Just when he was feeling troubled, a familiar-looking white-haired hunchbacked figure, who was fighting with a ghoul, came into his sight.

At the same time, a voice came from the communicator again...but he couldn't care less at this moment.

"Damn, why are there so many investigators?"

Seeing that the situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable to him, the ghoul turned around and tried to escape, but was seized by Mado Wuxu and beheaded with a single blow.

He took two deep breaths and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Sure enough, my body still hasn't recovered. I'm sorry Shinohara..."

"Everyone prepare to fight!"

Following the order, several investigators following him immediately surrounded him with murderous intent.

His partner, the famous crazy guy Suzuya Juuzou, looked at him excitedly: "Oh oh~ Are you going to cut him into pieces?"

"?"

Looking at Shinohara Yukinori, whose eyes were obviously not right, and the solemn atmosphere around him, a question mark slowly appeared on Mado Wuxu's forehead.

To be honest, although I know I came here secretly and disobeyed orders, it is normal for you to be dissatisfied.

But we have been comrades for many years after all. Isn't it a bit too much for you to act like you want to hack me to death as soon as we meet?

.....

"Um, I'm so sorry, Mado, I thought you were someone else pretending to be you, so..."

Scratching his head in embarrassment, Yukinori Shinohara apologized to Mado Wuo who was standing beside him.

Fortunately, I found something wrong. The main problem was that my ability to withstand blows and my physical strength were not good enough. I could not compare with Lin Qiao who could jump down from the fifth floor.

They asked a few more questions that only they knew the answers to, and in the end, nothing serious happened.

There was some helplessness in Mado Wuxu's words: "Forget it, it's my problem anyway."

He rubbed his aching waist. Because Suzuya Juuzo kicked him from behind, he walked a little unnaturally at the moment.

He disobeyed orders and came to the front line...In a sense, he asked for it.

"But having said that, I'm still a little confused. Why do you mistake me for someone else? And you look so hostile? You shouldn't be face-blind."

"Well... the reason is a little complicated. Anyway, I'll explain it to you later."

He laughed dryly twice, and then his face turned serious.

It didn't take long for the group to reach the location mentioned in the communicator.

The surroundings were littered with dead ghouls, and it seemed that they were planning to gather together and defend... but unfortunately, this only gave CCG a chance to catch them all in one fell swoop.

In fact, they were not the only ones who came, but also Xiang Jie of Fa Si and several other special people came here together.

"Is he the ghoul that was captured alive?"

Yukinori Shinohara looked at the ghoul kneeling on the ground in the middle of the venue, then looked at the other investigator, who nodded silently.

To be honest, Ishigami Sosuke almost hated Lin Qiao at this moment. He shouldn't have listened to the other party's weird advice from the beginning.

What do you mean by concentrating all our forces on defense? Do you really think the CCG's naval guns parked on the sea are just for show?

More importantly, after struggling to hold on until now, he realized that the other party had no intention of rescuing him at all.

I called him several times, and was greeted with words like "almost there", "coming soon", "on the way"...

Bah! Ishimori Qiao, you bastard liar!

If I had known this would happen, I would have taken a gamble. It would have been better to just jump into the sea and swim back than to be captured alive.

Looking at the investigators sharpening their knives around him, and seeing his companions who had betrayed the Bronze Tree with him turned into corpses, a bitter feeling welled up in his heart.

However, before he could savor the feeling, Yukinori Shinohara appeared in front of him.

"Where are Xiao and Ishimori Qiao? Did they escape?"

".....They are at the Bronze Tree headquarters."

"That's why I'm asking you, where are they now?"

".....At the Bronze Tree headquarters."

Looking down at the disheartened Ishigami Sosuke, Shinohara Yukinori frowned and asked, "Isn't Ryushima the headquarters of the Bronze Tree?"

“It used to be, but then they moved away and this place was handed over to us.”

"Aren't you bronze trees?"

"No, no, we are the Hanged Man, and we just left the Bronze Tree not long ago..."

Listening to Ishigami Sosuke's hoarse voice recounting their experience of escaping from the Bronze Tree.

At this moment, everyone present instantly understood why they were able to take over Liudao so easily.

These guys are just abandoned sons, just scapegoats chosen by the Bronze Tree.

But precisely because they understood this, they had more doubts.

Not to mention Amazon who ran away long ago, there are already more than two hundred ghouls alone.

Giving up so much combat power at one time...what on earth does Bronze Tree, no, should I say, Ishimori Takumi want to do?

Shinohara Yukinori frowned, and suddenly had a bad feeling. He continued to ask: "If that's the case, then where is the headquarters of the Bronze Tree?"

“…”

He hesitated in response to Shinohara Yukinori's question.

But when he thought that he and others were just abandoned pawns of the Bronze Tree, resentment gradually emerged in his eyes.

If you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust!

"exist....."

Ishigami Sosuke opened his mouth and was about to tell the location of the Bronze Tree headquarters.

But before he could finish his words, his body curled up in pain, and his blood vessels turned an ominous black in the blink of an eye and spread all over his body.

Chapter 147 We should be on the same side!

"This, this is!?"

Only then did the people present notice that a black tentacle had approached them at some point.

The poison needle at the top pierced the skin and injected some kind of venom into Ishigami Sosuke's body.

Without any hesitation, Yukinori Shinohara drew his sword and chopped.

And the black tentacle showed no intention of retreating, and it swung towards him with a sound of breaking through the air.

clang!

A crisp striking sound was heard the moment the two intersected.

Yukinori Shinohara took three or four steps back, feeling the numbness in his palm, and took a breath of cool air.

It clearly looked like a soft whip, but both its strength and the force attached to it made him feel as if he was chopping at steel.

What is that? A snake? Tentacles?

Before they could figure it out, a strange voice that sounded like a mixture of more than a dozen voices rang out beside them:

"What a pity! It's rare that you caught a guy who has some intelligence value, but now the clue is broken again~"

The scarlet figure leaned against the wall behind him, with a certain amusement in his tone.

"But if he really tells others, I'll be very troubled... and I really hate traitors."

As the tentacles were slowly retracted, Ishigami Sosuke on the ground uttered a painful sound, and the next second, he decomposed into purple light particles in front of everyone.

“Disappeared…?”

A trace of shock flashed in Anura Kiyoko's eyes, and she murmured to herself.

If the person was directly poisoned to death, or even had his body dissolved into concentrated water, that would still be acceptable.

After all, up to now, we have seen Amazon with the ability to spit strong acid.

But this kind of attack method that turns the entire person into light is completely unheard of and even chilling.

This scene that went beyond common sense made the investigators on the scene even more vigilant towards him.

"Red-Super-Man!"

Mado Wuxu spoke word by word from between his teeth, looking at the figure in front of him with red eyes, holding the Quinque with white knuckles.

Lin Qiao shook her head helplessly: "Although it is true to say so, can you please not say that person's name with such a bitter and resentful look on your face?"

"It's just like Mado Akira's weird theory that we can save time by not using honorifics... I always feel a little bit uncomfortable."

"Wait a minute, Mado!"

The quick-eyed and quick-handed Shinohara Yukinori grabbed him and wanted to go forward to fight Lin Qiao to the death.

Then he took a vigilant look at the figure stretching, and at the same time stopped others from wanting to take action.

Including him, there were a total of four special class members present, but from a strength perspective, the situation was overwhelmingly unfavorable to them.

According to the original plan, the hunting team composed of Sigma-type Amazons and the subjugation team composed of special-class Amazons should deal with each of them.

However, the target now appeared, but it hit him directly in the face.

"By the way, if you want to wait for those Amazons, forget it."

"While you were focusing all your attention on these idiots, I had already dealt with the embarrassing things."

Not caring at all about the fact that she was surrounded, Lin Qiao spoke calmly and unhurriedly.

It was also thanks to the fact that the Xiu family wanted to keep it a secret from the investigators below and gathered all these Amazons together.

He just delivered a fatal kick and killed them all, and with the sound of artillery shells as cover, he didn't have to worry about anyone noticing.

But such a trivial matter to Lin Qiao was extremely bad news to the investigators present.

"Tsk, have all the Sigma troops been wiped out?"

Kiyoko Anura bit her lower lip. Although it was not the first time she met Lin Qiao, compared with what she saw during the last ambush, the feeling brought by Lin Qiao after the transformation was completely different.

There was no need to call for reinforcements.

From a personal point of view, she opposed the plan of desecrating the dead from the beginning to the end, but it was undeniable that the soldiers produced by that plan were really strong.

Even as a special class, it is difficult to face one of them alone.

Now that the Sigma troops, which were regarded as the trump card, had been completely defeated, if even they were helpless, then no matter how many others came, it would only increase casualties.

".....Why are you here?"

"After all, he was my former subordinate. It's normal for him to come back and take a look after receiving a call for help, right?" Lin Qiao waved his hand in an exaggerated tone after looking around at the investigators.

"Besides, haven't you been looking for me? And now that we finally meet, you act like you're keeping me at a distance. It's really hurtful."

However, despite his words, the people around him did not let down their guard.

She didn't intend to believe a single word he said. After all, if he really cared about his subordinates, he wouldn't have used such a cruel method from the beginning.

Shinohara Yukinori frowned and asked, "What are you and Xiao planning?"

"Plot? That's a really bad way to put it..."

In the shocked eyes of others, he pinched his chin and said: "Well, it's just a collaboration with V, intending to make He Xiu die with a household registration book."

"!"

"!"

"!"

The understated reply was as ordinary and casual as asking an acquaintance if he had eaten in the morning.

But no one would regard this as the other party's nonsense.

——While wanting to refute the other party for overestimating his own capabilities, I felt a chill on my back.

It is known that the ghouls here are all abandoned pawns that attract attention.
