I became Superman

Zhou Ming could understand Mr. Xu's feelings very well.

If he were just an ordinary person in Mr. Xu's situation, he would certainly feel the same fear and helplessness as Mr. Xu.

Feeling lost and disoriented is the most unbearable thing, even more unbearable than pain.

The feeling of having one's life order completely uprooted.

He said, "Such events are very rare. Most people will never encounter one in their lifetime. Moreover, the Empire has special agencies to handle these kinds of things and protect the lives of ordinary people. You don't need to worry too much. Just go back and live your lives as usual."

Mr. Xu and his family all had smiles on their faces.

Xu Meng asked, "Mr. Zhou, are you also someone who protects the lives of ordinary people?"

Zhou Ming thought for a moment and said, "I guess so."

"very nice!"

Xu Meng said with a wistful look.

She still clearly remembered the agreement Zhou Ming made with that terrifying guy, in which he would exchange himself for everyone else to leave.

There are many such people who stand silently between the lives of ordinary people and that terrifying world.

Xu Meng seemed to see many nameless figures, their backs to the light and their faces to the darkness, their expressions cold and resolute. She was so moved that she almost burst into tears.

"Alright, alright, this isn't a place for you to stay. Let's go!"

The officer next to them called out impatiently, urging the group to leave.

Zhou Ming frowned slightly, looked at the officer, and realized that he was the same officer who had stopped the bus and rudely driven away the people searching for their relatives.

"Do you have to use rudeness and arrogance to show how powerful you are?"

Zhou Ming said calmly.

The officer was taken aback when Zhou Ming spoke up for them.

Mr. Xu hurriedly said, "Yes, we should go now. We can't keep bothering Mr. Zhou's work. You saved our lives, and we will always remember it."

"Although we are small and weak and may not be able to do anything for Mr. Zhou, we will never hesitate to use our strength if Mr. Zhou needs us. You have our contact information."

Zhou Ming smiled and nodded, watching Mr. Xu and his family leave.

The officer stood somewhat bewildered to the side, as if he wanted to explain something to Zhou Ming.

Zhou Ming laughed and said, "Relax, you don't need to explain to me. I'm not your superior, so I can't give you a demerit, and I won't abuse my power to hurt you. Theoretically speaking, I'm just like any other ordinary person and won't have any impact on you."

"You never feel the need to explain to them, so you don't need to explain to me either."

The officer watched Zhou Ming leave, puzzled. He thought to himself, "Ordinary people can't deal with supernatural beings. How could someone with such great power be an ordinary person?"

However, he was still relieved that Mr. Zhou didn't seem to want to punish him. With his reputation for resolving the super incident, he was fully capable of doing so.

This couldn't be better.

He turned around and saw Mr. Xu and his family walking away. Suddenly, a strange feeling welled up in his heart.

Mr. Zhou can punish him or let him go, just as he can be harsh with those people or gentler.

……

When Zhou Ming returned to the command post, he found Huang Hong and others walking towards him. Cheng Weiyi had already gone to greet them. The atmosphere among the group seemed very lively, and they were discussing something with great interest.

He went forward and saw several soldiers carrying a corpse.

The corpse was very strange; it had a head the size of a water tank and a shrunken, childlike body.

Huang Hong laughed and said, "This is that guy's corpse, right there in the cave behind. No wonder he was in such a hurry to ascend to godhood."

"To sustain his thoughts, his body has mutated into this form. If he doesn't attempt to ascend to godhood, this body won't last much longer."

"Mr. Zhou, I still have some finishing work to do here, and I won't be returning to the Southwest headquarters for a few days. Would you like to stay here temporarily, or go back to Chengdu first, and I'll contact you again later?"

Zhou Ming laughed and said, "I'll go back first; there's no point in staying here."

Huang Hong nodded and immediately arranged for a plane to take them back to Chengdu.

Those traveling with him included Long Yi and Yi Jia Hui, as well as the unlucky swordsman.

The ordinary people in Shanyin Village were no match for the psychic, and were easily possessed by him, but quickly recovered.

The swordsman resisted for a quarter of an hour, but ended up injuring his own brain, and his temples were still throbbing.

Compared to physical pain, mental distress is more deadly.

He had suffered a series of setbacks, and his confidence, which had been like that of a chosen one, had been crushed. Now, sitting on the plane, he was dejected.

"You're the director of the Sichuan Province Extraordinary Beings Center?"

Zhou Ming asked curiously.

The swordsman glanced at him enviously.

This person single-handedly defeated someone he couldn't possibly fight; he's so powerful it's enviable.

He said, "Former director."

Long Yi asked in surprise, "You've been dismissed from your post?"

The swordsman shook his head and said, "Not yet. I submitted my own application. I want to switch to the hunting sequence for training."

Long Yi said admiringly, "Actually, you didn't avoid blaming yourself like this. Both of these incidents exceeded the bounds of propriety, so the fault doesn't lie with you."

The swordsman said, "Don't try to comfort me. I'm not a little kid who needs to be coaxed after a fall. I made a mistake, so I have to atone for it and be transferred to the hunting sequence. That's what I deserve."

Zhou Ming asked curiously, "What is a hunting sequence?"

Long Yi said, "There are two sequences for matters related to aliens in the Empire. One is the Guardian Sequence, which consists of alien centers in various places, mainly responsible for protecting the peace and tranquility of the cities."

"The Hunting Sequence has no base; instead, it is responsible for hunting down those outcasts who have committed serious crimes on the wanted list. This path is much more difficult and dangerous than that of the Guardian Sequence."

"oh!"

Zhou Ming exclaimed, "You're really good. Good luck!"

The swordsman said, "Thank you."

The group remained silent the entire way.

Back in Chengdu, Long Yi went back to the Pet Home, while Zhou Ming went home with Yi Jiahui.

It was already evening when I arrived at the residential area.

Downstairs, Old Zhang was wearing his signature tank top and enjoying the cool air in the neighborhood, rummaging through the trash cans for bottles and jars.

Upon seeing Zhou Ming and Yi Jiahui, his eyes lit up, and he exclaimed with a smile, "Oh, you're always together!"

As he spoke, he winked at Zhou Ming.

This Xiao Zhou is really good at listening to advice. Just a few days ago, I recommended this girl across the street to him, and now, the two of them are going out together all the time.

Young people have a bright future!

Zhou Ming smiled and said, "Uncle Zhang, are you getting used to using the computer?"

Upon hearing him mention the computer, Old Zhang's expression suddenly turned strange. He said, "It's useful. Xiao Zhou, do you want to make a copy of the study materials inside?"

Learning materials?

Zhou Ming was puzzled. This was the computer from his predecessor's previous life; he had only used it two or three times and had no idea what kind of learning materials it contained… Wait, could it be…

He and Lao Zhang exchanged a glance, both of them looking somewhat tense.

Yi Jiahui said admiringly, "Senior is so amazing, and you still keep learning every day? It seems I can't slack off either!"

Zhou Ming smiled and said, "That's right, learning is very important; knowledge is power."

Knowledge is power!

So, the senior's strength was related to knowledge?

Yi Jiahui felt that she had obtained a secret that was not to be passed on to others, and immediately memorized it.
