So which team are you going to choose?

Keke was a little confused by the two brothers' baffling actions.

Ye Yiqing smiled slightly, then turned to look at the two of them and answered.

" Special Investigation Squad."

"Huh?! Why?" Coco Keke very puzzled. With Ye Yiqing's Mingming, he could have been stationed in a team in Shangjing's City A, and might even have become the captain.

Why would you join a squad with such a high mortality rate?

"Hmm... because of Hela."

Hela: ⚆_⚆?

How does this concern me?

Keke's mind was in turmoil.

Even a fool could see that Ye Yiqing was clearly infatuated with love and only joined the Special Investigation Squad because he wanted to be on the same team as Hela.

Keke never expected that even Ye Yiqing would be so love-struck, but upon reflection, it's actually quite reasonable.

After all, the Special Investigation Squad isn't actually a particularly bad team; apart from being easy to kill, they're pretty good in every other way.

Joining this team doesn't mean my talent has been wasted.

"Hehe, I'm also from the Special Investigation Squad ~"

Ye Ciqing also came over and held out the application form to the two girls.

"Ah, then, who are you doing this for?"

Keke took a step back warily, crossing her arms over her chest.

"What are you thinking! I'm definitely my onii-chan, and I already have a girlfriend!"

Ye Ciqing grabbed Ye Yiqing's neck and glared at Keke.

Keke realized what she meant, scratched her head awkwardly, and said, "Haha, you're right..."

"Sigh, even the Special Investigation Squad probably didn't expect to recruit so many people this year."

"And the quality is so good, they're all in the top ten."

"Yeah, that's right..."

Seeing that she was the only one who hadn't chosen the Special Investigation Squad, Keke suddenly felt like an outsider.

My gaze unconsciously drifted to the Special Investigation Squad " option on the volunteer form.

Due to the high mortality rate and arduous nature of the Special Investigation Squad, the entry requirements for this team are actually the lowest among all teams.

Basically anyone can fill in this team on the application form, and there's a high chance they'll be accepted.

Looking at the form she had already filled out, Keke felt conflicted.

Still conflicted, the four of them arrived at the instructors' office building.

Just as I reached the door, I bumped into Han Xiaoxiao, who had just submitted her report.

Ye Yiqing met his gaze, and the other person immediately lowered his eyes, quickened his pace, and brushed past him.

Looking at Han Xiaoxiao's retreating figure, Ye Yiqing's eyes were filled with helplessness.

Clang clang clang--

"Enter!"

Upon opening the door, one sees Li Hu and Instructor Hongwei sitting in the office.

"Instructor, these are our volunteer forms." Ye Yiqing and Ye Ciqing handed the forms to Instructor Hongwei.

"Um?"

Instructor Hongwei took it and examined it, then frowned.

"Are you three sure you're joining the Special Investigation Squad?"

"Yes, I'm sure."

"Wherever Onii-chan goes, I'll go too~"

"OK." Hela nodded.

Hongwei stroked his chin and looked at Chief Instructor Li Hu.

After receiving the other party's nod of agreement, Instructor Hongwei didn't say anything more and stamped the three application forms.

"Fine, you three aren't going to die that easily anyway, so you might as well join."

"You speak so sweetly..." Ye Ciqing muttered softly behind Ye Yiqing, but Hongwei still heard it clearly.

Hey! You want me to give you one last beating, don't you?!

After saying that, he rolled up his sleeves, ready to get to work.

"Onii-chan, save me!" Ye Ciqing buried his head in his brother's back.

Ye Yiqing quickly intervened, "Alright, Instructor, he's still young and doesn't understand much. I'll give him a good talking to when we get back."

"You should get some rest too, don't let it spoil your mood."

Upon hearing this, Hongwei sat down again and then noticed Coco, who hadn't submitted her application Keke yet.

" Han Keru, when are you going to hand it in? If you haven't thought it through, go back and think about it carefully."

"Uh, ah! No need, I've already made up my mind."

After a moment's internal struggle, Keke still handed in her unedited college application form.

After all, the world is vast, but life is the most important thing!

Joining another team would at least give me a chance to see Hela and the others.

But if you join Special Investigation Squad, you might die on your first mission.

After a quick glance, Hongwei stamped the seal.

"Alright, you can go back and wait for further notice." After handing the four forms to Li Hu, he waved for everyone to leave.

"Hey, wait!" Li Hu suddenly called out to everyone again, then beckoned to Ye Yiqing, "Come here."

"What's wrong, Instructor?" Ye Yiqing walked over slowly, already guessing why he had been called over.

Li Hu piled the forms aside, then carefully took a black samurai sword, scabbard and all, from the cabinet and handed it to him.

"Here, your knife. See if it's exactly the same as the one I had before I took it."

Looking at the neat scabbard and handle, Ye Yiqing slowly drew the knife.

The blade remained sharp, its smooth surface even reflecting Ye Yiqing's image while wearing an eye patch.

"Thank you, instructor."

Sheathing the knife, Ye Yiqing bowed at a 45-degree angle to Li Hu.

"Hey, you're still as lovable as ever."

Li Hu smiled as he looked at Ye Yiqing.

"You are the most promising and strongest person I've ever trained in all my years as an instructor, especially among those without superpowers."

"You'll have to work hard from now on, so I can look good!"

"Yes, I will, Instructor." Ye Yiqing nodded with a smile.

"And another thing..." Li Hu suddenly asked Ye Yiqing to come closer and whispered something in his ear.

"When you and Hela get married, remember to invite us instructors so we can have some wedding candy."

Ye Yiqing's smiling face immediately turned red.

"Okay, thank you, instructor. If there's nothing else, we'll be going now."

Ye Yiqing thanked the two instructors hurriedly, clearly flustered, and then quickly pushed the three of them away from there.

Seeing the group leave, Li Hu grinned slyly.

"This kid, I finally saw him panic for once."

Seeing this, Instructor Hongwei smiled with satisfaction, then suddenly thought of something and turned to ask.

"By the way, Ye Yiqing and Han Xiaoxiao were arguing downstairs just now, why didn't you let me stop them?"

Instructor Li Hu remained silent for a moment before slowly beginning to explain.

"Because my thoughts are the same as Ye Yiqing's; neither of us wants Han Xiaoxiao to become Night Star."

"Just as Ye Yiqing said, people with disabilities do have their own inconveniences, and they are indeed not as good as ordinary people when encountering some emergencies."

"Besides, she doesn't have any special abilities."

"But as an instructor, my duty is to provide fresh blood for the Night Star, so I can't directly refuse her."

"Therefore, we can only rely on Ye Yiqing."

Looking at Han Xiaoxiao's application form with the official stamp, Li Hu sighed helplessly.

"Sigh, but I didn't expect this girl to be so persistent. Ye Yiqing had already put in so much effort, yet she still insisted on joining."

Hongwei nodded, but his expression didn't seem as melancholy as Li Hu's.

"I think if she wants to join, then let her join."

Hongwei turned to look at Li Hu seriously, "There are always some birds that yearn for freedom and cannot be confined in a cage."

" Han Xiaoxiao is that kind of bird, except that what she craves isn't freedom."

"Hey, you're even spouting philosophy now!"

Li Hu chuckled and joked, then fell silent.
