Although the store manager lost two arms, he was able to regenerate them after a period of time.

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

After the operation, the support team returned to the CCG headquarters in Area 1 to receive commendations.

Since Uchiha Byakuya made the greatest contribution, he was named "Special Meritorious Person" and was promoted to Quasi-Special Investigator.

He was appointed as the branch chief of the CCG branch in Area 2 and has the authority to command the investigation in Area 2.

As for the other investigators in the support team, although they did not make any contributions, they at least dared to act and also received some rewards such as bonuses.

Except for Uchiha Byakuya, no one was rewarded with a promotion.

At the same time, Uchiha Byakuya was summoned by CCG Chief Chairman and Shu Tsuneyoshi.

In a magnificent building that looked like a palace, Uchiha Byakuya met Kazushi Tsuneyoshi.

It was an old man with white hair and a dignified face, sitting on a seat that looked like a throne.

However, Uchiha Byakuya was very clear that this old man named Washu Tsuneyoshi was not just the CCG's chief chairman, but also a figure equivalent to the leader of the Washu family.

Moreover, he is extremely powerful. He once personally defeated and captured the SSS-level "Mother of Chaos" Fan Shiroma, and had already imprisoned her in the ghoul shelter "Kuklia" in Area 23.

"Uchiha Baiye, I remember that you are also a child from Bairi Court. Mustard once mentioned you to me."

He Xiu Changji said in a serious tone.

"Yes."

Uchiha Byakuya nodded respectfully.

He Xiu Changji continued, "With your ability, you are already qualified for the position of special investigator. The position of quasi-special investigator is just a transition for you. After you participate in a combat operation, you can almost be promoted to special investigator."

"..."

Uchiha Baiye just nodded and said nothing.

"After that, go back to the Day Court. Mustard wants to discuss something with you there."

This is where the conversation with Shuujouji and Uchiha Byakuya comes to an end.

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

Following the order of Chief Councillor Tsuneyoshi Washu, Uchiha Byakuya went to the White Day Court.

The most likely thing that Mustard wanted to talk to him was about the "sweeper", which was exactly what he wanted.

The Court of the White Sun is located in Area 1, but its exact location is very hidden and no outsider knows about it, because this place is commonly known as the "quarantine zone" of the Hexiu family, which is specifically used to isolate those half-human children.

Uchiha Baiye was born in Bairiting, so he naturally knew where Bairiting was. He soon came to this paradise-like place that was almost isolated from the world.

"Mr. Uchiha, please follow us."

Uchiha Byakuya was greeted by some of the Byakuriti's stewards and servants, who were responsible for taking him to Mustard Seed.

Since there are many young half-human children in the White Day Court, older ones like Uchiha Byakuya and Arima Takasho have either joined the V Organization or the CCG. So many children of course need the care of housekeepers and servants.

On the way to where Mustard Seed was, Uchiha Baiye could see some children in pure white clothes playing on the lawn and among the flowers.

Without exception, these children are half-human and half-blood.

Soon, Uchiha Byakuya met Keizi, and the housekeepers and servants all left on their own accord.

"Mr. Mustard."

Uchiha Byakuya greeted in a calm tone.

"Bai Ye, your parents were killed by our 'V' organization. You must hate us very much, right?"

This was the first thing Mustard asked when he opened his mouth.

"Indeed, I should hate the organization, but I have no choice but to work for 'He Xiu'."

Uchiha Byakuya replied without changing his expression.

CCG, White Court, and the "V" organization all belong to the Washu family. The "Washi" mentioned by Uchiha Byakuya means the collective term for these three.

"I am very clear about my situation."

Mustard seemed satisfied with Uchiha Byakuya's answer, "Don't worry, as long as you don't become a traitor, we will give you the best treatment, so... the next 'cleaner' will be you."

The tone of his voice sounded as if he left Uchiha Baiye no choice but to accept it, otherwise it would be disloyal to "He Xiu".

However, Uchiha Baiye had no intention of refusing at all.

He just accepted it without hesitation, "Okay."

"Although you were my most promising apprentice, he doesn't seem to be very active. He is still only a second-class investigator, so it is not convenient for me to order him to act."

At this time, Mustard Seed seemed to be complaining to himself.

Although CCG and the "V" organization are both under the Hexiu family, on the surface they are completely unrelated organizations.

Even except for the half-humans from the White Sun Court and the people of the Shuu family, no one in CCG knew the existence of the "V" organization, including the special investigators.

For some special reasons, CCG people cannot be informed of the existence of the "V" organization, so instructing Arima Takamasa to take action must be based on the fact that Arima Takamasa has a certain level of investigator, and he cannot appear to be too special a "relative".

As for why the former "cleaner" Yoshimura Kozen could be ordered around at will, it was because he was a ghoul and could not join the CCG, nor did he have to join. Unlike Arima Takashi, who was a half-human without a katana, he would need the Quinque provided by the CCG if he wanted to "clean up" powerful enemies. Even the lowest-level Quinque was far behind ordinary weapons.

Uchiha Byakuya, who has now been promoted to quasi-special investigator, meets Mustard's requirements.

"..."

Listening to Mustard's complaints, Uchiha Baiye said nothing.

"Speaking of which, the guy who invaded CCG in Area 2 today was Gong Shan, right? He is your 'predecessor'. If you can defeat him, you are the most suitable candidate for the next 'cleaner'."

At this time, Jiezi suddenly asked sharply, "Bai Ye, when you fought him, did you find any difference between him and the 'One-Eyed Owl' that appeared in the previous battles?"

Chapter 50 Becoming a Cleaner and Forming Team Zero

When the CCG defense battle in Area 2 just ended and the "One-Eyed Owl" was defeated, Jiezi personally tracked the "One-Eyed Owl".

When the "One-Eyed Owl" first appeared, he had a strong sense of familiarity, and his appearance was very similar to Gongshan's kagune.

His first reaction at that time was that the "One-eyed Owl" might be Gongshan or the child of Gongshan and the human woman.

If it was a good deed, then he wouldn't care. He didn't care about the lives of those CCG investigators at all.

But if it is Gongshan’s child with that woman...that would be terrible!

There are only two possible types of hybrids of humans and ghouls: half-human and half-ghoul. And the one who possesses the kagune and can transform into a kagune can only be a half-ghoul.

Natural born half-ghouls are what the Washu family dreams of. In fact, these half-human children in Bai Riting are all "failures". The fundamental purpose of the Washu family is to create natural half-ghouls, but they just send these "failures" to CCG and "V" organization to supplement their strength.

But if Gongshan’s child is not a member of the Hexiu family, he will become the biggest threat to the Hexiu family!

In order to confirm who the "One-eyed Owl" is, Mustard followed him all the way until he stopped.

In fact, Yoshimura Kousen had already discovered that Mustard was following him, so he stopped in this deserted place and changed back into human form.

"Gongshan...it's you."

Seeing the figure of Fangcun Gongshan, Jiezi was relieved, because if it was Gongshan's child, it would be a big trouble.

"Long time no see, Mustard."

At this moment, there was no longer the usual kind smile on Fangcun Gongshan's face, only a cold look.

"Don't be so cold, Gongshan. Our organization hasn't made things difficult for you, right? You can attack CCG however you want, but just don't say things that shouldn't be said."

Mustard talked freely as if he were meeting an old friend.

"We have almost finished reminiscing about the past. I should go back now."

Fangcun Gongshan obviously didn't want to waste time with Jiezi.

"Okay, then we'll reminisce when you're free."

After saying this somewhat sarcastic remark, Jiezi also left.

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

Originally, Mustard had confirmed that the "One-eyed Owl" was Yoshimura Kozen, but after receiving detailed battle feedback from CCG in Area 2, he began to have some doubts.

Because the previous "One-eyed Owl" was ruthless and would kill anyone he saw as an investigator, but today's "One-eyed Owl" was abnormal and did not kill anyone.

The contrast is too obvious.

And Mustard also knew very well that the Hezhe could change his form after becoming a Hezhe.

Therefore, it is not entirely certain that the "One-eyed Owl" that appeared several times before was also Yoshimura Kozen.

Uchiha Byakuya not only fought with Gongshan this time, but also fought with the "One-eyed Owl" before, so Mustard tried to see if he could get something out of Uchiha Byakuya.

"No."

Uchiha Baiye immediately shook his head and said, "The 'One-Eyed Owl' that attacked Area 2 this time is no different from the 'One-Eyed Owl' I fought in Area 24 before."

Of course he couldn't betray Yoshimura Kousen and Yoshimura Ate, so his tone didn't contain any hesitation and it didn't sound like he was lying at all.

"I see."

Although the doubts in Mustard's heart were still not eliminated, he had no evidence and could only put the matter aside for the time being.

"Then the 'cleaner' thing is left to you. You can form a 'zero squad' according to the situation. You can choose the rest of the 'zero squad' yourself. Try to choose half-humans from the White Sun Court."

Mustard returned to his job as a "sweeper".

[Ding! The host successfully completed "Task 100: Become a Cleaner" and received the reward: attribute points! ]

[Task 1 has been completed, activate Task 2]

[Task 2: Form a Zero Squad and expand it to three people]

[Task Reward: 10 Attribute Points]

"Then you will be the vice-captain of Squad Zero. I will select the rest later based on the situation."

Uchiha Baiye nodded.

Although he did not want Arima Takamasa to become a killing machine like in the original work, this did not conflict with his decision to make Arima Takamasa the vice-captain.

Because he has the final say in the entire "Zero Squad", he is the "cleaner" who will be restricted by the "V" organization, but he also has the strength to ignore the restrictions.

Therefore, bringing Arima Takamasa into the "Zero Squad" is actually indirectly helping Arima Takamasa.

"Yes, your strength is definitely not a problem, but he is not active enough. It just so happens that you can take care of him for me."

Mustard agreed immediately, and then he said: "It's rare for you to come back to Bairi Court, you can go and interact with those children. If there are any children you think have good potential, you can also select them as candidates for the 'Zero Squad'."

"Ok."

Uchiha Baiye responded.

Even if Mustard didn't say it, he would have had this idea.

It’s a rare opportunity to come to Bai Ri Ting, so of course I’m not in such a hurry to leave.

"Then let's leave it at that for now. When there's a need for you to take action, I'll send someone to tell you."

After saying this, Mustard lowered the brim of his hat slightly and left.

He did not give Uchiha Byakuya the unified "V" organization uniform, because Uchiha Byakuya had to work in CCG at the same time and could not reveal his important identity as a "cleaner".

As he watched the mustard seeds gradually fade away, Uchiha Byakuya remained expressionless.

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

Afterwards, Uchiha Baiye wandered around the Bairi Courtyard.

This can be said to be a very large yard, with flowers and plants everywhere, and half-human children playing everywhere. On the surface, it looks quite warm and beautiful.

Some children would greet him and he would respond in a friendly manner.

At this time, Uchiha Baiye met two special children.

A boy and a girl were lying on the lawn together, both looked to be about ten years old.

He recognized them at a glance; they were clearly Furuta Nifuku and Kamishiro Rize!

There are two blessings in the past and the benefits of the gods

Although Kamishiro Rize's real name was not this, she later inherited the surname of her adoptive father Kamishiro Harukei, but it is not clear what her real name is.
