Reincarnation Paradise Park

Chapter 40: Chapter 8: The Unknown Plan

After bandaging the wound, Su Xiao was sweating profusely.

The pretty nurse glanced shyly at Su Xiao, then helped him with some anti-inflammatory medicine.

Both the wound dressing and the medicines were free, not because the nurse fancied Su Xiao, but due to CCG privileges.

First-Class Investigators even have the authority to deploy police to evacuate civilians.

”Mister Bai Ye, let’s go to the nearby branch to discuss your joining CCG.”

”No problem.”

Together with Shimohira Washitsu, the three drove to the CCG branch in District 20.

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

This was just a CCG branch, yet in Ikebukuro, it occupied a substantial area.

In the ghoul world, the force opposing the ghouls was the CCG, hence CCG’s status is evident. In the ordinary people’s mind, CCG is akin to a guardian angel.

This is indeed true; without CCG’s extensive cleanup of ghouls, humans would be extinct in no more than a hundred years.

What are ghouls? They are powerful creatures without natural predators, and humans being the only food source, their extinction is inevitable if ghoul numbers surge uncontrollably.

If ghoul numbers were half that of humans, humans would be extinct in less than a month.

However, the situation in District 20 is the opposite; humans live under the sun while ghouls hide everywhere, afraid to expose their identities, thanks largely to CCG.

Yet CCG has significant internal drawbacks, but Su Xiao doesn’t care about these; he’s joining CCG solely to facilitate his plan.

It’s early morning, yet the CCG branch is brightly lit.

Upon entering the CCG branch, a large security gate comes into view; anyone entering must go through this gate.

This gate isn’t merely for security; it’s an Rc cell detection gate. The Rc cell level in ghouls is dozens, even hundreds of times that of ordinary humans, thus preventing passage through this gate.

Of course, some extremely powerful ghouls can control their Rc cells, avoiding the detection gate through special means.

Su Xiao walked through the Rc cell detection gate with a calm expression.

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

Soon, Su Xiao was led by Amon Koutarou to a conference room.

”Mister Bai Ye, please wait.” Amon Koutarou said and left the room.

When Amon Koutarou returned to the conference room, he had a laptop in his hand.

The computer’s video function was on, showing a sleepy face on the screen.

Amon Koutarou placed the laptop before Su Xiao, and the person in the video spoke.

”Is this the guy who single-handedly repelled the King of the One-eyed?”

Upon seeing the person in the video, Su Xiao recognized him as Marutei, one of the seven First-Class Investigators in CCG.

Amon Koutarou actually contacted CCG high-level directly. If an ordinary person joins CCG, they wouldn’t receive such treatment. But Su Xiao’s feat of repelling Aet was indeed too impressive for CCG to ignore.

”It’s me.”

A silence fell between both sides.

”Regarding your joining CCG, we’ll need to assess it first.”

Su Xiao frowned. Seeing his attitude, Marutei continued.

”We can’t confirm your identity yet. Headquarters is rallying your information overnight; if no abnormalities are found, I can make an exception to let you join after combat effectiveness assessment.

Tonight, stay at the branch in District 20; food and lodging are covered.”

Su Xiao was somewhat troubled; he was teleported to the ghoul world by Reincarnation Paradise, and unless unexpected, he had no legal identity.

This puzzled him; if a legal identity was needed first, the main task would be too challenging.

The moment he entered the Derivative World, he encountered Kamishiro Rize, and immediately CCG appeared, giving him no time to forge an identity.

Reincarnation Paradise couldn’t issue impossible missions, there must be a shortcut.

”Paradise, can you forge an identity?” Su Xiao silently wondered in his heart.

Unexpectedly, Reincarnation Paradise promptly offered a few choices.

[Identity: Combat coach in a certain area, cost: 50 Paradise coin.]

[Identity: Ghoul, cost: 100 Paradise coin.]

[Identity: Family member of a deceased Ghoul Investigator, cost: 100 Paradise coin,]

...

Below these three options, there were many more, with varied Paradise coin costs.

This should be the prerequisite for joining a faction; despite CCG’s difficulty, most contractors are humans, making joining the ghouls daunting.

However, with Paradise’s disguise feature, things became simpler.

Joining a faction is merely the initial main task with no reward, so it’s not too difficult.

Su Xiao decisively chose ’Family member of a deceased Ghoul Investigator,’ a prepared identity for joining CCG.

[Hunter’s choice completed, Paradise coin automatically deducted.]

With a legal identity and Su Xiao’s formidable combat effectiveness, joining CCG posed no problem.

”Alright, I’ll await your response, but make it quick.”

Marutei nodded, his face showing weariness, yet he managed a smile.

This guy smiled mischievously, suggesting he wasn’t a rigid person.

The video closed, Amon Koutarou relaxed around Su Xiao; after all, this was a CCG branch.

Su Xiao sighed inwardly, indeed, one’s strength is paramount. Comparing his treatment joining the Guard Team in Pirate World to now, the contrast was stark.

”Mister Bai Ye, let’s have a meal together. If all goes well, we might be colleagues in the future.”

Su Xiao was also hungry, having consumed much stamina in the battle with Bronze Tree.

Agreeing to Amon Koutarou’s invitation, the two headed towards the dining area.

------------------

In the outer District 20, a shadow streaked across the withered grass, and upon confirming no one around, the shadow halted.

Red light flashed, a swath of bandages fluttering in the wind, Takatsuki Sen was weakened, falling to the ground after reverting from the Full Body Ghoul Speaker state.

”That guy~ what is he exactly? His combat experience is so rich.”

Takatsuki Sen has long blue-green hair, soft and draped over her shoulders, with that red eye giving her a peculiar beauty.

”Should I inform him? This sudden human might disrupt the plan that’s been in preparation for 13 years; it must not stop now.”

After five minutes, Takatsuki Sen transformed into a small girl wrapped in bandages, Aet.

-------------------

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

This has gradually become a habit for him, as he feels exceptionally peaceful while meditating.

Today’s battle brought abundant gains, not only obtaining a green treasure chest but also understanding the Shadow of Annihilation Law’s ability.

Though Shadow of Annihilation Law is officially said to restrain mages, Su Xiao found it’s not that simple.

Judging by how Blue Steel Shadow energy burnt Rc cells, this career is far more promising than he expected.

Not only in mage battles, but also fighting other enemies, the pain from energy burning affects foes similarly.

Moreover, Blue Steel Shadow’s true damage is particularly formidable.

If not for Blue Steel Shadow causing immense pain to Takatsuki Sen earlier, he couldn’t have gained an advantage so easily.

Currently, Blue Steel Shadow is only at Level 1; if its skill level upgrades in the future, his strikes will be harsh.

Simultaneously, Su Xiao became interested in other skills under Shadow of Annihilation Law.

Awakening from meditation, Su Xiao took out the green treasure chest dropped by Gecko, his heart carrying some anticipation.
