Chen Nan could only wisely decide not to follow them.
The once bustling neighborhood fell silent as the ambulance and police left.
Seeing that there was no more excitement to be seen, some people quickly went back inside. All the windows that had been open upstairs were now closed one by one.
Some people carrying birdcages and vegetables sat down in the small pavilion again, while others surrounded Chen Nan, curiously examining her: "Girl, when did you become a superhuman? Were you scared during that month after becoming a superhuman?"
"Yes, when you were at the Superpower Institute, how many of the people around you survived? Have you ever actually seen a living cockroach monster? Were you infected after being attacked by a cockroach monster? Were you scared when you saw those half-human, half-monster things? Or were you no longer very afraid?"
"I've only been a superhuman for a short time. Sorry, I have to go back to work right away. Let's chat again next time, aunties."
The two elderly ladies were so enthusiastic and curious that Chen Nan quickly said something to them and then left the residential area.
After leaving that place, Chen Nan found a spot to take off her uniform jacket, and then slowly walked away carrying the jacket.
As the weather cools down in autumn, everyone gradually adds layers of clothing.
Underneath her uniform, Chen Nan was also wearing a warm sweater.
The first time she went on a mission, she encountered an infected person, so she had to walk home with Tang Ke that day.
Since she was handling a regular case today, she naturally didn't need to walk back.
Walking slowly towards the waiting hall in the distance, Chen Nan saw that several people there were wearing masks, so she quickly put on her own mask as well. Then, following the crowd, she kept a small distance from them, just like everyone else.
Ahead, various private vehicles sped by relentlessly; in the distance, a group of people wearing hats and masks were diligently sweeping the ground and rummaging through trash cans; all around were buildings of varying heights. If it weren't for the large advertisements in the distance playing promotional videos of soldiers and supernatural police officers, Chen Nan would have had the illusion that nothing had changed.
Three minutes later, Chen Nan boarded the bus with the group.
The bus looks exactly the same as the one in my previous life, but the inside is definitely different. At least the seats are separated by half-person-high partitions, probably to prevent anyone in this place from suddenly changing.
Moreover, once on the bus, everyone was silent, almost all of them looking down at their phones.
Later on, the bus became so crowded that there were just a few extra people standing near the exit.
Some passengers even hesitated subconsciously when they saw the situation inside the vehicle before boarding, and then chose not to board.
How did the world become like this?
While dozing off in the back of the car, Chen Nan was still lost in thought.
In her half-asleep state, she suddenly noticed something amiss about the area near the doorway below.
There were several girls who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, probably junior high school students or children who had just started high school.
Beside those girls stood three young men in their early twenties with blond hair who looked like hooligans.
In those days, the trains weren't particularly crowded, so people didn't need to squeeze together at all.
But in that spot, those girls just unconsciously huddled together.
The three boys, who were clearly a bit older than them, were deliberately squeezing over there in a cocky manner, pretending that there wasn't enough space on the bus.
She suddenly opened her eyes and looked in that direction for two seconds, then Chen Nan immediately stood up, picking up her clothes.
"Excuse me, could you move aside?"
After standing up, she squeezed directly between the two groups of people.
"You didn't grow at all—"
Seeing that someone dared to ruin his plans, the tallest of the blond-haired men turned around and started cursing.
But just as he was about to continue, Chen Nan slowly raised her right hand.
The crackling electric current, like a string of transparent flames or a small, undulating lightning snake, moved swiftly across the palm and fingers of her right hand.
The moment the hissing sound came out, the young man who had been cursing changed his expression. The other two, the blond-haired guy who had initially wanted to help their leader, instantly turned into quails.
"Stand to the side!"
In the face of absolute power, everything is silent and efficient.
After Chen Nan stopped and said something expressionless again, the three of them quickly stepped back and pressed themselves against the other side of the car window.
"Are you alright? Did they do anything?"
Without making any further threatening gestures, Chen Nan stepped forward and actually walked over to the group of girls. Of course, at this moment, she also subconsciously put on her clothes and looked down at the recording device on her chest.
“Sister, they’ve been following us ever since we left school, saying they want our phone numbers. We’ve told them we don’t want to give them up, but they just keep following us. We didn’t want to take the bus, but we rushed onto it to get rid of them. We never expected that they would follow us onto the bus.”
"Sister, they even took pictures of us with their phones!"
"Where were you filming? Who filmed it?" Chen Nan turned to look at the three people beside her and asked calmly.
“All three of them took pictures. They’re like three perverts. Two of them specifically filmed the skirt, and the other filmed our area. We told them to delete it, and they said they would only delete it if we gave them their phone number.”
"Yes, yes, yes, policewoman, please arrest them all!"
"Can we arrest him?"
The four girls were all chattering away, talking about how they had a day off and could go to the police station.
"Okay, we'll all go to the police station together later. I'll have their parents come over to apologize and pick them up in person."
If she were just an ordinary girl, she definitely wouldn't have had the courage to stand up. At that time, being able to secretly take out her phone to take a picture or give a verbal reminder was already the greatest courage she could muster.
But in this world, she possesses special abilities and a special identity.
At this moment, there was no longer a trace of confusion in my heart.
When the car arrived at the next police station, Chen Nan gave one look, and the three young men in their early twenties who were standing upright quickly followed, trembling.
In fact, if they encountered other police officers wearing protective suits, or civilian police officers without superpowers, they would definitely try to escape or run away.
But now, recalling the superpowers displayed by the supernatural police officer, several people who frequently browse the internet, are particularly interested in superpowers, and often watch online clips of supernatural police enforcing the law, knew the extent of the officer's power and knew that if the officer made a move, they would almost certainly suffer greatly. In the end, they wisely followed along.
"Hey, Nannan, where did you bring so many young men from?"
From the moment Chen Nan put on her police uniform and led those people into the Ping'an Police Station, they had become familiar with her over the past two weeks, and everyone immediately asked her questions with smiles.
"I've caught a few hooligans who were harassing girls and I'll deal with them."
Seeing the envious looks from the girls and the dejected appearance of the three hooligans, Chen Nan's joy and satisfaction reached their peak.
At this moment, she felt that even if this world was just a fictional world, even if the superpowered police here would still be disliked and complained about, her ability to possess superpowers in this world was truly a source of great joy. She liked the feeling of being able to help others, and she also liked the feeling of having the ability to threaten others. In any case, because of what was happening at this moment, Chen Nan was in a very good mood.
So when she brought those high school students and three hooligans into the mediation room to handle the matter, Chen Nan remained focused and normal throughout.
Just like in my previous life, this kind of harassment isn't really a serious crime.
But in the end, Chen Nan still called over the parents of the three blond-haired men and made them hold their sons' heads down and apologize to the girls.
Of course, an apology alone was not enough; the three were also fined and detained for a week in accordance with laws and regulations.
This matter could be serious or minor, and Chen Nan's handling of it wasn't the most severe. Moreover, she followed the local laws and regulations throughout, so even though the three parents were somewhat anxious, they ultimately accepted it. According to them, letting a few high school graduates who had been idle for years go in and experience it was the right thing to do.
This matter was resolved quite perfectly. While the three blond-haired boys were certainly hateful, their parents were surprisingly easy to talk to. Therefore, Chen Nan handled the matter very well and smoothly.
In a sense, this seems to be Chen Nan's first time handling law enforcement independently. Of course, saying "independent" isn't entirely accurate, as she was actually assisted by colleagues throughout her time at the police station. But even so, Chen Nan was the one primarily responsible for handling this matter, so she was very happy.
Even when the girls left, they took a photo with her, saying they wanted to keep a memento and make a record of it.
The internet here is now entirely registered under real names. Due to real-world reasons, countless people have moved their social lives online. Recording things anytime is a habit ingrained in everyone here, so Chen Nan didn't refuse. She made a peace sign and tried her best to keep a straight face for a group photo.
Because she handled the matter of the blond-haired boy independently, even when Captain He returned and asked her to write a report that night and export the law enforcement video from the recorder to submit to her superiors, Chen Nan didn't feel much.
"Nannan, is it a bit boring here? Would you like me to take you to Team One? Team One has a guard regiment that specializes in security services. Once we get there, you might have fewer things to deal with?"
During dinner that evening, Tang Ke, perhaps finally realizing what had happened to Chen Nan, suddenly made this remark at the table.
"No need, this is fine. Master, you're too good to me, aren't you? Don't worry, I'm not that fragile. I don't care about things online or other people's complaints. I'm really enjoying my life now, so please don't transfer me to another position. This is good."
Now Chen Nan finally understood how the original owner had suddenly joined the Presidential Palace Guard Regiment. Rather than becoming a bodyguard to protect others, Chen Nan preferred to stay here and deal with all sorts of different things every day.
When Tang Ke suddenly made that suggestion, Chen Nan's immediate reaction was to wave her hand and resolve the matter quickly. She was afraid that if she hesitated, she would be assigned to that Presidential Palace Security Corps and then inexplicably run into the female lead.
Anyway, up to now, Chen Nan is completely afraid to get to know the female lead, and doesn't want to become so-called "friends" with her.
