Aogiri Tree Disbands, Tatara's Real Name
Ward 11, Aogiri Tree Outpost.
Green-haired girl Takatsuki Sen entered the cadre's office.
Knock knock knock.
She knocked on the door, and a tall man with white hair, bloodshot eyes, and a red mask appeared before her.
Tatara, an SS+ rank Ghoul.
Of course, this is just a pseudonym.
His true identity is the younger brother of "Homura," the leader of the Ghoul organization "Red Tongue Association." He is now an executive of Aogiri Tree and controls most of the power within Aogiri Tree.
"I've met that man who calls himself 'Flame'."
Looking at the man before her, who possessed both powerful Ghoul strength and a sharp mind, Takatsuki Sen said in a complicated and enigmatic tone, "Although I can't remember what he looks like now, I'm sure he doesn't resemble you at all."
Upon hearing this, Tatara closed his eyes, his expression somewhat pained.
"He's much better looking than you."
"Moreover, his strength is simply unbelievable; it feels like we're not even on the same level."
Takatsuki Sen bit her nails and said softly, "In front of that person, I didn't even dare to have the thought of testing him."
To be honest, Tatara is Tatara and has a great presence.
The worst thing is to compare things.
Comparing him to Wang Yan is too unfair to him.
It's like comparing a handsome anime character to a real-life character; the former has no pores, mites, or any blemishes on its face, while the latter rarely has these features.
This additional sentence made Tatara suddenly open his eyes.
He instinctively grabbed Takatsuki Sen's delicate shoulder and murmured, "Yes... it must be him!"
"Eto, thank you!"
The older brother is much better looking than the younger brother.
[The older brother is indeed the older brother; compared to his younger brother, his strength is simply on a completely different level.]
From childhood to adulthood, he has always been surrounded by similar comments.
Tatara, or rather "Wang Yan", never thought there was anything wrong with this.
Being compared to his brother is his greatest honor!
A man like my brother shouldn't be mentioned in the same breath as anyone else; that would be an insult!
"As expected! Yan is still alive!"
The man wearing the red half-face mask had completely lost his usual composure; the fanaticism in his eyes almost made Takatsuki Sen feel a chill run down her spine.
She had never seen him show such an expression before, even though they had known each other for so long.
"More than 100 investigators, including 15 Special Class and 30 Associate Special Class, sacrificed their lives to drive out [Flame]?"
His tone was laced with sarcasm. "What makes a mere hundred-odd investigators a threat to my elder brother?"
"No one in the entire world combined could be his match!"
As he spoke, he tried hard to recall Wang Yan's face in his mind, but then he felt a headache coming on.
A blurred face, a figure no longer clear.
"My brother won't acknowledge me; he must have his reasons."
He said, "We cannot act rashly and ruin my brother's plans."
"Tatara, you..."
Takatsuki Sen was about to say something, he interrupted her.
"Call me Wang Yan, that's my real name."
Wang Yan chuckled lightly, then said solemnly, "From today onwards, Tatara is withdrawing from Aogiri Tree."
No matter what his elder brother's plans or schemes were, he could not have even the slightest impact on them.
Upon hearing this, Takatsuki Sen's beautiful eyes widened in surprise.
She couldn't understand the other person's thought process.
Shouldn't brothers in a typical family have intense conflicts?
Especially in a family where the older brother is exceptionally outstanding, the younger brother should harbor a lot of anger and jealousy deep down.
Given the chance, the younger brother would try to prove himself by suppressing his older brother.
The vast majority of movies, TV series, comics, novels, and anime are arranged in this way.
Before becoming famous, Takatsuki Sen wrote a short story about brotherly love and respect, which was criticized by many readers as "illogical".
Now she understands.
A story needs logic.
But in reality...
Unnecessary!
The man before him, who called himself Wang Yan, showed only sincere and fervent worship for his elder brother.
She thought that if Wang Yan wanted the other person to die, the other person would probably commit suicide on the spot without hesitation.
"Eto, don't try to persuade me anymore, my mind is made up!"
Upon hearing this, Takatsuki Sen sighed.
The guy who used to seem so lifeless is now showing an unusual high spirits, and the thing he did was leave the Aogiri Tree.
The departure of the character "Tatara" means that the entire Aogiri Tree will lose its most important pillar.
As the leader of the Aogiri Tree, Takatsuki Sen has an objective self-assessment.
Without the help of her strategist, Tatara, she could not have managed such a large organization Tatara.
"Then... let the Aogiri Tree disintegrate."
As Takatsuki Sen made up her mind, she felt a great weight lifted off her shoulders.
The world is so big, she wants to see it too.
When the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up.
Compared to someone like Wang Yan, she really is just an immature little Ghoul who can only reign supreme in remote, impoverished areas...
"The Miracle Restaurant has suddenly disappeared, so you probably won't have much of a chance to see it again."
Takatsuki Sen looked at Wang Yan with some pity, but her tone suddenly became lighter. "Would you like to see the old site of that restaurant?"
Wang Yan hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
After all, it's a place where my brother used to be.
Ward 20, Ghoul Cafe.
Wang Yan sipped his coffee, gazing at the empty space opposite him, a look of nostalgia appearing on his face.
All intelligence and signs indicate that "Wang Yan" is indeed his elder brother, and there is no error of having the same name.
"If only I could see my brother one more time..."
"I really want to see him one more time."
Such a thought surfaced deep in his mind, and a familiar voice instantly rang out. "Long time no see."
Wang Yan's voice!
Their voices were heard, but their faces were not seen.
The most difficult thing to manage in the world is the invisible and intangible network of interpersonal relationships.
Originally, he didn't want to see this inexplicably appearing "younger brother".
But the other person's feelings were genuine.
The multiple identities assigned to him by the World Will ultimately backfired on him.
In the air, particles invisible to the naked eye slowly shaped the human form.
Wang Yan appeared before the white-haired, blood-red-eyed youth.
"Being the leader of the Red Tongue Association, [Flame], is just one of my identities."
Wang Yan did not give the other party time or opportunity to reminisce.
He instilled information about Reincarnator, Reward Points, and Destiny Gem deep into the other person's mind.
Of course, Wang Yan would not voluntarily reveal his identity as the "Main God" to the other party.
In Wang Yan's view, he is a special Reincarnator known as the "Guide".
"Now, I will give you a choice."
Wang Yan said indifferently, "Become the strongest on the Ghoul Planet, have a lifespan of ten thousand years, and reign supreme in this world."
"Or..."
"Become a Reincarnator and fight across countless planes."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yan, who had abandoned his identity as "Tatara," burst into laughter.
Where his elder brother was, that was his ideal world!
He will become a Reincarnator, conquering Infinite Planes.
One day, he will stand behind his brother and become Wang Yan's strongest shield and sharpest spear!
This chapter was written in a rush and I'm not very satisfied with it. I was probably not in a good state of mind, so please forgive me.
I feel I had the ability to write this part of the story much better, but I didn't...
