Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 501 The Purpose of the Clock Tower
Xia Shou began to read the English next to it, only to find that it was not a translation of the text, but a newly added content, which read:

[He was right. I saw it. Also, the monsters here are very powerful. I met two people wearing black and white clothes and tall hats. I think I might have killed the one in white clothes... but I don't think I can hold on for much longer.

The monsters here will absorb the abnormalities from the extraordinary people. I was originally a level five extraordinary person, but now I am level one. Perhaps soon I will become the body parts of a group of people.

I can only put this shield here. If there are people coming later, please put it at the initial entrance.

In addition, the only way I can think of to stop all this is to go to the human world, find the human body of this underworld in the past, and stop him from connecting this place with the human world...either by killing him or sealing him up. 】

Then there is another paragraph with different inscriptions, which may have been written by a third person.

[Dorian Gray has been here too! I found his notes. I put the shield here. I'll hide it here for safekeeping. We have a way to stop this hell!

I understand everything. If you are willing to stop this even if it means going to hell, then I will tell you the truth!
Keep walking, and you will see the red moon in the sky. Walk in the direction of the moon, and you will definitely find me! 】

"Hey, is there anyone who can understand Russian?" the group of people behind Xia Shouchong shouted.

A timekeeper stood up, stared at the shield for a while, and translated: "It says... it says 'I felt the remaining power of the beast cage in that hell, and those stitched corpses undoubtedly benefited from the authority of the tailor, so I think this hell place is the remnant of the beast cage's past glory... Maybe the shears of division will be useful'.

That's what he said. "

"It seems that many people have been here." Xia Shou said thoughtfully.

No. 102 added: "This shield style was discontinued ten years ago."

"Does the Control Bureau have records of the underworld?" Gu Liang asked curiously.

Shen Fei: "I have seen the data and documents integration, but it is just documents. There are no related cases of abnormal phenomena. However...it may be that I don't have enough authority to see this kind of files."

Su Yue pondered for a while, and reminded softly: "Brother Xia Shou, is this shield also a forbidden item? Why is it placed in such an obvious place?"

Xia Shou nodded.

This is indeed suspicious.

Such a shield, which looks plain and seems to have nothing special about it, is actually placed in such a conspicuous place next to the Naihe Bridge. It is okay that the ghosts and generals in the underworld cannot understand the words, but leaving this thing here is too careless.

Could it be a trap?

Xia Shou glanced at Pedros, and it was obvious that the other party was thinking about the same question.

"Where are you going now?" Xia Shou turned his head slightly and looked at Pedros.

Seeing that Pedros didn't answer, No. 102 sneered and said to Pedros sarcastically: "If you don't meet us, you won't be able to move a step? You must have somewhere to go, right?"

Pedros sighed and took out a black jade stone hanging by a string from his arms.

"Sir!" Tracy's face suddenly changed.

"Tracy, it's okay, they are right, we have our own way to go," said Pedros.

The black jade hanging in the air seemed to have some double images, which overlapped and extended in one direction, becoming fainter and fainter as the distance got farther.

"This stone is what guides us, like a compass." Pedros said sincerely, "The Control Bureau has always been clear about what the clock tower does. We are committed to building ladders between time and trying to make the shuttle between the past and the present orderly.

You have no objection to this practice. Building a ladder is a neutral behavior in itself. Using the ladder to do good or evil is the user's own choice. Our Clock Tower is just a research organization and an exploration organization.

This time is also the same. This lost time is the key node leading to the other end of time. We want to build a ladder between them. Our purpose is that simple."

"Let's go with you so we can take care of each other," Xia Shou said.

Whether Pedros's words are true or false is not the point for now. After [Self-Destruction] cools down, we can use the No. 58 polygraph test to find out the truth.

But even without a polygraph test, Xia Shou understood that Pedros was most likely fooling him.

After all, when asked about his mission before, he said seriously that he had nothing to say, but after going back to the game, he stated his purpose so generously, which was obviously not true.

Moreover, the expression of the woman next to Pedros was so easy to read. When he took out the stone, the woman looked shocked and seemed to want to stop Pedros from telling the truth.

But when Pedros started talking, she suddenly calmed down.

However, although these people are not trustworthy, they will cooperate and help each other for the time being and should not be backstabbed.

At least before and after the battle with Hei Wuchang, none of them had any fatalities.

This means that unless a conflict of interest suddenly arises, there is no reason for the Clock Tower to be hostile to them.

Of course, this is just one of the reasons why Xia Shou chose to continue traveling with the other party.

Another reason is the black stone in Pedros's hand.

The material of the stone looked very familiar to Xia Shou.

It looks very much like obsidian, but from the broken surface it can be clearly seen that it is not the hard, brittle and easily cracked material like obsidian. Its gloss and roundness are very similar to that of the black jade door.

He had to find a way to find out the origin of the stone from Pedros.

"We were actually doing other tasks, collecting documents and stone tablets, but we came across the funeral home and somehow ended up here." Xia Shou said, "You guys came across the funeral home too, right?"

"Well, I don't know what they are doing here, and they seem to know this place very well." Pedros frowned.

"I see you guys have come to the gates of hell for no apparent reason. Wasn't this your original destination?"

"It's here, but we didn't know it was here. After being sent here by the funeral home, we realized that we were supposed to come here in the first place. So you can actually say that they helped us."

Xia Shou and Pedros walked side by side in the front, chatting casually, and the relationship between the two seemed to have suddenly improved.

The people from both teams also gradually began to get acquainted with each other. Except for No. 102 who refused to integrate into the group, everyone else started chatting and exchanging their views and opinions on the current situation of the underworld.

As for some members with low IQs, they were very curious about the reason why Su Yue joined the Control Bureau. However, Su Yue was not as gentle and polite as usual. Instead, he was often distracted, as if thinking about other things.
