The Scarlet Hunt

Beijing City.

"Classmates, today we are very honored to have the famous member of the Crimson Ghost Hunting Squad, Zhang Kai, to give us a lecture on this paranormal course. Let's give him a round of applause!"

Following the teacher's words, a somewhat lazy looking young man walked up to the podium with a bored expression.

"Wow, it's actually the Crimson Ghost Hunting Squad!"

"They must be at least B-rank by now!"

A group of students looked on excitedly, eagerly watching the entrance.

In the corner of the classroom, Wang Ye heard the teacher's voice, a hint of contemplation flashing through his eyes.

The Crimson Ghost Hunting Squad?

They should be considered a decent team, in his memory this squad eventually became A-rank, but they wiped out in a paranormal incident.

At that time it caused quite a stir.

Just then, a lazy looking young man wandered up with a bored expression on his face.

"First of all, as someone involved, I feel it's meaningless for me to give you all a lecture."

Zhang Kai's first sentence left all the students stunned in place.

"If it wasn't for that pitiful 1 credit, I wouldn't have shown up here in my life."

"Perhaps in the near future, you will all become corpses."

"Of course, if you get lucky and survive a paranormal incident, you may still need our rescue and become a burden."

"Or even sacrifice paranormals because of you all."

"That is your value."

Zhang Kai's icy words kept echoing in the classroom.

It also made the faces of all the students in front pale.

In the corner, Wang Ye listened to Zhang Kai's words and subconsciously nodded. In paranormal incidents, ordinary people are completely burdensome existences. If they're smart, obedient, and can follow orders then that's fine.

But if they only know how to cower in the corner screaming and crying...

That is completely harmful.

Even a single person's existence could lead to mistakes and wipeouts of entire rescue operations.

So later, policies were changed.

If this happens, they can be abandoned directly, and if necessary, even killed, in exchange for the survival of the majority.

Although it sounds cruel, in the era of terrifying resurrection, this...is reality.

"So the only thing I can teach you all is, if a paranormal incident occurs, be clear about your position, don't drag others down, that's already the greatest help to paranormals."

Hearing Zhang Kai's words, a male student in front couldn't help but stand up and retorted unwillingly: "Aren't you looking down on us too much? On what basis can you say we're burdens?"

"On what basis?"

Zhang Kai gradually dropped his lazy demeanor, his gaze as sharp as blades, staring fixedly at the student.

"The basis is that you can still safely live in school now, saying such childish words!"

"The basis is us people constantly sacrificing innocently outside because of countless people like you!"

As he spoke, Zhang Kai fiercely slammed down on the podium, instantly shattering it. Some timid people leaning in front couldn't help but scream.

As Zhang Kai lost control of his emotions, bizarre green lights flickered in his eyes.

The sudden situation scared the male student who had stood up earlier ghostly pale, standing frozen in place at a loss.

Looking at the terrified students in the classroom, a hint of disappointment flashed through Zhang Kai's eyes.

Are these people the so-called future?

If the future is in the hands of these people, will this world continue to exist...

The next second, Wang Ye in the corner came into Zhang Kai's line of sight.

Neither the shattering of the podium nor the changes in the lights seemed to have affected Wang Ye. He still sat calmly in the corner, seeming to be waiting for Zhang Kai to continue speaking.

"Interesting."

A bizarre smile emerged on Zhang Kai's mouth.

This is an intriguing kid.

But in Zhang Kai's eyes, at best he was just interesting.

"That's all I have to say. I hope you can all enjoy this hard-earned life."

Having said that, Zhang Kai once again resumed his previous lazy appearance and listlessly left the classroom.

In the corner.

A thoughtful look flashed through Wang Ye's eyes.

Indeed, not everything will proceed in order like in my previous life.

As long as I make changes in my actions, my experiences will also differ from my previous life.

In that case, can I...

not die this time?

In my previous life, I never awakened the paranormal abilities in my body, yet as an ordinary person I became a member of an A-rank hunting squad.

In the eyes of many ordinary people, Wang Ye was always seen as an idol-like existence.

But in the end, an ordinary person is still just an ordinary person.

No matter how calm when encountering events, how high one's intelligence, fighting skills are, when facing high-level paranormal incidents, one is still so powerless.

Heaven gave me a chance to relive my life, but...

I'm still just an ordinary person in the end.

A bitter smile emerged on the corner of Wang Ye's mouth. In his previous life he had tested countless times already, he had absolutely no possibility of awakening paranormal abilities.

Just as Wang Ye was lost in thought.

Zhang Kai, who had left earlier, now returned to the classroom with a grave expression.

"I'm honored to inform you all of some news, we...have been caught up in a paranormal incident."

"I've already requested backup from the team captain, now what we need to do is try our best to survive for the next 30 minutes."

"Good luck to you all."

As the students fell into a daze, the lights instantly went dark.

The entire classroom was plunged into darkness.

"..."

Wang Ye leaned silently in the corner, sighing helplessly.

Did he get caught up in this kind of thing right after transferring to start an experiment at the neighboring city?

Did a paranormal incident happen at this school in his previous life?

Wang Ye had no impression of it at all.

After all, paranormal incidents happen too frequently every year.

In the darkness, Zhang Kai's icy voice rang out again.

"Current paranormal index, unknown."

"Killing pattern, unknown."

"If you don't want to die, I suggest you hide in the corners, close your eyes, don't speak, don't move, don't make a sound."

"Only this way can you maximize the possibility of not making a mistake."

"Of course...if you're looking to die, go ahead as you wish."

After speaking, sobs and chaos could be heard in the darkness.

Zhang Kai seemed to have already anticipated that these students would not obediently follow his instructions. He was not surprised at all, only a hint of green light shining in his eyes.

This was his awakened paranormal ability.

Green glow.

In the corner, Wang Ye helplessly shouldered his backpack. He didn't expect to get caught up in a paranormal incident right after his rebirth.

His current physical fitness was still very low...

Sighing, a map of the classroom surfaced in Wang Ye's mind.

As an ordinary person, if he couldn't even remember basic terrain, he was not fit to join an A-rank squad.

Very quickly, he nimbly dodged between desks and chairs and arrived at Zhang Kai's side.

"Buddy, need an extra person on your team?"

"Take me with you."

In the darkness, Wang Ye looked in the direction of Zhang Kai's last appearance in his memory and said with a smile.
