Infinity, progress from Arasaka

Vera clapped her hands and pointed at the sick old man who was put into the ambulance by Mado Akira, "Do you know why Mado-sama wants to kill all of you ghouls?"

Fueguchi Ryoko looked bewildered.

"He was originally a very righteous, kind, family-oriented, and even henpecked investigator, that's what I heard. He had a loving wife and a happy family, but... One-Eyed Owl, the SSS-class ghoul, killed Mado Utsuro, his wife, leaving behind only a gnawed corpse. Then, Mado went crazy."

Vera spoke lightly, but Fueguchi Ryoko became even more silent.

"Yes...I'm sorry..."

She is truly a typical Yamato Nadeshiko-like woman.

Vera shook her head calmly and said, "Your apology is meaningless."

"I'd rather tell you my plan for you. I need you to execute the One-Eyed Owl in front of the global media one day in the future. Isn't it known as the One-Eyed King, the king of ghouls? You, kill it with your own hands."

This was not news that needed to be hidden, and Vera said it directly in front of many CCG colleagues.

"Me?" Fueguchi Ryoko widened her eyes.

Let her kill the One-Eyed Owl? !

"After that, I will push for the proposal to legalize ghouls to be put on the Chiyoda Diet (where the Japanese Diet is located)."

See the picture poorly.

This is another purpose of Vera's visit to Tokyo CCG, to invite fame.

To be honest, her experience as a ghoul killer was not enough to satisfy her.

It's not like playing a game to defeat the boss for experience points. To Vera, there is no difference between killing by hand and killing indirectly.

What we want is big news.

As an elite agent sent to Japan by the North American CCG, he not only saved the situation from collapse, but also solved the problem of rampant ghouls in Tokyo. He also showed considerable humanitarianism by finding a few innocent individuals in the ghoul community and giving them 'legal' identities...

Are these enough to attract the attention of North American voters?

The achievements in Tokyo have proven her ability, she has a good resume, and she has a good reputation that voters will remember. In this way, when Vera finishes her duties at CCG in Tokyo and returns to the USA, she will be seen by higher-ups and qualified to be courted by various campaign teams. At that time, she will have a bright future.

After all, she is not 'Homelander', nor 'Superman', but perhaps a stronger 'Captain America' level.

The rules that should be followed must still be followed.

In 2014, various magical political groups and civil rights organizations gradually came to the fore.

Vera had no doubt that in a few years, there would be demonstrations such as "Ghouls' Lives Matter" in North America.

Ghoul and Quinque-related technologies are what I want; promotion and salary increase are also what I want.

"Be prepared. As the first example, your behavior will directly determine my perception of whether ghouls are saveable or hopeless."

Vera did not answer directly how she would let Fueguchi Ryoko kill the One-Eyed Owl.

After she finished speaking, she snapped her fingers, signaling the investigators waiting nearby to take Dikou and her daughter away.

After thinking for a while, she looked at the 191cm tall, strong young man named Kotaro Amon who was being woken up from a stretcher by medical staff not far away. He had no obvious external injuries.

And the two investigators surrounding him, one is a bespectacled guy named Kusaba, and the other is a decadent middle-aged man named Yasutomo Nakajima.

"Amen first class."

"To!"

Hearing someone calling, Yamon Kotaro, who was communicating with his companions to understand the situation, stood up and looked in the direction of the voice. After seeing Vera in black armor, he asked uncertainly, "Special Officer Russell?"

Without saying much, Vera pointed her finger at the backs of Dikou and her daughter.

"As an investigator who was saved from injury by the kindness of a ghoul, perhaps it was fate. The three of you, go and help guard Fueguchi mother and daughter."

"what?"

Yamon Kotaro was stunned. Before he could sort out his thoughts, Vera's new instructions came slowly, "Observe Fueguchi Ryoko's daily behavior, make a complete assessment of her personality, and then report to me. If there is any abnormal behavior, you can kill her if necessary."

"Yes!"

Nakajima Yasutomo and Kusaba received the order, grabbed Amon Kotaro and chased in the direction of the escorted Fueguchi mother and daughter.

An arrangement that goes with the flow.

Pulling her wandering thoughts back to reality, Vera retracted her gaze. Just as she calmed down and prepared to tap the harvest, tap, tap, tap...

There was the sound of hurried footsteps, it was Mado Akira.

"What's the matter?"

"Captain Russell..." Her voice became a little breathless due to excitement and running, "Based on the activities of the mother and daughter of Fukou, I speculate that in addition to the organization where Jason 'Gecko' belongs to, there should be a similar ghoul organization in Area 20. And it is more united."

"I know."

"Quasi-Special Officer Russell, do you need to apply to Special Officer Marute for more..." As he spoke, Mado Akira was slightly startled, blinked, and frowned, "Huh? This..."

As if she was just guessing, Vera smiled and said casually, "It's obvious."

"Compared to other areas, the probability of predation incidents in Area 20 is quite low. The Great Eater and the Gourmet suddenly disappeared during the peak period of predation, which does not fit their behavioral characteristics."

"The ghoul organization in District 20 might have been the one that expelled or even cleaned up the 'big ghouls'. It was to prevent the CCG from searching for them... Let's assume that Fueguchi Ryoko is a ghoul who has no prey ability and is unwilling to hurt or kill people. Why did she go to District 20 after her husband was killed?"

"There must be a very united ghoul organization that is internally opposed to 'co-ghouling' and accepted her, and steadily provided her with the 'food' she needs for basic survival."

"..."

After a moment of silence, Mado Akira whispered, "From what you said, it seems that you have no intention of searching for them."

"if not."

Vera shrugged, smiled faintly, turned around and gently pressed the young adjutant's shoulder.

"I have only been in Tokyo for more than three months. Most of the time, I have been working with Professor A and B of the Earth to make Quinques. Many things have not been sorted out yet. I don't think the people in Area 1 are unaware of the situation in Area 20. The reason they don't care may be a tacit understanding."

"It will be difficult first, but it will be easy later. If they want to hide, then let them hide. We have to admit that they have objectively contributed to the stability of District 20."

Mado Akira naturally understood the inter-ghoul behavior that Vera was referring to.

Ghoul.

Many ghouls would use their own strength to designate their own ghoul grounds; if other ghouls entered their territory without permission to hunt, there would be disputes and fights. Area 20 was a 'ghoul ground' managed by a ghoul organization in the shadow side that humans could not reach.

"There is no need for us to take risks for now. Completely eradicating the bronze tree is our top priority right now."

Vera raised the corners of her mouth and her eyes sparkled with joy.

She could feel that it was very far away and she must be observing through a telescope. The vague feeling of being peeped disappeared.

In the end, I didn't dare to take action.

Very good, you have passed for now.

"The rain has stopped."

...

Meanwhile, the Antique Cafe.

Bang!

The sound of a door being pushed open heavily.

"Welcome back Touka, Kaneki... Sifang...you guys, it seems the situation is worse than I thought?" an old male voice.

"Yes, Manager. That female pigeon used a special new type of living Quinque armor, using Kirishima's new kagune. She killed Jason and Naki from District 13, the Ping brothers from District 11, Nick from the 'Joker' organization, and..." Heavy pause, "Xiandu."

"..."

silence.

"Ugh."

After a long time, an old man sighed.

"Taking action against the white pigeon means being prepared to take full responsibility. This was the way of survival Xuandu chose when he left Gudong. From hunting the white pigeon to being killed by the white pigeon, these were the paths he chose."

"Touka. Please accept my condolences. We...can't do anything...including you. You are the only heir of Shin..."

...

a week later.

boom!

Area 1, CCG Countermeasures Headquarters, Quinque Production Workshop.

Vera threw a failed S-class fusion kukuri onto the "Neo-Proto" black armor unfolded on the workbench. With a snap, the armor moved at the smell of blood, and the dark red veins on the surface of the armor squirmed. The kukuri was swallowed and absorbed by the living Quinque like melting ice cream.

"You said that the writer Izumi Takatsuki is going to postpone the interview time with me?" Vera raised her head from the Quinque production table, raised her eyebrows, and looked at Mado Akira who was holding a folder at the door.

"Yes...Ms. Takatsuki Izumi said that something happened at her friend's home."

Haha, it must be a friend or a subordinate who died.

Vera's fingers tapped the workbench in regular waves.

The one-eyed king has shrunk.

There is also Area 11. After completing the ghoul elimination mission in Area 20, she went to the branch in Area 11 and stayed there for five days. As a result, she didn't see many ghouls, let alone an attack on the CCG branch.

Are you playing hide and seek with her?

PS: As the timeline of Tokyo Ghoul is not revealed in the original work, this article starts from the time when the first season of the anime was broadcast, which is 2014.

In the next chapter, the first part of the ghoul story ends.

Chapter 084 I will bring Quinque technology to Arasaka (4.8K)

Another two weeks have passed, and the street fight between the investigators and the ghouls in District 20 half a month ago has become a thing of the past. As post-war reconstruction and disaster relief are back on track, yesterday's hot spots have been drowned out by today's trivialities.

After all, Tokyo is an area where ghoul attacks are rare in the world.

When similar public events happen multiple times in a short period of time, people tend to forget them, except for those who have experienced them firsthand and those who have felt the same way...

"Jason - Black Abyss IV."

Click. In the CCG Quinque Production Workshop, Vera raised her hand and lifted the black and red spear high, weighing it - long handle, blades at both ends, and the tip of the spear in a cross spiral shape.

Wave a few beautiful gun flowers in your hands,

It's very smooth and fits her body shape, arm length and combat habits perfectly.

It is good to master key technologies.

Immediately, Vera took a step forward, the soles of her indoor slippers made a dull sound on the workshop deck, twisted her waist, and threw "Black Abyss IV" out.

Clang!

Amid the sharp sound of breaking through the air, there was a clang! The sound of metal friction that made one's teeth ache, and more than 20 meters away, sparks flew from the pieces of Quinque steel targets that were specially used to test hardness. The heavy steel targets burst with a sound, and a long string of dark metal debris flew up.

Vera stopped and looked away carefully.

The entire 2MM×2MM Quinque steel target was pierced by the black and red spear, and then inserted into the second steel target. The gun body penetrated one-third of the way, and a hole as big as a basin was blasted open at the entrance.

"not bad."

Vera estimated that compared with the "Black Abyss III" before the improvement, under the same conditions, No. 3 could only penetrate two-thirds of the first steel target.

"Ahhhh! My Quinque Gun!"

As soon as he stepped into the CCG's personal workshop assigned to Vera, Dr. Jiayi of the Earth Department covered his head and made a sharp explosion.

"Vera Adelheid, Lieutenant-General!"

Rubbing his dark green mushroom head, Dr. Dixing Jiayi looked at the shattered Quinque steel target on the ground with great distress.

"Black Abyss IV is already an SS+ grade hybrid Quinque. My laboratory does not have the steel targets and forged steel ingots that can be used to test its extreme performance!"

These steel targets are used for testing mass-produced Quinques of grade B and A, and are sufficient for long periods of time. The incidental damage during S-grade Quinque testing is barely acceptable, but it is wrong for you to test the new hybrid Quinque of grade SS+.

CCG is very wealthy, but the landlords can't afford to be built like this.
