The cold door to the conference room was pushed open with a thud.

Hearing the voice, subconsciously, three pairs of eyes in the conference room looked at the door. The man who had previously called himself the section chief came back with a man in his mid-eighteen years. Broken flaxen hair, blue and white track jacket, brown trousers, and black booties.

I guess I'm a newcomer to the Support Division, right? Three people thought at the same time.

The newcomer has a gentle face, more of a juvenile face than an adult. Looks ...... Feeling a little showy? For a man, this can barely be regarded as an affirmation of his appearance.

"Yo, it looks like it's finally here." A slightly flirtatious male voice sounded. Lloyd looked over and saw a red youth in an orange coat with an axe and gun slung over his shoulder. Although the attitude is a little frivolous, but unexpectedly not annoying.

Without much time to observe, Sergei led Lloyd to the side of the conference table.

"It's been a long wait, this guy is the last member."

Sergei explained without enthusiasm. Lloyd stood a little nervously, his body straight.

"Hey, introduce yourself."

Seeing that he had no inclination to speak, Sergei urged him a little impatiently.

"Ah, yes......"

Lloyd scolded himself for being sluggish. He secretly gasped, stepped forward, and glanced around.

However, as far as the "old members" are concerned, they are all too young, right? Could it be that everyone is a newcomer? Seemingly, there is also a very young girl?

Looking at the three young faces, Lloyd said a word of cheer to himself in his heart.

"Hey, what's wrong? Just tell me your name and place of birth. Sergei urged, yawning secretly. Looks like a lack of sleep.

"I'm sorry." Lloyd sorted out his mood and apologized to the section chief, but also to his three colleagues.

"My name is Lloyd Bannings. A native of Clos Bellben. However, I have been living abroad for some time before. Now that I've been hired by the police department, I'm back. Thank you for your advice in the future. ”

"Oh, that's serious." The red-haired young man in an orange coat leaned back in his chair and waved a hand with a cheerful smile. Then, with his hands on the table, he stood up with his tall body.

Although he looked like a casual man, when he introduced himself, he still stood up and showed respect.

The body is a knee-length long trench coat with a mix of orange-red and light orange-yellow to give it a warm feeling. Inside, there is a white shirt with a round collar and black trousers, which is simple and simple. The dark red medium-length hair was tied with a small braided tail with a random rubber band, so that it would not fall all over the place. The face is full of casual and spontaneous behavior.

Judging from the fact that the weapon he uses is an axe gun, he should belong to the kind of warrior who rushes to the front line, right? He is tall and broad-shouldered, and his arms are thicker than Lloyd's, like a languid red lion.

"Yo, my name is Randy. Randy Orlando. Saying this, the red-haired man who called himself Randy laughed and continued, "My interests are pick-ups, gambling, and admiring photo albums. When the time comes, I can lend you my treasured treasure—ah, I won't spare you if you dare to break it." ”

"Oops?!" Faced with a completely unexpected development, Lloyd couldn't help but scream.

Just when the atmosphere became a little weird, the gray-haired woman coughed lightly twice.

I am going to take the floor. Reading this, Randy winked at Lloyd and sat down with a "you know" expression.

Lloyd breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he was not good at this kind of topic, in the past in the police academy, when his peers talked about various women's topics, he couldn't interject like this, so he could only let the topic turn around, listening a little awkwardly.

Thank you. Lloyd thanked his colleague who was about to introduce him.

The woman with long gray hair stood up and bowed slightly.

"When we first met, my name was Ellie McDowell. Like you, a native of Cross Bell City. Please advise. ”

"Ahh

What a beautiful person. Lloyd thought to himself.

Her upper body is a white and fuchsia dress, which is more similar to a police uniform in style, and it can be seen that the shoulders, elbows and other places that are easy to wear and tear have been reinforced, and there are two pieces of fuchsia skirt armor hanging from her waist. Black pantyhose, white heeled boots. He has long gray hair, emerald green eyes, and a delicate face. A clerical feminine temperament.

After Ellie sat down, the blue-haired girl next to her stood up and nodded to the group.

Hey, so young, it's not an exaggeration to say it's "small", right? Probably only 16 years old? Lloyd thought to himself.

Her outfit is predominantly black, with a silver cuirass that resembles ancient armor. A purple cloak is pulled down from the black shoulder armor, and if you only look at the face and petite body, you will be mistaken for an underage girl. The lake-blue hair was tied up in two ponytails, and the head was decorated with .................. A pair of black cat ears?!

"Theo Prato. From the Leman Autonomous Region. Please advise. ”

"Please advise." Lloyd returned the salute.

After greeting his colleagues, Lloyd's doubts became deeper and deeper, and he couldn't help asking, "That...... Chief Sergei? ”

"Huh? What's up? ”

"What kind of department is the Special Mission Support Division? Including me, the members seem to be very young, huh? ”

While there were other questions, the first one was the qualifications of the members. Generally speaking, a newly established department should have one or two experienced members to act as "guides", and there are only five people, which is a little too small for a police department, let alone young people with little experience.

"Oh, this. Because the situation is a bit special. Chief Sergei didn't know what was in mind, and a relaxed smile hung on the corner of his mouth. By the way, all the members are highly anticipated newcomers, and the atmosphere is relaxed, right? ”

"Uh...... Well. ”

Lloyd responded, and what the section chief said was right. If all the staff are newcomers, there will indeed be no nervous atmosphere. But......

"Is this really good......

Ellie sighed and lowered her head slightly, her beautiful long gray hair scattered over her ears and on her chest. Ellie casually combed them back.

"Well, it's already thankful that there are no nagging seniors~"

Unlike Ellie, Randy had a good laugh. For his casual personality, it felt just right.

Theo didn't speak, but looked at the group silently.

Lloyd sighed in his heart: What is the situation...... It's getting more and more uneasy......

"Didi ......"

A sharp signal sounded, which Lloyd had heard many times, and it was the communication alert sound of the guide communication device. I saw Sergai take out a palm-sized square device from his pocket, open the lid and put it next to his ear.

"I'm Sergei............ Oh, hard work. "The person who came seemed to be someone the section chief knew.

Lloyd recognized the thing for what it really was: a portable conductive terminal. In fact, three years ago, mainstream communication terminals were fixed to the wall due to their size. He was taken aback by the hand-held terminal. It also made him secretly happy for the progress of modern science and technology.

"Well, I'll take care of the aftermath." At the end of the call, Sergei looked at several people with an inexplicable smile on his face. "Okay, rookies. You should be happy. What the hell is this 'Special Mission Support Division' for, I'm going to take you to a great place to experience it slowly. ”

――――――――――――――――――――――

Section Chief Sergei left the police station with a few people and headed south to the station. However, the destination, of course, is not the station, but the opposite side of the station. Walking down dozens of steps, several people came to the corner of the street in front of the station. The rest of the building materials are piled up here haphazardly, and it looks a little messy.

"Come here...... What is it for? ”

Ellie muttered to herself. Randy, who noticed the scattered building materials, teased: "It's the aftermath, do you want us to clean up the building materials?" - I'm kidding. ”

Perhaps the most obvious problem with the rapid growth of cities is where building materials are stored. In the emerging civil engineering industry, the accumulation of building materials that are not completely consumed has become a major problem.

Seeing the messy furnishings here, Randy's guess was not unreasonable.

Without answering the questions of several people, Sergei walked to an iron door, turned around, and explained to several people: "Behind this door is the vast 'underground space' under the city of Crossbell. Next, you have to dive inside. ”

Silent...... And then............

"Huh?!" Lloyd was the first to react.

"Dive, dive?" Ellie instinctively thought of the criminal aspect.

"Section Chief, what does this mean?" Randy was direct, and if he didn't understand, he said hello directly.

Theo didn't speak, but she stared straight at Chief Sergei, her eyes full of "please explain".

Looking at the expressions of several people, Sergei smiled: "This is to test your comprehensive ability and practical skills." Prowlers in the underground space, some not-so-difficult monsters. Your mission is to destroy the monsters all the way into the deepest depths. ”

"I see." Ellie immediately understood what the section chief meant.

"Haha, the actual combat test, so I'm relaxed." Randy said this, turning the axe with one hand. The axe and spear used in both hands were turned by him with one hand, which showed the strength of his arm.

Only Lloyd was a little puzzled: "Wait, wait a minute, let's not talk about the test, why did you deliberately enter the place where this kind of magical beast wanders?" We're not a security team, so that's not the job of a search officer, right? ”

My goal is to be a search officer like my big brother...... That's not the kind of work...... Lloyd added a sentence in his heart.

Sergei snorted, as if anticipating Lloyd's rhetorical question. "It's true that this is not the job of an ordinary search officer—but if you're a member of the Special Mission Support Section, it's different. Hawkers, let's talk about the details later, take this first. ”

Section Chief Sergei walked to a few people while digging out his pockets, and successively took out the terminals used by the four section chiefs before, which looked no more than the size of a palm, clamshell, and the words 丨police丨emblem丨 and CPD were printed on the shell.

"This is...... Conductive terminals? Lloyd asked rhetorically. When I opened the lid, the first thing I saw was that there were seven empty spaces that were obviously used to hold something, the center one, and the others were lined up like hexagonal crystals.

"A new type of tactical force guide?"

Ellie asked rhetorically. I could tell she knew the relevant information.

When he was in the police academy, Lloyd also came into contact with the tactical force guide, but the size of that one was obviously smaller, and it was not clamshell, so he didn't react for a while.

"Wow, that's a really fashionable style." Randy took it and looked at it closely. But what I thought to myself was, if you hang it out, it will definitely attract a lot of eyeballs, right?

Theo glanced at a few people and introduced lightly: "The fifth-generation tactical power guide." COMMONLY KNOWN AS 'ENIGMA'. It's finally equipped for actual combat. ”

Sergei nodded and looked at Theo: "Well, this is a new product sent by the people of the consortium a few days ago. Then he lit himself a cigarette, took a puff, and added, "And, it's been adapted to your respective suitabilities." As for usage...... Theo, explain it to them. ”

Theo sighed, still in a faint tone, "Okay." It's a hassle though. Is there a crystallization circuit for the new type of power guide? ”

"Well, it's not much, take it." Sergei said, grabbing a few beautiful square crystals the size of a fingernail from his pocket and handing them to Theo.

"And that's the most important thing." With that, Sergei handed a key card to several people.

"Okay, hurry up and come back after defeating the monster, and we'll talk about other details when the time comes. Ah, and this ......," Sergei said, and took out a black notebook with the logo of the police, and handed it to a few people. After doing all this, Sergei walked towards the city on his own.

"Wait, please wait a minute, section chief?!" There was so much information that he suddenly obtained, and Lloyd couldn't react temporarily, so he subconsciously called out.

Hearing Lloyd's voice, Sergei turned his head: "That's right, Lloyd. It's up to you to be the captain for the time being. You are the only person who currently has the qualifications of an official inquisitor. ”

Be rendered speechless. The four of them silently watched as Chief Sergei disappeared from view.

It's not that I don't have something to say, but there are so many things I want to say that I don't know where to start.

I always feel that I have a difficult future...... Lloyd couldn't help but sigh again.
