Chapter 181 64. Can Team K take on simple tasks? Who believes you!

When Mason heard Mr. Hunter say that the mandatory mission was to be advanced, Mason felt a little nervous. When he heard the other party said that the mission would be carried out in the last coordinate world of the World Gate, he felt a little uneasy.

The main reason is that they have just returned from Old Peter's world. This "traitor execution" has left everyone mentally and physically exhausted and they haven't had a good rest. Selina has encountered a symbiote crisis and can't move at all until she recovers.

At this time, it is easy to encounter unplanned situations when performing mandatory tasks.

This is something Mason has been trying to avoid.

Mr. Hunter seemed to sense Mason's worries. She did not try to persuade him but directly stated the content of the mission.

"You are not allowed to fight, nor do you have to set foot in an area where there is a near-death situation. I also know the situation of Team K, so I specifically chose that assassin world.

You just need to enter it and look for a specific area to unlock a piece of information.

If you're lucky, you can come back in one day."

"Um?"

Hearing the content of the mission, Mason raised his eyebrows, and he immediately thought of what he had gotten from Old Teague before.

After rummaging through the luggage for a few seconds, I took "Odin's Golden Apple" in my hand. This Isu creation shone with a warm light under the lights of the shop, and the unique lines on it revealed a mysterious feeling.

.

"You mean this?"

Mason brought the golden apple to Mr. Hunter and said:

"It is said that this thing was brought out by Old K from that world last time. It was related to a secret mission. He originally planned to go there again, but it turned out"

"Well, that's it."

Mr. Hunter reached out and put the golden apple in his hand. She said with a complicated tone:

"It's a secret mission from the Quint Society.

There are certain legends spread from that world of assassins. It is said that there were "gods" in the ancient times of that world, and those "gods" predicted disasters in the parallel world system.

It is always difficult to tell whether this kind of gossip is true or false.

But for us, even the smallest possibility needs to be verified.

So Old K was asked to go in there and look for traces of those gods. He found this golden apple at the cost of destroying his team, but this thing needs to be in a specific area to unlock the hidden information.

This is the content of your forced development mission this time.

Mason, go to that world to find a device that can unlock the information on the golden apple, and bring back the message hidden in it.

It’s really not as difficult as you think.”

"It sure doesn't sound difficult."

Mason rubbed his chin and stared at the golden apple in Mr. Hunter's hand.

From her words, Mason could tell that Mr. Hunter and even the stars would not know much about the truth about the "Assassin World", at least not as much as he knew.

There are many "golden apples" like this in that world.

Moreover, the Isu people, an ancient civilization that existed in that world, were not "gods" either, although there was no doubt that they had mastered various super-advanced black technologies and gods.

But they are indeed two completely different things and cannot be confused.

"Is there anything else I should be aware of?"

Mason pretended to be stupid and asked.

"Yes, and there are quite a few."

Mr. Hunter returned the golden apple to Mason, and she said:

"The 'Assassin's World' was accidentally discovered during a routine development seven months ago. Because of its special nature, it is a public area like the 'Magical Creatures World'.

That world is rich in magical weapons and ancient knowledge left over from the ancient era of gods, so after its appearance, many B-class personnel will stay there to look for usable weapons and equipment.

We have developed 'safe zones' there.

If Team K is in trouble, they can go there to ask for help. Of course, this kind of private employment between teams requires a cost.

I believe you can understand this."

"Oh? A public world?"

Mason raised his eyebrows and said:

"In other words, if necessary, we can even hire other people to help throughout the process, and we just have to sit back and enjoy the benefits?"

"If you can afford the commission, of course."

Mr. Hunter rolled his eyes and said:

"But I think it's a little difficult to hire those B-class teams with your current financial resources.

But if you make up your mind to do this, I won't stop you. As long as you can bring back the information in this golden apple, your development mission will be completed.

However, Mason, what I want to tell you is that the 'world of assassins' may not be as simple as it seems.

Lao K encountered a very dangerous situation during his last exploration in it. According to his report afterwards, in addition to the superficial forces, that world also had some hidden dangerous forces.

Just like in some supernatural worlds, there is a distinction between the 'surface world' and the 'inner world'. For example, this golden apple does not belong to the realm in which it appears.

I guess if you enter that world with this thing, you will be targeted, so there is still a danger.

The advice I can give you is that the sooner the better.

Don’t stay there too long.”

Mason nodded.

He looked at the golden apple in his hand and asked:

"If you have determined that there is hidden power in that B-class world, and there are even prophecies about the crisis in this parallel world, then why not conduct a large-scale investigation or fully establish a presence there?

I think if that prophecy is true, the importance of this world is far higher than that of an ordinary A-level world, right?

Isn’t this worth starting a large-scale invasion war?”

"That's just a B-level world, Mason. Its power system determines that it's difficult to create miracles. You can detect dangers and you can solve crises. These are two completely different concepts."

Mr. Hunter shook his head and said:

"There are similar precedents in previous pioneering missions. In some worlds with magical heritage, there are also 'prophets' and other figures who have predicted that impact events will occur in the future.

But without exception, they are unable to respond effectively to this, so if it is just a prophecy, it is not worth the stars to go to war over it.

We still have a lot of A-level worlds that we haven’t figured out yet.

Besides, it has only been seven months since we discovered it, and our current operations on that world are still at the stage of investigation and intelligence collection.

Large-scale promotion and excavation will have to wait until follow-up plans are implemented.

Secondly, the matter about the golden apple has only been confirmed among ‘us’.

I can be sure that some senior members of the Society of Stars are also secretly investigating that world under high-level orders. In fact, such investigations have not been interrupted since we discovered that world.

But except for Old K, no one else could bring anything valuable out of there.

Based on the behavior of the superior organization of the Society of Stars, once it is confirmed that the information in the golden apple is indeed useful, the world of assassins will immediately fall into an unstoppable war of destruction.

That's not what I want to see.

If that world really hides doomsday prophecies and defense methods left by ancient gods, we would be more inclined to cooperate with them to jointly explore ways to resist the crisis.

Rather than grabbing those things at the cost of destruction."

She paused and said to Mason:

"So regardless of whether the information you unlock is useful or not, the content of this operation must be kept completely confidential. If the secret is leaked, Mason, I will not punish you.

But all the wars and suffering in that world caused by your lack of confidentiality are your responsibility. I don’t think you want to see a world in crisis because of you, right?"

"Well, it sounds like a heavy responsibility and the possibility of incurring a debt of conscience."

Mason grinned.

He put the golden apple away, nodded to Mr. Hunter and said:

"I will be as careful as possible. Is there a time limit for this pioneering task?"

"A standard development cycle is five days."

Mr. Hunter made a sign and said:

"But as I just said, for your safety, the sooner the better.

Of course, as I just said, the world of assassins has always been rich in excellent ancient weapons and equipment, such as Old K’s Sujie Eagle.

If you still have some energy left, you can search among them.

If necessary, I can give you some clues. I heard that Abstergo, the largest pharmaceutical company in the Assassin world, has a lot of pretty good ancient weapons in its collection.

But because too many pioneering teams have focused on them, the defense system there is already very tight, and it is difficult for Team K to break through with its current strength.

So it’s better to wait until you officially become B-class personnel before going on adventures.”
