Do the Dead Have to Save the World Too?

Question:

Who has the easiest life in this world?

Answer:

The dead.

When people express feelings like "I'm disappointed you didn't live up to your potential," "I'm furious," or "I've given up on you," they always say things like, "Are you dead or something?" or "I'm a corpse."

Jiang Yebai had just awoken from a long slumber. He tried to recall the whole process of burying a human, rising from the dead, and bursting out of a coffin that he had witnessed before falling asleep. Then he studied modern human knowledge in depth and decided he had mastered everything he needed to know. He was a chosen corpse.

Oh, he had also just learned the phrase "chosen corpse" from some young people he passed by.

Anyway, dressed and styled like the young people, Jiang Yebai was brimming with confidence. This is it! I'm going to make a name for myself!

And then the Special Affairs Commission arrested him.

Jiang Yebai: ? Why is the modern demon-hunting bureau so fast?

-

The Special Affairs Commission, or SAC for short, is a confidential department under the Ministry of State Security. It handles unusual people and nonhuman species across the country. Sitting in the interrogation room, Jiang Yebai understood perfectly well: it was the new era's demon-hunting bureau.

Times had changed, but young people's interrogation techniques hadn't improved much. They left the "corpse" unruffled and profoundly bored, and he just wanted to get out of there as soon as possible.

That was until a calm-faced man appeared. The young officers called him "Director Zhu."

Looking at the colors of the emotions surrounding "Director Zhu," Jiang Yebai gave him a friendly smile.

The modern age isn't so bad after all. Look, there's an interesting person already!

Zhu Dianxue pierced through the aftershocks of the gale, struggling to approach Jiang Yebai and the enemy at the heart of the storm.

He heard the enemy challenge Jiang Yebai. "Don't you hate humans? After playing with people's hearts for so long, have you really forgotten what you ought to call yourself?!"

Zhu Dianxue looked up and saw Jiang Yebai standing tall in the wind, upright and unyielding, his black hair tossed wildly in the gale. Through the strands of ink-black hair, he saw the "corpse" crinkle his eyes and smile warmly, answering at an unhurried pace: "It's all right, I guess."

As the enemy's fury unleashed an even more violent storm, Zhu Dianxue smiled and raised his sword. The sword's flash, together with the surging emotions Jiang Yebai sent out with a wave of his hand, crushed the storm.
