Chapter 139: One Against Three (Part 2)

Chen Xiao'er took the seal and held it up to the light. It turned out to be a very beautiful small silver square seal.

Where should I stamp the recommendation seal?

Because she really couldn't find a place to stamp, she simply took out the ID card issued by the factory from her pocket and stamped it on it. Immediately, a bright red star appeared in the lower left corner.

When was this ID card issued? A flash of doubt passed, then quickly vanished: it must have been issued when I joined the factory.

She put away her ID card and waved to the students who were watching intently. "Okay, what should we do next? We're still three recommendations short, and I wonder where the supervisors are."

"Wait a moment." Xing Shuyao looked at Ye Xiaoyu.

Ye Xiaoyu had her eyes closed, but she nodded as if she saw his gaze. She walked around among the students and pointed to the door. "Over there."

Which way? Chen Xiao'er looked outside, following Ye Xiaoyu's finger. Over there was the other end of the corridor, where she could vaguely see a number of employees queuing for the restroom.

It is said that blind people have better hearing. She asked quietly, "Did you hear which supervisor they mentioned?"

Ye Xiaoyu shook her head and took a few steps forward. "Please stand next to me, or even a little further."

"Okay." Chen Xiao'er continued walking along the corridor. She didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but she seemed to hear someone laughing "Hahahaha".

Could it be that guy, Sinaya? I have a feeling that person would turn on the faucet in the bathroom and rush at me like a wild dog.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile.

…

"Alright, Chen Xiao'er is already at the vantage point. Have the other students release their detection artifacts in the northeast direction."

After the message was sent, the students immediately ran to the corridor and threw out the detection objects.

One after another, silver-white metal pieces flew into the thick fog, bursting out bright light in the high Paster value area, illuminating one energy transmission point after another.

Sizzle, sizzle.

The microwave-wave-shaped detector made a "ding" sound, and a small light green map popped up, with two high-energy anomaly points marked in red on it.

"One of them is probably a demon hunter. Ignore it." The white-haired expert raised a finger and said, "Attack with all your strength. Create an opportunity for Chen Xiao'er and Apostle 0 to approach the supervisor."

"yes."

…

Hmm~ I still can’t see clearly.

Chen Xiao'er's eyes were weeping. Across from her was a line of employees lining up for the restroom. The line stretched from the inside door to the outside, making it impossible to tell who was in charge of the food department.

Just as she was about to say she couldn't find it, she saw a silver-white bamboo dragonfly whizz past her shoulder and fly towards the opposite corridor.

Who is playing with the bamboo dragonfly?

Chen Xiao'ai turned around and saw many of her classmates pulling bamboo helicopters out of their bags and throwing them around, much like skipping stones on a water surface. They'd just tossed the helicopters out and left them there, completely oblivious to what game they were playing.

She leaned over to Zero and whispered, "What are the students doing?"

Zero replied softly, "They're releasing reconnaissance drones. We can use them to see what's going on inside."

"They're deploying detectors. We'll be able to use these artifacts to observe the state of the anomalous cluster."

Is it a drone? It looks pretty unique.

Chen Xiao'e took a closer look and saw that the dragonfly seemed to have a small camera on it. Several classmates also pulled out something that looked like a handle, probably a remote control rod.

A few minutes later, a girl looked up and said, "The food department manager is just across the street. I saw his ID card. He's hiding in the crowd, using other employees as cover."

Chen Xiao'er had some impression of her: Huang Xiyun, who was mentioned in the introduction booklet at the beginning of the school year. She was extremely good at handicrafts, and the models she made had won many awards, big and small.

Chen Xiao'er ran two steps to the opposite side and quickly stopped. She turned back and said to her classmates embarrassedly: "There are too many people in the corridor. I can't squeeze through. And that's the men's restroom..."

Before she could finish her words, Zhao Zhengyi and Zheng Xiuli ran up the corridor from the left and right and rushed past her.

"Hey wait a minute," Chen Xiao'er just raised her hand and noticed that they were holding something familiar. Isn't that the "digital watch" used by the senior sister?!

The electronic watches on their hands are different from the ones they use. There is a small balloon tied to the back of the watch strap. It looks bad no matter how you look at it!

"Oh oh oh oh——" Zhao Zhengyi squeezed into the crowd first. He raised his hands high and threw the electronic watch tied with a balloon to the ground.

Bang, bang, bang, bang.

The colorful smoke one after another dyed the corridor into a mess.

Zheng Xiuli took the opportunity to dive deeper. The electronic watch on her wrist emitted a dazzling light and beeped three times in a row. Rumble—the smell of sulfur filled the colorful light fog!

No, what are you doing?

Chen Xiao'er was so frightened that she froze in place, and then Ling hugged her waist and spun her towards the crowd like dancing.

Ling turned his head and whispered in her ear, "The crowd has dispersed. Let's go!" ["The anomaly has been temporarily dispelled. The action begins!"]

Wait, how can this be called dispelling? Chen Xiao'er narrowed her eyes in pain and rushed into the colorful smoke with the smell of sulfur together with her senior.

Boom boom.

My hair scratched against the smelly air and felt like it was burning.

Zero held her hand tightly and moved quickly through the mist.

The queue was already very dense, almost shoulder to shoulder, but whenever they moved to a place, the employees there would hastily disperse, just like Chocolate Xinaya.

Chen Xiao'er felt a little dizzy from spinning around, and finally when she reached the bathroom door, she saw a rather special figure.

He wasn't tall, but he had a very fat belly. His long, thin arms were clasped over his chest, where a shiny metal nameplate hung. That man must be the head of the food department.

"Hello, cough cough cough." Chen Xiao'er stretched out her hand toward the figure in the mist and shouted in a raised voice, "Can you give me your recommendation certificate? It's urgent, cough cough cough."

"?!" As she saw the supervisor clearly, the supervisor also saw her clearly.

Even with the thick sulfur fog blocking her view, Chen Xiao'er could see a deep look of disdain on the supervisor's face.

"Who do you think you are, daring to talk to me like that! Hey, you scum, don't run away, come here. Don't forget who fed you!" The man tapped his stomach with a smile.

The employees who had just been running back and forth stopped immediately. Even those who were still queuing lowered their heads and stood silently in front of and behind the supervisor.

The food department manager's originally not tall figure became oppressive when surrounded by so many people.

He stood in the crowd, raised a thin little finger towards Chen Xiao'er, and sneered, "Hahaha, you've already made such a fuss over a recommendation chapter. I just didn't want to argue with you. As long as I, as long as we really want to argue with you, you'll be nothing!"

…

Beep beep beep.

The red alarm box kept ringing in the monitoring center.

The observers have been standing since a while ago and have not sat down. Now some of them have even bitten their lips and are bleeding.

"Damn it..." A thin man slammed the table. "The Anomaly-Overlord is starting to place a heavy bet. It's dumping a huge amount of energy and all the disadvantages it had previously stored onto this anomaly!"

This was a rational and correct plan. The Abnormal Overlord had set up four supervisors to limit Chen Xiao'er's progress and prevent this human with special abilities from getting close to him.

But now the situation has changed. Chen Xiao'er can use the rules just like the Lord, and her use is even more unconventional.

If she is allowed to run rampant in the area, she will fall into the rhythm of the human side, and once the four levels are broken one by one, she will be doomed to die.

That's why the Abnormal Overlord mobilized most of the resources to strengthen the abnormality that controls the energy center, allowing it to block Chen Xiao'er outside the checkpoint, so that the two kings could not meet.

"Things are very troublesome."

The white-haired expert sighed behind the screen and rubbed his forehead. "In Chen Xiao'er's eyes, these many anomalies are like a large number of adults. With her overly kind values, she simply can't manipulate Zero or lead the students to kill the anomalies and break through their blockade."

Everyone fell silent. Chen Xiao'er's ability was indeed unusually restrained, but that was all based on her "wanting to do so."

The pixel man on the screen began to hesitate, and his crying expression and shrinking movements represented the monitoring center's prediction: it was a strange object and their prediction of Chen Xiao'er based on her existing archival records.

She lacked the indomitable heart of a warrior, because she, because Chen Xiao'er never knew why she was fighting.

"That's enough," a serious woman snorted. "Don't pin all your hopes on a child. She's doing well. It's our turn now. Use the Sky Spear."

"What?!"

She was fine halfway through her speech, but as soon as the word "Sky Spear" came out, someone immediately objected loudly: "Are you crazy? That's a relic from the technological age. If we use one, we'll lose one!"

"I know! That's why we're only requesting a single missile, not launching all of them," the woman said coldly. "Our predecessors expended enormous manpower and resources to build space-based weapons. Wasn't it to save humanity from certain death?"

"You say that so easily..."

The young woman covered her forehead with her hands, her face covered in sweat.

Her colleague immediately chimed in: "That's right, the Sky Spear isn't a primordial artifact. It was originally a weapon from the technological age. So, to launch it in this era, just the calibration process would cost—"

"I know!" The lady's eyes widened, a scarlet glow spreading across her dark brown irises. "The goal is power! Power!! Didn't we agree to do it at all costs? Explain to me what you mean by 'all'!"

The silence lasted only a few seconds, followed by a deep sigh.

The sound of keyboards clacking could be heard in the monitoring center, and everyone began to work hard to type applications and advance the signing process.

Judging by the fastest process, it would only take a little over a minute for a silver-white beam of light to fall from the sky and create a crack in the abnormal area below.

Next, the Knights will launch an offensive and fight a desperate battle with the Overlord despite the weakening of the rules.

"Wait a minute!" The expert group exclaimed: "Look, look, Chen Xiao'er has a reaction." It was a completely different reaction from what was predicted!

Chen Xiao'er climbed to a higher place with the help of No. 0's hand without knowing when.

She looked down at the swirling cluster of anomalies and shouted loudly: "I say you—"

The people in the monitoring center held their breath: they observed golden ripples, a sign that the power of rules was being output. Even if she didn't realize it, she was instinctively mobilizing global energy, causing the overall situation to shift.

"Could it be that - your stomach doesn't hurt anymore?" The clear voice penetrated the eardrum and resonated back and forth in the space.

“…”

The monitoring center was dead silent. The assistant's hands were on the keyboard, not knowing whether to type or pause.
