“Are you serious, Boss? You’re already burning bridges before we’ve even crossed them? Boohoo, after I gave up my personal rest time and risked my life to save you… But if you want to know about the new humans, my MN is an expert!” Walter shot me a sly grin, his buck teeth gleaming with a “chilling” light, as if he already knew he was about to enjoy himself thoroughly.
“Come on, bro, you know me—what’s ours is ours! Let’s go, Big Brother is treating today!” We immediately started slinging our arms around each other’s shoulders, making Emily Carter and Grace Bennett double over with laughter.
On the way, Walter and I joked and chatted, and Grace Bennett teased us from time to time, but Emily Carter stayed silent. Every time she looked at me, she blushed. Heh, honestly, I kept thinking about it too—tonight, I’ll definitely have to savor the memory!
Even though the school gate was already closed, it seemed like none of us were ordinary people—this little obstacle was nothing. The three of them just climbed right over the wall.
But wait, something’s missing—someone’s still inside the wall. I’m doomed!
Can someone tell me how to use this strength? I seemed so cool just now, so why can’t I even climb a wall now? I—I’ll crawl!
While the three of them stared in shock, I tumbled down from the wall. “Sorry, my bad, my bad!” The three of them looked at me like they’d just seen God.
“Looks like Boss’s power still needs some work, and his messenger hasn’t even shown up yet. Strange, really strange.” Walter shook his head knowingly, as if he understood everything. He’d never seen such a down-and-out new human before.
“Let me help you clean your clothes—they’re dirty again.” Emily Carter said, her pretty face blushing. Her Saintess can even cleanse dust—amazing! This wife is reserved for me. If anyone tries to take her, I’ll fight them!
Unconsciously, my confidence grew a lot. It seems that only strength can make a person truly confident.
Not far away was a Didi Café. We found a quiet corner and sat down. Geez, Walter really went all out—he ordered the most expensive items right away. Is he trying to bankrupt me? Walter just grinned mischievously—he didn’t care about the best, only the priciest!
“Actually, Emily and I don’t know much. Over the past year, we’ve been searching for companions everywhere. But if new humans don’t show their powers, they’re just like ordinary people. Luckily, Emily’s Saintess can sense powerful messengers. Half a year ago, our tour group came to Penglai to see the legendary paradise. By chance, the Saintess sensed an incredibly strong power hidden in this school—not just strong, but enough to shock even messengers. So we were intrigued. You know the rest. Honestly, we’re both newbies too!” Grace Bennett summarized the situation.
Emily Carter glanced at me. “Now it’s clear the Saintess’s discovery was right, even if there were a few small hiccups.”
At this point, Walter took a careful sip of coffee, his buck teeth looking even cuter. “Let me take it from here. I probably know more about this than you think.”
Seeing all three of us focused on him, Walter’s habit of showing off kicked in, but under our murderous glares, he quickly corrected himself.
“First, let me talk about ‘Rebirth in Destruction,’ a book that’s not very popular online. It describes how, after the year 2000, the great catastrophe people feared had already begun. But the catastrophe is a slow process. From that day on, some creatures on Earth began to change. They were chosen by God to survive, so they have God’s messengers. Most of these people are young, since they’ve committed less evil and suffered less pollution. They call themselves new humans and believe the Earth belongs to them. But not all new humans are blinded by power—some still think new humans and ordinary humans can coexist peacefully. After all, would you destroy your own parents? The two sides split into two major factions: the Terminators, who believe in destruction before rebirth and mark a ‘T’ on their arms or bodies, and the Pioneers, who advocate peaceful coexistence and development and mark a ‘P’. When the two groups meet, there’s always friction. But they share a common principle: to hide their identities. Now is not the time for the world to know about them—who knows what would happen? Besides, their powers are still weak. They were once human, so they know how terrifying human wisdom and unity can be.”
At this point, Walter finished his coffee and naturally ordered another cup. By now, I was completely absorbed and didn’t even notice.
“That’s right. Some of the information I got also comes from this online version of ‘Rebirth.’ The article also introduces the general levels of messengers and their origins.” Emily Carter nodded.
“Heh, that’s exactly what I was about to talk about!” Rarely getting a chance to shine, Walter was now in his element.
