Ghoul or human?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amon Kōtarō gripped his Quinque tightly, watching Su Xiao warily; Su Xiao’s earlier pursuit of the One-Eyed King, Kōzuki Izumi, had deeply unsettled this First-Class Investigator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Have you ever seen a ghoul fight with a blade?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao placed one hand on the hilt of his sword and continued walking toward Amon Kōtarō.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amon Kōtarō opened his mouth to speak, but Su Xiao spoke first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t be nervous—if I wanted you dead, you’d already be dead.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flash of white light—[Dragon-Slicing Flash] unsheathed and rested against Amon Kōtarō’s neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gulp.” Amon Kōtarō swallowed hard, disbelieving—Su Xiao’s draw speed was impossibly fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, no need to be nervous.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao sheathed [Dragon-Slicing Flash] and patted Amon Kōtarō on the shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amon Kōtarō felt overwhelming defeat—if Su Xiao were a ghoul, his head would already be off his shoulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?” Amon Kōtarō looked at Su Xiao, puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Does CCG need more people? That ghoul lying over there can be your introduction gift.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did Amon Kōtarō notice the headless corpse of the Wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is… S-class ghoul Jason?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amon Kōtarō gripped his Quinque and sprinted forward several steps—the Wall’s file name in CCG records was Jason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You haven’t answered my question.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao pulled out medical bandages from his storage space, wiped the blood from his abdominal wound, and hastily wrapped it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amon Kōtarō hesitated, but knew this was an opportunity—Su Xiao had hunted down the One-Eyed King, Xiao, proving his strength beyond doubt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No more than two people in CCG could accomplish this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Joining CCG requires strict evaluation, but your situation is unusual—if you prove you’re not a ghoul, joining should be no problem.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon receiving a clear answer, Su Xiao smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His greatest fear was that joining CCG would be too complicated—he didn’t have much time left for his main quest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tap, tap, tap…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rapid footsteps approached as an elderly man with shoulder-length white hair and a briefcase ran into the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man not only had white hair but also mismatched eyes—one large, one small—and moved with a nervous, twitching gait, giving off a sickly aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where is he? He must be here. Xiao.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The newcomer was Amon Kōtarō’s superior, Senior Investigator Shinji Wu Xu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shinji Wu Xu had once been a righteous ghoul investigator—gentle and kind—but his wife was killed by a ghoul, and he witnessed firsthand as the ghoul devoured her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, Shinji Wu Xu’s personality changed drastically—he developed extreme hatred toward ghouls and became obsessed with crafting Quinque.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, he treated fellow investigators fairly, as shown by his earnest mentoring of Amon Kōtarō.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Shinji, you’re here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amon Kōtarō stepped forward and whispered something to Shinji Wu Xu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, Shinji Wu Xu’s mismatched eyes suddenly widened in disbelief as he stared at Su Xiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shinji Wu Xu leapt forward several steps with surprising agility, then circled Su Xiao like a canine, sniffing him intently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Human. No mistake. That stench of beasts—I’ll never forget it, even in death.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After confirming Su Xiao was human, Shinji Wu Xu became extremely enthusiastic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hello, I’m Shinji Wu Xu. You really fought the One-Eyed King, Xiao?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fire burned in Shinji Wu Xu’s eyes, brimming with anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Shinji Wu Xu’s gaze, Su Xiao sighed—it was such a familiar look. He had once worn it himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hatred. Hatred that erased everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, we fought. The terrain was unfavorable—he escaped. A pity.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahahaha.” A distorted, manic laugh echoed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You want to join CCG? Come with me—I’ll vouch for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Shinji Wu Xu no longer cared about Su Xiao’s origins or identity—so long as he could kill the One-Eyed King, Xiao, he would sacrifice anything, even his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Shinji, calm down.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amon Kōtarō placed his hand on Shinji Wu Xu’s shoulder; Shinji Wu Xu took a few deep breaths and nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“May I ask your name?” Amon Kōtarō said, then smiled at Su Xiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bai Ye.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your background?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao’s silence left Amon Kōtarō helplessly exasperated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How about this, Mr. Bai Ye—you were injured in combat against a ghoul. There’s a medical vehicle downstairs. As for joining CCG, let’s discuss details at our 20th District branch.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao paused, then nodded and followed Amon Kōtarō downstairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shinji Wu Xu had already spotted the Wall’s corpse, hoisted it onto his shoulder, and descended with the two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Below the building, over a dozen vehicles were parked, sirens wailing, red and blue lights flashing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CCG likely received a civilian report of ghoul activity here, so they dispatched two ghoul investigators; the police present were only there to evacuate nearby civilians—they had no combat capability against ghouls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind a medical vehicle, Su Xiao sat bare-chested on a makeshift gurney, while a beautiful young nurse focused intently on treating his wound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Um…” the nurse’s timid voice came. Su Xiao glanced over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The wound is too deep—use a small amount of anesthetic, otherwise…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No. Anesthetic slows my neural reflexes. Just stitch it directly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The nurse hesitated, then nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the nurse was as beautiful as a flower, her voice timid, looking utterly vulnerable, her hands were merciless—Su Xiao’s twitching face proved it.\u003C\u002Fp>",1141,"2026-06-19T23:49:42.795Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","932e26a31b8bc9de9013e0ebf807f37bae8dccfffe0f7ddb9eb6ae27b433f891","paradise-of-reincarnation-chapter-40","paradise-of-reincarnation-chapter-38",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fparadise-of-reincarnation-cover.jpg"]
