Chapter 860 Bronze Tree

For the Special Countermeasures Bureau, the fact that ghouls actually appeared in the headquarters made them very angry and shocked.

As mentioned before, the Countermeasures Bureau actually has something to identify ghouls. Of course, it is not as powerful as the auspicious instrument of the Inquisition, but it is also very useful overall.

That is the RC detection door.

According to the Countermeasures Bureau's analysis of the corpses of ghouls, the content of a kind of RC cells in ghouls is far higher than that of humans. In fact, ghouls eat people to absorb RC cells in the human body.

In response to this, the Countermeasures Bureau invented the RC detection door, which will scan all in and out. Once it finds that the RC cells exceed the human level, it will naturally sound an alarm.

The result is good. The green-haired woman walked back and forth in the detection door, and the detection door didn't make any sound?

This thing is still useless! Is it broken? Or is it a quality problem? Or is it just a defective product?

So for a while, the entire Special Countermeasures Bureau headquarters was directly blocked, and everyone had to undergo further inspection again. After all, no one knows whether there will be more ghouls sneaking in.

Of course, Duanmu Huai was also called in and asked how he knew that the other party was a ghoul. Duanmu Huai did not hide this and directly took out the bird divination instrument.

"Is this it?"

Special Investigator Marute looked at the bird divination instrument in front of him with a serious expression.

"I never thought that the Tribunal had this ability to lock the ghoul with such a small device... But I also understand why you can do it so easily and quickly... Forget it, it's useless to say this."

Special Investigator Marute coughed and then looked at Duanmu Huai.

"Then, Mr. Duanmu, I have an unwelcome request. Can you help us conduct a comprehensive search of the entire headquarters members? We suspect that in addition to that woman, there are likely to be other ghouls hiding their identities here."

"Of course no problem."

Fortunately, after Duanmu Huai searched the entire Countermeasures Bureau headquarters members, the other investigators and staff were ruled out of suspicion. This also made the investigators feel relieved. Obviously, it was not the RC detection door that had a problem, but the green-haired woman had somehow avoided the RC detection door's scan.

This is of course... absolutely intolerable!

Soon, the body that was beaten to pieces by Mary was immediately sent for research, and the investigators rushed to the green-haired woman's home like hungry wolves—after all, she was not an ordinary person, but a well-known novelist in society. She has a great social influence and also knows a lot of people.

So, how many of these people she knows are ghouls?

This is the question that the investigators need to investigate.

Duanmu Huai was not interested in this, so he left the headquarters directly with Mary. As for the rest, let's wait for the investigators to find clues before making a judgment.

By the way, he also lent the auspicious instrument to the Countermeasures Bureau. As you can imagine, the investigators are scanning everywhere with the auspicious instrument. Once they find the hidden ghouls, it is not a good thing. Well, that is for the ghouls.

For humans, it is obviously not a bad thing.

But for the ghouls, it is a nightmare.

"What is going on! Why did it become like this!"

A blue-haired boy punched the table fiercely, clenching his teeth, looking extremely angry. There are several groups of ghouls, and at present, this blue-haired boy is a member of the Bronze Tree, one of the ghoul groups. When the Bronze Tree was first established, its goal was to create an autonomous region belonging to the ghouls. And the strength of the Bronze Tree is indeed quite strong. They have successfully conquered the ghouls in several regions and brought them under their command.

They even imitated the system of the Special Countermeasures Bureau and organized a hunting team with members to hunt those investigators.

Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. Just when the Bronze Tree was feeling proud, they were hit hard.

In fact, Duanmu Huai didn't know that the auction he had destroyed before was actually the industry of the Bronze Tree. After all, in order to maintain its huge organizational structure, the Bronze Tree also needed to operate and obtain financial support. So they organized the auction and contacted many high-ranking ghouls to help cover it.

However, everything was ruined overnight.

Not only was the auction directly destroyed by the Tribunal, but even those ghoul families were not spared and all died. This naturally shocked other ghoul groups. There were even rumors that those people were targeted by the Countermeasures Bureau and lost their lives because of the Bronze Tree.

So everyone was in danger for a while. Although the expansion of the Bronze Tree was much smoother than before, it was not because of their huge power, but because other ghoul groups hurried away when they heard that the Bronze Tree was coming. Lest they be associated with them, they would be executed like those ghoul nobles.

Not only that, even within the Bronze Tree, many of the younger brothers chose to leave because they believed the rumors. Although the upper echelons forcibly suppressed their dissatisfaction, but…

“Damn it!”

The blue-haired boy slammed the table again, then sat down uneasily. The reason why he is so depressed is not because of the difficulties faced by the Bronze Tree, but because of his sister - his innocent sister who longs to coexist with humans. In a coffee shop called the Safe Zone in District 20 life, but has recently disappeared. He once went to check it out, only to find that the entire coffee shop had been sealed off, and he also heard that all the ghouls here had been eliminated...

He didn't know what happened to his sister, but the discovery made him restless.

"We have to make a choice."

At this moment, another man wearing a mask said coldly.

"Judging from the current situation, humans are gradually encircling us. Under the current circumstances, it is very dangerous for the Bronze Tree to continue to expand, so... From now on, I think the Bronze Tree should go to Area 24 to temporarily avoid the limelight. "

"What did you say?"

Hearing the masked man's words, the blue-haired boy rushed over and grabbed him by the collar.

"Are you kidding, you want us to go to Area 24?!"

No wonder the blue-haired boy is so angry. The so-called District 24 is not an official area name, but a deep underground water network located under the city. It has become a gathering place for many ghouls a long time ago. Those desperate ghouls with nowhere to go will hide underground. Over time, this place has become a new area.

District 24.

But...this is where only losers go!

"Are you saying that we Bronze Trees are going to be like those losers and flee into the hole in despair?"

"Don't be so excited."

The masked man patted the blue-haired boy's hand. Although his movement didn't seem too big, the blue-haired boy's hand was still slapped away.

"You should know very well that this time the situation is completely different. This is not the first time that the Special Countermeasures Bureau has hunted ghouls, but it has never been as efficient as now - dozens of ghoul families were wiped out overnight. , no one survived. We don’t even know who did it. In this case, continuing to expand blindly will only bring more danger to the Bronze Tree, and..."

"and?"

"Where do you think those ghouls who left their sphere of influence went?"

"………………"

Hearing the masked man's question, the blue-haired boy's anger subsided slightly.

"You mean...they also went to District 24?"

"This is the only possibility, continue to stay on the ground, no matter where it is, it is not safe. Only Area 24 is the territory that the ghouls completely control. There, we can control everything and continue our plan. We will not give up this opportunity. , all we have to do now is to temporarily withdraw our fists..."

As he spoke, the masked man clenched his fists and drew them back.

"Then, wait for the right moment to swing."

Speaking of this, the masked man's tone was extremely cold.

"Just wait, the Bronze Tree will definitely come back."

Duanmuhuai didn't care or care about what the ghouls thought. After all, it was nothing to him.

"How about it? Now you don't have to worry about your competitors."

After leaving the countermeasures bureau, Duanmuhuai smiled and teased Mary, who also blushed when she heard Duanmuhuai's words.

"I'm not worried. Even if you don't kill her, Mr. Duanmu, I won't lose to her!"

"Okay, okay, just kidding, who calls her a ghoul? Just die."

Duanmuhuai waved his hand and then glanced at the time. He had been delayed a lot of time because of the green-haired woman. Later, all employees at the Countermeasures Bureau headquarters were tested. By the time everything was over, it was already night time. It was now time for get off work and school to end, and there were many people coming and going on the roads around them. They obviously knew nothing about everything that happened in the Countermeasures Bureau, and they just lived in their own peaceful world——Well, actually, this is not the case. There's nothing wrong with that. After all, some things are better never known.

anyway……………

"Are you hungry? How about we go find a place to eat?"

"It's no problem, but..."

"but?"

"However, I won't drink this time."

"Well, it's better to drink less."

Regarding Mary's solemn answer, Duanmuhuai also shrugged his shoulders and nodded.

"It's better to drink less of this kind of thing that can affect your judgment. How about drinking juice?"

"You must be fat..."

"It's okay. If it doesn't say anything on it, it means zero card."

"………………All right…………"
