The auction house and the Co-feeding Zone were both wiped out by the CCG. Those guys really asked for death.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How could you not have heard? Every ghoul in District 14 knows—CCG’s District 14 branch brought in a madman. That guy’s name is something like ‘White…’”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“His name is White Night. A friend of mine mentioned him—he used to operate in the Co-feeding Zone and saw the guy firsthand…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ghoul dressed like a student fell silent mid-sentence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several surrounding ghouls closed in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tell us, don’t stop halfway—what does this White Night madman actually look like? We’ll avoid him if we ever see him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The student ghoul slipped his hands into his pockets, smirking at the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ugh~ I’m starving. CCG’s crackdown has gotten worse lately—I haven’t eaten in half a month.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other ghouls exchanged glances, understanding the student ghoul’s meaning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Takagawa, you still have some ‘rations,’ right? Give him some.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why me? My ‘rations’ are for emergencies. And I don’t care what that White Night madman looks like.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ghouls’ curiosity ignited; their gazes turned hostile toward the student ghoul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You bastard~ are you going to talk or not?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve got Co-feeding habits too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The student ghoul was young and timid, showing signs of fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But surrendering now would be humiliating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m not telling you because I’m scared. We’re all ghouls—survival isn’t easy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding ghouls exchanged amused glances—they had no real fighting spirit either, just trying to intimidate the student.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Honma, we understand your position. Just tell us quickly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The student ghoul cleared his throat and began recounting what he knew; the others listened intently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the tall grass around the abandoned building, waist-high and thick, large shadows crept closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Team One, left flank. Team Two, right flank. Team Three, frontal assault. Team Four, seal off the rear major exit.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao crouched in the grass, advancing toward the abandoned building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This target involved many ghouls. Thermal detection confirmed at least 240 ghouls inside the building—possibly more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he charged in alone, he’d be overwhelmed. But with other investigators supporting him, things changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d lead the charge; the investigators would cover his back. After a bloody battle, they’d annihilate every ghoul here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Team One, ready.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Team Two, ready.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Team Three, ready.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Team Four, in position.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhanlong Flash appeared in Su Xiao’s hand; his fingertip tapped his Bluetooth earpiece.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Execute.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At Su Xiao’s command, Teams One, Two, and Three raised their grenade launchers simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bang, bang, bang…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dozens of iron canisters resembling tear gas grenades were fired into the abandoned building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, Su Xiao planned to use high-explosive grenades to obliterate the ghouls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But strangely, the CCG’s arsenal didn’t stock many grenades.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The arsenal’s explanation: grenades couldn’t reliably kill ghouls and might endanger civilians.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This left Su Xiao puzzled—and suspicious. They were conducting a clearance operation in the suburbs; no civilians were nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps CCG headquarters feared extreme investigators might use mass-kill weapons in urban areas?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Possible—but the reasoning felt weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whatever the real reason, Su Xiao had no interest in investigating further. His priority was completing the main quest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Crack, crack…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Muffled thuds echoed from within the building; a white mist spread outward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn’t tear gas—it was CRC gas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At sufficient concentration, CRC gas severely impaired ghouls, suppressing RC cell activity, causing kagune to shrink and preventing kakuja from manifesting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The timing was perfect. Su Xiao charged toward the building, followed by dozens of investigators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rapid gunfire, clashing weapons, and screams erupted inside the abandoned building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battle erupted instantly into full-blown chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“C-CGG’s here! Run!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ghouls panicked. The sudden CRC gas rendered them unable to manifest kakuja.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the building wasn’t sealed—the CRC gas was already dissipating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao slashed forward, blade flashing; several ghouls fell, carving a bloody path. The investigators defended his rear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With their cover, Su Xiao moved with far greater ease in the melee—ghouls fell one after another beneath his blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two hours later, Su Xiao sat on the ground, drenched in blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tore a strip of cloth from a ghoul’s corpse and began wiping Zhanlong Flash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battle had lasted two grueling hours. The ghouls had tried to flee, but Su Xiao’s outer team blocked them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By then, the CRC gas had been blown away; the ghouls went berserk, fighting desperately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He discarded the blood- and flesh-smeared cloth, sheathing Zhanlong Flash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before him lay a sea of ghoul corpses—but not a single treasure chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps that earlier flash had used up all his luck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gained 367 CCG contribution points from slaughtering these ghouls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mission progress updated: 【First-Class Investigator, Contribution: 1264\u002F2000.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he’d cleared over 200 ghouls, not all were his kills—many fell to other investigators. He received only a fraction of the contribution points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he neared his main quest goal, Su Xiao entertained a thought: if it came true, he’d gain significant freedom of movement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiao, report casualties.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shinato Go’s death had deeply affected Shinato Xiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Shinato Xiao didn’t request leave today—this woman was stubborn, fiercely determined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“128 deployed. 78 lightly wounded, 15 seriously wounded, 23 dead. 12 others suffered only minor scrapes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shinato Xiao stood rigidly after reporting—she, too, was lightly wounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao wasn’t surprised by these losses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearing ghouls wasn’t simple—it demanded lives. Only 23 dead? That was a decisive victory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without Su Xiao leading the charge, deaths might have exceeded half the force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It sounds exaggerated—but it’s the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Reorganize the teams. Send the dead to headquarters. Transport the seriously and lightly wounded to the hospital.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How many can still fight?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao planned to clear the next ghoul gathering point—time was running short.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“About fifty-some can still fight.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exact number.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the midst of slaughter and combat, Su Xiao had unconsciously developed a unique aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fifty-three.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shinato Xiao instinctively straightened her posture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fifty-three? Not enough. Contact Special Investigator Shinohara—we’re short on manpower.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shinohara Yukiki had previously discussed with Su Xiao: clearing District 14 was acceptable only if casualties stayed under 100. Beyond that, he’d halt the operation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To clear large numbers of ghouls, losses were inevitable. Deathless battles existed only in Rexue  stories. Su Xiao wasn’t naive; Shinohara wasn’t either. Both understood this perfectly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who kill must be ready to die.\u003C\u002Fp>",1086,"2026-06-19T23:49:42.795Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","e44001646561df5a63567b2311b8ccf9717f6ebb879323fec6ab8bed06d9b161","paradise-of-reincarnation-chapter-68","paradise-of-reincarnation-chapter-66",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fparadise-of-reincarnation-cover.jpg"]
