The Villain Knight Doesn't Want to Be a Hero

At the same time, inside the CCG building.

In a huge conference room that was as large as a lecture hall, many ghoul investigators sat together in groups of three or four.

The investigators, who knew each other, greeted each other and took their seats.

Although the seats in the conference room were not yet full and people were walking in from the door, there were already more than a hundred investigators present.

The person in charge of presiding over this meeting is Marutesai, one of the seven special investigators of CCG, who is famous for his brainpower.

After another ten minutes, all the investigators who were supposed to arrive had arrived.

"——It seems that everyone has arrived, so this meeting will officially begin."

As Marutesai finished his words, the noisy environment suddenly became silent.

Chapter 12 CCG Countermeasures Meeting

"....The above is what happened in this case."

Although the atmosphere in the meeting room was solemn, it was obvious that some people were not in good spirits. Their serious expressions could not hide the faint dark circles under their eyes, and they would yawn from time to time.

Many of the people sitting here had just finished working all night to deal with the matters at hand. They did not even have time to rest and rushed to the meeting in a hurry.

Going to work is painful, and staying up late to work overtime is even more painful.

——Having said that, the meeting still needs to be held, especially since this meeting is quite important.

Just the fact that the special officer personally presided over this was enough to tell you that it was not going to be a small matter.

"Although all the relevant personnel have been controlled at the first time, it is regrettable that the top leaders including the leader Yamashita Makuo and the ghoul organization behind them have not been arrested yet."

In other words, the work progress has not advanced at all.

If the source is not eliminated, no matter how hard they try, or how many small shrimps they deal with, they will pop up like mushrooms after a while, and it will be of no avail.

This is also a headache for most investigators, because they can't find anyone!

"According to the joint investigation of our CCG and the police, more than 100 victims have been confirmed in the past six months. However, due to smuggling and other means, there may be more victims who cannot be confirmed in a short period of time."

What’s even more terrible is that this was only done by the Yamashita Group!

No one can be sure that the Yamashita Group is the other party's only source of goods, and if the scope is expanded to the whole of Tokyo, there will be countless unscrupulous scum doing the same business.

The young investigator shuddered, and just thinking about it brought to his mind an image of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood!

"With that number of victims, it would be troublesome just to deal with the remaining bodies. Is there such an organization in District 20 that can do this?"

"Well, there are still some, such as the demon ape, the black Doberman... Before it was called the 'stable area', there were quite a few troublesome guys in Area 20."

"But that's all in the past, right? They've been missing for so long, who knows if they're still alive or dead? And given their condition and behavior, it's impossible for them to come up with that much money."

This is true.

There are many ghoul groups that fight each other fiercely, but when it comes to those that rely on billions of people and are good at making money, there are only a handful of them.

At least for now, in the CCG archives, I can’t find one that fully meets the goal.

Maru Shousai looked at his subordinates who were muttering to themselves below and coughed lightly.

"According to the existing intelligence, the victims were sent to a ghoul restaurant that we have not yet discovered, and this is also our main target for investigation in the future!"

Hearing this, many investigators became solemn, especially the old ones who had been members for a long time.

Although it is called a restaurant, to humans it is no different from a slaughterhouse.

In this way, all kinds of questions have been answered, why the other party needs so many humans as food, why no one discovered it for so long, and where the funds come from...

But there was obviously more than one thing that surprised them.

"In addition to the ghoul restaurant that has yet to be identified, we also unexpectedly got some clues about the "new species" in this incident."

Having said this, Marutesai's expression became more serious than ever before.

New species...

Most people were stunned for a moment when they heard this word, but after thinking about it for a moment or being reminded by others and realizing what Marutesai was talking about, their expressions quickly became solemn.

"I think everyone should have come into contact with this kind of monster before. According to the level classification, their threat level is generally not lower than that of S+ level ghouls. This is why they have caused huge losses to the CCG during this period of time."

On the big screen behind Marute Sai, several pictures of different types of monsters appeared. They were based on different creatures in nature.

Birds, fish, insects...

The only thing they have in common is that there are bloodstains around them.

"Due to security concerns, information regarding these creatures remains under lockdown."

"If the existence of these alien creatures becomes widely known, I'm afraid that a considerable number of bad guys will try to take advantage of them. By then, those dangerous people will become even more lawless."

The existence of ghouls is enough to make people panic, but the ghoul problem is not solved, and suddenly a new monster appears, saying that it also wants to eat people...

Do you think CCG’s complaint hotline will be flooded with calls?

Besides, it would be fine if you had a great record and were able to defeat everyone, but the point is that during this period of time, CCG suffered a lot of setbacks at the hands of these ghosts.

"——Amazon!"

"This is the name of those monsters. Headquarters has officially confirmed it as the code name of those monsters."

"Although it has only been a short time since its appearance, its various characteristics have already shown that this is a new enemy that is different from the ghouls. We can no longer use our past experience to deal with them."

This is a lesson learned in blood.

Although they both have the habit of cannibalism, the difference between ghouls and Amazons is extremely large, which is also the fundamental reason why CCG suffers manpower losses.

Not understanding the opponent is one thing, but more importantly, compared to the soft ghouls, Amazon is just too tough!

Quinque.

As the main weapon of the Ghoul Investigator, it was designed from the beginning to defeat ghouls... In other words, this thing is not meant to deal with the monsters in the masked tent next door!

Let me describe the difference between the two in gaming terms.

Before ghouls evolve into kagune, unless they possess a Kagune-type kagune, most of them are assassins with high attack and agility but low defense.

Amazon has high offense and defense, but its agility is relatively low compared to that of an average warrior. Depending on the type, it can also be transferred to other professions such as meat tank and ranger.

Perhaps in terms of destructive power and range of destruction, ghouls may be superior, but in terms of defensive power, perhaps only some ghouls with Kaikaku can match them.

Although most of the investigators are not so bad that they can't even break through the defense, it won't be a big problem if they can only cause minor damage.

On the other hand, if the other side gets bitten, I'm afraid I'll die on the spot...Oh, it's still the same as before, so it's okay.

The investigators were just about to throw their keyboards and shout "The gaming experience is extremely poor."

Marutesai stood up from his seat and pointed to the big screen behind him.

It was a portrait made up of black and white, similar to a sketch.

"This is a portrait we drew based on the descriptions of the survivors of this incident—"

Then, a blurry color photo of only half a body appeared on the screen.

"This photo was taken by a surveillance camera in a residential area in District 20 half a month ago."

"After comparison, it is basically confirmed that the two are the same individual."

Several surveillance photos taken from different angles were retrieved one after another, but most of them only captured part of the body, and the completeness was not even as good as the one that Marutesai released at the beginning.

The investigators were secretly shocked and labeled the other party as difficult to deal with in their minds.

Being able to avoid it once or twice can be said to be a matter of probability, but with so many cameras not even capturing his face, then the word luck cannot be used to describe it.

It can be seen that although there are some differences in the details of the pictures, the main content is highly consistent.

——A spider monster with a completely red body.

"So, this guy is the real reason why we were called here?"

A somewhat disrespectful voice was heard in the meeting.

But no one will care about this.

"Yes, he obviously has some unknown information. Even the name "Amazon" came from him. Therefore, I personally think that this red guy has a very high intelligence value."

"At present, our understanding of Amazon is still blank. The information he has may fill in our current situation and even find out the real reason why these monsters came from."

Without paying attention to the other party's tone, Marutesai expressed his own opinion.

"Another point to note is that although the other party's behavior pattern is completely different from other Amazons so far, and it has not shown obvious cannibalistic tendencies and has even saved people, this is not a reason to let down our guard."

"Once everyone encounters the target, they must report to the headquarters immediately. No one is allowed to act alone!"

The other investigators remained silent. They had no dissatisfaction with the decision and even felt it was natural.

Being able to kill two Amazon S-class ghouls in just a few minutes meant that the other party must be above S-class.

SS grade...

This is a monster that requires special forces to deal with.

When facing such an existence, no matter whether the other party has malicious intentions or not, we must be extremely cautious.

"Ghouls and Amazons are now facing a severe situation that CCG has never faced since its establishment. However, this is not a reason for us to retreat! I hope that everyone can work together to protect humanity!"

With Marutesai raising his arm and calling for help, the meeting quickly came to an end.

Chapter 13 Thinking too much is the privilege of youth

I have to say, this is much better than the police who always arrive at the scene after the fact, or sometimes don't even show up.

CCG's efficiency is obviously very high.

After the meeting, orders were issued one after another.

Except for a few investigators who could not bear it any longer and felt that they would have to meet the first director, the entire CCG entered a busy state.

Directly proportional to the efficiency is the rapid consumption of instant coffee inside.

It is not easy to break into the ghoul restaurant. Where is the lair, who are the people involved, and what is their identity in human society...

Before truly launching an attack, long-term preparation like this is essential.

Compared to a ghoul group in the conventional sense, a ghoul restaurant is more like a high-end nightclub open only to VIPs.

Most of the members don't have any close connections with each other. They are just a bunch of trash gathered together with the same bad interests.

Due to the loose organizational structure within the organization, after the CCG invaded, the ghouls inside could hardly organize any effective counterattack, but instead fled in all directions.

This provides certain conveniences for investigators, but it also increases the difficulty of catching all the garbage in one fell swoop.

It is easy to break through, but difficult to wipe out.

Moreover, some of these guys have a considerable status even in human society.

After escaping, they will use the resources and connections at their disposal to cause trouble for the CCG and hinder subsequent investigations.

The financial backers behind the ghoul protection organization are none other than these people.

But it is too early to consider these things now.

Compared to things that may only happen in the future, it is more important to face them now.

"When will this kind of work end......?"

As one of the investigators who was recently transferred to the 20th District Branch due to the Amazon issue, Takizawa Masamichi felt a headache when he thought of the piles of documents on his desk.

He has no dissatisfaction with the life of punching in and out of work. Rather, he enjoys it.

Especially being able to be with the seniors in the academy whom I have always admired is a wonderful thing no matter how you look at it.

But right now, whether it is the newly emerged monster Amazon or the rapidly growing ghoul group Bronze Tree in Area 11, they all give people a feeling that a storm is about to come.

"Even the usually peaceful District 20 has had such a thing happen. I don't know what will happen in the future..."

He was standing in front of the water dispenser and complaining quietly, when at that moment, a hand patted him on the shoulder from behind.
