Soul-Slaying Maiden: Master Of Ancient Divine Weapons

A few days later, Canghai City, outskirts.

Second-tier Zerg species, Devil-Tailed Snakes, are entrenched here, with a rough estimate of at least more than twenty of them.

This has also been a long-standing major concern of Canghai City.

Originally, no one paid attention to the Devil-Tailed Snake extermination mission, but after the Task Tyrants arrived, it suddenly became lively.

"Today, with so many Guardian squads from Canghai City, we must complete this Devil-Tailed Snake extermination mission."

"That's right."

"Let that Task Tyrants from Deep Blue City see our strength."

"Okay!"

"We can't let them be so arrogant anymore. Isn't it just twenty second-tier Zerg? One squad for one snake."

"No problem!"

"Leave it to me!"

Thirty to fifty people, full of high morale, marched mightily toward the Devil-Tailed Snake stronghold.

When they arrived at the stronghold, they saw Devil-Tailed Snake corpses scattered all over the ground. The valuable parts, like snake skin and gallbladders, had all been taken.

Not even a single live Devil-Tailed Snake was left for them.

As the organizer of this collective action, the captain of the first squad turned green in the face.

He couldn't help but look up to the sky and curse,

"Task Tyrants, you've gone too far!"

"Don't stop me. I'm going to demand an explanation from them today."

At this time, someone grabbed him.

"Captain! After submitting this mission, they seem to have left Canghai City."

"Someone saw their conspicuous black pickup truck just leaving the city."

Hearing this news, their faces immediately brightened, regaining their smiles.

"Five days, a full five days."

"Finally, they're gone."

"Now it's time for other cities to have a taste of this."

A few days later,

[Guardians Organization, headquarters]

The data department, responsible for monitoring the completion status of points-based missions, had just placed the latest data on the desk.

Su Mingxuan, the third-in-command of the Guardians Organization, picked up the data and skimmed through it, suddenly letting out a "Huh."

"Why has the completion rate of points-based missions in Deep Blue City, Canghai City, and several surrounding cities suddenly increased so much?"

"An average increase of over 50%? Did something special happen?"

"Officer Su, it's like this. Deep Blue City produced a Task Tyrants that specializes in taking points-based missions from other cities, leading to this chain reaction," the subordinate reported truthfully.

"Task Tyrants?"

Su Mingxuan repeated the name with surprise, becoming interested: "Find the member information of this squad and show it to me."

As the third-in-command of the Guardians Organization, his authority was second only to the first and second leaders.

At his request, four personnel files were retrieved and brought to him.

[Deep Blue City 0527 Squad, former captain, Yi Fan]

[SS-class Spirit Contractor, formerly served in the First War Zone as a combat Spirit Contractor, awarded the Purple Star Medal. Later, due to the death of his spirit companion, he became disheartened and demoted himself to the Guardians Organization]

[Talent: Immortality. Any form of damage cannot kill him, theoretically possessing near-immortality]

[File level: Top Secret]

Su Mingxuan's hand trembled slightly; the very first file he read out of interest turned out to be a top-secret file?

He quickly opened the next file.

[Deep Blue City 0527 Squad, member, Iris]

[A-class Spirit Contractor, formerly served alongside Yi Fan in the First War Zone, later reassigned together to the Guardians Organization]

[Talent: Deception. Able to change appearance, body size, and even name. Note: The 'changes' triggered by this talent are genuine, with the ability to make lies come true. Extremely dangerous]

[File level: Top Secret]

'Another top-secret file?' Su Mingxuan's brows furrowed unconsciously.

With his strength, he could even sense an invisible rule power trying to infiltrate this "absolutely authentic" file.

Attempting to tamper with its content.

In the name section, the names Iris and Bai Suang flickered repeatedly, like an old black-and-white TV.

"This is the power of Deception? Even from such a distance, it can influence the SSS-class talent [Absolute Authenticity]."

"Just an A-class talent? This rating is way too low. What are the evaluators doing?"

Su Mingxuan put down this file and picked up another one.

"Third time's the charm. Surely it can't be another top-secret file, right?"

He muttered to himself and laughed.

How could it be possible for three top-secret files to appear in an unknown squad?

That would be too ridiculous.

Thinking this, Su Mingxuan opened the third file.

[Deep Blue City 0527 Squad, current captain, Han Zhen. Recently graduated from Qingteng Academy]

Seeing this, Su Mingxuan breathed a sigh of relief. "Now this is normal; this is how a standard file should begin."

He continued reading.

[Specific information: None]

"None? How can it be none? These files are written by individuals with the [Absolute Authenticity] talent. It's impossible to have none."

Having "none" could only mean one thing: it doesn't want him to see it.

Just as Su Mingxuan realized this, his phone rang.

His gaze sharpened.

It was the direct line, known only to a very few. Every time it rang, it signified an extremely urgent matter.

He solemnly picked up the phone and said, "Hello? This is Su Mingxuan."

"Officer Su, this is Lin Jingxuan."

'The head of the Second War Zone, Lin Jingxuan?'

'What could such a bigshot possibly want with me?'

'Could it be that the United Front Department has another new operation requiring the Guardians Organization's cooperation?'

While Su Mingxuan was lost in thought, Lin Jingxuan on the other end continued speaking.

"Officer Su, the file and any related information you have on hand, stop investigating immediately. It has exceeded your clearance."

Lin Jingxuan's words were like a bolt of lightning, nearly stunning Su Mingxuan.

'The file in my hand are beyond my clearance?'

His clearance was already very high, allowing him to review top-secret files.

But this young man named Han Zhen—his file was of an even higher level than top secret?

'Almost forgot—the writer of these files, possessing the [Absolute Authenticity] talent, are under Lin Jingxuan's command.'

"I understand. Thank you for the reminder." Hanging up the phone, Su Mingxuan placed the last file down with a complicated expression.

This file was indeed not top secret.

It was a few levels above top secret.

"Unbelievable. Truly, curiosity killed the cat."

———

As for Han Zhen, he was unaware of the recent happenings among the high-ranking officials of the Guardians Organization.

After ten busy days, they had finally completed all the Zerg extermination missions in the surrounding cities.

The "Task Tyrants" reputation of Deep Blue City's 0527 Squad spread far and wide.

Four missions worth 200 points, six worth 100 points, and eight worth 50 points—totaling 1,800 points.

"This time, our 0527 Squad should no longer be in last place, right?"

White Frost smiled as she opened the electronic screen.

As soon as she scrolled to the bottom, her smile froze on her face.

[0527 Squad, 2,150 points]

[Rank: Last place]

"How is that possible?"
