The gear hasn’t arrived yet? What’s going on upstairs?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sorry, I’ll go push them right away.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Special Grade Marute, this is the latest intel: Bronze Tree has assembled in District 11 and is showing signs of initiating hostilities.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The meeting room was in chaos—it had become the temporary command center for the “Special Countermeasures Unit.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao walked into the meeting room; his Zero Team combat uniform stood out sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is that Zero Team?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is Zero Team joining this operation? I suddenly don’t feel so nervous anymore.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Murmurs spread; Su Xiao walked up to Marute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Marute looked disheveled—hair messy, eyes bloodshot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re here. This is the latest from District 11. Take a look. We’re moving out in two hours.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao froze—the timing for the offensive was rushed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So soon?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No choice. Those bastards in District 11 are showing signs of launching an attack. Districts 9, 10, and 12 near District 11 could be hit at any moment—we can’t just sit idle.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Marute slammed a fist onto the table and muttered a curse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Special Countermeasures Unit isn’t fully prepared yet; rushing out like this could cause problems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s precisely why Su Xiao was reassigned to the Special Countermeasures Unit—though Marute and Shinohara Kōki’s influence also played a role.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, they were both Special Grade Investigators, and together, the CCG high command couldn't ignore their proposal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Special Countermeasures Unit has three Special Grade Investigators: Shinohara Kōki, Marute, and Kuroiwa Iwa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Marute handles battlefield command; Shinohara Kōki and Kuroiwa Iwa lead field teams—they’re combat veterans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kuroiwa Iwa is a seasoned Investigator with extensive combat experience; he’s defeated “Fukuro” twice and escaped unscathed, proving his strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like Shinohara Kōki, Kuroiwa Iwa is also a user of “New.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood. But I have a strange feeling.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao set down the files and whispered a few words to Marute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After listening, Marute’s expression changed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm… that’s not impossible. We can’t afford to ignore it. I’ll keep an eye out—I’ll temporarily pull in some specialists from CCG headquarters.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Turns out bringing you here was the right call. I’m counting on you in battle—I want to minimize Investigator casualties.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Marute shed his usual careless demeanor and left the room with solemn expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao found an empty seat, relaxed fully, and adjusted his state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“White Night, you’re here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A familiar voice came; Su Xiao turned his head—it was Shinohara Kōki.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Special Grade Shinohara, how long until we depart? After this mission, I need to return to the 24th District branch to continue exploring its underground.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao’s calm demeanor made Shinohara Kōki sigh with a wry smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to Su Xiao, the other Investigators around him wore looks of deep anxiety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We depart in one hour and thirty minutes. Troop assembly has already begun. How’s things in District 24?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shinohara Kōki sat down, clad in a black combat uniform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The outer zones of District 24 are still safe, but the number of ghouls inside is high—I suspect there’s a massive ghoul concentration at the very center.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two chatted idly, killing time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after, Marute hurried back into the meeting room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shinohara, how’s the civilian evacuation going?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shinohara Kōki stood up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Though time was tight, we completed it with police cooperation—we’re ready to deploy at any moment.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Marute took a deep breath, picked up the microphone, and faced the Investigators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s move, boys!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All Investigators rose and marched swiftly out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the main gate of the CCG branch, a long line of vehicles waited; over a thousand CCG personnel were deployed—the convoy was massive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao found a transport vehicle and was about to board when Marute called out from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“White Night, come with me to the command vehicle—I need to discuss something with you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao walked to the front of the convoy, where a large crowd had gathered, noisy and bustling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were leaders from Tokyo’s various departments and a swarm of TV reporters. After briefly brushing off these people, Marute entered the command vehicle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Marute, could you give us some insight—is the situation optimistic?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, please give the public some reassurance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reporters with cameras and microphones surged forward but were held back by CCG staff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the crowd of reporters, a petite, delicate-looking female reporter, weakened by poor stamina, was pushed out of the throng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her face was anxious—this was a major story, and she needed at least one photo of Marute. But now she hadn’t even clearly seen his face, let alone taken a shot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tears welled in her eyes; she felt her job was slipping away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, she spotted a uniquely dressed Investigator—while all others wore black combat uniforms, this one wore a white trench coat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her reporter’s instinct told her this man was no ordinary figure—he was worth interviewing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sir, could I…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The female reporter sprinted toward Su Xiao, but her steps were clumsy—she tripped over her own left foot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her body lurched forward, the microphone in her hand like a spear thrusting ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the reporter charge at him, Su Xiao’s eye twitched—he instinctively stepped back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was too “enthusiastic”—was she trying to jam the mic down his throat for the interview?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tokyo TV interviews really were uniquely bizarre.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time the reporter got up, Su Xiao had already entered the command vehicle, leaving behind a tearful, bewildered reporter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>District 20, Antō District café—also known as the Antique Café.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Rescuing Jin Muyan from District 11 won’t be easy—we must consider CCG movements and Bronze Tree’s personnel.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to news reports, CCG has deployed over a thousand personnel, clearly indicating they intend to confront Bronze Tree head-on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if we go to rescue Jin Muyan, the chance of total annihilation is high.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The owner finished speaking, looking at Dong Xiang, Hinami, and Nishio Kini—his words were meant for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The owner didn’t want them to go rescue Jin Muyan; he and Shihō Renshi and others already had a rescue plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These three were under the protection of the Quiescent Zone—he didn’t want them harmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, old man, what are you talking about? Are you just going to let him die?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nishio Kini wasn’t strong, but he wasn’t ungrateful—Jin Muyan had once saved his human girlfriend; now that Jin Muyan was in trouble, Nishio Kini wouldn’t stand by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m going to save him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dong Xiang spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I—I’m going too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hinami’s timid voice came.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The owner sighed inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I understand your hearts. I’ve already prepared a plan to rescue Jin Muyan—I only feared you three might be endangered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you want to save Jin Muyan, you must risk your lives.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the three brightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door opened, and a purple-haired handsome man walked in—it was Tsukiyama Ken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You bastard.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nishio Kini tensed his body into a combat stance—Tsukiyama Ken had once captured his girlfriend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dong Xiang beside him also grew alert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsukiyama Ken raised his arm, wearing a look of heartbreak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s heartbreaking—my only friend, Jin Muyan, has been taken. How can I do nothing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And… I have information to share with all of you: among the CCG personnel deployed, a new name has been added—among ghouls, we call him the Black God of Death!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing the name “Black God of Death,” every ghoul in the room changed expression—including the owner.\u003C\u002Fp>",1298,"2026-06-19T23:49:42.795Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","8909daef155d516119b3f4cc6c8e257acf2ee7416f3a0daebfaa4a6ee804afb3","paradise-of-reincarnation-chapter-87","paradise-of-reincarnation-chapter-85",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fparadise-of-reincarnation-cover.jpg"]
