A Scientific Urban Detective

Seeing the tablet computer that Teitoku Kakine threw over, Archer Hunter was a little dazed, but still maintained a blank expression, reaching out to take the tablet.

“This is what you call work~ Our daily work is to carry out various commissions,” Yumi Okazaki explained from the side, “Although we are a team, in order to deal with the worst-case scenario—even if there is only one person, we must continue to complete the task. So you must have the ability to complete a task independently.”

As she spoke, she suddenly looked at the little girl in front of her with some worry: “Archer Hunter, you… can you read and write?”

Judging from her size and appearance, Archer Hunter really looked like a third or fourth-grade elementary school student. Maybe she hasn't learned all the words yet!

The previous assessments focused on combat power, but ignored the most basic point—can Archer Hunter understand the content of the task request on her own?

Archer Hunter came back to her senses and nodded quickly: “I have learned.”

With that, she lowered her head and carefully read the commission in her hand.

The room fell silent, and the other three were doing their own things, with no intention of providing assistance to Archer Hunter.

Archer Hunter carefully read all the task-related information on the computer, then nodded and said softly: “I’m leaving…”

“Wait,” Teitoku Kakine suddenly called out to her, “Do you need a weapon?”

“No, I will make it myself.” Archer Hunter lowered her eyelids, hiding the glint in her eyes.

——As a professional hunter, even if she enters the forest empty-handed, she can still hunt prey!

“Then, take this with you,” Teitoku Kakine threw her a cell phone, “You can contact us if there are any problems.”

Archer Hunter set off. After she left the room, Yumi Okazaki said, “It feels like she’s changed.”

“Well, after all, she’s someone who is going to join us. It would be strange if she didn’t have something special,” Ramone said.

“But, it’s really cruel—to let a girl who just joined go and kill someone.” Yumi Okazaki checked her nail art, and said with a sigh.

“It’s not necessarily killing someone,” Teitoku Kakine said, “The task requirement is just to recover the stolen information. It all depends on how she handles it.”

The task difficulty is not high. How the newcomer Archer Hunter will respond is also part of the assessment.

Teitoku Kakine and the others also need to use this task to assess Archer Hunter’s strength, abilities, and personality habits, so that they can cooperate in future tasks.

Of course, killing the target and taking back the information is also a way to complete the task, because it is an act of the dark side, so this approach will not attract the arrest of the security forces—as long as the cleanup of the scene is fast enough.

——The affiliated organizations under the dark side organization do this kind of support and cleanup work.

After a few more minutes, Teitoku Kakine finally spoke, “Yumi, Ramone, you go and follow her too.”

“Eh~” Yumi Okazaki complained in a drawn-out tone, “Our injuries haven’t healed yet.”

“Tch!” Teitoku Kakine clicked his tongue, and then actually got up and prepared to go out himself.

This surprised Yumi Okazaki: “Boss, are you really going?!”

“Of course.” Teitoku Kakine said, “Have I ever joked about tasks?”

“I didn’t realize you valued that girl so much…”

Ramone held a different opinion: “You’re worried about that girl, right? If the mission fails, we’ll also lose out, ‘School’.”

Teitoku Kakine nodded and said, “That’s right, our last mission was not completed. If we fail this time too… no, as long as there are some twists and turns, it won’t be good news for us.”

Because the “Artificial Atelier” commission had such an unexpected situation before, it was a serious blow to the reputation of the dark side “School”.

What’s worse is that if the mission is not completed, there is no reward, and the funds on the “School”’s books are almost running out.

Therefore, no matter what, this mission cannot fail!

“Seriously, how can such an important matter be used to assess a newcomer!” Hearing that the organization was running out of money, Yumi Okazaki couldn’t sit still, quickly put away her cosmetics, and got up to leave with Teitoku Kakine.

Ramone slumped in the massage chair, not wanting to move at all—recently he has also been consciously learning from Lin Wuming, trying to complete all actions with his ability as much as possible.

Of course, he is not as extreme as Lin Wuming, who even found a wheelchair to assist in movement.

Therefore, Ramone had no choice but to drag his still injured body and follow the other two out.

There was no way, the boss had already said that he would personally take action, so how could he, as a subordinate, stay at home and rest?

“By the way, do you know the target’s current location?” Teitoku Kakine asked, turning his head.

“Don’t worry, boss, I have everything under control.” Ramone made an OK gesture, “I had a locator installed in his car, and there is always a team of people tracking him. He can’t escape.”

The latest novel is first published on 6_9_book_bar!

“What, isn’t this equivalent to already completing it?” Yumi Okazaki felt a burst of frustration after hearing this, “Even if that child fails, we can complete the task at any time.”

Teitoku Kakine’s style of doing things has always been prudent and meticulously planned. It is unlikely that he would completely hand over such a crucial task to a newcomer.

As she spoke, the three took the elevator downstairs and saw Archer Hunter wandering around the hotel entrance.

“Huh? Did she encounter difficulties as soon as she left?” Yumi Okazaki couldn’t help but complain.

They were also aware of Archer Hunter’s personality problems, but they didn’t expect her to run into a wall so quickly.

She seemed to want to ask someone something, but after several attempts, she failed to make any progress. In the end, she found a corner and squatted down alone.

Then she took out the phone she had just received and started playing with it.

“She is checking the bus route map,” Ramone monitored Archer Hunter’s phone in real-time, “She seems to want to take public transportation.”

“So she wanted to ask for directions just now?” Yumi Okazaki said, “But why not go to the underground parking lot? We have dedicated vehicles and drivers on standby 24 hours a day.”

As a formal dark side organization, all kinds of logistical support are readily available, and the service is so complete that it is almost meticulous.

In fact, Archer Hunter only needs to find the “School”’s affiliated organization and give an order, and a special car will take her to wherever she wants to go.

“Uh… did we introduce her to the affiliated organization?” Ramone asked.

Teitoku Kakine did not speak. This kind of trivial matter is not something that he, as the leader, should be responsible for.

Yumi Okazaki sighed, “Okay, I will teach her well after this mission is completed.”
