Everything happened in a very short period of time.

From the moment the non-human monster appeared in Kanekiken's field of vision, it was only a dozen seconds until the other party fled the scene, but it was these ten seconds that made people realize the seriousness of the problem.

This time, the enemy is also a monster, a monster with abilities comparable to or even stronger.

Until a thorough investigation is done, it is safest to treat them as intractable enemies.

So Kaneki immediately relied on the communicator to contact the soldiers stationed everywhere and asked them to find the enemy who had infiltrated the sewers, and then Kaneki also began to carry out the next stage of investigation.

Instead of immediately chasing the enemy, he ran to the office to take a look.

On the way, Kaneki turned on the switch at the entrance, and the white light instantly illuminated the entire space, and the pungent smell of blood was not a taste to endure for the meander, for which his attention was always on the floor in the room.

Sure enough, the man who had snuck into the processing plant at the beginning was lying on the ground, his body had been cut open by the claws, and he had stopped breathing at the moment.

At this time, the communicator in Jin Mu's ears came to communicate, and the other party did not use the channel of the meow species, nor the channel of the soldiers, but the common channel of the entire operation unit.

[The nearby sewer road line has been investigated clearly, and the operators from all over the country rushed to the marked location as soon as possible, and it is best to prepare for the monsters!] 】

Unlike the meows, the soldiers have enough resources to investigate and deploy, so they can grasp the current situation at the first time and make reasonable arrangements.

Kaneki asked the nearby mews to immediately cooperate with the human soldiers to catch the fleeing monster, after all, only by figuring out the true identity of the other party can there be a chance to change the status quo.

"Mr. Gu Wu, have you seen the current picture too? If you find anything, let us know as soon as possible. ”

All of this was foreseen by Gu Wu.

Of course, Gu Wu's prediction was not perfect, he just guessed that there would be tricky guys doing things at this sports conference.

Jin Mu was still a little puzzled about this, you must know that although Gu Wu was just guessing, his tone was very sure, maybe Gu Wu was inextricably linked to this trouble.

"The other party must have had a purpose to make trouble during the convening of this sports conference."

Kaneki believes that a lot of malice has a source.

When confronted with the malice of humans, he understands that they just don't want to put themselves in danger.

Of course, it is not excluded that those who have malicious intentions are not excluded, if there are only good people in the world, I am afraid that this society will be doomed.

As the saying goes, the extreme must be the opposite, and the person who created the incident must have gone to a certain extreme and has his own reason, and this reason is difficult to guess.

After finishing his investigation of the office, Kaneki jumped straight into the entrance and exit of the sewer.

Most of the other party entered here through this passage, so no one saw him.

The sewer was dimly visible, and there was an unpleasant smell in the air, not a foul odor, but the smell of chemicals mixed with disinfectants, and most of the nearby processing plants and warehouses had some chemicals stored.

Fortunately, the ground of the sewer is not very wet, the only trouble is that the light is dim, fortunately, Kaneki, who came prepared, took out a military flashlight, and after turning it on, the strong light penetrated the space with countless dust floating and landed on the wall of the passage that gradually turned left.

Footsteps can be heard, but it's not very obvious, proving that the monster just now has fled into the distance, and its mobility is stronger than that of the meow golden wood.

"Inform all the staff, my side is starting a manhunt from the rear, can the person with the map of the sewer structure give instructions?"

[No problem, you just need to keep walking along the passage now, and then you will face a fork in the road, and the exits connecting the left and right sides are guarded, so you can choose the middle passage directly; There will then be five forks in the road, and there is no need to turn around, and we have quickly blocked the entrance and exit outside the middle, and are preparing to send people to the only exit. 】

That being said

[Other possibilities are not ruled out, please be safe.] 】

"No problem."

If there is only one entrance and exit left, the monster that has no choice may walk towards the only 'trap', or go to the blockades everywhere to gamble.

To ask which option is possible, Kaneki can't deduce, after all, both options can be traps.

The only exit may be an illusion;

The other exits may be guarded by only one person;

All in all, as long as you keep up, you will be able to know what choice the other party has made.

Armed with a flashlight, Kaneki was also not careless when surrounded by monsters, and he carefully observed the situation of this passage every time he advanced, so as to prevent himself from being attacked around the corner and ensure that the action was foolproof.

"The movement is getting smaller and smaller......"

The footsteps could be heard, but it was not very noticeable, and Kaneki, who was puzzled, moved the flashlight, and the white disc that landed on the wall began to shine farther away.

The only thing the light caught was the walls and a few mosquitoes, and the silence of the sewers made people nervous.

During this time, Kaneki kept passing through several forks in the road, and he went straight as the soldiers reminded, without the idea of turning a corner, choosing to trust the people who cooperated with him.

Halfway through, Kaneki suddenly stopped.

"You can all see that this operation is probably coming to an end."

In front of him was a broken wall, scattered with dirt and rock, and the open gap connected to another sewer channel, meaning that the fleeing monster was not in this predicted area, but had fled further into the sewer.

"What a terrible power......"

Kaneki stared at the dug wall, there were still traces of claws everywhere, and it was such a broken cavern that stretched all the way to the next passage, which was enough to prove that the monster had amazing perseverance and stamina.

If you have such power, why run away?

The other party is not like he is afraid, but he is unwilling to fight, and he is an unpredictable guy.

[Mr. Kaneki, Mr. Gu Wu gave a notice from his side, saying that there is no need to continue to waste time on the investigation, unless the sewers in the entire warehouse area and nearby residential areas are monitored, otherwise it will not be possible to investigate such a large area in a short period of time. 】

"It's really troublesome......"

[Mr. Gu Wu will hold an online meeting, please be sure to attend.] 】

"I see."

Kaneki didn't have the idea of staying in the sewers forever, and he began to return the way he came, and soon returned to the area where he had been standing.

There, Dong Xiang and the others did not go elsewhere as backups, and they ran to him after seeing Jin Mu return.

"Are you alright?"

"Well, I will have a meeting with Mr. Gu Wu and them next, I hope things won't get serious because of this."

"Sure enough, I found a monster......

"Dong Xiang."

"Huh?"

"Let's go back."

There's no need to stay here all the time.

Kaneki also hates dangerous guys, so he also hopes to solve the city's problems immediately.

————

On the first night of coming to the city called Wald, Locke and Levi, who had the funds provided by Gu Wu, were staying in the bar at this moment.

Instead of working with Shimazaki and Altair, they arrived in Wald and found a hotel with many bars nearby.

The music in the bar is soft, and it's not as crazy as some places.

Levi, whose face was covered in colored lights, asked as she picked up a glass full of vodka, blushing slightly

"I said Locke, what are you doing here?"

"According to Gu Wu, the main purpose is to catch the suspect who affected the sports conference, this is the content of the commission, but before we get enough information, we should not act casually, after all, if we get something wrong, it will increase the trouble."

"That means you can't find any enemies at all? What a waste of time! Boss! One more drink! ”

"Drink less, and it's not a waste of time at all......"

Locke looked at the red wine in front of him and continued to explain.

"Not to mention the generous reward provided by Gu Wu, it doesn't hurt us to know about this world, at least it will help me solve the puzzle."

"Thinking too much is a long life! Let's drink! Today I have a treat! ”

"I won't lose my life...... Besides, this time's consumption is all advanced from the remuneration, even if it is a treat from Levy, it is just spending our money, to put it bluntly, it is the AA system. ”

Ha! Levi, who had drunk the spirits, exhaled and patted Locke on the shoulder with her hand.

"What are you going to do now? There is no such thing as a leisurely time in life! ”

"I think Levy you're getting too far."

Locke didn't want to carry a drunk Levy back to her room in case she vomited......

Even if Levi had a good amount of wine, Locke stopped him and asked the bartender to bring out the decanting tea.

"How can you get drunk if you haven't drunk enough? You're worrying too much! ”

"Wait, Gu Wu has been contacted over there."

Locke took out the phone he had received from Richardson, the butler, and opened the text message that made the phone vibrate, and there was a concise message in it.

The title is "Target Person".

Wearing a trench coat-style outfit and carrying a gray backpack, the subject is highly likely to be male, with thick hair and sharp claws, and is a humanoid monster with a potentially altered outfit.

Humanoid monsters? Isn't it easy to see at a glance?

Faced with this strange target, Locke thought it was a prank for a while, but since it was sent by Gu Wu, there was still credibility.

But—

"Isn't it like a wild beast with thick hair and sharp claws? Most of these people wear hoods and gloves to cover up when they go out. ”

"What are you talking about?"

"This ......"

"I'll see...... Is it to catch aliens? ”

"Maybe that's the case."

Locke was quick to introduce Levi's words.

In fact, Locke's response was not entirely a joke, after all, he had seen Gu Wu and the girl named Altaïr very inhuman strength before, and that scene was the same as the special effects of the movie.

Now that you've got the information, it's good to be careful when you go out.

"It's not too early, let's go back first, Levi...... Wait, you don't drink it. ”

"One last cup! Let's have one last drink! ”

"That's what you said."

Although he thought about leaving Levi, in the end Locke chose to compromise.

As a result, what made Locke helpless was that the wine glass taken out by the other party was much larger than before, most of which was deliberately ordered by Levy.

"Drink!"

"Yes yes yes ......"

Unable to refuse, Locke cooperated with Levy to drink the liquor from the magnograph, which made his head a little dizzy.

However, Locke hadn't drunk much before, and it wasn't enough to affect his next actions.

After paying, Locke grabbed the somewhat crooked Levy and headed towards the hotel, where he came out of the bar and prepared to take a taxi.

At night, the streets are cool, and the wind that sweeps through the neighborhood takes away the surface heat and makes it much more sober.

"Levi, Levi, wake up."

"What? I didn't sleep. ”

"Look ahead."

"What?"

Locke pointed ahead, where there was a man.

At first, Locke didn't think it would be such a coincidence, after all, the other party was likely to make a change, change clothes, put a backpack in a suitcase, etc., but when he left the bar with Levi, he saw a man in a trench coat on the side of the road at first sight, and the other party was also carrying a gray backpack diagonally.

It's very similar to the description just now, even if it's not the same person, there is a need to investigate.

"Mr. over there, may I disturb you?"

Hearing Locke's voice, the other party turned his head to look, and then walked towards the street in front of him without looking back.

"Hey! Guy over there! We're just going to ask a question! No malice! ”

"Levi, it's strange that someone will be obedient to your tone."

"A trench coat and a gray backpack, this strange combination is rare, isn't it?"

"That's true......

Locke was surprised that Levy remembered everything just now, and he was so drunk that he was even staggering when he walked.

At this time, Levy broke free from Locke's support, and she quickly chased after the man who had just left.

As Levy reached out to grab the other man's shoulder, the man in front of him jerked around, his clenched fist suddenly striking at Levy.

Although Levy was drunk, she was still very alert, and she lowered herself to dodge from the side and hugged the other person.

The man was visibly taken aback, and grabbed Levi's arms and twisted them, forcing Levi to let go of her hands, and at this time, she was also kicked down by the other party.

"Hey! What do you do all of a sudden! You look like a dangerous guy! ”

"Locke, it's ...... noisy"

"You're ......"

Grabbing Locke's shoulders and standing up, Levy asked Locke to contact Gu Wu quickly.

"Hurry up."

"Why are you contacting Gu Wu?"

"This thing ......"

Levy opened her right hand and there was a small black pouch.

"It's something that I stole from my backpack the moment I grabbed the other person."

"Okay...... I'll get in touch right away. ”

The night was no ordinary.
