"Sound-wave type kagune, huh? It can cause stress and loss of consciousness?!"
Beside her, Kiyoko Aura, the only female investigator among the seven Special Class Investigators, couldn't help but frown.
"If that's the case, then we've found the reason why you and Shinohara suddenly lost consciousness."
Sonic kagune requires appropriate protective helmets to block it, but we did not arrange corresponding logistical support for this operation.
This is my responsibility at Ceko, and I apologize to you and Mr. Shinohara.
However, I noticed that, Mado, you seemed to have held out for longer against the attack from the unknown ghouls in Anteiku. In fact, you weren't knocked unconscious by the enemy's sonic attack, but were subdued by the enemy's hand chop.
"Then I'd like to know, when that unknown ghoul subdued you, did you assess its physical strength? Also, did you notice the type of kagune it possessed?"
As she finished speaking, Kiyoko Aura looked intently at Mado Kureo.
Meeting Kiyoko Aura's gaze, Mado sighed several times in annoyance, and finally shook his head helplessly.
"I didn't see him release his kagune, and I have no idea what type of kagune it was. I'm not even sure whether the attack that stunned others and put pressure on me was his own or some kind of special weapon."
As for his physical strength...
All I can say is that I have never seen a ghoul as fast as him!
I've personally seen the One-Eyed Owl participated in two Owl Suppression Operation against it!
But I don't think One-Eyed Owl has his speed!
At least in terms of speed, I can guarantee with my surname that he surpasses all ghouls throughout history, at least all the ghouls I have ever personally witnessed in my life!!!
At this point, Mado clutched his head in frustration; he was practically going crazy!
Why are there so many ugly, evil, and damned ghouls in the world who live by eating people?!
They can't kill them all!!!
He hasn't even avenged the One-Eyed Owl yet!
Now, another special ghoul, never before codenamed, has appeared!!!
Ahhh!!!
In an instant, the blood vessels in Mado Kureo's eyes rapidly increased, and his mind was about to be shrouded in darkness.
Just as everyone began to worry about him, he seemed to suddenly remember something!
Bang!
He slammed his hand on his chair and then roared.
"Although I haven't seen his kagune type, I haven't even had a real exchange of blows with him."
But I saw his face!
It wasn't the indistinct appearance that Shinohara and the others saw, but rather the one shrouded in shadow in the distance!
Instead, it was the real face that appeared before me, without a mask!
As soon as he finished speaking, Mado abruptly raised his eyelids and stared intently at Arima Kishou was sitting and deep in thought not far away.
As the current head of the Seven Great Investigators and the strongest human, Arima has always been rather lazy. Apart from being ordered to kill ghouls, Arima doesn't really participate in the CCG's ordinary operations.
He usually leads his small team to places unknown to others, acting on the orders of the CCG Chairman Tsuneyoshi Washuu.
At this moment, although he was listening to Mado's words, his eyes still seemed to be wandering off into the distance.
Arima only looked at Mado Kureo with a Mado Kureo expression and asked softly.
"Mado, why are you looking at me?"
"Because that person's temperament is very similar to yours!"
Mado responded abruptly, then seemed somewhat taken aback himself.
Frustrated, Mado rubbed his face, feeling like he was going crazy. He actually thought a ghoul and the strongest human looked alike.
Arima has always been on the front lines of the fight against the One-Eyed Owl.
Twelve years ago, during the first Owl Suppression Operation, when Arima was just an ordinary third-class investigator, Arima was already a senior investigator and was now fighting against the One-Eyed Owl under the leadership of another special-class investigator Itsuki Marude!
You shouldn't suspect Arima Kishou!
Even though he had always felt that Arima and the others, he had no right to doubt humanity's greatest hope, who had been involved in the mission to fight the One-Eyed Owl even earlier than himself!
Thinking this, Mado suddenly burst into hysterical laughter.
I'm afraid I'm going crazy.
It's all One-Eyed Owl's fault!
Once the One-Eyed Owl is killed, everything will return to normal!
Without hatred, one's beloved can also walk into Takamagahara.
It definitely can!
As long as One-Eyed Owl dies!!!
In an instant, boundless resentment and hatred emanated from Mado's body, almost visibly.
Looking at Mado, who was becoming increasingly crazed, the chief of staff Washuu Kichimasa, gently shook his head.
"Now that Mado-san has seen the enemy's appearance, please have Mado-san go to the Countermeasures Department to find a professional to draw the enemy's appearance."
"I see!"
Upon hearing the order, Mado rushed out of the room immediately.
Sitting in the room didn't feel good at all; it was more like poison, making Mado feel extremely nauseous!
Aside from sleeping, Mado only wanted to find and kill ghouls!
There's no need for discussion or anything like that. The main thing is to be strong enough, enough to kill ghouls and the One-Eyed Owl!
Okay, this is probably acquired psychogenic ADHD...
In short, after Mado Kureo left, everyone in the conference room breathed a sigh of relief.
They are all pillars of the CCG, so of course they wouldn't dislike Mado Kureo.
However, the despair and sense of mission emanating from Mado Kureo were too intense!
At the same time, Arima a moment, then gently pushed up his glasses and said.
"It seems the enemy shares my temperament. In that case, their confidence is probably just as high as mine!"
Therefore, this enemy is probably a very worrying opponent!
"That's right!"
Beside Arima, Haizaki Fukami and the others nodded emphatically.
"Ever since twelve years ago, when Arima and the others first forced One-Eyed Owl to retreat, Arima and the others have been role models for investigators and the strongest humans."
This momentum lasted for a full twelve years, which led to the current charisma of stars like Arima.
The enemy actually possesses a similar temperament and confidence, so could it be... that the enemy is actually One-Eyed Owl?
After all, although we have launched many campaigns against the One-Eyed Owl, we have never seen One-Eyed Owl true appearance!
At this point, Haizaki gave everyone a deep look, the message in his eyes unmistakable. Everyone knew he suspected that the One-Eyed Owl had already mastered even greater power and abilities.
Beside him, Iwao Kuroiwa, deep in thought, shook his head heavily.
"I'm afraid it's not the One-Eyed Owl. After all, if it were that guy, Shinohara and Mado would never have been able to come back safely!"
According to the investigators who found Shinohara and his group, when they found them, they even discovered that some ghouls were nearby, guarding and protecting them.
It seems that not only did they not kill Shinohara and the others, but they also didn't want Shinohara to be killed by other ghouls!
This style is definitely not that of One-Eyed Owl; rather, it's more like the one we later encountered... the Non-Killing Owl!
I think we can now confirm the identity of the Non-Killing Owl!
"It seems that Shinohara has encountered this time is someone who won't be killed..."
"Absolutely impossible!"
Beside him, Special Agent Shinohara abruptly interrupted Special Agent Iwao Kuroiwa.
He quickly shook his head and then said.
"Although the Non-Killing Owl' never killed any investigators, his aura was completely different from the people we encountered that day!"
I'm a firsthand witness, and I think my perspective has some merit. While temperament can't be used as evidence, people like us who walk on the edge of a knife often trust our intuition more!
"That's right, I agree with Shinohara on this point. It's not appropriate to directly define the enemy's identity."
Only those on the front lines who have experienced it firsthand are qualified to define the enemy, aren't they?
Not far away, Mougan Tanakamaru gently tapped the table. This investigator, who would later fight and defeat the Devil Ape Enji Koma Enji Koma, appeared exceptionally serious and focused at this moment.
To his right, Itsuki Marude Saito rested his chin on his hands and sighed softly.
"In short, we have another ghoul that can cause us trouble, but to be honest, I'm not too worried about the ghouls tonight."
After all, he wasn't even wearing a mask; he was probably just an ordinary ghoul who had gotten lucky Awakening a new ability in his kagune, and who might have become arrogant as a result.
Look, he even sent people to protect Shinohara, who was unconscious, which shows that his attitude towards us is still friendly.
Even, heh heh, those ghouls who fear us are probably not qualified to be our enemies in the future!
At this point, Itsuki Marude clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention, and continued.
"Compared to everything that Shinohara's side has encountered, I am more worried about that sudden lightning strike!"
That bolt of lightning struck instantly after the entire Japan experienced a power outage, killing over three thousand ghouls inside Tokyo!
Although he killed ghouls, the power of this weapon is more worrying, because without knowing who possesses such a weapon, no one can guarantee where the lightning will strike next!
"Cough cough!"
Suddenly, the bureau chief Washuu Kichimasa, who were sitting at the head of the table, started coughing heavily.
"We don't need to discuss this matter; our country and cabinet are the ones who should be discussing it."
The Speaker of the Council told me that the Cabinet is concerned that this weapon, capable of killing three thousand ghouls in different locations and with different actions, is the latest invention of the lion from the East.
As for why they chose Tokyo as the location for the experiment...
Perhaps it's because they didn't dare choose Europe.
After all, compared to us, who are united in our determination to kill ghouls, Tokyo as a whole does not accept ghouls and is unwilling to be controlled by them.
If they were to test this weapon in that region of Europe that is completely ruled by ghouls, World War III would probably break out immediately!
At this point, Washuu Kichimasa pressed his right hand down, signaling everyone to talk as little as possible.
Whether the West fears that lion from the East is unknown, Washuu Clan certainly does!
During World War I, countless large ghoul families in Europe relied on the war to make ghouls a necessity and a source of control for countries in Europe and America.
At that time, the Washuu Clan boldly set their sights on Japan.
Even after World War I, the Washuu Clan, using Japan as a springboard, harbored ambitions to annex China in one fell swoop, transforming Washuu Clan from a mid-sized ghoul family in Europe, which was not even a prominent one, into a super-large ghoul family like the Rothschild, capable of controlling the entire United States.
Of course, the Washuu Clan failed and paid a heavy price, to the point that even after World War II, they were unable to completely control the whole of Japan.
Therefore, they could only move behind the scenes, transforming themselves from rulers into rulers of the CCG, thereby coordinating and controlling the number of ghouls in Tokyo and even Japan as a whole, thus embarking on a path of gradually influencing and penetrating all of Japan.
As for now, although the Washuu Clan does indeed wield immense power in Tokyo, Japan doesn't have an official capital!
Therefore, by controlling Tokyo, the Washuu Clan had at most controlled one of Japan's core economic cities, but had not yet completely controlled the political lifeline of the entire Japan!
Therefore, Washuu Kichimasa did not want CCG members to discuss the cabinet too much.
As for the Eastern weapons that the Prime Minister and other cabinet members suspect, let them have their doubts and let them negotiate with the East internationally.
CCG members only need to focus on controlling the number of ghouls to help the Washuu Clan further consolidate their power and control over Japan!
Since the director had said so, Itsuki Marude had no choice but to nod and remain silent.
Beside him, Iwao Kuroiwa looked at Itsuki Marude and shook his head dejectedly.
The Japan cabinet has consistently failed to increase the CCG's budget, a fact that has caused dissatisfaction among many CCG members.
So when the cabinet is mentioned, they all become unwilling to speak...
This is also a tactic Washuu Clan to prevent CCG members from becoming alienated from the cabinet. If the CCG were to become a force within the cabinet, the Washuu Clan would be in serious trouble.
Isn't that right?
In this awkward silence...
Washuu Kichimasa suddenly received a phone call.
So the bureau chief calmly began communicating with the person on the other end of the phone.
A moment later, the call ended.
Suddenly, to the astonishment of the investigators present, their boss's expression completely changed!
The next moment, Washuu Kichimasa suddenly spoke.
"I've just borrowed the investigation and video recordings from the Investigation Division. Everyone... please take a look!"
As he spoke, trembling Washuu Kichimasa turned on his computer and opened the video sent by the Investigation Division from his email!
The next moment, eighty percent of the investigators present stood up in astonishment!
Even Arima Kishou couldn't help but stand up, his usually calm face showing utter astonishment!
Because he saw... a dragon!!!
The video appears to be shot near the summit of Mount Fuji, and the footage is extremely shaky. While the person filming is trembling with fear, viewers can also see the tents and other survival supplies they have prepared.
But those are secondary; the main thing is when the camera lens is shifted to the mountainside in the darkness!
Even though it was the dead of night, they could see with absolute certainty that a colossal dragon, at least several thousand meters long and bathed in moonlight, slowly rose from the forest!
That was... what a gigantic dragon!!!
