Chapter 858: One-Eye Reappears
"...Unexpectedly, we have caused a powerful trouble."
After listening to Investigator Aaron's report, the senior officials of the Countermeasures Bureau also frowned.
"What does it matter? I don't think the Inquisition did anything wrong."
But soon, someone spoke.
"Those are the ghouls and their servants who deserve to die. If we get clues, won't we eliminate them? In my opinion, the Tribunal's approach is very correct. If they are really the guardians of mankind as they say, organization, so wouldn’t it be a good thing to leave the ghouls to them?”
"However, the Tribunal's behavior is too cruel and may bring unimaginable consequences..."
"In that regard, we just need to use public opinion to block the intelligence. Originally, to deal with an enemy like the One-Eyed Owl, we had to block the entire neighborhood, evacuate a large number of civilians, and even lose a lot of manpower to achieve the goal. However, the Inquisition did not If you can do this easily and without any loss, what is a mere public opinion compared to this? You don’t still have that old-fashioned sense of territory, right?”
For a while, the senior officials of the Countermeasures Bureau also started arguing. Some people thought that the actions of Duanmu Huai and the Tribunal were too unscrupulous and even a little wanton.
But another group of people think that as long as the other party is dealing with ghouls, then it doesn't matter at all. After all, the Special Countermeasures Bureau exists to eliminate ghouls, and the interests of both parties are the same. If the Countermeasures Bureau had the power of the Inquisition, they would surely have taken similar actions long ago. Moreover, although the Inquisition killed a lot of people, they caused very little damage because of their strength.
If it were the Countermeasures Bureau, it would be impossible for them to uproot all the ghoul families based on last night's actions alone. Even killing one of them might require a lot of the Countermeasures Bureau's manpower. In contrast, the Inquisition was able to kill all the opponents easily, and all they had to do was finish it off. Isn't this a good thing?
Of course, the final result of the discussion was to continue to cooperate with the Tribunal for the time being, and at the same time require them to report to the Countermeasures Bureau before taking action - after all, compared to boring reasons such as disturbing social order, most investigators still Want to see all the ghouls killed.
They themselves don't have this ability, but the Tribunal does, so naturally they have to support the Tribunal.
In comparison, riots and the like can be solved by blocking information and controlling public opinion. It is better than killing a bunch of people in the countermeasures bureau every time.
So Aaron had to serve as the microphone again. Fortunately, Duanmuhuai didn't take it seriously.
"Okay, if the Tribunal takes action, I will call you, but our actions are our own business, so even if the Countermeasures Bureau requests it, our Tribunal will not obey it."
"Hey...this can be considered some progress."
Upon hearing Duanmuhuai's answer, Investigator Yamen sighed helplessly, while Duanmuhuai chuckled.
"By the way, by the way, Inspector Manado is hospitalized? Are you going to change your partner?"
"It said they would find me a new partner, but I'm still hesitant. After all, Mr. Mano... maybe he will get up from the hospital bed and return to the front line tomorrow."
"That's true. He is indeed tenacious. I heard that he seems to be recovering."
Duanmuhuai chatted with the Yamen investigator, while Mary followed them. The three of them arrived at the lobby on the first floor of the Countermeasures Bureau, and just as they were about to pass through the security gate Suddenly, a petite woman with green hair and glasses came over.
"Wow, hello, are you the investigators? If you don't mind, can you answer a few questions for me?"
"Why?"
Faced with the sudden appearance of the green-haired woman, Investigator Yamen was stunned for a moment. At this time, he saw a staff member running over in a hurry. When he saw Investigator Yamen, he hurriedly saluted him.
"Ah, hello, First Class Investigator Yamen. This lady is here to collect information..."
"Fetching materials?"
Investigator Amen frowned when he heard the female staff member's words.
"But the basic policy of the Countermeasures Bureau does not allow the collection of materials..."
"Why?"
After hearing the answer from Investigator Amen, Mary was stunned for a moment, but she quickly closed her mouth and turned her head to look to the side.
The female staff member gave a wry smile.
"Having said that, she is very famous..."
"………………"
Hearing this, Investigator Yamen looked at the latter again, and saw the green-haired woman smiling and waving to them.
"...Okay, I understand, it's just for a while."
In the end, Investigator Yamen could only nod helplessly.
Although Investigator Yamen hoped to end the collection of information as soon as possible, what he did not expect was that Duanmu Huai and Mary did not intend to leave, but followed them into the reception room next to them. This made Investigator Yamen very helpless, but he could not expose the existence of the Tribunal to the outside world...so he had to pretend that he had not seen it.
So, let's fight as quickly as possible.
Sitting at the table and looking at the green-haired woman opposite, Yamen coughed.
"Basically speaking, we are not allowed to use materials... so..."
"Ah, please don't worry. I just want to know a little thing. I plan to investigate the matter of ghouls for my new work."
Hearing Yamen's answer, the green-haired woman smiled and waved her hand, while Mary's eyes flashed and she stared at her seriously.
Duanmu Huai silently glanced at Mary beside him. It was rare for the latter to be so aggressive.
I see, the subject matter overlaps.
That's really going to be a fight to the death.
"It's not a big deal."
While speaking, the green-haired woman turned the pen in her hand.
"I just want to know, for the investigators on the front line, what kind of existence is the ghoul?"
"Of course it is dangerous and needs to be eliminated."
Investigator Yamen gave the answer without hesitation.
"I see, a very standard answer... So personally, don't you think that ghouls and humans have something in common? They can speak human language, communicate with people, and have their own ideas. How would it feel to fight against such an object?"
"Hmm........."
Hearing this, Yamen thought seriously, but before he could answer the question, he heard Duanmu Huai sneer beside him.
"So what? Even if they can speak human language, have human emotions and ideas, they are still just monsters - but they are just monsters that can speak human language."
"Just monsters that can speak human language...?"
"That's right."
Looking at the green-haired woman in front of him, Duanmu Huai sneered.
"Let's take a step back. Even if ghouls can communicate with humans, what's the point? Ghouls can only survive by eating people. Can communication stop them from eating people? How is this different from letting them die? If that's the case, then why waste time communicating? The result is the same. It's faster to kill them."
"I see, I see..."
The green-haired woman nodded vigorously, turned her pen, and then wrote it down in the notebook in front of her, while Duanmu Huai narrowed his eyes and stared at her.
"Hey, don't mind if I ask you a question?"
"Of course, what's your question?"
Hearing Duanmu Huai's question, the green-haired woman with glasses also laughed and looked at Duanmu Huai and asked.
"My question is very simple."
Before he finished speaking, Duanmu Huai's arm went directly over the table, grabbed the green-haired woman's head, and lifted her up directly.
"Who gave you the courage to do this? As a ghoul, you dare to come under our noses to cause trouble. Do you really think we are blind?!"
"What?"
Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, Inspector Yamen was shocked, and Mary jumped up directly. Although Mary had never communicated with Duanmu Huai from beginning to end, Mary had long guessed that there was something wrong with this woman. After all, with Mary's understanding of Duanmu Huai, she knew that Duanmu Huai hated boring things the most. According to Duanmu Huai's usual reaction, when this green-haired woman found Inspector Yamen, he should have turned around and left.
But Duanmu Huai not only did not leave, but followed her. This itself has already explained the problem.
So compared to Yamen, Mary was mentally prepared for this.
As for whether Duanmu Huai would like this woman... Well, I have to say that Mary thinks it is unlikely.
After all, there are many more beautiful and lovely people in the trial court than this green-haired woman.
Now it seems that Mary's judgment is correct.
Duanmu Huai was fast, and the green-haired woman was not slow either. Just as Duanmu Huai grabbed her head and lifted her up, the green-haired woman's entire body expanded rapidly, and in a moment she turned into a several-meter-long ghoul that was almost as tall as Duanmu Huai.
Not only that, but what was even more striking was that there was only one eye in the center of the ghoul's head!
"One-eyed owl? How is that possible?"
Seeing this scene, Investigator Yamen was shocked. The one-eyed owl had died before, so why did another one appear?
What was going on?
"Bang!"
The bone spurs behind the ghoul instantly unfolded, breaking free from Duanmu Huai's restraints, and the next moment the huge ghoul wanted to escape.
Of course, Duanmu Huai would not give it this opportunity.
"Go to hell!"
With a roar, Duanmu Huai clenched his fists again and blasted at the tall ghoul in front of him!
