"Don't even think about running! It's a waste of effort. Can you outrun lightning?"
Raiden Mei did not kill her outright. Instead, a hint of interest appeared on her face. This ghoul was not merely far stronger than ordinary ghouls.
She actually had two kagune...

This was a relatively rare occurrence.
Under normal circumstances, every ghoul had only one kagune. A ghoul's offspring would randomly inherit one parent's kagune, but... in extremely rare cases, they would inherit both parents' kagune, becoming a ghoul with two kagune.

And Tendo Sakurako before her possessed both a wing kagune and a tail kagune.
Depending on the location of the kakuhou, kagune could be divided into four types: wing kagune, shell kagune, scale kagune, and tail kagune. In theory, they followed the cycle of "wing kagune < shell kagune < scale kagune < tail kagune < wing kagune..."
In other words, [tail kagune countered scale kagune, scale kagune countered shell kagune, shell kagune countered wing kagune, and wing kagune countered tail kagune], forming a cycle of mutual restraint.
