I’ve cleared out nearly all the ghouls in the 14th District.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shinohara Yukiki smiled; this Special Class Investigator did not seek glory—he was simply glad humanity now had another safe place to live.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“On behalf of all the humans in the 14th District, thank you, White Night, First Class!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao froze—Shinohara Yukiki knew about his promotion to First Class Investigator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t be surprised; headquarters’ announcement will arrive soon. I’m heading to the 20th District today to regroup with others—the situation in the 11th District is worse. Bronze Tree has captured the 11th District branch; it’s now ghoul territory.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Shinohara Yukiki’s words, Su Xiao frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The CCG branch in the 11th District had been overrun? That was too fast. If there wasn’t a Contracted One’s influence, Su Xiao wouldn’t believe it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It seems open war with Bronze Tree is imminent. Can you reveal the exact timing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao wanted to find out when CCG and Bronze Tree would go to war—it would greatly benefit his actions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We don’t know yet. We’re only told to head to the 20th District and form a ‘Special Task Force.’”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But White Night, you’ll be coming with me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao looked at Shinohara Yukiki in confusion—was he also a member of the “Special Task Force”?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ll go to the 20th District too, but you won’t join the ‘Special Task Force.’ Higher-ups have assigned you a more important task—though, of course, it’s extremely dangerous.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao became interested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What task?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whack-a-mole!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whack-a-mole?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shinohara Yukiki smiled at Su Xiao, as if it were strange that Su Xiao didn’t know what “whack-a-mole” meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Have you heard of the 24th District?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shinohara Yukiki’s expression turned serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao had, of course, heard of the 24th District; while Districts 1 through 4 were dangerous zones teeming with ghouls, the 24th District was a human forbidden zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the CCG, there was a saying: even a Special Class Investigator candidate lacked the qualification to enter the 24th District alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The 24th District wasn’t a single defined area—it was a network of tunnels dug by ghouls beneath Tokyo, spreading throughout the entire city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These tunnels were labyrinthine; even now, the 24th District had never been fully explored. Most ghoul investigators dared only to scout its outer edges.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only CCG team bold enough to penetrate deep into the 24th District was Team Zero—and their captain was Ama Kiyoshi, CCG’s strongest investigator ever, known as the Invincible Investigator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, CCG headquarters’ order was for Su Xiao to go to the 24th District and “whack-a-mole.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The danger level of the 24th District could be summed up in one sentence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is: A-class ghouls walk everywhere, S-class ghouls are as common as dogs, only SS-class ghouls can muster a slight tremor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even that “tremor” carries immense risk—they could be killed at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, this was the 24th District: the Human Forbidden Zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There, cannibalism was normal; the ghouls there couldn’t even get human flesh, because there were no humans left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to intelligence gathered by Team Zero, the ghouls deep within the 24th District—beneath Tokyo’s underground—might number in the tens of thousands, or more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Interesting. Are we whacking moles on the outskirts, or going deep inside?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao’s question surprised Shinohara Yukiki—most people, when assigned to the 24th District, would naturally fear it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ll go with Special Class Ama. And given your strength, you’ll be whacking moles deep inside.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After learning the general details, Su Xiao bid farewell to Shinohara Yukiki, who was rushing to the 20th District.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His official transfer order hadn’t arrived yet, but he too would head to the 20th District soon to meet someone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That afternoon, Su Xiao received CCG headquarters’ transfer order and obtained new credentials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Promoted to First Class Investigator.

If he didn’t complete Main Quest (2), even if the ghoul faction’s Contracted Ones completed it, it would be useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging from the current structure of the main quests, Main Quest (3) would likely be a confrontation-type quest. If he didn’t complete Main Quest (2), the ghoul faction’s Contracted Ones could only wait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could complete the quest anytime, anywhere—that was a major advantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as the deadline hadn’t passed, Main Quest (2) wouldn’t fail—meaning he gained twelve extra days of free action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that CCG headquarters had sent him to the 24th District to “whack-a-mole” with Ama Kiyoshi, this was clearly a chance to gain benefits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more ghouls there were, the higher the chance of loot chests dropping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao was indeed unlucky—but he didn’t believe ghouls would never drop loot chests.\u003C\u002Fp>",1248,"2026-06-19T23:49:42.795Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","cdf4cb18a4830b50272f14e921781201e898421b192aed31b05676928954f2bb","paradise-of-reincarnation-chapter-70","paradise-of-reincarnation-chapter-68",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fparadise-of-reincarnation-cover.jpg"]
