Chapter 28: The Cute Little Guy (Ch 28)

Ue Gun himself was once the top graduate of the “Ghoul Investigator Training School” and the only one in the “Zero Squad” who graduated from the “Academy” and was promoted.

He is a pure genius among humans. At the age of 24, he is already a quasi-special officer and will be promoted to a special investigator soon.

“Because of the characteristics of the maze, the terrain here is undoubtedly more conducive to ghouls, and ghouls may appear and attack you at any time. Although we will try our best to protect you, we can’t be careless.”

Yujingun continued to remind Tianyu Baiye and others.

“OK.”

Tianyu Baiye and others nodded to show that they understood.

Next, everyone gradually went deeper into the underground maze.

It is not easy to encounter ghouls in the shallow layers of the maze, because CCG investigators have explored Area 24 countless times, especially Arima Kishou, the “invincible god of death” who has been leading the “Zero Squad” to expel ghouls in Area 24 for a long time.

The CCG even uses this place as a place to train new recruits. Most trainees will be arranged to intern in District 24, led by experienced third-class investigators.

The so-called “upper three classes” refer to the three levels of investigators: upper class, quasi-special class, and special class. As for the third class, second class, and first class, they belong to the “lower three classes of investigators.”

Ghoul investigators go in and out of Area 24 almost every day, so few ghouls dare to stay in the shallow levels of the maze.

At the beginning, the atmosphere was quite light and there was no sense of tension.

Yi Bing Shi Huang even came over to talk to Tian Yu Bai Ye, “Let me introduce myself to you. My name is Yi Bing Shi Huang.”

Emperor Yibingshi has a friendly and cute smile on his face. He is lively and cheerful by nature, and as innocent as a child.

Oh no, Emperor Yibingshi was originally a child, but if we were to calculate his normal human lifespan, he should be considered to be at least 20 years old.

Not only do half-humans have much stronger physical fitness than normal humans, they also develop much faster than normal humans and have a very fast metabolism, which is probably why half-humans have a shorter lifespan.

“Hello, but what should I call you?”

Tianyu Baiye suddenly realized that he didn’t know how to address Yi Bingshihuang.

Because Emperor Yibing is too young, it would be strange to call him “Mr. Yibing”. In addition, the original book does not seem to mention the rank of Emperor Yibing’s investigator. Otherwise, titles such as “Senior Yibing” and “First-class Yibing” would be the most standard.

“This is easy, just call me the Emperor.”

Emperor Yibingshi said with a smile.

“Okay, then I will call you Shi Huang from now on.”

Tianyu Baiye suddenly felt that Yibing Shihuang was really easy to get along with.

Although she looks so cute, she is a boy. But wouldn’t it be better to say that she is a cute boy?

Of course, this is a joke. Seriously speaking, there is no harm in getting to know such a cute and capable little boy.

Even though Ibe Shihuang is the youngest, he actually expelled the most ghouls among the “Zero Squad Junior Trio”. Regardless of whether his specific strength is the strongest among the junior trio, he is definitely much stronger than the average ghoul investigator.

[Ding! The host has become friends with Emperor Yibing, and received a reward: 2 Fusion Points! ]

After chatting for a while, Tianyu Baiye easily became friends with Yi Bing Shihuang.

Monk Torikai is relatively taciturn, and Arima Xisaku is also a quiet and introverted person, so naturally they would not take the initiative to chat with Tianyu Baiye, a stranger.

At this moment, Arima Takashi suddenly raised his hand and signaled everyone to stop.

Everyone stopped immediately.

Arima Takashi said calmly: “A ghoul has appeared…”

However, he had no intention of making a move, and he did not open the white briefcase in his hand. This briefcase was specially used to store “Quinke”.

Tianyu Baiye has also seen the figures of ghouls looming in the darkness ahead, and there are three ghouls that can be seen.

Ue-gun immediately reminded the trainees including Tian Yu Bai Ye: “You guys will deal with those ghouls first. Work in pairs. If anything unexpected happens, we will help you.”

The rule in CCG is basically that the top three-rank investigators are paired with the bottom three-rank investigators. For example, first-rank investigator Amon Kotaro is paired with top-rank investigator Mado Wusuo.

This is done now to allow newcomers to adapt to the feeling of cooperating with their partners in battle in advance.

It goes without saying that Anjiu Heina will be partnered with Anjiu Nabai, and the two boys who are more familiar with each other will also be partners together.

Only Tianyu Baiye and Suzuya Juuzou are left, and they have no choice.

However, Suzuya Juuzo didn’t expect anyone to cooperate with him, so he planned to go it alone.

But at this moment, Tian Yu Bai Ye took the initiative to say to Suzuya Juzo: “Suzuya-san, we are partners now. I will leave the back of that guy to you later.”

While speaking, he pointed his finger at one of the ghouls who was most hostile to them.

Suzuya Juuzou’s face was slightly shocked, but he quickly came to his senses and showed a somewhat ferocious smile on his face, “Okay.”

It seems that fighting is when he is most interested.

After getting the response from Suzuya Juuzou, Ameba Byakuya launched an attack immediately. His sudden burst of speed was astonishingly fast, which was brought to him by Madara’s physical skills.

Byakuya Amane and Juuzo Suzuya had already locked onto their target, and the Anku sisters were not to be outdone and attacked another ghoul. The third ghoul was naturally left to the two boys.

Arima Kisho and others were watching from the sidelines. If they found that the strength of the ghouls the students were dealing with exceeded the internship standard, or if a dangerous situation occurred, they would intervene.

If I have to give an example, it would probably be that only B-rank ghouls are assigned to the students.

According to the CCG’s standard for assessing the danger level of ghouls, those who can use kagune are at least B-rank ghouls. Conversely, ghouls below B-rank cannot use kagune.

A ghoul that is too weak is meaningless for a trainee’s internship, and one that is too strong is definitely not good either, so a B-level ghoul is just right.

“He’s really fast. Is the quality of the new recruits we’re given this time so high?”

The speed of Tianyu Baiye’s initial outburst had already surprised Yui County.

They had naturally trained several batches of newcomers, but Tianyu Baiye was the first newcomer who brought him such a sense of surprise.
