The System Arrived Four Years Early, but the Anomaly Is Still a Juvenile

Chapter 29

Deng Yuqi was genuinely tempted to punch someone.

Just yesterday, this guy had shown interest in joining the Special Response Department, practically oozing eagerness with every word—like he was just waiting for the invitation.

So she’d worked overtime to push through his application, personally monitored the HQ’s review process, and even extended the offer herself. And now…

Deng Yuqi was about to lose her temper when Shen Ge let out a long, melancholic sigh.

Deng Yuqi cut him off with a deadpan stare.

God of Cookery Shen Ge asked.

Deng Yuqi replied flatly.

His expression was utterly serious.

Done with his nonsense, Deng Yuqi grabbed her notepad and stood.

Shen Ge followed her toward the door.

Deng Yuqi resisted the urge to throttle him.

Just then, Li Xiang from the tech department hurried over. Spotting Shen Ge, he said,

Li Xiang frowned.

Shen Ge tilted his head.

Shen Ge reached into his crossbody bag and pulled out… a brick.

Li Xiang:

Deng Yuqi:

Deng Yuqi’s expression was a mix of disbelief and concern. A psych eval was happening.

Both Deng Yuqi and Li Xiang stared at him, their expressions now deeply complicated.

Li Xiang asked. After examining the rat’s corpse, he’d realized how tough the creature was. The fact that Shen Ge had taken it down spoke volumes. His attitude toward the man had warmed considerably.

Shen Ge handed it over, then added,

Li Xiang blinked.

Shen Ge nodded confidently.

Deng Yuqi raised an eyebrow.

Li Xiang:

Deng Yuqi’s tone left no room for argument.

Li Xiang cleared his throat.

Shen Ge’s expression didn’t change, but internally, his mind raced.

Deng Yuqi seemed to weigh the request. Normally, supernatural corpses underwent multiple safety checks before reaching the tech department. The researchers were invaluable—losing even one would be a massive blow.

Li Xiang was still new, assigned to basic dissection work. His lab wasn’t even in the R&D wing, so Shen Ge wouldn’t see anything classified.

Since he wasn’t officially part of the department yet, Deng Yuqi asked out of courtesy—and to leave a good impression.

He paused dramatically, his face turning grave.

Deng Yuqi and Li Xiang tensed, expecting a crucial revelation.

Deng Yuqi’s fist clenched. Her takeout had gone cold, untouched.

she gritted out.

Shen Ge brightened.

Too drained to argue, Deng Yuqi took him to the cafeteria and had the chef whip up a boxed meal. She assumed he’d eat there, but no—he insisted they dragging her along with his food to watch the dissection.

As they entered the heavily guarded tech building, a frantic alert blared in Shen Ge’s mind—

[WARNING!]

[WARNING!]

[WARNING!]

[Host, you absolute —charging into a supernatural HQ alone!]

[High-tier supernatural domains detected!]

[Colliding spatial distortions detected!]

[Current host survival rate: 0.00001%!]

[Turn back now or face certain doom!]

Red text flashed across his vision—but unlike the clear *”7th-tier entity”* warning at Tom’s Department Store, this one only mentioned The alert faded after one burst.

Deng Yuqi noticed him freeze.
