Chapter 43: Open High School Girl

~8 min read 1,438 words

"Hey, hey, everyone is a colleague, we must get along peacefully. Juuzou, you can't greet colleagues like this."

Kisho Arima blocked between the two and began to instill basic common sense into Juuzou Suzuya.

For someone who doesn't even have basic common sense, Su Xiao certainly won't get angry.

However, he must clean up this little rabbit when he has a chance in the future.

"Is that so~, it turns out to be like this, sorry~."

Juuzou Suzuya laughed, actually apologizing to Su Xiao sincerely. What a contradictory personality.

"Mr. Kisho Arima, is the test over?"

Kisho Arima exercised his still-numb arms and nodded.

"It's over. You are now officially a CCG Ghoul investigator."

Kisho Arima's expression became serious.

"Becoming a Ghoul investigator is a responsibility. Protecting ordinary people and exterminating those man-eating Ghouls is our primary duty. For this, we may have sacrifices, but we will not hesitate..."

The impassioned speech began. Although Su Xiao found it boring, he didn't show any impatience.

"That's it. If you are mentally prepared, you can perform missions now. However, Third Class Investigators cannot act alone and need to be under the protection of a First Class Investigator..."

Su Xiao coughed lightly.

"Mr. Kisho Arima, who do you think can protect me?"

Kisho Arima smiled brightly and shook his head.

"This~, the rules are like this."

"I can do it alone. It's nothing more than exterminating Ghouls. As long as the goal is achieved, the process is not important."

After hesitating for a long time, Kisho Arima nodded. Su Xiao indeed didn't need the protection of a First Class Investigator. Su Xiao protecting a First Class Investigator was more like it.

"Since that's the case, then I'll give you a clue about Ghouls now."

Kisho Arima walked to the desk and handed Su Xiao a file.

Su Xiao checked the content on it. The content was very trivial: strange sounds coming from the sewer, underwear being burned while drying, missing female students in the suburbs, and so on.

"This is our daily work. Ghouls are very cunning, especially in the 14th ward, which is not stable but not chaotic."

Wanting to exterminate Ghouls is not a simple matter.

Most Ghouls in the 14th ward hide among ordinary people. Except for revealing their true forms when hunting, they hide at other times.

Ghouls only need to hunt once or twice a month to maintain what the body needs. To exterminate these Ghouls, the most important thing to do is to find them.

For Su Xiao, the difficulty of exterminating Ghouls is mostly in searching. After finding them, things become simple.

"The information in your hand now should all be about the traces of a Ghoul. Find him, exterminate him."

Kisho Arima's expression was solemn, and killing intent flashed in his eyes.

"No problem."

Su Xiao turned and was about to leave the office. Although time was abundant, he couldn't waste it.

"Bai Ye, remember to go to the logistics department to collect tools. Those tools are very useful."

Su Xiao paused his footsteps, nodded, and left.

"Another cold colleague came. Hey, it's really a headache."

Kisho Arima sat behind the desk, pressing his forehead lightly, and after looking up and seeing Juuzou Suzuya giggling, Kisho had an even bigger headache.

Su Xiao first came to the logistics department. After showing his ID, he collected many tools.

An hour later, Su Xiao arrived at a park alone and squatted on a park bench by the roadside.

The park was filled with green trees. The breeze blew, making the leaves rustle. The noon sun was roasting the earth, and summer cicadas were chirping on the tree trunks.

Because of the hot weather, there were few people in the park. Fortunately, Su Xiao sat in the shade of the trees, which was still cool.

The information given by Kisho Arima was not detailed, but there was a rough target. In the past six months, more than a dozen missing cases had occurred in this park.

The CCG has a clear division of labor. Ordinary investigators are responsible for finding clues. The combat power of those people is not strong.

When the clues are relatively clear and there is a possibility of encountering Ghouls, the First Class Investigator will take his subordinates to search in person to avoid unnecessary casualties of ordinary investigators.

But even so, 5 ordinary investigators have disappeared in this park.

Kisho Arima was preparing to go out before, just to patrol this park.

Su Xiao paid attention to the passing pedestrians, but there was no harvest for a long time, but he was not in a hurry.

According to the information given by Kisho Arima, no missing cases have occurred in this park for two Sundays.

That Ghoul will appear soon because this is that Ghoul's hunting ground.

Some actions of Ghouls are similar to wild beasts, such as dividing territory (hunting ground). Because of fighting for territory, two Ghouls may also fight.

In less than three days, this Ghoul will appear, and this Ghoul may not be low-level, definitely not a weak chicken below A-class.

The death of most Ghouls is because they cannot control their appetite and are eventually discovered by investigators.

Success is inseparable from patience. Su Xiao sat on the park bench and waited silently.

Time slipped away in an instant, and it was past three o'clock in the afternoon.

A soothing music sound came from afar.

"School?"

Su Xiao looked at a building in the distance. Half an hour later, the pedestrians in the park gradually increased, all of them high school students who had just finished school.

Ghouls mostly hunt at night, so Su Xiao prepared to spend the night here.

"Brother, why are you sitting here alone? Very lonely, right?"

A high school girl wearing a school uniform sat beside Su Xiao. The high school girl was wearing a cool top, a black short skirt, and black long stockings, revealing slender legs.

Su Xiao was stunned. Could it be that he had encountered a legendary "suburban female student"? This was unexpectedly open-minded.

"..."

Silence.

"Che~, what a boring guy."

Finding that Su Xiao didn't ignore her, the high school girl got up and walked away.

Night fell, and the park streetlights lit up.

Su Xiao had been squatting for an afternoon, and it was inevitable that he was hungry. Just as he was about to get up to eat dinner, he suddenly heard a short scream.

The scream was very short, just for a moment, but it was captured keenly by him.

Su Xiao got up immediately and ran toward the source of the sound quickly. The sound came from a corner of the park, not far from him.

After arriving at the position of the sound, Su Xiao scanned the surroundings, but there was nothing. There was no one around, not even a ghost shadow.

He definitely wouldn't have misheard the scream before, so something must have happened here.

After careful inspection, Su Xiao found a few drops of blood on the edge of a flower bed, as well as half a broken fingernail.

Dipping some blood with his finger, the blood had cooled down but had not coagulated, indicating that the blood was very fresh.

"Kachi, kachi~."

The sound of tearing flesh and skin came from the forest not far away. Su Xiao entered the forest quietly, and a cruel scene came into view.

A victim whose appearance could not be seen was lying on the ground, and a Ghoul was gnawing above.

Finding a Ghoul should have been a good thing, but Su Xiao frowned.

The Ghoul in front of him was not strong, only about B-class, and this barbaric hunting method was unlikely to escape the investigation of ordinary investigators.

From the way this Ghoul was devouring wildly, Su Xiao guessed the general situation.

This might not be this Ghoul's hunting ground, but this Ghoul was too hungry and could only choose to take a risk.

"Wild dog, who allowed you to hunt in my hunting ground? Want to die?"

A crisp female voice came from the woods. At the same time, a very thin Kagune swung toward the Ghoul who was eating.

"Puchi."

The head flew up. Before the Ghoul who was eating could speak, he was beheaded, his face full of fear.

The owner of the Kagune walked out from between the trees. After seeing the other party's appearance, Su Xiao was somewhat surprised. The other party was actually the high school girl he saw during the day.

She is actually a Ghoul.
