My 100th Rebirth a day before the Apocalypse novel Chapter 672

Hearing that there wouldn't be any discussion about Kisha and the others in City B for now, Keith and the rest, including Ethan, resumed their duties, patrolling the perimeter. Keith also escorted his grandparents inside for safety. Meanwhile, Sparrow and the others made their way back to their rooms to get some rest while waiting.

However, just as Keith stepped outside, he froze at the sight before him. Emerging from a portal was his sister, accompanied by others. But she was different from the last time he saw her—sharper, more refined, like an unsheathed blade poised to strike at any moment.

Then there was Duke, clinging to Kisha like a koala. Keith's face darkened momentarily, but his excitement at seeing his sister after more than a month quickly overpowered any other concerns. He was about to rush over to her when Ethan beat him to it.

"H-Hello again, little sister," Ethan said, his voice slightly hesitant.

Only then did Keith snap out of his daze, realizing he had been momentarily lost in thought.

"Sister! You're back! This little brother of yours missed you so much!" Keith cooed as he excitedly circled around Kisha before glancing back at the still-open portal.

...

Back to the present.

"And that's everything that happened, and we all ended up meeting at the hidden base," Sparrow said, spreading his arms in a shrug. "I never expected to find you all here, already solving the communication problem we were struggling with."

He let out a short chuckle before shaking his head. "But seriously, I can't believe you all thought I was dead just because of a single dried-up corpse and my dog tag. That tag was probably the shiny thing I saw falling when the mutated tree's vines lifted me while I was still disoriented," Sparrow explained.

"Oh..." was the only thing the dumbfounded Vulture could manage to say. He looked completely lost as memories of all the crying he'd done and the things he'd said while mourning Sparrow's "death" came rushing back. _{ƒгeewёbnovel.com}

His face instantly turned red. There was no way he could let Sparrow find out—if he did, Sparrow would die laughing and never let him live it down. After all, they'd been treating each other like brothers for years, and their love-hate dynamic meant neither of them ever missed a chance to tease the other. If Sparrow got wind of this, he'd milk it for all it was worth, tormenting Vulture with endless jokes until he finally snapped.

After Sparrow finished recounting their experiences outside, Kisha fell into deep contemplation. She finally understood why she hadn't been able to see Sparrow and the others' status windows when she checked the "Team Tab."

Normally, she would have been able to determine if they were still alive by looking at their HP bars, but all she saw was a question mark.

It all made sense now—008 had been right. Their mental signatures had been severed and blocked, which was why she couldn't gather any information on them.

This was a status abnormality commonly used by mental-type superhumans and certain creatures to isolate their victims, cutting off their life force and mental signatures from detection and dulling their senses.

It effectively rendered them no different from walking corpses. However, since Sparrow and the others were now superhumans themselves—at least Level 1—the status abnormality's effects on them had been slightly weakened.

She had purchased this plugin "Team Tab" specifically to monitor her team members' health bars—whether they were dropping rapidly, in danger, or suffering from any status abnormalities—so she could provide immediate assistance if necessary.

But who would have thought that she wouldn't even be able to see what kind of status abnormality they were under?
