Chapter 74: The Twenty-fourth District!
The next morning, in the park of the branch of the Department for Combating Ghouls of the 20th district.
Su Xiao was leaning on the ground with one hand.
— Five hundred and forty-three, five hundred and forty-four, five hundred and forty-five...
Su Xiao was doing push-ups on one hand.
Sweat trickled down his cheeks, and a small pool of sweat formed on the ground below him.
Although Heaven could increase the stats, Su Xiao never forgot about training.
Some people became addicted to the feeling of their ever-growing power.
Imagine that you were getting stronger every day, and felt very pleasant feelings because of it.
— Mr. Byakuya, someone is looking for you, " the investigator said.
Su Xiao put strength into his arm and was on his two feet in the blink of an eye.
— Who?
— Kisho Arima! A look of admiration crossed the investigator's face.
— Arima? I know where he is?
After learning about the location, Su Xiao put on his shirt and left the park.
Kisho Arima was looking for him.
----
In the restaurant of the Ghoul Control Department's branch, Su Xiao was calmly eating a very ordinary-looking meal.
Sitting opposite Su Xiao was a handsome man with glasses and white hair.
He is Kisho Arima, the most powerful investigator in the Ghoul Control Department.
— So you're my boss now? Su Xiao said as he finished his portion and looked at Kisho Arima.
— Yes, you were temporarily transferred to group zero. We are responsible for investigating the 24 districts, " Kisho Arima said in a soft tone. He looked like a handsome man with facial paralysis, for his facial expressions rarely changed.
Su Xiao thought for a while.
He had 12 days left, and although the 24th district was dangerous, it wasn't a bad place.
If he wanted to get stronger faster, he needed to take risks. By taking risks, you could get good rewards. This was the iron law of Paradise.
— When will we leave?
— Now.
The first impression Su Xiao gave other people was that he was cold and didn't like to talk about small things.
Kisho Arima was the same, so the interaction between the two was very simple and straightforward.
Kisho Arima didn't ask Su Xiao to prove his strength to him, as he was able to clear the 14th district earlier.
Su Xiao followed Kisho Arima and they left the District 20 Ghoul Control Office branch in the direction of the District 24 entrance.
The entrance to the twenty-fourth district was located on the outskirts of Tokyo and belonged to the suburbs of Tokyo.
To be precise, the entrance to the 24th district was located in the wilderness, and the essence of the 24th district itself was underground.
In the meeting hall of the District 20 branch, Itsuki Marude was standing by the window and looking at the car.
— If only the Grim Reaper would join us... Itsuki Marude looked somewhat disappointed.
— Marude, it doesn't matter, I have a plan, " Yukinori Shinohara patted Itsuki Marude on the shoulder and looked at the car that was already quite far away.
— A plan? Tell me, " Itsuki Marude looked at Yukinori Shinohara in surprise.
Yukinori Shinohara smiled enigmatically, tilted his head to Itsuki Maruda's ear, and said something in a low voice.
— I didn't think you could think of that.
Shinohara's face turned black and he stared at Marude.
The bulletproof vehicle of the Ghoul Control Department stopped near a long-abandoned place.
— Kisho Arima got out of the car first, followed by Su Xiao.
Soon, a hole with a diameter of more than ten meters wide appeared in front of Su Xiao.
This was the entrance to the "dungeon". The entrance was dark, and there was an occasional indistinct howl.
It was actually the wind, and this sound meant that this passage led to many places.
— Yuna, please inform Byakuyu about the situation in the 24th district.
The beauty named Yuna was about 18 or 19 years old. Long black hair, white suit, slightly raised chest, and a briefcase with a quincke in his right hand...
Yuna glanced at Su Xiao and cleared her throat.
She immediately realized that he was a very cold guy. "The twenty-fourth district is actually an underground maze. So far, we have not been able to thoroughly study the 24th district. All due to the fact that in the 24th district there are many "meat" walls...
Su Xiao frowned. He had only heard a little bit about the "meat" walls in the 24th district dungeons, but he didn't know what exactly they looked like.
— Meat walls are a kind of kakuhou wall, and these walls resemble the process of making kuinkyo. It is because of these meat walls that the difficulty of exploring the 24th district is so high...
Yuna continued to talk about the situation in the 24th district.
In general, the 24th district will now be explored only by their group of three people. The only ones in their group right now were Kisho Arima, Byakuya, and Yuna.
As for the other members of group zero, due to Su Xiao's arrival, they were all transferred to other areas by the headquarters.
The headquarters moved them to other locations under the pretext that the current situation in other areas was unstable.
Although Yuna was weak in appearance, she was a special class investigator.
— I've given you the necessary introductory notes. We will start operating in the afternoon.
The three of them stood there in silence. Su Xiao began to wonder if they would stay here until noon.
In the end, Yuna broke the silence: — Are you two still going to stand here?
Kisho Arima didn't say anything, but walked towards the car.
Su Xiao looked at Yuna, and Yuna looked at Su Xiao.
They just stared at each other.
— Start. Work. After. Noon, " Yuna said with a very strange intonation.
Su Xiao realized that his judgment of Yun was wrong.
This beauty wasn't cold, but slightly nervous and moody.
Five minutes later, the three of them arrived at the 24th District base, which was a three-story villa.
It was a place where the investigators could rest.
After entering the branch, Su Xiao saw a few busy employees.
Apart from these employees, there were no other investigators in the branch.
— With the exception of the newcomers, there are only three investigators assigned to the 24th district, and that's us, " Yuna changed her previous cold attitude and started to show enthusiasm.
— What time will we start exploring the 24th district? Su Xiao said and looked around. The villa's structure was very simple, and there was only a logistics department and an information investigation department.
The logistics department provided all types of consumables, and the information Investigation department recorded incidents in 24 districts.
— At one o'clock in the afternoon, the restaurant is inside, and your room is over there, " Yuna said and pointed, but after that, her pretty nose shook.
— The smell of blood, I like your smell.
Su Xiao's mouth twitched. This woman is a complete copy of Juzo Suzuya, no, she was even weirder than Suzuya.
Ignoring her, Su Xiao walked to the window of the logistics department. Immediately after, he saw Paradise's notification.
[Hint: You have entered a special zone, a branch of the 24th district.
Hint: The 24th district branch is a hidden area. In the logistics department of this branch, you can exchange your contribution points for other things.]
Su Xiao wanted to know what items he could get from the logistics department.
— Investigator Byakuya, welcome to the logistics department. Our items are cheap and useful, but they are not free, " a thin old man wearing small round glasses looked at Su Xiao with a smile.
Su Xiao was a little surprised. "This is really a logistics department, not a store?»
As soon as the old man finished speaking, a list of items appeared in front of Su Xiao.
As soon as he saw the very first item on the list, Su Xiao's eyes lit up with flames.
It was the first time he had seen such a bright blue light.
At this moment, Su Xiao was truly overjoyed to be able to become a part of the District 24 group.
