Such a Grave Crime-Even Suicide in Atonement Would Not Be Excessive
"The S-rank Dungeon - Qingping Psychiatric Hospital- has been completely conquered. This Dungeon will be permanently closed. Completion date: February 2, 2025. Conqueror: Xie Yu, Zhang Lin, Xu Rou, Yang Yu, Yin Nu, Du Jiashi."

Server-wide announcement: Xia Kingdom has cleared the S-rank Dungeon - Qingping Psychiatric Hospital, and has received an S-rank buff, granting twelve hours of safe time during the day for one month.
After a while...
Another announcement popped up in the system.
"Level B Dungeon - the Disappeared Father has been completely conquered. This Dungeon will be permanently closed. Completion date: February 2, 2025. Conqueror: Xie Yu, Zhang Lin, Xu Rou, Yang Yu, Yin Nu, Du Jiashi."
"Based on individual contribution, Nightmare difficulty completion reward: *** (visible only to this user)."
"Team contribution settlement, Nightmare-level completion reward: 600,000 cash per person (received by all contributors), +10 Healing Card (distributed among the highest contributors), +10 Achievement Points (can be used to purchase survival items in the game)."
Server-wide announcement: Xia Kingdom has cleared the B-rank Dungeon - the Disappeared Father, and has received B-rank Buff, granting eight hours of safe time during the day for one week.
The moment the system announcement popped up.
Kong Yubo was far away at the Headquarters of the Investigation Team, stood up.
He clenched his fist. "Great!"
Then he noticed that something was off about the system announcement.
Ignore the names of those Conqueror in the past.
Didn't he remember Contract Anomalist to conquer a B-rank Dungeon? Why is there an extra one?
Is it an S-rank Dungeon?
Isn't this how you do a buy-one-get-one-free deal?
Could it be that other Contract Anomalist conquered another Dungeon elsewhere?
After all, it's impossible for a group of people to conquer two completely different Dungeon in a single Dungeon, right?
Thinking this way, Kong Yubo was very grateful to those Contract Anomalist.
Regardless of whether their purpose was to contain the supernatural or something else, they did indeed help Xia Kingdom solve a problem.
The security buff brings not only safety, but also stability and order.
Although safety at night cannot be guaranteed.
However, it is much better than most places abroad.
Of course, once the news of the Xia Kingdom's plea for help reaches other countries, those countries that were originally hesitant will likely follow suit and begin to seek assistance from the Contract Anomalist.
By then, all countries will have a security boost, and the chaos outside will be much better.
Kong Yubo looked at the reports collected from all over the country with a headache. There were too many unusual events in the country, and he had no time to care about those abroad.
But with this buffer period of more than a month.
The Investigation Team will then be able to further explore and investigate the strange phenomena and Dungeon.
There will also be more time to educate the public on what to do and how to avoid encountering strange occurrences.
And, open to the general public, they began to select and train those with special physical talents.
The emergence of Key Society.
Although it caused him a great deal of trouble, it also brought a new possibility to the Xia Kingdom.
That is, the possibility of cultivating Anomaly Tamer on their own.
That's right, Anomaly Tamer.
According to the Investigation Team, this organization seems to have appeared suddenly in the Xia Kingdom, and it is unknown whether it was smuggled in from abroad or something else.
In short, the other party's identity information cannot be found at all within China.
Only after they arrived in the Xia Kingdom and began to recruit members did they leave behind some traces of information.
This organization is cunning and astute.
Realizing that the Xia Kingdom authorities had become aware of their presence and had begun investigating them, they quickly submerged underwater.
It occasionally surfaces but quickly dives back down.
The Investigation Team went to arrest the people several times, but came up empty-handed.
It was as if the other side had a grasp on their movements, managing to evade them every time.
If Kong Yubo hadn't been certain that every operation was carried out by reliable people who would never leak information, he would have thought the intelligence had been leaked.
"A strange ability?" Kong Yubo felt extremely troubled. The other party was like a slippery eel; no matter how hard he tried to catch it, it would slip through his fingers.
Kong Yubo felt that since the Anomaly Investigation Team was established, his hairline had been receding at a visible rate, and his hair had thinned considerably.
I have a feeling that he will face the problem of baldness in the near future.
However, baldness is secondary; if we can get rid of this troublesome organization, Key Society, then baldness is acceptable.
The biggest fear is that the other side will cause trouble in the Xia Kingdom and drag innocent people into it.
No, according to the intelligence he investigated, a large number of ordinary people have been deceived into joining the Key Society and doing illegal things for it.
"How can we expose this organization?"
Key Society feels they've been having a lot of bad luck lately.
The recruitment effort, which was initially going smoothly, recently attracted a large group of the Xia Kingdom officials who were trying to arrest people.
The Key Society was also in dire straits, forced to abandon several strongholds and hide the organization even deeper underground.
Only after finally shaking off the persistent, hound-like Investigation Team did they have time to review the situation.
What exactly went wrong?
There's a reason they only target students, and specifically those from ordinary families.
Ordinary people, lacking experience, are easily swayed by petty gains.
Given their young age, a few threats are enough to make them willingly work for the company.
Students who don't know the company's true nature will only see it as an ordinary hobby group, while those who do know the company's true nature have already been tainted by darkness.
The company held leverage over them, and the students dared not resist at all, only obediently letting them do as they pleased, like dogs.
But all of this was suddenly interrupted.
The Investigation Team suddenly launched a thorough investigation of various schools, uncovering a number of students and even nearly reaching the Headquarters of the Key Society by following the clues.
If the company hadn't reacted quickly, the entire senior management would probably be in jail by now.
The senior executives sat together.
"Mo Chen, this time it was your men who got into trouble, which implicated the entire company!"
"Such a grave crime, even suicide as an atonement would not be excessive."
"Mo Chen simply misjudged people. Considering his past merits, a few months of solitary confinement will suffice."
"Hmph! Our entire organization was almost ruined by him. Do you think a few months of imprisonment will be the end of it?"
