Hiss—!

After taking a few sips of the tempura udon soup base in the noodle cup, Higashinohara smacked his mouth twice, feeling a little nostalgic for the sour and refreshing taste of Laotan pickled cabbage in his previous life.

He got up from the tatami and went to the balcony where clothes could only be hung. He opened the trash can and threw the remaining debris in. He opened the window to disperse the smell.

It had been raining continuously for the past two days, and the light rain outside the window stopped in the evening. The setting sun cleared the haze in the sky and fell on the corridor outside. Higashinohara looked out the window but thought about the part-time recruitment he had just done.

There is no free lunch,

If it were to fall, it wouldn't hit you.

This is the realization Higashinohara had from his previous life.

Facing the waiter job he just saw that paid ten times the hourly wage, he couldn't help but feel a little suspicious in his heart.

Isn't this some new scam?

Higashinohara was suspicious, and took a closer look at the sponsoring company behind the recruitment information - Sigmund International Trading Company. It seemed that he had never heard of it.

He casually cut out the browser and searched for it, and the expression on his face gradually became a bit surprised.

So-called international trading companies are generally companies engaged in the exchange of goods and services between different countries, and Sigmund is exactly the same. Its business scope is quite large, ranging from mechanical and electrical equipment to communication equipment, medical equipment to chemical industry.

Raw materials, even clothing, shoes, hats, cosmetics... almost everything that can make money is involved, and it is like an international behemoth.

This APP that Higashinohara often uses has strict audits on companies that publish recruitment information. It cannot be said that there is no possibility of fraud, but it is minimal, and the cost is higher than deceiving a poor student.

Not worth it at all.

He is very thoughtful. Since there is a high probability that the company will have no problems and the salary is so high, he must not be the only one to see this recruitment information, so the employment threshold may not be simple.

Give it a try?

Towards the end of the month, the 100,000 yen sent by my parents in Hokkaido for living expenses, plus the savings from my regular part-time job, left me 50,000 yen.

There is no way, the consumption in New Tokyo is too high. A meal in a restaurant usually costs 7,000 to 8,000 yen. Buying some decent clothes in the mall starts at 10,000 yen. Plus miscellaneous living expenses, even if you don’t have money, you can still manage your own finances.

There is a way.

Higashinohara no longer hesitated and chose to submit his "resume" with one click - in fact, what kind of jobs he had before, his physical condition, his evaluation of his personal character... and a real handsome photo without beauty or PS.

Considering that this kind of part-time job is usually more wolf than meat, he didn't hold out much hope and checked other part-time job information. After the weekend exercise, he definitely couldn't be idle.

Unexpectedly, he had only been browsing for a few minutes when the APP received a message. Dongye opened it and looked at it. His face suddenly looked surprised and surprised.

Did you pass it so quickly?

I took a look at the information the other party gave me - we will gather at a villa near Odaiba Seaside Park in Minato City at three o'clock the day after tomorrow for a brief "entry training". After the dinner, you can receive ten times the salary of an ordinary part-time job.

Call it a day and leave.

It turns out that there were times when I was actually hit by a pie...

Sigmund International Trading Company?

Higashinohara remembered this wealthy company in his mind. He seemed to have just seen that there is a branch in Wano Country, but he couldn't find a formal office building on the city map. Otherwise, he would not be able to stay in Tokyo and find a job after graduation.

You can also try your luck.

...

Same time, different place.

Chiyoda Ward, the main store of the Metropolitan Police Department, in the office of the 13th Division of the 3rd Investigation Team.

At half past five, it was already the time for civil servants to get off work. The lights in the office were brightly lit, and everyone was so busy that their feet did not touch the ground, and there was a breeze as they walked.

Next door to the office,

It is a sealed special training room.

In front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, Sugita Tsukasa bares his upper body with muscular lines like a horned dragon, holding a katana named [Song of Sin] in both hands. A faint blue cold air oozes from the blade, and the sweat on his body is like particles.

Like beans, they rolled down the ravine.

He picked up the transparent water glass next to him and took a sip of water. He then held the glass upright and slowly tilted the mouth of the glass. A normal person could see the water flowing down like a waterfall.

Sugita Tsukasa, who was lying low, narrowed his eyes slightly like a ferocious beast, but the samurai sword in his other hand completed countless cuts in the electric light and stone fire. The water waterfall in front of him first seemed to be held up by an invisible force and was stagnant for a moment, and then it was incredible.

It condenses into blue ice crystals at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The next moment, his speed accelerated again, and the sound of roaring through the air was heard layer by layer!

The ice crystals that had not yet fallen were suddenly shattered into powder by the invisible particles of power, and then strangely turned into a rising white mist under the bloody sunset outside the floor-to-ceiling window.

call-!

Sugita opened his mouth and sprayed out a white mist snake, which was followed by an extremely sharp breath like a bellows.

At this time, the wet sweat beads on his body had condensed into ice crystals and fell to the ground. There was a crisp sound like big beads and small beads falling on a jade plate.

【Devil May Cry】!

The blue ice ability with talent serial number 51.

But Tsukasa Sugita, a fifth-level and second-level superpower, has a soul-stirring feeling.

Dong dong dong—!

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door outside the training room.

"Captain, colleagues from the Communications Department found out!"

At this time, the intern liaison officer Aragaki Mai quickly walked outside the door and shouted excitedly.

After a brief silence, the door was opened, and Sugita Tsukasa, who was dressed neatly again, appeared in front of Mai Aragaki with a cold and calm face.

Mai Aragaki was stunned for a moment, and glanced at Sugita Tsukasa's hair subconsciously. She grinned, wanting to smile, but quickly glanced back.

Sugita Tsukasa had just finished training. Although all the sweat beads on his body were condensed into ice particles by the cold air when using his abilities, his hair was wet and frozen. At this time, he had a super Saiyan aura, which was worthy of the

That expressionless and cold face seemed a bit inconsistent.

"What's going on?" Sugita asked.

Mai Aragaki quickly looked away, handed over a piece of information, and quickly reported the report, "We have screened the recently missing teenagers. There is nothing in common with their missing places and times, and they seem to be completely unrelated."

Having said this, Aragaki Mai glanced at Tsukasa Sugita who was looking down at the materials, and continued to report, "But after friends from the Communications Department conducted a large-scale communications investigation, they discovered that a week before these missing persons disappeared, she or she was

The words [Sigmund International Trading Company] appeared once or twice in the calls, text messages and online chat messages of the friends next to me.”

"Sigmund International Trading Company?" Tsukasa Sugita chewed on the name.

"That's right." Yui Aragaki nodded, handed another piece of material in her hand, and continued speaking quickly when she got into the mood:

"This is an international trading company. Many countries on the mainland have their branches. On the surface, the legal representative of the head office is an aristocratic woman. But in fact, when disputes arise in other countries, she is the one who comes to resolve them.

People from the interest group of Representative Hope of the World Government.”

"Congressman Hope? Is that him?"

Tsukasa Sugita narrowed his eyes slightly, subconsciously thinking of Catwoman, a thief who was arrested the day before yesterday after being reported by a high school student and handed over to the Judgment Department of the World Government.

The person who put pressure on the upper echelons of the Metropolitan Police Department at that time... seemed to be a captain of the Adjudication Division who had been promoted by Councilor Hope. Anyone who knows the inside story of the World Government knows this relationship.

Thinking of Representative Hope in the House of Lords, Sugita could not help but frown slightly.

The Parliament of the World Government was formed after the celestial beings invaded this world by aircraft a thousand years ago (later some historians believed that they were escaping) and the war that nearly destroyed the world and killed both humans broke out. The two sides stopped the car at the critical moment and compromised.

"Products of political independence".

The parliament is divided into the [Celestial House] and the [Public House], and over the years it was gradually shortened to the [House of Lords] and the [House of Commons].

The House of Lords is held by 500 nobles among heavenly beings, with no term limit;

The House of Commons is occupied by powerful people and social elites from more than 300 countries on two continents in the world who seek the right to speak for mankind. It also has 500 seats, is elected every three years, and has positions such as Speaker, Deputy Speaker and Directors.

.

Councilor Hope is the representative of an interest group among the heavenly nobles in the House of Lords. Although he is not as good as the "Nine Families" of the top heavenly nobles, his huge influence is also spread across two continents, and Hope himself is said to have a talent serial number of 22

[Cang Lei] is a seventh-level man with absolute ability, but he lives in seclusion and has people around him to handle everything. Very few people have seen him take action.

...

"International trading company?"

Sugita Tsukasa chewed on the name again.

With his sensitive professional sense, he connected the disappearance case with these things, and a word that was deeply hated by countless people quickly came to his mind.

Human traffickers!

But then came doubts.

...

You must know that most of the heavenly nobles are born with various abilities, and their physical quality is no less than that of those with low-level physical abilities. Therefore, they also think highly of themselves. In their eyes, ordinary humans are no different from livestock in the eyes of humans.

The reason why the old fox Masato Ishikawa in the previous search of the First Class found out about Representative Hope stopped the momentum. On the one hand, it was due to the pressure of the world government where the gods controlled most of the say. On the other hand, it was because of the pressure of Representative Hope on the world government.

The public identity is respected, even if the joint arbitration between the upper and lower houses is opened, it will be difficult for people to connect it with the disappearance case of ordinary humans in Wano Country.

But that’s exactly what happened.
To be continued...
