Chapter 278 SSS-Level Ghoul! The King of Dark Mist!
……
It started with the one-eyed owl that suddenly appeared on the outer wall of the building and preyed on humans, and ended with it being wrapped in a black cocoon by another monster and taken away.
At this point, the video was played.
The empty conference room suddenly fell into a deathly silence.
Everyone looked at the screen with serious eyes, or to be more precise, the monster on the screen that had never been seen before.
Soon, half a cup of coffee passed, but the investigators present still couldn't calm down.
"How is this possible? That's the one-eyed owl!" A senior investigator who had defeated the 'owl' ten years ago said in disbelief.
He swallowed his non-existent saliva. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never believe that a ghoul could defeat or even kill the one-eyed owl.
Because only those who have fought with the one-eyed owl will understand how powerful the one-eyed owl is. Moreover, ten years have passed, and the strength of the one-eyed owl will only be more terrifying than before!
"The staff of the Intelligence Search Division searched and reviewed a lot of information, and found that no ghoul had ever possessed that form." Kazuki Wakashi frowned and enlarged Xia Shang's photo with the tablet in his hand.
"Kakushi can change the shape of the kagune at will, so it is normal to have a new form that we have never seen before. However, it is difficult for ordinary kagune to do this. Obviously, the ghoul in the video is so powerful that he can decompose the kagune from the blade into countless filaments in a very short time, which shows that his control over the kagune has touched every cell."
Arima Kisho, who was sitting on Kazuki Wakashi's left hand, said softly.
"He is very strong, stronger than all the ghouls I have encountered. The kagune armor all over his body means that his defense is difficult to break, unless he uses a Quinque of SS level or above."
After listening to Arima Kisho's analysis, Kazuki Wakashi cast an admiring look at him.
"How did you figure that out?"
"From the way the One-Eyed Owl fights." Arima Kisho paused, then added: "There must have been another battle between them, and the loser was the One-Eyed Owl. In order to recover its strength, it climbed up the Tanaka Building and devoured the humans inside.
In addition, during the entire battle, it was the ghoul who took the initiative to attack, while the One-Eyed Owl just dodged blindly. However, judging from the current video, the speed of the One-Eyed Owl should be much faster than that of the ghoul, which means that in another battle, the One-Eyed Owl must have taken the initiative to attack.
But it did not penetrate the opponent's defense, or the opponent's self-healing speed made it feel desperate, but I prefer the former."
"Good analysis." Kazuki Shu nodded with relief.
"I have already got some clues about the identity of that ghoul."
As he spoke, Kazuki Shu called up a few photos.
The photos showed devastated buildings and streets, and some houses even turned directly into ruins.
The last photo is a group photo of Kamishiro Rize, Takatsuki Izumi, and Xia Shang.
"The three people in the photo are SS-level glutton, 'Big Ghoul' Kamishiro Rize, contemporary famous novelist Takatsuki Izumi, and S-level ghoul 'An'.
The place where they appeared has become the ruins in the above photos, and the investigators of the 20th District Branch found ghoul blood in it."
He Xiuji put down the tablet, looked directly at the people in front of him, and said solemnly.
"S-level ghoul? Director, do you mean the monster in the video is only S-level? What a joke, if he is S-level, then the one-eyed owl is only A-level." Marute Sai said he couldn't understand.
"Due to some special reasons, I underestimated his strength and set his danger level to S-level."
In fact, He Xiuji didn't know what happened to Kamishiro Rize. The news about Xia Shang was told to him by his father, CCG General Chairman He Xiu Changji.
"Now I have decided to raise his level by two levels, and his title is SSS-level ghoul, the King of Dark Mist!"
"Another SSS-level ghoul?!" A senior investigator exclaimed.
At present, they know of only one SSS-level ghoul, that is the leader of the bronze tree, the one-eyed king. Although Yoshimura Eto has never admitted that she is the one-eyed king, in the eyes of outsiders, she is indeed the leader of the bronze tree, the one-eyed king, but the CCG investigators prefer to call her the one-eyed owl.
Of course, as a half-human, Arima Kisho is actually an SSS-level ghoul.
It's just that no one would regard him as a ghoul.
In addition, there is another SSS-level ghoul that the CCG investigators don't know, that is the leader and founder of the Joker Organization, the mother of chaos Roma.
It's just that this guy has never revealed his true strength. In the eyes of others, she is just an SS-level ghoul.
"Two SSS-level ghouls... This is troublesome."
What the investigators present didn't expect was that there was another 3S-level ghoul today. A 3S-level ghoul has been a headache for them for more than ten years, and now there is another one. It seems that the situation of mankind is really not optimistic.
At this time, the commander-in-chief of the 20th area on the screen, Yukinori Uehara, received an emergency notice from the ghoul shelter.
Seeing Yukinori Uehara's expression change drastically, Shuji couldn't help but ask: "What happened? Your expression is so ugly."
"Just now, a message came from the ghoul shelter, saying that two ghouls had invaded the ghoul shelter and massacred the ghouls there. The investigator in charge of guarding there couldn't stop them at all. I have sent Suzuya Juzo and the others there now.
Not to mention, the situation is urgent and I must rush to the scene as soon as possible. "
Uh-huh! Yukini Shinohara's profile picture instantly turned black, and the tablet he was holding while talking to Shukichi also displayed a disconnection prompt.
"Among the areas that have not been taken over by our CCG, only District 20 is relatively peaceful. However, with the appearance of Kamidai Riyo in District 20, this balance seems to have been broken, and it has become more chaotic than before."
He Xiuji had a headache. He was now considering whether to classify District 20 as a warning area. Once District 20 was classified as a warning area, it meant that CCG would have to invest a lot of financial resources and manpower to protect the residents of District 20 from evacuating.
"Send me there."
Arima Kisho said in a gentle tone.
Faced with Arima Kisho's offer to join him, he became even more entangled with Shukichi. Before, he would have definitely agreed.
After all, Arima Kisho is the trump card in the hands of CCG, but the appearance of the Dark Mist King and the One-Eyed Owl means that there are very likely two 3S-level Heroes in Area 20 at this moment, and of course the One-Eyed Owl is not excluded. The possibility of being killed is only very small. If the King of Dark Mist wants to kill the One-Eyed Owl, there is no need to take him away.
On one side is the life safety of the residents of District 20, and on the other side is the life safety of Arima Kisho... For a time, He and Shuyoshi were caught in a painful decision!
