Ye Haimo and Investigator Fu sat opposite each other, the former with a furrowed brow, the latter relaxing as he drank tea.
"I didn't expect the Abyss Eye to attack Glory Chapel and then want to summon an Abyss Lord again... these clandestine organizations are becoming more restless, and their power is growing stronger."
"According to the intelligence, the success rate of this summoning is very high. Perhaps I should personally go, otherwise if the Abyss Eye causes another Cataclysm, they will be even harder to deal with."
Investigator Fu shook his head. "It's better for you to remain at headquarters. The Foundation's request for help only involves two True Order members, and the association can help them clear out the grunts, which indicates they are very confident in this operation."
"Speaking of which, compared to the Abyss Eye, I'm more curious about the SRS Foundation. This new organization is far more mysterious than the Abyss Eye. We have very little intelligence on that Cataclysm called 'Black Cross'."
"It's a good opportunity for us to see the Foundation's strength. And we can also send out that team to conduct some tests."
Ye Haimo pondered for a few minutes, then nodded. "In that case, Special Action Team One and Four are idle, so let Tie Xingzhou and Gui Tunluo go."
"And let's see the caliber of that team as well."
...
Like Miao Miaomiao and the others, many other Containment Personnel were itching to participate in the upcoming joint operation.
Since joining the Containment Facility, they had received far more from the Facility than they had contributed.
Although this didn't make them feel guilty towards the Facility, the arrival of a mission filled them with renewed vigor.
By the agreed-upon noon, the place was already buzzing with excitement, even more so than the weekly Containment Personnel gathering on Wednesdays.
Miao Miaomiao weaved nimbly through the crowd, quickly spotting three Containment Personnel standing together.
These three were Yan Xiu, Li Dazhuang, and You Han.
After leaving Glory Chapel, Yan Xiu had returned to Furong River City and formed a three-person Containment Personnel team with Li Dazhuang and You Han.
Li Dazhuang and You Han had both advanced to the Assimilation realm, and their aura had changed significantly.
You Han appeared delicate and weak, but upon closer inspection, one could see the dense vital energy emanating from her.
Li Dazhuang, on the other hand, exuded an aura of unapproachability, giving off a strange feeling, as if prolonged proximity to him would lead to unpleasant events.
As for Yan Xiu, after leaving Glory Chapel and being free from that unseen restraint, his strength had increased rapidly. He was now a Containment Personnel of the Middle Order.
Once Miao Miaomiao found the three, she grabbed their arms and pulled them into another corner.
In this corner were thirty to forty people, all of whom were among the first to join the Containment Facility. They were considered veterans among the Containment Personnel, and their strength had greatly surpassed their initial levels.
Couple Xiao Man and Changsun Jing had both advanced to the Assimilation realm. Xiong Ying, who already possessed Assimilation combat power, had adhered to his path of a hero while acting as a demon hunter, and his strength had now reached the Upper Order.
These core thirty to forty Containment Personnel had formed a small circle.
As the number of Containment Personnel increased, the Containment Facility added two more gathering venues. The connections between the three venues were not strong, and this collective action provided an opportunity for everyone to increase their interaction.
By three o'clock in the afternoon, all the Containment Personnel who were supposed to be there had arrived. Wen Wen, dressed in a specially made black robe that highlighted his distinct status, emerged from the shadows and stood before the Containment Personnel.
He clapped his hands gently, and the crowd immediately quieted down.
"I will be the overall commander for this operation against the clandestine organization."
"All Containment Personnel present have received the war notice, so I will get straight to the point. Our target this time is the clandestine organization, the Abyss Eye."
"The Abyss Eye is a clandestine organization composed of demons and demon worshipers!"
"The entire organization has a history spanning over a thousand years. Throughout this long period, the Abyss Eye has committed all sorts of evil deeds to provide excellent service to demons..."
"In Federal Year 017, in Andertak Province, in the Hang Province region, a demon went mad due to food poisoning. The Hunter Association discovered a chain of restaurants that provided special food for demons."
"The main ingredient of this restaurant was human beings. By the time it was shut down, thirty-seven thousand people had lost their lives in this chain of restaurants."
"In Federal Year 054, by the Mason River in the Eife Province region, a large-scale blood sacrifice incident occurred, spearheaded by a council member of the Abyss Eye..."
Before the more than five hundred Containment Personnel present, Wen Wen recounted the major atrocities committed by the Abyss Eye, one by one.
Listening to these cases, the Containment Personnel were filled with righteous indignation. Superpowered individuals who accepted the purpose of the Containment Facility and became Containment Personnel could not be said to be universally hateful of evil, but at least they all harbored a strong aversion to the misuse of superpower for evil.
The crimes of the Abyss Eye were not acceptable, not only to these Containment Personnel but even to ordinary people.
What Wen Wen said was not a single lie; in fact, some things were omitted. The crimes committed by clandestine organizations like the Abyss Eye could truly be described as endless.
Originally, many Containment Personnel had only intended to show up because of the notice, preparing to just go through the motions.
But after hearing Wen Wen's words, their emotions were stirred. They were eager to appear at the target location right away and slaughter those demons.
Now, all the Containment Personnel were united as one, their morale soaring to its peak.
Seeing that the emotional atmosphere was sufficiently built up, Wen Wen continued, "This time, the Abyss Eye is preparing to use a city as a sacrifice to summon a Cataclysm-level demon into reality!"
"To achieve this, they have deployed a large number of demons. Our mission this time is to cooperate with the Hunter Association to annihilate all these demons and make them pay for their past wickedness!"
"Currently, our strength is still insufficient, and we can only sever some of their tentacles. When our strength is sufficient, we will uproot all these filthy organizations!"
"The combat achievements of every Containment Personnel attending this operation will be automatically recorded in their Containment Personnel badge. Afterwards, the Containment Facility will issue generous rewards based on your merits in battle!"
"Including but not limited to, rewards of superpower items, Containment Points, free passes to the Mirror Maze, free passes to the Bunny Massage Parlor, free passes for healing, and so on..."
Upon hearing Wen Wen's words, the Containment Personnel's fighting spirit grew even stronger.
Although they would fight with all their might due to their sense of mission and justice even without rewards, Wen Wen did not want these Containment Personnel to risk their lives in vain.
