Chapter 115

Inside the central city of the 24th Ward.

Juuzou Suzuya blocked in front of Akira Mado. Akira Mado's arm hung limply; she was not lightly injured.

Not far from the two, Noro, Tatara, and Ayato Kirishima were watching them covetously.

"What on earth is Special Class Arima doing, suddenly abandoning the enemy during the fight?"

Akira Mado scanned the enemies in front of her, feeling some despair in her heart. If it weren't for Juuzou Suzuya's greatly increased combat power after putting on 'Arata', the two of them would have already died in battle.

"Although I don't know what happened, you two are dead for sure."

Tatara looked at the two coldly, killing intent boiling in his eyes.

"Hurry up and finish them off; I can't hold on much longer."

Ayato Kirishima squatted on the ground, spitting out a large mouthful of blood from time to time. Although he had only fought Kishou Arima for a short time, he was almost killed.

"Noro, surround them."

Just as Tatara was about to kill the two and go to support Eto Yoshimura, three people walked out from the entrance of the central city.

"This is impossible."

Tatara looked at one of the three who was bound in disbelief.

It was Su Xiao and Kishou Arima escorting Eto Yoshimura out of the passage.

"Save her."

Noro, who was sparing with words, spoke rarely. Ignoring Su Xiao and Kishou Arima, he was about to rush up directly. It seemed Noro cared about Eto Yoshimura very much; after all, he watched Eto Yoshimura grow up.

Su Xiao held Zhan Long Shan and blocked in front of Eto Yoshimura.

"Come any closer and I'll cut off your head."

He wasn't joking. If Noro dared to attack him, he would definitely not show mercy.

Eto Yoshimura, who had already been tied up, was startled. Looking at Su Xiao's back, she had mixed feelings. What happened to the promised cooperation?

"Tell your subordinates to retreat, otherwise Bai Ye will really kill."

Kishou Arima whispered in Eto Yoshimura's ear.

Eto Yoshimura was speechless, and at the same time, her impression of Su Xiao was refreshed again. This guy didn't just look murderous.

"Noro, Tatara, Ayato, you three retreat first. Go find Izou and have him find a way to save me."

Noro's rushing footsteps stopped, and he looked at Eto Yoshimura in confusion. He had never heard of who Izou was.

Tatara on the side also didn't know there was someone named Izou, his thoughts turning rapidly.

As the strategist of Aogiri Tree, Tatara vaguely thought of a possibility.

"Noro, we retreat. Go find Izou."

Noro still didn't understand what had happened.

"Hurry up, Noro. Do you want to die for nothing?"

Eto Yoshimura shouted, and at the same time, gave Noro a subtle wink.

At this time, even if Noro was stupid, he understood that something was wrong. After grabbing Ayato Kirishima with his Kagune, he retreated with Tatara into the depths of the central city.

Ayato Kirishima, who was grabbed, was completely confused, not knowing what the situation was at all.

"Tatara, who is this woman?"

Ayato Kirishima looked at Eto Yoshimura in confusion.

"She is our leader. I'll tell you later."

Soon, the three disappeared into the depths of the central city. The central city was actually Aogiri Tree's old lair, and the three were very familiar with this place.

The enemies retreated, and Akira Mado breathed a sigh of relief.

"Associate Special Class Bai Ye, who is this woman? She seems to have a very high status in Aogiri Tree."

Su Xiao didn't respond to Akira Mado. This was a troublesome matter.

Eto Yoshimura's father killed Akira Mado's mother, but in the CCG, only a very small number of people knew that the 'Non-Killing Owl' and the 'One-Eyed Owl' were two ghouls; most thought there was only one Owl.

The Non-Killing Owl was the manager, and the One-Eyed Owl was the manager's daughter, Eto Yoshimura.

The one who killed Akira Mado's mother was the manager, but if he said that Eto Yoshimura was the Owl, Akira Mado would definitely rush up regardless of everything and find a way to kill Eto Yoshimura.

"This woman is the leader of Aogiri Tree."

Kishou Arima answered casually. Paper couldn't wrap fire; Akira Mado would notice sooner or later. The attitude of Tatara and the others before was already very obvious, and Mado actually vaguely guessed it.

"The leader of Aogiri Tree?"

Akira Mado looked at Eto Yoshimura blankly.

"That means, she is the One, Eyed, Owl!"

Akira Mado gritted her teeth, her beautiful face somewhat distorted.

"Ah, she is the One-Eyed Owl. Bai Ye, this is your subordinate; you handle it."

Kishou Arima's expression was indifferent. After causing trouble, he threw it directly to Su Xiao.

"I want to, kill you!"

Akira Mado shouted, holding her Quinque and rushing toward Eto Yoshimura.

"Hey, hey, is this woman crazy?"

Eto Yoshimura's upper body was wrapped in iron chains, and her wrists were wearing thick shackles. She could break free from these restraints, but if she did, her cover would be blown.

"Stand where you are!"

Su Xiao shouted, looking at Akira Mado expressionlessly.

"A living Owl is far more valuable than a dead one."

Hearing Su Xiao's words, Akira Mado's hand holding the Quinque trembled.

"She killed my mother; I must kill her!"

Akira Mado almost lost her mind.

"You can try, and see if you can kill her with me stopping you."

Akira Mado's face was full of pain.

"Are you going to stop me, Associate Special Class Bai Ye?"

"Ah."

If Akira Mado came out to stir things up now, Su Xiao would definitely not show mercy.

"Damn it! Damn it! Why would such a thing happen?"

Akira Mado threw the Quinque in her hand to the ground, knelt on the ground, her shoulders trembling non-stop.

With Su Xiao stopping her, she couldn't succeed, and Su Xiao's cold gaze made her feel like a stranger, as if she had never understood this man at all.

The conflict in the team was temporarily resolved. As long as they returned to the surface, Akira Mado would have no chance to come out and stir things up.

"Return to the surface; our mission is complete."

The four escorted Eto Yoshimura out of the central city. On the way back to the surface, Akira Mado kept staring at Eto Yoshimura.

Eto Yoshimura was very calm. With Su Xiao and Kishou Arima, Akira Mado couldn't hurt her.

Even if the two weren't there, Akira Mado had no possibility of killing her.

The journey was very smooth. The changes in the 24th Ward passage had stopped. Using a compass to identify the direction, the group soon walked out of the 24th Ward.

The broken metal door at the entrance appeared, and not long after walking, they saw many investigators guarding the entrance.

These investigators were all injured; it seemed they had been attacked by ghouls.

"This is?"

Seeing Su Xiao and the others, Take Hirako walked out of the crowd and quickly came to Su Xiao.

"Where is Special Class Iwao Kuroiwa? Did he get separated from you?"

Su Xiao didn't speak, just patted Take Hirako's shoulder; everything was understood without words.

"Is, is there still a chance to find the remains?"

Take Hirako's voice trembled slightly; he and Iwao Kuroiwa were partners who had cooperated for more than ten years.

"Maybe~, can't find them."

Iwao Kuroiwa was swallowed by the Blood Eye and had now been digested.

"Is that so?"

Take Hirako's voice was low, and he closed his eyes in pain.

"Then why did he die?"

"To cover us."

Although Iwao Kuroiwa's rear-guard action didn't play a role, it couldn't be denied that Iwao Kuroiwa was a heroic investigator.

"Give this thing to Special Class Iwao Kuroiwa's family."

Su Xiao took out a twisted and deformed Quinque; this was something he picked up on the way back.

There was only one correct route to walk out of the 24th Ward, so Su Xiao passed by the location where he encountered the Blood Eye on his way back.

Take Hirako gripped the blood-stained Quinque tightly and walked toward the surface without a word.
