A Contract Anomalist Who Died at the Hands of Natives

"For example, make all the Contract Anomalist disappear, or make all the supernatural disappear? Or make you disappear."

"Hiss, that way I really don't have to work, and I won't cause any trouble."

"I'm scared, I'm scared."

"So, do you think your wish has been fulfilled?"

Yang Yu and Zhao Hun went to greet them.

"Daoist, was the ritual successful?"

The Daoist nodded.

Yang Yu wanted to ask, but he hesitated to bring it up. After all, what a wish was might involve some personal secrets, and people generally didn't want to talk about such things.

Although curious, Yang Yu didn't dare to ask.

He's overthinking it.

Smart people always think things through.

Zhao Hun was rather simple-minded; he didn't think too much about it and couldn't hold back his words, especially since he was extremely curious at that moment.

So he opened his mouth and blurted out, "Daoist Daoist, what wish did you make to the gods?"

"Is it immortality? Is immortality truly achievable? And how is it achieved?"

Immortality?

Yang Yu thought: That's right, the Daoist said before that he was pursuing the Tao and immortality. Perhaps his wish is to obtain the method of immortality, or perhaps he just wants to achieve immortality directly.

Actually, when I heard the Daoist say that...

He seemed a little skeptical.

Because the Daoist has a rather unique demeanor, you wouldn't guess he's the kind of person who's persistent.

But after thinking about what kind of people Contract Anomalist were, he became uncertain.

Because some people may seem perfectly fine on the surface, but who knows when they might suddenly go insane?

Let alone others.

Even Yang Yu himself felt that sometimes he would become a bit excited during missions, and would often lose control of his emotions, leaving behind some dark history that would make him want to flee Headquarters overnight when he looked back on it.

The Daoist had a very good temper and didn't feel at all that Zhao Hun was trying to pry into his secrets. He kindly satisfied Zhao Hun's curiosity.

"My prayer, of course, is that I be with the Resentful Woman forever."

After the two newlyweds were stunned.

Another loud laugh followed, "Just kidding, newlyweds."

The Daoist left with a smile.

His red Daoist robe billowed slightly behind him, giving him a carefree and unrestrained look.

Zhao Hun: "Why do I feel Daoist's words sounded quite serious, not like he was joking?"

Yang Yu: "Hiss, really? I didn't recognize that, but... being forever with the strange entity that has a contract, what's the lifespan of a strange entity again? It seems that as long as it's not devoured by other strange entities, theoretically, it won't die."

"So, the bizarre lifespan is infinite?"

"How is it possible to live with the supernatural forever?"

Even with gene-editing drugs, human lifespan can only be increased by a few hundred years at most.

Zhao Hun: "Oh~ no wonder the Daoist is pursuing immortality. Indeed, if one wants to stay with the supernatural forever, immortality is essential."

Zhao Hun suddenly thought of a question, "Wait, if the Contract Anomalist dies, what will happen to the strangeness of his contracts?"

Seeing that he was looking at him, Yang Yu helplessly spread his hands. "Do you still remember that we were in the same class?"

Yang Yu looked around.

After the Divine Prayer ceremony, someone needs to clean up the site.

Therefore, many logistics personnel stayed behind to clean up the items left behind at the scene.

Yang Yu called out to a logistics worker carrying a chicken coop, "Excuse me, the One, come here for a moment."

The logistics staff member was called to a stop. He looked around to make sure it was someone calling him before putting down the chicken coop and jogging over.

"Are you two Contract Anomalist calling me?"

"Oh, right, this person..." Zhao Hun hesitated for a moment about how to address the other person.

The logistics staff member readily introduced himself, saying, "My surname is Zhang, just call me Xiao Zhang."

"Oh, Mr. Zhang, I was just wondering if you know anything about this, by the way, do the logistics staff know anything about it?"

Zhao Hun continued asking questions, he suddenly thought of this question again.

Yang Yu glanced at him speechlessly, knowing that he hadn't meant it and hadn't thought too much about it, because although the logistics staff had joined the Anomaly Containment Association earlier and had more seniority than them.

But they are just ordinary people, unlike the Contract Anomalist, and the other party may not know the answers to these questions.

However, saying that would be too hurtful to the logistics staff.

You should ask in a more tactful way, or at least not say it directly.

With Zhao Hun's emotional intelligence, he would definitely be a very unpopular person if he went out into the workforce.

"What does Contract Anomalist want to ask? If I know the answer, I will answer it to the best of my ability." Logistics staff member Xiao Zhang wiped his sweat and asked cautiously.

"Do you know what happens to the supernatural entity he contracted after the Contract Anomalist dies?"

Xiao Zhang's lips twitched. "This... this..."

This is a very pointed question.

Moreover, this Contract Anomalist must be a recent addition, right?

The newcomer asked him this question. Could it be that the recent tasks have been too difficult, or he has encountered some setbacks or powerful supernatural beings, causing his confidence to be damaged, making him feel too weak, and fearing that he might die at the hands of some supernatural being in the future?

Otherwise, why would they ask such a heavy question about death?

Should he inform the team leader of this newcomer?

Or perhaps we could have the Medical Department pay attention to Contract Anomalist's mental health issues.

"Well... generally, when a Contract Anomalist dies, it's either during a mission, or outside of a mission, due to an unfortunate encounter with the supernatural, or while exploring a new world, they either disappear or die."

"Generally, the former is found dead without a complete body, and only the confirmation of another Contract Anomalist can determine whether he is still alive."

"The latter is mostly investigated by the Supervision Department, or by issuing tasks to more powerful Contract Anomalist to find the whereabouts of missing Contract Anomalist."

Xiao Zhang recalled carefully, "I remember, there was one time when I had just joined the Anomaly Containment Association and was taken on a mission by a senior member of the Logistics Department."

"A Contract Anomalist suddenly lost contact while exploring a new world. When we went to find him, we discovered that he had died at the hands of the natives of that world."

"Once the Contract Anomalist dies, the creatures that were bound to him by contract will be freed because the contract becomes invalid. However, this Contract Anomalist and the creatures he bound to him got along very well."

"The death of the Contract Anomalist caused the supernatural beings to lose their minds and rampage uncontrollably in that world, resulting in the deaths of most of the people in a city."

Finally, another Contract Anomalist defeated the monster, captured it, and brought it back to Headquarters.

"Because the anomaly was constantly out of control, it was broken down into Weird Crystal, and its energy was used to create special weapons."

The logistics staff, in a very natural and calm tone, recounted a story that could only be described as tragic.

Zhao Hun and Yang Yu both fell silent after hearing this.
