Is it really normal to contain these anomalies?

"Abnormality! Abnormality!" Bird said breathlessly.

"Containment breach?!"

Bai Yu frowned slightly. He didn't want to go to the front line. Now he only had the standard 9mm pistol and riot stick of the company's cannon fodder. He didn't even have an EGO equipment. He was probably going to die if he faced a T-level abnormality.

"No!" Bird's face flushed red. "Wasn't the K3 containment chamber empty?! Just now, an Abnormality appeared out of nowhere!"

out of thin air?

For the first time, Bird finally saw the surprised expression of his ultimate "old" predecessor.

"Are you sure?" Bai Yu really didn't dare to believe it.

In his memory, the origins of the anomalies were extremely strange. They were constantly distributed from superiors to subordinates, and it was impossible for them to appear out of thin air.

"Really!" Bird grabbed Bai Yu's shoulders and shook him vigorously. "They even let me do my first job!! Senior, you must save me!"

For the first time, letting an employee face a completely unknown abnormality alone is no different from committing suicide unless they are extremely lucky.

"But I've already met my daily energy target... Good luck."

After listening to Bird's explanation, Bai Yu's movements became more efficient. He already understood what Bird meant.

He just wanted to do the job for him for the first time. This kind of thing...he and Bird were not close friends, so how could he do it?

"Don't..." Bird's legs softened, and he suddenly knelt on the ground without any dignity, hugging Bai Yu's thighs. "Please, senior, as long as you do it for me this time, I'm willing to do anything in the future!"

The security personnel behind Bird came forward and helped him up. For some employees who were unwilling to work, the company naturally had ways to educate them.

"Senior..." Komini wanted to say something. Although she had not yet officially joined the company and did not understand what an abnormality was, the almost desperate cry of another colleague behind her made her feel a little uncomfortable.

Bai Yu ignored the noise behind him and turned his attention back to the time clock.

But at this moment, when he looked down, a line of small blood-red words appeared in front of his eyes.

[Mission: Help Bird complete the investigation of the Abnormality? ? ? Mission Reward: Officially open the system panel.] 1

Chapter 3 Lobotomy Corporation is not a paradise

Bai Yu froze.

System tasks?

For three months, he hadn't received any missions from the system. His daily work consisted of carefully trying to please every Abnormality...

And now, the system actually assigned him a task for the first time?

"Huh... Looks like I'll have to work overtime..."

Bai Yu pinched his right arm in annoyance, and the slight stinging made his confused brain clearer.

He turned around and saw that the fully armed security guards still hadn't pushed Bird back into the elevator.

"Bird, I'll go with you."

As soon as these words were spoken, the farce ended instantly. Except for Ke Mini and Bai Yu, everyone else looked at Bai Yu as if they had seen a ghost.

"Bai Yu, there's no need for you to accept this request," the security captain said, his brows slightly furrowed beneath his protective mask as he watched Bai Yu slowly approach them. "A person's job is a person's job. Even if it means death, it must be completed."

But Bai Yu ignored his kindness and quickly walked into the elevator.

"Let's go."

Bai Yu looked at the majority of people still outside the elevator.

He knew full well that he had no choice.

In this life-threatening company, even if he is a time traveler, death is only a matter of time, and a complete system can undoubtedly greatly increase his chances of survival.

Therefore, as long as he doesn't encounter an abnormality above H level, he has to take the risk.

-----------------

The quality of the Lobotomy Company's elevators is very good. They are smooth and silent, with only a slight upward sense of gravity, making people in them feel that the elevator is actually moving.

But...isn't it a little too quiet?

There were many people in the elevator but no one spoke. Silence and depression spread in this small space.

Only now did Komini regret following Bai Yu into the elevator out of curiosity about his future job.

She looked with some fear at another group of security personnel who had just entered the elevator from the Intelligence Department area.

They were different from the people who detained Bird. They were equipped with bulletproof vests and M4s, and no expression could be seen under the bulletproof helmets that covered their entire faces.

That's not right, no matter how you think about it, it shouldn't be right?

Komini roared inwardly.

For a legitimate energy company, what kind of mission would the security personnel be responsible for that would warrant such preparations?!

Before Komini could think for long...

"Ding dong..."

The elevator made a sound like a silver bell, and the heavy explosion-proof door opened quickly.

Everyone started to act almost at the same time. After walking through a long corridor, they finally arrived at the control department.

Unlike the training department, where there was a faint scent of perfume in the air, here there were only display screens constantly flashing in the dim light and the smell of coffee in the air.

"Bird, I didn't expect you to actually be able to drag him here..."

Under the illumination of the monitor, a blue-haired woman holding a coffee cup walked over with a smile.

"Hi, Bai Yu, we haven't seen each other for a long time."

"...Yulia? You're not dead yet."

Looking at the person in front of him, Bai Yu was more shocked this time.

Of course he remembered this woman. A month ago, she had come to him specifically for work.

That was to deal with the H-rank Abnormality F-01-37 Snow Queen.

It seems that at that time, an employee was kissed twice by the Snow Queen while working, and because of that, she was frozen in the room.

In order to seek a way to save them, Yulia found Bai Yu, an "abnormality expert" who was already famous in the branch.

"Those frozen in the ice are not dead. Only after a full day has passed will they be completely dead. Those with enough courage can save the Frost Queen in the duel..."

Bai Yu told Yulia the method of rescue, and they have had no contact since then.

Afterwards, Bai Yu found out that the person was Yulia's sister.

And now, looking at the huge ice mark that ran through Yulia's beautiful cheek, he knew that this guy had succeeded. This was no ordinary scar, it was an EGO ornament that only the savior and the saved could obtain.

"So, where's your sister?" Bai Yu asked softly. He wanted to know how the story ended. "You saved her, right?"

Yulia took a sip of her coffee, a sickly smile on her face, but her tone was unusually calm. "She's dead, killed in another Abnormality job. I knew a coward like her wouldn't stay here long..."

Listening to the conversation between Bai Yu and Yulia, everyone else was used to it, only Komini was shocked.

die...

Why working for an energy company would kill you!

Komini couldn't believe it.

But these seniors don't seem to be joking.

Komini asked with a trembling voice, "Um... Seniors, what exactly are the Abnormalities you're talking about..."

Hearing this question, Yulia regained her composure. She moved closer to her and took a look at her. Then she spoke to Bai Yu in a reproachful tone.

"Bai Yu, why did you bring a newcomer here?"

"I didn't bring her here. She followed me here on her own," Bai Yu said innocently.

Ignoring Bai Yu's words, Yulia said to Komini with infinite tenderness, "This is not good. This is the last peaceful moment we have. It's best not to waste it. Go back to the dormitory."

Looking at the strange concern of her senior, Komini finally broke down.

"What exactly is an Abnormality?!"

Seeing her junior's collapse, Yulia finally smiled with satisfaction. Perhaps she had already gone mad. "Bai Yu, explain it to her... She'll know sooner or later anyway."

"Don't leave all your troubles to me," Bai Yu sighed, but still spoke honestly, "Comini, listen carefully. An Abnormality can be a record, an entity, or an object. The company's energy is extracted from them."

"They are usually divided into five levels from low to high in terms of danger: ZAYIN (Z level), TETH (T level), HE (H level), WAW (W level) and ALEPH (A level)."

"Z-rank Abnormalities are almost non-aggressive, and under the right circumstances, they can even have a positive effect on employees."

"T-class Abnormalities can cause some damage to employees, but generally speaking, they won't cause any major losses."

"An H-rank Abnormality could easily kill one or two employees."

"W-class anomalies are highly dangerous, extremely destructive, and hostile to most personnel. If an anomaly of this level were to break containment, it would result in massive casualties."

"A-level Abnormalities are the most dangerous Abnormalities in the company. Please keep an eye on them at all times and ensure they remain safely contained in their containment units. Maintaining this level of Abnormalities has already consumed a significant amount of the company's manpower and resources, and if they were to break through, the vast majority of the company's employees would die..."

It didn't take much time to explain this, until finally, Bai Yu sighed.

"Now, do you understand? Our job? For the employees, Lobotomy Corporation is not a paradise, but a hell..."

Chapter 4 The beginning of the journey?

When Bai Yu finished speaking, everyone around him fell silent, even the other staff members of the control department.

Their eyes were fixed on Komini, waiting for her reaction.

And this newcomer...did not disappoint them.

“Impossible…Impossible! Impossible!!!”

Komini took a few steps back in panic.

"The truth about Lobotomy Corporation? She studied so hard for so long, and the Lobotomy Corporation she worked so hard to get into is actually a hell?"

The notebook and pen that were originally tightly held in my hand fell to the ground without a second's grasp.

"You are all lying to me, right?" Komini looked at the seniors pleadingly until she saw them looking at her with pitiful eyes.

They gave the answer.

Yes, you sent yourself to hell.

The next second, Komini ran away, trying desperately to get out of the door like a dog running away.

Yulia was almost laughing and crying, and even looked at the fleeing figure with some nostalgia.

"Hahaha... She's really not suited to this line of work... Just like my sister, right, Bai Yu."

"I never thought that one day you would also learn your predecessor's bad taste." Bai Yu picked up the notebook on the ground and stroked the slightly torn leather cover. "What is this? The inheritance of the Brain Protrusion Company?"

"She'll adapt, as will all of us."

Not seeing the reaction she wanted, Yulia just shrugged her shoulders. She didn't think she had done anything wrong. After all, her predecessors had treated them the same way in the past.

Bai Yu put the notebook into his pocket, but he had no intention of taking it back and returning it to Komini.

"Stop talking nonsense....So what does the abnormal thought manifest itself in?"

Teasing the newcomers can only be regarded as an occasional leisure activity, and the people in the control department quickly adjusted their state.

Yulia handed a document to Bai Yu.

"We've tentatively named this Abnormality G-01-05. Currently, we know nothing about it. We only know that it suddenly appeared in the K3 containment chamber a few hours ago."

"It has destroyed all the monitoring equipment in the containment room, so we can only control the door of the containment room."

"As for its appearance, I can only say that someone has seen it standing at the 'entrance' and it is humanoid..."

“So the first job we’ve tentatively decided is communication work.”

"Bai Yu, since you have decided to do this for Bird, go in."

The task was handed over very quickly, and there was no more information. After all, there was only an hour left for the appearance of the abnormality. It would be better to say that the control department was waiting for information after Bai Yu's first work.

As for protective gear? None.

In the past, some people even proposed using machines to replace living people to do work, but they were still ruthlessly rejected by the headquarters.

This is difficult for ordinary people to understand, but for Bai Yu, a time traveler, he just thinks it is normal.
