After Death, I Became a Superhuman

The battle armor and cape, after being removed, receded from Jiang Bei's body like liquid metal, revealing the casual clothes underneath.

He straightened his collar, lowered his head to confirm that there were no traces of Superman's work left on his body, and then arrived at the door of the Pear Blossom Cake shop.

The shop door was already closed, but the lights were still on inside. Jiang Bei knocked on the door.

A sound of chairs being moved came from inside the house, followed by the gradually approaching footsteps. Soon, a man with a slightly plump figure appeared behind the door, with a thick layer of grease on his face and a fine stubble on his chin.

"Sorry, sir, we're closed," the shop owner said. "You can come back tomorrow morning. We open at eight o'clock."

"Ah," Jiang Bei showed a very regretful expression. "But by that time, I'll probably have already flown back. My daughter really wants to eat your Pear Blossom Cake. She repeatedly told me to remember to bring a box back. She definitely won't let me off."

"Um... alright. Just wait a moment."

The shop owner busied himself behind the door, followed by the sound of unlocking.

He pushed open the door, took two steps back to let Jiang Bei in.

"Girls can really give people a hard time, right?" the shop owner smiled. "But they're still better. Unlike me, I didn't have that luck and ended up with a stupid son."

As he spoke, he opened the counter and looked up.

"What flavor do you want?"

"A little bit of each," Jiang Bei replied, continuing the conversation. "What's wrong with having a son?"

"A son will only grow up to be more and more like his old man," the shop owner took out a food clip and picked out a piece of Pear Blossom Cake. "Just like mine, becoming more and more of a scoundrel..."

Just as he was speaking, a voice came from behind: "Dad!"

"You see, here he comes again," the shop owner impatiently turned his head. "What now? I have a customer here."

"Customers at this late hour?"

A young man who looked seventeen or eighteen years old appeared in the shop wearing a vest and boxer shorts. He smiled at Jiang Bei and then turned to the shop owner.

"Dad, it's like this, it's about the motorcycle..."

"Again with this? Still want to buy a motorcycle?" The shop owner glared at him angrily. "Didn't you hear that your cousin died from a motorcycle accident last week?"

The young man was stunned. "Is that true?"

"Otherwise?"

"Ah, I didn't hear about it..." The young man scratched his head. "Then forget it, I won't buy it."

"That's right," the shop owner grumbled. "Just ride your cousin's bike."

Young man: ?

Jiang Bei: ?

"Here's your Pear Blossom Cake." The shop owner turned his head, restored a smile on his face, and placed the packaged bag of Pear Blossom Cake on the counter.

Jiang Bei pondered.

To be honest, when the shop owner said earlier that his son was becoming more and more like him and more and more of a scoundrel, he thought the person was just being modest. He didn't expect it to be the truth...

Carrying the bag, Jiang Bei walked through the empty street and headed towards the dark alley behind.

Although there didn't seem to be many people on the street, he still preferred to take off from a more concealed location.

It would be even better if there was a telephone booth.

As Jiang Bei walked, he casually took out a piece of Pear Blossom Cake from the bag and took a bite. The high-quality pear petals and rice flour melted in his mouth, and a faint pear fragrance and sweet and soft texture spread along his taste buds. The taste was truly unforgettable.

Then, suddenly, Xiao Qi's sweet and soft voice rang in his ears: "Daddy~"

Jiang Bei almost choked on his mouthful of Pear Blossom Cake. He almost coughed it out.

"Cough... no, it's just a temporary measure," he coughed. "If I didn't say that, he definitely wouldn't have opened the door for me."

"I don't care, bring it back quickly, I want to eat it!"@@novelbin@@

"I know, I know, I'll be back soon," Jiang Bei stuffed the remaining half of the Pear Blossom Cake into his mouth and resealed the plastic bag.

"Oh, by the way, there's a fool who wants to ambush you," Xiao Qi casually said. "You better activate your battle armor."

"What?"

Although he didn't know the situation, he knew that Xiao Qi's eyes never made mistakes. She could see everything.

Therefore, as soon as he heard her speak, the battle armor had already been activated. The deep blue uniform appeared in an instant, and the cape billowed out.

In the dark alley without streetlights, it was pitch black and he couldn't see his hand in front of his face. But the darkness could no longer affect his senses. Jiang Bei casually stepped aside, and a black shadow flew past him like a whirlwind.

Jiang Bei focused his gaze and saw the attacker clearly.

A slender figure, bloodshot blood-red eyes. Pale and somewhat eerie skin, mysterious and dangerous under the moonlight.

But the most eye-catching thing was his teeth.

Sharp and dangerous teeth protruded from his blood-colored lips, matching the image of the legendary Kindred.

"Vampire?" Jiang Bei was somewhat surprised. "So there really is such a thing?""Just a variant of the Extraordinary Beings. They are stronger in the dark compared to their counterparts, but they fear light and are always thirsty for blood... Quite pathetic, actually."

As he spoke, he could still hear the sound of Xiao Qi's controller buttons and the gunfire in the game.

The vampire bared its fangs, its blood-red eyes full of thirst: "You smell particularly delicious, I bet you taste even better~"

Jiang Bei raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself, doesn't this guy watch the news? Or is it that the propaganda of his own alliance is not strong enough, that there are still people who don't recognize him?

He had even shown his red cloak, and the guy in front of him still didn't run away. Either he was a fool or a brute...

...Oh right, almost forgot, they don't have X-ray vision.

At this moment, Jiang Bei's vision amplification was unlocked, so there was no difference between day and night in his eyes. But this alley was pitch black without any light source, if the other party didn't have night vision, they probably couldn't see clearly.

Many people would think that vampires should have strong night vision, but this branch of Extraordinary Beings didn't. Their vision was equally poor during the day and night.

"I want your blood!"

Completely unaware of what he was facing, the Kindred Extraordinary Being let out a roar, his figure as fast as a shadow, his mouth hanging a cruel, expectant, and excited smile.

Then, just before he pounced on his target, his smile suddenly disappeared.

Wait a minute, this blue uniform, this cloak, and this handsome face that seemed familiar but he just couldn't remember where he had seen it...

Kindred Extraordinary Being: !?

This... this can't be... is it that...

Jiang Bei stood in place, lazily raising an arm.

He threw a punch.

The Kindred Extraordinary Being instantly saw the most terrifying sight he had ever seen in his life.

Under that punch, the world seemed to lose its color, the houses, streets, and even the whole reality seemed to be stripped away.

In his fear-dominated consciousness, the only thing left in the world was that one word that occupied everything.

Death.

The Kindred Extraordinary Being almost split apart.

Superman! It's damn Superman!

What are the odds? Damn it, in a broken town tens of thousands of miles away from Kontu, randomly catching a passerby for a midnight snack, and fuck, it's Superman??

Is this the retribution for sucking too much human blood?

If he had known it was this plague god, even if he was castrated, he wouldn't dare to come and seek death!

Under the pressure that seemed like the world was collapsing, the Extraordinary Being tried his best to control his trembling lips and spit out three words: "I'm sorry..."

Boom!

The punch landed, and the dust settled.

Jiang Bei withdrew his fist and shook his hand.

"Well, be more careful in your next life."
