"asshole!"

In Tokyo District 1, in the CCG headquarters building, Marute Sai, a special investigator, was furious.

Just recently, he received reports that many investigators under CCG had been attacked.

As an organization that fights against ghouls, it is normal for CCG to be retaliated by ghouls, but the number of investigators who were attacked yesterday was too many.

Although most investigators successfully repelled the enemy, more than a dozen ordinary investigators were still killed.

Except that a ghoul organization called Bronze Tree has been very active in Area 11 recently and attacked the CCG branch in Area 11.

This is the biggest setback CCG has suffered in recent times.

"It's a troubled time!" Marutesai scratched his hair in annoyance.

Then he suddenly thought of the group of investigators who were going to report here today.

Not counting the large number of ordinary investigators trained through ghoul countermeasures education.

The combination of a senior investigator and a third-class investigator is considered the lowest-level investigator configuration in CCG.

The ranks of investigators are, from highest to lowest, six levels: "Special-class investigator", "Quasi-special-class investigator", "Senior-class investigator", "First-class investigator", "Second-class investigator" and "Third-class investigator".

The first three grades belong to "high-level investigators" and the last three grades belong to "low-level investigators".

The basic configuration of ghoul investigators is a team of two, that is, a "high-level investigator" and a "low-level investigator" to carry out tasks.

This group of investigators returned from studying abroad.

As for which of Tokyo's twenty-three districts they would be assigned to, Marutesai had not originally decided.

But after the attack last night, he decided to assign this group of people to the twenty districts that suffered the most damage in the attack.

The group of investigators he was referring to who were going to report were naturally the combination of Dongfang Shangcan and Leah.

After hunting all night last night, Dongfang Shangcan and his 'helpers' captured a total of 36 ghouls and locked them up in a different space.

After dawn, he reported to CCG headquarters with Li Yi, who was dressed as an investigator.

Yes, it’s Li Yi, not Lia.

As a replica of Alice No. 1 who looks exactly like Leah, she naturally became Leah's substitute when Leah was obsessed with dismantling ghouls for research. She works with Dongfang Shangcan in the derivative world.

Injected with the T virus, she possesses LV3 telekinesis, super agility, super strength, rapid self-healing ability and other physical abilities, making her a qualified combatant.

After arriving at CCG headquarters, the two spent half a day filling out forms, taking photos, and filing.

Officially serving as Senior and Third Class Investigators of the CCG.

When Admiral Dongfang Shang put the pigeon-shaped badge awarded by CCG on his chest, a reminder of the paradise popped up.

[Player 'Yuebai' successfully joined CCG, and the faction contribution value is enabled. ]

Current Position: Third-Class Investigator

【CCG Contribution Value: 0】

[Details: Expelling (killing or capturing) ghouls or killing players earns Contribution Points, which can be used to purchase items within the CCG or craft Quinques. Accumulating Contribution Points to a certain level will increase your Investigator rank.]

[Tip: Ghouls expelled by players must be certified by CCG before they can receive contribution points. Ghouls that disappear without reason cannot be counted as contribution points.]

"So-called Faction Mall? 36 ghouls should be enough for Leah's research for now. I'll earn some contribution points first and see if there's anything good to sell in the Faction Mall. I'll also upgrade my current Investigator rank while I'm at it; the title still has some bonus effects."

With this idea in mind, Dongfang Shangcan first took down the "Sisters' Donburi" and replaced it with a new title.

Anyway, it seems that in the ghoul world, only Ankuhuna and Ankuhunashiro are twins.

It’s not too late to change it when you meet them.

[Title 'Third-Class Investigator']

[Effect 1: The title holder will be more likely to gain the favor of CCG characters.]

[Effect 5: When fighting against characters and players from the ghoul camp, all attributes are increased by %]

"Senior Investigator Liya, Third-Class Investigator Yuebai, the higher-ups have assigned you to Area 20, which is currently short on combat power."

The female employee who said this looked at Dongfang Shangcan reluctantly, because he was not assigned to Area 1 and could not work with her.

"learn."

After taking his and Lia's appointment documents and maps, Dongfang Shangcan waved his hand and took Lia out of the CCG headquarters building.

He also wanted to go to District 1 rather than District 20, the CCG's headquarters.

He wanted to find out how far the plot had developed.

Behind him, the female employee looked at Li Yi, who was following behind Dongfang Shangcan like a subordinate, with a surprised expression, and murmured softly:

"Isn't that handsome young man a third-class search officer? Why does he look more like a leader than a senior search officer?"

......

On the other side, in Zone 20.

As a senior investigator, Mado Wuxiong and his partner Amon Kotaro are preparing to launch an operation to capture ghouls.

A while ago, they encountered the S-rank ghoul Jason, who escaped but killed another ghoul, Fueguchi Asaki.

After a period of investigation, they found out that there was a high probability that Fueguchi Ryoko and Fueguchi Hinami were ghouls, and they prepared to expel them.

Just as the group was about to go out, heavy rain suddenly came down. The big raindrops hit the ground, creating dust and puddles.

"Rain really does come and go, which is annoying. It not only affects your vision but also interferes with your work. But today's rain might just be the right amount.

The rain will wash away the mud, the filth, and the screams of the ugly animals."

He picked up an umbrella and held it above his head, then stepped into the heavy rain with a strange smile.

Half an hour later, Mado Wuxiong led a group of investigators to surround Fueguchi Ryoko and Fueguchi Hinami.

Squinting one eye, a twisted arc appeared at the corner of his lips, and he said sinisterly, "Can I take up a little of your time, Ms. Fueguchi Ryoko?"

"I have something to ask you about this..."

Mado Wuxu held a mask stained with blood and dirt and shook it towards Dikou mother and daughter.

This mask belongs to Fueguchi Chaoshu, and was buried by Fueguchi Ryoko herself.

After seeing the mask, Fueguchi Ryoko knew she was exposed.

She bent down and hugged Fueguchi Hinami tightly, with a frightened expression.

Although she was extremely reluctant to leave her daughter, she herself was not a ghoul who was good at fighting.

But as a mother, she will protect her daughter even at the cost of her own life.

"...Hina, run away!!!"

Two pairs of oversized moth-wing-shaped knives extended from her back and faced the investigators surrounding the mother and daughter.

The hernia of Jiahe is located below the shoulder blade and is a metallic hernia.

Composed of densely packed Rc cells, they possess extremely high defensive capabilities, but this also results in a relatively heavy weight. Compared to other ghouls, the Kaihei ghoul's speed and agility are a major drawback.

But it was precisely because Fueguchi Ryoko's kagune was a first-class kagune that she, who was not good at fighting, was able to stop the first-class investigator Amon Kotaro and the other two investigators, preventing them from chasing the fleeing Fueguchi Ryoko.

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

In the heavy rain, Fueguchi Hinami was running continuously.

She knew that she was just a burden and that staying where she was would only hold her mother back.

On the contrary, if she managed to escape, her mother wouldn't have to stay there to hold back the investigators and could run away quickly.

And if she could meet Antique's friends, she could go back and get help to save her mother.

She knew all this, but the guilt of leaving her mother behind and running away alone, and the fear that her mother might die, gnawed at her heart, and tears fell like beads from a broken string.

Just as her panic was growing, a black-haired young man wearing an eyepatch appeared in front of her.

"Mr. Kaneki!"

Hinami Fueguchi shouted the young man's name loudly.

He had just begun to relax, but when he saw two investigators holding umbrellas behind the young man, his mood immediately became tense again.

Chapter 104: My name is Shadow. I lurk in the shadows, hunting shadows...

"Actually, I quite like rainy days. It's very cool. Eating hot pot and singing songs in the room, watching the people outside the window hurrying around for their lives, it feels very comfortable. But when I'm alone outside..."

"Mr. Kaneki!"

Dongfang Shangcan was originally chatting with Li Yi.

But suddenly, I heard the girl's clear and rapid voice, and it was the name of Kaneki Ken, the protagonist of "Tokyo Ghoul".

This made him stop talking and look in the direction where the sound came from.

In the heavy rain, a pretty girl with short light hair was looking at him with fear.

To be precise, she looked at him with fear, as he wore a black windbreaker and a briefcase that represented an investigator.

"A flower-decorated headband, short, light-colored hair that barely reaches the shoulders. A blue miniskirt, yellow tights. Is this Fueguchi Hinami?! And this one is..."

Turning his gaze, Dongfang Shangcan looked at a young man about two meters in front of him.

The young man had a delicate face and a thin figure. He was wearing a light blue jacket and an eye patch on his left eye.

At first glance, it gives people a very fragile feeling.

"...Kaneki Ken."

Kaneki Ken was originally an ordinary college student.

After being involved in the "Rebar Falling Incident", he was transformed into a half-ghoul with half human blood by Kano. He is the second One-Eyed King created by Izumi Takatsuki and Takamasa Arima.

Among all the anime that Dongfang Shangcan has watched, he is one of the top ten unlucky people in terms of misery.

If not, in the original book, the author gave him a happy ending.

Dongfang Shangcan is willing to award him the title of the most miserable protagonist.

"Hina, it's raining so hard, why are you still running around? Come on, let's go home. You should change your clothes quickly, otherwise you will catch a cold."

Following Hinami's fearful gaze, Kaneki Ken saw Dongfang Shangcan and Li Yi.

When he was a normal human, he naturally would not be afraid of the investigators, but now that he has become a ghoul, it is naturally different.

He was extremely frightened inside, but he suppressed his nervousness and pretended to be a brother who came to pick up his naughty sister and wanted to take Hinata away.

Holding a black umbrella, Dongfang Shangcan thought for a while.

It's not impossible to let them go here. Compared with those bloodthirsty ghouls, these two ghouls are extremely harmless.

What's more, if we interfere rashly now, it will most likely affect the subsequent plot.

In this way, his advantage of foresight would be gone.

"...Why should I be afraid of affecting the plot? Because according to the original novel, ghouls and humans live in peace in the end? But that will be at least three years from now, and by then my main quest will have long been a failure."

Since, if I follow the original plot, I will fail. Then why should I follow the original plot?

After asking himself and figuring it all out, Dongfang Shangcan decided to let the original plot die.

From now on, the direction of this story is in my hands.

With this thought in mind, Dongfang Shangcan took out his investigator's credentials and opened them in front of Kaneki Ken, who wanted to take Hinami away.

"Wait, Third Class Investigator Yuebai, I have something to ask you now. Please cooperate."

Suddenly, Kaneki Ken, who was pulling Hinata away, had a look of struggle on his face.

"Mr. Investigator, please ask whatever you want, but can you please hurry up? This child got caught in the rain, and I want her to go back and change her clothes quickly."

Kaneki Ken, who was still afraid of fighting, hesitated for a moment and finally chose to obey.

Looking at the panicked expression of Fueguchi Hinami, Dongfang Shangcan suddenly recalled this episode.

Realizing that if this dragged on any longer, Fueguchi Hinami's mother, Fueguchi Ryoko, might be gone.

So, I decided to cut the Gordian knot.
