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

Zhou Yuanshan just chuckled, his tone somewhat helpless: "There's nothing we can do, we're short-staffed."

"There are supernatural events everywhere, and we simply don't have enough manpower to send someone to take you to the Countermeasures Bureau for one-on-one registration."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Qi Wu again.

"By the way, please fill out a form to register your awakened superpower as well."

"It should be body enhancement, right? Similar to Sun Hao, but it's not just the right arm that's enhanced, it's the whole body."

"And the enhancement level is very high."

Qi Wu replied evasively, "I don't know, I just feel like he's very strong."

Zhou Yuanshan laughed, clearly not believing it, but he didn't press further.

"Your superpowers are quite strong. If you have the capacity, help deal with the various supernatural incidents in Donghai City."

"I'll send you a website in a bit. It lists supernatural events that have been discovered but haven't been resolved yet, and there are bounties for them. The Federation will pay you money if you solve them, and the amount isn't small."

Qi Wu nodded, then asked somewhat strangely, "Aren't you going to recruit me into the Countermeasures Bureau?"

Zhou Yuanshan shook his head: "We train our staff internally; we don't recruit from outside."

"However, we will also make use of the power of your civilian superpowered individuals."

He paused again at this point, as if pondering his choice of words.

"No, they should be called extraordinary individuals."

"There are also some people who haven't awakened superpowers, but accidentally control vengeful spirits and obtain items from ghost stories; they can also be considered extraordinary individuals."

Qi Wu wasn't surprised to hear this.

After all, Sun Hao had only said before that he might join the Countermeasures Bureau.

He'd never even met anyone from the countermeasures bureau, so how could he possibly know the accurate situation?

Qi Wu then asked, "Are you short-handed?"

Zhou Yuanshan didn't mince words and simply nodded: "That's right."

"Take the Donghai City branch as an example. We have far fewer frontline staff than you might imagine."

He didn't say exactly how many people there were, but Qi Wu found it strange. Could it really be a single digit?

Zhou Yuanshan seemed very busy. He glanced at the time, added Qi Wu as a friend, pulled him into a group chat, sent a website link, and then prepared to leave.

Before leaving, however, he took something out of his pocket and handed it to Qi Wu.

It was an ID card with a logo printed on the front and the words "Countermeasures Bureau" written below it.

But when Qi Wu opened it, he found three words written inside.

Temporary worker.

Qi Wu: "..."

He looked up at Zhou Yuanshan, his eyes filled with speechlessness.

Zhou Yuanshan smiled and explained, "The only use of this badge is that it can prevent sheriffs from interfering when you are dealing with supernatural events, but it cannot command the sheriffs."

Qi Wu was not surprised.

Zhou Yuanshan could give him this thing away casually; it didn't even have a name or a photo on it.

If someone has a lot of power, it will be bad if someone wants to mess things up.

Zhou Yuanshan didn't say anything more, and turned to leave with the scarred young man and the girl with the single ponytail.

Before leaving, the girl with the single ponytail turned back and glanced at Qi Wu, her gaze lingering on him for two seconds, her eyes seeming to be lusting after him.

That's way too much.

Qi Wu pretended not to see it.

Only after the three figures disappeared from the riverbank did Liu Yang and Zhao Peng approach.

Zhao Peng asked excitedly, "Brother Wu, have you been recruited?"

Qi Wu glanced at the ID card in his hand that read "Temporary Worker" and his lips twitched.

"To incorporate?"

He opened the document and showed Zhao Peng the three words inside.

"At most, I'm a temporary worker, nothing special."

Zhao Peng glanced at it, but he wasn't disappointed.

"Then we can form our own superhuman organization!"

Liu Yang nodded, unusually agreeing: "Brother Peng is right this time."

Zhao Peng was taken aback, then turned to look at Liu Yang, his face full of flattery: "Yangzi, you finally acknowledge me?"

Liu Yang objected: "Call me Brother Yang!"

Zhao Peng said with a grin, "Right now, I only recognize Brother Wu as my brother."

Liu Yang ignored him and looked at Qi Wu, saying, "I feel like the Countermeasures Bureau is encouraging ordinary people with supernatural abilities to handle supernatural events themselves."

Qi Wu nodded: "Yes, the Countermeasures Bureau may really be short-staffed."

He didn't say anything more, and instead clicked into the group chat.

The group is called the "Donghai City Extraordinary Individuals Mutual Aid and Exchange Group".

As soon as he entered, messages started flooding in, one after another.

[Thunder King: Welcome, newcomer!]

[Vulcan: Another one here, pro, please carry me!]

[Gonggong: Newcomers, tell us what superpowers you've awakened?]

Qi Wu didn't chat in the group, so he directly opened the group member list.

94 people.

There are only 94 people.

It's important to know that Donghai City has a total of ten million permanent residents.

There are only 94 extraordinary individuals.

Even if we don't exclude the official personnel from the countermeasures bureau in the group, there are still fewer than a hundred people.

They are one in ten thousand.

Moreover, not all of these 94 people are superpowered.

Some may have been commanding vengeful spirits, while others may have been using items from ghost stories.

True superhumans are even rarer.

Qi Wu scrolled up through the history messages and noticed that the group was discussing Sun Hao.

Judging from the chat history, Sun Hao was not in the group at all.

This means that not all extraordinary individuals joined this group.

Some extraordinary individuals registered, but were not recruited.

Sun Hao said he was registered by the sheriff and did not encounter anyone from the countermeasures bureau.

That's probably why he hasn't been added to the group yet.

It seems the countermeasures bureau is really short-staffed, and can't even take care of the local civilian superhumans.

Qi Wu closed the group chat, put his phone away, and glanced at the Qingchuan Bridge in the distance.

Rescue workers are still retrieving the eight bodies from the river.

The sun was already beginning to set in the west, and the river surface was dyed a golden hue.

He put the temporary worker's ID card in his pocket and said to Zhao Peng and Liu Yang, "Let's go, back to school."

Zhao Peng pointed to the water ghost's corpse on the ground and asked, "Brother Wu, what should we do with this corpse?"

Qi Wu glanced at it: "Take him away."

Zhao Peng was dumbfounded.

"Take it away? We're just walking away with a corpse? Won't we be mistaken for murderers?"

"Brother Wu, look at our setup. One person is carrying a severed head, and two people are dragging a headless corpse. If we were walking down the street like this, we wouldn't even need the sheriff to arrest us; the elderly folks would be able to pin us down."

Liu Yang nodded beside him, his expression very serious.

"Yeah, and you can't bring this back to school."

"Although Aunt Wang, the dormitory supervisor, has poor eyesight, she can still recognize the corpse."

"Besides, if this thing starts to rot, the whole building will explode."

Could Qi Wu not have thought of these things?

He looked at the sheriff maintaining order not far away.

"Looks like we'll have to ask the sheriff for help."

Qi Wu took out the temporary worker's ID and walked over.

He was greeted by a sheriff in his early thirties.

Square face, buzz cut, looks quite capable.

Upon seeing the documents in Qi Wu's hand, he paused for a moment, then his expression became subtle, as if he wanted to say something but held back.

"A superhuman?"

Qi Wu nodded.
