Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 92 Before Entering the Tower
The alarm levels for abnormal values ​​are divided into green, yellow, red and black. The red level means there is a risk of large-scale casualties, or large-scale casualties have already occurred. This is the situation that the Ettingburg Branch is facing now!
"Then I'll go too." Bai He said.

The secretary immediately added: "There is more than one red alert. A superhuman has broken into the Public Security Bureau and there have been casualties. It seems very likely that it was An Gang Xiongwu!"

"Looks like I have to go!" Bai He ran out of the meeting room.

"Mr. Trumpet, it's time for us to go to the Lighthouse of Fear! Let Emily come over and take us there!" Edson said to Xia Shou and waved to Reed.

……

……

The towering lighthouse stands at the end of the cape, with the endless ocean behind it.

After flying at a high speed of Mach 5, Xia Shou arrived at the cape fifteen minutes later.

Because the flying psychic couldn't see Su Wei Yu and couldn't provide her with protection during the high-speed flight, Su Wei Yu weighed the pros and cons and finally chose the safer riding.

"So far, the height of the tower has nothing to do with the abnormal level or superpowers. There are even mortals who gain a fear aura and become extraordinary people because they climb more than 50 meters. So how high you can go depends on your personal talent. You may meet some strange people in there, so don't believe what they say." Edson walked to Xia Shou, pointed to the lighthouse in the distance, and spoke.

Xia Shou looked at the lighthouse and felt an inexplicable restlessness in his heart. How should he describe this feeling?
...appetite?

It's not quite appropriate, but if I have to find the closest word, it would be appetite.

But apart from this, the lighthouse also gave Xia Shou another, more dangerous impression, which made people involuntarily think of the pitcher plant, a sweet and dangerous trap.

"Minister Edson, what did you just say? I might meet some strange people?" Xia Shou came back to his senses and asked back.

Edson hesitated for a moment and shook his head. "No, just ignore what I said and judge for yourself! And the situation this time is different from usual. The Fear Lighthouse generally does not radiate abnormalities. It is likely that the ritual that person arranged inside has begun to take effect.

But this is actually very abnormal, because any seals and rituals should not be effective in the lighthouse."

Edson was silent for a few seconds: "Xia Shou, are you really determined to go in? I think Shangguan Yan just wants to test your qualifications and has no intention of letting you take such a risk."

Frankly speaking, he didn't know how to use Xia Shou, the expatriate. He didn't know Xia Shou, or even knew nothing about him.

In fact, after sending a request for support to Shangguan Yan's department, I thought Shangguan Yan would send Baihe and Goro over, but in the end, it was Baihe and this newcomer who came.

This configuration made Ederson somewhat confused about Shangguan Yan's thoughts.

In the past, he could more or less sense Shangguan Yan's plans and strategic thinking.

To be honest, Shangguan Yan's reputation is indeed very bad, but Edson knows that Shangguan Yan is far from being as simple as he seems.

Everyone says that Shangguan Yan’s department is a cannon fodder department, but if you look closely, you can find that although the survival rate of her department is extremely low, there are still a few old hands who are difficult to die and do things very low-key.

Before he was promoted to minister, Edson once went on a business trip to China and had the opportunity to have a brief contact with Bai He.

If it weren't for the accident that happened during the business trip, he would never have imagined that the hidden strength of this second-level finisher would be so exaggerated.

So, when Shangguan Yan sent Bai He here, people from other departments scoffed at this perfunctory support, only Edson felt that the other party was very sincere.

Although normal external support is carried out in teams, it is rare for a single person to be dispatched.

But Edson knew that Baihe sent by Shangguan Yan was much more "useful" than the support team of ordinary departments.

But he knew nothing about the other famous Mr. Trump Card. He only knew that the other party was a super lucky person who survived the Blood Demon's House and the closed area, with a level one abnormality and unknown superpowers.

In the past few days, Edson has been guessing about Xia Shou's true strength. He has communicated with Shangguan Yan remotely many times to inquire about Xia Shou's intelligence, but the replies he received were quite vague.

Although Shangguan Yan always spoke ambiguously in the past, this time, his statement was more elusive than ever before. He could still remember the conversation he had with Shangguan Yan last night.

"Minister Shangguan, regarding Xia Shou, who should I send to assist him? I heard from Bai He that you sent him here to protect Xia Shou."

"I guess so, but Xia Shou may not need protection."

Edson also discovered this. Xia Shou and Bai He often acted separately, and their relationship was not just an ordinary protective one.

"Xia Shou seems to be used to acting alone. If I need to carry out a high-risk mission, what level of support do I need to give him?"

"If he doesn't ask you for support, then you don't have to give him support."

"He can complete the task alone?"

"Oh, I don't think he can solve it."

"So he's very good at getting away with it?"

"Who knows? He has been in my department for less than two weeks, and I don't know him very well. All I can say is that you shouldn't have too high hopes for him."

That conversation was so confusing.

And before, when he asked about Bai He, Shangguan Yan's comment was "Use him casually, it doesn't matter if he goes to die, it won't be a pity if he dies, but he should be the type that has a hard time dying."

In Edson's eyes, Shangguan Yan was undoubtedly a cold-blooded and ruthless devil, without a trace of warmth.

Although she always speaks in a roundabout way, she never hides her true intentions, just like how she treats her own members.

Everyone knows that the survival rate of joining Shangguan Yan's department is low, but many people still flock to it.

Because she can really offer those people conditions that they are willing to exchange their lives for, and she really regards those people's lives as consumables.

She is like an honest devil. Everyone hates her, but no one doubts her reliability. There are many people in the world who hate the devil, but there are even more people who are desperate.

Therefore, Edson felt that Shangguan Yan had actually given the real answer in his evaluation of Xia Shou, but some things were difficult to say out loud.

So Edson spent three hours and finally figured it out last night.

A survivor of the Blood Demon's House, but it was not him who killed the Blood Demon, but a Level 3 Finisher Tamer.

The survivors of the closed area seem to rely on guessing the mechanism of this area.

Combined with Shangguan Yan's evaluation, the answer is obvious.

Xia Shou’s extraordinary ability is apparently due to the resentful spirit that is strangling his neck, but his own ability should be due to luck!
And this luck can probably only work when no one interferes with his actions.

Edson withdrew his thoughts, took a deep breath, and gently patted Xia Shou on the shoulder: "If you want to go in, go in, but don't force it."

"I'm definitely going in."

Yi Lei is a life artist, the one who deceived Su Weiyu's father, and is very likely related to the Blood Mother Cult.

And now, this lighthouse contains the only clue left by Yi Lei. If we can successfully find the items left by the other party, we may be able to infer the other party’s purpose and find him!
In addition, Xia Shou already understood why there was that strange restlessness, because he and this lighthouse had some similarities... to be precise, there were similarities between him and some things in the lighthouse.

"Should I make any preparations before going in?" Xia Shou asked.
