Boss! Can Being the Comedy Relief Really Keep Us from Dying?

[Two male leads + 1v1 + Cannon Fodder Awakening + Superpowers + A Touch of Mystery]

Strange celestial phenomena, superpowers awakening, anomalies running rampant, and the strong battling for supremacy...

Of course, none of that has much to do with Su Xun. He's an unofficial anomaly detective with government approval obtained through the back door, and his power makes everyone within a three-meter radius sincerely feel that the world is beautiful.

In practice, he's basically a human sleep-aid diffuser.

He takes jobs involving Type II anomalies and earns less than a Level Five salary. His greatest accomplishment is being dragged into the Testing Bureau's counseling room to serve as a mascot.

That is, until he has a strange dream. In it, the deputy director of the Testing Bureau, Guan Shixu, whom he's admired for a long time, is shrouded in black mist and repeatedly demands to know, "Why did you betray the Testing Bureau?"

So there's even a role-play scene in the plot.

Then, the next morning, news breaks that Guan Shixu has died in action.

Su Xun immediately finds Guan Shixu's ghost reading a novel at an abandoned logging camp in the Greater Khingan Mountains.

Captain Guan sure is obsessed with novels.

Wait, something's wrong with this story. What do you mean, he and everyone else are going to die?

To survive, Su Xun invites the ghost to team up, forming the most absurd partnership in the entire superpowered world.

Guan Shixu handles the fighting, analysis, and intimidating everyone with the presence of a former deputy director. Su Xun's job is... to be the comic relief.

Drawing on his astonishing detective instincts and vast knowledge from reading all kinds of books, Su Xun says, "Because this way, we're less likely to die."

Guan Shixu: "Sure. Whatever makes you happy."
