Paradise: Ready Player One

After speaking, Estes took one last look at the inscription on the tombstone, then turned and left resolutely.

Will not come back after that.

Weak people who are eliminated are not worthy of her commemoration.

"Speaking of which, today seems to be the day for the new Tegu envoy's subordinates to report. I don't know what kind of guys they will be, so let's play with them a little bit."

Esdeth recalled what the minister said to him this morning, and his mood lifted a little.

According to the minister's words, the talents he arranged for himself were all guys with no status and a lot of criminal records.

Problem children belong to yes.

If it weren't for this, the department heads of various places would not have given it so neatly.

Anyway, it was Tegu's envoy.

However, the originally agreed six people can only have five people now, and one of the selected people has died a few days ago.

Speaking of which, Estes had seen the other party for the last time.

The number of Tegu envoys in the empire is limited, and it is obviously not easy to fill this vacancy for her in a short period of time.

Estes didn't care too much.

It should be said that in such a short period of time, being able to gather five Teigu envoys is already something to be happy about.

At the same time that Estes was rushing to the location of the suicide, one of the five selected Tegu envoys, a young man named Will, was leaning against the door of the conference room and doubting his life.

He was originally a member of the Imperial Navy.

Some time ago, he just received an order from the empire, and left the navy to join the special police composed of Tegushi under the command of Esdes.

From the remote navy to the capital of the empire, this is also a kind of promotion.

Will couldn't think of a reason to refuse.

In order to better establish a good relationship with his new colleagues, he specially changed into fashionable clothes and brought special products from his hometown as suggested by his parents.

As soon as the door of the meeting room was pushed open, a man wearing a strange mask was seen sitting in the middle of the hall.

The two holes on the mask are silently watching him.

This startled Will, thinking that he had walked out of the room and accidentally came to the torturer's place.

Only Imperial torturers wear masks that conceal their faces.

"It should be right, this is the room"

Will glanced at the transfer order in his hand several times, confirmed that he had not gone to the wrong room, and reacted belatedly.

"Could it be that that guy is my future colleague? It should be said that he really deserves to be the imperial capital?!"

Will lingered for a while before working up the courage to push the door open.

After entering the conference room, he didn't dare to look straight at the strange-looking man in the room, so he found a seat away from him and sat down.

What made Will uncomfortable was that the man in the mask kept staring at him.

For a while the pressure surged.

Will wants to go home now.

Fortunately, this awkward atmosphere did not last long.

The sound of footsteps coming from the door made Will feel alive again. Looking up, it was still a lovely girl who entered the door, her eyes brightened a lot.

The girl looked about fourteen or fifteen years old.

She has beautiful black hair, and her pupils are the same color as her hair.

Wearing a dress similar to a sailor suit, the girl looked a bit playful, and her tight black pantyhose made her legs straighter and slender.

The long knife slung around her waist showed that this young girl was definitely not as harmless as she looked.

The girl's eyes quickly flicked across the faces of the two people in the room, then she pulled out a chair and sat down, took out a large bag of desserts and ate them wholeheartedly.

Will noticed that there were five very prominent words written on the bag.

(Hei Tong's dessert)

This not only revealed the girl's name, but also indirectly told others about the girl's foodie nature.

Will wants to get close, so that they can deal with each other later.

After all, the people who can appear in this room will undoubtedly be his companions in the future.

"You should also be the summoned Tegu envoy, my name is Will..."

It's just that Will's overtures didn't work. Instead, Heitong misunderstood his intentions, hugged the snacks in his arms, and warned Will like a kitten protecting food.

"I won't give you snacks!"

"..."

After hearing this, Will can be sure that he is the only normal person in the room.

The atmosphere fell back into unbearable anxiety and embarrassment.

One was eating snacks without stopping for a moment.

The other just kept staring at himself.

Will feels that the future will definitely not be too easy.

Soon he realized that his judgment was too early, it was not easy, there was simply no way out.

The door of the conference room was pushed open again, and a tall young man who was so exquisitely dressed that he felt a bit "mother" entered along with the petals.

"Pay attention to the first impression, that is a well-bred fashion man"

The guy's name is fashion.

He is a well-known scientist in the empire, proficient in human body modification.

"..."

Will was even worse.

Because he found that the "pseudo-mother" in front of him seemed to like him very much.

Will's instincts are sharp.

The well-dressed fashion pushed the frame of the frame, and the eyes under the lens were faintly shining.

"Although you can be sure that you are from the countryside at a glance, but you are surprisingly good-looking and have great potential for development. I will train you well, so please give me your advice!"

"..."

Will's urge to go home grew stronger.

He was afraid that if he stayed here again, his chastity might be at risk of being lost.

Just when Will felt that his life was hopeless and his future was gloomy, a ray of light came in and illuminated his world.

“Didn't think I'd be the last to arrive”

Following the fashionable footsteps, a handsome young man with blond hair came in.

"Hi, my name is Lan"

"...Hello, my name is Will, please give me your advice"

"To each other, please teach me a lot"

Will looked at the very friendly smile on the corner of Lan's mouth, and instantly felt that the situation was not that bad, at least there were still normal people in the team.

Excited for a while, he couldn't help getting up and holding Lan's hand, so excited that his eye sockets became moist.

"Finally a companion who can communicate normally"

"……Forehead"

Lan was at a loss. At this moment, in his eyes, Will became an abnormal person.

He wanted to pull his hand back, but Will's grip was too tight and he tried several times without success.

Just when Will was sympathizing with Lan unilaterally, the man wearing a mask made some tea and brought it over at some point, and said shyly.

"Everyone...I made tea for everyone"

"I'm sorry, I was the first person to arrive, but I didn't say anything, because I was a very shy person, very nervous, and didn't know how to speak, but now it seems that I should be the oldest person present One, so take responsibility"

"We, who are also Teigu envoys, like to be able to get along happily in the future"

"I am Porus from the Burning Force"

Porus' speech made everyone present recognize the man in front of him again.

Although he seemed so shy and coy when he spoke, it was far from his rough and frightening appearance, but the sincere emotion in his voice narrowed the distance between several people.

Will was a little surprised that Porus, who looked scary in front of him, would stare at him so nervously that he could not say a word because he was afraid of strangers.

What fashion cares about is the army that Porus was originally in.

That is a profession that is difficult to like.

This can also understand why Porus is dressed in this way.

Hei Tong still kept his ears shut and only ate the biscuits.

"But then again, shouldn't there be six people? Is there anyone who hasn't arrived yet?"

Will calculated the time, and it was almost there.

It can't be that someone is late on the first day of ***, no one should have such courage.

You know, their boss is that general.

"Well, there were originally six people, but unfortunately the one who was supposed to be there died a few days ago."

Speaking of this, fashion couldn't help sighing.

It was a pity that he was beheaded and killed just like that, the transformation object he hadn't finished yet.

"So that's how it is..."

Will didn't know what to say for a moment.
