Chapter 329 - 329 327 Anomaly in the Ancient World_1

Chapter 329: Chapter 327: Anomaly in the Ancient World_1 Chapter 329: Chapter 327: Anomaly in the Ancient World_1 “Half a year ago, there was actually a problem here, it’s just that the people who went back then only had minor colds and such, it wasn’t until now that the situation became serious, which drew some attention.”

“Anyway, being involved in an anomaly and surviving, they can say their luck is not bad…”

After reading, Colin looked ahead again to double-check.

Overall, it should be about the standard for an F Level Sunday event, within the completion probability of ordinary people.

At that moment, Qin Chuan asked, “What should we do next?”

“Have all the people inside been rescued?”

Hearing Colin’s words, Qin Chuan glanced at his former superior, who promptly spoke, “Yes, the people have been rescued, but if we’re going to act, I suggest following the rules of the anomaly, for those unaffected to delve deeper inside…”

“Find a suitable position, our current problem is not being able to touch the source, from neither outside nor inside, but with your arrival, perhaps you might find some opportunities…”

The experienced Level 5 Personnel man was sharing his thoughts, but before he could finish, Colin waved him off with a gesture.

“There’s no need for all that trouble.”

Colin waved his hand nonchalantly, “Go on, call in a… rocket launcher or something, the kind that can do a sweeping strike, a single sweep should finish it.”

“Ah?”

The Level 5 Personnel thought Colin had some profound insight, but he didn’t expect this.

“Ordinary firepower, without the enhancement of ‘Talisman Art,’ is unlikely to be very effective, and we have few such Extraordinary Ones on our side…” he hinted gently.

To say “few” was already a compliment, it should be that there were none at all…

However, this time, Qin Chuan and the others didn’t wait for Colin to speak and started following his orders, beginning to request military intervention through the phone.

“This…”

“Don’t worry.”

Colin pursed his lips, hands in his pockets, looking ahead with a calm face and offered a brief explanation:

“For such low-level stuff, it should be following my rules, not me adhering to whatever rules it has.”

Truth be told, if it weren’t for the fact that “murder mystery” shared two characters with “Script Book” and he was worried it was a trick, he would have gone in and dealt with the thing inside long ago.

If everything was indeed as it appeared at present, the whole process might not even take a minute.

After all, he was now a genuine employee, halfway into D Level territory!

“Right, right, Old Liao, just watch, my bro Colin’s judgments are almost never wrong, you just lie down and relax.” Hu Zheng also spoke up.

Old Liao looked at Hu Zheng with a somewhat bemused smile, “Tch, impressive, with the increase in power level, even the way you address me has changed, it used to be Director Liao.”

“From the perspective of strength, I also think it should be the anomaly that adheres to our rules, not us to its.”

The usually quiet Xia Liufang spoke up as well.

“Alright, alright, I hope it’s as you all say,” Old Liao didn’t say more.

He could sense that Colin’s presence had indeed given a great deal of confidence to his subordinates from two different regions…

Ten minutes later, an armored vehicle arrived, and more than a dozen armed personnel quickly disembarked.

Soon, after setting up the artillery, with a command given, the first round of volley fire shot out. The shells hit the target at a speed that Colin didn’t consider fast.

However, amidst a roar of explosions, the target building didn’t budge.

Seeing this scene, Colin reached into his pocket, pulled out a yellowed piece of paper, and threw it out. As soon as it left his hand, it eerily self-ignited without any flame.

At the same time, Colin also declared:

“By my command, mystical and extraordinary effects here are diminished, and real-world forces are amplified.”

As his words ended, everyone’s faces changed, feeling like they had been rendered ordinary by a cut, their Extraordinary Power within becoming so faint it was almost unusable.

Meanwhile, the second round of artillery fire was launched.

Without exception this time, the seemingly sturdy reinforced concrete building crumbled like foam under the barrage of shells, utterly torn to shreds.

Strangely though, when the dust settled, a statue about two meters tall with a threatening pose stood defiantly amidst the debris.

From it, there emanated an unsettling aura.

At that moment, the statue’s head turned, looking towards Colin and the others, while at the same time, the stones around it began to levitate one by one.

But before it could take any further action, Colin suddenly stepped forward and stamped his foot onto the ground.

In an instant, a torrent of surging orange-red flames erupted, rushing forward and engulfing the statue in the blazing light in a flash.

It was at that moment that the ancient statue’s originally ferocious face transformed into one of horror, letting out a piercing scream:

“Fire Master? No, you… Huo Zheng?!”

“Huo Zheng?”

Colin, who had been ready to increase his efforts, paused at these words, but before he could ask any questions, he saw that the statue—whether it was a god of the night or something else—crumbled into pieces in an instant.

At the same time, a transparent vortex appeared and swept away all the abnormal sources present.

“That’s… that’s it? I didn’t even try that hard!”

Colin scratched the back of his head, doubting whether the statue was some kind of clone.

Because it felt just too fragile upon contact…

However, when the employee’s parchment showed the task as completed shortly afterward, Colin confirmed that the mission was indeed finished, completed just like that!

“Damn it, this is what an F Level Employee’s task should be like!”

Colin almost couldn’t help but tear up. When he compared it, what kind of monstrous tasks had he been taking on at F Level?

Now, he finally had a “childhood” experience and completed a proper F Level task.

Although it wasn’t actually his task…

“If I had known it had nothing to do with the ‘Script Book’, I wouldn’t have used the ‘Decree Book’ fragment, wasting my six hundred points. Really, all these rules and regulations, flashy and overcomplicated.”

Colin shook his head in resignation and then, without delay, continued on to his next task.

This time, perhaps really due to good luck, Colin didn’t run into a single mishap all day. With ease, he led everyone to quickly resolve three or four tasks within a short time.

At this moment, Colin finally had a clear understanding of the daily missions for an F Level Employee.

“The normal tasks for F Level, the strongest among the sources of anomalies, may also just come close to but not reach the standard of a nearly Stage 3 ‘Beast Transformation Syndrome,’ but I’m not sure if it’s because of local characteristics, that the things here carry a bit of supernatural color…”

At home, Colin sat on his bed, reviewing his experiences of the day.

Was there a sense that ancient mysteries were reviving?

Most anomalies were housed within ancient objects, with some being statues, some rusted swords, and others strange and bizarre corpses…

Then, half-squinting his eyes, he remembered how every time he dealt with a source of anomalies, they would be shocked at the sight of his flame and exclaim—

“Huo Zheng!”

“Upon investigation, it appears to be an ancient official in charge of managing fire—could it be the archaic name for ‘Firebearer’?”

Colin pondered, but wasn’t it said that anomalies are a modern phenomenon?

Looking at it this way, it didn’t quite make sense…
