Before the CCG investigators around him could react, Gawain had already grabbed Arima the shoulder.
He still wanted to struggle, but clearly, he had no chance at all.
With a simple grip, Gawain not only seized Arima's collarbone, but also electrified and paralyzed all of Arima's muscles.
After giving the Arima paralysis buff, Gawain nodded to everyone around him.
Then, he looked at the stunned Akira Mado and bowed slightly.
"It's time to say goodbye, Ms. Mado and Mr. Mado!"
I will not break my promise. One-Eyed Owl will come with me to apologize to you tomorrow.
But all you can do is apologize. Just like I won't allow Yomo and Touka to kill Arima, you can't take Owl's head either.
Prepare in advance.
After speaking, Gawain turned around and walked towards the door on his own.
Facing Gawain's nonchalant steps, the CCG members retreated again and again, almost squeezing out of the CCG headquarters!
As for those Special Investigators who stood there blankly...
They looked at each other blankly, then stared at the bureau chief.
Meeting their gazes, Washuu Kichimasa swallowed hard and then raised his right hand.
"Let them pass..."
After giving a weak command, Washuu Kichimasa plopped down in the chair closest to him.
This is the CCG's reception area, with plenty of tables and chairs. As for the battle between Gawain and Arima, which ended in a mere few dozen seconds, how many tables and chairs could a battle of that scale possibly destroy?
He Washuu, who seemed to have collapsed into a limp chair, stared at Gawain's back and breathed heavily.
This is incredible!
This is really serious!
This isn't some One-Eyed King, he's practically a one-eyed god!
Is Tokyo, Washuu Clan has controlled for a full century, about to collapse like this?
Will there still be a place for the Washuu Clan in Tokyo in the future?
Although Arima was merely a tool for the Washuu Clan.
Even Washuu Kichimasa had to admit that Arima's strength had become the Washuu Clan's most indispensable tool!
The Washuu Clan used to take pride in using Arima, the strongest among them, as a tool.
And now, even their strongest weapons can't harm the enemy in the slightest.
The real crisis for the Washuu Clan has arrived!
Without mentioning Washuu Kichimasa's panic and the shock and despair felt by the CCG.
At this moment, Touka followed behind Gawain with small steps, and even after walking out of the CCG gate, she still looked back every three steps in a comical manner.
Whoosh!
After turning around uncontrollably once again, Touka looked at the CCG gate behind her and muttered incredulously.
"Is this a dream? Isn't that a film studio?"
"Heh, don't overthink it, little girl."
That really is the CCG headquarters.
Gawain didn't reply to Touka, but Arima, who was being dragged on the ground, spoke up instead.
By this time, Gawain had released Arima from his paralysis, so Arima finally regained the strength to speak.
Upon hearing Arima's words, Touka frowned, and hatred immediately welled up in her heart.
"Arima Kishou!!!"
Yes, the facts are clear: you, the strongest human, have fallen into the hands of the adults!
"I'm so petty! With your strength, I shouldn't have been so surprised at all!"
As she spoke, Touka took a deep breath and then punched Arima, who was being dragged along.
Boom!
This punch left a clear bruise on Arima's face.
"Hmm."
Arima let out a soft groan, then turned his head and spat out a mouthful of blood.
He licked his lips again, cleaning the bloodstains from the corners of his lips, then looked at Touka expressionlessly and asked.
"Did I kill your mother back then?"
"It's my parents!!!"
Touka gritted her teeth and responded, then raised her fist again.
However, the fist remained raised for a long time without falling.
Looking at this defenseless guy in front of her, Touka really didn't have the strength to raise her fist.
To the ghouls, this guy was like a ruthless butcher, having killed countless people.
But isn't he a hero to humanity too?
If it were any other ghoul, Arima wouldn't have survived three seconds in his current state if Gawain hadn't stopped him.
But Touka...
Kindness is her true nature.
The relationship between ghouls and humans is like that between humans and cattle/sheep.
Sometimes ghouls are humans, and sometimes they are cattle or sheep.
Cattle and sheep also have their own understanding of the world, but they cannot explain their understanding to humans.
If cattle and sheep possessed the same intelligence as humans, they would not only be more helpless and suffer more, but they would also cause those who killed them to endure even greater confusion and bewilderment.
Ahead, one could hear Touka's increasingly disordered breathing.
Gawain sighed softly, then said without turning his head.
"Having harbored hatred for over a decade, the feeling of suddenly having to pay the price is just like how you feel right now."
After being overwhelmed by a moment of satisfaction, all that remains is a suffocating sense of loneliness.
Don't advise others to be kind if you haven't experienced their suffering, so I won't offer you any words of comfort.
That's it, things will get back on track eventually.
After he finished speaking, Gawain fell silent again.
And so he silently led Arima forward.
The crowd that the three of them passed by couldn't help but gather together.
After we got far enough away from the CCG, the number of citizens on the streets increased.
Similarly, the bolder ghouls mixed among humans also inevitably caught sight of the disheveled Arima Kishou!!!
For a moment, the dozens of ghouls who had passed by were itching to see what trouble the Grim Reaper was in, but they dared not get too close.
Fortunately, in less than half a minute, they made a pleasant surprise.
Humans really love watching a spectacle. Even though Gawain and Arima's outfits clearly indicated a crime scene, countless humans still gathered to watch.
You should know that Arima a broken arm.
Although it wasn't to the point of a bloodbath, the clear bloodstains were still clearly visible.
Arima white hair and likes to White Suits.
The blood must have been so clear.
As a result, quite a few people still gathered around Gawain, asking him directly if he was filming a movie...
And so, the ghouls, huddled among the humans, finally saw the tragic state of the CCG Shinigami.
So, when Gawain dragged Arima back to the coffee shop...
Gawain's appearance and reputation had already spread throughout the ghoul community.
Along with Gawain, the coffee shop in Anteiku was also exposed.
The shopkeeper spotted Gawain Irimi quite a distance.
She couldn't help but see him, because there were thousands of onlookers following Gawain...
Seeing Gawain's high-profile behavior, Irimi narrowed his eyes uncomfortably, and then simply activated his kagune!
Release the kagune, remove the colored contact lenses.
A moment later, Iruma, with red eyes and two tails Irimi, came up to Gawain.
"Aaaaa, it's a ghoul!"
"We should have known he was a ghoul a long time ago, and the one lying on the ground is a CCG investigator, someone who's been on TV!"
"The Anteiku Café is actually a ghoul's lair!"
"I even went to get coffee!"
"It's terrifying! They're all hiding among us!"
"What's going on with the CCG? I heard from the people at the front of the line that this guy fought his way out of the CCG headquarters, and he even dragged a CCG Special Investigator with him!"
This is a top-class investigator!
"What Arima Kishou, the strongest human!"
"Tokyo is doomed!"
"Aaaaaah, it's the end of the world!!!"
Amidst countless shouts, the onlookers retreated dozens of steps, expanding the encirclement many times over.
Looking at the thick crowd gathered outside the coffee shop, Irimi sighed helplessly and then waved his right hand.
The moment the gesture was made, dozens of ghouls rushed out from the upper floors of the coffee shop.
They scattered among the crowd, releasing their kagune one by one, and removing their masks in the process!
Among the surrounding crowd, Ken Kaneki had long wanted to escape.
But... his legs were weak, and he could barely move!
Last night, Gawain forcibly took Rize away.
After being frightened by Gawain, Ken Kaneki regretted it for a whole night after returning home.
Even after he finally fell asleep, his dreams were Rize with images and scenes of Rize being bound and abused by the Yakuza...
Sure enough, early this morning, Ken Kaneki hurriedly left home and wandered aimlessly around the coffee shop area.
He didn't think that Miss Rize, who had been taken away by the Yakuza, would be able to sit in a café and drink coffee like she used to.
In short, lacking information but unable to let Rize, he walked around the streets near the Anteiku Café for more than three hours, feeling regretful and sad.
I don't ask to see Rize again; I just want to reminisce about the streets Rize once walked and visit Rize favorite coffee shop one last time.
Reaching this level is already the limit that a pure-hearted, socially awkward boy could achieve...
However, Ken Kaneki, standing in the crowd at this moment, was trembling so badly that it was indescribable!
He thought that Rize's connection with the Yakuza was already brave enough, but it turns out that Rize also has a connection with ghouls!
Ken Kaneki could easily recognize that the man dragging the CCG investigator around the streets was the same guy who took Rize away last night!!!
Thump!
Thump!
Kaneki's heart was pounding.
"Miss Rize... was she eaten...?"
Waaah... Was she eaten...? Such a beautiful, innocent Rize- san...!"
Pain!
A pain that pierces the heart!
Kaneki's heart was about to explode!
He was like a walking corpse, constantly being swept along by the crowd around him.
His legs were still trembling as he walked, but his heart... at least he felt that her heart had already been eaten by the ghouls along with Rize...
Wow!!!
Before Ken Kaneki's grief could fully subside, a voice suddenly rang out from afar, leaving Ken Kaneki completely stunned.
Suddenly, the window on the second floor of the Anteiku Café opened, and then, a head of pink hair peeked out of the window before the pretty head could even emerge.
From nearly 500 meters away, Kaneki spotted the simple bow tied in Rize's pink hair in just one glance.
At the same time, Rize opened the window and shouted to Gawain with pride and surprise.
"Gawain, you actually brought Arima Kishou back!"
Hehe, the big shot from back then, looks quite pathetic now!
As she spoke, Rize leaped from the window, her four scales extending from her back snaking and pushing against the wall, propelling Rize like a rocket towards Gawain!
A moment later.
Thump!
The sound of Rize hitting the ground hard reached Ken Kaneki's ears.
Ken Kaneki, who thought Rize was dead just moments before, was not heartbroken.
Seeing Ken Kaneki again at this moment, Rize Ken's heart truly broke!
Kaneki always thought that even if a goddess without makeup was just an ordinary woman, she wouldn't at least turn into an ordinary dinosaur or an ordinary ancient god...
It turns out the goddess wasn't human!
It's not a snake or a ghost either...
As for Rize, she wouldn't care about Ken Kaneki, who seemed to be invisible to everyone.
She bowed slightly and then nailed her high heels to Arima Kishou's thigh.
Although Arima is half-human, his physical condition is much better than that of an average person.
Without the protection of his kagune, Arima's skin only held out for a moment before Rize's heel pierced through it.
Ignoring the bloodstains splattered on her calves, Rize gracefully placed her hands on her skirt and knelt down directly in front of Arima.
"Tsk tsk, this generation of cleaners is really much worse than the previous generation."
He served the Washuu Clan for so many years, yet he couldn't even achieve a peaceful death.
Originally, I envied you cleaners who, despite the danger, at least had a lot of freedom.
Well, as expected, only those who laugh last laugh best.
You wouldn't believe it, but I, the producer, actually gained the opportunity for freedom.
As for you, I can tell just by smelling you that you already have the aura of death about you.
If my estimate is correct, you'll be old and dying in six or seven years at most.
"After putting in so much effort, you didn't even live to be forty. Arima, you're so pathetic!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Rize suddenly thrust out his right hand.
But just as the hand was about to stab Arima the heart, Rize stopped.
With her right hand hovering above Arima's ribs, Rize shook her head and then patted Arima's chest.
"Gawain Gawain's power is indeed unbelievable. Even if he broke into the CCG alone, he could still kidnap you, the so-called strongest human!"
This time, it's finally my turn to laugh at you, haha!
Just as Rize burst into laughter, an astonishing commotion erupted again in the neighborhood several kilometers away.
There's no other reason than that Kuzen, along with Yomo and Koma, had already wiped out the monstrous Ghoul Restaurant in Anteiku!
Although the Ghoul Restaurant is the domain of a large group of ghoul bigwigs in Anteiku, ultimately, that organization, which isn't really an organization, can't even muster five S-rank ghouls.
One SS-rank character, leading three S-rank characters, put up a stubborn resistance, but they couldn't even break through Kuzen's defenses...
This time, however, Yoshimura Kuzen did not make a low-key return after the operation, unlike in the past.
At this moment, he swaggered around like One-Eyed Owl, leading dozens of members of the Anteiku Demon Ape Group along the widest avenue in Anteiku.
All along the way!
I bought Baldur's Gate 3 yesterday afternoon at 3 PM, and after it downloaded at 3:30 PM, I've been playing it ever since...
That's right, I haven't slept for thirty hours.
I'll finish writing this book now and go to sleep.
Baldur's Gate is so much fun! Barbarians are the ultimate gods, Tavern Throwers are the ultimate gods, and I love throwing trash!
Shadowheart is the best!
