Try a Ten-Pull and Test My Luck

After a long pause, Zhao Hun stammered, "Ah? No... is this how Contract Anomalist are after they die?"

Yang Yu seemed to understand the implication. "This is probably because of the relationship between the One Contract Anomalist and the supernatural. They have developed a bond, and it's no longer just because of the contract that they're connected."

"However, such a relationship should only occur in a few cases, right? For example, we can only use their abilities by suppressing and controlling the supernatural."

Zhao Hun thought for a moment and then nodded, "Indeed, that's really the case. Moreover, there are very few supernatural beings that can be communicated with; most of them are highly aggressive."

"If it weren't for the contract, I wouldn't know how to get along with people properly. It would be a miracle if I didn't constantly think about eating you."

Logistics staff. "That's right. This situation has only occurred once so far. In fact, once Contract Anomalist dies, unless he dies at the hands of an ordinary person, in which case we might be able to recover the contracted supernatural entities, basically the Contract Anomalist."

"Why is that?" Zhao Hun asked.

Yang Yu: "Could it be... because those who die at the hands of the supernatural or Contract Anomalist who can control the supernatural are basically left with no complete corpses, and the supernatural within their bodies is also devoured or plundered by others?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Hun couldn't help but sigh, "So that's how it is... That's quite tragic."

Yang Yu pondered, "Doesn't that mean that because there's a close connection between the Contract Anomalist and the supernatural, when the Contract Anomalist encounters danger, it also means that the fate of the supernatural being they've contracted with is threatened?"

The logistics staff sighed, "There's nothing we can do about it. Most Contract Anomalist die at the hands of the supernatural, and supernatural beings also devour each other. Once Contract Anomalist dies, the contracted supernatural being will inevitably be devoured by other supernatural beings."

"Except for a few newcomers who, due to their lack of proficiency in controlling the monsters, die at the hands of higher-level monsters without a contract, the monsters that break free from the contract's binding force can survive."

"The relationship Contract Anomalist and the supernatural is symbiotic; they prosper together and suffer together."

Yang Yu: "The work of Contract Anomalist is inherently fraught with danger. We can only do our best to improve our strength as quickly as possible to protect ourselves."

After receiving the answer, the two said goodbye to the One logistics staff member.

The logistics staff went back to move the chicken coop and loaded it into the back of the truck.

They then returned to Headquarters together.

They walked side by side down the road.

All around were endless plains, with waist-high grass growing freely on this land.

When the wind blows, the grass sways incessantly.

Suddenly, Zhao Hun spoke up, "Do you think the reason the Daoist pursues immortality is because of the strangeness of his contract?"

"Isn't that obvious? What he said didn't sound like he was joking."

"Immortality... Does a world of cultivation truly exist?"

"The world is full of wonders and strange things, so cultivating immortality isn't such a strange thing, is it?"

"That's true..." Zhao Hun chuckled foolishly before falling silent.

After a long pause, he slowly said, "I've always known that the path of Contract Anomalist is extremely difficult, but I never thought about what would happen to the strangeness of the contracts if I died, or what would happen to my family..."

"Don't overthink it. Just train hard and unleash the full power of your strange creature. Your creature is quite strong. If you can fully control it and complete more missions, you'll eventually become a B-rank Contract Anomalist. At that time, you'll have the ability to protect yourself."

Yang Yu comforted him.

Zhao Hun nodded, regaining his composure. "You're right, let's go back and find Captain Wang for training."

Although the Contract Anomalist who trained them was Daoist, since the new Contract Anomalist trained together, sometimes you could see Captain Wang training the newcomers in the training room.

During that time, Wang Qing trained alongside them and would also give them guidance.

After all, Wang Qing was very skilled in physical combat.

Furthermore, there is no rule among Contract Anomalist that if you follow one Contract Anomalist, you cannot consult other Contract Anomalist.

Basically, as long as the Contract Anomalist is available and willing to teach newcomers, you can go and ask them for guidance.

Most Contract Anomalist are happy to offer some guidance.

After returning to Headquarters, the two went straight to the training room.

Let's leave aside for now how much effort they put in.

Shen Yu sat in the control room, opened the system interface, and brought up the Character Card belonging to the Daoist.

On the Character Card, the original level of the contracted, eerie, and Resentful Woman was Blood Robe.

Now, its grade radiates a golden light, twinkling, and the words "Undergoing Transformation" have been added after it...

This is likely an additional function that appears after the Divine Prayer ritual is successfully completed.

It's important to understand that this bizarre advancement is inseparable from devouring a large number of bizarre entities; in essence, it's about absorbing bizarre energy.

Once the strange energy meets the requirements for the strange entity's advancement, the strange entity can advance.

However, besides the strange energy, the strange also needs another ability to advance, which is probably the completion of abilities.

For example, if a vengeful spirit of the "Resentful Woman" type wants to advance to the Fierce Fiend Class, it needs to devour other similar spirits formed from Resentment to complete and strengthen its abilities.

Otherwise, even if the strange energy meets the requirements for advancement, the Resentful Woman cannot advance to the Fierce Fiend Class.

In short, the path to advancement for a strange creature is not fixed. Some strange creatures may be able to advance by devouring one or two similar strange creatures after accumulating enough energy, while others may need to devour more than ten similar strange creatures to advance.

A Divine Prayer ceremony bypassed the path of accumulating energy and devouring similar strange entities, allowing the Resentful Woman to immediately advance in rank.

Shen Yu opened the window and looked again and again. After seeing that Divine Prayer's ability was grayed out and unusable, he sighed sadly.

The problem is that the cooldown time is too long.

Ten years...

Otherwise, if he performed a Divine Prayer ritual on each Character Card, wouldn't the Character Card levels increase rapidly?

What a pity.

Shen Yu closed the Character Card interface to avoid seeing it.

In fact, aside from the ten Character Card he currently possesses, he hasn't drawn any new Character Card in a long time.

At most, they'll just take some employee cards to replenish the staff at the Anomaly Containment Association Headquarters.

Now, the number of employees in the Anomaly Containment Association has reached five thousand, which finally makes the Headquarters look less empty.

Should we draw a new Character Card?

He looked at the Character Card he currently possessed.

"How about we try our luck with a ten-pull?"

Shen Yu didn't hesitate for long before quickly pressing the extraction button.

"Ding! Consumed 100,000 Construction Points, drawing Character Card."

Character Card drawing in progress...

"Ding! Congratulations on drawing an E-level employee card, talent: Logistics."
