Chapter 39: Beautiful as a Flower, Ruthless as a Wolf
After all members of Aogiri Tree retreated, the battle also subsided.
Su Xiao sheathed 【Checking Zhan Long Shan】 and picked up the coat on the ground, draping it over his shoulder.
Just now, fighting with Eto Yoshimura, he lost a total of 12% of his life value. Because the wound on his lower abdomen was still bleeding, his life value was still slowly decreasing.
Su Xiao also noted Eto Yoshimura's health bar. His previous two slashes probably made Eto Yoshimura lose more than 10% of her life value.
It has to be said that the Ghoul's vitality is indeed astonishing. In Kakuja form, Eto Yoshimura's physical strength attribute is at least above 15 points.
If comparing various attributes, Eto Yoshimura must be stronger than Su Xiao, but if talking about combat power, it is somewhat difficult to compare the two.
In Su Xiao's view, Eto Yoshimura's combat experience is considered rich, but her combat skills are unbearable to look at, basically relying on brute force.
This is also why he could beat an S-class Ghoul up. Ghouls just rush forward blindly when fighting, and then use brute force to defeat the enemy.
Otherwise, those investigators of the CCG would not be the Ghouls' opponents at all.
The CCG's investigators are just ordinary people with excellent physical fitness. They fight Ghouls by relying on skills and wisdom. Of course, there are exceptions.
The appearance of Kotaro Amon means that this place has been surrounded by CCG people. This is undoubtedly a good opportunity to join the CCG.
After sheathing 【Checking Zhan Long Shan】, Su Xiao walked slowly toward Kotaro Amon.
"Stop."
Kotaro Amon shouted, and simultaneously pressed the button on the handle of the suitcase. The suitcase underwent a huge change, and some object inside was expanding rapidly.
The suitcase landed, and Kotaro Amon had a strangely shaped weapon in his hand.
A metal long stick, with a circle of Kagune wrapped around the upper half of the long stick. This is Kotaro Amon's Quinque.
This strangely shaped Quinque made Su Xiao marvel. Can one really fight with this weapon?
"Who are you? Ghoul? Human?"
Kotaro Amon gripped the Quinque tightly with both hands, looking at Su Xiao vigilantly. The scene of Su Xiao chasing and killing the One-Eyed King Eto Yoshimura before stimulated this First Class Investigator.
"Have you ever seen a Ghoul who fights with a sword?"
Su Xiao pressed one hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist and continued to walk toward Kotaro Amon.
Kotaro Amon just wanted to speak, but Su Xiao spoke first.
"Don't be nervous. If I wanted to kill you, you would already be dead."
A white light flashed, 【Checking Zhan Long Shan】 unsheathed, directly resting on Kotaro Amon's neck.
"Gulu~." Kotaro Amon swallowed his saliva, somewhat unable to believe it. Su Xiao's sword-drawing speed was really too fast.
"So, don't be nervous."
Putting away 【Checking Zhan Long Shan】, Su Xiao patted Kotaro Amon on the shoulder.
A huge sense of frustration surged in Kotaro Amon's heart. If the other party was a Ghoul, his head would have already fallen to the ground.
"Hey."
"What?" Kotaro Amon looked at Su Xiao in confusion.
"Is your CCG still short of people? The Ghoul lying over there can be considered a meeting gift for joining the CCG."
Only then did Kotaro Amon notice Gecko's headless corpse.
"This is~, S-class Ghoul Jason?"
Kotaro Amon held the Quinque and ran to Gecko's side in a few steps. Gecko is named Jason in the CCG's files.
"You haven't answered my question yet."
Su Xiao took out some medical bandages from the storage space, wiped the blood from the wound on his abdomen, and bandaged the wound messily.
Kotaro Amon hesitated, but he knew in his heart that this was an opportunity. Su Xiao could chase and kill the One-Eyed King Owl; his strength was undoubtedly powerful.
In the CCG, there are definitely no more than two people who can do this.
"Joining the CCG requires a strict assessment, but your situation is somewhat special. As long as it is verified that you are not a Ghoul, joining the CCG should be no problem."
Getting a clear answer, a smile appeared on Su Xiao's face.
The thing he feared most was that joining the CCG would be too troublesome. The time for his main mission was not abundant.
"Da, da, da..."
Urgent footsteps came, and an old man with white hair reaching his shoulders and carrying a suitcase ran into the room.
The old man not only had white hair but also had one eye bigger than the other, and his movements were somewhat neurotic, giving people a sickly feeling.
"Where is it? It must be here, Owl."
The person who came was Kotaro Amon's superior, Special Class Investigator Kureo Mado.
Kureo Mado was originally a Ghoul investigator with a sense of justice, gentle and kind, but because his wife died at the hands of a Ghoul, and he witnessed his wife's face being gnawed with his own eyes.
After that, Kureo Mado's temperament changed greatly, hating Ghouls extremely, and was obsessed with making Quinque.
But even so, Kureo Mado was considered not bad to his fellow investigators, which can be seen from his serious teaching of Kotaro Amon.
"Mr. Mado, you're here."
Kotaro Amon greeted him and whispered something to Kureo Mado.
After a while, Kureo Mado's eyes, which were one big and one small, suddenly widened, staring at Su Xiao in disbelief.
Kureo Mado rushed to Su Xiao in a few steps, his movements very agile, and then sniffed something around Su Xiao like a canine animal.
"Human, it can't be wrong. The smell of those beasts, I won't forget it until I die."
After confirming that Su Xiao was a human, Kureo Mado became very enthusiastic.
"Hello, I am Kureo Mado. Did you really fight with the One-Eyed Owl?"
There seemed to be flames burning in Kureo Mado's eyes, full of anticipation.
Seeing Kureo Mado's gaze, Su Xiao sighed. This is such a familiar gaze; he once had this gaze too.
Hatred, hatred that obliterates everything.
"Ah, we fought. The terrain was somewhat unfavorable, and that guy escaped. Pity."
"Hahaha." A neurotic laughter that was both sickly and neurotic came.
"You want to join the CCG? Come with me, I'll be your guarantor."
At this time, Kureo Mado no longer cared about Su Xiao's background or identity. As long as he could kill the One-Eyed King Owl, he could pay everything, including his life.
"Mr. Mado, calm down a bit."
Kotaro Amon pressed his hand on Kureo Mado's shoulder. Kureo Mado calmed his breathing for a while and nodded.
"May I ask what your name is?" After Kotaro Amon finished speaking, he also smiled at Su Xiao.
"Bai Ye."
"Background?"
"..."
Su Xiao's silence made Kotaro Amon somewhat helpless.
"How about this, Mr. Bai Ye, you were also injured in the battle before, and it was a battle with a Ghoul. There is our medical vehicle downstairs. As for joining the CCG, we will discuss it in detail at the branch in the 20th ward."
Su Xiao pondered for a while, finally nodded, and followed Kotaro Amon downstairs.
Kureo Mado had long discovered Gecko's corpse, carried Gecko's corpse, and went downstairs with the two.
At this time, downstairs of the building, more than a dozen cars were parked, sirens were sounding, and red and blue police lights were flashing.
The CCG might have received a report from the public that there were Ghouls here, so they dispatched two Ghoul investigators. As for the police on the scene, they were only responsible for evacuating nearby civilians. In front of Ghouls, these police had no combat ability.
Behind a medical vehicle, Su Xiao sat on a simple hospital bed shirtless, and a beautiful little nurse was concentrating on treating his wound.
"That~," the little nurse's timid voice came, and Su Xiao looked sideways.
"The wound is too deep, it's better to use a small amount of anesthetic, otherwise..."
"No need, anesthetic will affect my nerve reflex speed, just stitch it up directly."
The little nurse hesitated for a while, and finally nodded.
Although this little nurse was beautiful as a flower and her voice was timid, looking like she was easily pushed down, she was extremely ruthless in her actions, which could be seen from Su Xiao's face that twitched from time to time. ===== CHAPTER 40 =====
