Mission: The Missing Family of Three

Yang Yu put down the barbell.

"Should we go take a look?"

"Go see the strange contracts the newlyweds make?"

"That's unnecessary. After they complete the contract with the supernatural entity, they'll definitely need to be sent to the medical room to rest for a while."

"Yes, we went to watch from the sidelines; it almost looked like we were there to watch the excitement."

One must Contract Anomalist.

Even if Contract Anomalist originally a good-natured person, their temper will become more irritable after being affected by the supernatural over time, so they feel there is no need to go over at this time.

"Let's wait and see. They're new recruits, and we'll definitely be paired with them for missions."

Ding-a-ling, ding-a-ling.

A clear, ringing bell rang out from afar, and upon hearing it, all three knew who had arrived.

Sure enough, the door to the training room opened, and Daoist dressed in ancient red clothing walked in.

"Zhao Hun, Yang Yu, we've gone on a mission."

Zhao Hun and Yang Yu immediately replied, "Okay."

Du Jiashi waved to them. "Be careful on the mission."

"Rest assured."

See you later.

The Logistics Department department had already arranged vehicles; once they got in, the logistics personnel would drive them to the vicinity of the mission location.

This also preserves the energy of the Contract Anomalist.

However, while Contract Anomalist may not drive normally, they still need to learn the most basic knowledge of using vehicles.

This is also to prevent the Contract Anomalist from fleeing the scene by car in case of special circumstances.

After all, there are very few Contract Anomalist who can fly and move at long distances; many Contract Anomalist with lower strength still rely on vehicles for transportation.

"Arrive."

The logistics personnel stopped the vehicle not far from the mission location.

The Investigation Team has already set up a defensive line here to prevent ordinary people from getting close.

"Only three ordinary people went missing this time, but they have been missing for more than two days."

The logistics personnel began to recount some intelligence they had obtained from the Investigation Team.

"The missing persons are a family of three: father Zhang Chengan, mother Qian Qiuyun, and son Zhang Bin. They were discovered missing by Zhang Bin's grandmother."

"When we called them and no one answered, we called the police, which alerted the Investigation Team."

"Based on investigators' interviews with neighbors and review of surveillance footage, it has been confirmed that they have been missing for two days."

Yang Yu: "Is Zhang Bin a student?"

Support staff. "No, he just graduated not long ago and is looking for work. His father is a construction worker, but he hasn't had any work recently, and his mother does odd jobs at home."

Yang Yu: "No wonder, they were missing for so long before they were discovered."

If the elderly person hadn't been thinking of their children and grandchildren and calling occasionally to check on them, they probably would have remained missing for much longer before being discovered.

"Did they disappear from their home?" Zhao Hun asked.

The logistics staff nodded. "That's right, starting from the 9th, we can see from the surveillance footage that none of them left the house."

Yang Yu asked, "Hasn't the Investigation Team resolved this?"

Logistics staff. "It's probably quite tricky, isn't it? They haven't found the strange creature, nor have they found the missing person."

In fact, neither the logistics staff nor the Investigation Team held any hope that the missing family of three was still alive.

This wasn't just a matter of being missing for a few hours.

Instead, they were missing for two days.

Unless you encounter a particularly unusual or bizarre phenomenon, you'd probably be devoured alive the moment you first meet it.

Therefore, neither the mission issued by the Anomaly Containment Association nor the Investigation Team mentioned finding this family of three.

"Understood." Yang Yu and Zhao Hun finished understanding the mission.

The Daoist remained silent, leaning against the car seat. Because his eyes were covered by talismans, they couldn't tell if he was resting or listening to their conversation.

"Walk."

Zhao Hun and Yang Yu got out of the car.

The support staff stood guard by the vehicle, and he bowed slightly, saying, "May you be well."

Then he sat down, ready to be on Contract Anomalist at any time, prepared to send the injured Contract Anomalist back for treatment as quickly as possible if he came out seriously injured.

Zhao Hun and Yang Yu walked ahead.

The Daoist priest walked behind them in a nonchalant manner.

However, as the Daoist moved around, the bells hanging on his body would occasionally ring, making them feel as if they were leaning against a big tree and feeling much more at ease.

The Investigation Team stood guard at the cordon, and when they saw someone approaching, they gripped their weapons.

It's nighttime now, and we're not under the protection of any safety buffs.

They must be wary of everything; anyone who gets close will be seen as a sinister figure in disguise, and they will be prevented from approaching.

"Stop! Who's that in front of you?"

Zhao Hun and Yang Yu stopped. "We are Contract Anomalist."

"Contract Anomalist?" The investigators exchanged glances, surprised that this task would be taken over by Contract Anomalist.

But they didn't relax. "Please show me your identification."

Zhao Hun had no choice but to take out his employee card.

After glancing at the employee cards, the investigator immediately bowed respectfully to them, "Please come in."

Zhao Hun and Yang Yu crossed the cordon.

Entering the apartment building before us.

After the incident, the Investigation Team confirmed it was an unusual event and evacuated all the residents of the apartment building.

There are no residents in this apartment building now.

Apart from the automatic lights still on in the hallway, the entire apartment was eerily quiet, without a single sound.

Zhao Hun and Yang Yu chose the stairs.

In a building where an unusual event has occurred, the worst choice is to take the elevator.

Even if they encounter something strange while going up the stairs, there's still some space for them to dodge and fight back.

However, inside the elevator, the space is cramped, and if that strange entity cuts the cable or takes control of the elevator, the Contract Anomalist inside, unless their strength reaches A-level, will most likely be doomed.

Although the investigators didn't report anything unusual about the elevator, as two young Karamis, they figured it was best to be cautious.

It's only the fifth floor anyway; for them, that height is a piece of cake.

They ran to the fifth floor as fast as they could.

The apartment unit where the missing family lived was found, 501.

The iron gate had been forcibly broken into, and was now only slightly ajar; it could be easily pushed open.

Zhao Hun concentrated the strange energy in his hand, then grabbed the doorknob and pushed open the iron door.

I reached for the light switch in the entryway and turned on the light.

Inside was a large hall.

The house is neatly arranged, and the furnishings here show that it is a very warm and cozy home.

Zhao Hun sighed. It was a pity that such a family had encountered such a strange occurrence.

"How about it?"

No strange aura was detected.

The two walked around the hall but didn't notice anything unusual.

The Daoist did not enter the room, but leaned gently against the door, gazing thoughtfully at the scene inside.
