From picking up corpses to becoming a true god of America

The nearby residents and the patrol officers who came to their aid stood scattered not far away, watching the two people walking toward the scene with indifferent expressions.

Although Seth had experienced many similar things, he still couldn't help but feel a little sad every time he came to the scene.

"Be careful, Ye."

Seth turned around, but after noticing Ye Xiao's calm expression, a look of surprise and shame flashed in his eyes.

"These bodies may carry highly infectious diseases. Are you sure you've taken adequate precautions?"

"I'm sure."

Ye Xiao took a deep breath and nodded.

"it is good."

Seth crossed the warning line and was the first to enter the alley, where he immediately saw a disgusting scene.

In a dark alley where the streetlights couldn't reach, several corpses resembling zombies were twisted and piled together.

The spurting blood mixed with vomit and excrement, covering the ground.

Seth could imagine the scene.

But when he saw it with his own eyes, his face under the mask still distorted, and his hand holding the toolbox trembled slightly.

As an outstanding police officer, Seth has handled many cases.

But each encounter with these corpses placed an extremely heavy psychological burden on him.

So much so that even someone who doesn't like cleanliness started to develop some obsessive-compulsive tendencies.

Give me the tools.

Just then, a hand suddenly reached out and took the toolbox from Seth's hand.

Seth snapped out of his daze and was surprised to find that Ye Xiao had walked over alone.

"He is African American."

Despite the strong stench that even a mask couldn't block, Ye Xiao carefully examined the odor with a flashlight.

The four corpses were tightly intertwined, their limbs twisted, their faces contorted, and two of them even had strange, maniacal laughs on their faces.

His mouth was filled with pus and blood, and the flies around him formed a thin mist.

The annoying buzzing of flies, mixed with the flashing of police lights and the delirious howls of the surviving homeless man, formed an eerie symphony.

"There are four people in total. They are malnourished and have no vital signs. They have symptoms of hypothermia, but it doesn't look like they froze to death. There is reason to suspect an overdose of prohibited drugs. A test is needed."

"Seth, have you notified the medical examiner?"

"Seth?"

Upon hearing this, Seth stared blankly with his eyes wide open, feeling as if the confusion in his mind was like thick oatmeal porridge.

"What?"

"What, what?"

Ye Xiao turned around, puzzled.

WTF!

What else could it be?

Are you a pervert?

He showed absolutely no emotional reaction to the corpse?

Even a police officer like Seth, who has seen many corpses, needs to go through a period of mental preparation first.

Unlike Ye Xiao, who acts as if nothing happened.

"It's nothing."

Seth sighed, turned around and said, "The walkie-talkie is in the car, I'll go and notify them right away."

"OK."

Seeing that Seth had left, Ye Xiao calmly reached out and touched the four corpses in front of him.

It would be a lie to say that Ye Xiao had no emotional fluctuations whatsoever.

But at this moment, his desire for extraordinary power had surpassed his fear of the corpse.

Besides, what's so scary about the corpses of these homeless people compared to gangs and financial companies?

If Ye Xiao doesn't work hard, he might be the one in Seth's body bag in the future.

Ye Xiao forced himself to calm down and, taking advantage of Seth's absence, quietly reached out his hand.

Just as he touched the corpse, a familiar, unusual sensation, like static electricity, flowed from his fingertips into his chest.

Unlike in the morning, a feeling of madness surfaced in my mind.

Ye Xiao has never smoked, let alone gotten involved with those kinds of things.

But at this moment, he felt a shiver running through every pore of his body.

Yet, within this madness, there seems to be suppressed extreme pain and sorrow.

What is this?

Ye Xiao felt a sense of surprise, but soon a strong emotion overwhelmed him.

My heart was pounding, my breathing was rapid, and my eyes were red and hot.

Ye Xiao squatted quietly on the ground, staring at the bright streetlights, clenching his fists tightly until his fingers went numb, which finally eased his tension a little.

Damn, I didn't know this thing had such serious side effects?

Ye Xiao felt that the clothes under his protective suit were soaked with cold sweat.

He really wants to find a bar and get drunk, then hug two hot girls and vent his fear and shock.

But Ye Xiao must remain calm and not let anyone notice anything unusual about him.

He knew Seth was a good man.

However, before possessing absolute strength, any act of exposing oneself could lead to death.

"Let's go, the forensic doctor will be here later, let's take the body back first."

Seth quickly returned with body bags. After inspecting the bodies, he and Ye Xiao put the four corpses into the bags and returned them to the car.

By this time, a large crowd of curious onlookers had gathered outside.

The phones they were holding up had their flashlights on, clearly indicating they were recording videos or taking photos.

Since TikTok came to the United States, people here have started to become as abstract as they are in China.

However, due to the unique local customs and culture of Xida University, the content here is more sensational and anti-intellectual.

The morgue in the basement of the police station, and the office separated from the freezer by only one wall.

Fried doughnuts, coffee—a simple and classic police officer's meal.

Exhausted, Ye Xiao wolfed down his food.

Although the donuts here were so greasy that he felt like his pancreas was about to explode.

But this high-fat, high-sugar calorie bomb is one of the most affordable ways for people at the bottom of society to replenish their energy.

Seth sat opposite Ye Xiao, looking at him with a complicated expression.

"Ye, are you really just a student at the University of Washington?"

"Didn't you see my student ID?"

Ye Xiao smiled wearily and said, "Or do you think I'm the DC Joker disguised as a student, infiltrating the police station?"

"Haha, Ye, I didn't expect you guys from Dongda University to be so humorous."

Seth smiled and praised him sincerely.

"Of course, I didn't expect a student to be so calm."

"Isn't it just collecting corpses?"

Ye Xiao forced a smile: "It's better than turning into a corpse."

"You did a great job, kid. Few people can stay as calm as you."

"Thank you, Seth."

Ye Xiao forced a smile and sincerely thanked him.

Having witnessed tonight's scene, he could roughly understand why his senior brothers were unwilling to come over.

If you could focus on scientific research in peace, who would want to come to such a messy place?

It's probably because the police station is severely understaffed, and Professor Erich also wants to maintain his relationship with the sheriff.

They could only send Ye Xiao, their most incompetent disciple, to deal with it.

It was late at night when I left the police station.

Ye Xiao shrank his neck. Although he was cold and tired, he felt exceptionally at ease.

I don't know what effect the obtained seeds will have.

I wish I had the abilities of Superman or Captain America.

On the bus back to his dormitory, he quietly opened a panel that only he could see.

[Obtain a white common seed: Strong]

Not a buddy?

Ye Xiao looked at the two seeds in his palm that were faintly glowing, and his thoughts paused for a moment.

What is this thing?
