We agreed to be in a band for life, what the heck is Dragon Raja?

It would be better to complete the exploration of the Abyss as soon as possible, find out the situation of this dragon that is about to be revived, and then secretly look for an opportunity to see if we can find the secrets hidden by the Snake Clan.

The other executives thought roughly the same thing.

If the plan to explore the Abyss goes smoothly, then they will be able to investigate Deadpool more easily after completing this mission.

"it is good."

Ye Sheng nodded.

"In that case, thank you for your hard work," said Nan Yun Yuyue.

"Once this deep-sea submersible is fully commissioned, Commissioner Ye can take your teammates to the depths of the trench for investigation."

"and many more!"

"Why are we in charge of the dive?"

Ye Sheng quickly recovered and said incredulously.

"Of course it's you guys," Nan Yun Yuyue said matter-of-factly.

"Didn't headquarters send you here precisely because of the situation deep within the Abyss?"

"Moreover, the specialists in the execution department are always highly experienced, making them perfect candidates for the diving mission."

Chapter 255 Chihaya Aine's Internship Mission

Why are we in charge of the dive?

Ye Sheng looked bewildered.

When he first heard Nanon Ugetsu recount the Snake Clan's plan, this was what he thought:

The Ganryu Research Institute developed a deep-sea submersible and then selected experienced agents from the Snake Clan to be responsible for the dive.

These specialists from headquarters were responsible for monitoring or guiding the operation.

Based on the findings of the Snake Clan's exploration in the depths of the sea abyss, a decision will be made on whether to contact headquarters and seek further reinforcements.

It wasn't until he heard Nanon Ugetsu's last words that he understood that the Snake-Headed Eight Families were planning to send them on a deep-sea submersible to the depths of the trench.

The other executives were equally stunned.

Dive down?

Although many of them enjoy diving, even with their mixed-race physique, they can only dive to a depth of one or two hundred meters at most, and they will never venture any deeper.

The deepest part of the sea area they are responsible for exploring is over 8500 meters.

Even when traveling in a deep-sea submersible, they would doubt whether such a submersible could withstand such pressure in the face of such an extreme abyss.

Although, according to Nagumo Ugetsu, the deep-sea submersible built by the Ganryu Research Institute was modeled after the Trieste,

However, this legendary piece of equipment in diving history is a product of the last century.

The Ganryu Research Institute has only developed a replica so far. Although they claim to have used a lot of high technology, no one knows how effective it actually is.

At such depths, if anything were to happen to the submersible, they wouldn't even have a chance to escape.

Seeing their expressions, Nan Yun Yuyue immediately knew what the specialists were thinking, and then added:

"Everyone can rest assured that this deep-sea submersible is being tested by the Ganryu Research Institute. So far, everything is normal, and its performance is even better than that of the one in history."

Miyamoto Shio also solemnly assured him:

"The Ganryu Research Institute can be said to be the most advanced scientific research institution in Japan, and its strength is in no way inferior to the Equipment Department of the headquarters."

"This deep-sea submersible is flawless, both in theory and in blueprints, and is fully capable of carrying out this mission."

Given the exceptional quality of this deep-sea submersible,

Then why... can't you send your Snake Clan's Execution Bureau agents to dive down?

Just as Ye Sheng was about to ask a question in return, Nan Yun Yuyue took over the topic from Miyamoto Shio, leaving him no chance to get a word in edgewise:

"Commissioner Ye, it just so happens that your commissioners from headquarters came here to investigate this matter. If you dive down, you will be able to see the situation on the seabed more directly."

"In this way, our Japanese branch will naturally be unable to conceal anything in this regard, and your investigation results will be more truthful."

Ye Sheng was stunned.

Nan Yun Yuyue completely shut down what he wanted to say.

He could have found a reason to refute the Snake Clan's arrangement, but Nan Yun Yuyue thoughtfully stood on the side of Kassel College and considered their perspective.

Sending these executive specialists to personally go down into the field is indeed the most direct way to prevent data falsification by the Sheqi Bajia.

If they find an ancient dragon embryo at the bottom of the trench, they can dispose of it directly to prevent it from being taken elsewhere by the Snake Clan.

Ugh……

Ye Sheng sighed inwardly.

In this way, they had no reason to object and could only agree to the Snake-Headed Eight Families' plan.

"In that case, the general strategy for this exploration plan is thus determined."

Nanyun Yuyue said.

He extended his right hand, shook hands with Ye Sheng, and then handed him a thick booklet.

"This is the operating manual for the deep-sea submersible. It's not complicated to use in practice, and you can master it in a day at most."

"The Sheqi Eight Families will take care of all other matters, including clearing the surrounding waters and the transportation and maintenance of the deep-sea submersible. You can rest assured."

Nanon Ugetsu smiled:

"Now that the plan for this exploration mission has been finalized, and you are all guests who have come from afar, we will have a welcome dinner tonight to wash away your travel fatigue. We hope you will enjoy yourselves."

……

These executive officers sent by the Kassel College returned to the ground, and they were about to travel by car to the hotel prepared for them by the Snake-Headed Eight Family.

As soon as they got on the bus, everyone instinctively took out their phones and started communicating on the executive department's communication platform.

"Ye Sheng, are we really going to follow the Snake Clan's plan and dive down ourselves?"

"Why would the Japanese branch be so comfortable letting us participate in this mission? Given their past behavior, they should be very resistant to the headquarters' interference."

Many team members expressed their concerns about this mission.

Although they were all high-level hybrids and had relevant mission experience before, the fact that they were to dive into the abyss thousands of meters deep under the arrangement of the Serpent Clan still made them uneasy.

Ye Shengdao:

"I just roughly estimated the size of the internal space of this probe."

"It was discovered that the hull of this deep-sea submersible can only accommodate 3 to 4 people at most. If there are more than 4 people, it will be very crowded."

"There are a total of six investigators on our trip to Japan, so we can leave at least two people on shore to be on guard against any tricks from the Snake-Headed Eight Families."

"If they really want to harm us, the two companions left on shore can quickly relay the intelligence back to headquarters and call for reinforcements."

Ok……

The executives who saw this message all nodded to themselves.

Ye Sheng's words did alleviate some of their concerns.

Even if four people are on a diving mission, the remaining two can stay on shore and keep an eye on the situation.

Although the two of them weren't confident they could escape the Snake-Headed Eight Family's pursuit.

However, they believed they had absolutely no problem using the communicators provided to Norma to send messages back to headquarters.

If the Snake Clan dares to secretly deal with these investigators, it won't be more than a day before the main force of the Kassel College will be pressing in.

"Let's assign the specific personnel for the dive," Ye Sheng typed.

"Of course, I will definitely go down myself. You can decide on the rest of the personnel yourself."

…………

…………

The executive officers quickly arrived at the hotel located in the Valley of Azabuchos.

at night,

Sheqi Hachike booked out one of the Japanese restaurants as the venue for this welcome dinner.

Step—step—step

Ye Sheng and Professor Davis walked in front, followed by the executives and interns.

The waiter bowed and led the distinguished guests through a long corridor before they entered the main hall.

This floor has been almost entirely transformed into a banquet space. The tatami mats are spotless, and a long table is placed in the center. It is made of a single piece of sandalwood, and the dark brown wood grain looks like flowing water under the light.

The ceiling lights are designed in the shape of traditional paper lanterns, with soft light falling from behind the translucent washi paper, reflecting a warm hue.

This restaurant is located on the same floor as Canu Tokyo, with a view of Tokyo Tower at night. On weekdays, you often need to book a table a week or even half a month in advance.

But after a phone call from the Sakurai family, the entire restaurant was vacated for the night, specifically to serve the distinguished guests of the Snake-Headed Hachi family.

"The Eight Families of Sheqi are indeed very generous."

Although everyone was somewhat wary of the Snake Clan, no one could deny that they were impeccably welcoming.

Genjiro sat at the head of the table, with Ugetsu Nagumo beside him. In addition, Nanami Sakurai and several senior executives of the Executive Bureau were also present.

"Although this is a welcome dinner, it is also a farewell dinner for everyone before you go on your mission. We have already exchanged pleasantries this morning, so please enjoy yourselves."

Yuan Zhisheng said.

The dinner party officially started.

Behind an eight-foot-long counter was an elderly man from Kyoto, who was said to have been the Emperor's personal chef.

Several apprentices stood beside him, each dressed in a white chef's robe and wearing a mask, handling various ingredients around them.

The dishes were served quickly; the first course was a sashimi platter that most of the people present had already eaten.

However, these five types of seafood sashimi use bluefin tuna air-freighted from Nagasaki, Hokkaido sea urchin, Setouchi red sea bream, and Toyama white shrimp, respectively.

The most expensive type is the "cold yellowtail" from the deep sea, sliced ​​into paper-thin slices and placed on crushed ice, where it shines translucently.

A waitress in a kimono introduced everyone to the group, then respectfully withdrew.

The next waitress then followed and brought the next dish.

Charcoal-grilled Wagyu beef, matsutake mushrooms in clear broth, simmered abalone, gold leaf sushi...

The accompanying sake is a rare Yamagata Prefecture Junmai Daiginjo sake, specially made for tonight.

This sake brand is called "Juyondai". In 2008, it was even selected by the Japanese government as one of the drinks served to foreign heads of state at the summit, which made it famous.

"Wow... what a show of force."

Ye Sheng smiled faintly.

However, the executives present would certainly not be impolite because of the lavish decorations.

Chihaya Aine secretly took out her phone and took several photos of the food, then put it away.

She naturally didn't take pictures of the faces of the attendees. Information about the high-ranking members of the Snake Clan was confidential. If she had actually pointed the camera at Genjiro, a Snake Clan agent disguised as a waiter would have come forward to remind her.

Nan Yun Yuyue would occasionally discuss the mission with Ye Sheng, and would also subtly inquire about the situation at Kassel College.

Ye Sheng was very curious about the new director of the executive bureau. The training methods and campus life of Kassel College were not exactly secrets, so he told Nan Yunyuyue about them without reservation.

"Director Nagumo is so young. If he is willing, he can come to Kassel College for further studies. The college would definitely welcome him."

Ye Sheng took a sip of sake and then spoke.

Nan Yun Yuyue smiled but did not comment on it.

He might visit Kassel College in the future, but certainly not now, and certainly not simply as a student.

This little incident passed quickly.

The atmosphere of the entire banquet was very harmonious. There was no tension between the Snake Clan and Kassel College. Even when the topic of the mission came up, the conversation was very peaceful.

After the dinner,

The executives, armed with instruments, inspected every corner of their respective rooms.
