Chapter 85: The Faction's Mission
Midday, in the backyard of the temporary branch of the 24th district, outdoor swimming pool.
A light breeze began to blow, making the trees by the pool rustle and birds sing in the branches.
Su Xiao leaned back on the chaise longue with a glass of orange juice and a few snacks.
— Byakuya, why aren't you coming down? - Yuna was wearing a bikini and swimming in the pool.
— Su Xiao's upper body was covered in bandages, and the wounds should not be exposed to water..
It had been one day since Group zero had returned to the 24th District branch. Although time in the derived worlds was very valuable, Su Xiao's injuries weren't light plus his body was exhausted, so he needed a full rest.
— Realizing that Su Xiao didn't want to go swimming with her, Yuna looked at Kisho Arima.
Kisho Arima was wearing a new pair of glasses, and he was sitting next to the pool. His body was also bandaged, and in his hands he held the book " The Egg of the Black Goat».
This book was written by Takatsuki Sen. Putting aside Takatsuki Sen's personality, she was definitely a talented woman. Every book she wrote was very popular.
In the original storyline, Takatsuki Sen, who pretends to be a novelist, was unexpectedly able to interview Ghoul Control Department investigators, which proved her fame.
The Egg of The Black Goat was about a female killer who had a child. This child had a normal life, but on the way to adulthood, this child inexplicably developed a desire to kill. Soon after, the child began to struggle and stood at the crossroads between the life of an ordinary person and the life of a murderer.
Su Xiao read this book briefly and decided that it was about her experience.
Kisho Arima focused on reading and occasionally nodded as if agreeing with the contents of the book.
Right now they were relaxed and there was almost nothing to indicate their ferocious adventure in the 24th district.
Arima Kisho was in his mid-thirties and looked like a scholar when he read the book.
Yuna was so innocent in the pool, and no one could tell that she was getting crazy when she engaged in close combat with her sickle.
Su Xiao was a real sloth who was lying in the sun and enjoying a sun bath, however, the light that flashed in his eyes from time to time made one feel cold.
After resting for a while, Su Xiao took out a sword and some tools, then started servicing it.
His movements were skillful, and although he could find people to restore the state of his sword in the Reincarnation Paradise, he liked to do it himself.
His sword was his most reliable possession, and it had already helped him avoid death more than once.
It was a pity that this sword couldn't keep up with his pace.
Su Xiao took the sword and raised it to the sky.
The blade flashed as before. If this sword wasn't damaged, then it would at least be a blue-grade weapon.
Su Xiao wanted to find a way to restore this sword, as there were quite incredible abilities in Paradise, but he doubted that he would have enough money to restore the sword.
Rai once told him that repair supplies were very rare. The worst repair item had a blue quality, just like the other two, but as for the other items, Heaven didn't give him any information about them, because his level and rank were too low.
But even if he found a similar consumable, he would still need to find the right craftsman in Paradise to fix his equipment.
Such people were very rare in Paradise. Every time they entered a derived world, a huge group would come with them to this world, which only protected such a person.
Back in Paradise, he had heard some rumors that such people could create blue-quality equipment.
But since it was a rumor, Su Xiao couldn't tell if it was all true.
— Ahhhh~, " Su Xiao sighed. He loved his sword and even got used to it, but in the near future, he would be forced to change his weapon, for his current sword was only a white weapon.
After polishing the sword, Su Xiao continued to rest on the chaise longue. His health parameter had recovered and reached 80%, and his most serious injuries had already stopped bothering him.
The Ghoul Control Department had given them medicines, and their effectiveness was very high, even though they were only of white quality.
The most important thing was that this medicine was provided to them just like that, not for contribution points, but they could only use it here and now. If Su Xiao wanted to take them with him, then he already needed to hand over the contribution points.
But since he was injured "at work", his treatment was paid for by his " employer».
After a two-day break, Su Xiao had generally recovered, and the injuries that hadn't healed could not affect his fighting ability in any way.
----
In Kisho's office, Arima was sitting at his desk.
— That's all. By the way, the last exploration brought a lot of benefits, the management highly appreciated our efforts.
Su Xiao's eyebrows rose.
— Reward?
— Oral gratitude.
Su Xiao's mouth twitched, the management of the Ghoul Control Department was surprisingly stingy.
— The next exploration will take place tomorrow morning. There will also be three of us, don't forget to prepare for this.
Exploring the 24th district was a matter of life and death, but Su Xiao didn't care, he needed to quickly get the Ghoul Control Office's contribution points.
*Knock, knock, knock*
There was a knock on the door and Kisho Arima asked the knocker to enter, and the door immediately opened.
— Arima, I'm sorry to bother you, Byakuya, there's a call for you, " a branch employee entered the office and respectfully handed the phone to Su Xiao.
Investigators had a high status in the Ghoul Control Department, and the status of investigators was a level higher than that of ordinary employees of the Department.
Su Xiao picked up the phone..
There was a commotion on the other end of the line, and Su Xiao heard someone say, " He was handed the phone».
— Byakuya, this is Itsuki Marude, I have some good news for you — " Itsuki Marude was very happy and clearly said it with a smile on his face.
— What's the good news?
— A temporary transfer order was issued. It concerns work in the 11th district, the management wants you to come and help.
On the other end of the line, Itsuki Marude tapped Yukinori Shinohara on the shoulder.
Few people knew what method they were using, but they were surprisingly able to influence the top management of the Ghoul Control Office.
— An order? I see, no problem.
Su Xiao agreed so easily because Heaven had given him a task.
[Factional Mission: Control the progress of the battle.
Difficulty Level: Level 4.
Mission Description: Help the "Emergency Team" in the battle with the "Aogiri Tree" and lead it to victory.
Additional information: The outcome of this mission will not affect the final score for completing the world.
Completion date: Until the end of the operation in district 11.
Completion Reward: 10,000 Contribution Points.
Penalty for refusal: None.]
This faction mission wasn't easy, but the reward was good, and he just needed the Ghoul Control Office's contribution points.
Su Xiao really wanted to get those two items from the 24th district store.
After hanging up, Su Xiao placed the phone on the table in front of Kisho Arima.
— It looks like I'll have to leave for a while, headquarters has temporarily moved me to another area to support the emergency team.
Kisho Arima nodded.
— No problem, the study of the 24th district can be postponed, but the operation in the 11th district can't.
Kisho Arima didn't stop him, but immediately agreed.
Half an hour later, Su Xiao was driving to the 20th district. Although the operation will take place in the 11th district, the collection point was located in the 20th district, since the branch of the Ghoul Control Department in the 11th district was captured.
