Chapter 178: Human Traitor
“Welcome to the Alliance News Evening Report. At 4 PM this afternoon, we received great news: the Mysterious Group and other global anomaly investigation and confrontation organizations have fully closed the net today in the ‘Extraction Operation’ targeting the three major anomaly crime conglomerates. The world top 100 group once called the Shenzhou Three-Legged Golden Toad by the people of Shenzhou appeared glamorous on the surface but schemed in the shadows, plotting nefarious deeds. They committed multiple major malicious anomaly events in Shenzhou, destroying the rule of law and social stability, endangering human survival—everyone has the right to execute them……
Let us all congratulate the investigator organizations that made outstanding contributions to this operation, and thank them for their exceptional contributions to our human society……”
Boom!
A skinny fist with overgrown nails punched through the television, causing the TV program’s image to vanish amid a flashing screen and sparks of electricity.
“The master has been executed, the master has left us……” A burly rat with a rugged human face turned around and said in grief and indignation to a crowd of grotesquely shaped monsters. He clenched his fist tightly, with long nails piercing into his skin, seemingly feeling no such pain.
They were all once part of the three major conglomerates. The so-called master refers to those abnormal race possessing high civilization who actually controlled the three major conglomerates. Under their respective master’s modification, they became existences akin to the “master” in their mouths, but still retained some human features.
After the Kong Mo invasion event, the Mysterious Group found a large amount of evidence proving the three major conglomerates’ anti-human criminal connections with anomalies. Then, investigator organizations worldwide mobilized like a massive wave, quickly netting them all.
The abnormal race controlling the three major conglomerates also knew to judge the situation. Although they possessed high civilization beyond human imagination and naturally had ways to deal with humans, but…… They knew more about how deep Earth’s waters ran than this planet’s native inhabitants.
On this blue planet, countless dimensional or alien races are still hidden, and powerful abnormal gods may slumber all over the world. They have special agreements with the abnormal race, and can only attack and counterattack humans under the rules of the agreements. Once exceeding the limits, the other abnormal races would not agree.
Affecting the interests of other abnormal races is just one reason. If they accidentally awaken a slumbering powerful abnormal god, causing a heaven-destroying catastrophe, that would be a catastrophe……
Thus, the abnormal races behind the three major conglomerates temporarily hid themselves, essentially dumping the mess on the mutated modified humans they had “promoted.”
They were very obedient, and more primitive and cruel than them.
The burly rat was a Huo Gu whose transformation had failed. He was immensely proud of his current “bloodline” and harbored intense hatred and resentment toward the humans who persecuted “his race’s” interests.
“We can’t sit idly by. We must let the master see the results we create for Them when They return!” A deformed long-necked small-headed monster covered in wrinkles voiced his opinion. He said through gritted teeth, his skin folds trembling like the threatening frill of an umbrella lizard.
“Yes, we must make that group suffer!” A female heart monster shrieked.
“Defend my master’s dignity!”
“Let my master rule this world!”
A group of grotesquely shaped madmen issued frenzied slogans in the dark, damp underground, venting their light-shunning twisted rhetoric in the dark, uninhabited place. Extreme fanaticism appeared on every monster’s face.
After a long time, they finally calmed their excited emotions.
“Hehehehe, everyone, look who I caught?” A deformed human with a spiral-shaped body dragged an unconscious man into the crowd. He grinned sinisterly at everyone. When the monsters clearly saw the unconscious man’s appearance, a eerie smile simultaneously spread across every face.
……
“According to the latest response, renowned overseas folklorist scholar from the Anomaly Race Civilization Research Institute, Dr. Clark, is confirmed missing, with current whereabouts unknown. After deploying massive law enforcement officers and investigators to investigate the last known location, still nothing has been found……” Outside a barbecue stall in Fengxiang City currently playing news, in the rainy night, several waves of mystic investigators wearing dark green raincoats were wading through water and gathering together at the stall.
“How did it go? Did you find any clues?” Yu Lianyun looked at her gathered companions and asked the leaders who had led the search.
Several leaders shook their heads with grim facial expressions, lowering their eyes in shame.
As the mystic investigators most skilled in tracking and investigation at Mysterious Group Headquarters, they hadn’t even found a single clue about Dr. Clark’s disappearance. They only felt they had let down their own abilities and had no face to face those who placed high hopes in them.
Dr. Clark is an anomaly biological civilization research scholar from the New York region overseas, specially invited by the Mysterious Group to assist in researching local anomalies. He is also an important figure in the New York region investigator organization—the Anomaly Biological Foundation.
For such a big shot to disappear from Shenzhou land less than four hours after getting off the plane is, no matter how you put it, a major event affecting the relationship between the two organizations.
Seeing it was still fruitless, Yu Lianyun’s expression remained as serious as ever. She showed no anxious emotions nor blamed them for incompetence, merely looking up at the untimely downpour and saying: “It’s not your fault. This heavy rain has washed away even the few clues we had. We need to think of other ways to find Dr. Clark’s whereabouts.”
“Damn it, it must be those remnants who did it!” A young mystic investigator gnashed his teeth, saying indignantly.
The mystic investigators’ faces darkened upon hearing this. They could all guess that the “people” behind this were the remnants of the three major conglomerates recently suppressed by their investigator organizations. Although it was announced externally that the operation had closed the net, this didn’t mean all the three major conglomerates’ lackeys had been captured or eliminated.
Like the true controlling abnormal races of the conglomerates—only a very few were caught, but most were these transformation-modified humans resembling the abnormal races. They were the so-called human traitors scorned by the world!
That group of madmen, that group of human traitors, would only act even more crazily than those abnormal races. Kidnapping Dr. Clark was nothing; if they could amass some power, they might do even more despicable and insane things.
Yu Lianyun offered no opinion on this statement, merely saying: “Continue searching tonight until dawn.”
