Kazami Yuya parked the car near Tokyo Bay Pier and looked out from the car. It was very late at night and he couldn't see very far.
The car window reflected his thin face, short lean hair, and sharp eyes behind glasses, making him look very determined.
Wearing the mask he prepared in advance and covering the lower half of his face, he looked like an agile ninja. He opened the car door, held an umbrella and walked out, looking around seriously.
The previous heavy rain has turned into a drizzle, and it can be expected that it will stop soon. On the wet pier, the whistles of distant ships can occasionally be heard, making the surroundings even more quiet.
Regarding the importance of this operational mission, Kazami Yuya is very clear. In order to live up to the expectations of his boss Fangtani Rei, he must always be energetic and complete every step efficiently and perfectly.
Suddenly, another black car stopped not far away, which made him look stern, and he stopped and took a look. The other car was probably his competitor this time.
A strong man stepped out of the car. He was tall, broad-shouldered and round. The mask he wore on his face was that of a red-faced devil with exposed fangs and a bloodthirsty smile. He looked particularly vicious in such an environment.
The two people looked at each other without any intention of talking. According to the recruitment rules, they could not communicate with each other.
They each withdrew their gazes, and the two of them walked towards Warehouse No. 404. The closer they got, the more strange people there were, and it seemed a bit lively.
Wait! That’s not right!
Andrey Kamel, he was sent in by Shuichi Akai, that is, a strong man wearing a devil mask.
At this time, his eyes widened, looking at those "things" that shouldn't exist. The man in black robe just carrying a giant scythe could be said to be pretending to be serious.
But what are those monsters that don’t even have a human form? That bluestone can actually walk!
What kind of existence did Mr. Akai let himself get close to? Is this the truth about the black organization?
He suddenly thought of the strange recruitment rules, and almost all of the requirements were confusing.
[Remember not to communicate with any humanoid or non-humanoid creatures on the road]
Originally, he was surprised by the wording of this sentence. It seemed more like a sick sentence, and upon closer inspection, it seemed that it was also a sick sentence. But combined with the situation here, it seems to be particularly appropriate now.
Humanoid creatures may not be humans, and non-humanoid creatures may not be humans either, but they may not be without intelligence. Is this what you mean?
Kamel felt as if he was a mortal sneaking into the country of monsters. It seemed that if he was not careful, he would be recognized by the ghosts and monsters around him, and then they would tear him into pieces and devour him.
Several short monsters with talismans on their faces were passing by. Kamel did not dare to underestimate these things at all. Maybe they were scary or weird monsters that could easily kill him.
At this time, Kamel suddenly admired the thin man in front of him. It seemed that he was very calm when facing these things. He just looked at them casually for a few times and continued to move forward.
Zero o'clock was approaching. Kamel stopped thinking about it and quickened his pace. He tried hard to suppress the doubts in his mind and kept calm as he walked through the four ghosts. When he passed by the ghosts and ghosts, he didn't look away and went straight to the door of the warehouse.
Go.
Toru Amuro was already waiting in the warehouse. He was wearing a white fox mask with red stripes, which looked a bit like the fox-faced fox in Shikigami. He looked at his watch and saw that the time had reached midnight, so he clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention.
After that, he said:
"Those who haven't arrived yet are disqualified. Those who have already arrived should leave now if they want to." After saying that, Toru Amuro glanced at the applicants.
The people in front of me are wearing all kinds of masks, Japanese, European and American, niche, popular, rough, exquisite, and so on. It looks like a masquerade, but more like a meeting of monsters.
.
No one responded, and Toru Amuro nodded secretly. It seemed that his previous efforts were effective, at least he stopped those unreliable guys.
"Since no one wants to quit, let's move on to the next link. The assessment will be conducted in pairs in a while. You can form your own team. However, it is still the previous requirement. No verbal communication is allowed. Please remain consistent throughout the process.
silence."
Amuro didn't know what the person under this request was thinking, but he actually found it a bit strange. Why should the applicant remain silent?
Does the president hate people who talk too much? Or does he simply think this is more in line with his work content and style?
Kazami Yuya looked at Toru Amuro and saw that he didn't seem to have any instructions, so he had to look among other applicants. Although there were many people, he still fell in love with the big man he met on the road at a glance.
His figure is too conspicuous, and he is considered a mentalist himself. Although his physical strength is stronger than that of ordinary people, he is still much weaker than a physical professional.
It’s not clear what the assessment will be for a while, but judging from the attributes of the applicant unit, there should be no missing parts related to physical strength.
Coincidentally, Kamel also looked at him, seeming to have made similar considerations as him. The two looked at each other, nodded in agreement, and then stood together.
On the other side, the personnel sent by the winery, Calvados and Kusuda Rikudō, each found a teammate and did not get together.
If they get together, they are likely to be eliminated together without saying anything, and they are not familiar with each other in the first place.
After everyone formed a team, Toru Amuro discovered that there was no one left alone, it happened to be an even number, which was a bit of a pity.
"Which group comes first?" Toru Amuro asked directly, without even mentioning the content of the assessment.
Kazami Yuya and Kamel looked at each other and took the initiative to stand up.
Although his boss did not disclose the content of the assessment in advance, Yuu Kazami believed that Toru Amuro would not cheat him. After all, it was Toru Amuro's instruction that he came to apply for the job.
Toru Amuro didn't make any eye contact with him. He pointed directly at the coffin beside him and said: "Two people, carry the coffin and set off. According to the paper man's instructions, if you go back and forth on the fixed route within half an hour, you will pass."
Kazami Yuya and Kamel did not ask any questions, but silently walked towards the coffin. On the coffin board, there was a white paper man with a red string on his head waving to them.
At first glance, it seems like a cute scene, but combined with the room full of masked people and the dim light, it just looks weird.
The coffin has been tied with wooden poles for easy lifting. It is not too heavy for two people to carry a coffin, but when Kamel and Kazami Yuya got started, they suddenly felt something was wrong.
This weight...
There is definitely something in the coffin!
The two people's arms sank, and their hearts sank. They couldn't help but wonder what was inside. Judging from the weirdness of this recruitment, a corpse was obviously underestimated...
The paper man climbed up to Yuya Kazami in front, patted his forehead, and signaled him to leave quickly, as there were people waiting behind him.
Under the gaze of various masks, Kazami Yuya and Kamel left the warehouse. The moment they stepped out, the shikigami gathered!
