Investigation Bureau's Treasury! Old Man at the Door

He wanted to take first place.

He placed his hands on the keyboard, and a very strange computer appeared before him.

He stared at the screen, frantically typing, wanting to kill [Nightfall].

[You cannot kill a headless anomaly...]

[You cannot kill an anomaly without a heart...]

The Anomaly Computer continuously gave prompts.

Zhou Gui was completely stunned. "How could this happen?"

Just then, Liu Jia, who was tied up beside him, could no longer hold back and pleaded, "Zhou Gui, please let me go... I don't want to die..."

Zhou Gui's hands, which were typing on the keyboard, stopped. He turned to look at Liu Jia, a hint of anger appearing in his eyes. "Let you go? You're mine, why would I let you go? I want you to be with me forever!"

"Zhou Gui, we're not the same kind of people... No, if you let me go, I might consider being with you in the future..."

Seeing that pleading was ineffective, Liu Jia began to persuade Zhou Gui.

As long as Zhou Gui dared to let her go, Liu Jia would not hesitate to call the police.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Gui forced out a smile that was uglier than crying. "Let you go? Do you think I don't know what you women think? You're mine, and I'll never let you go in this lifetime."

Speaking of which, Zhou Gui seemed to remember something. He then turned his computer chair with a lewd expression, his eyes lecherously scanning Liu Jia's slender body.

"Since you're already mine, why don't we do something couples should do?"

After saying that, he moved closer to Liu Jia.

Seeing the fat pig approaching with a lecherous look, Liu Jia despaired. Two streams of tears shot from her eyes.

Who will save me?

"Hehehe."

Zhou Gui reached out his perverted hand and moved it up and down Liu Jia's stocking-clad thigh, going higher and higher.

Finally, he was about to touch places he shouldn't.

The moment Zhou Gui touched her, Liu Jia trembled all over and struggled violently.

It was a pity that Zhou Gui had tied her up too tightly.

She had no ability to break free and could only let him touch her body.

Zhou Gui stood up directly and unbuckled his belt.

Liu Jia's face was ashen.

Who can save me...

As long as someone can save me, I'm willing to follow him for the rest of my life!

Just then.

Zhou Gui's phone, which was placed on the computer desk, suddenly vibrated.

On the dark phone screen, black shadows flowed out of the phone like liquid, finally appearing on the screen.

This shadow had no head but had limbs. Its two feet stood within the phone screen, unable to come out.

It was like a genie from Aladdin's lamp.

This was a Ghost Shadow, Chen Yu's Headless Ghost Shadow!

Because the phone was on the table, Zhou Gui had his back to it. Zhou Gui had no idea that danger had already arrived.

[Anomaly Computer Wielder, Zhou Gui.]

[Wielded Anomaly: Level 5 Anomaly Computer.]

[Potential: Three Stars.]

Prompts appeared one after another on Chen Yu's phone.

Three stars?

He dared to hack into the official forum of the Anomaly Era? And caused such a huge disturbance?

Was he too arrogant, or was the Anomaly Era's official team unable to handle it?

With a moment's thought, Chen Yu understood.

Perhaps the cruel game of [Anomaly Era] simply didn't care about human lives... or even the lives of Ghost Controllers.

They didn't care how many Ghost Controllers died as the anomaly spread.

"Is this the wielder of the Anomaly Computer? Why is he so ugly, and a fat otaku."

Chen Yu was taken aback when he saw Zhou Gui.

At this moment, Zhou Gui was groping a cute and pretty girl.

Chen Yu directly controlled the Ghost Shadow, holding the Ghost Butcher Knife, and then silently floated behind Zhou Gui.

"Hehehe, just go with me. If you follow me, I guarantee you'll have a good life!"

Zhou Gui said lewdly to Liu Jia while taking off his clothes. Liu Jia did not notice the arrival of Chen Yu's Ghost Shadow due to the darkness of the internet cafe environment.

"Please don't touch me, please..."

Liu Jia pleaded desperately, but received no response. Instead, it made Zhou Gui more excited and aroused.

The next moment, Zhou Gui was about to pounce on Liu Jia.

Liu Jia let out a startled cry.

But at this moment.

Slap, slap.

A dark palm suddenly patted Zhou Gui's shoulder.

Zhou Gui frowned and subconsciously turned his head, asking, "Who is it?"

But there was no one behind him.

However, there was a headless Ghost Shadow!

Seeing a shadow standing behind him, Zhou Gui's face changed drastically. He was so scared that his soul almost flew out of his body, and he was about to scream.

Ch!

The Ghost Shadow lightly gripped Zhou Gui's head and lifted it upwards.

A stream of blood shot up from the severed neck!

The next moment.

"Gurgle..."

Zhou Gui, with his head severed from his body, desperately clutched his broken neck. His fallen head still looked at the Ghost Shadow with a look of terror. The words he wanted to say turned into gurgling and whimpering sounds like swallowing water.

With a look of unwillingness and disbelief, he pointed a trembling finger at Chen Yu before falling to the ground.

"Ah!"

After Zhou Gui fell, Liu Jia finally saw who had made the move!

It was actually a headless figure!

Liu Jia screamed directly, covering her mouth, her face full of terror.

Killing this Anomaly was Chen Yu's mission.

Saving the girl was just a side task.

Chen Yu didn't waste any time. Under the girl's shocked gaze, he went to the Anomaly Computer and devoured the large Anomaly Computer bit by bit.

The parts inside the Anomaly Computer were held in Chen Yu's mouth, his teeth closing.

Those parts exploded as if they were flesh and blood, giving a satisfying chew.

"Hmm~ I can't describe the taste. It's like chewing on crab shells."

Chen Yu commented and finally succeeded in eating the entire Anomaly Computer.

The Anomaly Computer entered Chen Yu's stomach and was instantly digested.

It turned into a wisp of energy, which then surged into Chen Yu's limbs and bones.

After this energy flowed through his body for a week, it finally poured madly into the Ghost Butcher Knife.

[Ghost Butcher Knife (70%) Level Six.]
[The Anomaly Computer has been devoured by you, successfully upgrading from Level Five to Level Six.]
[Potential: Three Stars (To be discovered).]
[Acquired Anomaly Ability: Anomaly Data.]
[Anomaly Data: By spreading Anomaly Data information, those who come into contact with it can be infected with a curse.]

After controlling the headless Ghost Shadow to devour the Anomaly Computer, the headless Ghost Shadow re-entered Zhou Gui's phone, returned to Chen Yu's side, and finally turned into Chen Yu's shadow, returning to normal.

"Mission accomplished, quite simple," Chen Yu said lightly, exhaling in relief. He then called the Investigation Bureau.

The person who answered the phone was still the same investigator from before.

"Hello, Mr. Nightfall. Are you about to make your move? Do you need assistance from our Investigation Bureau?" the investigator asked respectfully.

"No need. The Anomaly has already been dealt with. The Anomaly was the Anomaly Computer." Chen Yu said calmly.

"The Anomaly Computer? It must have been difficult to deal with. Our entire Investigation Bureau is currently..."

The investigator suddenly realized what was being said, and asked with a look of shock, "What did you just say? You've already dealt with the anomaly?!"

"Yes."

Chen Yu replied.

"I, I'll go tell the Director right away..."

After speaking, the investigator thanked Chen Yu repeatedly before hanging up the phone.

After hanging up, the investigator was still in a state of deep shock. He then walked up to the Director and reported, "Director, I have great news."

The Director was already overwhelmed with worry about the Anomaly Computer, and waved his hand, saying, "There's no good news for me right now, unless the anomaly that hacked into the forum is dealt with."

"You're truly amazing, you predicted this perfectly. The Anomaly Computer has already been resolved by Mr. [Nightfall]!"

The investigator's voice trembled with excitement.

The Director took a moment to come to his senses, and asked with a look of surprise and shock, "Resolved?"

He checked the time on his phone and realized that only a minute and a half had passed since [Nightfall] accepted the mission.

"This, this is only a minute and a half? Are you mistaken?"

"No mistake, it's true. It's already been dealt with. Mr. [Nightfall] told me personally. If you don't believe me, we can check the forum directly."

After speaking, the two of them gathered around the computer desk and logged into the official forum of the Anomaly Era.

At this moment, the private messaging function of the official forum had returned to normal.

And on the homepage, there were no more of those strange posts.

The two of them stared at each other, disbelief etched on their faces.

Meanwhile, within the Anomaly Forum.

The post about the anomaly's invasion had already been deleted.

And another post had been pinned to the top.

[The anomaly that invaded the forum has been resolved. Everyone can post freely again and no longer need to fear being targeted by anomalies.]

Everyone clicked on the post.

They saw a huge, non-mainstream avatar displayed in the main body of the post.

And below the avatar, the words [Nightfall] were written.

The Investigation Bureau had already posted a bounty earlier.

As long as someone could resolve the anomaly that had invaded the Anomaly Era forum, they would receive a large amount of gold and the right to choose one item from the Investigation Bureau's vault.

"What the heck, it's resolved? So fast?"

"Hasn't it only been a few minutes since the forum was invaded by the anomaly?"

"I didn't even have time to react, and the anomaly was already dealt with?"

"I heard this anomaly already killed a Ghost Controller! It's classified as one of the extremely dangerous anomalies!"

"Holy crap, as expected of a super big shot! Amazing from the first move! The anomaly was dealt with in less than a few minutes?"

"That anomaly probably never expected to die so quickly, right?"

"Big shot, do you need a tag-along? Can I be your tag-along?"

"Seriously envious! Completing the mission so quickly and getting a reward that we'll never get in a lifetime!"

"I have no choice but to admire... I hereby name [Nightfall] the strongest..."

After a few seconds of silence, the Anomaly Forum erupted once more. The anomaly's invasion had indeed frightened many people.

Some people thought the anomaly was trash and that [Nightfall] had gotten lucky.

Because they believed that if the anomaly were truly powerful, it wouldn't have been resolved so quickly.

Others, however, believed that [Nightfall] was incredibly strong.

He had resolved an anomaly in about a minute.

Chen Yu, on his end, was unaware of the commotion on the forum.

[Buzz!]

His phone vibrated.

He picked it up and saw a text message from the Investigation Bureau.

It clearly stated the address and even included a picture with the address marked.

This address was likely the location of the Investigation Bureau's vault.

And at the very bottom, there was a passphrase to enter the vault.

Chen Yu could freely choose one item he desired from the Investigation Bureau's anomaly vault.

Tong Jian, who had been in a coma, opened her clear, large eyes and sat up from the bed.

The Ghost Doll, having fussed for a long time, was probably tired too. It had slept with Tong Jian and, sensing Tong Jian's movement, woke up as well.

After rubbing its sleepy eyes, the Ghost Doll saw Tong Jian awake and exclaimed with joy, "Sister, you're okay now?!"

Tong Jian shook her head at the Ghost Doll.

"It's good that you're okay, Sister. I feel like I've become much stronger after sleeping. I don't know why!"

Seeing its body filled with an anomalous aura, the Ghost Doll couldn't help but look at its hands, a look of surprise on its face. It then continued, "As long as I'm stronger, I can protect Sister better in the future."

Hearing this, Chen Yu couldn't help but look at the Ghost Doll.

[Ghost Doll has successfully leveled up from Level 4 to Level 5.]

How did the Ghost Doll suddenly level up?

This development caught Chen Yu by surprise.

Having devoured Anomalies, if he wanted an Anomaly to level up, he could only devour other Anomalies and turn them into energy.

Chen Yu didn't know how Anomalies leveled up themselves.

However, the Anomalies he encountered now were all Level 5, 6, or 7. There weren't many below Level 5.

This showed that leveling up an Anomaly should be very difficult.

[Buzz!]

[It is not simple. You are gravely mistaken if you view It with normal eyes.]

[And she, even more so. Surviving in the Anomaly-infested Honghong Orphanage, she might possess astonishing secrets!]

Chen Yu glanced at the notification on his phone before putting it away.

Even without the phone's notification, Chen Yu knew that Tong Jian and the Ghost Doll were definitely not simple.

Especially Tong Jian!

This child's origins were extremely mysterious.

According to the Ghost Doll's account.

All the children and adults in Honghong Orphanage were dead.

But why did Tong Jian alone survive?

Why was she able to find the Ghost Doll?

And why did she become pregnant with a Ghost Embryo?

These were all mysteries.

However, these mysteries were for later, to be slowly uncovered in the future.

Afterward, Chen Yu invited Tong Jian to go with him to the Investigation Bureau's Anomaly Vault.

Tong Jian did not speak.

But the Ghost Doll behind her agreed on her behalf.

Then, the two proceeded together.

The location of the Anomaly Vault was in the suburbs!

It was very hidden; without a map and coordinates, ordinary people would never find it.

The vault was built in a place surrounded by mountains, and the entrance blended in with the surrounding trees.

If one didn't look closely, it would be hard to spot.

This was also a forbidden area!

Ordinary people were not allowed to enter.
