The only person that Uchiha Byakuya is relatively familiar with in this world right now is Yoshimura At.

Anyway, as long as he didn't die in the line of duty, CCG would not send his suicide note to "Takatsuki Izumi" or open his suicide note, so he just filled it out casually.

............

The next morning.

The search team has set off to Area 24.

When Uchiha Baiye landed within the range of Area 24, a prompt sound came from the system.

[Ding! The host successfully completed "Task 24: Successfully joined the search team and went to Area 10", and obtained attribute points: attribute points! ]

[Task 1 has been completed, activate Task 2! ]

[Mission 2: Defeat the SSS-level ghoul "One-eyed Owl"]

[Task Reward: 100 Attribute Points]

....................

ps: Thanks to "Xiao Sir" for the two "God Certifications" for the gifts. There are too many gifts for the rest, so I won't thank them one by one. If there are too many, I will thank them all. And as usual, the total gift value will be settled and added after the first show of 10 words.

Chapter 14 Underground Maze

Defeat the "One-Eyed Owl"?

It's really difficult for him right from the start...

Although Uchiha Byakuya's purpose in this trip was to stop the "One-eyed Owl" from killing Madoka, he only wanted to rescue Madoka instead of fighting with the "One-eyed Owl".

If that's the case, then he plans to try to fight with the "One-eyed Owl" at that time.

............

District 24.

This is not actually a formal district.

To be precise, Area 24 is a huge maze dug by ghouls, and most of the underground of Tokyo is considered Area 24.

Furthermore, the depth of Area 24 is unfathomable, and it is said that the deepest part is the lair of a large number of ghouls.

Therefore, Area 24 is not a place where normal humans can survive, and it is impossible for CCG to set up a branch in this underground maze like other areas.

All CCG can do is send a search team to explore this mysterious maze.

Although CCG has already discovered more than one entrance to Area 24, only the entrance at the edge of Area 23 has more sufficient intelligence.

The search team has entered the 24th area underground maze through this entrance many times and explored it to a certain depth, so they generally do not use the other entrances to avoid being ambushed by ghouls when there is insufficient intelligence.

At this time, the search team that Uchiha Baiye was in had entered Area 24.

"Everyone should pay special attention to the movements around them. Ghouls may appear at any time."

Captain Marutesai walked in front and reminded the rest of the search team.

Everyone nodded solemnly. They all knew how dangerous this place was and did not dare to joke with their lives.

Uchiha Byakuya is of course no exception, his personality is relatively cautious, and he will not "float" just because he has double Kamuy.

While observing his surroundings, he also paid a little attention to the walls of the maze.

If he remembered correctly, these walls were actually made of kagune, just like how Quinque was made of kagune.

It’s just that Quinque is a technology developed by CCG, while the walls of the maze are equivalent to the technology developed by the ghouls.

The two sides' "technology" does not have much in common, so CCG has difficulty breaking the walls of the Area 24 maze.

This also brought great obstacles to CCG's search work in District 24. The search team's investigators did not want to waste too much energy destroying the walls, so they could only study the maze route while conducting the search.

At this moment, Uchiha Baiye vaguely noticed a figure in front of him, lying on the ground and seemed to be chewing something.

This is obviously a ghoul.

But at this time, no one except him has discovered it.

After a while, when they were closer, Marutesai suddenly noticed it and immediately gave the order.

"stop!"

At the command, everyone reacted quickly and stopped.

"Prepare for battle."

Marutesai said in a deep voice.

Of course, the ghoul noticed the noise and immediately dropped the human corpse he was gnawing on.

While running towards the depths, he shouted: "The 'White Dove' is coming! Another 'White Dove' is running in!"

"I'm really unlucky. I'm about to encounter a big battle right after I come in..."

Marutesai immediately sighed.

Once you encounter ghouls in the 24th area maze, you will most likely be besieged by a large number of ghouls.

The reason why the casualties of the previous 24-area search teams were so high was because they encountered this kind of situation.

This is unavoidable. Area 24 is the "nest" of ghouls, and ghouls will be encountered sooner or later.

"Don't act rashly now, and follow my orders."

Marutesai stared intently into the depths of the maze ahead.

The others waited for Marute's order, tightly grasping the briefcase containing the Quinque, and were so nervous that they could almost hear the sound of their own hearts pounding.

Apart from Marutesai, the most calm ones were Mado Wei and Uchiha Byakuya, followed by Mado Wuxu.

After a while, as expected, more than a dozen ghouls emerged from the depths of the maze.

"They're coming! Equip your Quinques!"

Marutesai immediately gave the order.

Everyone unlocked the biometrics of their suitcases and equipped their respective Quinques in their hands.

The shapes are basically different, and everyone's Quinque is unique. After all, the owner of the kagune that was made into a Quinque was also unique in the world...

Uchiha Byakuya has always been in the middle and rear of the search team. His rank as an investigator is relatively low, so it is impossible for him to be at the front of the team like Marute Special Officer and Mado Jun Special Officer.

Almost in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen ghouls rushed over fiercely and almost broke through the search team's formation.

At this moment, a ghoul happened to appear in front of Uchiha Baiye, and seemed to have regarded him as a target of attack.

"Uchiha No.2 be careful!"

Mado Wuxu immediately reminded Uchiha Baiye.

It seems that because Uchiha Byakuya is a newcomer, both in CCG and in the search team, Mado Wuxu is relatively caring towards him.

In the original work, Mado Wusuo was also very caring towards his colleagues, especially Amon Kotaro who was his subordinate and partner. However, when facing ghouls, he showed an extremely hateful and cruel face.

Uchiha Byakuya dodged the ghoul's attack by leaning sideways, and used the Quinque "Eric" to pierce the opponent's neck with a backhand.

High-level ghouls have extremely strong self-healing abilities, and this kind of severe injury to the neck is unlikely to be fatal.

But the ghoul that Uchiha Byakuya faced was obviously of a low level, and he died completely after struggling for a few times.

[Ding! The host defeated the "B-rank ghoul" and received a reward: 3 attribute points! ]

As expected, it was just a B-rank ghoul, and it was easy to deal with.

"Thank you for the reminder, Mado-senpai."

Although Uchiha Byakuya had a clear insight into the movements of these ghouls and did not need any reminders from Mado Wuxu, he still chose the most amicable response to Mado Wuxu's kindness.

"sharp..."

Mado Wuxu couldn't help but comment on Uchiha Baiye's fighting performance just now.

Such skills really come from that place...

He was distracted for a short moment, then immediately focused all his attention on dealing with the remaining ghouls.

In the end, this bloody battle ended without any danger.

Some people were injured but no one died.

After all, with Marute Tokusho and Mado Jun Tokusho present, these dozen or so ghouls of low level are not enough to deal with.

Uchiha Byakuya defeated a total of three B-level ghouls in the battle just now and gained a total of 9 attribute points.

"Let's take a short rest here first, treat the wounded as soon as possible, and then continue to move forward."

At this time, Marutesai spoke.

When Uchiha Baiye sat on a big rock to rest, Mado Wuxu also sat next to him.

"Your performance just now was really good, Uchiha No.2, but it's a pity that you can only equip a B-class Quinque. I'll help you apply for an A-class Quinque when we get back."

Chapter 15 Encounter with the One-Eyed Owl

Mado Wuxu's obsession with Quinque is reflected in many aspects. Not only does he like to study Quinque, he also attaches great importance to the strength of Quinque.

His point of view is that the B-level Quinque is no longer a match for Uchiha Byakuya's skills.

Although this is true, it is difficult to apply for a higher-level Quinque if the investigator's rank is not high enough.

Unless you expel the high-level ghouls yourself.

For example, Uchiha Byakuya is only a second-class investigator now, but if he personally expels an S-rank ghoul, the CCG will take back the ghoul's kagune, and the S-rank Quinque made from it will be his exclusive Quinque.

"I appreciate your kindness, Mado-senpai, but I don't really care about that."

Uchiha Baiye said.

"How can I not care? Quinque is very important... But I shouldn't force my ideas on you."

Although Mado Wuxu is very persistent about Quinque, he will not insist on changing other people's ideas.

After a while, when they had rested enough, Marutesai gave the order to continue moving forward.

After the great victory in the battle just now, the members of the search team were much more relaxed and began to communicate in low voices.

"Although it was quite thrilling just now, it's really different with Junto Mado waiting here."

"Yes, after all, he is a Mado Quasi-Special Class whose combat power is comparable to that of a special class. Unless he encounters the 'One-Eyed Owl', there shouldn't be any problems."

"...Don't be such a pessimist! It will be terrible if you really run into him later!"

"That shouldn't be the case, right? Didn't the 'One-Eyed Owl' just get severely damaged by the Kuroiwa-san and a large number of investigators? Logically, he would hide away for a while, right?"

When Uchiha Baiye heard someone next to him mention the "One-Eyed Owl", the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

He knew that he would definitely encounter the "One-eyed Owl" later, and could only say that these guys' bad mouths were outrageous.

............

The search team explored the maze of Area 24 for a long time.

Thanks to the intelligence provided by the previous search party returning to the CCG, Marutesai has an accurate route to avoid getting lost in the maze in the beginning.

But the deeper you go, the more difficult the exploration becomes because there is insufficient information deep in the maze.

"F124 is ahead, but we need to go deeper."

At this time, Marutesai reminded the team members behind him.

At this time, they were still completely unaware of the seriousness of the matter.

Only Uchiha Baiye knew very well what the F124 position meant...

Because...the "One-Eyed Owl" will appear in F124.

after a little while.

As expected by Uchiha Baiye, the figure of "One-eyed Owl" appeared in front of him.

He was wearing a black cloak that covered his face completely. Some of his kagune had been released from his back, but he had not yet transformed into a kagune.
