But what he didn't expect was that he couldn't find a store that was open!

It was just past nine o'clock in Zhanlin City, but it was even quieter than expected.

Not only were the streets empty, there wasn't a single vehicle on the road. All that was left were countless ripples from the heavy rain on the puddle on the road.

The signs on both sides of the street were all darkened...

It was as if the entire city had been transformed into a different world isolated from the ordinary world in just one hour after the weather report appeared.

"I've already sent that message to the system. If I really can't find a store to enter... that would be a bit clownish."

Chu Yan looked up at the overcast sky, took a rest on the humid stone chair in the pavilion, sighed and said.

He walked back and forth on the nearby streets several times, but didn't come across a single open store.

Even on typhoon days and holidays, workers in some convenience stores cannot go off work, implementing the awe-inspiring 996 spirit.

At most, you can get a tiny subsidy and that’s it.

Why did he know this so clearly? Because he had received overtime compensation for holidays more than once in the past three years.

Alas, capital.

That’s why Chu Yan thought that it shouldn’t be possible that he couldn’t even find a store.

But what he didn't expect was that... today he walked to a street that he was not familiar with, but there was really no store still open.

This made Chu Yan fall into deep thought...

——Is he the only one in the world who was so focused on cooking that he didn’t notice the coming typhoon?

Chu Yan turned on his cell phone.

All the stores searched on the map showed "closed".

After a long silence, he sighed exhaustedly and said, "Forget it, if it really doesn't work..."

"I might as well just go home and sleep."

On a rainy night after a breakup, I had to wander around the city in a daze, like a homeless loser.

This is too torturous...

Just as Chu Yan was thinking this in his heart.

"Huh? What is that?"

Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a faint blue light flashing at the corner of the street not far away.

Chu Yan narrowed his eyes and looked through the rainy night with extremely low visibility.

He could vaguely see...it seemed to be a sign.

The light blue neon lights flickered with cheap light, flickering unsteadily, and seemed to be only one step away from death.

It looks like a light bulb from the last century, bent into the words "blue love" with a cocktail pattern underneath.

now.....

In the middle of the night when it was raining heavily, this was the only store on the street that was lit.

——It's like the charming fragrance emitted by carnivorous plants in the jungle, tempting the lost to fall into the trap.

"Blue love, that's... a hotel?"

Chu Yan muttered uncertainly.

This was the first store he saw tonight with its sign still lit.

I looked down at my phone and typed the words "blue love" on the satellite map. As expected, nothing came up.

Such an old sign is out of tune with the overall streetscape planning.

It wouldn't be strange even if it was an antique shop from fifty or sixty years ago.

"Forget it. Since we finally found it, it's worth going in and taking a look at what's going on before leaving."

Chu Yan shrugged, without thinking too much, and walked towards the tavern.

No matter how bad the situation is, it is at most a shady shop that rips off customers.

He just refused to click.

This is a modern civilized city...

What other outrageous situations could possibly occur?

=====

"This is the last street, right?... All residents should have been evacuated."

He carefully wrapped the old-looking radio in his hand with special sound-proofing cloth.

As a D-class anomaly controller of the "Company", Wei Yucheng wiped the rain that soaked his hair and blocked his vision with his hands.

He took a few breaths, panting.

Looking towards the outside of the city, I recalled the earth-shaking battle scene I witnessed not long ago.

Shaking his head, Wei Yucheng said with a wry smile:

"In the face of a battle of that level..."

"The only thing I can do is to send all the wandering residents back home, which is like doing something like a logistics staff, right?"

Detailed information about the enemy appeared, but with Wei Yucheng's level, he was unable to access the relevant files.

However, when they were sent as a delaying force to prevent the abnormality from breaking through the [Suburban Defense Line]'s logistics.

Each of them was given a rough account of the entity's hazards.

[Abnormal entity threat index - strong "disaster" level. ]

(Judgment criteria: the ability to break through the normality curtain and create abnormal effects with tens of thousands of casualties.)

(Without knowing the relevant containment rules, only B-level or higher Abnormal Controllers are qualified to assist in the battle; one or two S-level Abnormal Controllers are required to defeat it head-on and contain it.)

Until now.

Wei Yucheng still finds it difficult to erase from his memory the fear he felt when he saw that "abnormal entity" before.

It was a fear that was etched into the body.

Just like humans are afraid of heights, fire, enclosed spaces, and sharp objects...

Over thousands or tens of thousands of years of evolution.

Only after experiencing countless, astronomical deaths.

This fear of natural enemies is deeply imprinted in their survival genes, and is passed down with blood as a constant warning to future generations.

"The moment you see them, don't even think about fighting... before they find you, run! Run!!"

That moment.

It was as if thousands of warnings roared out from within the subconscious.

If he hadn't been injected with cognitive enhancement drugs, Wei Yucheng probably wouldn't even be able to do the logistics. His legs went weak when he heard the voice and he couldn't stand up.

As for the entity that appeared - he was unable to describe its appearance in words.

The mere "knowledge" of describing its appearance carries the risk of causing distortion and infection.

Wei Yucheng probably has an impression now...

Only it was a non-solid entity that was more than ten stories tall, had a black appearance, and seemed to be wearing a spotted umbrella-like exoskeleton and was constantly twisting.

Its appearance is simply unmemorable.

Because that is not the style that can appear in reality...

It's just like the illustrations in a fairy tale picture book.

On its huge head that was not in proportion to its biological structure, there was a pair of huge eyes that took up one-third of its face and were wet with tears.

From the moment it appeared, it kept emitting a wail that made people feel extremely uncomfortable from the bottom of their hearts.

Shedding endless "tears" towards the sky.

Now, the typhoon and rainstorm covering Zhanlin City...

——These are the tears of the abnormal entity, which are normal matter after being "protected and distorted" by the normality curtain.

If it weren't for the existence of the normalcy veil.

Just standing in this rainstorm will force the person's mood to continue to slide to the bottom, and nightmarish visions will appear before their eyes.

In the end, it was the same as that witch.

It makes people cry like crazy and suffer a complete mental breakdown.

"It was so scary... that guy was just wailing for death. The moment I saw it, I felt so heartbroken that I wanted to die..."

Wei Yucheng murmured with a wry smile.

"Even if it's the Series 2 anomaly that everyone in the branch is talking about."

"I'm afraid there are only a few cases that can create entities of that level?"

Afterwards, a few gleams of light flashed in his eyes again, as if he was a crazy fan seeing his idol and felt extreme admiration.

He smiled, suppressed his excitement and said:

"Then, even within the company, I've heard about it..."

"But I never thought that one day I would be able to witness the battle of that 'magical girl' with my own eyes!"

Even though he is already 27 years old this year, Wei Yucheng still has the long-lost excitement and passion he had as a teenager.

"Five meteors fired at the creature immediately forced it to retreat, leaving cracks on its body. It's too powerful!"

Wei Yucheng said with emotion: "Fuck, I feel like I have died without regrets."

A figure that shines like stars in the darkness, long hair as light pink as blooming cherry blossoms, waving a jeweled wand, an S-class anomaly master who goes to fight anomalies—

【Magical Girl Colorful Star】!

.....

Regarding the identity of the girl, her real name, the files of the anomalous items she holds, etc. are not disclosed.

Those victorious achievements and the code names of their extraordinary masters.

It was not concealed within the company.

There are two considerations for doing this.

One:

Basically, any abnormal controller who is strong enough has an inseparable connection with the abnormal project he holds.

For example, the places you walk through will turn into yellow sand, the time periods around you will keep repeating, and a cloud of electric shock will float in the sky from time to time...

That is to say.

Many people could easily be treated as dangerous anomalous objects simply by their existence.

If your identity, abilities, and certain traits are not announced to the outside world.

It is very likely that you will be carrying out special missions in borderless areas such as the [Suburbs] and [Anomaly Areas].

They were encountered by people from other containment institutions, and then treated as hostile anomalies and fought against.

——This will trigger an even more serious chain of events.

oh.....

To be exact, it has already happened.

That is why this regulation was solemnly added to the [International Curtain Regulations].

The International Abnormal Committee's attitude at the time was very serious. The details were as follows...

"Wuwuwu, please stop hiding, gods, and release the information about your high-end combat power. If that doesn't work, you can just make a combat power ranking list for you to compete with, okay?"

"Human civilization's precious combat power resources really can't withstand your secretive internal consumption like this!"
