humming-!

At noon, Higashinohara found a convenience store for lunch near the official residence of the adjudicator.

After eating, he just put down the tableware, and before he could wipe his mouth, the phone on the table next to the instant ramen vibrated, and he looked up and saw that he had received a text message.

"Hello, congratulations on passing the interview. Please gather at the Judgment Division before 1:30 pm. All investigation matters are subject to the specific notice from the Judgment Division."

He wasn't surprised by that.

After all, during the interview in the morning, the woman who always gave him a sense of danger had already revealed that he passed the interview, and the other party didn't know him, so there was no need to lie to him at all.

Now what Higashinohara needs to consider and prepare for is the risks that may be encountered in this exploration, but this morning's interview and adjudication department did not mention the specific exploration content, and the information that can be obtained at present is very limited, and it is impossible to analyze at all.

After wiping his mouth, Higashinohara got up, picked up the instant ramen package and walked to the trash can.

At this time, an exotic woman with shoulder-length light blue medium-length hair and a gentle face suddenly walked by, holding an instant ramen box in the same package as Higashinohara, and supporting him I threw it in the trash can lid.

"thanks."

"You're welcome."

Without eye contact, the two exchanged briefly.

Under normal circumstances, this is just a trivial encounter that occurs tens of thousands of times every day in the modern big city of New Tokyo, and there will be no follow-up.

However, next time, when Higashinohara and the woman walked out of the convenience store at the same time, turned two street corners, and passed three traffic lights.

As the routes of the two continued to overlap, finally, when they reached the gate of the black coffin-like mansion of the Judgment Division at the same time, the gentle woman couldn't help but stop and turned back to meet Higashinohara. glanced.

This is the first time the eyes of the two meet.

The woman hesitated, looking a little surprised at the young face of Higashi Yehara, and finally showed a friendly smile on her face, and took the initiative to reach out to Dong Yeyuan, "Hello, my name is Hela, I'm from Tago. United States of America, did you also enter the investigation team through an interview?"

Anyone from the United States of Targos?

If I remember correctly, it should be one of the two most powerful countries among the more than 300 alliance countries of mankind. It seems that such a powerful country is completely different from Wano when facing the world government. People who come out of that country also have the confidence and temperament that other countries do not have.

Higashinohara flashed the introductions in these books in his mind, politely reached out and shook hands with the other party, smiled and nodded and said, "Hello, Dong. um, Nishinomiyai, Wano people, it seems that we All passed the interview."

Higashinohara almost didn't pay attention to say his name, but fortunately he responded in time.

However, the woman named Hela didn't seem to care about Higashinohara's name. In other words, few of the people who came here to participate in the investigation team's activities used their real names.

Higashinohara knows what it means to have a deep friendship. The two just met once in a convenience store. A woman named Hela would stop and take the initiative to say hello to Higashinohara. Half of the reason is probably because they are unfamiliar and unfamiliar. , This time I'm working for the Judgment Division again, and I want to find someone to take care of each other.

For the remaining half of the reason, I'm afraid it's purely because Higashinohara is handsome, and handsome people are more popular wherever they are, regardless of gender, this is the truth.

Re-enter the door of the Judgment Division.

This time, there were no more people in the waiting room that morning.

What Higashinohara has seen so far, including him and Hela who just met, there are only seven people in total.

The "Nanhai Jian" who was wearing sunglasses he met when he walked out of the interview room in the morning was also among them, and the other four were all men in their twenties to forties.

Except for a bronze-skinned, well-built man who did not look like a young man from Wano, the other three seemed to be natives of Wano.

At this time, the eldest man among the group had the attributes of a "social cow", and he had been chatting and laughing with several other people before Dong Yeyuan came in.

However, the "Qi Hai Jian" who was wearing sunglasses always gave a symbolic smile every time, while the other two laughed heartily, but one was young but lewd, and the other revealed that the middle-aged man was greasy.

The remaining bronze-skinned man did not smile from beginning to end, frowning, as if he had something on his mind, and seemed out of tune with the surrounding environment.

The middle-aged "social cow" expert saw Dong Yeyuan and Hela walking into the waiting room, and immediately walked over with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said with a calm and calm smile like a master:

"Presumably you two are the last two teammates of our group of seven today. My name is Jiyuan Wenren. This time we will work together. Please take care of me."

Hearing Jiyuan Wenren's words, Higashinohara and Hela introduced themselves one after another.

However, just when the seven people started to get acquainted with each other, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the waiting room, and then the door was pushed open, and a team of execution team dressed in black robes walked in solemnly.

Jiyuan Wenren, who was walking around with a smile and connecting his feelings everywhere like a master, saw this, the smile on his face suddenly faded, and he lowered his eyebrows and returned to his seat and sat down.

Obviously, he knows very well who is the real "master" here.

"It's very lively."

Among the group of people who walked in, the leader was a young man who looked twenty-four or five years old. He had a pair of amber vertical pupils on his gloomy face, and when he looked at him, it was inexplicably cold behind his back.

"But I hope that during this investigation, you won't have to be so lively." Gray Maine said in a moderate tone, a look of disgust flashed in his slightly lowered eyes.

If it weren't for the above order this time, he would be unwilling to carry out investigation tasks with these despicable humans.

But then thinking of the woman who always smiled from Shangjing, Gray Maine was slightly awe-inspiring, raised his head and looked at Higashinohara and the others in front of him and said:

"I'm the person in charge of this investigation team. You can just call me Captain Maine. Now put on your equipment, and we'll go to the Sky Tree by car. If you have any questions, you can ask me now."

The voice fell, and the waiting room was quiet.

But no one speaks, it does not mean that there is no doubt. In fact, everyone has all kinds of doubts in the heart of this well-paid but secret investigation work, but no one wants to be this early bird.

Gray Main nodded with satisfaction, these despicable human beings still have the self-knowledge not to cause him trouble, which is finally an advantage that he can appreciate.

This time the investigation team is divided into two groups, seven human beings and seven black robe execution teams.

The people of the Judgment Division Heipao Execution Team have always acted resolutely. After the two groups converged, Higashinohara followed the group and went downstairs quickly.

There was a black adjudication company car parked outside, big enough to accommodate about thirty people, Higashinohara and the others followed.

Arriving in the car, the two groups of people spontaneously took their seats along the inner aisle of the car.

Humans are on the left, and humans are on the right.

The captain of the investigation team, Gray Mane, patted the driver on the shoulder after getting in the car. The driver skillfully ignited the ignition and stepped on the accelerator. After the special car started slowly, the traffic that merged into the city drove towards the closed sky tree.

At this time, Gray Mane in the car got into the car and took out a black alley from the shelf above his head. He took out a temporary short-range communication device from it and distributed it to the people in the car from the front to the back.

Higashinohara took an ear-mounted earphone and a microphone clipped to the neckline from Gray Maine. After taking a look, he groped and put it on by himself.

In the seven-person group on the human side, the woman named Hela may have met Higashinohara by chance at a convenience store at noon, or she might have gotten into the car because she was in an unfamiliar environment after seeing that Higashinohara was harmless, safe and reliable. At that time, he subconsciously sat beside Higashinohara.

She didn't seem to have worn these communication devices, so she glanced at Higashinohara who quickly started to use it, and tilted her head thoughtfully to put it on for herself.

When she tilted her head, the tips of her light blue hair brushed against the skin on Higashinohara's neck, and there was a tingling sensation. Higashinohara's nose seemed to smell an inexplicable aura.

The taste of the sea.

These four words popped up in his mind inexplicably.

Turning his head to look at the gentle woman beside him, Higashinohara found that the other party just put on headphones and a microphone like a gourd, and then sat upright and motionless.

He shook his head amusedly in his heart, raised his hand to help her press the switch on the earphone, Hela was slightly stunned, and a little embarrassed to say thank you in a low voice.

However, Higashinohara couldn't hear it clearly, because just as he pressed the switch for Hela, there was an electric sound of "Zila" in his ears, and then came the voice of a liaison officer in the main control room.

"Investigation team's equipment access."

"First attempt to connect."

"The connection detection is completed, so the devices can communicate normally."

"."

Soon, the earphones fell silent again.

Pretty serious.

Tonohara thought silently in his heart.

He doesn't mind that, although he doesn't know what happened in the closed sky tree, it deserves the attention of the Judgment Division, and it may not be easy to hire people with human abilities to the society.

But as soon as it comes, let it go. The Judgment Division has the purpose of the Judgment Division, and he has his purpose.

Taking advantage of the fact that his identity is still hidden, he can get some benefits from the alien demon under the eyes of the other party, and he will be more confident when he really tears his face in the future.

The other people sitting around Higashinohara are probably similar, and different people have different purposes.

Someone once had a criminal record and couldn't get along in Wano, and this time they were eager to get in touch with the Judgment Division.

Some people are simply short of money, and they come to this investigation for seven days, which is equivalent to two years of high employment fees for office workers in large companies;

Some people may have other unknown purposes like Higashinohara

Higashinohara is not interested in other people's privacy, what really makes him vigilant is the attitude of the Judgment Division.

You must know that even ordinary corporate social recruitment has a social background check, but this time, the adjudication department did not ask about their background, and only determined the employment based on the information filled in and an interview.

The reason behind this has to be thought-provoking.

Is it because the adjudication department thinks that the two parties are in a one-time employment relationship, as long as you help them complete their tasks, no matter what status you are?

Or in the eyes of the other party, they are just like "cannon fodder", so it doesn't matter whether the investigation results are adjusted or not?

Higashinohara pondered these questions in his mind.

After a while, the group arrived at the foot of the sky tree in Sumida Ward, New Tokyo.

The bustling business districts and pedestrian streets in the past seem extremely lonely and deserted today. When passing by the street that was destroyed by the fierce battle that night, the road seemed to be only half repaired. Higashinohara saw some road rollers and concrete mixers parked on the side of the road, and no workers were working. figure.

It seems that under the power and pressure of the Adjudication Division, the three-acre land at the foot of the sky tree in the bustling and bustling modern city of New Tokyo has been stripped from the city and is in a state of complete shutdown.

Hela, who was sitting next to Higashinohara by the window, came from a foreign country and seemed unaware of the battle that took place at the foot of the sky tree at the end of last month. She was lying on the glass and watched with some curiosity that the news media reported that it was described as It is a street that is almost cracked "as if three warships squeezed in side by side".

However, the special car of the Judgment Division did not stop again. Soon, the group arrived at the foot of the sky tree radio tower that looked like a white giant in the steel jungle.

After stopping the car, the captain of the investigation team, Gray Mane, walked straight to the door and jumped out of the car without saying a word. The other six celestial beings from the black-robed execution team followed without a word.

The remaining seven-person group of humans in the car looked back and forth at each other, and finally Jiyuan Wenren stood up again and said with a smile:

"Let's go down too, don't make the big figures in the Judgment Division wait."

Want to go up?

After getting off the bus, Higashinohara glanced at the black-robed executive team walking in front of him, and then looked up at the towering "steel giant" shining in the sunlight in front of him, wondering if this was the case. The content of this investigation is in this tower?

Will the aliens hide here?

He was a little unsure in his mind.

At this moment, Higashinohara suddenly noticed that someone had also stopped and stood beside him and looked up at the sky tree above his head.

Not Hella.

Higashinohara didn't turn his head, and out of the corner of his eyes, he caught a pair of black sunglasses—the man who shoved the big black gun into the mouth of the Seventh Judgment Emissary that night a month ago and broke it into a puddle.

"Have we met?"

Suddenly, Kenjiro Nanami, who goes by the pseudonym "Nankai Jian", asked.

Dong Ye Yuan slightly tilted his head and glanced at him, with just the right stunned expression on his face, "I'm sorry, I don't have much impression of you, maybe where have you seen me?"

"I'm sorry, I must have recognized the wrong person." A gentle smile appeared on Nanami Kenjiro's face.
