After Crossing Over, I Marked the Empress

According to Gu Junwan, the Awakened who would soon join the guard team was an Omega.

She could sense the presence of other Awakened within a certain range.

This ability might sound somewhat useless.

But for the Empress’s team, about to face off against powerful enemies hiding in the North, this identification ability could play a crucial role at critical moments.

To avoid leaks, only Shen Han and Instructor Liu in the guard team knew her identity and ability.

As for the rest of the team members, they only knew that a consultant member would be added to the team, accompanying them to complete tasks such as psychological counseling and assisting in training planning.

In the guard team’s meeting room at the base.

Instructor Liu was standing on the platform, giving his daily briefing with a solemn face.

Below, several Alphas had already started having small meetings through body language.

“Why hasn’t Instructor Liu gotten to the point yet? My neck is sore, I’m just waiting for the Omega lady to take the stage!”

“Will she train with us?”

“Probably not, I think at most she’ll participate in some basic exercises. After all, Omegas’ physical strength isn’t naturally suited for too intense activities.”

“Then shouldn’t she join the instructor team instead? Why join our combat team?”

“How would I know? Let’s just wait and see, maybe she has some special skills.”

Seeing more and more comrades around her starting small meetings, Shen Han quickly coughed lightly, reminding Instructor Liu on the platform not to ramble on.

Realizing he had indeed been talking for too long, Instructor Liu finally changed his tone.

“From today on, our guard team will have a new member joining us. Her name is Jiang Xinyue, and she will mainly serve as a team consultant. I hope everyone can show initiative and make our team even stronger!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Han took the lead in applauding.

The other team members quickly followed suit, clapping in unison and with force, making the entire meeting room resound with a buzzing noise.

When Jiang Xinyue silently walked to the door, hearing the thunderous applause from inside, her steps faltered slightly.

But soon, she adjusted her mindset and walked into the meeting room again with a calm face.

She had never told anyone that her true ability was: hearing the thoughts of other Awakened.

Even her most trusted parents only thought her ability was: sensing the presence of other Awakened.

Because compared to the latter, her true ability had extremely high practical value.

She could even imagine what kind of situation she would face if she hadn’t concealed her talent.

Being captured by foreign spies or illegal armed forces would definitely be the worst case scenario, which we’ll set aside for now.

Even if she were to serve her own Federation, she would inevitably be forced to do many things she didn’t like, such as interrogating Awakened prisoners.

Jiang Xinyue felt that the current situation was just fine.

She could gain honor and considerable income with her ability, allowing her entire family to live comfortably.

That was enough.

When Jiang Xinyue appeared on the platform, the eyes of several Alphas below immediately lit up.

What appeared before everyone was a quiet and gentle-looking female Omega.

Her face was on the thin side, making her chin appear slightly pointed, but paired with her upturned nose and distinctive monolids, everything seemed just right.

The newcomer Omega wasn’t the stunningly beautiful type, but she had a very unique aura that was quite pleasant to look at.

“Hello everyone, I’m Jiang Xinyue. I hope we can get along well in the days to come.”

After a few brief words of self-introduction, Jiang Xinyue fell silent.

She lowered her eyes slightly, standing motionless on the platform.

Shen Han had already learned from Gu Junwan that this new member was afraid of Alphas. Facing such a group of Alphas with strong presences in the guard team, she would definitely feel very uncomfortable.

But work was work, and many things could only be overcome by herself.

However, it should have some effect if she helped out appropriately.

Instructor Liu also knew about Jiang Xinyue’s situation.

Looking at the girl standing at least 3 meters away from him, he suddenly didn’t know what to say.

If he followed his usual temperament, he would just directly order the team members to obey, and with his iron-blooded aura, it would be all too easy to intimidate a girl.

He wouldn’t even need to speak; just standing in front of her would be scary enough.

At this moment, Shen Han suddenly stood up.

She wore a gentle smile on her face and deliberately slowed her speech, trying her best to appear peaceful and friendly.

“Welcome to our new member! To get to know each other faster, let’s have all team members introduce themselves one by one.”

“My name is Shen Han, and I’m the team leader here. If you encounter any problems with training, you can seek my help.”

After Shen Han, the guard team members began to stand up and introduce themselves in turn.

Because the new member was the only Omega in the team, the members all had a sense of care to varying degrees, and the entire introduction atmosphere was filled with enthusiasm and goodwill.

As for Jiang Xinyue standing on the platform, although she was nodding slightly to each team member on the surface, she felt no sense of belonging in her heart.

Since awakening her ability, she had heard the thoughts of many Awakened.

Among them, the inner voices of Alphas frightened her the most.

All her past personal experiences made her very clear that no matter how humble and polite an Alpha appeared on the outside, the aggressiveness and possessiveness in their bones would never change.

She had once activated her ability at a high-end cocktail party.

And then witnessed a very unseemly scene of a highly respected Alpha chairman.

While giving a speech on the stage, he was thinking about how to get his new secretary into bed that night.

The higher the rank of an Alpha, the stronger their desire for sexual conquest and power.

Jiang Xinyue discreetly observed the spirited Alphas below, not only feeling no so-called AO attraction, but even a faint fear arising in her heart.

The self-introductions were only halfway through.

With nothing to do, Jiang Xinyue suddenly had the idea to detect if there were any Awakened here.

So, she quietly activated her ability.

Shen Han sat in the front row with a smile on her face, looking as if she was listening intently to her teammates’ introductions.

But her mental activity never stopped for a moment.

[Miss Gu seems to have lost weight again recently, eating like a little kitten. Should I make hot pot at the apartment these days? Let’s go all out with tripe and duck intestines, I’m a pro at dipping sauce!]

[But speaking of which, should I perform the palm-fried egg trick again? Hmm, maybe not, it doesn’t seem very hygienic.]

[Hey~ Why are these brats still talking? I think Miss Jiang looks tired from standing.]

[Can she detect that I’m also an Awakened?]

Thinking of this, Shen Han slightly raised her eyes, her gaze sweeping across the platform as if by chance.

Jiang Xinyue’s heart immediately skipped a beat, her body unconsciously tensing up, and she hurriedly retracted her ability.

Although she knew the other person couldn’t see anything, after all, she had indeed eavesdropped on the other’s thoughts, and inexplicably felt a sense of being caught red-handed by the person involved.

The use of Awakened abilities all had limitations.

Some abilities could be improved through training, while some basic rules were unbreakable.

For example, Shen Han could currently only cover her palms and wrists with flames at most, and after using intense fire once, she couldn’t summon flames again that day.

The unbreakable rule of Jiang Xinyue’s ability was that the effective distance could only cover up to 10 meters.

And her duration of use could be extended by improving her physical functions.

At present, her daily total usage limit for her ability was 5 minutes.

She had already used 2 minutes just now.

Originally, she didn’t plan to use it again, but feeling that Captain Shen would occasionally stare in her direction, her heart was filled with nervousness and curiosity.

After a brief internal struggle, Jiang Xinyue still couldn’t control herself and activated her ability again.

Although eavesdropping on the captain’s thoughts wasn’t good, she needed to know the true face of the Alpha she was about to work with.

If the other person’s inner world was as filthy as other Awakened Alphas, then she would have to stay away from her in the future.

Shen Han maintained a professional smile on her face, but couldn’t help thinking: [That Miss Jiang is quite pretty.]

Hearing this thought, a trace of disgust immediately surged in the depths of Jiang Xinyue’s eyes.

She even didn’t want to continue listening, afraid of hearing some words that would embarrass her.

But thinking of the purpose of her eavesdropping, she gritted her teeth and persisted.

Completely unaware of all this, Shen Han continued her mental activity.

[Will I get my pay docked?]

Jiang Xinyue: “???” Huh?

Shen Han thought: [Probably not, I heard Miss Jiang is somewhat afraid of Alphas, my wallet should be safe!]

Jiang Xinyue: “……” What does she mean?

Shen Han: [But I can’t be careless because of this, I was docked 8,000 yuan last time when the Omega waitress sang a few songs! My Junwan can be very serious when she gets jealous!]

Hearing this, Jiang Xinyue was already showing signs of dizziness.

Not only because she was close to her ability’s time limit for today, but also because Captain Shen’s thoughts were like an unsolvable puzzle!

During the eavesdropping process, she could understand the meaning of each word, but when they formed sentences, it became incomprehensible.

Also, what did Captain Shen mean by “my Junwan” at the end? Could it be that she had some delusional fantasy about Her Majesty the Empress?

Shen Han imperceptibly shook her head, thinking: [Junwan wants to catch the Awakened in the North, time is a bit tight, I need to quickly integrate Comrade Xiao Jiang into the guard team collective.]

[Speaking of which, the next step is to go to the North for negotiations, right? She can come to my apartment tonight to discuss it in detail. I should hurry back to prepare a late-night snack, Special Assistant Xu can also have some extra food!]

“Thud!”

The sound of a heavy object falling suddenly rang out in the meeting room.

Everyone looked closely and found that Jiang Xinyue had suddenly fainted.

Instructor Liu’s eyes bulged, and he quickly went forward to pinch her philtrum, shouting for medical staff to come.

Below, the guard team members also raised a small commotion.

Such a weak constitution? Fainting while just standing there, how would she manage accompanying the team on missions in the future?

It’s really worrying!

Looking at Jiang Xinyue being carried away on a stretcher, Shen Han also felt somewhat worried.

Little did she know, she was actually the source that had caused the other person to faint.

As Jiang Xinyue lost consciousness, a strange thought inexplicably floated in her mind: If Captain Shen wasn’t fantasizing about the Empress, then is this the highlight of my career? My secret boss is the Empress, and my colleague is actually the Empress’s Alpha!
