Chapter 90: Shocking Appearance

After successive battles, Su Xiao felt slightly fatigued, so he simply jumped onto the concrete beam to rest temporarily. Being at a high place could reduce the chance of being discovered, preventing sneak attacks.

Wiping the blood off his hands, Su Xiao lit a cigarette, holding the long blade, and sat on the beam suspended three meters high to rest.

But not even five minutes later, hurried footsteps came; the Aogiri Tree ghouls were here again.

Su Xiao sighed helplessly and jumped down from the beam.

"This road is blocked."

After speaking, Su Xiao rushed toward those terrified ghouls.

Below the Aogiri Tree stronghold, three people were hiding here: the manager of Anteiku, Yoshimura Kuzen; Black Doberman, Irimi Kaya; and the cute little girl, Fueguchi Hinami.

"Kaya, how is the CCG's movement?"

The manager spoke. He was currently wearing the Aogiri Tree uniform.

"The CCG has split into four teams, three of which are offensive teams, and one is responsible for covering the rear. That team covering the rear... no, that can't be called a team; it's just one person.

That person has blocked the back door. So far, only one member of Aogiri Tree has passed through the back door; the others have all been wiped out.

The current situation is that the CCG has the advantage."

After hearing Irimi Kaya's answer, the manager was silent for a while.

"One person guarding the back door? Is the other party human?"

Irimi Kaya looked at the manager in surprise.

"Of course it's a human; how could there be ghouls in the CCG."

The manager gave a bitter smile. There were naturally ghouls in the CCG, but there were some things he couldn't say; those things were too dangerous.

"If it's a human, then it can only be one of two people. It seems a 'Reaper' has come. I don't know if it's the black one or the white one.

The white one still has room for negotiation; if it's the black one, we can only fight for our lives."

The manager stood up, and his red eyes emerged.

"No choice. Need to buy some time for Touka and the others. Kaya, you take Hinami and leave first, and by the way, notify Touka and the others that if they can't rescue Kaneki within ten minutes, prepare to retreat."

Watching the manager walk toward the distance, Irimi Kaya's lips parted, wanting to say something, but she didn't know how to speak.

"Kaya-sister, will the manager be in danger?"

Hinami had a bitter little face, looking worriedly at the manager who was going away.

"He won't; the manager is very strong."

Irimi Kaya touched Hinami's head and forced a smile.

In the CCG, being crowned with the title of Reaper basically meant being able to drive out an SSS-class ghoul alone. How could Irimi Kaya not worry about the manager's safety?

If it weren't for the manager, Irimi Kaya would still be a crazy "wild dog" now, preying on humans all around. The manager had saved her from being a ghoul to being a "person."

What Irimi Kaya worried about more was that the manager hadn't eaten fresh human flesh for a long time, leading to a decrease in the concentration of RC cells in his body.

"Hinami is so scared; there seems to be a very dangerous person over there."

Hinami's slender fingers pointed in one direction; that was the direction Su Xiao was in.

At this time, the main frontal battlefield was already in full swing. CCG investigators and Aogiri Tree ghouls were fighting fiercely in this abandoned building.

In a corridor littered with debris, Amon Koutarou held two long-handled blades, breathing heavily.

Two corpses lay in front of him; they were S-class ghouls, the Bin Brothers.

"Mr. Mado, you were right. Never give up until the last moment. Before avenging you, I will never die."

Just as Amon was preparing to rest for a while and reunite with the main force, he suddenly heard a strange sound.

Looking up, Amon saw a black shadow fly past outside the window, rushing straight to the roof. The black shadow was vaguely human-shaped, exceptionally tall, at least two and a half to three meters tall.

"What is this?"

Amon suddenly had a bad premonition.

After a hard battle, the CCG main force finally cleared most of the Aogiri Tree ghouls.

This made the CCG investigators feel high-spirited. Under the leadership of two Special Class Investigators, Shinohara Yukinori and Kuroiwa Iwa, the CCG main force rushed to the roof.

According to previous thermal imaging observations, the roof was gathered with a large number of ghouls.

But after Shinohara Yukinori led people to the roof, the roof was empty, not even a ghost shadow.

"This is Shinohara, arrived at the roof, but those guys from Aogiri Tree don't seem to be here. Feels a bit strange."

Shinohara Yukinori reported the situation to Marude Itsuki.

Marude Itsuki in the command vehicle revealed a smile. He had received a report earlier that many hidden demolition points were found in the Aogiri Tree stronghold, and those demolition points had now been dismantled.

"This time it was a 'little trick' played by those guys from Aogiri Tree. If there's no one, forget it. Prepare to retreat. This operation was never a full-scale war; those guys just set up bait."

Marude Itsuki explained the situation to Shinohara Yukinori through the Bluetooth headset.

The facts were indeed so. Aogiri Tree wasn't prepared to fight the CCG at all.

To be precise, Aogiri Tree didn't have the capital to fight the CCG; the CCG was far from as simple as it appeared now.

"Then let's retreat. We drove out quite a few ghouls this time, and more importantly, we regained the 11th Ward."

Speaking of this, a look of joy appeared on Shinohara Yukinori's face.

"Mr. Shinohara."

Amon Koutarou arrived at the roof at some point.

"Amon, you're okay."

Shinohara Yukinori looked at Amon with concern; the two had a good relationship.

"Mr. Shinohara, I just seemed to see..."

"Boom!"

Before Amon Koutarou could finish his sentence, a loud noise came, and some behemoth slammed onto the roof.

"Hmm?"

The gazes of Shinohara Yukinori and the others looked toward the source of the sound.

"What's wrong?"

Marude Itsuki in the command vehicle saw an "object" fall onto the roof through the display screen.

After Marude Itsuki's question, there was a long silence.

"Maru, it's that guy, the One-Eyed Owl."

Shinohara Yukinori's voice was low.

Through the green screen in front of him, Marude Itsuki also saw the scene on the roof clearly.

Marude Itsuki changed from his usual ruffian-like appearance, one hand pressed on the headset, his gaze exceptionally cold.

"Shinohara, keep only those excellent talents who are not afraid of death by your side. Others, even if they waste their lives, won't be able to buy time.

Fight him with the fewest number of people and the most elite personnel. Buy me five minutes. Over."

Marude Itsuki immediately switched channels and contacted Su Xiao.

"Bai Ye, are you still at the back door?"

The sound in the headset was very noisy.

"Yes, but I'm very busy right now."

Su Xiao dodged a kagune that was attacking him and slashed the owner of the kagune to death with one blade.

"The back door doesn't need to be worried about. The roof needs support. The One-Eyed Owl has appeared. Now Shinohara and the others are preparing to meet the enemy, and they might not be a match."

Su Xiao, who was fighting over a dozen ghouls, stopped his figure.

Those ghouls looked at Su Xiao in terror, their bodies trembling non-stop. Some ghouls with severed limbs lay on the ground wailing.

"Understood. I will rush to the roof as soon as possible."

"Please."

The call ended. Su Xiao bent down, tore off a strip of cloth, and wiped Zhan Long Shan.

"Disappear from my sight within ten seconds."

Hearing Su Xiao's words, those dozen or so ghouls scattered like birds and beasts. They originally had over thirty companions; now only fourteen survivors remained.

After confirming the direction, Su Xiao began to advance toward the roof. ===== CHAPTER 91 =====
