Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 67 Arrival at Ettingburg

The archive begins by saying that there is indeed a sanatorium in the United States. The layout and settings of the sanatorium are exactly the same as what Wang Long and Xia Shou saw in the field, and most of the people receiving services in this sanatorium are indeed American officials.

At that time, the U.S. Control Bureau had long noticed the physical abnormalities of the top wealthy people and officials. They found that many politicians and wealthy people with hidden illnesses became very healthy after entering this sanatorium.

So the control bureau investigated the sanatorium, but found that apart from its strange layout, there seemed to be nothing unusual about it.

But abnormalities undoubtedly occurred in those patients, so the control bureau concluded that they just hadn't found the pattern yet. In the end, they chose not to block the sanatorium and set the strategy of long-term observation.

But until the end, until the nursing home closed, nothing unusual happened.

If they had not arrested the followers of the Blood Mother Cult this time, they would probably never have known that there was also an original site of a sanatorium in Ettingburg.

The sanatorium in Aidinburg is called a holy site by the followers of the Blood Mother Cult. It is said that like the headquarters of the Blood Mother Cult, one needs to go through some special channels to enter.

Xia Shou took the information and wanted to discuss it with Su Weiyu, but when he saw Su Weiyu's uneasy look, he gave up the idea and started to sort out the clues himself.

The sanatorium should have been located in the United States at the beginning. This was revealed in the director's diary, and he should not have lied.

After all, the diaries of these madmen are mostly written to vent their inner desire to talk. If what is written in the diary is not true, it does not count as a confession.

Then why do the current ruins of the sanatorium appear in Ettingburg?

The Blood Mother Cult now regards Etinburg as a holy relic, so the sanatorium in Etinburg must be the real thing. Therefore, it is very likely that the sanatorium was originally in the United States and later moved to Etinburg.

"Was it that person's help?"

Xia Shou remembered that the diary mentioned that there was a person who helped the dean, helped him delay the investigation of the Control Bureau, and pointed out the way for him to transform the sanatorium into a closed area.

As he was thinking, Xia Shou became more and more tired, and the fatigue from staying up all night last night immediately came up.

He leaned back in his chair and decided to take a short nap.

He closed his eyes, his consciousness was hazy, and in a trance, he heard a childish female voice.

"Put your stuff down and get away from me!"

The low temperature brought a damp chill that penetrated into his skin through the collar of his neck, and he could hear the rhythmic sound of raindrops.

Icicles kept falling from the eaves into ice flakes, and melted snow water continued to drip from the edge of the iron roof. It seemed that winter was about to end, but spring had not yet arrived.

It was a narrow alley, dirty and cramped, with piles of cans and rotting garbage stacked on both sides.

Even homeless people wouldn't live in such a place. Only injured stray dogs would choose this place as their final resting place.

Xia Shou was sure that he had never been to this place in real life, but he was not sure if he had never seen it in movies. Perhaps it was his subconscious that temporarily pieced together some fragments of impressions to construct this dark and dilapidated alley.

He felt like it was a dream, but it didn't feel like a dream.

He felt as if he was thinking, but not clear-headed enough, in a state between being awake and not awake.

"Did you hear that?"

The voice reminded him again that there was someone standing in front of him.

The short and thin girl was holding a half-rusted utility knife, wearing an ill-fitting adult T-shirt that was torn and dirty, and she still smelled sour from not having taken a shower in a long time. Her short dark red hair was stuck together by solidified dirt, and was tangled. The ten-centimeter-long wound on her arm was worsening and festering.

She stared at him with the ferocious eyes of a wolf cub, her expression full of vigilance and hostility, making people feel that in the next second, she would pounce on him and hit him with the rusty utility knife without hesitation.

"Put it down!" she screamed hoarsely.

Xia Shou felt himself putting a bag of things on the ground.

Then he heard himself speak in a voice that was not his own.

"Do you know how to use it? You can't bandage it first. You have to disinfect it with alcohol first, and then remove the rotten part. Only then can it heal." "I don't need you to teach me. Don't follow me in the future, otherwise I will kill you!" the girl said viciously.

She carefully picked up the plastic bag on the ground, turned around, jumped, and with incredible agility, she climbed onto the iron roof and disappeared from sight.

Xia Shou heard the man in his dream let out an unidentified sigh, then took out a pocket watch.

The button was pressed, the watch cover popped open, and time began to pass. This pocket watch looked very familiar to Xia Shou.

Then, Xia Shou was suddenly pushed by someone, and the scene in front of his eyes suddenly blurred. A cold and polite reminder to get off the plane came from above his head.

"Ladies and gentlemen: The plane has landed at Edinburgh Airport. The plane has come to a complete stop. Please get off the plane from the rear gate. Thank you!"

Xia Shou opened his eyes and saw Bai He standing next to him: "You slept so soundly, it seems that you must have missed the online class."

After saying that, Bai He patted Xia Shou's shoulder again and said, "Let's go. The people who are waiting for us should be here."

……

……

The black sedan stopped at the roadside at the airport exit. Reed squatted beside the door, silently waiting for the person he was going to pick up to show up.

His minister asked him to pick up two people from China. It was said that although the two people came together, they were to carry out two completely unrelated tasks.

One person was only on a primary mission, seemingly to investigate a cult.

The other person came to assist them in arresting An Gang Xiongwu.

Before setting off, Reed's boss said to him: "That man is An Gang Xiongwu's old rival. It was he who arrested An Gang Xiongwu alone. With his help this time, we will definitely succeed."

To be honest, it was hard for Reed to imagine what kind of person could arrest An Gangxiongwu.

Although An Gang Xiongwu is only a level 2 transcendent, due to the special nature of his abilities, even a level 3 finisher cannot deal with him.

Because the abnormality level determines the priority of the effectiveness of the supernatural power and is not directly linked to strength.

Although the third-level finishers are powerful, most of them are like glass cannons. Although they have strong lethality, their own defense is not outstanding.

If you meet a freak like An Gang Xiongwu who possesses multiple superpowers at the same time, you will not be able to get any advantage at all.

As for ordinary second-level extraordinary people... huh, they are just fish on the chopping board.

In front of An Gangxiongwu, a level 2 transcendent would be killed instantly.

Reed exhaled a long puff of smoke, his thick brows furrowed in depression. He remembered the scene half a month ago when he and his partner Delin met An Gangxiongwu while on night patrol.

It was raining heavily that night and the air was very humid. They had just finished their night patrol and were holding umbrellas, preparing to go to the nearest cafe to have a drink to warm themselves up and discuss Delin's marriage issue.

At that time, De Lin had successfully proposed to his fiancée, and the couple was undecided about the type of wedding. De Lin's fiancée was a fan of China and was keen on studying the mysterious metaphysical knowledge of that ancient oriental country, so she wanted to try a Chinese wedding.

They sat in the cafe for half an hour, during which Delin was very happy.

But when they walked out of the cafe and prepared to return to the Control Bureau to make the final work handover, Reed suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.

His ability, "Fear Perception", is one of the few abilities that is not affected by abnormality level.

Because fear perception is an ability that reacts only when influenced by others, the lower the abnormality level, the better, just like the lowest value of a thermometer cannot be too high, otherwise it will not be able to measure.

The moment he walked out of the cafe, the temperature on Reed's "superpower thermometer" soared to a level that even frightened him.
