Someone Wants to Attack Headquarters? Who?

The expressions on the faces of the newcomers became distorted, as if they were trying hard to suppress their laughter but couldn't help but let it slip.

"Hey! You guys are too slow, get moving!"

Wang Qing suddenly turned his head and shouted at them with a serious expression.

"Yes!"

The newcomers trembled with fright and quickly quickened their pace.

They didn't even bother listening to the gossip anymore.

After all, this instructor was notoriously strict, and his beatings were always brutal, hitting the One felt the most pain.

"That's really strict." Absolute Boundary acted as if it were none of his business.

Wang Qing: "It's better to train harder now than to risk your life on a mission later."

"Speaking of which, why did you show up here?"

Absolute Boundary watched the group of new recruits doing push-ups, practicing shooting, and swordsmanship. Although they were all doing what was on the training sheet, they were all listening intently to his conversation with Wang Qing.

"You're making it sound like I'm some kind of prisoner who needs to be locked up."

Wang Qing crossed his arms. "As an executive officer candidate, and also known as the Joker of the Anomaly Containment Association, you've been rumored to be sent by higher-ups to carry out certain secret missions."

"They rarely stay at Headquarters, and their whereabouts are even more unpredictable than those of the executives."

Absolute Boundary replied lazily, "Are you describing some kind of corporate slave? I don't want to do work. Actually, I took a long leave and have been slacking off... traveling in another world, and only recently came back."

"I heard that the Anomaly Containment Association recently recruited a large number of new members. I came here today just to see these newcomers."

Wang Qing sized him up a few times. "That does suit your personality, but you didn't just come here to see the new recruits, did you? If I'm not mistaken, what kind of moves will Headquarters make soon?"

"After all, even your Joker card has been recalled. No matter how you look at it, it can't be a simple operation, right?"

Absolute Boundary shrugs. "Who knows?"

He stood up from the ground. "I've met the newcomers. I'm going back to take a nap. See you next time."

Wang Qing stood with her arms crossed, silently watching him leave.

However, Wang Qing's aura became much heavier, even though he shifted his gaze to the newcomers.

The newcomers who were nearby, thanks to their enhanced senses, overheard Wang Qing's conversation with Absolute Boundary from beginning to end.

"Who is the One senior? Does he know Captain Wang? Is he someone Captain Wang is acquainted with?"

"Huh? Can Contract Anomalist take a long leave of absence?"

"Yes, I've seen it in the employee handbook. However, there's only one opportunity to take a long vacation per year, and this long vacation isn't included in regular public holidays."

"So good?"

"This benefit seems to be available only to Rank A or higher Contract Anomalist."

"We're still newcomers, and that's precisely the time when we need training and to improve our skills. Besides, there are so many strange things out there; nowhere is as safe as Headquarters."

"That's true. I applied for employee benefits and had my family move into the employee dormitory under the Yi Gui Company. There are security guards on duty there all year round, so even if we encounter something strange, it can buy us some time until we can be rescued."

"Even with the safety advantage during the day, the number of people who encounter misfortune at night continues to rise."

"Not to mention those chaotic places abroad, where could you even go on a long vacation?"

"Without the necessary strength, it's best to stay at Headquarters and train diligently. At least during this time, we have experienced seniors leading the team, ensuring our safety to the greatest extent possible."

"Once we graduate from being newcomers and start completing tasks on our own, we won't get such good treatment."

As the newcomers chatted, they quietly quickened their training movements and worked even harder.

"They seem to be talking about something very serious?"

What recent moves has Headquarters made?

"That sounds like a very important operation."

Unfortunately, Wang Qing's dialogue with the Absolute Boundary ended there.

What exactly this action, or this important action, is, remains entirely speculation.

However, the newlyweds who overheard their conversation spread it among their own group of newlyweds.

Then the story got more and more outrageous.

From the Headquarters recalling all the powerful Contract Anomalist were out on missions, to the Headquarters finally deciding to launch a counterattack against the Horror Game.

Or perhaps the Society of the Anomaly Containment Association discovered an unprecedented enemy and is now summoning all the Contract Anomalist back to jointly confront this foe.

In the small group of Contract Anomalist.

Du Jiashi: "While I was on a mission, did something major happen at Headquarters? Why are people saying the enemy is attacking Headquarters? [Panic] @Everyone"

Xu Rou: "[Lights a cigarette] Everything is fine at Headquarters, the newcomers are all very lively."

Yin Nu: "Someone's planning to attack Headquarters? Who? [Confused]"

Xu Zhou: "No, I don't think so."

Xi Jing: "[Question mark]"

Yang Yu: "..."

Zhao Hun: "No way, I'm at Headquarters too. Where would anyone attack? It's just a rumor. Who would be so idle as to make such an easily debunked joke? It's not April Fool's Day."

Jiang Tianzong: "."

Zhang Lin: [Laughing and crying at the same time] I think I understand what happened. This news initially came from a few new recruits. It seems they learned from Captain Wang that Headquarters would be launching some kind of operation soon, but the specifics of the operation were unclear. Later, through misinformation, it became what it is now.

Zhao Hun: "I knew it! There's no such thing. Those newbies are too idle. Be careful they get caught by Captain Wang and made to train even harder." [Chuckles]

Yang Yu: "However, the news that Headquarters might be planning some action recently is probably true. Remember that person who suddenly lay in the lobby all night?"

Du Jiashi: "I know, I originally had a photo of him, but now the photo is cracked and can't be loaded."

Xu Rou: "The identity of the Contract Anomalist' is quite special. Not only him, but our information is also classified as top secret both online and offline. It's just that the required permissions for investigation are different."

Yang Yu: "Yes, that's the person. I heard he was on a long vacation when he was suddenly recalled to work by Headquarters."

Zhao Hun: "That's pretty bad. A perfectly good vacation, suddenly interrupted... Can you guess what kind of action Headquarters is going to take from this?"

Yang Yu: "Because the new recruits can now go on missions, they can handle most of the low-level monsters. With a team Contract Anomalist can guide them, they can also tackle some low-level Dungeon. Currently, many low-level Dungeon have already been conquered."

"Some of the remaining high-level Dungeon are well hidden and have not yet been discovered, while others are not yet available."

"What actions do you think would warrant Headquarters recalling the Contract Anomalist who are on leave?"
