"I swear that is the most powerful Transcendent I have ever seen... No, it's not just powerful, it's completely illogical."
Wei Chuan said to Tang Wen, who had just arrived at the camp, pointing to the pile of Cunning Beast remains being operated on nearby.
"I personally fought against that Cunning Beast over there. Although it hasn't been officially assessed, I bet its containnt danger level is definitely at level three."
"Level three." Tang Wen raised an eyebrow. "That's quite high."
The assessnt of the containnt danger level corresponds to the level of the Transcendent who can handle the object. The sequence of Transcendents generally ranges from D to A, corresponding to the danger sequence of the containnt object from one to four.
In fact, there is also a sequence S, but historically, there have been very few Transcendents with that rating. It's extrely rare and almost never ntioned.
A level three containnt object corresponds to a Transcendent of sequence B. This is already a high-level powerful individual, and the appearance of any containnt object of this level is a very serious situation.
"Yes, the firepower from the camp was like scraping on its body. Even my full force attack had no significant effect," Wei Chuan took a deep breath. "And then, it was instantly defeated right in front of . Just one punch, a normal punch, it even looked like it didn't use much strength."
"And then cos the main point. Rember the Transcendent who can manipulate shadows that I ntioned before? Damn it, he directly pulled him out, just like from a fake shadow."
"I know it sounds a bit fantastical, but everyone at the camp can testify..."
Tang Wen fell silent.
Apparently, it was that Transcendent of sequence A. It was acceptable to defeat a level three Cunning Beast with one punch, but manipulating shadows to capture people was a bit excessive. It not only disrespected the abilities of other Transcendents, but also seed to disregard the basic laws of being a Transcendent.
It seed like this Transcendent was dedicated to raising the level of absurdity every ti he appeared. Tang Wen suddenly had a strange premonition that this was just the beginning.
As they were shocked by this Transcendent, one eting after another was held, but they didn't realize that this was just a warm-up. In the future, the level of absurdity would continue to rise exponentially, and they might eventually beco numb to it...
Just thinking about it sent shivers down their spines.
At this mont, soone approached Tang Wen. "Sir, Mr. Lou has arrived."
"Damn it," Tang Wen frowned and muttered.
Li Xiao'an, who was beside him, showed a respectful expression. "Mr. Lou, our minister? The one with sequence A..."
"Yes, but you'd better have as little contact with him as possible. Because..." Tang Wen glanced at him. "...never mind, you'll understand in the future."
A stretched luxury car stopped outside the blockade. An old man in a gray suit got out of the car, with a high nose, straight suit, and a friendly and warm smile on his face. He didn't look like the head of a top-secret organization, but rather reminded people of Colonel Sanders from KFC.
"Xiao Tang!" He walked through the blockade and ca over with open arms, exaggeratingly. "Missed , huh?"
When Tang Wen turned around, his expression of disgust had turned into a pleasant surprise of reuniting with an old friend. "Mr. Lou! It's been so long."
While exchanging pleasantries with his leader, Tang Wen couldn't help but hope that his leader would be more lenient and understanding.
Mr. Lou didn't mind. He asked with interest, "What's the situation?"
"There's a Transcendent who has recently appeared, extrely powerful, almost doing all the work here, making our most professional personnel look like ridiculous monkeys." Tang Wen reported helplessly.
"Uh, sorry to interrupt, sir," Li Xiao'an couldn't help but speak up, "but monkeys can't fly. They can only swing on vines, just like Tarzan. So strictly speaking, they should be swing monkeys..."
Tang Wen looked at him expressionlessly.
"...Sorry, sir, I'll shut up now." Li Xiao'an shrunk back.
Mr. Lou didn't mind. He asked with interest, "So powerful? Is there an assessnt of the sequence?"
"The researchers believe it's at least sequence A, possibly higher," Tang Wen said.
"Ha! That's impressive." Mr. Lou rubbed his hands excitedly. "We should recruit him as soon as possible, bring him to our departnt. That way, we can secure our position, and in the next council eting, let's see who dares to oppose us..."
He seed to realize sothing halfway through and suddenly changed his tone. "...Oh, of course, it's mainly for the sake of social order and the people's peace. After all, it's our responsibility to do what needs to be done..."
Tang Wen coughed. "The problem now is that we can't confirm his identity. The camp's surveillance captured him, but his face in the footage is a blurry vortex. Everyone who witnessed him can't rember his appearance, only vaguely rembering that he seed very handso... but that's obviously not enough to find him."
"We can't just rush into the film and television center and interrogate all the handso actors, right?"
"Yeah, that wouldn't be appropriate." Mr. Lou nodded in agreent, then suddenly tilted his head. "Wait, can we still do that?"
Tang Wen: "..."
Commissioner Fang rushed over in a hurry.
"Sir, where is the containnt object?"
"It's missing, we're searching for it." Tang Wen said, "Did you find sothing?"
"No, the readings are safe, it should be a containnt object of a low sequence based on the data. But I detected so specific readings from it, which I had only seen on another specific containnt object before."
"Which one?"
"Containnt object C-371." Professor Fang said in a deep voice, "It was discovered three years ago on the western border. There was a loss of control during the process of two teams fighting over it. Afterwards, everything within a two-kiloter radius evaporated into a white ground."
...
...
"That does sound dangerous."
Jiang Bei squinted his eyes, feeling like a severely nearsighted person trying hard to make the image in front of him clearer.
He was currently sitting in his own apartnt, but at the sa ti, he was watching the conversation of these people in the camp, more than twenty kiloters away, in real ti.
Xiao Qi casually ntioned that she could temporarily share her vision with Jiang Bei, allowing him to experience what the world looked like through her eyes. So Jiang Bei closed and opened his eyes, and the screen in front of him began to broadcast in real ti.
"...Speaking of these twenty kiloters, can you even see the pimples on their faces clearly?" Jiang Bei found it more and more unbelievable. "How far can you actually see?"
However, he didn't receive a response. Jiang Bei leaned into the living room and saw Xiao Qi eating snacks while staring at the TV intently. There was a bottle of soda on the table. The TV displayed a big title that read "The Love Battle of Geniuses."
Jiang Bei: (ーー゛)
Wow, she even learned to watch ani. Is she determined to beco a super otaku?
Jiang Bei now fully realized that there might be an organization secretly monitoring and covering up supernatural events, and there might be many Transcendents among them. They ntioned sothing about sequence B and sequence A, which made him feel a bit uneasy.
So he interrupted the girl who was watching ani and said, "What does Transcendent sequence an? Is sequence A very strong?"
"Ah? Oh, it's alright. It should be strong enough in your present world. But in reality, even sequence S is just like that. Your so-called 'Transcendent sequence' is limited to the category of Transcendents."
"Are there even stronger ones?" Jiang Bei asked.
"Of course. Like Great Sages, Transcenders..."
She suddenly exclaid, "Ah!" and startled Jiang Bei.
"They didn't even go to A! Idiot!"
Jiang Bei was stunned for a while, then followed her gaze to the TV, only to realize that she was anxiously watching the complicated love story of the main characters in the ani.
Jiang Bei: "..."
In any case, this made him more cautious. He now knew that there was a group of people specifically studying the supernatural. It sounded like they were looking for him and might have ulterior motives. But unless he had no other choice, Jiang Bei still believed that it was best to keep a low profile.
Aside from the fact that the details of the organization were unknown and couldn't be easily trusted, his own situation was only that of a half-hearted person who could only act for a few minutes. He definitely wouldn't rashly go out and beco a target.
He had to find a balance between being high-profile to gain experience and low-profile to stay safe.
"Oh, by the way, you might want to go to the bathroom and take a look." Xiao Qi suddenly said, "You should be ntally prepared before opening the door."
"What did you do to my bathroom?" Jiang Bei asked imdiately.
In his mind, scenes of a collapsing sink and a toilet being blown up flashed, along with the landlady's angry roar.
When he pushed open the bathroom door, he realized that Xiao Qi was right.
He really wasn't ntally prepared for what appeared behind the door.
He had no idea what Xiao Qi had done to his bathroom.
