I am a female swordsman.

Reborn as the Führer of the Third Reich, he not only has nothing, but also has to clean up a mountain of messes!

Chapter 108 The Twisted Humility

District 11, an office

"You defeated Aet of the Bronze Tree?"

"No."

"Then why didn't she kill you? There's no reason you should have survived."

"You shouldn't ask me this question; you should ask Aite." Huang Quan maintained her usual calm and composure, remaining indifferent to the questions posed by the men in black suits from the Internal Affairs Department. Just as Huang Quan had predicted, after some probing questions, the Internal Affairs Department abruptly shifted the focus to Aite.

This is the only suspicious point about Huang Quan's battle in District 11.

As many people know, Huang Quan San Deng was nearly sent flying out of the building by Aite's attack. The difference in strength was obvious.

But then Huang Quan unleashed an astonishing power!

Not only did they successfully hold off Eto, but they also drove all the ghouls who had reached the 19th floor out of the battlefield. What exactly happened between [Sword Demon] and [Eto] during that period of silence, when no one witnessed it and all surveillance cameras were destroyed, remains a mystery. Perhaps it was out of fear of [Aogiri Tree] that they hastily sought out Yomi.

Upon hearing Huang Quan's indifferent reply, the men in black suits responsible for questioning and taking notes exchanged glances.

Troublesome!

Huang Quan's reaction was normal, a typical example of non-cooperation during an investigation. This attitude was not uncommon in many investigations conducted by the Internal Affairs Department, and the men in black suits did not show any impatience, continuing their questioning. Lacking crucial evidence, Huang Quan easily evaded the men's attempts to lead him astray or use linguistic traps.

While the men in black suits tried to get more information about Aite from Huang Quan, Huang Quan was also observing them.

The man in the black suit had rough, tanned skin, suggesting he was frequently out and about. His nails were neatly trimmed, and there were calluses on his hands, indicating he often used melee weapons. Since he was a CCG member, he was very likely a Kunk. His posture, especially the way he habitually rested his hands on his sides when not in use, and his right hip, which was probably where he frequently kept his weapons, further suggested this.

Most importantly, their gaze always seems to fall on one's vital points, giving off a dangerous and oppressive feeling. Even the men in black suits themselves may not realize how conspicuous their behavior is compared to untrained ordinary people.

Or perhaps they simply don't bother to hide it...

If we consider the men in black suits as our hypothetical enemy, Huang Quan would need to understand their weapons to make a judgment. But one thing is certain: the men in black suits from the Internal Affairs Department possess physical abilities far exceeding those of ordinary people, like furnaces.

"Very good, there is one last question: the Yellow Springs, third class."

"please say."

"I heard you discovered a suspected ghoul mutual aid organization in the 20th ward, and even captured Ryoko Fueguchi to learn about this organization. Is that true?" The man in the black suit suddenly changed the subject, turning his attention to the 20th ward. This was something Yomi hadn't expected; she didn't quite understand why the man in the black suit would care about this.

"What does this have to do with the investigation?"

Huang Quan didn't answer directly. Her first thought was whether her affair with Rumi Xuan had been discovered. But Huang Quan had always kept Rumi Xuan's affair a secret, so there shouldn't be a third party who knew.

"..."

The man in the black suit stared silently at Huang Quan, while Huang Quan's bright, scarlet eyes, which had previously concealed their sharpness, now revealed a chilling, sharp glint.

The atmosphere in the office suddenly became extremely heavy.

An unseen aura of danger filled the air as Huang Quan's languid crimson eyes gradually hardened and became serious! The two men in black suits, after enduring for over a minute, could no longer withstand it and lowered their heads to avoid Huang Quan's piercing gaze. The name "Sword Demon" was no exaggeration; once she became serious, she was like a gleaming blade slowly being drawn from its sheath. Few could withstand such a mentally slicing and wounding exertion!

"Thank you for your cooperation in the investigation. Huang Quan, Class III." The man in the black suit who was in charge of asking the questions stood up and bowed his head slightly.

Although there was nothing easy between him and [Sword Demon].

But the strong always deserve respect, and he respected Huang Quan's strength. Having completed his task of cooperating with the internal affairs team's investigation, Huang Quan, disturbed by this incident, toned down his overly arrogant and sharp aura and turned to leave the office.

"Are we just going to let her go like this?"

"if not?"

"That's true... Is this woman really human? I feel like she's even more terrifying than us." The man in the black suit, who was tidying up the notes, couldn't help but tremble violently when he recalled the chilling aura that swept over him when Huang Quan became serious.

[Sword Demon] Huang Quan's slaughter of life is so ruthless that no species can help but fear her.

"Whether she's human or not isn't important. What's important is how much she knows about the [Bronze Tree], and the fact that she may have had contact with Gongshan. Mustard Seed is very worried about her. If she gets out of control, Mustard Seed will find a way to get rid of her. Her strength is exaggerated compared to humans, but for us, heh..."

"I understand."

Two men in black suits from the Internal Affairs Department quietly tidied up as they left the office. A faint red light flickered in a crack in the ceiling, unnoticed by anyone, before quickly fading away.

The empty office was unusually quiet.

squeak……!

Suddenly, a white figure darted into the office with incredible speed, nimbly flipping over and reaching up to the ceiling. A delicate, boneless hand slipped through a crack, and with a flick of the wrist, she retrieved a small black box. Looking at the tiny device in her hand, a thoughtful glint flashed in Huang Quan's crimson eyes.

………………

"Third-class Yellow Springs! I've been looking for you for ages, where have you been?!"

In Ward 11, Furuta Nimura, panting heavily, spotted Yomi taking a leisurely stroll and immediately ran over. In this ravaged Ward 11 branch, figures like Furuta Ichigo, rushing about, were everywhere. He was holding his headset in one hand and nearly lost his footing, collapsing at Yomi's feet.

"Wait a minute, the investigation should be over by now."

"Ah, no, that's not it! It has nothing to do with the investigation. It's just a little personal matter of mine. As you know, I'm also a member of the Second Countermeasures Section. The Internal Affairs Group approached me this time, and I was forced into it. In the future, if Huang Quan San-san needs any help, I will do my best to help! I also hope that if Anpu Special Agent inquires about this matter, Huang Quan San-san can put in a good word for me. I would be extremely grateful!"

Furuta kept bowing and scraping, and his posture, far from being seen as contemptible by Yomi, instead evoked a profound sense of absurdity.

Can a person really distort themselves to this extent?

Beneath its gentle, harmless exterior, so humble it seems to be buried in the mud, lies a terrifying madness.

Chapter 109 A Few Things About Hideyoshi Nagachika

11th District Branch, Post-War Reconstruction Area Hall

"Thank you, Nagachika-kun."

"You are welcome!"

The blond, spiky-haired man waved his arms energetically, took the documents organized by the members of Countermeasures Section Two, and jogged back. Seeing Yongqin's enthusiastic work attitude, the investigators, whose faces still showed some post-war shadows, were also infected by him and showed happy smiles.

"It seems so. Lord Huang Quan brought it from District 20. It's not to be underestimated." An investigator said suddenly while drinking hot coffee and watching Yongjin's jogging figure.

This piqued the interest of everyone around.

Having just finished organizing a batch of documents, it was the perfect time to steal a moment to chat and joke around. Nowadays, unless it's a formal occasion, the investigators have started referring to Huang Quan directly as "Lord Huang Quan" in private, because it would be too strange to keep using a respectful title when referring to Huang Quan as a third-class official.

"Lord Yongchika, was he brought by Lord Yomi? What is their relationship?"

"Could it be that the two of them..."

"How could that be? Is your brain made of tofu?" The investigator who started the conversation tapped the door open in dissatisfaction. "Hey, listen to me! Your focus is so rude! If Lady Huang Quan hears this, you'll have to commit seppuku! Or are you simply not afraid of her sword?"

The moment the sword of the underworld was mentioned, the investigators, who had initially intended to discuss it further, immediately looked embarrassed.

Just kidding! Just kidding!

Who dares to speak ill of [Sword Demon] Huang Quan now? If anyone dares to gossip, Huang Quan won't even need to lift a finger. The investigators from CCG11 Division who survived the ambush will show them with their iron fists how an investigator's wrath can consume everything.

“Yongjin, he didn’t get his position through connections.” The conversation returned to normal.

Hideyoshi Nagachika, this college student from the 20th ward, has an information sensitivity that has impressed many of the investigators in the Countermeasures Division II! For example, the 20th ward's temporary plan to support the encirclement and annihilation of "Aogiri Tree" was a bold but surprisingly effective tactic. This was a suggestion made by Hideyoshi Nagachika based on the overall situation in the 11th ward at the time. Although it was just an idea, the result was surprisingly amazing.

It is said that Nagachika is also involved in the planning of the upcoming campaign to subdue the "Aogiri Tree." Currently, the Second Countermeasures Division is attempting to deduce the location of the "Aogiri Tree" in Area 11 based on the enemy's movements before and after the previous ambush.

There are many desolate and abandoned areas in District 11. With almost everything except headquarters paralyzed, finding the location of the "Aogiri Tree" as soon as possible will not be an easy task.

For this matter, Special Inspector Marute strictly ordered the Second Countermeasures Division to find the enemy's stronghold within a week!

"It's not easy..." Hideyoshi Nagachika held a thick stack of documents in his hands. Even though he had only closed his eyes for two hours from yesterday to today, there was still not enough time!

After the war, a deluge of information came flooding in like snowflakes during a blizzard in Tokyo!

Extracting information related to ghouls from this information is no easy task; it requires secondary, tertiary, or even quadruple screening to find anything connected to the Aogiri Tree. Nagakin felt his hair loss was becoming increasingly noticeable. Fortunately, he was always very sensitive to information, and given that it was Yomi-senpai's request, he naturally had to give it his all.

"Dudududu!"

The message on his phone forced Yongjin to stop.

With great effort, he moved the documents he was holding and took out his phone.

"Hello, this is Yongjin."

"Forever! Forever near...!"

Before Nagachika could finish answering, a familiar voice came from the other end of the phone. It was his best friend, Kaneki Ken! The voice was filled with barely concealed tension. Nagachika Hideyoshi heard panting, running, and what sounded like a child's screams—a mix of noises. He immediately realized something was wrong with Kaneki!

"Kaneki, tell me what's wrong?"

Hideyoshi Nagachika unconsciously tightened his grip on his phone, his surprise quickly suppressed by a strong sense of composure. Without realizing it, he subconsciously began to imitate the familiar person, trying to emulate her calm and collected demeanor.

"Damn it...! Waaah! Eijin, Yomi! Is Yomi-senpai by your side?!"

"No."

"It's too late... Yongqin, help me find a way to tell Yomi-senpai that Irimi-san was injured by Jason, and Aogiri Tree is now after me. I think I might not be able to escape... I want to fight like Yomi-senpai, with honor and dignity!... Also! Yongqin, Area 11 is a decoy, the beach... beep beep beep!"

"Kaneki!? Kaneki!" Before Hideyoshi Nagachika could ask for details, the other end of the phone went dead. No matter how many times he called back, his best friend Kaneki never answered.

Kaneki Ken's almost dying words left Hideyoshi Nagachika somewhat bewildered.

He instinctively lifted his foot, wanting to walk back to District 20 to see what had happened there. But Yongjin quickly regained his composure thanks to his exceptional composure. He understood that going back now would be pointless; he couldn't do anything about it. But staying in the CCG allowed him to do many things he couldn't.

"Irimi, [Jason], Area 11 is a cover, the beach..."

These things cannot be told to the Yellow Springs!

Yongjin made his decision in an instant. He couldn't explain the source of this information, much less tell Yomi about Kaneki. He already knew that his best friend had become a ghoul, and if Yomi found out, Yongjin wasn't confident he could persuade her not to strike Kaneki with her sword.

The most urgent task is to destroy the Bronze Tree!

"The seaside, the seaside, the seaside!"

He rushed to the temporary office in the underworld, only to find it empty, but Yongchika didn't seem to care. He tossed the documents onto the table, then grabbed a black pen and lunged at the map. His eyes trembled violently; Kaneki's description of the seaside felt like a bolt of lightning had struck Yongchika's mind!

The coastline of Area 11 is quite extensive.

However, considering the availability of abandoned buildings as a hideout location and the distance...

Hideyoshi Nagachika quickly circled five points on the map of Area 11, connecting them with a single line to form a large circle. Then he plunged into the pile of data he was responsible for organizing. Considering the sequence of attacks launched by Aogiri Tree in Area 11, and the stamina of the ghouls, a rapid investigation was possible.

Hurry! Hurry!

The sooner we find the Aogiri Tree's stronghold in Area 11, the safer Kaneki will be. As an inside man for the CCG, he can definitely find a safe path for Kaneki amidst the chaos of the campaign.

and so……

Kaneki, that idiot who once studied under a true master! Don't die, no matter what!
