Chapter 636: Prophecy

During this period, Lei Na's level improved quickly; with you leading the team, plus the Hundred No Taboos greatly boosting survivability, Lei Na's willpower level rose rapidly, reaching level 2.

In the outer region, this single city alone, thanks to your presence, has nearly eradicated anomalies in just a few months.

And you have also left behind some responsible people in this city; they will autonomously clear anomalies, seek resilient juniors, and select outstanding investigators.

I expect it won't be long before this city sees great improvement, and you may not necessarily return here.

Zhang Jie, get ready; I've already sent someone to meet you.

At this moment, Zhang Jie carries a backpack containing a cat-sized Qi Yu, and in his other hand he holds a suitcase, but his face is completely different from before.

Ceng Tian prepared a bionic mask for him, to blend in aboard the transport ship heading to Blue Star.

I have arrived.

Zhang Jie looked at the personnel coming to pick him up, and took a deep breath.

Going to another planet—this is really... stimulating.

Hmm, I warn you again: if you haven't reached level 5, you will remain there forever.

My hand still can't reach that place.

I know.

Zhang Jie had indeed thought this way; the forbidden zone on the mother star is really... too dull.

Even S-Rank Anomalies are rare species; if this continues, not only will Supreme Glory be unable to grow, but he himself doesn't know how many years he'll be stuck there.

Zhang Jie's figure slowly walked toward the transport ship; Ceng Tian waited on the other side for a while, and only after his subordinates confirmed there were no problems did he let out a breath.

It's time to go to the meeting.

Ceng Tian muttered, and the meeting he was to attend almost covered the strongest forces among all humanity.

He arrived at the vast conference hall; below, about a hundred or more people sat, without exception, almost all were level 5 members of the Anomaly Bureau!

Final Overseer, Ultimate Border Warden, Chief Investigator, Root Analyst—these are the positions of all level 5 members.

The Final Overseer guards extremely dangerous containment items; the Ultimate Border Warden suppresses the highest-level forbidden zones; the Root Analyst researches frontline unknown anomalies.

Below, there are over a hundred people! Meanwhile, the seats on the other side are entirely composed of holographic images, with an even larger number!

Those are the Anomaly Bureau staff stationed on Blue Star! Likewise, they are also level 5!

Ceng Tian casually found a seat and sat down, a feeling of insignificance welling up; the true ceiling of humanity in this world, the genuine upper echelon of the Anomaly Bureau, lies above: the Forbidden Sequence!

Cough cough, everyone, please be quiet.

An aged voice came from a hologram above; beside him were seven figures, four holograms and three real people.

As everyone knows, we now have an even more troublesome hostile force: Mimicry.

Regarding this force, we held discussions and finally decided to activate Forbidden Code 1, consuming the lives of one million people, to prophesy the future.

One million people—possibly death row inmates, possibly artificial humans—overall, this number hardly impacts the human world.

You should know, the authorities have long been quietly deploying artificial humans worldwide; in recent years they've deployed no less than three billion, so what is this cost?

Prophecy will not come to pass in a normal way as we understand it, but we can alter it to some extent.

Prophecy... ultimately points to a single answer.

Legendary Investigator.

Ceng Tian frowned; Legendary Investigator? The true master of level 7 willpower.

Only the first person in history to venture deep into the forbidden zone, by sacrificing everything to the containment objects, briefly became a Legendary Investigator for ten seconds.

In the present age, there is no such thing as a Legendary Investigator!

Ceng Tian looked at those high-level figures above; they are seven humanity's ceilings, representing the current peak of humanity, namely level 6.

They are not only called high-ranking officials of the Anomaly Bureau, but also have an exclusive position similar to Chief Investigator, called: Forbidden Permit.

Also called Forbidden Investigators, but once they reach this rank, their duties are no longer limited to investigation.

Now we will announce the prophecy; everyone, look for clues according to your thoughts.

Two sentences, very concise, yet they leave people baffled.

When countless light cones converge, a Legendary Investigator will be born.

Everything he does not cherish will be completely devoured by Mimicry.

Ceng Tian stared for a long time and found nothing worth saying; isn't it just saying that a Legendary Investigator will appear when certain conditions are met, then be killed by Mimicry?

What else is there to say?

Ceng Tian furtively glanced at the other chiefs around him; seeing their expressions were the same, this isn't cryptic—it's practically a blatant ending.

You've all seen this; next, the Anomaly Bureau will launch a large-scale counteroffensive against Mimicry.

At the same time, we will fully analyze the words 'light cone convergence'; for us, the Legendary Investigator is the key to breaking the stellar barrier.

Meanwhile, Zhang Jie had perfectly blended into the transport ship; looking down at the ever-receding land, he felt a sigh.

Qi Yu also stared with two big eyes at the ground below; Ceng Tian had arranged a private compartment for him—this guy is a bit stiff, but he gets the job done well.

Master! Master!

What's up?

Master!

Oh.

Zhang Jie could tell from Qi Yu's tone that she was probably hungry, or maybe craving; in any case, Zhang Jie had to contribute some blood.

Please note: we are about to enter the interstellar contamination zone; passengers, bring your anti-contamination masks and keep your thoughts clear.

The airship passed through the contamination storm, but for Zhang Jie it was just a painless, itchless wash.

Master! Master!

What again?

Qi Yu stood on all fours, and in front of Zhang Jie lifted her leg.

Zhang Jie:.....

The toilet is at the back.

Don't piss on me!!!

This kid is still a bit stupid, after all his brain hasn't fully recovered, but I guess it won't be long.

Soon after.... a blue-colored planet suddenly appeared before his eyes, bluer and larger than the mother star, cloudless for thousands of miles, but the only bad thing is, this beautiful planet is covered with tattoos like centipedes.

I guess, that must be the forbidden zone; even from that far away, Zhang Jie can smell that exciting pollution smell.

The will level that had been unmoving for a long time seems to start shaking at this moment.

Zhang Jie knew, this trip was right!
