"You guys are free to train today."
Zola glanced at the team members and pointed at Chung Shen-soo. "Li Wei … You come with me."
"Captain, what happened?"
In the office, Chung Shen-soo showed a puzzled expression.
"Our scavenger team is mainly responsible for external resource recovery, but as demon hunters, you and I occasionally have missions from other departments … Get ready to go with me to District 6 tomorrow for a garrison mission."
Zola answered with a business-like face.
"It seems that the demon hunters of Sky City are very nervous …" Chung Shen-soo made a guess that any normal person would have.
After all, if the personnel had spare time, they would not have considered an outsider like him who had just joined.
"After all, there are very few people who are willing to be an official resident of the demon hunters like that fool Morege." Zola sighed. "In addition, it is a huge hurdle to go from a high-ranking servant to a low-ranking dependent. Many demon hunters are unwilling to continue to improve, or they do not have the ability to do so. Finally, the success rate of accommodating a mentally contaminated body is even lower, resulting in very few dependent demon hunters with extremely high mental resistance. Every one of them is very precious, and I mean the ones who can be trusted and have a relatively normal mental state. "
"And you can barely do it because you are carrying out the mission with me. At the same time, you also have Supervisor Isabella's recommendation. She thinks that your mental state is normal enough …"
Zola looked at Chung Shen-soo with an inquisitive gaze.
"Well, this female doctor is very enthusiastic. We have some medical discussions, and she admires some of my ideas … Although I don't have much professional knowledge, my thinking is divergent and flexible enough, and I can come up with some ideas that she did not think of."
Chung Shen-soo replied casually, and then asked, "What in District 6 needs a demon hunter with high mental resistance to guard?"
"Haven't you already guessed it?"
Zola said. "Other than those highly contaminated monster organs, there is nothing else that needs to be so careful."
"Well, it indeed needs a demon hunter to guard it. If it were an ordinary person, it would be a big problem if they were not careful."
It seems that Zola is not that trusted. Otherwise, as a dependent-level demon hunter, she should have been allowed to guard the Eye of Gorossa … Well, it seems that she became a demon hunter by accident, so she is not considered part of the orthodox training of the Sky City?
'As for the characteristics left behind by the Abominations, it obviously requires a candidate who is sufficiently secretive and loyal.'
Chung Shen-soo nodded to show that he understood.
…
The next day, he, Zola, and Morege went to the sixth district.
There was also a department stationed here called the Department of Special Abilities. It could also be called the Department of Monster Hunters, since it was where the hunters were stationed and trained, as well as a warehouse for various Extraordinary materials.
At this point, the number of pedestrians on the road rapidly decreased, and the crowded feeling of every inch of land in the past was greatly reduced.
"Morege, your application has been approved. You will study in the Department of Special Abilities for a week. Under the supervision of other demon hunters, you will go through the correct ritual to accommodate the power of the Eye Demon …"
Zola looked at Morege and her voice became serious. "As an ordinary person, you're already outstanding enough. It's not too late to change your mind."
She was making a final reminder.
'If I didn't know about the apocalypse, I'd be more than happy to be an ordinary person. Unfortunately …'
Morege's expression was resolute. "Captain, I'm ready."
"Alright …"
Zola was somewhat speechless. She brought Chung Shen-soo and Morege to a pitch-black building.
The style here was different from the surroundings. The strange, cold, and bloody atmosphere was enough to make anyone turn around subconsciously.
In front of the Department of Special Abilities, there were a few people wearing black tights and capes, with checkered belts around their waists. There were all sorts of gadgets inside. They stood silently, as if waiting for someone.
"Dixie, why are you here?"
Zola looked at the leader, who was a tall man in his forties. He had deep eye sockets, a high nose, and a pair of silver eyes. He had a pair of deep silver eyes.
"As a Demon Hunter, I'm very interested in volunteering to become a Demon Hunter. I'll personally guide him in his advancement."
This was Dixie's answer.
"Supervisor Dixie."
Morege suppressed his hatred and lowered his head respectfully. He did not want the sharp demon hunters to notice that there was something wrong with his emotions.
'Dixie … He's the confidant of the head of the Department of Special Abilities. The Department of Special Abilities has always been Larry Bruce's sphere of influence. After that, he even planned the attack on Mond and killed the head of the Resource Recovery Department, who had a lot of support in the Highest Council …'
"Then I'll leave him to you."
Zola nodded. "Morege is a great young man."
"Don't worry. I'll take good care of him."
Before he was exposed, Dixie was a very gentle person. At least, Zola had a high opinion of him.
"Then, please come this way."
Another person from the Department of Special Abilities stepped forward. He did not directly ask them to complete the mission.
After all, Zola's identity as a demon hunter was still a secret.
Although she did not hide it from her superiors, she did not want too many ordinary people to know, especially those around her.
Chung Shen-soo and Zola nodded. They came to the Department of Special Abilities, took the elevator, and went all the way down.
"We've built a huge warehouse underground, far away from the residential area. We hope that it can reduce possible pollution …"
The one leading the way was a young man in his twenties with purple hair and a sunny smile. He called himself Roland.
Seeing that Chung Shen-soo was staring at his hair color, he could not help but smile. "Is my hair very strange?"
"Yes, it's rare to see purple hair." Chung Shen-soo nodded.
"It's a side effect from the promotion to a middle-rank servant. Fortunately, it's not serious. It's just a change of hair color, which is acceptable," Roland replied with a sigh.
Roland sighed and replied, "Even if every step is strictly in accordance with the requirements of the Codex, there is no guarantee of absolute safety. This is the sorrow of the demon hunters …"
Zola could not help but fall silent.
"Okay, this time, you need to guard the second underground floor, warehouses 021 to 089."
When the elevator reached the station, the gate opened automatically, revealing a dim passage. The structure was somewhat similar to an underground prison. On both sides were closed iron doors, and there were gas wall lamps directly embedded in the walls.
"You'll be here for a week. Food and water will be delivered. There's a bathroom in your room."
Roland did not seem to dare to stay here for long. He pressed the button to close the elevator.
After a rumble, the gate closed automatically.
Looking at the dim passage, Chung Shen-soo could not help but frown.
Because of the lack of systematic mystical knowledge in this world, the warehouses were not sealed well enough. There was a small amount of pollution and influence spreading.
"No wonder we can't use ordinary people as guards. They'll probably go crazy if they stay here for too long …"
