I’m Really Scared
Chapter 143: Mr. Guan, Sorry to Bother You

The main structure of the Wuhao Team base was surrounded by a military base, with most of its own buildings buried underground. To enter, one had to pass through at least three checkpoints, and there was also an automatic detection system for the Special Security Group badge.

The helicopter's helipad was set inside the base, right in front of the last gate.

Guan Shan disembarked from the helicopter and saw White Night waving at him from a distance.

Standing beside White Night was "Revoke," who seemed to be communicating with someone. The base gate was already open, and Revoke explained to Guan Shan before he and the medical staff took the Lu family to the base hospital for rest.

White Night ran over, his face serious, speaking softly, "I noticed some abnormal cloud movements while waiting for you. It could be the work of an Esper. But if the base didn't sound the alarm, it might be that Wuhao Team has a weather-manipulating Esper."

Elemental-type Espers were naturally recognized as B-class. Coupling this with known information, it suggested that Wuhao Team might have three B-class Espers. He sighed, "I've always heard there are vast strength disparities between Special Security Group teams, but I didn't expect it to be this great. Other than Xia Lei, the highest rank in Youhao Team is Gao Ye, only C-class..."

White Night suddenly paused, then looked at Guan Shan. "Oh wait, it should be you now."

"......"

Guan Shan awkwardly smiled. He couldn't very well admit that the clouds were his doing, right?

As he responded dismissively, Guan Shan's gaze turned curious, examining White Night. White Night had reverted to his original appearance, transforming from a middle-aged beggar to... well, a young beggar.

Trapped by Carpenter in that space for over a month without food, water, or freedom to wash up, White Night now had normal features but still looked scruffy with messy hair and stubble.

He could easily pass as a street beggar with a sign reading "Disabled but determined, seeking funds to return home after being exploited by a heartless boss."

Guan Shan shook his head, recalling the young swordswoman's strike that decapitated the long-necked monster. He still couldn't achieve that level of skill. "No, no, I think Gao Ye is still stronger."

He felt slightly guilty, remembering how he had initially thought White Night was cosplaying and had teased him.

"You're too modest. Gao Ye couldn't handle 'Room.' Without a specialized ability, no one could handle him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have made the 'Victim List' and roamed free for a century," said an unfamiliar female voice suddenly.

Guan Shan turned to see two women walking out of the base gate. The speaker was a woman with a heroic appearance, dressed in a specially made black combat suit with a high ponytail, walking with vigorous strides. Behind her was a voluptuous and charming woman.

The speaker approached and extended her hand to Guan Shan. "Hello, I'm Sun Han, captain of Wuhao Team's third squad. This is vice-captain Qi Xingyu. The first squad and the instructor are out on a mission, so I'm in charge of the base for now."

The third squad, which meant support?

Guan Shan extended his hand, subconsciously recalling the classic Special Security Group team classification.

Lin Shuman's voice suddenly reminded him through his earpiece, "She's a B-class Esper."

She quickly provided some information about Sun Han, emphasizing, "She might want to... spar with you."

Guan Shan silently praised his personal assistant and then grimaced. "Spar? She's B-class. I don't even register energy levels, at most I'm C-class. Isn't that bullying?"

White Night was B-class, displayed as level 21 in the simulator, while Guan Shan was only level 15. The difference was at least six levels.

And Sun Han was not a non-combat Esper like White Night.

Sensing Guan Shan's displeasure, Lin Shuman quickly reassured, "She can't force you to fight. Attacking teammates without consent results in disciplinary action."

Guan Shan chuckled. "Has anyone ever refused her?"

Lin Shuman paused. "Not that I know of..."

"Exactly. Everyone knows she's that strong. Why hasn't anyone refused? She must have a way to make people 'willingly' accept a spar."

This was like how employees in the workplace "voluntarily" worked overtime. With Espers' varied means, there were countless ways to skirt the rules.

Sun Han's ability was "Precise Detonation." Without such means, it was likely the charming Qi Xingyu beside her.

Lin Shuman realized this but didn't have immediate information on the vice-captain. She couldn't openly check records in front of a B-class Esper.

Guan Shan didn't mind and chatted politely with Sun Han, attributing his success in defeating "Room" to others' indispensable help.

White Night, not a member of the Special Security Group, was a freelance operative receiving monthly stipends. His reputation wasn't significant, nor did he possess combat abilities.

Lin Shuman, with her negligible presence, further diminished her importance. Few, apart from regular contacts, remembered her name, and the Special Security Group deliberately minimized her data circulation.

Thus, Sun Han classified them as "ordinary Espers," while her interest in Guan Shan, showing unprecedented politeness, grew.

"You'll stay in the vacant dormitories tonight. Feel free to ask for anything you need."

Sun Han led them to the base's dormitory, assigning them individual rooms. "After 'Room's' death, the victims' bodies reappeared in the original rooms. The Special Security Group is investigating, archiving the impacts and past victims' information."

"By regulations, such a widespread case requires complete archiving and confirmation before you can leave."

"How long will that take?" Guan Shan couldn't help but ask.

He had work commitments, had to explain to Director Li, and figure out how to explain his sudden trip to Liaoshen to Xiao Shen... a major issue.

Sun Han pondered, "About half a month. If it's too long, you can request an emergency event override from Xia Lei to return to your Special Security Group area."

Guan Shan shook his head. "No need. Director Xia is busy with the 'Death Hive' battle. I won't trouble him."

Half a month wasn't too long; it was acceptable.

After Sun Han left, Guan Shan curiously examined his single dormitory... despite being called a dormitory, it was no less than a star-rated hotel.

Ironically, though he was a Youhao Team member, his first visit to a Special Security Group base was a thousand miles away at Wuhao Team's base.

"Ah... finally, some rest."

Guan Shan explored the room, then headed straight to the bathroom. Although his clothes had miraculously cleaned themselves as his health points rose, he still felt psychologically uncomfortable.

After showering, Guan Shan flopped onto the bed, ready to call Xiao Shen, when a knock came at the door.

Qi Xingyu's seductive voice called, "Mr. Guan, sorry to bother you. I have some questions. Do you have a moment?"
