Four days later, the Department of Weapons Research and Development of the BPRD.

"I'll give you a packed ticket, you're going to love your new weapon. Kylo Fred, chief engineer of the Weapons Research Division, with a bushy yellow beard, was enthusiastically leading the way for Shore.

"I still hope you'll fix that sword of mine completely, Kylo. Shore said to Kylo with a hint of disappointment. Shore's weapon, Maia, had been devastatingly damaged in a battle with Mephistopheles some time ago, and despite the odds, Shore hoped that Kylo would repair his sword as long as there was still a chance, as it was the only relic his mentor had left him.

"I'm afraid it's unlikely. Kylo said with a grimace, "Mephistopheles' dark power has corrupted all of Maia. I'm a weapons repair expert, though, oh, well, at least here. I can only reluctantly fix some of it with the help of molecular purification equipment. ”

Shore shrugged helplessly and disappointedly, saying that he had accepted the worst possible outcome. Seeing that he was depressed, Carlo hurriedly said to him, "Don't worry, little Shore, I promise that the new weapon made from the fragments of Maia will meet all your requirements." ”

"Look, we're there. I don't know how long I walked down the narrow corridor of the weapons research and development room, when Carlo suddenly stopped in front of a rectangular weapon box and called. "It's sure to suit your taste. Kylo said as he opened the lid of the weapon case. An icy mist emerged from the open weapon case, causing even Kylo in his engineering suit to shiver.

Kylo then carefully dug his hands into the crate and pulled out the weapon. Only then did Shore see the appearance of the new weapon that Kylo had built for him, "This is, a pair of twin swords. Shore carefully looked his new weapon up and down.

"Yes, a double sword made of purified Maiya fragments combined with new nanomaterials. Lightweight and swift, I've also engraved the Guardian Charm on its new blade to increase its physical durability and energy resistance. Kylo proudly introduced Shore. "Not only does it have the remnants of the previous Maiya, but it also uses the latest science and technology. It was able to rapidly increase the power of the Word tenfold. You don't even need to use Liberation to wield the power of the Word 100 percent. ”

Shore looked at the two swords in his hand in amazement, they were indeed as light and smooth as Kylo said, the sword body was half a foot longer than the original Maia, the front end was extremely sharp, it could both stab and slash, and there were three deep blood grooves on it, the blade of each sword was extremely balanced, and when the edge met the light, it immediately shone brightly, which looked extraordinarily sharp. But what surprised him the most was that when his hand grasped the hilt of the sword, he could clearly feel the resonance between the word engraved on his arm and the sword.

"Thank you, Kylo. Shore finally smiled. Kylo happily said to him, too, "Alright, don't be in that mess, silly boy. Don't let down the new guy I've spent so long building for you. ”

Shore gratefully hugged Kylo as he inserted his twin swords into his back, and hurried out of the area in the direction of the mission briefing room.

He did have more important things to do, and today was the day for the members of the new squad that Commander Rajer had helped him assemble to report for, and he couldn't wait to meet his new members.

When Shore arrives at the briefing room, he finds that someone is already waiting for him at the door. "Ye Xiang!" Shore smiled and called out the man's name. Ye Xiang turned his head and winked at Xiao Er's black eyes, "You were almost late, as the captain of the new team, you were late on the first day of the establishment of the new team, but it's too bad." ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Xiao Er grinned and said, "Then the new team members have already arrived!" Ye Xiang glanced at him, "They are all here, and besides" he paused in a deliberately long tone, "You now have a new vice-captain, although I think it's unfortunate, but it seems that the commander can't pick anyone to work with you idiot besides me." ”

Xiao Er was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly shouted at Ye Xiang in surprise: "I should have thought that old Rajer would definitely let you be my deputy, after all, who knows me better than you." It's good now, we're a family now. ”

"Alright, alright. Don't patronize being silly here and look like you're more of an idiot. Hurry in and meet the new team members and get to know their basic situation is what you should do as a captain. Ye wanted to remind him.

"You're going to take care of me on your first day in office, and it seems that the commander still wants you to monitor my every move, are you going to be my babysitter?" Shore stuck out his tongue mischievously.

He pushed open the door to the briefing room, and he was greeted by five people standing side by side.

Shore cleared his throat and then said loudly to the new team members standing in front of him: "Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Shore Robert, and I will be your captain from now on, of course, we don't know each other, so I would like to ask you to introduce yourself first." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a burly man in his 30s, with brown bear tattoos on both arms, stood on the far left of the queue, and shouted in a loud voice: "My name is Nicolas Jean Crowsky, Russian, and I used to be the vice-captain of Squad 21 in the Storm Unit of the Arctic Circle Branch. Like you, Captain, I'm a witcher, and I hope you can get along with me. With that, he stood back in the queue.

The Storm Force, Shore quickly filtered out the information of this unit in his mind, it was a force known for its bravery, they were the bravest and toughest warriors who fought in the ice and snow, and the most famous story of this unit was the handling of the polar night vampire incident in Alaska, in which only three members of the Storm Force sent a team survived, and even the captain died heroically, but until the last moment, they never gave up hope of victory. It seems that he has clearly inherited the usual ethos of this unit.

"Very good, welcome Nicholas. Shore smiled at Nicholas. "So, who's next?"

At this time, the tall thin man standing next to Nicholas snorted coldly, and then responded to Shore's question in a slow tone: "My name is Bolton Largs, I was an agent of the British MI6 before joining the BPRD, and now I work at the headquarters of the BPRD. He suddenly smiled slyly at Shore, "Unfortunately, unlike you and the Russian, you are witchers, and we are wild hunters who specialize in hunting down witchers, so I have to say that the arrangement of fate is really interesting." Are you right, Captain?"

Everyone in the room gasped, and Shore looked at him with disgust and caution, while Bolton seemed to be complacent about the appearance of everyone, as if he had just completed a brilliant career.

Wild Hunter, full name: Special Covert Operations Force, "Wild Hunt" is the operation code used in the BPRD, which is a special pursuit and hunting force set up by the United Nations to prevent defections within the BPRD. This force is notorious for being cold-blooded and cruel, and almost all members of the BPRD shy away from them, because all of them know that these guys have more blood on their hands.

"Whether or not we're witchers doesn't matter what we do, and there's nothing to be proud of being a Wild Hunter. A hoarse, deep voice broke the breathless silence in the space.

Everyone followed the sound, and a man with dark skin, a tall and muscular body, a necklace made of unknown animal teeth around his neck, and his hair braided into wisps of twisted flowers, was also looking at them.

"I'm sorry to interrupt Mr. Bolton's speech, for I don't think what he said makes sense. My name is Raven Garcia. Yes, as my last name is meant to express. I am an Indian, part of the Special Operations Force of the Americas, I am not a witcher myself, my tribe does not even believe in God, but as shamans who believe in the power of nature, we can use the power of nature to fight against all the evil in this world. ”

Raven suddenly turned his head and glared at Bolton who was standing next to him with a sharp gaze, his eyes full of disdain, "The reason why we are gathered together is for a common goal. So we should put aside our estrangements and stick together, instead of being proud of killing our fellow human beings, as some people do. You say I'm right, Captain?"

Shore nodded approvingly at Raven, and he continued, "As Raven just said, we are gathered together to protect humanity and for a righteous cause. He glanced at Bolton, who was still indifferent, with sharp eyes, "I thank Raven very much for your statement, and we welcome you to join our team. ”

"I guess we don't need to be introduced, Captain San. The only woman in the group said with a smiling tone of arrogance, while the haired man standing next to her with her arm around looked at her with a doting expression.

"Yes, Wakaba, I think we all know who you two are. ”

Chikusa Wakaba and Rex Field, who are recognized as talented women throughout the BPRD headquarters, are said to have been attacked by the enemy during their training sessions, and no one knows how they survived, and they are silent about it. But since then, they have fought side by side and regarded each other as their own, they have made the blood of their enemies a rose, and the victory of the battle has been an oath to each other, and the beautiful female ninja and the handsome and handsome witcher have performed the most romantic and heartwarming scenes of the endless and brutal battle.

Old Rajer really knows how to choose someone for me, and Shore now can't help but want to rush to the commander and punch him hard, and then hug him and yell at him: "Hey, old man, you take care of me so much! Look at the people you have chosen for me, and now I want to break your nose and give you a drink." ”

"Well, you've got a basic understanding of each other's situation. Ye Xiang slowly walked in from outside the door at this time, "Then I'll make a long story short, I'm Ye Xiang as your deputy captain, if you have something, you can come to me first, after all, our captain always seems to be not doing his job, and it's also because we are unlucky to be this difficult master." ”

Xiao Er pouted at him, this guy actually made fun of me like this, it's really a stinky problem that can only occur after reading too many ancient books. Ye Xiang wasn't really a pure demon hunter either, and in China people like them who fought against supernatural threats were often referred to as demon slayers, Taoist priests, or demon hunters.

They do not use the Holy Word, but use the power taken from the essence of the human soul, that is, what people commonly call the Tao Law, the official name of the BPRD Soul Seal, so as to obtain an ability comparable to the Holy Word, but at the cost, every time they use this ability called the Soul Seal, it is equivalent to burning their own life, and the more times they use it, the stronger the power they gain, the more they will reduce their lifespan, so they are also considered to be the most determined warriors who can gamble their lives in order to protect others.

I will eradicate the evil of this world and crush the conspiracy of hell once and for all, Shore swore in his heart. He looked up again and looked earnestly at everyone who stood before him, how many of them would survive this cruel task to the end? Teacher, that's right, today I will challenge the "people" who mock our will as a human being.

Shore puffed up his chest and gave his first pre-war speech to his teammates in the warm sunlight that shone through the window: "Today, our team is officially formed, and we call it X., which you may not know, which means hope in ancient Hebrew. I don't know where the hope lies, but I watch each and every one of you, who have gathered here in the name of light and justice, vowing to fight until dawn comes and the darkness dissipates. In order to protect everything we love, in order to be able to make people smile again, we will fight to the end, that is, the breath is gone, the heart is not beating, and we must stand up to the end in a protective posture. ”

"Everyone dies, and so do we, but the souls of the fallen warriors guide us, and the courage of humanity is always by our side, which is why we raise the flag against us and fight for love. Today, right here, in the name of humanity, we officially declare war on the forces of darkness!"
