My Space-Time System-Chapter 453
Chapter 453: [Bonus chapter]Underground floors of the square.
On entering the room, the eyes of 10 ash corps darted around the room. They saw the gorgeous dark-skinned Ashley, but beside her was an 18-year-old boy.
‘Is he our captain?!’
This was the same question that was on the mind of almost every one of the ash corps that entered the room.
“Good day everyone, I am captain Blake and you all have been assigned to my unit.” Blake said.
‘So he is our captain.’
‘What were the higher-ups high on when they thought of putting a kid in charge of a special ops unit?”
‘Then he says his name is Blake? My junior at the magic school?’
.....
‘So he is the one that won the regional competition. I never knew I would be assigned to his team.’
All 10 ash corps had different views on Blake being their captain. Most thought that he wasn’t fit to be a captain, while the rest were indifferent about it, but he didn’t care about their micro-expressions as he continued.
“I would have loved to assess each of your strengths and weakness, set certain rules and create a form of synergy between us, but we have already been assigned a mission.” Blake said shocking everyone.
“A gang war had occurred in the slums, and we have been tasked to investigate and wipe out both gangs.” Blake said causing even more confusion.
The 10 ash corps were confused about the investigation aspect. They were usually given information about the investigation and then tasked to plan and eliminate the target.
“I know all are thinking of how we are going to investigate the case when you have no experience. Well, leave that to me. So all you have to do is be ready to act when need be.” Blake said.
“Dismissed.”
When all of them were out of the room, Blake turned to Ashley and asked.
“Can I get all the information concerning the case? Also, I would like to take a look at the corpses.” Blake said.
“The case file would shortly be sent to you. As for the corpses, do you want to see them now?” Ashley asked.
“Yes. Please lead the way.” Blake said as they left the office.
They stepped on one of the many moving platforms, and then made their way to the closest teleportation room before warping to the 1st floor below the ground floor.
The underground floors were bigger than those above in size even though there were no offices.
The 1st underground floor was dedicated to storing and analyzing pieces of evidence and things alike. Although it was not as heavily guarded as the other 2 floors, only those that had cases were granted access to the areas concerning their case.
The 2nd floor was dedicated to inventions, research and other top-secret activities. Teleportation to this floor wasn’t allowed unless one was a top-ranking official. 𝘧r𝑒𝘦𝒘𝘦𝙗ｎovel.𝐜o𝒎
Also, the only entrance to the floor was through the elevators that were heavily guarded right from the elevators to different points of the floor.
Finally, the 3rd floor was the area where all artifacts used by the corps were stored. The guards of the floor were nothing below the demigod realm, and this was because of two reasons.
The first was obviously for security, and the second was because of how dangerous the floor was. With the presence of so many powerful and cursed artifacts, one could easily lose their life without knowing what killed them.
Even though all of the artifacts were sealed, some were so powerful that they couldn’t be properly sealed causing them to affect the outside world to a certain degree.
That was why all the guards were specially trained to identify and control any issues that may arise.
As for how artifacts were gotten from the 3rd underground floor for missions. The ash corp in charge of the mission would request to a higher up and when granted, a message would be sent down to the floor.
Then depending on the power level of the artifacts, those in charge of bringing them out for use would unseal them before delivering them to the person that had requested it.
The process one had to go through to get their hands on an artifact was one of the reasons why Blake had to scan the corpses.
‘Although I have never felt uncomfortable at the sight of blood, I am too young to be doing this.’ Blake let out a sigh of helplessness.
He would have wished he could use Beholder to find out the culprits but after reading the manual that was sent to him he realized that artifacts were only given out depending on the importance of the mission.
Gang violence in slums was considered one of the lowest grades of crime especially since it happened often.
“Captain Blake, what exactly are you looking for in the corpses?” Ashley couldn’t help but ask as she felt the request was weird.
“Some gangs make use of weapons with shapes unique to them. So I am looking for stab wounds so that I could scan the wounds and figure out if all the dagger injuries are all the same.”
“If they are all the same we could track all the places that could have sold, produced or even imported the weapons. From there we could also track their customers, which could lead us to the culprits.”
Blake explained as he didn’t take his eyes off the corpse he was currently scanning, but he had no idea that he had left Ashley speechless.
‘His thought process is so deep. So that is how he had been solving all the cases that came his way.’ Ashley thought.
“Captain Blake, there is a problem with that.” Ashley said causing Blake to straighten up and look at her. 𝑓𝔯𝑒e𝘸e𝘣𝓷𝘰ѵe𝚕.c૦𝙢
“Yes?” Blake asked.
“The ash corps doesn’t have the info of everything produced and imported into the city.” Ashley said.
