Chapter 854: Nobody
The rainstorm has stopped, but the chill that came with it has not been eliminated.
The old man stood in front of the counter, looking at the snowflakes falling outside the window, his expression serious.
"Really, where did Touka and Hinami go? And Kaneki too..."
A man in a waiter's uniform with an outdated crew cut complained in a low voice, while the long-haired woman beside him quietly cleaned up the dishes in her hands.
"Maybe he went somewhere to play, after all, he is a kid."
Another blond man with glasses sitting in front of the bar snorted and then stood up.
"I'm going home, but I'm not interested in wasting time here waiting for those kids to come back."
As he spoke, the blond man with glasses waved to everyone and walked towards the door.
Seeing his actions, the other three looked at each other and smiled knowingly. They knew very well that although the blond man with glasses said so, in fact, he was going to find Kaneki and the others. After all, this person is like this. Even if he doesn't forgive others, he still takes good care of his juniors.
"Really, a bunch of little brats who never grow up..."
Muttering, the blond man with glasses walked to the door and stretched out his hand to hold the door handle.
"Puff!"
At the same time, the heavy door suddenly broke open, and an iron fist burst out from it, and then hit the blond man's face. At this moment, the blond man's head suddenly exploded like a watermelon, and the brain and flesh were shattered, and the headless body shook left and right twice, and then fell to the ground.
Then, Duanmu Huai's tall figure walked in from outside the door. He raised his head, glanced around, and then shook the blood on his hands.
"What a dirty and ugly place. The stench of the bastards is unbearable..."
"———————!"
Just as Duanmu Huai walked into the door, the somewhat fat man with a crew cut and the long-haired woman jumped up from behind the counter in a move that was almost impossible for humans to do. A tail appeared behind the man with a crew cut, and two pairs of strange wings appeared behind the long-haired woman, stabbing towards Duanmu Huai.
The next moment, their heads were firmly grasped by Duanmu Huai's big hand. Before the two could struggle, Duanmu Huai squeezed them hard with both hands, and the heads of the two people turned into bloody residues like crushed oranges. Then Duanmu Huai loosened his hands and let the two bodies fall to the ground. Then he slowly shifted his gaze and looked at the old man with white hair and beard who had been standing behind the bar.
"You are the only one left, old man, come out and die."
"……………………"
The old man sighed, then slowly walked around the bar and walked out. He looked at Duanmu Huai in front of him and was silent for a moment.
"How are Dong Xiang and the others?"
"They're dead."
Duanmu Huai moved his fingers, grinned, and looked at the old man in front of him with a hideous and cruel smile.
"Don't worry, you will soon meet them in that world."
"Really..."
The old man looked around and then retracted his gaze.
"It will disturb the neighbors here, let's go to another place."
"It doesn't matter."
Duanmu Huai didn't care about the old man's suggestion.
"It's just a matter of time anyway."
"Come with me."
As he spoke, the old man walked towards the door, and Duanmu Huai followed him. The two left the cafe one after another and came to the nearby street - the street was empty at the moment. Snowflakes fell from the sky, covering the ground with a thin layer.
"Really, I heard that this is the first snow of the year, but I have to entangle with an old man here."
Duanmu Huai complained and looked at the old man in front of him.
"Let's finish it quickly. I'm still waiting to go to the restaurant with my sister to enjoy it."
"I'm really sorry."
Hearing Duanmu Huai's complaint, the old man laughed, and then his body gradually began to swell. Then, the old man's body grew to be almost as tall as Duanmu Huai, and on his two thick arms, there were bone spurs like a knight's lance. And on his face, there was a mask with only one eye.
"I also want to finish it as soon as possible, so... Come on, let's fight each other!"
As the voice fell, countless spikes suddenly burst out of the body of this huge ghoul and shot towards Duanmu Huai. Duanmu Huai clenched his fists, not caring about the spikes shooting at him, and strode towards the huge ghoul in front of him!
"Dangdangdangdang!!"
The sharp spikes that were enough to penetrate steel hit Duanmu Huai and were directly bounced away, without even causing any damage to him. Duanmu Huai rushed to the giant ghoul, and at the same time, the giant ghoul clenched the bone spurs with both hands and stabbed Duanmu Huai with force!
"Huh---!"
Under the heavy wind pressure, even the snowflakes around danced with it, and Duanmu Huai's clenched right fist blasted out without care, colliding with the oncoming bone spurs!
"Bang!"
The conical bone spur pierced Duanmu Huai's fist directly. Logically, this blow was enough to make the bone spur penetrate Duanmu Huai's palm and even tear his arm. However, the result was completely different. The bone spur spear with a huge force completely collapsed the moment it came into contact with Duanmu Huai's fist, just like a comet hitting the earth. The incomparable and irresistible force instantly penetrated the arm of the giant ghoul, causing its entire arm to explode like a balloon.
However, this force that was enough to paralyze ordinary ghouls did not completely destroy the tall and strong ghoul in front of him. Countless flesh and blood quickly gushed out of the wound, and in the blink of an eye, the arm that was blasted by Duanmu Huai was restored to its original state.
But for Duanmu Huai, this was nothing at all.
"It's not over yet!"
Duanmu Huai roared, grabbed the arms of the ghoul in front of him with both hands, then tilted his head back, and then rushed forward with force! Directly hit the opponent's face!
"Bang!!"
Duanmu Huai's forehead hit the one-eyed mask of the ghoul. The next moment, the ghoul's head exploded as if it was hit by a cannonball. At the same time, his tall body also cracked. Duanmu Huai used both hands to grab the arms of the giant ghoul again. His ten fingers deeply embedded in the opponent's shoulder blades. Then, Duanmu Huai suddenly shouted angrily and opened his hands!
"Tear!"
The next moment, the huge ghoul was like a heavy coat. It was torn in half by Duanmu Huai from the middle. The hot internal organs rolled out of the crack and scattered all over the ground. Then Duanmu Huai threw his arms and threw the body of the giant ghoul that was torn in half to the side.
"Very good, done."
Duanmu Huai looked at the body that was no longer squirming and completely turned into fragments, and snapped his fingers. It was not until this time that Mary came out from the other side and looked at Duanmu Huai helplessly.
"Mr. Duanmu, you've stained your clothes again..."
"It's okay, go back and change."
"I suggest you take a shower... After all, can't you use a simpler method? Why do you always make it so..."
As she spoke, Mary looked at the blood and internal organs on the ground, speechless.
"It's a habit, and I can't change it for a while. And strictly speaking, I still like to do it. It feels really good to blow someone's head off."
"I can't understand... In short, please go back and take a shower and change clothes."
"You don't have to be so anxious, are you a germaphobe?"
"... Are you going to wear this set of clothes covered with brains, blood and minced meat to eat in the restaurant?"
"Of course not... OK."
Duanmu Huai looked at his bloody hands and the debris on his body and curled his lips.
"I'll call Yamen now and ask them to clean up the mess here, and then we'll go see if the store recommended by Inspector Mado is as good as he said."
For Duanmu Huai, this was just a casual killing of a group of ghouls, but when Inspector Yamen and the people from the Countermeasures Bureau arrived at the scene after receiving the news, they were shocked to see what they saw.
"What did you say?!"
After receiving the report from Inspector Yamen, Commander Heipan looked extremely surprised.
"Are you sure, Inspector Yamen?"
"Yes, I'm sure that among the ghoul corpses present, there are Black Dog and Demon Ape——and One-eyed Owl... I have confirmed their identities, yes, they are them!"
"How could it be possible........."
Although he had heard the answer, Commander Heipan still looked dull. Black Dog and Demon Ape were both leaders of the ghoul group who were once famous in District 20, and they were all ghouls whose dangerous level was classified as SS-level. Not to mention One-eyed Owl——that is extremely rare and is classified as SSS-level. Logically speaking, to defeat a ghoul of this level, even the Countermeasures Bureau would need to block the entire block, send hundreds of excellent soldiers, and even sacrifice several elite investigators to be able to do it.
However... that Inquisition actually killed three such powerful beings so easily? Not only that, according to the report of Inquisitor Yamen, there were no traces of fierce fighting nearby, which means that the strength of the Inquisition far exceeds these three ghouls, because only in this way can such a crushing battle be fought!
"Where are the people from the Inquisition?"
"Uh... They said they were going to have a midnight snack..."
"Huh?"
Hearing Yamen's answer, the Black Plate Commander was speechless, but he had no choice. After all, although this was considered cooperation, it was strictly speaking just a commission. The Countermeasures Bureau commissioned the Inquisition to eliminate the ghouls, and they had already eliminated the ghouls - it can even be said that it exceeded the expectations of the Countermeasures Bureau.
Originally, the Black Plate Commander only regarded the Inquisition as a mercenary, but now it seems that their strength has completely exceeded his expectations.
Thinking of this, the Black Plate Commander's face also condensed.
"Investigator Yamen, from now on, everything about the Tribunal is top secret and must not be disclosed to anyone. Do you understand?"
"Huh? Ah, yes..."
Investigator Yamen was a little surprised by the order from Commander Hei Pan, but he still obeyed the order and hung up the phone.
"Huh............"
After hanging up the phone, Commander Hei Pan lit a cigarette and then looked at the computer screen in front of him.
The reason why he gave this order to Investigator Yamen was very simple. After learning about the strength of the Tribunal, Commander Hei Pan suddenly had a bold idea in his mind.
There was once a plan, a plan that was enough to completely destroy the ghoul clan, but that plan was only on paper, and the reason was also very simple. The Countermeasures Bureau did not have enough power to implement this opportunity. It has even been placed in the safe of the Countermeasures Bureau as a whimsical fantasy.
However, if it is the Tribunal, if it is the Tribunal that can easily eliminate even SSS-level ghouls... maybe it can succeed.
Thinking of this, Commander Hei Pan grabbed the cigarette and pressed it hard into the ashtray.
However, to be on the safe side, in order to prevent the Ghoul Group from getting the information, he had to strictly block all news about the Inquisition and use the Inquisition as the final trump card of this plan... Only in this way can the plan of completely eliminating the Ghouls be completed.
This also means that they will not be praised, or even appear in the news and media, but will become unknown people... Well, I don't know if they will accept such an arrangement.
Thinking of this, the Black Plate Commander thought for a moment.
Perhaps, it's time to talk to the Inquisition.
