Unknown Plan

After his wound had been bandaged, Su Xiao's face was covered in cold sweat.

The beautiful young nurse glanced timidly at Su Xiao, then even helped him get some anti-inflammatory medicine.

Both the bandaging and the medicine were free. It wasn't that the young nurse was interested in Su Xiao; this was one of the CCG's privileges.

A Senior Investigator even had the authority to mobilize the police to evacuate civilians.

"Mr. Byakuya, let's go. We can discuss your joining the CCG at a nearby branch."

"No problem."

Together with Mado Kureo, the three of them drove to the CCG branch in Ward 20.

Half an hour later, Su Xiao arrived in front of a magnificent building.

This was only one of the CCG's branches, but it occupied a considerable area in Nerima Ward.

In the Ghoul world, the CCG was the force that fought against Ghouls. Its status was therefore obvious. In the eyes of ordinary civilians, the CCG was practically a guardian deity.

And that was indeed the case. Without the CCG's large-scale extermination of Ghouls, humanity would have gone extinct within a hundred years.

What were Ghouls? They were powerful creatures without natural enemies. Since humans were their only food, extinction was inevitable if their numbers continued to grow unchecked.

If the number of Ghouls reached half the human population, humanity would be wiped out in less than a month.

But the situation in Ward 20 was the opposite. Humans lived beneath the sunlight, while Ghouls hid everywhere and didn't dare reveal their identities. The CCG deserved enormous credit for this.

The CCG also had major flaws, but Su Xiao didn't care about them. He was joining the CCG simply because it would make completing his plan easier.

It was the middle of the night, yet the CCG branch was brightly lit.

As he entered the CCG branch, the first thing he saw was a large security gate. Anyone who wanted to enter the CCG branch had to pass through it.

It wasn't actually a security gate, but an Rc Cell detection gate. The Rc Cell content in a Ghoul's body was dozens or even hundreds of times higher than that of an ordinary person, so Ghouls couldn't pass through it.

Of course, there were exceptions. Some exceptionally powerful Ghouls had already learned to control the Rc Cells in their bodies, allowing them to bypass the Rc Cell detection gate through special methods.

Su Xiao walked through the Rc Cell detection gate with an unchanged expression.

"Beep~" The green light came on, and Amon Koutarou behind him breathed a sigh of relief.

Soon, Amon Koutarou brought Su Xiao to a conference room.

"Mr. Byakuya, please wait." After saying that, Amon Koutarou left the conference room.

When Amon Koutarou entered the conference room again, he was carrying a laptop.

The computer's video function was already active. A sleepy face appeared on the Screen.

Amon Koutarou placed the computer in front of Su Xiao, and the person in the video spoke.

"So this is the ruthless man who single-handedly repelled the One-Eyed King?"

Seeing the person in the video, Su Xiao recognized him: Marude Shuu, one of the CCG's seven Special Class Investigators.

Amon Koutarou had actually contacted the CCG's higher-ups directly. An ordinary person joining the CCG would never receive such treatment, but Su Xiao's feat of single-handedly repelling Takatsuki Sen had been far too impressive for the CCG to ignore.

"That's me."

The two sides fell silent.

"As for your joining the CCG, we'll need to assess you first."

Su Xiao frowned. Seeing his attitude, Marude Shuu continued.

"We still can't confirm your identity. Headquarters is currently gathering your records overnight. If nothing unusual turns up, I can make an exception and let you join the CCG after a combat assessment.

"Tonight, you can stay at the Ward 20 branch. We'll provide food and lodging."

Su Xiao felt a headache coming on. He had been transported to the Ghoul world by Reincarnation Paradise, and if nothing unexpected happened, he had no legal identity.

This left him puzzled. If he needed to obtain a legal identity first, then the Main Quest's difficulty was far too high.

At the beginning of the Derivative World, he had encountered Rize Kamishiro, and the CCG had appeared right afterward. He hadn't been given any time to forge an identity.

Reincarnation Paradise could not issue an impossible quest. There had to be a shortcut.

"Paradise, can you forge an identity?" Su Xiao silently asked in his heart.

Unexpectedly, Reincarnation Paradise immediately provided several options.

Identity: Martial Arts Coach in a Certain Region. Cost: 50 Paradise Coins.

Identity: Ghoul. Cost: 100 Paradise Coins.

Identity: Family Member of a Deceased Ghoul Investigator. Cost: 100 Paradise Coins.

Below these three options was a long list of additional choices, with varying Paradise Coin costs.

This should be the prerequisite for joining a faction. Setting aside the difficulty of joining the CCG, most Contractors were human, and joining the Ghouls was practically impossible.

But with Reincarnation Paradise's disguise function, things became simple.

Joining a faction was merely the initial Main Quest. There was no reward, so the difficulty wasn't high either.

Su Xiao decisively chose "Family Member of a Deceased Ghoul Investigator." This identity had been prepared specifically for joining the CCG.

Hunter's selection complete. Paradise Coins have been deducted automatically.

With a legal identity and Su Xiao's formidable combat strength, there would be no problem with joining the CCG.

"All right. I'll wait for your answer, but make it quick."

Marude Shuu nodded. Although his face was full of fatigue, he still forced out a smile.

His smile was roguish and carefree, making it obvious that he wasn't the rigid type.

The video call ended, and Amon Koutarou was no longer wary of Su Xiao. After all, this was a CCG branch.

Su Xiao sighed inwardly. As expected, one's own strength was the most important thing. He thought back to the treatment he had received when he joined the Guard Corps in the One Piece World, then compared it with now. The difference was like heaven and earth.

"Mr. Byakuya, why don't you join me for a meal? If nothing unexpected happens, we may be colleagues from now on."

Su Xiao was a little hungry too. His battle with the Aogiri Tree earlier had consumed a considerable amount of stamina.

After accepting Amon Koutarou's invitation, the two headed toward the dining hall.

In the outskirts of Ward 20, a black shadow swept across the withered grass. After confirming that no one was nearby, the shadow stopped.

Red light flashed. Large swaths of bandages fluttered in the wind as the Kakuja state was dispelled. Takatsuki Sen was clearly weak and collapsed onto the ground.

"That guy~ What kind of person is he? His combat experience is far too rich."

Takatsuki Sen had long, blue-green hair that fell smoothly over her shoulders. Her red eye gave her a peculiar beauty.

"Should I inform him? This human who appeared out of nowhere might disrupt the plan. It has been in preparation for thirteen years. I absolutely can't let it be interrupted now."

Five minutes later, Takatsuki Sen transformed into a little girl covered in bandages: Eto.

In the quiet bedroom, Su Xiao sat cross-legged on the bed, meditating.

This had gradually become a habit of his. Whenever he meditated, he felt exceptionally calm.

Today's battle had yielded a great deal for Su Xiao. Not only had he obtained a green Treasure Chest, but he had also gained a clearer understanding of the Shadow of Law Destruction's abilities.

The Shadow of Law Destruction was nominally designed to counter Mages, but Su Xiao had discovered that it was definitely not that simple.

Judging from Blue Steel Shadow's ability to burn Rc Cells, this class had far more potential than he had imagined.

It wasn't only effective against Mages. When fighting other enemies, the pain caused by their energy burning would also affect them.

Moreover, Blue Steel Shadow's true damage was exceptionally powerful.

If Blue Steel Shadow hadn't inflicted tremendous pain on Takatsuki Sen earlier, he couldn't have gained the upper hand so easily.

Blue Steel Shadow was only Level One for now. If he raised its skill level in the future, taking one of his strikes would definitely be no pleasant experience.

At the same time, Su Xiao had also become interested in the Shadow of Law Destruction's other skills.

Awakening from meditation, Su Xiao took out the green Treasure Chest dropped by Gecko, unable to suppress his anticipation.

Updates will be on time.
