Shirou's clones number 30 million

However, if I had that ability, I would probably go out for a flight at night.

Suddenly, water droplets fell from my head.

"Oh my god...! Why did it suddenly start raining!" Anju Naoshiro exclaimed in surprise.

"We're indoors, right? How could we possibly get wet in the rain?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Anju Kuro realized something and quickly looked up at the ceiling:

"The house...isn't leaking!"

The light rain drizzled down, dripping onto my face with a cool sensation.

"It's so cold! This rain isn't even keeping my clothes dry. Xiaobai, I feel like I'm completely soaked."

"Me too. Waaah... This rain is so weird! Am I really dreaming? How could there be rain that goes through walls and clothes and just soaks you?"

"Ah...! I feel like even my skin can't stop the rain, it's like it's seeping into my body?"

The Anjiu sisters instinctively clasped each other's hands, looking around in fear.

In this situation, forget about umbrellas; they're definitely useless.

"Xiao Hei, it started raining as soon as Teacher Yanfeng went out. Could it be that Teacher Yanfeng did this?"

"Huh...? That can't be right. Professor Kotomine would never do something like this, it's like a prank."

"What should we do? If this continues, our clothes will be completely soaked."

"Not only clothes, but also bedding and the floor were soaked. However, the good news is that the rainwater didn't stay on the ground. Although it got a little wet, it's not a big problem."

"How could it be a minor problem? The sofa is already soaked! Waaah... I want to cry."

"I want, too."

......

Antique coffee shop.

"It's so cold...! Is the house leaking?"

Touka Kirishima, who had just fallen asleep, quickly turned on the light and looked up at the ceiling.

The next moment, she froze on the spot.

The ceiling seemed to disappear at that moment, as rainwater continuously seeped through the walls and fell down.

No, not only the walls, but also the blankets and pajamas couldn't keep out the rain, it was like wearing nothing at all.

"I feel so uncomfortable... Do I have a cold? I was only caught in the rain for a little while, less than a minute."

For some reason, as the rain soaked her, Touka Kirishima suddenly felt weak.

It felt like being in a high-altitude region, with a feeling of being unable to exert any strength and being unable to breathe.

"Huff...huff..."

After catching her breath for a while, she gradually adjusted to her weakness and exhaustion, opened the door, and went out.

At the same time, the other members of the antique group also came out of their respective rooms one after another.

"I suddenly feel like I have no strength left. What about you guys?"

"Me too. After getting caught in the rain, I feel weak and powerless, like I have a bad cold."

"What on earth is going on? This rain is like magic; the walls and clothes can't block it at all."

boom!

As they were talking, Koji suddenly fell to the ground and slid down the stairs.

"Ouch...! That hurts!"

He struggled to his feet, turned around, and said:

"The floor is wet from the rain and a bit slippery, so please be careful."

"Wait a minute! I don't think I managed to use my kagune just now?"

Koma leaned against the wall, trying to use his kagune repeatedly, but there was no response.

His earnest efforts made Touka Kirishima burst out laughing:

"What are you doing? You're acting like a middle-aged person with a delusional disorder."

"Touka, take a look, can you still use your kagune?"

"Of course you can...wait...? Where's my kagune? Why isn't it responding?"

As they gradually calmed down, the two quickly looked at the other people who were walking over and asked them if their kagune was normal.

A few minutes later, in the living room on the second floor.

“So… things are very clear now, we have all lost our kagune.” Yoshimura Kōzen said thoughtfully, “Although I would like to say that this is the CCG’s secret weapon, based on my understanding of them, the CCG could not possibly have such an ability.”

Touka Kirishima sat on the soaked sofa, brushing her wet hair to one side, and complained impatiently:

"What's going on? This weak and powerless appearance is just like a human's."

Her words made Yoshimura Kozen's eyes light up.

Indeed, I felt something was wrong just now.

Without kagune, the body is weak and powerless; isn't that what makes a human?

Perhaps, we really will become human.

"I have an idea. Please wait here for a moment."

Soon, he came over with a plate of cookies.

As a coffee shop, it naturally offers sweets such as cakes and cookies.

However, as ghouls, they themselves have never eaten a single bite.

"The rain wasn't heavy, but it kept falling, and the cakes were ruined. However, these cookies, although a bit wet, are still edible."

"Manager, would you like some?" Kirishima Touka asked cautiously.

"Well, let's give it a try. Maybe we'll all be turned into humans by this rain."

Yoshimura Kōzen picked up a biscuit, put it in his mouth, and gently bit it. The sweet taste mixed with rainwater immediately came from the tip of his tongue.

Tears immediately streamed down my face.

Fortunately, her cheeks were already wet from the rain, so it wasn't very noticeable.

"Store manager?"

"It seems my guess was right. We... have all been turned into humans by this rain."

Chapter 159 Better to kill the wrong person than let the guilty go free

Chapter 159, Section 160: Better to kill the wrong person than let one go.

"Is this what humans eat?"

Touka Kirishima took a bite of the biscuit, tasted the unfamiliar flavor, and fell silent.

The cookies, soaked with rainwater, didn't taste very good, but for her, it was a completely new experience and an unprecedentedly delicious treat.

"Manager, have we... really become human?"

"That should be it. The kagune has disappeared, and the body has become weak and powerless. I tried it when I came over just now. The 'meat' I used to eat has become difficult to swallow now. It seems that there is no difference between us and humans."

"It was just a rain shower."

Kirishima Touka inexplicably recalled Hinami's retelling of a statement made by a CCG Special Investigator: ghouls are, in essence, humans.

The biggest difference between humans and ghouls is actually their kagune.

"Manager, in this situation, if ghouls attack, won't we be completely powerless to fight back?"

"Yes, if that happens, call the CCG for help."

Yoshimura Kozen paused for a moment, then continued:

"However, I don't think the rain will be that small. Maybe... it's actually a massive rainstorm that's affecting the whole world."

"Huh...? If that's really the case, doesn't that mean all ghouls have disappeared? In that case, will the quinques created from kagune also disappear?" Touka Kirishima asked subconsciously.

“If that’s the case, the world will become much like the dream I’m always having.” Yoshimura Kozen smiled slightly. “No ghouls, no investigators, brand new as ever.”

......

Somewhere in the city.

Although it was past midnight, Mado Kureo was still working overtime, searching everywhere for clues about ghouls.

"Where am I? What's wrong with my memory? Have I been sleeping too much lately?"

Two days ago, he vaguely remembered that he had eliminated a certain ghoul.

But my memory of that time is very vague; I only have a vague impression, and I can't remember the rest at all.

I don't remember if that ghoul was male or female, what it looked like, or what its abilities were.

Although I really want to tell myself that it's just a dream.

But the feeling of anger lingered in his heart, making it difficult for him to fall asleep.

So, these past two nights, he's been working overtime alone.

"I definitely killed a ghoul, but why can't I remember it at all? Could it be that the ghoul had the ability to bewitch others and cause them to lose their memories?"

While he was deep in thought, his ears twitched involuntarily.

At the same time, a strange sound came from the alleyway.

Ghouls!

"It must be those disgusting guys, I can already smell the stench."

Mado Kureo tightened his grip on the quinque suitcase in his hand and hurried inside.

The next moment, the scene that appeared before him made him stop in his tracks, staring at the distance with a look of shock on his face.
