Chapter 849: Tracking
According to the Investigator of the Shinto, the movement of these ghouls has become more and more erratic recently, and their hunting of humans has become more frequent and rampant in the center of Area 11, and there are even several investigators who have been murdered by them. It is not known what these ghouls are planning, but it is clear that a large-scale conflict between ghouls and humans is comingβββ which is why the Special Countermeasures Bureau invited the Inquisition to assist them.
And right now, what the Mato Investigator and the Amen Investigator are tracking is a ghoul known as the S-class. According to reports, Jason, an S-Class Ghoul in District 13, had been in contact with the S-Class Ghoul in District 20 several months ago, and they found a strange item left behind by Jason, which they believe may be a precursor to some kind of event due to the current Ghoul activity in the city that is starting to become active.
As a result, the Special Countermeasures Bureau began to search for powerful high-level ghouls and try to get clues from them. That's why Amen and Mado went to Area 20 to search for information about Oh and Jason.
Of course, since ghouls mostly wear masks to hide their true colors, it is actually difficult to identify ghouls even if they are face to face with an investigator, but it doesn't matter, they have their own methods.
It's like now.
"Woo-ah...............!"
With a scream, a man in a jumper suddenly emerged from the shadows, opened his mouth and pounced on the rickety figure in front of him.
Like a beast in the jungle, like a greedy hyena.
"Hey, hey, hey........."
However, in the face of the enemy who jumped up from behind and pounced on him like a beast, the man with his body slumped only sneered, then he turned around and raised his hand violentlyβββ and the next moment, he saw the man fall to the ground.
"I see, lead the snake out of the hole."
It was only then that Duanmu Huai and Mary, along with the Amen searcher, appeared from the other side of the alley and walked up to the man.
Outwardly, this guy is almost indistinguishable from a human, except that the whites of his eyes are black, and the pupils are red......... The previous blow tore his body cleanly, and if it weren't for the mercy of the real inquisitor, then he would have already been a corpse.
"That's right, these guys are like hungry wild dogs."
The Mato Investigator looked up with an icy smile and looked at the ghouls trembling on the ground.
"For them, human meat has a sweet taste like hamburger meat, so they will never miss the opportunity to enjoy a free meal whenever they have the opportunity."
With that, the Mato Investigator looked up and winked at Amen. The latter stepped forward and took out a witness bag from his bosomβββ which contained something resembling a vice.
"Do you know what this thing is?"
"Huh? What, what? β
The ghoul in front of him seemed completely frightened by the two of them, staring at them blankly, not knowing what to say. The real inquisitor narrowed his eyes and stared at him like a snake.
"I'll just ask again, have you seen anything like this?"
"I, I don't know! What is that? β
"Hahh..............."
Hearing the ghoul's answer, the Mato Investigator sighed.
"Failed? But it's also normal, so ........."
As he spoke, the real household investigator raised his hand, but at this moment, Duanmu Huai spoke up.
"Wait."
"Oh? What's the matter? β
"This guy is useless to you, isn't he?"
"That's right."
"So, if you don't mind, let me use it."
While speaking, Duanmu Huai took out the bird divination instrument from his arms.
"What is this?"
"Our Inquisition gadgets, as long as it can read the ghouls' physical characteristics and fluctuations, it will search for similar things, although it is good to lure snakes out of their holes, but I think it would be more interesting if we could pull them out directly, wouldn't it?"
"That's a ..............."
Hearing Duanmu Huai's answer, the real household investigator's eyes widened in surprise, and he looked at the bird instrument in Duanmu Huai's hand with a look of interest.
"I really didn't expect you to have such a good thing......... Well, I'll leave it to you. β
As he spoke, the Mato Investigator stepped back, while Duanmu Huai stepped forward and looked coldly at the ghoul who had fallen to the ground. At this moment, the latter was already trembling all over his body and was terrified.
"Wait, wait, what do you want to do? No, don't, don't ...............! β
However, before the ghoul could finish his words, Duanmu Huai raised the bird instrument and inserted it directly into his brain.
"Wooβββββ!!!"
At this moment, the ghoul's eyes widened suddenly, his eyeballs almost protruding from his sockets, his whole body writhing uncontrollably, a fishy liquid and dark yellow emerging from between his strands, whimpering screams coming from his throat, and then, he shook his legs like a dying frog, and then completely lost his breath.
It was only then that Duanmu Huai pulled out the brain-stained bird instrument and checked the parameters on it.
"How?"
"The basic parameters have been gathered."
Duanmu Huai raised his head and pressed the button of the bird divination, and the next moment, I saw a radar-like picture appear on it, and then not far away, a point of light was flickering incessantly.
"It looks like there should be another ghoul near us, based on the scan."
"Ohβββββ that's a good thing."
Seeing this scene, the real inquisitor's eyes lit up, and then he grinned and showed a hideous smile.
"Let's go, it looks like we're going to be busy tonight........."
I have to say that for Duanmu Huai, working with the investigator is also a very new thing. Because in the west, most of the members of the special department are more in charge of the background, and the really difficult work is left to the investigators. But here it is clearly different, and the Inquisitors will also face ghouls. Of course, it is impossible to defeat these monsters whose bodies are far more powerful than humans by relying solely on human weapons, but for humans, the most important thing is never the bodyβββ but the mind.
These ghouls possess a thing called Hechong in their bodies, which is simply the source of ghouls' powers. These inquisitors take the Hezhong from the bodies of the slain ghouls and then craft them into weapons with special abilities to use.
And such a weapon will naturally be able to break through the ghoul's body defenses.
Once again, humans are the world's top predators.
Not only that, but as search officers, they are also very good.
"Is this it?"
Looking at the tin house not far away, Duanmu Huai asked, while the real household investigator beside him nodded.
"That's right, judging by the information provided by the garbage, this thing can only be made by the doctor here......... Hey, hey, I didn't expect ghouls to need doctors, it's funny, isn't it? β
"So we're waiting now?"
"This thing was found where Jason met Big Woo."
The real investigator shook the plastic bag in his hand.
"In other words, just keep an eye on this place, and you're sure to find one of them."
"That's what you call an S-class ghoul? Sounds like a bit of a hassle, do you need our help? β
Duanmu Huai said as he moved his hands.
"No, please watch with this eldest lady, although I'm sorry, but I don't plan to give the prey to others."
"I see, so if you can't handle it, I'll do it again."
Hearing the answer of the real inquisitor, Duanmu shrugged his shoulders and stepped back with Mary.
"Bang!!"
And just then, suddenly, the walls of the tin house in front of him suddenly cracked, and then a man flew out of it with a wail and landed at the feet of the two search officers.
It was a man in a white coat and a stethoscope, no matter how you looked at it, he was just an ordinary doctor, and if he passed by on the street, I am afraid that no one would think that he was a man-eating monster.
However, it was not him who was the target of Mato and Amen.
"Looks like we're not waiting in vain, Amen-kun."
The real investigator looked up and stared at the hole in front of him, only to see a tall man with blond hair and a strong body in a white suit stepped out of it.
"Jason ..............."
The Mado Investigator stared at the man in front of him and muttered to himself, and then the box in his hand opened, revealing a strange, sword-like objectβββ which was Mato's weapon, a weapon made by Katsuko for ghouls.
"Let's see what the big guys in District 13 are capable of!"
The next moment, Mado and Amen raised their weapons and rushed towards the man in front of them.
Mato and Amen are both quite good investigators.
This point, Duanmu Huai and Mary have discovered in the process of getting along with them, at least in the face of ordinary ghouls, they can easily crusade. Although they are not as good as ghouls in terms of body and reflexes, they are still able to compete with ghouls with the help of their special weapons and experience.
But the big guy in front of him is obviously of a different level.
Under the combined attack of Mato and Amen, he was still able to put his hands in his pockets and dodge with ease, looking like "I don't know what an opponent is".
In the final analysis, Yamen is still inexperienced, and after a moment of circulation, he was kicked away by the other party, and Mado continued to fight with the man in front of him, but soon he also swung his sword in the air, only to see that taking advantage of this opportunity, the ghoul also sneered and pounced towards Mato.
However, just as the ghoul pounced on Mato, he saw that the sword in Mato's hand suddenly split, and then restrained it like a shot, and then suddenly closed!
Got it!
Seeing this scene, the real household investigator was also secretly happy in his heart, but βββ thing was completely beyond his expectations.
Just as the split blades closed again, about to tear the man in front of him to pieces, a strange wing-like existence suddenly appeared behind the man, and they turned into shields to resist the blades that tried to lock. It then βββ completely shattered.
"βββ!Uhh
The next moment, the real inquisitor also flew upside down and landed heavily on the ground. Looking at the two investigators lying on the ground, the ghoul smiled smugly.
"But that's it, it's time, so ..............."
As he spoke, the ghoul glanced around, but when he saw Mary standing not far away, the ghoul's eyes widened.
"What is this......... This taste............... Why does it smell so tempting?! β
As he spoke, the ghoul opened his mouth as if he had seen something delicious, and he couldn't help but drool.
"Woo βββββ!"
When she noticed the other party's gaze that seemed to be licking her up and down, Mary couldn't help but tremble, and hurriedly took a step back, while Duanmu Huai whistled.
"Oh, by the way, I forgot, for the monsters of this world, you are no different from Tang Seng meat."
"You're my !!"
Before he could finish speaking, the ghoul suddenly flashed and pounced directly in front of Mary, he opened his hands, and the four tentacle-like wings behind him also spread.
"Let me enjoy your taste! Woman! β
However, at the moment when the ghoul opened his mouth and tried to bite Mary, Duanmu Huai punched out and directly knocked it out.
"Your opponent is me, lowly bastard."
Looking at the hunky ghoul who had fallen to the ground, Duanmu Huai waved his hand and clenched his fists, and Mary hurriedly retreated behind him. It's not that Mary can't beat the big guy in front of her, but his eyes are so disgusting, just by looking at him, he feels like his eyes have become a tongue and can't stop licking his skinβββ this feeling is unbearable for any girl.
Not to mention that the other party really wants to eat her.
Well, literally.
That's even worse.
"Who are you?"
At this moment, the big ghoul also stood up and glared at Duanmu Huai viciously.
"I'm not interested in a disgusting and unpalatable guy like you, get out of here!"
With the ghoul's roar, I saw that the four tentacles behind him that seemed to be wings extended again, stabbing directly at Duanmu Huai's body. Seeing this scene, even the real to the investigator and the Yamen investigator were solemn, they knew how powerful this thing was, you must know that even if they were not wearing special armor, being hit by an S-class ghoul like this was enough to completely penetrate the body, and even be torn to pieces!
Howeverβββ next in front of them, an unimaginable scene happened.
I saw a powerful tentacle sticking out from behind the ghoul, enough to split the concrete in two, just stopped in front of Duanmu Huai's clothes, as if hitting a heavy city wall, and it was completely impossible to move forward.
At the same time, a voice rang out.
"Who do you say is disgusting and unpalatable?"
Duanmu Huai raised his head, his face was cold, and he stretched out his hand and directly grabbed the four tentacles that stabbed himβββ the sharp edge didn't even scratch the skin of Duanmu Huai's hands, so he grabbed it in his hands!
"Do you think you're good to see where to go? You low, ugly bastard! β
The next moment, with Duanmu Huai's roar, the muscles of his hands bulged, and he suddenly pulled back hard, directly pulling the ghoul in front of him into the air. I saw Duanmu Huai grasp the tentacle and shake it hard. The ghoul spun around like a yo-yo thrown by a grab, and flew towards Duanmu Huai.
"You're ............!!"
Obviously, this scene was completely unexpected by the ghoul, he had no idea that this man, who had no Katsuko weapon and looked like an ordinary human, would actually have a powerful power far beyond himself!
"Die! Cheap Breed!! β
Duanmu Huai clenched his right fist and punched the ghoul's cheek, accompanied by a crisp fracture sound, the entire skull of the ghoul's head was directly smashed into pieces under Duanmu Huai's blow, his face was quickly distorted and deformed, the skin and flesh were torn, and in the blink of an eye, his head turned into a sunken watermelon that seemed to rot.
But that's clearly not the end of the story.
"It's up to you?!"
Duanmu Huai threw out another punch, directly smashing the ghoul to the ground. Then he stepped on the other person's body and lifted it with both hands!
"Just you, a man-eating monster? Dare to speak to me?! β
Duanmu Huai roared angrily and lifted his hands vigorously, only to see that he pulled out the four tentacles behind the ghoul from his spine like this, as if he was grabbing a leaf from the ground and pulling it out together!
"Ahhhh!!!h
For ghouls, their Hezi and tentacles are their roots, and Duanmu Huai's blow is directly like tearing out their hearts, even the terrifying S-class ghoul is letting out an irrepressible scream at this moment. However, Duanmu Huai turned a deaf ear, he threw away the soft tentacles in his hand, and then stretched out his right hand, directly reaching out to the back of the ghoul, the fingers like iron pincers tore the skin and muscles that the ghoul could not even be penetrated by bullets, and went deep inside, grabbed his spine, and then, Duanmu Huai pulled hardβββββ!! The white vertebrae were pulled out of the ghoul's body by him!
"Die! Cheap crumbs! β
Then, Duanmu Huai lifted the vertebrae that still had flesh and blood remaining, looked coldly at the piece of flesh wailing at his feet, and stabbed it hard at its head!
"Bang!!"
The vertebrae pierced the ghoul's head and went deep into the ground, pinning it to the ground, and at that moment, the ghoul's wail was interrupted and turned into a silent corpse.
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
Seeing this scene, everyone involuntarily swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
At this moment, they didn't dare to say anything.
