Chapter 2644 CIPHER POL's Recruitment Assessment!

Chapter 2644 CIPHER POL's Recruitment Assessment!

Gintama Star.

The lights of Kabukicho.

A warm and ethereal glow spreads across the night sky of Edo.

A crimson Chinese-style tower rises from the ground, its five-story eaves resembling a crane spreading its wings.

The words 'Edo Vegas' on the gold-painted signboard shimmered in the neon lights.

Carriages and sedan chairs came and went in a constant stream in front of the gate.

Men and women of all kinds, dressed in kimonos, suits, and evening gowns, came and went with expressions of infatuation or fervor on their faces.

They ignored the Kizaru fleet hanging in the sky.

After all, the blockade line is far away in space.

The dice, roulette, and pinball machines in front of them are the only war the gamblers care about.

The top floor of the tower.

The scene inside the hall was quite different.

The ukiyo-e prints and gilded screens hanging on the four walls swayed in the lamplight.

The air was filled with expensive incense, but it couldn't quell the tense atmosphere.

On a red armchair with gold trim and dragon patterns.

Hua Tuo sat upright like a statue, his slender fingers tightly gripping a peacock feather fan, his knuckles slightly white.

She was wearing a red, blue and white striped jacket.

She is embroidered with peacock patterns in gold thread, has blue hair that falls to her waist, and wears a golden crown.

This face, which possessed both allure and majesty, was now shrouded in gloom.

His gaze would occasionally drift to the night sky outside the window, where the stars and moon remained unchanged.

But just hours ago, a cherry-red shooting star streaked across the screen, cutting through dark clouds and rain.

It was as if the burning sensation was still on her retina.

"That was just a knife that was casually tossed out."

Hua Tuo muttered to himself, the fan in his hand trembling slightly.

She nearly made a fatal decision today.

When Kamui's 7th Division and Takasugi Shinsuke's Kiheitai joined forces to attack Shogun Castle.

Her Chenluo warriors are ready to go.

As the commander of the Fourth Division of Spring Rain, he was already in a semi-detached state.

But they are still prepared to participate in the war and defeat the so-called world government.

He was merely one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Kabukicho.

She also needs to weigh the business she has built up here over the years.

Unexpectedly, before I could even finish hesitating, the battle report arrived.

Kamui and his team were defeated, and defeated so quickly.

Meanwhile, during the live television broadcast, the flying squirrel general threw out the "divine knife".

The scene of annihilating the 'evil god' Antenmaru across the entire General City.

It sent chills down her spine, a memory she still vividly remembers.

So she immediately cancelled the operation and, hoping for the best, remained inactive.

"They probably don't know who I am yet."

Hua Tuo murmured softly, admitting that there was an element of gambling involved.

In the shadows of a corner of the hall, twelve white figures stood silently.

They have dark skin and slender builds, averaging around 1.8 meters tall.

They all covered their faces with plain white cloths, revealing only a pair of sharp eyes.

And pointed ears that protrude from both sides of the cloth like elves.

The red mole on her forehead further accentuated her eerie aura.

This is Chenluo, one of the three major mercenary races in the universe, along with Yato and Dagini.

When they are together, they excel at teamwork; when they are apart, they are masters of silent assassination.

Hua Tuo glanced at these loyal warriors of his own kind and felt somewhat relieved.

There are hundreds of Chenluo clan members inside the building. Even if something unexpected happens, they will have the strength to fight and try to escape.

But just as her mood began to relax—

Good evening, Ms. Hua Tuo.

The voice was gentle, calm, and polite, yet it pierced the silence of the hall like an icicle.

Hua Tuo's pupils suddenly contracted.

The twelve Chenluo warriors present turned around at the same time.

As the white figure moved, a single-edged horizontal sword appeared in his hand.

Yet none of them noticed when the other appeared.

On the red carpet in the center of the hall, three tall figures stood silently.

The man on the left is the most imposing, estimated to be over 2.5 meters tall.

He was dressed in a black suit, with a broad, square face and a blank, stone-like expression.

The person on the right is nearly two meters tall, also dressed in a sharp black suit and top hat.

A white dove with scarlet eyes and a remarkable understanding of human nature perched on its shoulder.

The person in the middle was also over two meters tall, and wore unremarkable round-framed glasses.

The most exquisite was the tailored suit.

The gaze behind the glasses was gentle and calm, yet unfathomable.

"First introduce yourself."

The man in the middle nodded slightly, his voice as if discussing a routine matter.

“CIPHER POL No. 9, a secret intelligence agency directly under the World Government.”

"I am Captain Crowe, and these two are my teammates, Rob Lucci and Bruno."

Hua Tuo's mood had already plummeted to rock bottom.

Although she had never read comics before, she wanted to learn about the World Government as soon as possible.

This occurred after Kizaru's announcement to the world.

I immediately searched for relevant information online.

So I already know a little about 'CIPHER POL'.

Peacock, striving to control her emotions and maintain outward composure, sat in her chair and asked, "So, what brings you all here?"

"Do not be nervous."

Kro adjusted his glasses: "We're here to offer opportunities."

"I've heard that the Chenluo clan excels in group combat and assassination."

"This perfectly matches CIPHER POL's requirements for agents."

"We hope you can lead the Chenluo clan to join us."

Hua Tuo frowned slightly, about to say something, when he was interrupted by the other party's next words.

"However, an assessment is required before that."

Kro ignored her increasingly unpleasant expression.

"This will verify whether the Chenluo clan is truly suited for the special agent profession, and what their combat talent is like."

"Those who pass are partners; those who fail..."

He paused, his voice still gentle: "We will kill everyone here."

The moment the words left his mouth, the air froze.

The dazzling crystal lights reflected the flickering killing intent in the eyes of the Chenluo warriors present.

Hua Tuo's face turned from pale to ashen, and his hand holding the fan trembled slightly.

But this is not fear; it is the suppression before a fit of rage.

"Haha~"

He then laughed angrily, "You won't even give us a choice? Are you that domineering?"

"How dare you underestimate Chen Luo!"

"The assessment has already begun."

Kro seemed not to hear her questions and continued her statement.

"We have already set up a one-time magic circle around the perimeter in advance."

"At this moment, the building has been pulled into a 'mirror space,' isolating it from the outside world."

"There will be no interference from any unrelated personnel for the time being."

As soon as Kro finished speaking, all the lights in the hall went out.

In an instant, darkness surged in like a tide, instantly engulfing all vision.

Hua Tuo felt a chill run through his body, as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and even his voice was absorbed by the darkness.

The other Chenluo warriors were even more alarmed and on high alert.

"Now please listen carefully to the assessment rules."

The next second, Chloe's voice came from all directions, making it impossible to pinpoint its location.

"We will place thirty cockroach-men wielding weapons on each floor, as well as thirty different kinds of shadow-type magical plants such as Shadow Mushroom, Nightshade Nightshade, and Shadow Peashooter."

"Please lead 154 members of the Chenluo clan and use your expertise to wipe them out in the darkness."

"Final goal: Reach the first floor alive and walk out through the main door."

"And more than half of the people must pass the assessment, that is, at least seventy-seven people."

"If fewer than seventy-seven people leave this place within the time limit, or if the hunting target is not completely killed."

"The entire group will be deemed a failure, and the three of us will execute them."

Deadline: Before midnight tonight.

"It's 9:23 now, you have two hours and thirty-seven minutes."

Kro's voice paused slightly here.

"Good luck to you all, we look forward to your performance."

As the last sentence fell, the darkness fell completely silent.

Hua Tuo held his breath and concentrated, only able to hear faint breathing sounds.

at the same time.

Twelve Chenluo warriors had already surrounded her in the center.

Their night vision is quite good.

"Captain."

A deep voice came from beside Hua Tuo: "We can't find him."

"what----"

Unexpectedly, before the words were even finished, a piercing scream pierced through the door and floorboards, echoing in the darkness.

What followed were the sounds of metal clashing, facilities being destroyed, and flesh being cut.

Clearly, the battle outside and below has already begun.

Hua Tuo, who was usually like a cold and elegant peacock with a smile always on his lips.

He was already so angry that he was gritting his teeth, his face was contorted, and his eyes were full of murderous intent.

"Damn it, this is a joke! What do they take us for?"

"There's a limit to underestimating people! C!P!9!"
