With the incident resolved, Robin saw no need to return home and stayed to help clean up the battlefield.
Invincible Bro emerged from the Bureau of Anomalous Investigations' break room. He had been in a neat and orderly office, but when he pushed the door open—or rather, gave it a slight nudge—it collapsed onto the floor, revealing a scene resembling a battlefield ravaged by artillery fire.
He instinctively ducked his head. He knew the Bureau had been fighting a powerful foreign adversary to protect him, but he had been helpless to do anything. To be honest, his feelings were complicated.
As he was lost in thought, Zhong Wanhong approached him with the Surprise Box retrieved from the Martyr's corpse. "So, what exactly is this thing?"
It was impossible not to be curious. Robin followed closely behind, shamelessly eavesdropping with her ears perked up.
Invincible Bro refocused his attention on the wooden box, then gave it an odd look. "This thing... it's not a box at all. It's a die..."
Invincible Bro could clearly see the following information:
Name: One-Sixth Die (Surprise Box)
Quality: Purple
Effect: Toss this die high into the air. If it lands on a blank face, nothing happens. If it lands on the face imprinted with a single clown pattern, the thrower receives a "Low Probability Blessing." For the next hour, any probabilistic event the thrower encounters will invariably result in the least likely outcome.
The name displayed both the item's original name (One-Sixth Die) and the Bureau of Anomalous Investigations' placeholder name (Surprise Box), assigned before they understood its true function.
To be honest, Invincible Bro could understand why the Bureau had failed to decipher the die's effect. Who would have guessed it was a die? Bureau agents probably wouldn't idly toss it around, so they'd never have rolled the clown face.
But that wasn't the main point. After Invincible Bro explained the die's effect, Robin couldn't help but make a speechless expression. "This... I can't say it's completely useless, but the Martyr went to such lengths just to obtain this?"
After learning the details of the die's effects, Robin's first thought was to head straight to the casino. "I could make a fortune!" she mused, but she struggled to imagine any other uses for it.
She knew that triggering the least probable event wasn't necessarily a good thing. What if she got hit by a car while walking? Or what if the plane exploded the moment she boarded?
As Robin pondered the die's potential, the investigation teams from other branches of the Bureau of Anomalous Investigations in Longcheng finally arrived. Despite their swift response, Robin's situation had unfolded too abruptly, and the battle had ended too quickly.
In reality, only a little over ten minutes had passed. Time flowed differently in the Illusionary Realm.
Some time later, Dragon Nation's seventh Special Operations Team, Bixi, arrived earlier than their scheduled three-hour mark. Unfortunately, they were still too late.
The four-member team stared in silence at the Martyr's corpse on the ground.
Then, Lü Heng quietly sidled up to Robin and whispered, "Did you see the shortest woman among them? She's the team captain, and also an Outsider."
Hearing this, Robin couldn't help but glance over. Her first thought was, "Is she a transmigrator like me?"
No, to be precise, all Outsiders were likely transmigrators. But could this person have come from the same place she had?
That was a difficult question to ask.
Just then, the other woman seemed to notice Robin's gaze. She turned, gave a slight nod, and then resumed her conversation with her teammates about the Martyr.
"If she's the Captain, she must be incredibly skilled, right?" Robin asked.
"Absolutely. Don't let her small stature fool you. Her sword techniques are otherworldly, and she wields a special power called Qi. Sadly, it's unique to her—no one else can use it," Lü Heng said with a sigh.
Well, that confirmed it. This woman definitely wasn't from Robin's original world.
In fact, this was precisely why the Bureau of Anomalous Investigations hadn't pressed Robin for details about her previous world after discovering her Outsider status. It simply wouldn't be relevant.
The cultivation system from the Outsider's original world? Even if we knew it, it would be useless. It's like asking someone from the Naruto World who has transmigrated to the One Piece World to teach pirates Ninjutsu. The people of the One Piece World don't even have Chakra—how could they possibly cultivate anything?
As for a general overview of the Outsider's previous world, that's even more pointless. To the people of this world, listening to such tales would be no different from reading a novel.
Besides, any information we could gather would be based on a single person's word, making it potentially fabricated. Ultimately, what truly mattered was the Outsider's character. Instead of dwelling on their past, we should focus on building a good relationship with them and looking toward the future.
That's why the Bureau of Anomalous Investigations only conducted detailed inquiries with the first one or two Outsiders. After that, they stopped bothering.
Then, Zhong Wanhong approached Robin and said, "Robin, could you briefly tell me about your previous world?"
There were two reasons for this request. First, naturally, he needed to write a report on the incident. Second, Zhong Wanhong genuinely found Robin's previous world terrifying and felt compelled to learn more about it.
Robin's brother, that colossal golden figure, and finally... the deity that appeared.
"Now?" Robin asked.
"No, let's do it tomorrow when we have more time. It's getting late, you should go home and rest."
As they were talking, Invincible Bro sidled up to Lü Heng. After a moment's hesitation, he finally blurted out, "Hey, Peace Bro, if I wanted to join the Bureau of Anomalous Investigations, how would I go about it?"
Lü Heng froze, completely taken aback. "Who?"
Invincible Bro rolled his eyes. "Stop pretending! You're Robin's colleague and her biggest fan. I can't imagine it being anyone else. Come on, we're practically brothers, give me a hand!"
Lü Heng looked even more confused. "As long as your record is clean, joining the Bureau isn't difficult. But what are you even talking about? Who's this 'Peace Bro'?"
