Odd Containment Specialist

Xia Shou started to read the English text next to it, only to realize that it was not a translation of the text, but newly added content, which read:

[He is right, I saw it, and the monsters here are very powerful. I met two people wearing black and white clothes and high hats. I think I may have killed the one in white clothes... But I think I I can't hold on much longer.

The monsters here will absorb the abnormality of extraordinary people. I was originally a fifth-level extraordinary person, but now I am at the first level. Maybe soon I will become a group of people's body parts.

I can only put this shield here. If there are any latecomers, please put it at the original entrance.

In addition, the only way I can think of to stop this is to go to the present world, find the human body of this underworld in the past, and prevent him from connecting this place to the present world... whether it is killing him or sealing him. 】

Then follows another not quite identical passage, probably written by a third person.

[Dorian Gray has been here too! I found his note. I put the shield here. I will hide it here and keep it safe. We have a way to stop this hell!

I understand everything. If you are willing to stop this even if you fall into eternal hell, then I will tell you the truth!

Keep walking and you will be able to see the red moon in the sky. If you walk in the direction of the moon, you will definitely find me! 】

"Hey, does anyone understand Russian?" Xia Shoucheng called to the group behind him.

A timekeeper stood up, stared at the shield for a while, and translated: "It said... it said, 'I felt the remaining power of the beast cage in that hell. Those stitched corpses undoubtedly benefited from the tailor's work. Authority, so I think this ghost place is a remnant of the past glory of the Beast Cage... Maybe the Split Shears will be useful.'

That's what he said. "

"It seems that many people have been here." Xia Shou said thoughtfully.

No. 102 added: “This shield style was discontinued ten years ago.”

"Does the Control Bureau have any records of the underworld?" Gu Liang asked curiously.

Shen Fei: "I have seen the integration of data and documents, but it is just documents. There are no relevant cases of abnormal phenomena, but... it may be that I do not have enough authority to see such files."

Su Yue pondered for a while and reminded softly: "Brother Xia Shou, is this shield also a forbidden object? Why is it placed in such an obvious place?"

Xia Shou nodded.

This is indeed suspicious.

Such a shield, with its humble appearance and seemingly nothing special, is actually placed in such a conspicuous place beside the Naihe Bridge. It doesn't matter that the ghosts and soldiers in the underworld cannot read the words, but let this thing be left here. , would be too careless.

Could it be a trap?

Xia Shou glanced at Pedros, who was obviously thinking about the same issue.

"Where are you going now?" Xia Shou turned his head slightly and looked at Pedros.

Seeing that Pedros didn't answer, No. 102 sneered and said sarcastically to Pedros: "Don't you meet us, you can't walk even one step? There must be somewhere to go, right?"

Pedros sighed and took out a black jade stone suspended by a string from his arms.

"Sir!!" Tracy's expression suddenly changed.

"Tracy, it's okay, they are right, we have our own way to go," Pedros said.

The black jade hanging in mid-air seemed to have some double images. The double images were superimposed and extended in one direction, becoming lighter the farther away they were.

"This stone is what guides our direction, like a compass." Pedros said sincerely:

"The Control Bureau has always been clear about what the Clock Tower does. We are committed to building ladders between time, trying to make the shuttle between the past and the present orderly.

You don’t object to this approach. Building a ladder itself is a neutral act. Using a ladder to do evil or good is the user’s own choice. Our Clock Tower is just a research organization and an exploration organization.

It's the same this time. This lost time realm is a key node leading to the other end of time. We want to build a ladder between them. Our purpose is that simple. "

"Let's go with you and take care of each other." Xia Shou said.

I don’t care whether Pedros’s words are true or false. Later, when [Suicide] cools down and uses polygraph No. 58, we will know whether it is true or false.

But even without a lie detector, Xia Shou knew that Pedros was most likely fooling him.

After all, when asked about his mission before, he said solemnly that he had no comment. After replying, he stated the purpose so generously, which was obviously not the truth.

Moreover, the expression of the woman next to Pedros was easy to read. When she just took out the stone, the woman had a shocked look on her face, as if she wanted to stop Pedros from revealing the truth.

But when Pedros started talking, she suddenly calmed down.

However, although this group of people is not trustworthy, if they cooperate and help each other for the time being, they should not be stabbed in the back.

At least before and after the battle with Hei Wuchang, none of them had a dead end.

This shows that unless there is a sudden conflict of interest, there is no reason for the Clock Tower to be hostile to them.

Of course, this was just one of the reasons why Xia Shou chose to continue walking with him.

Another reason is the black stone in Pedros' hand.

The material of the stone seemed familiar to Xia Shou.

It is very similar to obsidian, but from the broken section it is very obvious that it is not a hard, brittle and easily cracked material like obsidian. The luster and roundness are very close to that of the ink jade door.

He had to find a way to find out the origin of this stone from Pedros.

"Actually, we were doing other tasks, collecting document tablets, but we came across the funeral home and somehow got here." Xia Shou said, "You also came across the funeral home, right?"

"Well, I don't know what they are doing here, and they seem to know this place very well." Pedros frowned.

"I think you also came to the gate of hell for no reason. Wasn't your destination here at first?"

"It was here, but we didn't know it was here. After being sent here by the funeral home, we found that we were supposed to come here, so in fact, we can say that they helped us."

Xia Shou and Pedros walked side by side in the front, chatting casually, and the relationship between the two seemed to have suddenly improved.

The people from both teams also gradually became familiar with each other. Except for No. 102 who refused to integrate into the group, everyone else started chatting and began to exchange their views and opinions on the current situation of this underworld.

As for some members with lower IQs, they were very curious about the reason why Su Yue joined the Control Bureau. However, Su Yue was not as gentle and polite as usual. Instead, he was often distracted, as if thinking about other things.
