Chapter 608

Qi Yu this little thing is still too cute; this time, Zhang Jie not only finished the worry that had troubled him for years, but also obtained a contained object.

He thoroughly enjoyed it.

After going through this, older sister's mindset will likely improve; I believe she will quickly become stronger in the future.

After all, the Zhang family doesn't have a colored pen; Zhang Jie and Zhang Shuo are both this strong; unless her Zhang Yan is not biologically related, she definitely won't be worse.

So Zhang Jie prefers to believe that older sister's issue is a mindset problem; she has lacked confidence for many years.

As for Qi Yu, she got the answer she most wanted in her heart and went back to find Zhang Yan.

She expressed for the first time the desire to go outside and have a look, but to be safe, Zhang Jie had her hide her insect limbs before going out.

Don't let some investigator lacking performance treat her as a small monster and grind her....

After settling everything, Zhang Jie then boarded the vehicle to clear the Mimics.

This time's target is the neighboring city; the Mimics there are especially rampant, even the anomalies there have been completely eaten by the Mimics.

The report says their city has bred an Unparalleled Thunder Great Gu King; an ordinary person who looks at it once will directly explode.

Yes, a physical explosion—not to mention ordinary people, even a Senior Investigator who glances at it will explode on the spot.

Since this is a new anomaly, plus the Mimics have devoured many other anomalies, this has caused its danger coefficient to keep rising.

Moreover, the Senior Investigator of the neighboring city is currently absent, and the Chief Investigator responsible for this area, Ceng Tian, is also busy with other matters.

So they urgently need a reliable person to come help fight these nasty things.

Well, being immune to various anomalies, having strong combat power, being reliable—just missing reporting Zhang Jie's ID!

Thus Zhang Jie was pulled over like that.

Can only say, Unrestricted is still too useful, bro.

"Old Zhang, I have a question."

Xu Sheng looked at the cheerful Zhang Jie, a mischievous idea popped into his mind, and he spoke up to fill the silence.

"?"

"Do you know or not, actually you're a gay guy."

Zhang Jie's mouth twitched: "How could I not know I'm a gay guy?"

"You kid, if you're looking for a topic, just look for one, stop playing awkward, okay?"

"Just say whether you know or not!"

"I'm not a gay guy."

Xu Sheng saw Zhang Jie take the bait, bared his big teeth, and continued his words.

"No, you're a gay guy."

"Because you're a gay (Senior) Investigator."

Zhang Jie:......

He shivered all over.

"What a cold joke...."

"Hehe, okay, Old Lin, you don't know how hard we've been these few months you've been away."

"Really, only after you left did we discover that what's falling outside isn't rain, but knives...."

"Those three intern investigators you brought, do you know one died a few days ago?"

Zhang Jie was startled; he really didn't know about this!

"How did he die?"

He remembered those interns' talents were not bad, not much worse than Huang Mao, so they shouldn't have died so easily, right?

"How did he die? It's all your fault."

"If it weren't for your Thunder Unrestricted effect, that guy wouldn't have had the urge to try tearing apart a B-rank anomaly with his hands."

"Now I get it...."

Zhang Jie already knows who it is; that guy, Zhang Jie knows, also learned Unrestricted as a supernatural power, its effect is much better than ordinary Unrestricted, and he's been nicknamed Little Zhang Jie.

Success and failure are both like this; after all, he's not the real Zhang Jie, is this not? He's capsized.

Zhang Jie shook his head regretfully; he's still not suited to mentoring newcomers—since gaining the effect of immunity to anomalies, Zhang Jie has long stopped reciting the anomaly countermeasures manual.

He's forgotten many things completely, let alone mentoring newcomers.

"By the way, are you still stuck at level 2?"

"? What do you mean 'still'? You think everyone's like you."

"Well, never mind...."

Zhang Jie helplessly chatted a few words with Huang Mao, then shifted his attention to the contained object in his pocket.

That small vortex is overall a cube, with a vortex on one face, but Zhang Jie still hasn't figured out what it's used for.

So, this time cleaning up the anomaly, he brought this thing, hoping to discover some uses of the containment objects.

And unbeknownst to him, Zhang Jie's journey had already been locked onto by a pair of eyes; this person was precisely the culprit who, back then, caused Zhang Jie's family to be separated for nearly ten years.

Zhang Jie had kept an eye out back then, guarding against exactly this kind of person!

Back then, it was he who got the news, it was he who first organized a team wanting to contain this abyss, thus heading into the forbidden zone, but he was almost devoured by the Chief Investigator's obsession, immersing himself in a false world for nearly ten years.

To put it bluntly, the Chief Investigator's obsession simply thought he was too weak and directly kicked him out.

And after he left that world, he also understood something, but he didn't confront it outright; he merely investigated behind the scenes.

Zhang Jie wasn't hiding anything, nor could he hide anything; a casual investigation would reveal the clues.

As long as one isn't an idiot, one can see the clues; it's obvious that only Zhang Jie's arrival broke all of this.

「...... 」

「百無禁忌.... 首席之資.. 」

The man with a full beard furrowed his brow, inwardly calculating how to deal with Zhang Jie.

He needed that containment item, desperately needed it, and would obtain it at any cost!

He just didn't know whether Zhang Jie would be willing to give it up despite the pain.

As for whether to reach out and seize it by force? Come on, man, you're drunk!

A human who could rip an A‑level anomaly apart with his bare hands, who alone endured high‑intensity contamination and pushed into the depths of the forbidden zone, fulfilling the chief investigator's obsession—an advanced investigator only eighteen years old.

That's exactly such a formidable person—you want to rob him? Buddy, you're the truly brave one!

He could never forget the scene of that day, that hell‑like scene; even with his steadfast will, merely recalling that day's scene made his whole body tremble.

Under the siege of countless anomalies, even that chief investigator could only achieve mutual destruction; and how did this immortal manage it?

He thought it over left and right, the more he thought the more frightened he became—could this thing truly be something humans could accomplish?

"No matter what... we must not become enemies with him."

He was genuinely afraid that Zhang Jie would punch him into minced meat.

The people of the old Zhang family are truly one more sinister than another; not to mention Zhang Jie—with one hand he knows no taboos, kicking anomalies like dogs.

One who shows no trace of the supernatural from head to toe, yet with sheer brute strength insists he possesses supernatural power.

And that fellow named Zhang Yan—he looks like the biggest loser, but he might very well be the one hiding the deepest!

"This family of sinister gadgets...."
