Chapter 1
In 2037...
The sky was gray, with several unidentified objects that suddenly appeared a few years ago hovering above. These colossal objects were black all over, densely arranged, looming low over the earth, blocking out the sun, like a dark iron cage locking the entire planet within.
With their appearance, incidents of unknown monsters attacking humans began to occur frequently on the planet...
Clack, clack...
With the urgent clicking of high heels, Agatha hurriedly traversed the streets, arriving at the tallest building in the city to launch her final assault.
She was going to be late again...
Seeing someone looking her way, she maintained a calm expression as she entered the building, swiping her card to access the elevator.
Agatha was a dimensional traveler with abilities, having been here for over a year. To avoid being seen as eerie and eliminated, she tried her best to conceal her powers.
Of course, she only had a partial understanding of her abilities and needed time to develop them.
She furrowed her pretty brows, gently pushed open the door to the meeting room, and carefully closed it behind her.
Bending over, using tables and chairs to shield her body, tiptoeing to avoid making noise and alerting the people in front, she finally found a seat after narrowly escaping detection and let out a long sigh.
Captain Dodd of the Special Affairs Task Force had already observed Agatha's every move, but he remained silent, secretly contemplating how to retaliate against this troublemaker who dared to be late to a meeting he chaired.
The lean and dry old man looked down at the ten men and women below and proudly said, "The mysterious incident involving Group e0137 in our jurisdiction has been successfully resolved. Points and rewards have been distributed, a success achieved through everyone's cooperation."
The ten men and women sitting below were field operatives of the Special Affairs Task Force. Upon hearing Dodd's words, they all applauded enthusiastically.
Dodd looked at the reactions of the crowd, very satisfied.
He waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, resumed his serious expression, and continued, "According to the data from the monitoring center, there have been two more bizarre incidents in our jurisdiction, assessed as d+ and e level risks respectively. The d+ incident has already been taken over by the A City branch, while the e level falls on us to resolve."
"The incident occurred near Ankude, and there has been a casualty. The victim is a 30-year-old man, the sole breadwinner of the family. His wife is a homemaker, and they have two sons. Additionally, the wife is known to frequently engage in extramarital affairs, and preliminary analysis suggests her behavior may have contributed to the manifestation of the anomaly."
"As for the perpetrator of this incident... they come and go without a trace. As long as it remains elusive, we are powerless! Headquarters has advised us to reenact the entire sequence of events through role-play, luring out the anomaly and then neutralizing it. We need individuals to play the roles of the wife, sons, in-laws, and the husband, for a total of six roles."
"The risk levels range from low, low-medium, low, to extremely high. The husband role with an extremely high risk level is the primary target of the monster, with a 90% fatality rate."
At this point, Dodd paused, then continued, "Of course, the higher the risk, the greater the reward. The bonuses are as follows: one hundred thousand, one hundred thousand, eighty thousand, with points of two hundred, three hundred five, respectively."
"And for the husband role player - a bonus of five hundred thousand and one thousand points!"
As he finished, a gasp swept through the room.
"The husband role player gets so many points?"
"Yes, enough for many more missions."
"But the risk is way too high!"
Dodd glanced at the crowd and continued, "In addition, we need ten external reinforcements to surround and eliminate the anomaly once it appears, with fifty points and a bonus of twenty thousand each."
Finally, he looked in Agatha's direction, a hint of amusement on his face.
"The role of the wife will be yours. Your allure ability is perfect for this role."
Agatha thought to herself that with two hundred points, she could exchange for quite a nice piece of equipment. But given her allure ability, it wasn't even her turn, as several competitors were at an e+ level...
Just then, Dodd's voice came through again, "By the way, one-third of your reward goes to you, one-third to our team, and one-third to everyone... Any objections?"
"No objections!" Everyone chimed in.
Who would oppose sharing the money without taking on the risk?
Each person would end up with over ten points and thousands of dollars each.
Agatha rolled her eyes internally but put on a charming smile on her face.
Standing up, she turned to the group, blowing a kiss, "Thank you all for this opportunity. I'll treat everyone to dinner after the mission ends."
"You all have no objections, but I do, feeling quite annoyed!"
Unfortunately, she couldn't reveal her full strength to avoid being seen as a monster, so she had to endure it for now.
Dodd knew she was in a mood, but with only the allure power, her role in the mission would be minimal, ensuring everyone was on board with the allocation. "Alright, let's start signing up."
Soon, many people volunteered, with several candidates for each role.
The headquarters' risk assessment was reliable, with low-risk roles having low chances of death and generous rewards, prompting eager participation.
However, no one showed interest in the husband role.
But upon reflection, it was understandable.
After all, with an extremely high risk level and a 90% fatality rate, it was basically a one-way trip.
The reward is useless if a person is lost; it's all in vain. Dodd was also somewhat troubled, as he couldn't forcibly assign such matters, which would cause the already loose alliance to collapse directly.
After waiting for more than ten minutes without anyone choosing, he could only helplessly say, "Since no one has chosen the role of husband, let's stick to the original plan and find someone outside to replace him."
Dodd once again examined this enchanting girl and said, "Agatha, you have one day to select a suitable person to cooperate with. Can you handle it tomorrow night when we officially begin solving the strange events?" "Don't worry, Captain. I can handle it tonight, not tomorrow," Agatha confidently replied.
After all, many people outside were just ordinary people without the Force, and a little charm could easily make them infatuated and unable to resist. "Alright, meeting adjourned!" Dodd said. As Agatha was about to leave, Dodd stopped her.
After everyone had left, Dodd's face instantly turned serious as he shook his head at Agatha's back, "This time I may have to make things difficult for you, but there's no other way. After the mission is over, I will give you more points and bonuses in private..."
"But only if necessary..." He paused.
"As for how to make it difficult for you... I will inform you through the intercom during the mission." Upon hearing this, Agatha's mouth twitched slightly, and she clenched her hand tightly behind her back.
However, she still maintained a relaxed expression on her face and said, "I understand, Captain!" "Oh? Are you sure?" Dodd was somewhat surprised.
"Yes!" Agatha nodded heavily. She knew that if she messed up this task of eliminating the strangeness again, she might lose her job. But Dodd just couldn't bring himself to say it! Well, one step at a time.
She had to first complete the task Dodd had assigned her - finding someone. Leaving the special office, Agatha walked around downstairs, eyeing the guard room in contemplation...
Inside the guard room, a strong man in a green uniform was staring at the holographic images on the monitor.
Despite wearing a security uniform, he had an extraordinary demeanor and bright eyes. He's the one... Having made up her mind, Agatha walked gracefully to the window and pretended to stumble, "Oops!" Agatha was already extremely beautiful, and her eyes at this moment seemed to be alluring.
The security guard, whose attention was shifted from the holographic images to the beautiful woman outside the window, was momentarily stunned.
He quickly walked out of the guard room and approached her, asking with concern, "Are you okay?" The security guard felt his heart skip a beat, spoke somewhat hesitantly, and blushed involuntarily when looking at Agatha.
After quickly regaining his composure, he looked at the girl in front of him - she was only around twenty years old, with golden hair, fair skin, a lovely and spirited appearance, and innocent eyes filled with moisture, like an injured little white rabbit, evoking pity.
It wasn't because she was exceptionally beautiful, but...
he rarely talked to people...
"Uncle, what's your name?"
"Adam J. Plummo, just call me Adam."
"My foot seems to be twisted. It hurts so much. Uncle, could you please take me to the hospital?" Saying this, Agatha took off her red bound high heels and rubbed her slender ankle.
The slightly reddened ankle, hidden behind the thin black stockings, was faintly visible. "Adam? Nice name - ah!" Suddenly, she lost her balance and fell into Adam's arms.
"Be careful!" Adam supported her steadily. "I'll take you to the hospital right away."
"Thank you, you're such a good person." Agatha's voice was very tender, and her long eyelashes were trembling slightly.
Adam directly lifted her up and ran quickly towards the nearest clinic. As they ran, the feminine fragrance kept wafting into his nose, and her long black silk legs occasionally brushed against his arms.
For a man who had been single for most of his life, this was undoubtedly a fatal temptation, and his body began to have a strong physiological reaction.
