Is it really normal to contain these anomalies?

After all, as a Level 4 employee, her hearing allowed her to actually hear his conversation with Moses outside...

"That's what is said to outsiders who are not involved in this matter."

"Given your current situation of being hunted by the Index Finger, you're all waiting to die anyway, so you might as well finish reading this stuff."

"..."

Is this the explanation?

Aika stopped talking, scratched her cheek with her fingers, and soon picked up the photos like Komini and the others.

But it doesn’t matter if you don’t watch it…

When the scene in the photo actually entered their pupils, they still felt extremely cold all over their bodies.

Even if... these are just some photos.

"Large-scale geological collapses have occurred in areas 468 to 897 in the southern part of W Nest."

"W Company has used a spatial singularity to block these areas. Not only can't the newspaper office, but even Level 2 and lower finishers can't leave... I don't know where you got these photos from."

Around them, the uncle's voice seemed to be directed at Moses and the others.

Keaijia didn't want to listen to any of this anymore. She just flipped through the photos in her hands like a madman, gazing at the world that was taken in an unknown village.

There, most of the scenery is composed of two- or three-story villas made of red bricks with wooden roofs. The roadside even seems to have been specially planted with green plants - it looks like a place chosen by some wealthy people to have a peaceful vacation and enjoy the natural scenery.

But all these warm tones were destroyed by the sudden disharmony.

Purple soil emerged from the ground at some point, slowly spreading along the green roadside...

Flowers and green leaves disappeared, and thorns and disgusting slime climbed up the high walls of the villa...

The residents who occasionally appeared in the photos seemed listless, but the purple miasma only infected half of the sky in the distance and did not cause any physical deformities...

"Aika? What happened to you guys?"

The picture was examined carefully over and over in their hands.

But the uncle from the Second Association seemed a little impatient, and he and Moses both turned their eyes to them.

"Do you know the origin of these lands?"

He just mentioned it casually, but unexpectedly, Aika and Komini raised their heads from their trance at the same time.

"Maybe."

They gave their answers, but the uncle remained silent.

"..."

"Are you serious?"

He really didn't expect to get any information from these office workers who stayed in the W-0001 branch of L Company every day.

"Um……"

Keaijia and the others just glanced at the photo again.

They had never seen the purple land.

But they did feel the familiarity and disgust when seeing these photos.

Right there...

A place called the Crimson Lands.

……

Lobotomy Corporation W-0001 Branch, Control Department.

【Work started, work panel opened】

[Staff: Bai Yu. Target: Abnormality G-01-05. PE-BOX Energy Collected: 7/12]

"You've been here a long time."

"Why not take a risk?"

In this oak house that exudes a fresh fragrance, the guide sat at the wooden table as usual, staring blankly out the window.

He seemed to be enjoying the birdsong and flowers in the outside world, but he seemed to have a lot on his mind.

reason?

Perhaps it was because of him, a Level 5 employee of Lobotomy Corporation who was brewing tea...

"Sorry, guide."

Bai Yu sighed silently and also looked out the window, but had nothing to say.

"You know, the Foundation is coming."

"Contrary to what you think, their attitude is not that dangerous..."

"There won't be any manure pit explosions in the city during this period. Many things can be prepared and handled..."

Thinking back on these days.

All Bai Yu did was deliver a few new books about the city to the guide, and occasionally go back to practice his eyesight and brain.

The adventure stalled.

"So, isn't risking everything an incomprehensible choice?"

Bai Yu asked the guide calmly.

They all knew that after defeating Roshan.

The ancient souls of light and darkness will be released, and the difficulty of the entire world will increase sharply. Not only will blood and corruption begin to spread rapidly, but the newly emerged holy land will also not be friendly to them at all.

At that time, the world was filled with jungle turtles that would take away 160 HP with a single hit and could basically kill a lobe-level employee instantly.

Yeah... the risk is too great.

The income and investment are not worth it.

Even a 4000-hour Terraria expert cannot guarantee that he will not die once when he has reality correction.

278

Chapter 278 Being Watched.

therefore……

Let's stop first.

Bai Yu and the guide continued to just watch the birds flying outside, as well as the businessmen, nurses, and mechanics happily negotiating outside...

Terraria seems to be very peaceful like this.

Even without taking any more risks, the world seems worth staying like this, stuck in the present moment forever.

"So... you're abandoning us?"

But suddenly, the guide turned his head without warning, and Bai Yu could clearly see disappointment and other dangerous emotions in his eyes.

"That's an exaggerated word."

Bai Yu defended himself softly.

If he could defeat bosses like Roshan, Plantera, and Moon in the blink of an eye, just like using a modifier.

Well, for the sake of peace in the Terraria world, he would certainly be happy to do so.

But it’s never easy…

"But do you think stagnation is good?"

The omniscient guide seemed to see what Bai Yu was thinking.

But Bai Yu did not deny this.

Perhaps he often needed to leave this oak house to check on the spread of the sea, but in comparison, his focus was indeed on the world called the city...

"But you don't know why we exist."

As if he had witnessed the silence of the only adventurer in the world, the guide's mood quickly sank.

"You also don't understand why you and these worlds exist."

"Do you remember? Bai Yu, I once told you that if you stay in this damn place like the city, you'll die..."

"..."

There was another long silence.

Bai Yu looked into the guide's eyes and slowly put down the teacup in his hand.

"I know."

"Really? So, you understand your mission to advance the world's progress?"

As he had done many times before, the guide quietly offered his suggestions, but his attitude didn't seem like a request.

"That doesn't sound like something a good guide serving the players would say."

"is it?"

At this moment, the topic has not yet ended, but everything seems to confirm Bai Yu's bad premonition.

A self-deprecating smile appeared on the guide's face.

The feeling he gave Bai Yu was not much better than the first time the guide killed him...

"No need to be surprised, Bai Yu."

"After all, we who came to this world...are abnormal."

……

【Work Completed…】

Bai Yu turned off the system panel that appeared in front of him and left the guide's containment unit.

He didn't say anything after that, and didn't even contact the central control room of the Procedure and Control Department. He just turned around and took the elevator downstairs...

This quickly brought him to the entrance of another holding room in the training department.

Standing here, he looked at everything inside through a single piece of glass - the Abnormality that had been sent to him on the first day he left the headquarters of Lobotomy Corporation, and that originated from his own.

"Hello, ▉▉▉-CN-5981-?"

'Hmm...are we all abnormal?'

"The guide's explanation is quite similar to your management instructions..."

Bai Yu had to admit that what the guide said had some impact on him.

Perhaps in the past, he would have thought that the guide was talking about himself and the other 34 guides, but now, looking at the abnormal creature in front of him, Bai Yu had to associate it with himself.

Just like the cloud inside was still changing - Bai Yu couldn't see himself clearly.

Is he abnormal?

Is he the abnormal one?

If he wasn't human, then what was he...

Bai Yu was still thinking.

But like so many times over the past week, he still couldn't get an answer for a while.

Unfortunately, this time, there seemed to be other visitors behind him...

"Bai Yu?"

Someone called out to him from behind.

"..."

Bai Yu finally turned around from his brief trance and saw the white-haired lady with a cold expression on her face.

"Hello, Miss Faust."

"Um,"
