Join the Anomaly Containment Association, and Serve Me for Life

The two appeared to be very friendly on the surface, but undercurrents were brewing beneath.

All of this was observed by the people of Haibei City.

Some people just don't have that kind of sense; they can't see the wickedness hidden within.

Some of the smarter people could see it.

"What's going on? It seems like this young man is losing ground when facing that man in white?"

"No way, he was only twelve or thirteen years old when he was able to control the dark side of an entire city, even outmaneuvering those powerful forces. They probably haven't even discovered him as the mastermind behind it all."

"How could someone with such terrifying cunning be at a disadvantage when confronting another person?"

"Was it an act?"

"On the surface, I seem weak and unable to win, but in reality, I've already laid countless traps for you, just like you're walking into one."

"Haha, just kidding, you innocent and naive young man."

"Is this still the same madman, the mastermind behind all the underground power struggles in the city?"

"Don't speak, let me have some peace and quiet."

I fell into deep thought.

"Three sentences to get you to hand over three million."

"Impossible! I could never be fooled, because I don't have three million at all!"

Ignoring the obvious wariness from the leftist, the man in Bai Zuo continued, "See these lines?"

"They are the origin of malice."

The man in white robes said, "Ordinary people, even Contract Anomalist, would find it difficult to trace the source of these intricate threads, because they are too chaotic and numerous, and even years would not be enough to unravel them."

The man in white didn't say anything more. Instead, he raised his hand and lifted one side of his hood, letting his smooth, black hair fall down to reveal his clear, beautiful eyes and brows.

He raised an eyebrow slightly and looked at Bai Zuo with gentle eyes.

Bai Zuo was instantly captivated the moment he met those eyes.

If we say that the eyes of the Bai Zuo are like black holes, then all we can see in them is a bottomless abyss and a dense, soul-devouring malice that makes people afraid to look directly at them.

So, the eyes of the white-robed man before them should have been sharp, bloodthirsty, and ominous, but there was no negative connotation in them.

As if they had endured countless ages, those eyes, as bright and dazzling as jewels, had been cleansed of all filth and impurities.

What remains is only the composure and wisdom refined from a deep understanding of the vicissitudes of life, witnessing the changes of history, enduring the test of time, and delving into the good and evil of human nature.

When you gaze into those red eyes, it's as if you're passing through the physical form before you and directly confronting the dazzling, unparalleled soul within.

These eyes seem to hold countless mysteries; just one glance is enough to completely captivate you, making you willingly surrender to them and become their follower.

Only to be qualified to pursue its secrets.

Once his gaze falls upon you, no matter how you hide, how you disguise yourself, how clever you are, or how outstanding your strategies are, he will see right through you.

Because he had seen and experienced far too much; it was the sedimentation of time, the accumulation of knowledge and wisdom that was beyond human comprehension and could not be expressed in words.

In his eyes, Bai Zuo was like a truly innocent child; every move and word he made was as clear as black ink on white paper.

Bai Zuo's body stiffened, but his brain was racing, reviewing every word the mysterious white-robed man had said countless times in his mind.

The meaning, intention, hidden meaning, and implications of the white-robed man's words.

It was quickly analyzed by the Bai Zuo.

The next part of that sentence means: This doesn't include him; if he wanted to find the source, he could do it easily.

So why doesn't he just say it outright? What is he waiting for?

Wait for me to confess?

ha?

The Bai Zuo considers themselves one in a billion oddballs, and in their eyes, most people in the world are idiots, with brains that are empty inside.

Those people, regardless of their actions, revealed themselves to be like overgrown children, stupid and lacking in independent thought.

The Bai Zuo can easily see through those people's hearts.

Dirty, malicious, jealous, ugly, despicable...

He can see right through things.

From the moment he was born, he was surrounded by the world's immense malice. Thus, he began to pursue malice, maliciously provoking people's malice and wantonly manipulating their hearts.

Watching those people unleash their evil to their heart's content.

He both liked and disliked this malice.

Therefore, he never cared about human life; in his eyes, humans were nothing more than empty shells filled with malice and driven by desire.

The Bai Zuo couldn't help but mutter, "It's really... disgusting."

He stuck out his tongue, seemingly genuinely disgusted.

The man in white was taken aback.

He lowered his hand from the hood and chuckled softly, understanding the boy's unconventional thinking.

The white-robed man's laughter made the Bai Zuo somewhat uncomfortable.

This was the first time he had met someone who could connect with his way of thinking. No, the other person was even stronger than him; they were an elder who had already matured.

As a young child, facing this person, all I could do was...

"What are you going to do with me? Lock me up? Or execute me?"

"If possible, I hope the execution method can be as swift and clean as possible, or maybe just beheading?"

The Bai Zuo readily admitted that he was the one who instigated this malice.

The man in white robes rested his chin on his hand, seemingly deep in thought, "Hmm... Logically speaking, you are an ordinary person, and your past actions should be punished according to secular laws. However, your deeds have not left any evidence to prove your guilt."

Secular laws cannot judge the crimes of the Bai Zuo".

The Bai Zuo has never directly caused anyone's death.

Whether they are relationship consultants or information brokers, and given that the Bai Zuo" are too young for criminal charges, they would at most be placed under supervision and education.

"But..."

The man in white robes looked at the enormous, greedy creature in the center of the city, which was relentlessly absorbing malevolent energy.

"After joining the Anomaly Containment Association, your past sins will not be judged, but they will leave traces. You must bear these sins, become Contract Anomalist, contain the supernatural, protect humanity, and shine for the Anomaly Containment Association, serving me for the rest of your life."

"Can I say no?" the Bai Zuo asked.

The man in white chuckled softly, then put a finger to his lips as if to say something. A gust of wind blew, scattering his words.

Under the vast sky, no one could hear those words clearly.

However, judging from the narrowed pupils of the Bai Zuo, it was undoubtedly an unquestionable and forceful statement.

In people's minds, only those gentle and tolerant eyes remain.
