Odd Containment Specialist

At night, in the staff dormitory.

After completing the onboarding process, Xia Shou lay on the bed in the single dormitory. Alice behind him penetrated the bed like a ghost, and her hands were still gently pinching his neck.

He recalled what Dr. Modice said to him during the day, and the more he thought about it, the more headache he had.

"Without the blessing of forbidden objects, the mortality rate of low-level extraordinary people in cross-level missions is almost 100%, so the Control Bureau will equip you with a large number of forbidden objects to improve the survival rate of low-level extraordinary people.

However, compared with the number of low-level extraordinary people, the number of forbidden objects held by the Control Bureau is pitifully small, and all the usable ones are in a state of requisition.

So the low-level extraordinary people who can go on missions only account for 10% of the total number, and the remaining 90% are generally responsible for the maintenance, testing, and patrol of abnormal bodies in the bureau during the standby period.

If you want to go on a mission, it will take at least ten days for your turn, and this is still an optimistic estimate. After all, you are just a newcomer with nothing, you haven't even done basic training, and no one will guarantee you."

Xia Shou's current problem is that he wants to start the mission immediately, but there is no suitable mission to assign to him immediately.

According to Modice, except for joining the three departments to take the back door, the only way is to wait.

But the Death Record Notes said that Shangguan Yan is a very troublesome woman, and it always feels that joining the three departments will cause endless troubles.

As the night deepened, Xia Shou felt sleepy. He closed his eyes unconsciously and his consciousness gradually blurred.

When he was about to fall asleep.

Suddenly, his body was immersed in the cold sea water.

In an instant, the sleepiness was swept away, and his brain became extremely clear, as if he had woken up after a long and high-quality sleep!

When he opened his eyes, it was the same illusion as before. In the dark and cold sea water, there was only a deep green light flowing with the waves.

Looking at the sea water around, there was no impurity in the sea water.

There were no swimming fish.

There were no algae.

There was deep darkness under him, and the dark green light explored in all directions, and finally disappeared in the boundless darkness.

In the boundless darkness... it seemed that something was "looking" at him.

In fact, it was not accurate to describe it with the word "looking". Perhaps the existence that was "spying" on him was not observing him through the eyes.

He felt that he was being watched by something, as if something would swim out of the sea water around him at any time.

The ruler beside him showed 1195 meters, and the number was still increasing, but the speed was very slow.

"Click!"

A strange light sound, transmitted to Xia Shou's ears through the sea water, was a bit like the sound of a door opening.

The next second, he saw the number on the ruler began to grow wildly!

The water pressure around him slowly increased, and the feeling of suffocation followed. The deep sea was quickly becoming real!

In the darkness below him, a square black door appeared at his feet, and a long and narrow red light appeared in the center of the door frame, like the light leaking from the house when the door was open.

His lungs seemed to be filled with sea water, but his body had no ability to struggle.

The oxygen content in the blood has exceeded the dangerous value, and the brain began to lack oxygen! Consciousness began to blur!

The frantically beating heart vibrated the eardrum, and his hands and feet could not help but spasm and tremble.

The door under his feet was getting closer and closer, and he saw the scene inside the door... a shoe cabinet hanging upside down on the ceiling, an iron chandelier nailed to the ground like a hydrogen balloon, and an upside-down entrance.

Xia Shou tried his best to look at the ruler. The depth was 1205 meters!

…

Xia Shou suddenly opened his eyes. A terrible force came from his neck. He felt that his cervical vertebra was on the verge of being strangled!

The moment he woke up, Alice's hands, like iron clamps, suddenly relaxed and returned to their original tightness.

Xia Shou sat up from the bed panting, his chest heaving violently, and his whole body was wet with cold sweat.

The violent heartbeat proved that the suffocation just now was not an illusion, and the expired alarm on the mobile phone also showed that he did not wake up on time.

He was fascinated by the illusion. If it weren't for Alice, I'm afraid he would have entered that door.

"Thank you, Alice."

It seems that time is running out. I must swallow something immediately!

Xia Shou pulled the collar soaked with cold sweat, turned over and got out of bed, and opened the dead record notebook. The handwriting of the notebook was still blurred.

Now, he can only make his own decision.

If the shadow doesn't devour something, he will probably die in a few nights, not even ten days.

Although there may be troubles in the future if he joins Shangguan Yan's department, it is better than death.

Xia Shou thought for a while and made a decision immediately.

"Start the mission right away."

After making up his mind, Xia Shou took out his mobile phone, found Shangguan Yan's number, and sent a text message to explain his idea.

He thought that the other party should have fallen asleep at midnight, but the message came back in seconds: [I'm in the office, you can come now. ]

Xia Shou left the dormitory and followed the signs to Shangguan Yan's office.

The lights in the office were still on, and the sound of keyboard tapping came from inside.

Xia Shou pushed open the door and saw that the other party was working overtime in the office alone.

"Modis told me that you wanted to go on the mission quickly. But I said that if you come to me now, you have to pay more."

Shangguan Yan narrowed his eyes and looked at Xia Shou subtly.

"What do you want me to do?" Xia Shou asked.

Shangguan Yan opened the drawer, took out a bottle of blood-red liquid and put it on the table: "After you come back, work overtime for a month in a row. If you agree, I can give you this as a gift."

"Ah?" Xia Shou was stunned.

He thought the other party would make some very excessive demands, but it turned out to be just overtime?

"Of course, there is no overtime pay. In addition, don't think it will be easy." Shangguan Yan raised his finger and added seriously.

"If that's all, it's okay." Xia Shou picked up the bottle of red liquid on the table, "What is this?"

"It's special blood. After drinking it, it can increase the abnormal level to level 2, and the maintenance time can be about one hour.

Then I just happen to have a task to assign to you. Although the danger exceeds the level that a level 2 superhuman can handle, this is the only task that suits you now. Go if you are willing."

Shangguan Yan took out a stack of documents from the drawer and pushed them in front of Xia Shou: "I know you are in a hurry, so I have prepared all the information for you. Take this bottle of blood and you can go."

Xia Shou looked at the information pushed by the other party and frowned.

This series of operations was as if she had known that he would come and join the department.

"I suggest you go to the scene immediately, this is an urgent task." Shangguan Yan reminded.

Xia Shou picked up the information bag without saying a word, turned around and ran out of the office.

As the office door closed again, Shangguan Yan was the only one left in the office.

After a while, a deep purple crack appeared in the air behind Shangguan Yan, and a demon wearing a black windbreaker and a goat skull on his head walked out of the space crack.

The goat-headed demon stood behind Shangguan Yan, and a hoarse evil laugh came from the skull: "You haven't forgotten the price of our contract, right?"

"Why do you think I would forget?" Shangguan Yan's tone was flat, without a trace of emotional ups and downs.

"Hehe, I just want to remind you again.

[1. All interactions with others must be based on the concept of 'transaction'.]

[2. Do not let others regard your behavior as unrequited goodwill help.]

[3. If you have a good impression of others, do not let the other party notice your good impression.]

These are the three taboos included in our contract." The goat-headed demon said.

"I know."

"Then you helped so obviously just now, aren't you afraid of violating the contract?"

"I don't think he is so perceptive." Shangguan Yan smiled coldly.

"But sooner or later he will know how precious that bottle of blood is. At that time, hehe..."

The goat demon stretched out its slender and sharp black nails like a dagger, cutting a void crack in the air like cutting paper. It pulled open the curtain of space like a curtain, and then stepped into the deep purple mist on the other side...
