Now just withdraw from the Ghoul Containment Facility—Takatsuki Izumi knows where to regroup.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hanging up, Su Xiao looked at Takatsuki Izumi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Done. Let’s go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Su Xiao leapt onto Takatsuki Izumi’s back—her Kakuja form was massive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This had been pre-planned: after completing the mission, Takatsuki Izumi would breach the roof gate of the Ghoul Containment Facility, allowing them to escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now Arima Maegi and the others were missing, but there must be a way out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t press your blade against my back—I hate that sword.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao said nothing, only crouched halfway on her back, one hand gripping a protruding Kakuja appendage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph. Don’t blame me if you fall off.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Takatsuki Izumi curled her legs and leapt with all her strength, like a cannonball fired from its barrel, hurtling straight toward the roof of the Ghoul Containment Facility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The interior of the facility was not low-ceilinged, yet Takatsuki Izumi managed to leap up, her claws embedding into the metal roof gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she strained, the half-meter-thick massive gate tore open, and Su Xiao saw blue sky and white clouds above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao stepped on Takatsuki Izumi’s back with one foot and her head with the other, leaping twice through the gate and out of the Ghoul Containment Facility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This act enraged Takatsuki Izumi immensely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she had no choice—she was bracing the gate; if she let go, it would slam shut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Clang… clang…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few sharp sounds, Takatsuki Izumi clearly felt the closing force vanish; she flipped out through the gate and landed on the roof.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the roof, Takatsuki Izumi saw Su Xiao standing before a jagged hole—formed by dozens of slashes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the one-meter-wide hole were several severed hydraulic rods—the roof gate’s power system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Takatsuki Izumi looked at Su Xiao with wariness; carving such a massive hole through pure metal exceeded human capability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao’s swordsmanship had subtly reached the transcendent level—transcendent meaning beyond what any ordinary human could achieve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, he recently felt his perception of his blade growing sharper; he could glance at any object and roughly judge whether it could be cut or not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes, when the wind brushed against the edge of Zhanlong Shan, Su Xiao could faintly sense it—this must be what Kōshirō meant by the blade becoming an extension of the arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sheathing Zhanlong Shan, Su Xiao said to Takatsuki Izumi:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where’s the rendezvous point?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“At my new base.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bronze Tree’s new base?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the end, Takatsuki Izumi was grinding her teeth—her previous Bronze Tree base had been destroyed by Su Xiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once enemies, now allies—the world is indeed strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Children care about right and wrong; adults weigh only advantage and loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fools judge good and evil; the wise create rules—within the rules is good, outside them is evil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, Su Xiao and Takatsuki Izumi were both rule-breakers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rules are established by the powerful to control others; most rules benefit those who make them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two on the roof stopped discussing the “history” of Bronze Tree’s bases—further talk might lead to a fight to the death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After breaking through the investigators’ defense network, Su Xiao and Takatsuki Izumi walked away without looking back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the CCG headquarters command center, Washinoki Jishi stared grimly at the large monitor, where the backs of Su Xiao and Takatsuki Izumi were visible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Washinoki Jishi clenched his fist until his knuckles cracked, his pupils faintly turning blood-red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Arima Maegi, Hakuya, Arito Hoshin, Donato Pupula—you four bastards…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Washinoki Jishi’s temples bulged with veins; their alliance posed a serious threat to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arima Maegi’s strength was unquestionable—the strongest openly recognized CCG fighter. Su Xiao, as a pure human who could repel the Storekeeper head-on, was equally formidable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Takatsuki Izumi was an SSS-ranked ghoul and the Storekeeper’s bloodline descendant—this made Washinoki Jishi deeply wary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Donato Pupula, Washinoki Jishi was even more troubled; the priest was planning something unknown and held a secret leverage over the CCG. Though imprisoned, they dared not harm him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they killed the priest, the information he held would be exposed—within ten years, a resistance movement would emerge among humans, and the ghouls would be finished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to humans, ghouls were closer to beasts: keen sense of smell, easily impulsive, and abysmally poor at science.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Humans were different—they could invent weapons to exterminate ghouls. They were merely deceived by ghouls and lacked the will to resist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Excluding their tendency toward infighting, humans were truly powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Tokyo, Ward 13, Shibuya, inside an abandoned construction site.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the tenth floor, in a room sheltered from wind and rain, five people gathered; outside, a large group of figures in red robes stood guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These robed figures were ordinary Bronze Tree ghouls, who kept glancing toward the room—upon seeing the two inside, they grew uneasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s going on? These people are all so strong.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A young girl with short white hair hid by the door, secretly observing the five inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sister, don’t be reckless. Knowing too much isn’t good.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A girl with short black hair pulled her sister away—the twin sisters had one black and one white hair, otherwise nearly identical: Anji Kuroi and Anji Naihaku.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then from this moment on, we are allies. Do any of you have demands?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arima Maegi’s voice echoed in the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside, Su Xiao tapped the table, looking around at the others seated at the round table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The five allies, besides himself, were: Arima Maegi, Takatsuki Izumi, the Priest, and Kirishima Arata!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kirishima Arata was the father of Kirishima Kyouka and Kirishima Touka. The original lore claimed he was dead—but he was not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kirishima Arata had been captured alive and imprisoned in the Ghoul Containment Facility; the material for the Quinque “Arata” was harvested from his body, and the Quinque was named after him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kirishima Arata had a unique physiology; the mad scientists did not fully remove his Kakuhou, but instead cut it open inside his body, then injected him with high-concentration RC cells to stimulate regrowth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the material for Quinque “Arata” became inexhaustible, enabling mass production.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kirishima Arata was a sunny, warm-hearted man with blue hair and handsome features—evident from Kyouka and Touka’s appearances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He radiated a comforting warmth, kind and gentle, yet his strength was no joke—his value was high enough for the CCG to invest heavily in experiments on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Arima saved my life—I’ll help without hesitation. I have no demands.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kirishima Arata spoke first, his face still lit with a gentle smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have no demands either. My thoughts align with Arima’s—defeating the V Organization is my goal too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Takatsuki Izumi declared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah, it’s been so long since I tasted fresh human flesh—I lost composure. I have no demands either. After all, you rescued me; gratitude is mandatory for a Catholic believer.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Priest wiped blood from his lips; before him sat a plate with traces of blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Catholic Church saves lost sheep; Donato Pupula, as a priest, was meant to be the shepherd—but this shepherd had a taste for the sheep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All eyes turned to Su Xiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heh~… what a group of ‘selfless’ ‘good people.’ Arima, I’ve suddenly lost interest in that SSS Quinque ‘Strix’ you mentioned.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao spoke; Arima Maegi and Takatsuki Izumi frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then what’s your demand?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have some ‘enemies’—they’re members of Bronze Tree, but their origins are… unusual…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing Su Xiao’s demand, all eyes turned to Takatsuki Izumi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Those guys~?” Takatsuki Izumi hesitated briefly, then answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No problem.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1370,"2026-06-19T23:49:42.795Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","080757b3de377d4142b214d6a3ce778201270dc1a4d3c8c8553aff0f6111d294","paradise-of-reincarnation-chapter-120","paradise-of-reincarnation-chapter-118",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fparadise-of-reincarnation-cover.jpg"]
