Is it really normal to contain these anomalies?

This was indeed his real wish. After all, Terraria didn't have a blood moon every night, and there weren't "cute" big-eyed people causing trouble every night... But the task assigned by the system had been completed, and Bai Yu no longer wanted to risk his life on luck.

"You haven't been in there before!" Bird completely collapsed when he saw Bai Yu rejecting him again and again.

"Who said there wasn't?" Bai Yu's brows twitched unhappily upon hearing this. "It's just that the ending wasn't very good!"

"Alright! Bird, can you be a little more manly? This is your job, not Bai Yu's!" Yulia interrupted Bird unhappily and waved to the security guard at the door, "Come on, get him in!"

But when he saw the muzzle of the M4 gun pointed at him, Bird got scared. He knew in his heart which was better: the possible death by entering the containment room or the death by refusing to work.

"Bai Yu, you are the key to his survival..."

Seeing Bird's figure appear outside the containment room on the surveillance camera, Yulia finally shook her head.

"When does the work start?" At this moment, Bai Yu also came to the surveillance camera. The surveillance cameras inside the K3 shelter were all destroyed, but staying here would indeed allow him to obtain information about the guide's work situation in the first place.

"Three minutes later...you came here just for this guy?" Yulia was a little surprised. "I didn't realize you were such a nice person."

"...Alas..." Bai Yu sighed, but was too lazy to explain.

In the surveillance video of the 'entrance', Bird walked into the containment room, and as the second door closed, there was no more movement.

Ten minutes...

Thirty minutes...

One hour...

"The work is done, but the results are poor." Yulia glanced at the feedback from the K3 containment room and sighed, "But that's within expectations."

The woman stood up and walked back to the coffee machine. After all, she had seen many cases of "poor work results" and it was nothing to worry about.

Bai Yu continued to look at the screen, until a minute later, he calmly spoke up to remind him.

"Yulia, something's wrong... He's not coming out."

"Huh?" Yulia put down her half-brewed coffee, hurried back to the monitor, and shouted into the microphone, "Hey! Bird, are you still alive?"

Every employee who escapes from the Abnormality Containment Room is usually impatient...

If it doesn't come out, there are only two possibilities: it doesn't want to come out, or... it can't come out.

Three minutes later, no one appeared at the entrance.

The security personnel finally received the order and walked into the entrance hall. When they saw the tragic scene in the holding room, they couldn't help but frown and spoke in a low voice.

"Senior Yulia, Bird is dead."

"Is he really dead?" Yulia was a little surprised when she heard the news.

In the next moment, Bai Yu seemed to see a depressed mood from this elite employee of the control department, but Yulia quickly concealed this emotion.

"It's better to die, it can be considered as a liberation from this hell..."

She seemed to habitually touch the ice mark on her face left by the Snow Queen, then turned around and walked back towards the coffee machine.

Looking at Yulia's back, Bai Yu was silent for a moment, then said.

"Yulia, please open the K3 containment room again. I'll go in and take a look..."

"Okay... go ahead if you want to. It's best to bring that guy's body back to the Intelligence Department..." Yulia's voice was calm, "so that I won't have to help him with this kind of thing in the end."

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

The K3 containment chamber is opened...

Even Bai Yu, an old employee who claimed to be accustomed to bloody scenes, felt a little nauseous.

The moment the gate was opened, the smell of blood completely overwhelmed the fresh fragrance of oak.

'Looks like he finally met her...'

Stepping on the beautiful oak floor stained with blood, Bai Yu walked into the holding room.

The torches were still burning, illuminating this bloody feast, the body, the organs... Bird had been torn into pieces.

Oh...and one more piece.

In the corner, Bird's head was dramatically left, without any damage. On that young face, there was only fear, and his pupils witnessed all the despair...

'...I'm sorry. I hope you can rest in peace.'

Bai Yu sighed and reached out to help him close his eyes, which had remained open until his death.

However, he didn't feel any real apology in his heart, at most he just felt pity.

After all, this is fate. If he had come in for Bird, he would be the one who caused this tragedy.

'So...'

Bai Yu raised his head and looked elsewhere.

He began to search, looking for the Abnormality that was supposed to be here.

Finally, in the same corner, he saw the dead guide.

Compared to Bird, the guide was in much better condition. Only his abdomen was hollowed out, and with his head lowered, at least his body was intact.

'No sign of resurrection?'

Bai Yu drew his pistol and moved closer step by step. Just as he reached the body and was about to bend down to examine it carefully.

Behind him, the familiar male voice came again.

“Oh…my ex died a horrible death…I really hope that won’t happen to me…”

Chapter 10: New Guide

Abnormalities are beings that cannot be destroyed. Even if they are killed, they will only be resurrected in the containment chamber...

Like now.

Bai Yu looked back and saw another guide sitting on the chair.

The new guide looked helplessly at the corpse in the corner that looked exactly like himself, but he seemed to be used to it.

Soon, he noticed that Bai Yu had noticed him, and then he smiled gently, just like the first time he greeted him.

"Hi, Baiyu. How can I help you?"

Bai Yu silently put away the weapon in his hand, but he also knew that there was no need for the two of them to greet each other like they did when they first met.

That's right, no matter how hard the guide tried to help him survive in Terraria, after experiencing the death of himself and Bird.

Bai Yu finally understood. Within Lobotomy Corporation, there was no doubt that G-01-05 was an Abnormality, an Abnormality that could die if it wasn't careful...

Bai Yu turned around and stared into the guide's eyes.

"Tell me, Guide, how does it feel to look upon your own corpse?"

"Strictly speaking, that wasn't my body. It was Andrew's," the new guide corrected with a smile. "My name is Brian... And to answer your question, I don't have any special feelings. After all, I'm not like that guy. Andrew is too pessimistic."

"Even if it wasn't you, looking at a corpse that looked exactly like you, you didn't feel anything?"

"Of course, don't worry," the guide said, not realizing anything was wrong, his smile showing no sign of fading. "Each of us has experienced countless deaths and reincarnations. For us, this is like clocking out."

[Observation level increased, current observation level: 2, management instructions and basic information of abnormalities unlocked]

As Bai Yu continued to talk with the guide, the system prompt appeared in front of him.

He finally got what he really wanted on this trip.

Bai Yu muttered in his mind, "Open the system panel."

The next second, a new blue data stream formed before his eyes.

【Data update completed】

Abnormality Name: Calm Guide - Brian

Serial No.: G-01-05

Current observation level: 2.

Containment Class: ZAYIN

Reverse Kabbalah Counter Extreme Value: 34/35 (When this value reaches zero, the Abnormality will break out of containment or produce an extremely dangerous anomaly.)

Maximum PE-BOX output: 12

EGO equipment:?

EGO accessories:?

Damage Resistance: ? ?

Attack method: ? ? 】

[Administrative Notes: 1. G-01-05 is 'almost' omniscient in the world it is in.

2. Regardless of any noise you hear from inside or outside G-01-05's containment cell during your work, please do not attempt to open or leave through the containment cell's security door, otherwise you will never be able to return to Lobotomy Corporation.

3. If you get a voodoo doll that looks like G-01-05, please do not throw it into the lava.

4.G-01-05的名字将随机从35个名字中生成，遇到不同性格的G-01-05，将会影响G-01-05的收容室中遭遇的事件。

5. Whenever a G-01-05 dies, the Reverse Kabbalah Counter of that Abnormality will immediately decrease by one.

6. G-01-05 will not attempt to breach containment, but once the Anti-Kabbalah counter reaches zero, a ████ anomaly will occur. Once the anomaly is suppressed, the Anti-Kabbalah counter will immediately reset.

Looking through the management instructions one after another, Bai Yu didn't know what to say for a moment.

Wow, for a Z-rank Abnormality, the Guide actually has 6 management instructions, which is more than the average H-rank or even W-rank...

Fortunately, these management instructions could not scare Bai Yu. After all, as a former Terraria player, he already knew most of the key points and information.

But there were still a few reminders that did answer his doubts. For example, the world outside the door was not an illusion created by G-01-05, but was indeed Terraria. As long as he left through the safety door, it would be equivalent to a complete travel through time.

"Perhaps if I encounter anomalies that I can't handle in the future, I can just go in?"

A wonderful idea popped up in Bai Yu's mind, but in reality he did not show any abnormal expression when he saw the system panel.

"Bai Yu, do you have any other questions?"

In reality, the guide continued to inquire, "After all—'They say there's someone who will tell you how to survive in this place... Oh wait, that person is me.'"

Bai Yu, who was still immersed in studying the requirements for managing abnormalities, obviously did not take the guide's words to heart and responded casually.

"What do you know?"

"Well... for example, I know you really want to leave here."

"Isn't this nonsense?" Bai Yu knew that this was the guide's 'omniscient' characteristic taking effect, but for some reason, he felt a little unhappy in his heart.

"When you learned about the existence of Lobotomy Corporation, you should have known that no one here would want to leave."

"Alas, that's not the leaving I mean..." The guide sighed, but said in an unusually calm tone, "Bai Yu, you really want to leave this world, you're almost going crazy..."

"..."

Bai Yu completely stopped what he was doing, shifted his gaze away from the system panel, and stared at the abnormal entity.

For the first time in three months, his eyes revealed such genuine ferocity and dissatisfaction.

If other people from the training department were here, they would be very surprised that Senior Bai Yu, who usually doesn't care about anything and can remain calm in the face of anything, is exactly the same as a normal person outside.

This time, the emotions and madness hidden in the deepest part of his heart were finally revealed.

"Am I wrong?" The guide seemed a little surprised. "You... don't want to go back?"

Bai Yu did not hide it, on the contrary he even laughed.

"Heh...then tell me, how the hell should I go back?"

Yes, ever since the first day he inexplicably traveled to Lobotomy, Bai Yu wanted to go back.

Just like every miner working in the dark underground mine wants to return to the surface, he wants to return almost every day to a world that, although not beautiful, still makes him feel safe.

But during these three months, watching his colleagues nearby die miserably one after another in the detention room or anywhere else... Bai Yu gradually realized that going home was a luxury.

He hid his extravagant hopes in the deepest part of his heart, and from then on completely disguised himself as an employee of the Brain Corporation.

Because only in this way, when facing those extremely disgusting abnormal monsters, he would not go completely crazy...
