Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 276: Rib Cutting Old Man
"We can kill him. It shouldn't attract the elder blood relatives. He is obviously not a new member of the family." Lin Rizhe said.

Kurid stepped forward and nodded to Xia Shou: "You are our deputy supervisor, right?"

"No, he is the first person in charge of this mission, and I am his deputy." Lin Rizhe corrected.

Kurid's eyes widened slightly, and he looked at the strange young man in surprise.

Geniuses like Lin Rize are usually the main persons in charge of the mission. The fact that Lin Rize can be asked to assist as an assistant proves that the overall strength of the person in front of him is better than Lin Rize, and also proves that this mission is very dangerous.

Several other special employees were also secretly guessing Xia Shou's level in their hearts.

Lin Rize is almost at level 4, so the chief supervisor must be at least a level 4 finisher!

The requirement for promotion to a fourth-level finisher is that one can defend against attacks from conventional thermal weapons, and be able to protect two people when facing thermal weapon suppression, while also releasing the thermal weapon suppression or escaping.

Moreover, his abnormality level must reach level four!
"So there is such a big shot here. What's your name?" Fal came closer with narrowed eyes and a smile.

In most cases, special employees are not allowed to know who the supervisor is before they meet him. This is to prevent special employees from planning defection and preparing tactics to deal with the supervisor before preparing for the mission. Therefore, it is particularly important to hide the supervisor's abilities and information before starting the mission.

"Xia Shou, my current identity is the Jinyiwei pacification envoy. According to my personality, you can call me Mr. Xia." Xia Shou replied.

"The witch's trump card!" Tobeka's eyes lit up and she joked, "Because of you, I lost fifty thousand! It was because of that lighthouse!"

"Mr. Trumpet, I've heard a lot about you." Jack took off his hat and placed it on his chest, bowing slightly. His gentlemanly demeanor seemed to belong to this era.

Kurid looked up and recalled for a moment, then asked in confusion, "I remember that you have not been in the Control Bureau for long, right?"

With this mentioned, everyone realized that something was wrong.

Indeed, as a rising star in the Control Bureau, Xia Shou has a great reputation and is on the rise, but to have a closer of Lin Rize's level as his deputy, he seems to be unqualified.

But this thought only flashed through my mind, and no one asked about it in detail.

There are many possibilities. The Control Bureau must have their considerations and arrangements. Perhaps Xia Shou is really more powerful than they think, as powerful as Lin Rize. Or maybe the main and deputy are just a cover. On the surface, Xia Shou is the one in charge, but in fact, Lin Rize is the one in charge.

Whatever it is, it's none of their business.

"What now?" Currid asked.

"Hmm...Give me some time, let me think about it."

Xia Shou took out the materials that he had read several times from the box and started reviewing them again.

They had two missions on this trip. One was the work arranged by the Control Bureau, which was to set up a ritual array with a delayed effect.

The other was a mission that Siana entrusted him to assist with through her superiors, which required them to cooperate with each other to eliminate a monster that lived in multiple time periods.

The last task was a personal task assigned to him by Shangguan Yan, which was to find the holder of the Death Record Note of this era and retrieve the book containing Liu Yilong from him.

Judging from the level of detail in the mission intelligence, the most detailed and comprehensive one is the book-finding mission assigned to him by Shangguan Yan.

The holder of the Death Pen in this era is Forrant, who is the administrator of the Blood Clan Library, the library established by Grand Duke Rosa, located in the Red Thorn Family.

However, it is still very difficult to get the book containing Liu Yilong from him.

After all, Red Thorn is the relative of Grand Duke Rosa, and there are many counts there. Sneak in as a human being will most likely lead to death.

What's more, this was Shangguan Yan's personal mission, and he had no reason to expect anyone in the team to help him willingly.

Anyway, let's start with the most important task. "To arrange the delayed ceremony, we must release the old man who cuts the ribs. Only the old man who cuts the ribs can take us to our destination, so we have to find a way to deal with the shadow demon first." Xia Shou said, "You should have read it, but let's pass it around one last time."

Xia Shou handed the papers in his hand to others.

【The Rib-Cutting Old Man】

【No.: 25-326】

[Hazard: Temporarily no hazard]

[Abnormal level: ???]

[Containment Risk: No Risk]

[Appearance: A skinny, white-haired old man. The torso from below the chest to above the hips is not covered with skin or flesh, the ribs are exposed, and there is no internal organs. There is no blood in the old man's body.

The lower body of 326 is covered with a piece of stitched animal skin as an apron. It has been confirmed that the stitched animal skin includes feathers of cows, sheep, tigers, lions, bears, crocodiles, and various birds.

326's right hand always holds a pair of golden scissors, and his left hand holds a stone animal oil lamp. 】

【File 1:

According to the investigation, there is a high probability that 326 exists as a guide to the Beast King's Tomb.

326 is suspected to have no self-awareness and is unable to interact in any way.

He has been patrolling the ■■■ area along a fixed route for a long time, and his patrolling behavior is not lethal in any way.

During his tour, he would use golden scissors to cut a small piece of the end of a rib from his body at regular intervals, place it on the spot, and then light it with a stone lamp.

When 326's ribs burn, they will emit a dim range of flames with a diameter of about ten meters.

The area illuminated by the fire will have a different path from reality. According to the stone tablet, if you follow the path opened by 326, you will eventually reach the tomb of the Beast King. 】

The information about the Old Man with the Rib Cut is very detailed, but the accuracy is not 100%. A considerable part of the intelligence is inferred from information provided by other anomalies and literature.

In other words, the Control Bureau has not had in-depth contact with the Rib-Cutting Old Man, and most of the information was obtained indirectly.

Of course, although the information is inferred, it does not mean that it is unreliable.

Just like China's "Records of the Grand Historian", "Zizhi Tongjian", and many other classics, later generations naturally cannot witness what happened in the past with their own eyes, but through the mutual corroboration of various documentary records, the final results are still very useful for reference.

No one has ever seen Qin Shihuang in person, but the Terracotta Warriors and various documentary records prove that Qin Shihuang existed.

Except for astronauts, no one has seen the entire earth with their own eyes, but through geographical knowledge, astronomical theories, and space photos, everyone still knows that the earth is round.

Although this kind of logical judgment may sometimes lead to wrong conclusions, in most cases, the accuracy rate of this judgment is very high.

The situation of Old Man Cutter of Ribs is somewhat similar to this. Although no one from the Control Bureau followed Old Man Cutter of Ribs to the Tomb of the Beast King, some abnormal bodies and past extraordinary people personally recorded their personal experiences of going to the Tomb of the Beast King.

Through cross-comparison, the Control Bureau included the most credible parts into the file of the old man with sheared ribs.

"According to the latest reliable records, Old Man Shearribs has been controlled by the vampires and guarded by the Shadow Fiends during this era." Tobeka read out the last part of the information.

Xia Shou nodded: "Yes, we have to release the old man with the sheared ribs first, and then we can continue this mission."
