Looks Like Many Newcomers Will Join

After listening, the newcomers suddenly realized what was going on.

Xu Zhou glanced at their expressions.

It was discovered that Xu Rou, Du Jiashi, and Yang Yuyin were all quite accepting of this approach.

Zhang Lin and Zhao Hun, however, were less able to accept it.

One of them is a former Patrol Officer with his own bottom line and beliefs, while the other is a college student living in peacetime who has never experienced the baptism of a mission.

Zhang Lin frowned and said, "But aren't the so-called 'Contract Anomalist ' meant to protect ordinary people by containing ghosts?"

Isn't this putting the cart before the horse?

Zhang Lin did not deny that this approach could increase the survival rate of the Contract Anomalist, but if he had a choice, he would not abandon ordinary people.

After speaking, Zhang Lin paused, then looked at Xu Zhou and his companions who had been working with him for some time.

Apart from Xu Rou, Du Jiashi, and Zhao Hun, who are adults, Yang Yu and Yin Nu are only fourteen and sixteen years old, respectively, and are still minors.

Even Xu Zhou, the B-level Contract Anomalist they call a senior, is only nineteen years old and has just come of age.

Those who are still away at university should still be enjoying their parents' love and growing up under their parents' wings.

Instead of becoming Contract Anomalist, facing countless dangers, treacherous human nature, and terrifying mysteries.

Finally, Zhang Lin took a sip of orange juice. "Of course, I know this is the right choice. No matter what the situation, protecting yourself is the most important thing."

He cannot expect these people to protect ordinary people.

They were not only Contract Anomalist, but also children.

The saying "With great responsibility comes great ability" is not a knife that drives them to their doom.

Contract Anomalist is simply someone with special abilities, not a hero, much less someone who is forced to sacrifice themselves and be exploited.

He can choose to do it himself, but he cannot demand that others do it.

Everyone else knows this.

"Brother Zhang is too righteous; he's not questioning the actions of the Anomaly Containment Association."

He just couldn't figure it out for a moment.

"Yes, Brother Zhang is a very good person, he definitely doesn't have any complaints about the organization."

Xu Zhou was both amused and exasperated; it sounded as if he were about to tattle on someone at any moment.

He didn't pay any attention to what Zhang Lin said.

As I said before, the Contract Anomalist in the Anomaly Containment Association have all sorts of personalities.

However, the Anomaly Containment Association is able to accommodate these Contract Anomalist with their diverse personalities.

Zhang Lin's personality, compared to that group of flawed and troublesome Contract Anomalist), is nothing special.

It's not a problem at all.

"It's good to have this idea." Xu Zhou first affirmed his idea, then changed his tone.

"However, you're wrong about one thing: the Anomaly Containment Association didn't contain the supernatural in order to protect humanity."

"Or rather, not entirely. Containing the supernatural is the top priority, followed by protecting humanity. And this protection doesn't mean protecting all of humanity; we only need to protect the flame of civilization."

"With so many humans and so many worlds in the world, how can we possibly protect them all?"

"Moreover, people die every moment, whether from natural causes, suicide, homicide, or accidents."

"Individuals are not in our consideration."

The Anomaly Containment Association always provide macro-level protection, but will not specifically protect any humans.

As long as humanity in a world doesn't go extinct, the Anomaly Containment Association generally won't intervene to help.

Even if they do intervene, it's not without compensation.

After intervention, this world will be considered to belong to the Anomaly Containment Association, and no matter how it eventually reverts to its original state, its ownership will change to the Anomaly Containment Association.

After listening to Xu Zhou's words, the newcomers seemed to be deep in thought, and they gained a better understanding of the organization they belonged to, the Anomaly Containment Association.

Xu Zhou finished the last skewer of grilled meat and felt full before stopping to grill more.

"Okay, I'm finished eating."

The newlyweds had almost finished eating, and they originally planned to clean up the leftover food after grilling.

However, the next moment, all the newlyweds and Xu Zhou received the same message.

Because of that recruitment notice, a new batch of employees will be arriving at Headquarters soon.

When the time comes, these new recruits will need experienced veterans to guide them and familiarize them with the tasks.

Until they can complete the task independently.

Of course, only rank C and above Contract Anomalist can lead newcomers.

Zhao Hun patted his round belly and let out a burp. "Burp~ Looks like a lot of new people will be joining us, it's going to be quite lively."

After reading the message, Zhang Lin said apologetically to Du Jiashi, "Sorry, I just received a mission that requires me to train a few new recruits. I estimate I only have about a week to accompany you to find the strange creature."

"It's alright," Du Jiashi said. "A week is enough."

Xu Rou said, "I also received a mission, but I can do it with Yin Nu."

Yin Nu nodded; she had no objections. In any case, she would definitely do the task with Xu Rou.

Zhao Hun scratched his head. "I received a message saying that a senior Contract Anomalist will be taking me on a mission soon."

"Huh?" the others quickly asked, "Which senior is it?"

"Let me see. This senior is an A-level Contract Anomalist, but his name wasn't mentioned."

"An A-rank Contract Anomalist? I don't know who it is, but to reach A-rank, his strength must be immense."

"The Contract Anomalist at Headquarters are always on missions, and since they mostly work alone and don't like to team up, it's rare for us to see other Contract Anomalist."

Yang Yu also looked up. "That's a coincidence. I was also assigned a senior to mentor me, and this senior is also an A-level Contract Anomalist."

"The same Contract Anomalist?"

"That's great! Isn't that even better? Working together is a good opportunity to improve our teamwork."

Both of them were very satisfied with the arrangement.

Du Jiashi said, "It seems I've also been assigned a senior to mentor me; this senior is an S-rank Contract Anomalist."

"Holy crap!"

"Dude, you're awesome! You're so lucky."

With an S-rank Contract Anomalist as my backer, my safety is guaranteed no matter what mission I'm on.

Keep it up, work hard and increase your strength!

"Yes, I hope we'll have time to get together again in the future."

"It will definitely happen."

Take care, everyone.

Everyone raised their drinks, toasted together, and then drank them down in one gulp.

Afterwards, everyone left, some completing their tasks and others heading to the rendezvous point.

Contract Anomalist is a profession that involves constant danger; they know that not every mission will result in a safe return.

Perhaps during one of your missions, you will encounter a terrifying and bizarre being, and then you will die unexpectedly.

They cherish the present moment and strive to become stronger.
