Ten years later.
TV stations from all over China jointly report on the morning news: “The following is an important notice, all administrative agencies, enterprises and institutions, individual businesses, schools, people’s organizations and other organizations with more than three people are requested to pass it on to each other. At present, there is a possibility that ‘voids’ may appear all over the world at any time, which can continuously spread and involve people in a dangerous world, once you encounter a ‘void’, please don’t panic, call the police and leave the area where the ‘void’ is spreading as soon as possible. Be calm if you get involved by accident, at present, minors across the country are implanted with defense chips issued by the Ministry of State Security, after entering the other world, the chip will be automatically turned on. Adults with minors around them should immediately come within one meter of the child, this is the effective range of the defense chip. No matter what happens in the other world, don’t panic, there will be supernatural soldiers coming to rescue soon. Repeat…”
“Boring,” A young man took off his headphones and said, “Every morning at 8 o’clock, 12 o’clock, and 8 o’clock in the evening, whether it is on the Internet or on TV, this announcement is broadcast, it has been broadcast for almost ten years, aren’t you tired? Is there anyone who doesn’t know about this? As long as I’m connected to the Internet, even if I’m listening to music, it will only play this at this time, listening to it my ears are almost full of calluses.”
“Yeah, and at every exam 《Another World Survival Guide》 will be quizzed, it’s also a key subject in the college entrance examination, and the score value is also very high.” Another young man beside him said, “The most irritating thing is that the knowledge points are updated at any time, I just memorized that book during the college entrance examination last year, one week before the exam, the teacher said that the Ministry of State Security has updated the new world again, adding a chapter of content, I memorized it for another week and almost vomited.” Another young man said painfully, “I thought I wouldn’t need to memorize it anymore after entering the college, but unexpectedly the entrance exam is this 《Another World Survival Guide》 subject if the average score of the four-year course doesn’t exceed 90 points, graduation certificate will not be given, I only got 70 points in the test at the beginning of school, how can I improve the 20 points in the next few years!”
“Moreover, the teacher didn’t highlight the key points, saying that it is about everyone’s life, this book is the precious experience gained by all the staff of the Ministry of State Security with their lives and blood, every word is the key point.” The first young man, A, rolled his eyes, “Has he ever counted the number of words in this book? 200,000 words! It’s still increasing, God, I recite the figure every time!”
“Be content,” Young man C said to his two classmates, “I heard that teachers have to take the test themselves, and even the retired elderly, even if they didn’t take the exam, they have to go to the lecture on survival in another world held by the social security department every month, if not going, they won’t be paid that month’s pension!”
“Does that mean we can’t get rid of this subject for the rest of our lives?” Young man B is full of despair, “In fact, this book is very good, all kinds of different worlds are written very vividly, and there are free movies online, and the documentaries are better than blockbuster movies with special effects. Such a good-looking thing, even if they don’t let me recite it, I would like it, but once it is added to the test subjects… I don’t want to see it.”
Young man C: “But don’t you think it would be nice if one day we can enter this world? You’re all implanted with memory chips, right?”
Young man A nodded: “Um, implanted three years ago, it’s useless in the real world. I tried it by jumping from the window of my house after it was implanted, and it turned out… hey, fortunately, my house is on the second floor, just a broken leg.”
“You’ve done this before, too?” Young man B is gloating, “I wanted to try it with a kitchen knife, and it happened that the news reported that teenager A jumped off a building to try the memory chip, please don’t do such a dangerous thing again, the memory chip can only be activated in the other world. After reading this news, I put down the kitchen knife… eh? What’s with your face, could it be that teenager A with a mosaic on his face is you?”
Young man A: “…”
“To the martyrs’ cemetery now.” The teacher on the bus stood up and said, “Our extracurricular lesson today is to visit the newly built statue of Comrade Tan Yan in the martyrs’ cemetery, everyone should be neat and spit out the gum in your mouths. Remember not to shout at the cemetery later, learn Comrade Tan Yan’s heroic deeds carefully, and write down the experience of visiting after returning home, this experience accounts for 20 points in the final exam, everyone must pay attention to it.”
The students: “…”
See it in elementary school, junior high school, high school, and even at college… This is the fate of the students in B City, who told them to be in the same city as the Martyrs Cemetery.
The college students lined up and followed the teacher into the cemetery, they were already familiar with this place, they come here every two or three years, the first time when they were still pioneers, all the children in B City brought white flowers to visit the grave of the martyr Tan Yan, and gave a flower in exchange for a memory chip, that year, all the elementary school students in B City were implanted with memory chips.
However, this time is different, a life-size statue appeared in Tan Yan’s cemetery, and the girls widened their eyes when they saw the statue: “Tan Yan is so handsome!”
“Haven’t you already read the textbook?” The boys grimaced, “No matter how handsome he was when he was young, he was still 60 years old!”
“That’s not true,” A man in a black team uniform in the cemetery said, “Tan Yan is the person with the strongest abilities in the world, in order to better fight for the country, he uses his abilities to keep his physical condition at its peak. So until the age of 60, he still looks like 18 years old.”
Black team uniform, supernatural team!
The eyes of the students who came to visit lit up, they immediately stood at attention, and saluted the team member.
Although they don’t like to recite 《Another World Survival Guide》, they all admire the soldiers of the supernatural team. Which young people don’t have a dream of being a hero, entering the other world, obtaining supernatural powers, and joining a supernatural team to protect ordinary people, which is the dream of this generation of youth.
A few days ago, one of their classmates got caught in the ‘void’, and after being rescued by the supernatural team, he became a fan of the supernatural team. Holding their face every day, saying how handsome the soldiers with supernatural powers are, really wanting to have supernatural powers to join the team, and so on.
That soldier is very casual, and he didn’t wear a military badge on his body, so he shouldn’t be on duty. Now there are black-uniformed soldiers patrolling the streets and alleys all over the country, in order to prevent supernatural beings from committing crimes and ‘voids’ suddenly appearing. As long as the soldiers are on duty, they will wear the military badge, which is a mark to identify the authenticity.
“Really always so young?” The girls were more concerned about the issue of immortality, so they approached the supernatural soldier in black and asked, “But I have seen the photos in the textbooks, he was very old when he was a civilian police officer.”
“That’s a disguise,” The supernatural soldier explained, “More than ten years ago, human beings did not have the concepts of ‘void’ and supernatural beings, Tan Yan himself is also very ignorant, thinking that he is a monster who cannot grow old, so he attaches the quantum energy in the air to his skin to make himself look much older. That’s why Tan Yan has two cemeteries, there is another one in Ping County, in order to cover up his identity.”
These things were kept secret in the past, but now they can be written in Tan Yan’s biography.
“Too good, I also want to have supernatural powers, enter the ‘void’, and fight against the monsters of the other world.” A boy said with a misty-eyed look said.
“The probability of supernatural awakening is very low, but if you really have the chance to awaken, then on behalf of the supernatural team, I welcome passionate and patriotic young people like you to join.” The soldier shook the boy’s hand and smiled very kindly.
Accompanied by the supernatural warriors, the students learned a lot about the ‘void’, supernatural powers, and Tan Yan, and felt that they had gained a lot, after returning, they don’t have to worry about not being able to write their experience.
There was a group of elementary school students visiting the cemetery with them, they lined up one by one to send flowers, and the college students voluntarily stepped back to let the elementary school students go first.
When it was a chubby little boy’s turn, he touched his chest and found that the white flowers he was wearing were gone. Seeing everyone holding flowers in their hands, he burst into tears of anxiety.
The supernatural soldier standing with the college students hurried over and touched the little boy’s head. He squeezed the flowers placed in front of the tombstone, which were paper flowers made in the handicraft class. After analyzing the structure of the paper, he scooped up his hand in the air, and a white paper flower appeared in his palm out of thin air.
The supernatural soldier handed the paper flower to the little boy and rubbed his hair, the little fat boy smiled through the tears.
The eyeballs of college students are about to pop out, this is not magic, but flowers that appear out of thin air.
“I know this kind of ability is the deconstruction of objects, a very special ability, among all the supernatural beings in the country, only one person has this ability!” A student suddenly screamed out, “It’s Captain Liang, the captain of the supernatural team!”
“Oh my God, we came to visit the martyrs’ cemetery and Captain Liang personally explained to us?” A girl makes a fainting appearance, “Didn’t Captain Liang turn thirty-one this year? I see he’s about the same age as us, and also so handsome!”
“It must be because of the supernatural ability…” A student guessed.
For a while, the crowd was more excited about the supernatural powers. Not only are they not afraid of the ‘void’, but they hope that they can have the opportunity to enter, and also get special abilities to join the team.
Today is Saturday, after sweeping the curtain for the martyrs, the elementary school students will be able to have a holiday. The teacher sent the elementary school students back to their residences one by one, the little fat boy who lost his paper flower got off the bus in front of a tutoring class, he still had an after-school tutoring today.
He pushed open the door, and there were already five children waiting inside, one of the girls with braided hair said angrily: “Fatty Yang, you are late!”
“I visited the martyrs’ tombstones and sent flowers to the martyrs!” Fatty Yang said with his chest puffed up.
“Is that so?” The teacher of the training class came out and handed a cup of warm water to the little fatty, “What has happened?”
“I lost my flowers,” Fatty Yang said, “But an uncle gave me a flower, his hand grabbed in the air, and a flower appeared, exactly the same as mine!”
“The flower lost?” The young male teacher frowned slightly, “Is it really lost?”
“It should be.” Fatty Yang recalled, “I clearly remember pinning it on my chest, who knows that it will disappear when I touch it.”
He showed the teacher his fat little hand, which was wearing a white glove.
The teacher took a look at his gloves and frowned slightly: “Your glove is torn.”
“Ah?” Fatty Yang is terrified, “How did this happen? I today, did I touch anything today?”
The young teacher held up his glove and said: “There is only a small hole, that should be pierced by a brooch on the chest when holding the paper flower. It’s not your fault, it’s the poor quality of the gloves, can not resist the sharp object spikes. Paper flowers will disappear not because they are lost, but because your skin touches the flowers, have you touched other items with this hand after that?”
“No.” Fatty Yang shook his head, “I always remember what you said, Tan Laoshi, I seldom touch things with this hand.”
“Then that’s good.” Tan Laoshi took off Fatty Yang’s glove and took out another transparent glove from a box and put it on for him.
“It just so happened that I made new gloves for you, the gloves are transparent, high breathability, but also more wear-resistant. There is not much difference between wearing it and touching objects directly with your hands, it will be much more comfortable.”
“Great!” After putting on the gloves, Fatty Yang found that it was really transparent and he couldn’t tell that he was wearing gloves without pulling them, “I’ll wear them to write in the future, it’s hard to use my left hand all the time, but anything I touch with my right hand will disappear.”
“Bell, bell~” A stag cries out disdainfully and looks at the glove with contempt.
“Oh, it won’t disappear when touching Brother Little Deer,” Fatty Yang said, “And also Tan Laoshi.”
Tan Laoshi smiled gently: “That’s because Brother Little Deer and I have stronger consciousness than you, so we are not affected by your abilities. Today we are going to talk about how to control your own consciousness, as long as you learn it, you will not have to worry about your own power will hurt others in the future.”
When he said that, he entered the lecture state, and several small children immediately sat upright and listened attentively to Tan Laoshi’s lecture. The little deer also stood side by side with them like a student, looking up at Tan Laoshi on the podium.
The wind chimes in front of the door rang, and the students all focused on listening and not looking back. The visitor didn’t bother them either, but sat down at a small table at the back of the classroom and looked intently at Tan Laoshi.
After an hour and a half, today’s class is over. The parents of the students came to pick up the children, and Tan Laoshi handed over the children to them, after everyone left, he went to the back seat to pull up the person who had been lying on the small table, that person was wearing a black team uniform, he was the supernatural soldier who was sweeping the grave in the cemetery.
“Not on duty today?” Tan Laoshi asked.
“Hand it over to the squad leader below, ten years have passed, they should have the ability to lead the team alone, this time it’s an E-level world, just in time to grind new recruits.” Liang Xian put his arms around Tan Laoshi, and leaned his head on his shoulder coquettishly, “I’m not skipping work, I’m here to see the future flowers of the motherland, the future pillar of the supernatural team, and their instructor, Tan Laoshi.”
Tan Laoshi has been doting on Liang Xian for ten years, letting him rely on himself: “Today is my birthday, after a while people from the supernatural team will come, saying that it is to celebrate my tenth birthday this year.”
Hearing that those people were coming, Liang Xian immediately straightened up and put on a serious look: “None of them ask for leave, let’s see how I teach them a lesson later!”
“They asked me to help take a leave of absence, will you approve it?” Tan Laoshi asked.
“This…” Captain Liang looked at Tan Laoshi, nodded, and inclined his side face, “I will approve it with a kiss.”
Tan Laoshi smiled and kissed him, but at that moment, a group of people walked into the classroom.
“Hey, hey!” Cui Heyu covered the little deer’s eyes, “Don’t you two see that there are children here? I know it’s not Tan Yan’s fault, it must be Liang Xian, a brazen brat, who forced you.”
Tan Laoshi naturally let go of Liang Xian and said to the visitor: “Thank you for coming to celebrate my birthday.”
Liang Xian, Qin Li, Ah San, Qiu Qizheng, Cui Heyu, Yan Yongfeng, Tu Zishi, Yang Shumei, as well as the teacher of this training class, Tan Yan, the comrades from the original supernatural team, not one less.
Tomorrow is the last chapter!! To celebrate my first ever completed project, I will post the last chapter and all 4 extra chapter tomorrow.
