We’ll discuss your joining CCG at the nearby branch.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No problem.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Together with Shinohara Gō, the three drove to the CCG branch in Area 20.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half an hour later, Su Xiao arrived before a grand building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was merely one of CCG’s branches, yet it occupied a considerable area in Nerima Ward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the ghoul world, the force opposing ghouls was CCG; thus, CCG’s status was obvious—it was seen by ordinary people as a protective deity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, without CCG’s massive clearance of ghouls, humanity would be extinct within a century.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ghouls were powerful creatures with no natural predators, and humans, as their sole food source, would inevitably face extinction if ghoul numbers surged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If ghoul numbers were half those of humans, humanity would be extinct within a month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now in Area 20, the situation was reversed: humans lived under sunlight, while ghouls hid in shadows, afraid to reveal their identities—CCG’s doing was indispensable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet CCG had serious internal flaws, but Su Xiao didn’t care—he joined CCG only because it facilitated his plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was midnight, yet the CCG branch glowed brightly with lights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Entering the CCG branch, the first thing visible was a large security checkpoint; to enter, one must pass through this gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn’t merely a security gate—it was an RC cell detector. Ghouls had RC cell concentrations ten to a hundred times higher than ordinary humans, making passage impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, certain extremely powerful ghouls could control their RC cells and bypass the detector through special means.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao walked through the RC cell detector with a calm expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ding~.” The green light lit up; behind him, Amon Kōtaro exhaled in relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Su Xiao was led by Amon Kōtaro into a conference room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Byakuya, please wait.” Amon Kōtaro left the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Amon Kōtaro returned, he carried a laptop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The laptop’s screen displayed a face half-asleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amon Kōtaro placed the laptop before Su Xiao; the person on the video spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is this the man who single-handedly drove back the One-Eyed King?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the person on the screen, Su Xiao recognized him—Maruji Saitō, one of CCG’s seven Special Class Investigators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amon Kōtaro had directly contacted CCG’s upper echelon. No ordinary applicant would receive such treatment, but Su Xiao’s feat of defeating Takatsuki Izumi alone was too formidable for CCG to ignore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence fell between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We need to evaluate your application for joining CCG.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao frowned. Sensing his attitude, Maruji Saitō continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We cannot yet confirm your identity. Headquarters has already pulled your files overnight. If there are no anomalies, after a combat assessment, I can make an exception and allow you to join CCG.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stay overnight at the Area 20 branch. Meals and lodging are provided.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao felt a headache coming—he had been transported to the ghoul world by the Lunhuileyuan . Unless something went wrong, he had no legal identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This puzzled him—if he needed a legal identity first, the main quest’s difficulty was absurdly high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the start of this derivative world, he encountered Shinomiya Risette, and CCG agents appeared immediately—there was no time to forge an identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lunhuileyuan  would never issue an impossible quest. There must be a shortcut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Paradise, can I forge an identity?” Su Xiao thought silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To his surprise, the Lunhuileyuan  immediately offered several options.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Identity: Martial Arts Instructor of a Certain Region, Cost: 50 Park Coins.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Identity: Ghoul, Cost: 100 Park Coins.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Identity: Family Member of a Deceased Ghoul Investigator, Cost: 100 Park Coins.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Below these three options were many more, with varying Park Coin costs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were likely prerequisites for joining any faction. Regardless of how hard joining CCG was, most Contracted Ones were human—joining ghouls was nearly impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with the Lunhuileyuan ’s disguise function, things became simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Joining a faction was merely the initial main quest, offering no rewards, so difficulty was low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao decisively chose “Family Member of a Deceased Ghoul Investigator”—this identity was made for joining CCG.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Hunter’s Choice Completed. Park Coins Automatically Deducted.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a legal identity and his own formidable combat power, joining CCG posed no problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, I’ll wait for your reply—but make it quick.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maruji Saitō nodded, his face weary but forcing a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man’s grin was rakish—he clearly wasn’t rigid or stuffy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The video ended. Amon Kōtaro no longer regarded Su Xiao with suspicion—this was, after all, a CCG branch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao sighed inwardly. Indeed, strength mattered most. His treatment when joining the Royal Guard in the Pirate World contrasted sharply with this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Byakuya, come have dinner with us. If nothing changes, we may be colleagues from now on.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao was hungry too—he’d expended considerable energy fighting the Bronze Tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He accepted Amon Kōtaro’s invitation, and the two headed toward the cafeteria.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside Area 20, a shadow darted across dry grass. Once certain no one was around, it stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flash of red light, and long strips of bandages fluttered in the wind; at their center appeared a petite figure with ample breasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The figure was Takatsuki Izumi, who had just fought Su Xiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After shedding her Kaku form, Takatsuki Izumi was visibly weakened, collapsing to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That guy~… who the hell is he? His battle experience is too refined.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Takatsuki Izumi had long, silky green hair cascading over her shoulders; her crimson eye granted her an eerie beauty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Should I notify him? This sudden human might disrupt the plan. Thirteen years of preparation—cannot be halted now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Takatsuki Izumi picked up the bandages and wrapped them tightly around her alluring body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five minutes later, Takatsuki Izumi transformed into a small girl wrapped in bandages—Aitō.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a quiet bedroom, Su Xiao sat cross-legged on the bed, meditating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This had gradually become his habit—he felt unusually calm during meditation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today’s battle brought Su Xiao rich rewards: not only a green treasure chest, but also a clear understanding of the Shadow of Annihilation’s abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Officially, the Shadow of Annihilation was designed to counter mages, but Su Xiao realized it was far more complex than that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given that Qinggangyingsuo could burn RC cells, this class held far greater potential than he’d imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only did it affect mages—when fighting other enemies, the pain caused by burned energy also impacted them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Qinggangyingsuo’s true damage was exceptionally potent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had Qinggangyingsuo not inflicted immense pain on Takatsuki Izumi earlier, he could never have gained the upper hand so easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, Qinggangyingsuo was only Level One. If its skills leveled up later, his slash would be unbearable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao also grew curious about Qinggangyingsuo’s other skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Awakening from meditation, Su Xiao pulled out the green treasure chest dropped by the Gecko, his anticipation rising.\u003C\u002Fp>",1176,"2026-06-19T23:49:42.795Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","e19093c5a0d4c13c470f004c157bd466da70eac3dcb3d4a86c175cf8fb7e8aab","paradise-of-reincarnation-chapter-41","paradise-of-reincarnation-chapter-39",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fparadise-of-reincarnation-cover.jpg"]
