One thousand minus seven equals what?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A grotesquely shrill cry rang out above the Contractees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Will Jin Muyan die?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huobao swallowed hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Probably not—he’s the protagonist, after all.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huobao and Han Yu fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind the Contractees stood a little girl—Xi Luoluo, the girl dressed as Connor who had traded with Su Xiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xi Luoluo’s current position, and the Contractees’ dismissive attitude toward her, suggested she held a low status in Han Yu’s squad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Has that freak from the CCG faction done anything recently?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huobao asked casually, but Han Yu froze at the question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No activity.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Han Yu spoke, he secretly transmitted a message to Huobao via his mark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘That guy wiped out all the Ghouls in District 14.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huobao’s body stiffened; shock surged through him—eradicating all Ghouls in a district? What did that even mean?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huobao understood Han Yu’s intent: the fewer Contractees who knew this, the better—it would crush their faction’s morale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both Han Yu and Huobao deliberately limited how much intelligence they shared with their squad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Information superiority reinforced their leader’s authority and let them secure more benefits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People are selfish, and Han Yu and Huobao had formed a temporary squad, not a permanent one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Exploiting Contractees within temporary squads was an unspoken rule among all squad leaders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those exploited Contractees knew it too—but they had no choice; without joining a temporary squad, they couldn’t survive the derivative world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The counter-mission hasn’t started yet—how’s your main quest going? Mine’s over 50% done.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huobao changed the subject.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not bad—Ghoul Investigators are hard to find; scattered ones are too few. Most of my people are around 40% done.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After today, we’ve got twelve days left. District 11’s plot is about to begin—that’s a perfect opportunity.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Yu sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao’s mission was to expel Ghouls; Han Yu’s group’s was to kill Investigators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, compared to expelling Ghouls, they needed to kill far fewer Investigators—each only needed to kill five.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the number of Investigators to kill matched the number of Ghouls, even wiping out every Investigator in Tokyo might not complete the mission—Investigators were far too scarce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xi Luoluo, overhearing their conversation, felt deeply frustrated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had paid, yet Han Yu didn’t care about her progress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even now, her kill count remained zero; Han Yu’s exact words had been: “Don’t rush—plenty of chances later.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Xi Luoluo sensed sharply that Han Yu might renege.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though she had paid and signed a contract, if someone had ill intent, her contract wouldn’t protect her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The contract only required Han Yu to help her complete the mission and try to protect her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The word “try” left ample room for loopholes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Xi Luoluo died, the contract would be void—Han Yu would lose only some Paradise Coins, an amount he could afford.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Painful, but not crippling—otherwise Han Yu wouldn’t have signed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under normal circumstances, Han Yu wouldn’t do this—but Su Xiao’s presence had put immense pressure on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Yu no longer cared about Xi Luoluo’s Paradise Coins, let alone her life or death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With powerful enemies outside, every Contractee harbored hidden agendas—even Han Yu and Huobao, supposedly allied, were likely scheming against each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>District 20, CCG branch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After receiving the headquarters’ order, Su Xiao headed to the District 20 CCG branch—the two districts were close, District 14 bordering District 20, easily reachable by car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing before the branch building, Su Xiao stretched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously weighed down by the main quest, he had been tense; now, he could complete it anytime, and he felt a little lighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was five in the afternoon; the sunlight was soft, bathing the surroundings in warm pale gold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The horizon blazed with crimson clouds; in the park beside the branch, elderly people sipped tea or chatted idly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Perfect day for training.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since entering the Ghoul world, Su Xiao had been in constant high-intensity combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he had been learning combat techniques in the Cycle Paradise, now he was putting them into practice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After iron-and-blood practice, Su Xiao felt his swordsmanship had slightly improved; the sensation described by Geng Silang—that the blade had become an extension of his body—grew clearer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“White Night-san~~.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A white figure rushed toward him; Su Xiao instinctively reached for Zhanlongshan—then recognized the familiar face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shizao.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao smiled faintly; he held a favorable impression of Suzuya Shizao—they had fought together and shared some camaraderie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Friendship forged in battle surpassed all others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“White Night-san~, why are you here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m looking for someone—and don’t call me White Night-san. Just call me White Night.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he was looking for someone, he didn’t know exactly whom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I got lost earlier—is this the District 20 branch? I’ve been searching all afternoon.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“White Night-san~, White Night~, do you know where the conference room is?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao nodded and led Suzuya Shizao into the branch—he had visited the District 20 CCG branch before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as they entered the conference room, Su Xiao sensed something was off; everyone he passed stared at him as if he were a rare creature—some female Investigators even secretly pulled out phones to take photos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the District 20 branch’s conference room:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maru Tei, a Special-Class Investigator, was chairing a meeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dozens of Investigators sat inside; excluding Maru Tei, there were two Special-Class Investigators, three Senior Special-Class Investigators, and even more Upper-Class Investigators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a gathering was rare in CCG history.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Maru Tei was a Special-Class Investigator, he rarely fought—he excelled far more in command than in combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whenever CCG had a large-scale operation, Maru Tei personally directed it on-site.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maru Tei was CCG’s battlefield commander, especially skilled in large-scale campaigns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Maru Tei’s passionate tone, the room’s morale surged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is a war between humans and Ghouls—so temporarily surrender your lives to me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, this is an order—you have no right to refuse!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I hereby announce the official deployment of the Special Operations Team in District 11…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maru Tei’s speech had reached a half-shout; he was about to utter the final line—the culmination of a two-day deliberated battle cry meant to inspire those present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pre-battle motivation was crucial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bang!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The conference room door swung open without warning; several Investigators jumped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sorry~! I’m Suzuya Shizao, under Mr. Shinohara—I got lost and arrived late.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suzuya Shizao held both arms flat in front of him—no wonder the door had slammed so loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao stood just behind him; from his angle, he saw Maru Tei’s face—clearly the expression of someone who had just swallowed a dog.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The conference room fell into dead silence.
