Chapter 3079: Dangerous Object·S-002 (Revised)

After eating a hearty lunch or dinner, Su Xiao's gaze turned to the skinny monkey, this person named Xili, one of his two most capable assistants within the 'Agency'.

The other one had already been dealt with, because when Su Xiao was about to 'fall from power', that guy's ambition was exposed, intending to ally with Dean Veik to replace Su Xiao.

Upon hearing this, Dean Veik said, 'There's this matter?' and immediately 'agreed', that night he had that guy dealt with, sending people to chop him up and feed him to A-252, A-252 needing to swallow a sentient being every three years or else it would transfer, and the quota for the past three years just happened to be resolved.

Su Xiao lit a cigarette, no matter what, he needed to get out quickly, but under the current situation, if he just walked out like this, it would be tantamount to trampling the Alliance's face into the ground, not to mention other things, that side allocates large funds every year, more than what Finance Minister Xiu Lin allocates.

The Alliance is not to be trifled with, even if it's just a few or even a dozen officials, but to thoroughly provoke this colossal Alliance is a very unwise decision.

The Containment Organization is not the only dominant one, there is also the Eclipse Organization's existence, their power and containment structure are similar, the Eclipse leader Kinsley is a very formidable figure.

Don't forget, whether it's the Containment Structure or the Eclipse Organization, both split from the 'Holy Knight Order' a few hundred years ago, the two major forces share the same origin, their ideologies somewhat opposed.

Currently, the Alliance leans more toward supporting the Containment Structure, if offending the Alliance to death causes it to lean toward the Eclipse Organization, the Containment Structure's situation will become increasingly difficult, handling dangerous objects requires large amounts of funds, personnel, and people with supernatural potential, as well as more field personnel.

Once the Alliance sides with the Eclipse Organization, at most a few months later, the Eclipse Organization will completely rise, they are more extreme, not hesitating to use dangerous objects at a painful cost.

'Xili, go find Dean Veik, two hours later, I will leave this place.'

'Yes.'

Xili lowered his head and then quickly left.

'That someone.'

Su Xiao looked toward the corner of the ceiling, there had always been a feeling of being watched.

'I am not that someone, I am your temporary warden, Deputy Legion Commander, my lord.'

'Oh, go get the data on the dangerous object.'

'Alright.'

The feeling of being watched in the ceiling corner disappeared, a few minutes later, a large pile of data suddenly appeared before Su Xiao, falling with a 'pa' sound onto the ground, obviously, that temporary warden had a short temper, but dared not show it.

There is a lot of data, this is all data on dangerous objects contained and discovered over the years.

Dangerous objects are divided into four levels: S, A, B, C, as for those with even lower danger, they actually exist, but such things are more like objects with side effects, the 'Agency' has no time to bother with those.

First is C-level, dangerous objects of this level can cause multiple deaths, but have no growth potential, requiring 2~3 'Agency' members to handle together, if no contact with headquarters within 10 hours, these members are presumed dead, and ten times the number are dispatched.

Then is B-level, this type of dangerous object has a certain growth potential, initially causing death, if left unattended, it will cause panic and chaos over a large area, civilian casualties are numerous.

A-level dangerous objects have perfected growth potential and concealment, they will cause the death of all living beings in a city, or even a larger range, such dangerous objects begin to exhibit 'inevitability of death', requiring cautious probing first, that is, using human lives to fill, only after clarifying their patterns can they be exterminated or contained.

The most dangerous are S-level dangerous objects, this type possesses rapid growth potential, or is initially favorable to the strongest point, this type of dangerous object definitely carries 'inevitability of death', brute force alone cannot solve it.

Even if intelligence is high, it will similarly be a white gift, facing S-level dangerous objects, one needs both sufficient strength and strong on-the-spot adaptability, absolutely cannot trigger 'inevitability of death', otherwise one will immediately be a white gift.

In handling dangerous objects, over 95% of cases, information personnel first discover the dangerous object, they collect data on supernatural and paranormal events everywhere, then hand it over to clerical personnel for analysis and elimination, finally from a pile of supernatural and paranormal events, they find events where dangerous objects might exist.

Then the 'Agency's field personnel go to probe, after confirming the existence of a dangerous object, they immediately report, handing it over to the 'Agency's supernatural members to take charge.

The subsequent process is simple and brutal, if supernatural members die, more personnel are dispatched, if still not enough, then a Warhound Squad is dispatched, if the Warhound Squad cannot solve it, the Deputy Legion Commander personally goes, not because he wishes to, but because personnel are chronically short, if it is a confirmed high danger, then it is definitely an all-out rush.

Su Xiao's Deputy Legion Commander identity is not just about giving orders from behind, this identity, while having many privileges, is also a high-risk identity, the 'Agency' once changed three Deputy Legion Commanders in one month, as for the formal Legion Commander, that old man is currently nursing in his home, recently Su Xiao was imprisoned, that old man was only pulled out to serve as a figurehead, his main function is just this.

Su Xiao put down the documents in his hand, then picked up a black-covered confidential file, just as he opened it, his eyes narrowed, this recorded S-002, the second-ranked dangerous object.

Dangerous Object·S-002 (Death Holy Grail)

Origin: Unknown.

Characteristics: After integrating various rumors, S-002's appearance is an ancient metal cup, inlaid with three circles of rubies (some intelligence says four circles), this dangerous object has existed for a long time, no fixed behavior has been discovered (suspected to be a dead object, without intelligence).

Current Status: Not contained. No trace has been found.

Dangerous Object Effect: S-002 (Death Holy Grail) will seep out liquid, drinking this liquid can temporarily awaken innate supernatural power (suspected to be awakening innate talent and pushing it to the strongest state), no side effects have been found so far, judged as a benign gain, 10~15 days later, the effect of drinking the liquid will dissipate, no addiction or other side effects, even increasing lifespan (all civilians who drank the liquid seeping from S-002 have lifespans of 150~200 years or more).

Dangerous Tendency: The 10-meter radius around S-002 (Death Holy Grail) is a death zone, except for extremely few people, civilians or supernatural beings approaching S-002 will die instantly.

Whenever a living being dies within S-002's death zone, the death zone absorbs soul power, causing the death zone's area to expand (817 years ago, the death zone once covered one-quarter of the continent's area, within which only extremely few intelligent beings survived by luck, probability below 0.0001%), until someone drinks the liquid inside S-002, S-002's death zone will then shrink back to a 10-meter radius, when the liquid in the cup is fully soaked, the above process will repeat.

Statistics: A total of 17 attempts to destroy S-002 (Death Holy Grail) have failed, no pattern confirmed, S-002's death zone is suspected to be able to engulf the entire continent.

Containment Method: Cannot be contained, S-002 will disappear and move for unknown reasons every 30~50 days (even if the internal liquid is drained, S-002 will still disappear and move), cannot restrict its movement, multiple containment attempts have failed.

……

After Su Xiao saw the data on S-002, a thought arose in his mind, drinking the liquid inside S-002 can temporarily awaken the body's talent, although it is temporary, but if combined with an item stored in his storage space, there is a high probability of permanently obtaining a talent ability.
