Chapter 327: Director of the New An Bureau _3
However, there existed one who lived on to this very day.
He still bore the appearance of that young boy.
Powerful like a deity.
But it was after this that the boy died at the hands of his own people.
He watched in shock as that emotionally shattered child brought the enemy over, completely eradicating their group, once thought to be paradise, into darkness; they never lived freely from beginning to end.
Even the one he trusted most had to be watched cautiously for betrayal, vigilant of their heart.
Even his own kind could not be trusted.
So, what in this world could still be believed in?
After a corrosive acid rain, the boy was resurrected, his eyes reopening once again.
But remembering everything that had happened, he became reclusive.
...
Five hundred years after the eclipse.
Human civilization had spread and developed throughout these years, and the countless powers established in the apocalypse had made contact with each other. By this time, another problem erupted.
As the saying goes, united long, must divide; divided long, must unite. After the threat of monsters had vanished, the various powers attempting to dominate the globe started their civil wars.
It took only two hundred years to eradicate the monsters and reclaim the Wasteland, but the civil wars lasted for over three hundred years!
The boy remained reclusive the entire period of the civil wars, and when he reentered human society, an empire named "Chaoyang" had risen, human civilization awaiting revival!
What lifted his spirits again was the beautiful fireworks that suddenly bloomed in the sky on that day.
Multicolored, flamboyantly patterned fireworks exploded in the pitch-dark sky, seemingly igniting and scattering the darkness, with people on the streets shouting and celebrating excitedly.
The boy suddenly remembered that he still owed many people a lot of promises.
His sister had wanted to see the blue sky and the sun, to witness the splendor of human civilization; that person he once rescued also wanted to see the freedom and liberation of their kind, to live without needing to hide away.
The revolution had not yet succeeded, and comrades still needed to strive!
The boy stepped back into human society.
He even learned to hide himself and interact with others, using the knowledge in his mind to teach them to innovate in technology, develop civilization, while also quietly searching for those exceptional humans.
After centuries of development, the once-collapsed civilization had become near perfect, and humans gradually succumbed to their base nature, starting to enjoy the finer things in life.
People always want the best, better and better.
Capitalist conglomerates had invaded the Chaoyang Empire without notice, penetrating every aspect of everyone's life, corrupting and assimilating them over centuries, exacerbating the already severe class consciousness from the apocalypse.
When the boy realized this problem, he found, with even greater headache, that the revolution seemed increasingly difficult.
It was not his fault, just as his sister had once complained, even after teaching for so long, he still hadn't learned those things.
...
In the five hundredth year of the Chaoyang Calendar.
The boy met a girl who looked at him with intense eyes and said, "You've actually lived for over a thousand years, huh?"
Truth be told, he was shocked at the time.
Over the years, the boy had encountered many strange abilities, but it was the first time he came across an ability as miraculous and awe-inspiring as the girl's—"Extensive Knowledge of the Past and Future"!
If she wanted to know, there was nothing she couldn't find out.
It was also the first time he felt that someone was more powerful than himself!
But after that, the girl clung to him.
"I have a premonition that we will be husband and wife in the future," she said.
The girl stared at him with shining eyes, like a beast eyeing its prey, sending shivers down one's spine.
Because of her ability, the boy couldn't figure out whether her words were true or false, but after entangling with each other for almost a hundred years, as the girl's life was drawing to a close, they finally came together.
He became a husband for the first time, as well as a first-time father.
The day their daughter, Aurora, was born, was also the day the girl died; but the latter had long expected this turn of events.
"This is all the choice of fate, Aurora will inherit my gift and stay by your side."
Aurora indeed inherited the ability of "Precognition."
Over the past century, the boy and the girl had reestablished an organization called the "New Human Evolution and Protection Security Bureau," embarking upon the systematic search for extraordinary humans around the world.
The term "New Human" had been left behind by that elder sister from a long, long time ago.
The boy thought it was good.
He had reestablished the organization, but due to indelible psychological scars, he had always been extremely cautious and vigilant.
Until by chance, he rescued Marcia Celo Morales, the illegitimate daughter of the hunted Morales Family.
Marcia's background was full of hardships, to put it simply: an uncaring father abandoned his wife for a rich woman, then after gaining power, tried to bring back his former neglected daughter, but his current wife was not someone to mess with, so Marcia could only be brought back as an illegitimate child.
The legal wife tragically became a mistress and was hunted by the stepmother who intended to silence her, her mother died, and her father did not love her—she was miserably unfortunate.
If not for Marcia's Awakened abilities while being pursued, she might well have died in some corner on the way back home.
The boy saved her and, as the director of the New An Bureau, invited Marcia to join.
Marcia, ambitious and without hesitation, agreed because she wanted to use the New An Bureau's power to seize control.
"You can choose a codename for yourself," the boy said at the time.
"Do you have a codename too?" Marcia asked.
"Yes, call me Alpha."
"Then I'll be Omega."
Perhaps because of her decisiveness, the boy gave her an inquisitive look.
So, Marcia looked at him meaningfully, her smile blooming beautifully: "If you're Alpha, then I'll be Omega~"
However, the next moment, the black-haired, silver-eyed little girl beside him spoke expressionlessly: "He's my dad, and I am the same age as you this year."
Marcia: "..."
Sorry for seducing the wrong person!
It's really problematic when you can't tell the actual age in the new era!
...
Although she didn't manage to move up the ranks through seduction, Marcia was a hard learner and handled affairs perfectly. Since the organization had few people at that time, she naturally became the New An Bureau's second in command.
Under her leadership, the New An Bureau thrived, gradually connecting with officials and even starting cooperation with financial tycoons, attaining a pivotal position in society.
Yes, Marcia was behind all of these accomplishments.
As for the director of the New An Bureau, he had vanished after bringing Marcia into the organization, typically communicating through Mind Transmission and naturally playing the role of an absentee manager.
After chatting with other members, Marcia learned that this New An Bureau director was possibly autistic.
Though he had founded the organization, and was earnest in his duties and gentle and responsive to the members, he dared not interact too much with them—it was that kind of autism.
Marcia: "?"
No wonder his daughter is a "three-no" child...
Aurora, having no mother from a young age and seldom seeing her father, gradually developed a reclusiveness akin to her father's.
She rarely interacted with people from the New An Bureau.
Until one day, inspired by the stories her father had told, she suddenly gathered a group of young people, wanting to create her own small group to show her father.
This group, would be named Paradise Bird.
