"Dang Dang, block it." A crisp knock on the door suddenly sounded, and Ito Cheng, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground holding a knife, closed his eyes and meditated, woke up from his sword meditation.

"Come in." Ito Cheng opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the door.

"Hey." With a soft sound, a young woman with short black hair opened the door and walked in.

"Sir, Lord Tsunoda is looking for you." The short-haired woman who walked into the room said respectfully.

"I understand." Ito Cheng said quietly.

After receiving the answer, the short-haired woman bowed and carefully exited Ito Cheng's room.

"This is the first time someone has been sent to look for me since I moved into the stronghold. It seems that there is a mission over there." Ito Cheng stood up from the ground with a knife and walked slowly towards the door, thinking to himself.

Soon Ito Shige left the room where he was temporarily living, walked through the already familiar corridor, and came to the large room where he met Tsunoda Kai and Kananuma Ken when he first entered the stronghold.

"What's the matter?" Ito Cheng, who walked into the room, said straight to the point to Tsunoda Kaito, who was sitting on a chair and cutting fruit with a fruit knife.

"I have a mission for you." Kaito Tsunoda reached out and grabbed a intact apple from the fruit bowl next to him, threw it to Ito Shige, and said.

"Pah." Ito Cheng raised his hand to catch the apple thrown by Kaito Tsunoda.

Then he casually threw the apple into the air, and immediately slashed it with his knife. A second later, a clear sound of "kill" was heard, and Ito Cheng reached out to catch the apple again.

"What mission?" Ito Cheng asked, shaking his hands to shake the skin off the apple.

"Crack." Ito Cheng opened his mouth and bit off a small piece of pulp from the apple, chewing it in the middle.

"The weapons team's regular mission is to find a sword." Seeing this, Kaito Tsunoda smiled slightly and explained, "You should know. For those of us who are experts in using weapons, a good weapon is hard to find. Although there are blacksmiths in the group who are responsible for making murderous weapons. But their number is too few. They don’t have enough time to just make special weapons for other group members, let alone help those of us make human-killing knives. , so in order to solve the problem of weapon gaps among the members of the group, there have always been tasks such as self-reliance assigned by the superiors."

"So, the last attack on me was also because I found a famous sword in my hand?" Ito Shige asked in confusion after hearing the explanation.

"Not bad." There is nothing to deny about this matter. Kaito Tsunoda admitted it simply. Then Kaito Tsunoda's words changed. Bringing the topic back to the mission, he said, "This mission is to ask you to go to No. xxx, xx Town, xx County, and get the famous sword collected by that family from that family."

"The target of the mission is just a knife. As for the life or death of that family, it's up to you." Tsunoda Kaito added.

Hearing this, Ito Cheng nodded and said nothing.

"I said, the way to find knives above will not always be like this." Then, Ito Cheng asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"Yes, what?" Kaito Tsunoda asked with a confused look on his face after hearing the question.

"It's nothing. I just feel like it's a waste of time to search like this." Ito Cheng shook his head and said.

"I heard that you have a better way to find a knife." Kaito Tsunoda looked at Ito and asked with interest.

"That's not true." Ito Cheng shook his head and denied, and then continued when Tsunoda Kaito had a look of disappointment on his face, "But I do know where to find a good sword."

"Where?" Kaito Tsunoda asked immediately.

"Have you heard of the Akabane sword?" Ito Cheng did not immediately tell where the good sword was, but asked again.

"Akaban swords? You mean those swords that were collected and kept in the Eighth Armory of the United States after the end of World War II?" Tsunoda Kaito frowned slightly when he heard this and said in thought.

"Not bad." Ito Cheng casually threw the cored apple in his hand into the trash can, nodded and said, "Although most of those knives are as unusable as ordinary knives, there are indeed many good knives among them. , and based on the number of existing Akabane swords, even if you pick one out of a thousand, you can still find four or five good swords that are good enough to use, not to mention that there are definitely more than four or five good swords in the Akabane swords."

"Yes, this is a good way to find a knife." Kaito Tsunoda pondered for a while, then stood up from his seat and looked at Ito Naomichi, "You go to perform the mission first, and I will tell you your proposal." .”

"Okay." Ito Cheng nodded and agreed.

Then he turned around and walked out of the big room, and before leaving the stronghold, he randomly found a pretty good-looking young woman in the stronghold to act as his driver, and she drove him to the county and city where the mission target was located.

Japan is not a big place, and the fact that the mission can be sent to Ito Cheng's stronghold means that the target is not far from the stronghold, so it didn't take long for Ito Cheng to arrive at the location of the mission target.

"The adults are here." The female driver who stopped the car reminded her loudly.

After receiving the prompt, Ito Cheng turned his head and looked out the car window, and then a large ancient Japanese-style courtyard building with a large area came into Ito Cheng's eyes.

"It seems like this family is still rich." Ito Cheng chuckled when he saw the scale of the building.

"Wait for me here, I'll be out soon." Ito said as he opened the door and stepped out of the car.

"Yes." The female driver nodded in agreement.

Ito Cheng stepped out of the car and walked straight to the white-gray wall of the courtyard building. He bent his knees and jumped over the wall into the courtyard. After standing there and observing the layout of the courtyard, he walked towards the main house. go.

"Wang, wang..." Just as Ito Cheng was about to approach the main house, a dog barking suddenly rang in Ito Cheng's ears.

Ito Cheng frowned when he heard the dog barking, turned his head sharply and stared at Hei Bei, who was tied by a thick black iron chain under the wall on the left side of the main house, and used his eyes to release a concentrated murderous aura to pierce Hei Bei's eyes. .

"Ouch~" The next moment, Hei Bei fell down on the ground suddenly as if he was frightened by something, and let out a low cry.

"Finks, what's wrong?" One person was wearing a light blue bathrobe. A man with a somewhat fat body, mixed black and white hair, and a face that looked like he was in his forties or fifties walked out of the main house. He asked looking at the big black back. Apparently he was disturbed by Heibei's cry just now.

"Who are you?" At this time, the owner of the house also noticed Ito Cheng's presence, and immediately frowned and shouted.

Ito Cheng didn't bother to talk nonsense about this guy and jumped directly to the man's side. He grabbed the other person's throat with his hands and pushed him back to the main room.

"If you don't want to die, just be honest." After entering the main room, Ito Cheng threw his hand and threw the man whose face turned red after he pinched him to the ground. He stared at the man with an indifferent expression and shouted.

"Ahem, who are you? Ahem, who are you?" The man who fell to the ground put his hands on his throat and coughed violently.

"Kill!" Seeing that the man was still thinking about asking who he was, Ito Cheng pulled out the long knife and put the tip of the blade against the man's forehead.

"If you have something to say, you have something to say." The man's face immediately turned pale and bloodless when he was forced by the cold aura emanating from the sword. He put his hands behind his back and slowly stepped back, looking at Ito Cheng with a panicked expression.

"I am a member of the Dark Weapon Team. I am here to find knives. If you don't want to die, give me all the knives in your collection." Ito Cheng said coldly.

"!?" The man's face changed again when he heard what Ito Cheng said about where he belonged, and he said with a trembling voice.

"It seems you know us." Ito Cheng glanced at the man in surprise and said, "Since you know us, you should know our style. My patience is limited. If you linger here, I don't mind killing you." Then find it yourself.”

"No, don't kill me. I will take out all the knives in my collection for you." The man's body trembled when he heard this, and his face was covered with sweat.

"Go quickly." Ito Cheng turned his wrist and swung the knife, taking the tip of the blade away from the man's forehead.

"I'm going, I'm going." The man who saw the blade taken away quickly turned around and ran to the side on all fours.

"Wow..." The man who stood upright again stretched out his hand to open a paper sliding door, and then a pair of full armor, two black spears, and three Japanese swords with different long knives appeared. In front of Ito Cheng.

"That's all?" Ito Cheng frowned as he looked at the items exposed behind the sliding door.

"These are the treasures in my hands. I have piled the ordinary things in the junk warehouse." The man raised his head to wipe the sweat from his forehead and looked at Ito Cheng carefully.

Ito Cheng put away the knife and walked to the sliding door. He reached out and took off the long knife from the knife holder and held it in his hand. He gently picked up the knife's jaw to expose the blade and lowered his head to examine it.

"The sword pattern is really good." Ito Cheng said quietly.

"Kill." As Ito Cheng's thumb moved, the blade retracted into the scabbard, and the collision between the sword's jaw and the sheath's mouth made a crisp sound.

Ito Cheng then checked the kodachi and rib forks on the knife holder one after another, as well as the full armor behind the knife holder and the dark wooden spears on both sides.

"Go get me a big box." Ito Cheng turned to look at the man and ordered.

"Yes." The man who heard Ito Cheng's voice trembled subconsciously and responded quickly. Then he turned around and ran to the back room to find a big box for Ito Cheng.

After a short while, the man returned to Ito Cheng with an old-fashioned large suitcase made entirely of fine bamboo and placed it on the ground.

Ito Cheng used the scabbard to gently pick the lock and opened the box.

"Put the armor and knives in for me." Ito Cheng ordered.

"Yes." The man's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he walked to the space behind the sliding door with a distressed look on his face. He took apart the armor and carefully put it into the box. After processing the armor, he put the set of three knives into the gap between the box and the armor.

"Take me to your sundries warehouse." Ito Cheng casually picked up the re-closed bamboo suitcase, looked at the man and ordered.

The man who heard Ito Cheng's request twitched his lips and moved with a look of unwillingness. He led Ito Cheng to the sundries warehouse located on the back right side of the main house, and unlocked the door of the warehouse with a key.

"Take out all those knives for me." Ito Cheng continued to order the man like a servant.

"Yes." The man hummed in resignation, walked into the warehouse, and took out several long knives stored in the warehouse.

Ito Cheng was not polite when he saw this and started checking them one by one.

"Tsk, they are really useless ornaments." Ito Cheng said with disdain as he sheathed the last long knife and threw it aside.

"For the sake of your cooperation, I won't kill you. Send me out." Ito Cheng, who picked up the bamboo suitcase next to him again, looked at the man and said with a smile.

"Thank you, thank you." The man who finally got the letter immediately felt relieved and saluted Ito Cheng with a grateful look on his face.

Ito Cheng ignored the man and turned around and walked out of the courtyard. When the man saw this, he quickly stopped his salute, walked quickly to Ito Cheng, and humbly led him out of his courtyard until he finally walked him out of his courtyard.

"Sir." The female driver who saw Ito Cheng coming out immediately stepped out of the car and saluted Ito Cheng and shouted.

"Open the trunk." Ito Cheng, who walked straight to the back of the car, ordered.

"Yes." The female driver agreed and opened the trunk of the car.

"Hey." After a soft sound, a gap opened in the trunk that had been tightly closed.

Ito Cheng reached out and opened the trunk, put the large bamboo suitcase in his hand into the trunk, and then closed the trunk lid again. Itocheng then returned to the car, ducked into the car through the door opened by the female driver.

Seeing Ito Cheng sitting down, the female driver reached out to close the car door, turned around and sat back in the driver's seat, closed the door and started the car, and drove back to the stronghold.

…

"Now, I got this from the target's house. In addition to three usable knives, there is also a set of good armor." After a while, Ito returned to the stronghold and walked into the large room. He put the box on the long table and said.

"Really? It just so happens that there are a few people in the group who haven't received their armor yet." Kaito Tsunoda laughed when he heard this. Then the conversation changed and he continued, "I have already reported to the superiors what you said before setting off. The superiors said that this can be done, so our task in the next period of time is to go to various museums to look for Akabane Swords."

"Is it just us?" Ito Cheng asked with a frown.

"No, because there are too many Akabane Swords, this internal announcement has been made to members of other groups. In terms of scale, it can be regarded as a small mobilization of the weapons group." Tsunoda Kaito explained with a smile.

"That's not bad." Ito Cheng nodded and said, "I just happened to take this opportunity to meet the members of other groups."

"Is there anything else? I'm going back to rest first." Ito Cheng looked at Tsunoda Kaito and asked.

"No more, go ahead." Tsunoda Kaito said.

Hearing this, Ito Cheng nodded, then turned around and walked out of the room, walking back to the room temporarily allocated to him. (To be continued.) Rubik’s Cube World
