A few hours ago, in a certain bar near the business center.
Corpses lying with eyes lost their luster. Some dead bodies lay on the floor, some died while sitting, their heads rested on the table and some lost their limbs, scattered everywhere in the bar.
Magnificent crimson flowers dyed the bar, emanating a strong stench of blood.
One thing in common in these corpses was the horrified and despair look in their eyes and expression.
"This is a massacre." A man blurted out.
Two people were standing in front of the entrance, they were dressed in All Beyond's uniform.
Either the clothes and pants were black. Both of them had nothing particular that stood out except one had spiky black hair and one was dyed his hair blond.
Without wasting much time, they spread out. Searching for possible clues.
"Who did this?" The spiky man asked. Feeling his trust towards humanity sunken.
"Some men just want to watch the world burn, we don't need to know what they are thinking.
What we need is to stop them from doing madness. Komi, call Jyun-sama." The blond guy ordered.
The spiky hair, Komi nodded and called the person. As he waited, Komi said, "Yamda-san, will it work? It's almost half an hour, wouldn't the souls already dispersed?"
Yamda pulled out a cigarette and lit it up. Put it on his lips, he sucked it gently and exuded a puff of white smoke from his mouth.
"Her purpose is more than spirit channeling. Right, what element do you control?"
Komi's mouth twitched slightly, you're the captain, how come you didn't know that?
Suddenly, Komi had a thought, "It's Anemo. Speaking of which, Yamda-san, did you join in the fight with that dragon Anomaly? At the time I was still a trainee."
Yamda nodded.
"The one who contributes the most is that squad, whose captain is Narukami, right?"
"Yes, that squad could be thought of that way. The captain is a quiet but genius youth, its first member is the one who always acts without a second thought. They made a perfect combo, why?" He asked with prying eyes.
"Is my squad isn't to your liking?" He added. Although his voice was hoarse and gentle, it was terrifying.
It felt like there was pressure!
Komi let out a dry chuckle, "of course not, I just wondering why not they're the one who was assigned with this mission.
Like, most members in our squad are support type, only you and me that could fight with the bad guys." He explained his reasons to erase the misunderstanding that lingered in Yamda's mind.
Yamda nodded, "that's precisely why. Perhaps no squad in the branch is capable of taking care of the mission to search for the root.
If one successfully located it, a fight would undoubtedly break out. So the branch had to be careful.
Should they choose the wrong chip to play, a loss is certain.
The branch wants to play things safe and see what the enemy's reaction is. As you know, squads from HQ are on their way here.
Heh, whoever did this either has a powerful organization backing them or just a lunatic with big balls." His voice was hoarse yet almost flat.
One could tell that the squads in the branch couldn't complete all missions due to the danger level being quite high.
It was, after all, only a branch.
Before HQ squads arrived, the branch had to lay low and mustn't act recklessly.
In fact, the mission Komi accepted ranged from dangerous to extremely dangerous!
He was a bit nervous as this was his first mission that ranged between those. His usual mission ranged from easy to medium.
"I somehow understand why this mission is between those two," Komi said as he retracted his gaze from Yamda to the corpses.
He was disgusted but such a scene was almost daily for him. In fact, it would be strange if no one died in the city for a month!
So his reaction was quite normal due to being accustomed to it.
As his mind was about to wander, a female voice around her twenty sounded from the other side of the phone.
"It's in the middle of the night, speak or I'll send you a curse." Her voice appeared to be irritated.
"Sorry to trouble you, Jyun-sama. There's a mission and requires your assistance." Komi a bit flustered
"Mission? Tell that foreign wanna be to not take a mission in the middle of the night!" She yelled and end the phone.
Komi let out an awkward laugh, it's not like we want to be a night owl ourselves, he silently said to himself.
"She's in the way," Komi informed his captain. The former slightly nodded.
"Why does the grandmaster directly assign us this mission? There are many squads like us."
"Who knows, perhaps he sees us as a hindrance and wants to get rid of us."
Your sudden, negative thoughts sometimes scare me, Komi said to himself.
Yamda realized his bad habit and cleared his throat.
"Many squads are worn out after clearing Anomalies all around the city. Furthermore, there was a rank eight Anomaly on the outskirts of the city, many squads banded together and although that was the case, many suffered loss."
"Did they defeat it?"
"We would get a red code if they didn't. Do you know the urban legend of the city?" He asked as he sucked the cigarette and emitted white smoke.
"Yes." Komi nodded.
"An eagle and a fox with six tails finished the job with a few strikes," he said casually.
Komi wasn't sure how to react. He was the type that was not easily surprised.
"How many people died?"
"More than ten people." Yamda quickly replied.
That many casualties were beyond Komi's expectations. He genuinely thought more than a hundred died as the opponent was a rank eight Anomaly! Such an entity could turn mountains to oblivion within a few seconds!
"Is it because of those two creatures who helped them?"
"That much is obvious."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
