Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 6 Blood Devil's House

Xia Shou sat on the control bureau's transport vehicle, his body swaying left and right with the ups and downs of the vehicle.

I have to say that the driver from the Control Bureau is an excellent driver. His butt was almost broken in two.

He still had half an hour to reach his destination, and he could use that time to think about his current situation.

Now, he only has three cards to use.

One is Alice, who can steal other people's vision.

The second one is the skill [Self-Destruction] obtained after devouring the wax man.

Finally, there is the bottle of special blood that Shangguan Yan gave him, which can increase the level of abnormality.

Although he still has Dorian Gray's pocket watch, he can neither draw a self-portrait nor has the time to draw, so the pocket watch may not be useful in this mission.

"The situation is not too bad. At least [Seeking One's Own Death] gives us a chance to try and make mistakes." Xia Shou said to Alice.

Once the self-destructive strategy is activated, you must advance one hundred meters along the most dangerous route, but the one-hour death rewind is the best way to explore intelligence.

Turning over the information Shangguan Yan gave him, the title of the first page was "Investigation Report: House of the Blood Demon".

The second page is a photo taken in the middle of a lonely woodland.

The photo shows a crooked country house with dark green tiles and granite walls, one side of which is covered with red ivy.

The pitch-black entrance door was half open, revealing an upside-down entrance hall. The ceiling became the ground, the floor became the ceiling, the shoe cabinet flew above the head, and the chandelier was hanging on the ground, suspended in the air.

Xia Shou stared at the photo, and gradually, the door in the photo overlapped with the scene in his dream.

This door!
He had seen it in the sea!

……

……

In the wilderness, a villa stands in the center of a bare woodland. A hundred meters around the villa is surrounded by a yellow cordon, and dozens of fully armed soldiers are guarding behind the cordon.

Within the cordon, several mysterious men in uniform surrounded the villa, measuring something with various strange instruments.

Zhang Zhengde leaned over and got through the cordon, coming to the person in charge of the scene and asked: "How long has Zhou Hongjie been in there?"

"It's been two hours. Edward's life lamp is still on." The person in charge on the scene frowned.

Zhang Zhengde took a deep breath and looked up at the legendary evil villa.

Ten years ago, this strange-looking villa appeared without warning in the woods on the outskirts of Jiangbo City. The appearance of the villa is exactly the same as the "Blood Demon's House" in "Dorian Gray's Notebook".

In view of the frequent occurrence of blood demon incidents in reality, the Administration sent S-level investigator Edward. Finally, three days later, Edward and the villa disappeared.

With Edward's disappearance, the blood demon phenomenon that appeared from time to time in reality also disappeared, and a strange event that had long endangered reality was resolved.

However, although Edward is missing, the lamp representing his life has been burning in the Administration until now.

For ten years, the Authority has been waiting for the Blood Demon House to reappear.

Until today, the evil house finally appeared.

To deal with this special incident, the Control Bureau sent the second-level finisher Zhou Hongjie and five other first-level finishers into the Blood Demon's House.

Up to now, the outside world has not received any feedback from them. According to the rules, they should be regarded as sacrifices.

"Even Zhou Hongjie failed to complete the task?" Zhang Zhengde asked worriedly.

At some point, a masked man appeared behind Zhang Zhengde and reminded him, "Edward is a top investigator, and everyone wants to rescue him.

But the blood demon incident was resolved ten years ago, and this villa is now just a mysterious building that appears suddenly like a mirage... It poses no obvious threat to the world. If you continue to send people in, you may be able to rescue Edward, but it is more likely that you will die in vain.

You know the value of the six finishers. You have already lost this gamble, and you will only lose more if you continue."

Zhang Zhengde said nothing as he took the anomaly meter from the detector beside him. The number on the meter soared to 1257.

This indicator is similar to nuclear radiation in the strange world, strange activities, and the death of extraordinary people, which will increase the rise of this indicator, and numbers above 1000 represent two possibilities.

The first is that there is something extremely terrifying in this house.

The second type is that the number of extraordinary personnel who died in the house far exceeded the normal value.

No matter which one it is, it shows that this "Blood Demon's House" is extremely dangerous.

Zhang Zhengde looked at the Blood Demon's House, remained silent for a long time, and finally said: "Let's try again."

"There's no need. Continuing the rescue will only increase meaningless sacrifices and even increase the instability of the Blood Demon's House. Let's just forget it." said the masked man.

Zhang Zhengde glanced at the masked man, took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it: "That's not what I meant. The minister has already contacted a third-level finisher, and he will be here soon."

The masked man glanced at the other person and said, "Level 3 closer? Did the boss contact him personally?"

The Finisher is an honorary title awarded to extraordinary people by the Control Bureau after extremely rigorous evaluation.

The level promotion of the Finisher is extremely strict, and the most important indicator is the frequency and difficulty of solving strange events alone.

Each first-level finisher is an independent weird expert who is responsible for handling weird incidents that cannot be solved by secular armed forces.

They have mysterious abilities and extraordinary strength, and can often complete missions without taking any damage.

Because of their existence, the Control Bureau saves a lot of materials and pensions every year. Each first-level finisher can save the Control Bureau nearly five million in financial expenditure every year. It is no exaggeration to say that they are the cash cow of the Control Bureau.

The second-level finishers are several times more powerful than the first-level finishers. They will only step in to resolve a strange incident when the three first-level finishers are unable to deal with it.

The second-level finishers are the backbone of maintaining the "normalcy" of this world, and their value cannot be measured in money.

As for the third-level finisher... not only does he need a terrifying record, he also needs a joint recommendation from two second-level finishers.

In this industry, unless you absolutely trust the other person's ability, it is impossible to recommend the other person for promotion.

Therefore, the strength of the third-level finisher is almost overwhelmingly stronger than that of the second-level one!

"Sending a third-level cleaner without approval from multiple departments is tantamount to using the 'special intelligence power'. If the incident cannot be resolved, he will be given a serious warning. What on earth is the boss thinking?" the masked man asked in shock.

Zhang Zhengde shook his head: "I don't know either. The boss seems to want to rescue Edward very much."

"That's not right! Although Edward's life lamp is still on, it only means that his body is still alive!

In a house where the six finishers couldn't survive, what kind of investigator do you think could survive for ten years? What do you think the probability is that he is still human? "

Facing the other party's interrogation, Zhang Zhengde's expression was as hard as iron. He remained silent and said nothing.

Seeing his expression, the masked man knew that his question touched upon confidential information.

"Okay, then tell me who the Level 3 closer is, is that okay?"

"The minister didn't go into detail, only saying it was a man with a possessed spirit." Zhang Zhengde sighed.

Just as he finished speaking, the sound of brakes was heard behind him, and a transport truck stopped outside the cordon.

The car door opened and Xia Shou jumped out of the car.
