Chapter 129: Preparations for Exploring the New World!
Red Line, Area RL1556.
"What did you say?!"
An extremely sharp, almost screaming sound echoed within the No.0001 Star Gate Base. Its Penetration Power was so strong that even the fully sealed Electric Gate couldn't block it.
Caesar Clown was very angry at this moment, extremely angry. He gritted his teeth, his chest heaving rapidly, and his yellowish-brown Pupils glared fiercely at the Government Official who had come to deliver the message.
"I just made contact with Another World, and the subsequent in-depth investigation Operation is about to begin. And now you're telling me to return to Impel Down!"
"Am I crazy, or are you crazy?!"
But the Man in Black opposite him looked at him coldly and said, "You are only sixteen years old this year and just a student of the Biochemical Science Academy. You are not qualified to be involved in the subsequent Matters. We will invite your Teacher, Professor Freeze, to oversee the Biochemical Work here."
"No, I don't want to, I don't want to go back," Caesar said, his Face full of unwillingness, his fists clenched tightly.
"There's also something the higher-ups wanted me to relay to you."
Caesar suddenly raised his head and quickly asked, "What is it? Hurry and tell me!"
"Once you have researched the 'Land of Death' and 'Ice Oni' and solved the Amber Lead Disease, you will be the next Director of the Biochemical Research Institute and will oversee the World Government's highest-level Biochemical Missions."
After speaking, the person turned and left without another word, leaving Caesar standing there struggling, hesitating, and finally letting out a long sigh before following.
"Shurorororororo, I never expected that what would hinder me would be my age. Fine, isn't it just Amber Lead Disease? I'll solve it for you to see!"
This was what the young Caesar was thinking at this moment. Young as he was, he was so confident, full of vigor, and thought himself the most Genius in the World in terms of Wisdom!
Caesar Clown left, and naturally, others came in.
*Swish—*
The outermost Gate of the Base quickly opened to both sides after a few beeping sounds. Immediately after, ten cool men and women in Black Suits appeared before everyone's eyes, each with their own stance.
A glance was enough to see that there were five men and five women, a very balanced pairing. Nine of them stood in a row behind a silver-haired man wearing a Blue Diamond Earring and Dark Red Glasses.
"CP9 is here!"
The departments responsible for the Base's security were the Army holding Automatic Rifles and the CP8 Members also in Black Suits. Seeing these ten make a grand entrance, the latter had the biggest Reaction.
Although CP8 and CP9 seemed to differ by only one letter and one number.
The former's Duty was Political Affairs Protection, essentially high-level bodyguards, while the latter was a true Assassination Unit, a place only the Elite of the Elite could enter!
"Captain Raschi, please come this way. I will now lead you to your respective rooms and introduce the details of this Mission," said the Government Official who had previously dismissed Caesar Clown, walking over and speaking politely.
"Lead the way."
Lucci lifted his chin in response, then took the lead and walked in with his Shiny Leather Boots. He showed no signs of awkwardness in this unfamiliar place, but his sharp Pupils, hidden behind his Dark Red Glasses, were rapidly scanning the surrounding Environment and the distribution of personnel.
But just as the CP9 group had gone halfway, beeping sounds rang out from behind them again. The Gate then opened once more, causing Lucci to stop and look back. The nine Members behind him immediately moved to stand on either side, ensuring his view was completely unobstructed.
"Ha—ha—ha—ha——"
As a man two meters and fifty centimeters tall with a slicked-back hairstyle and a Black Coat draped over his shoulders appeared there, an unpleasant, gasping laugh that made one's teeth ache began to spread throughout the Base.
"Although I don't know what you want me to do, this place is nice. I like it. At least I can take a hot bath, right?"
"'Sand Crocodile' Crocodile," a female CP9 Member whispered, stating the person's Identity.
"Why is he here? Isn't this a particularly high-level Secret Base? And he's wearing Handcuffs. Did he come to the wrong place?" another male Member said with a cold laugh.
At this moment, the Man in Black leading the way reminded them expressionlessly.
"Mr. Crocodile here will be heading to the same Mission Area as you all. You can have some Communication later."
"What?"
The CP9 Members were greatly surprised to hear this. Even the cool Lucci slightly furrowed his brow and asked, "What is our Mission this Time? Why do we need the assistance of a Pirate?"
"The Mission details will be explained shortly, but I need to correct you on one point. Mr. Crocodile is not here to assist you all. He will simply be heading to the same Zone at the same Time as you all."
Lucci nodded and said coldly, "Continue leading the way!"
"Understood."
Behind them, Crocodile's gaze also swept over CP9. After all, their Aura was the strongest here.
Especially that arrogant guy wearing the Blue Diamond Earrings. Just based on his Aura, he was no weaker than himself at present.
Ten minutes later.
After confirming their respective rooms, the CP9 Members gathered together and sat on the Sofas in a Hall. In front of them were drinks like Coffee, Red Wine, and Black Tea that the Waiter had just brought.
"Speak."
Lucci gently picked up a glass Wine Glass, swirling the Whiskey mixed with Ice Cubes inside.
"Understood. For ease of understanding, please take a look at this Intelligence Data first."
The Government Official responsible for managing this Base personally handed ten sets of Data/Files, given to him by a subordinate, to each CP9.
Lucci, being the first to receive them, lowered his head and began reading in silence. But as he read, his Face couldn't help but tighten, and his Gaze trembled violently.
What did he see?
Another World, a true New World!
Their Mission this Time was actually to infiltrate deep into an unknown World, investigate all Intelligence useful to the World Government, and do their best to send the Intelligence back to this Base.
To be honest, it wasn't just him; all the CP9 Members were astonished. If they weren't in a place where there was absolutely no problem, they would definitely suspect that this person was joking with them.
However, Lucci quickly composed himself and continued reading the subsequent content.
According to what was written on it, no dangerous Creatures or abnormal Situations were found within five hundred meters of the Star Gate entrance.
This brought a slight sense of relief.
But the most important Intelligence was that Transponder Snail Communication tests had been conducted, and Transponder Snails could be used normally in Another World. This was a huge help to them.
"I believe everyone has finished reading the Data/Files. One man and one woman will form five Teams. Once you exit the Peninsula Area on the other side of the World, you will infiltrate in different directions. If you encounter Strange Creatures or Intelligent Life, please contact the Base while ensuring your own safety."
"What about Supplies and equipment? What can we bring?" Lucci asked expressionlessly.
"Five days of Compressed Rations and three days of Freshwater. Each of you can bring one Automatic Pistol and five Magazines, five Grenades, one Compass, and one handy Weapon."
"Daggers will do, two for each person," Lucci answered directly, without asking the other Members' opinions. None of the latter raised any objections either.
"Understood."
"Now, can you tell us why that Crocodile is going in with us?"
[Author's Note: I worked hard to write one chapter, and I'm out of Time. The remaining two chapters will be posted in the afternoon. Also, I hope all Reader-sirs can understand the difficulty of pleasing everyone. It's impossible for me to write something that satisfies everyone, so I can only write according to my own ideas and rhythm.
Also, let me explain the protagonist's Identity issue. In my concept, the protagonist's first Identity, Lord Imu, is primarily Divinity-based. He must maintain mystery, be high and mighty, and consider everything from the perspective of his own and the World Government's interests. The second Identity is Saint Nerona, which is a more Humanity-leaning Identity. In this Identity, he will appear more relaxed and focus on enjoying pleasure. Please do not confuse the two and substitute the second Identity for the first.
Also, the protagonist is just an ordinary person. He wasn't particularly amazing in his previous life, so please don't compare him to Aizen.
I admit, I can't write a character of Aizen's level. I apologize, my skill is limited, although I haven't watched much Shinigami.]
