Can the revival of the extraordinary be achieved by merging the Superman template?

Two hours later.

Qi Wu and his two companions walked out of the gate of Hanlin Residential Area.

Zhao Peng and Liu Yang looked as if they had been pulled out of the water, covered in sweat, with strands of hair sticking to their foreheads, and their clothes were soaked through, the kind that could be wrung out.

Qi Wu, on the other hand, hasn't changed much.

After all, he has a super body. Two hours of exposure to the sun is about the same as sitting in an air-conditioned room for two hours.

I felt completely dry and didn't break a sweat.

Zhao Peng wiped his sweat as he walked, muttering to himself.

"Brother Wu, this trip was a waste of time."

"We wandered around the neighborhood for two hours, like three headless flies, and found nothing."

"We don't even know which building, floor, or room number the person who filmed that video lives in. How are we supposed to find out?"

"He's not replying to my private messages. Could he be dead?"

Liu Yang rolled her eyes: "Can you please stop cursing people?"

Zhao Peng looked completely innocent: "This is just a reasonable guess."

"Think about it, if that delivery driver is willing to risk his own head to deliver food, do you think the person filming the video will have a good ending?"

Liu Yang analyzed, "I don't think Hanlin Community is the key."

"The key issue isn't the neighborhood, it's ordering takeout in the middle of the night."

Qi Wu nodded: "That's right."

He recalled the content of the video.

"I reckon you might see that monster if you order takeout in the middle of the night."

Zhao Peng quickly suggested, "How about we try ordering takeout in the middle of the night?"

"Anyway, Brother Wu has superpowers, so he can knock him down with one punch."

Liu Yang looked at him like he was an idiot.

"What are you thinking about?"

"First, delivery drivers can't enter the campus; they just put the food in the delivery locker and leave."

"Secondly, our dormitory building locks its doors at 11 PM and closes at 6 AM. If you order takeout in the middle of the night, you won't be able to leave the building to pick it up."

Zhao Peng opened his mouth, wanting to refute, but after a long while, he closed it again.

Liu Yang ignored him and turned to look at Qi Wu.

"Brother Wu, what do we do next?"

Qi Wu had already taken out his phone and started watching videos, his fingers swiping rapidly across the screen.

"Check if there are any other videos related to the supernatural in the city. If not, go back to the dorm and wait for the sheriff to come find us."

"Didn't Sun Hao say that people who awaken superpowers will be registered?"

"The sheriff has already spoken to him, so he'll probably come looking for me too."

"After all, there were quite a few people at the eerie restaurant before, and the police should have noticed me by now."

Liu Yang nodded: "Okay, I'll take a look too."

He also took out his phone and started searching for local videos.

Seeing this, Zhao Peng also took out his phone.

So the three of them squatted under a tree at the entrance of Hanlin Residential Area, looking down at their phones.

It took about ten minutes to refresh.

Liu Yang's voice suddenly rang out, his tone tinged with urgency.

"Come watch this video!"

He handed the phone to the two of them.

Qi Wu took the phone, and Zhao Peng also leaned over, his head almost touching the screen.

The video shows a bridge.

Eight people were standing on the bridge, lined up in a row, all standing outside the railing.

Without any hesitation, without any conversation.

Eight people jumped down.

One by one, as if they had rehearsed, they all left in perfect unison.

The background music in the video was all exclamations.

The person filming the video was clearly frightened; the camera was shaking and the footage was shaky, but it was still clear that all eight people had fallen into the water.

By this time, the video had already garnered a considerable number of views, and the comment section was overflowing with comments, making it impossible to read them all.

After looking at it, Zhao Peng looked blank: "Isn't this... the Qingchuan Bridge?"

He scratched his head, somewhat puzzled: "So what if someone jumps into the river? Does that count as a supernatural event?"

"Maybe he's just having a mental breakdown. Students are under so much pressure these days, it's understandable."

Qi Wu shook his head: "It's very unusual for eight people to jump into the river at the same time."

Liu Yang nodded: "Yeah, normally when someone commits suicide, there aren't this many people jumping into the river together, are there?"

"You think this is like cooking dumplings?"

Zhao Peng stubbornly replied, "It's hard to say, maybe it was pre-arranged?"

"Good friends, hand in hand, let's walk together."

Liu Yang was speechless, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

Qi Wu didn't participate in their argument; he just glanced at the release time.

The video was posted a little over an hour ago, so I can make it over there to check it out.

Qi Wu handed the phone back to Liu Yang: "Let's go take a look."

Zhao Peng was slightly taken aback: "Huh? You're really going?"

Qi Wu glanced at him and explained, "Anyway, it's not far away."

It takes about half an hour to get from Hanlin Community to Qingchuan Bridge by shared bike, but it's even faster by taxi.

Zhao Peng took out his phone: "Let's take a taxi then. I'll call one."

Qi Wu glanced at him: "Not riding your bike anymore?"

Zhao Peng looked pained, his face contorted in pain.

"Why are you riding a bike? The sun is baking me! If I ride for another ten minutes, I'll turn into jerky."

……

Soon, a ride-hailing car stopped in front of the three of them.

The three got into the car. Zhao Peng gave the last three digits of his phone number, then leaned back in his seat, let out a long breath, and felt like he had come back to life as the air conditioning blew in.

"Brother Wu, do you think those eight people jumped on their own, or were they pushed down by something?"

Qi Wu leaned against the car window, watching the street scene rushing past outside.

You'll know when you get there.

Zhao Peng wanted to say something more, but after seeing Qi Wu's expression, he swallowed his words.

Forget it.

We'll talk about it when we get there.

Anyway, Brother Wu is here.

If the sky falls, Brother Wu will hold it up; he only needs to shout "Brother Wu is awesome!" from behind.

This is how he defines himself.

……

Because of the taxi ride, the three of them arrived near Qingchuan Bridge in less than ten minutes.

Before the car had even come to a complete stop, Zhao Peng could see the scene in the distance through the car window.

Under the bridge, many firefighters wearing orange life jackets were searching and rescuing people in the water.

The bridge was even more lively, with police setting up a cordon along the river to prevent unauthorized personnel from watching.

But there were still quite a few onlookers, three or four layers deep, all craning their necks to watch.

Some people were taking pictures with their phones, while others were discussing it; the noise was chaotic.

"Eight people, they all jumped."

"That's terrifying. What could possibly drive eight people to such despair?"

"I think he's possessed by an evil spirit."

The three of them got out of the car.

Zhao Peng asked, "Brother Wu, what do we do if they won't let us get close?"

Qi Wu glanced around and his gaze fell on the riverbank.

The riverbank near the bridge was cordoned off, but the cordon disappeared a little further down the river.

"Let's move away, I'll find a spot to swim over."

Zhao Peng was somewhat incredulous: "Swim across?"

He looked Qi Wu up and down and asked, "Brother Wu, can you swim?"

Qi Wu answered honestly, "No."

Zhao Peng: "..."

Liu Yang: "..."

The air suddenly became quiet.

Zhao Peng couldn't hold back: "If you can't swim, how are you going to swim across?"

Qi Wu calmly said, "I can hold my breath for a long time now. After getting into the water and figuring it out, I should be able to master swimming."

Zhao Peng's eyes widened: "Holy crap, that's awesome?"

Liu Yang, who was listening nearby, gave a few words of advice: "Brother Wu, be careful."

"If there's a water ghost or something, then we're doomed."

Qi Wu smiled and said, "It's not a big problem."

He has now unlocked super breathing, and can hold his breath for days, so he can't drown at all.

Did the water ghost try to pull him down?

Sorry, he can live underwater for several days.
