After Death, I Became a Superhuman

Chapter 5 – Dogs can do it

"You're asking me to... do what?"

"Catch the plane." The girl shook the chip in her hand, "Plane accidents happen sometimes. I remember there was a plane that disappeared over the sea a few years ago around here, and it's still not found, right?"

"No, isn't the focus elsewhere?" Jiang Bei said in frustration, "What you're talking about is a commercial airliner, right? You mean a hunk of iron weighing hundreds of tons falling from thousands of meters in the sky?"

However, the way this girl talked about it made it sound as easy as ordering a pet dog to catch a frisbee, which left Jiang Bei speechless.

"Didn't I say? I've shared my life with you, and my abilities too." She crisply bit her chip, "Don't worry, it's quite simple. It's like putting a sausage on a dog's neck, they can do this task.

And I'll guide you through it, guarantee to teach until you master it!"

"Is it that amazing?"

Logically, this sounded a bit too fantastic to believe, but considering everything he had seen and heard tonight, Jiang Bei was both skeptical and believing.

"So, what's your ability?"

The girl stopped eating for a rare moment and thought, "Hmm... In your current state, you probably can't use the deeper abilities. You can probably only use the most basic ones."

"Like what?"

"Things like super strength, super speed, invulnerability, and supersonic flight shouldn't be a problem." She counted on her fingers, "Anyway, catching a plane is a piece of cake."

Jiang Bei fell silent. He figured that her definition of "a little bit" must differ from his understanding.

"Uh, but I don't seem to feel anything special, no feeling of superpowers," he said, baffled as he clenched his fist, "You haven't set a password on your hotspot, have you?"

The girl walked up to him, extending her little hand and pressing on his chest.

@@@@

Some unknown material instantly spread out from her palm, enveloping Jiang Bei's body like a surging liquid. In a blink, a dark blue uniform materialized, covering his whole body, with a red cape gently falling behind him.

The close-fitting uniform, with its blue main body and some golden lines, had a smooth silhouette and a slight grainy feel. The design had a touch of familiarity, and the material resembled the Kryptonian battle suit from the film version of Superman.

"How do you feel now?" The girl stepped back and asked with a smile.

"It's cool and quite comfortable, though the crotch is a bit tight......

...Oh, you mean the powers? No, nothing, no changes. I feel... wait a minute."

Jiang Bei narrowed his eyes, seemingly noticing something different. He pondered for a moment, then gently tapped his toes on the floor.

Then he found himself flying.

"By the way, how do you know the exact direction?" Jiang Bei asked as he flew.

"I saw it."

"You're sitting in my living room and you can see a plane falling 160 kilometers away?" Jiang Bei couldn't help asking, "Is it some sort of clairvoyance? With X-ray vision too?"

This novel is available on ".

"Yes, indeed. I can even see the color of your underwear... Red is nice, it's festive, just a friendly heads-up."

Jiang Bei: "..."

He flew very quickly, the distance of 160 kilometers had never felt as close as it did today. The unfortunate passenger plane soon appeared in his vision, its right turbine seemed to be on fire, trailing black smoke behind it, just like a wounded bird.

Jiang Bei took a deep breath, chased after it with all his might, and in an instant, he was right behind the smoking plane, his figure cutting through the smoky air like a bullet.

"Okay, I'm catching up now, what should I do next?" Jiang Bei decided to seek advice from his mentor to be safe.

"The situation isn't too severe. Just grab onto the wing and guide the direction. Going by the current trend, it would likely crash on its own, but if you just help it a little bit to prevent it from veering off, it should be able to safely land at the Kangtu Airport..."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Bei swiftly moved forward, latching onto the right wing of the plane.

The girl seemed to remember something, "Oh right, be mindful of your strength. Don't exert too much, otherwise, it might..."

Snap.

The wing let out a mournful sound as Jiang Bei ripped it off.

"...Hmm, well, this could happen," the girl finished her sentence leisurely after the fact.

Jiang Bei was flung far away due to the excessive force he applied. After a few somersaults in the air, he just managed to regain his balance when he collided head-on with the wing he had torn off. The unfortunate wing roared past him, splitting into two sections.

"No, this airplane feels as fragile as if it was made of paper..."

As Jiang Bei complained, his body once again exploded into full speed. A milky-white shockwave burst open behind him as he chased after the plane. The condition of the plane, which had half a wing torn off by him, had become even worse. The broken wing on the right side had started to burn, and the body of the plane, buffeted by the air currents, started spinning, like a paper boat thrown into a whirlpool.

"It's because your power is too strong. Normal materials of course can't withstand it," the Superman girl naturally said, "But now the situation has escalated a bit. We need to adopt a more straightforward and brutal method.

You have to steady its direction before the passengers' brains get scrambled by the violent shaking, and catch it before it lands... oh, right, be careful not to exert too much force this time. Otherwise, you'll pierce through the plane like a missile and it might break apart..."

"Damn it."

As Jiang Bei spoke, he had already rushed to the front of the spiraling airplane. His hands latched onto the front of the cockpit, his fingers sinking into the aerospace-grade titanium alloy like steel.

"...This damn it is definitely not something a dog can handle."
