The next morning, under a shady spot in the park of the District 20 Branch.
Su Xiao supported himself on the ground with one hand, maintaining a handstand posture.
"543, 544, 545..."
Su Xiao was doing one-handed handstand push-ups, training his arm strength.
Sweat dripped down his cheeks, and there was already a small puddle beneath him.
Although Reincarnation Paradise could enhance attribute values, Su Xiao never slacked off on his own training.
When experiencing the feeling of gradually growing stronger, most people would beco addicted to it.
Just imagine, feeling stronger every day, how delightful that would be.
"Bai Ye first-class, soone is looking for you."
A male investigator walked in front of Su Xiao, and he didn’t recognize this person.
Su Xiao exerted force in his arms, and his body stood upright.
"Who?"
"First-Class Investigator Arima!"
Upon ntioning the title "First-Class Investigator Arima," the investigator showed a look of admiration.
"First-Class Investigator Arima, huh? Got it, where is he?"
After learning Arima Kishou’s location, Su Xiao picked up his shirt from beside him and left the park.
Unexpectedly, the person he was waiting for turned out to be Arima Kishou.
In the branch’s dining hall, Su Xiao was eating the food in front of him voraciously.
Sitting across from Su Xiao was a man with a handso appearance, white hair, and wearing glasses.
He was Arima Kishou, CCG’s strongest investigator.
"So, you’re my superior now?"
Su Xiao finished the last bite of his breakfast and looked up at Arima Kishou.
"Yes, you’ve been temporarily transferred to the Zero Squad, responsible for the 24th District exploration work."
Arima Kishou’s tone was flat, a stoic god-like figure.
Su Xiao thought for a while.
He still had 12 days of free action ti; the 24th District, although dangerous, was also a good place.
To beco stronger quickly, one needs to take risks, as the iron law of Reincarnation Paradise states that there is no reward without sacrifice.
"When do we set off?"
"Now."
The first impression Su Xiao gave was murderous; his re 3 points in Charm pointed this out.
And Arima Kishou belonged to the stoic type, so their communication was very simple and clear.
Arima Kishou did not propose to test Su Xiao’s strength; being able to clean up District 14 already testified to his power.
Su Xiao followed Arima Kishou away from the District 20 CCG branch and drove towards the 24th District.
The 24th District was located at the edge of Tokyo, classifying it as a suburb of Tokyo.
To be precise, the 24th District was a piece of wilderness, with the real 24th District being underground.
In the eting room of the District 20 Branch, Marutei stood by the window, watching the vehicle in the distance, and sighed.
"In the end, he left. If the Black Death God were to join this operation..."
Marutei’s expression was sowhat downcast.
"Ah Wan, it’s okay, I might have an idea."
Yukinori Shinohara patted Marutei on the shoulder, watching the vehicle in the distance, unclear of his thoughts.
"An idea? Let’s hear it."
Marutei looked at Yukinori Shinohara in surprise.
Yukinori Shinohara gave a mysterious smile and leaned close to Marutei’s ear, whispering sothing.
"Yes, just like that, I couldn’t tell, Shinohara, you could think of such a thod."
Yukinori Shinohara’s face turned black, speechlessly looking at Marutei.
---------------
In the 24th District, a CCG bulletproof vehicle was parked in a patch of weeds.
"This is the place."
Arima Kishou got out first, Su Xiao followed suit.
A hole, with a diater of over ten ters wide, appeared in front of Su Xiao.
This was an entrance leading underground, pitch black inside, emitting faint wailing sounds, like the cries of ghosts.
That was the sound of the wind, indicating a large underground space.
"Yuna, introduce the situation of the 24th District to Bai Ye first-class."
A beautiful lady, appearing like a student, got out from the driver’s seat.
This lady nad Yuna was about 18 or 19 years old, with long black hair, wearing a white sailor uniform, her chest only slightly protruding, and holding two Quinque boxes in her hands.
Yuna glanced at Su Xiao, cleared her throat.
It was clear she was also a cold individual.
"The 24th District, we call it the Underground Maze, to this day, we have been unable to completely explore the 24th District.
In the 24th District, there are nurous flesh walls..."
Su Xiao was a bit puzzled, the flesh walls underground in the 24th District, he had only heard a little, not knowing their specific look, only understanding scraps of information.
"Yes, flesh walls, they are flesh walls made from Kakuhou, sowhat similar to the technology used in making Quinque.
It is precisely because of these flesh walls that the difficulty of exploring the 24th District has drastically increased..."
Yuna began to detail the situation in the 24th District.
In summary, the current team exploring the 24th District consists of three people: Arima Kishou, Su Xiao, and Yuna.
As for the other mbers of the Zero Squad, they were all reassigned by the headquarters due to Su Xiao’s arrival.
Headquarters explained that dispersing combat power across various areas was necessary given the unstable current circumstances.
Although Yuna appeared fragile, she was a Quasi-Special Investigator.
"These are the materials on the 24th District, we’re just passing by here now, giving you a rough introduction. The action will start in the afternoon."
The three of them stood silently in place, Su Xiao couldn’t help but wonder if they were just going to stand here until the afternoon.
Finally, Yuna spoke first.
"You two, are you planning to stand here?"
Arima Kishou didn’t speak and directly got into the car.
Su Xiao looked at Yuna, and Yuna looked at Su Xiao, the two big eyes staring at each other.
"To, the, tem, por, ar, y, branch~."
Yuna slowly pronounced the words, her tone a bit peculiar.
Through brief interaction, Su Xiao found that his assessnt of Yuna was wrong.
This beautiful investigator was not cold but slightly neurotic, unpredictable in mood.
Five minutes later, the three arrived at the temporary branch, which was a three-story villa.
This was the temporary resting place for investigators in the 24th District; there were very few investigators now, only Su Xiao and the other two.
Walking into the branch, Su Xiao saw so busy staff mbers.
Apart from these staff, there were no other investigators in the branch, making the temporary branch seem a bit deserted.
"No need to look, other than newcors coming for training, there are only the three of us investigators here."
Yuna’s attitude changed from cold to enthusiastic.
"At what ti exactly do we explore the 24th District?"
While observing his surroundings, Su Xiao noted that the structure here was simple, with the only important departnts being logistics and information investigation.
The logistics departnt should provide various supplies, and the information investigation departnt records the situation of the 24th District.
"We’ll depart at one in the afternoon, the dining hall is inside, and there is your accommodation."
As soon as she finished speaking, Yuna’s pale face suddenly moved close to Su Xiao’s face, her pretty nose twitching.
"I sll blood, I like the scent on you."
Su Xiao’s mouth twitched, this woman was a complete replica of Shuuzou Suzuya, even more neurotic than Shuuzou Suzuya.
Ignoring this neurotic girl, Su Xiao walked to the logistics departnt’s window; he had received a notification from Reincarnation Paradise earlier.
[Notice: You have entered a special area, the temporary branch of the 24th District.]
[Notice: The temporary branch of the 24th District is a hidden area; in the logistics departnt of the temporary branch, you can exchange items using CCG Contribution Value.]
Su Xiao was curious about what items he could exchange in the logistics departnt.
"Bai Ye first-class, welco to the logistics departnt. Our items are all of superior quality and fair price, but they are by no ans free."
A skinny old man with small round sunglasses looked at Su Xiao from inside the window, grinning full of guile.
Su Xiao was a bit dumbfounded; was this really the logistics departnt of the CCG branch? It felt like he had wandered into a store.
As the skinny old man spoke, a list of items appeared in front of Su Xiao.
Seeing the first item on the list, Su Xiao’s eyes seed to ignite with flas.
The dazzling blue glow was sothing he had never seen before.
At that mont, Su Xiao felt extrely grateful for being able to co to the 24th District, a gratitude beyond words.
