The demon monk in the second dimension

Page 78

Takatsuki Sen realized something, turned around, licked the chili and sauce off her lips, and smiled back at the two of them.

"excuse me."

At the same time, Amon Kotaro noticed Takatsuki Sen's appearance and was suddenly stunned.

"Are you Ms. Takatsuki Sen?"

He glanced at Xia Zhi, who had silver hair, sword-like eyebrows, and bright eyes, and was handsome enough to be a top male escort in Tokyo. Thoughts like a bestselling author having a secret rendezvous with her boyfriend flooded his mind.

"So the rumors that Takatsuki Sen-sensei has a boyfriend were true!"

Takatsuki Sen wiped his mouth with his hand and smiled at Amon Kotaro.

"Want an autograph? But don't tell anyone about this."

Amon Kotaro's expression turned solemn, and he nodded slightly.

"I promise!"

But one thing is another.

Despite being somewhat surprised to see Takatsuki Sen, Amon Kotaro proceeded with the usual procedure and addressed the group.

"I'm sorry, we received a report that someone suspects ghouls are hiding in your house. May I ask you a few questions?"

That's just a nice way of putting it. The unpleasant way is that someone reported you as ghouls.

But after smelling the aroma of food on the group, Amon Kotaro realized that this was unlikely.

It is well known that human food is more like poison to ghouls.

The three people eating here don't look like ghouls at all.

Who would take poison for fun for no reason?

But Xia Zhi gave Amon Kotaro a cold look.

"No."

That means they were half an hour late.

If it had been half an hour earlier, and Xia Zhi had been interrupted, he would have sent the two of them to their deaths.

Amon Kotaro: ...

"Haha, then forget it. I'm so sorry to have bothered you all."

He had intended to take a more forceful approach through the proper channels, but Mado Kureo patted him on the shoulder and laughed.

"Let's go, Yamon-kun."

"Yes, Mado is of superior quality."

Amon Kotaro was taken aback, nodded slightly to Xia Zhi, and followed Mado Kureo.

Not long after they left, Amon Kotaro asked Mado Kureo curiously.

"Mado-san, why don't you check them according to procedure?"

“Ghouls don’t eat like humans. Nobody knew about our sudden operation, so they’re unlikely to be faking it.”

"Mado Kureo said to Amon Koutarou."

"And, Mr. Amon, we also have a headache if we receive strong complaints from celebrities. If investigators use their positions to spy on women's privacy, we'll become famous instantly!"

"I see."

Kotaro Amon nodded slightly, indicating that he had learned something, and then sighed.

"I never expected to run into Ms. Takatsuki Sen here! Oh no, I forgot to ask her for an autograph!"

Seeing Amon Kotaro's shocked expression, Mado Kureo chuckled.

"Alright, Amon-kun, we are investigators, not reporters from Weekly Bunshun. This kind of thing has nothing to do with us."

He thought for a moment, then spoke again.

"But the person who provided the information is probably just jealous of celebrities or rich people; there are plenty of people like that in this country. Not encountering ghouls is quite common, don't worry about it. Let's go to the next place,"

"Yes, Mado, Superior Quality!"

……

After the two left, Takatsuki Sen felt a little strange.

"I only arrived here yesterday, who would report us?"

Summer Solstice seemed lost in thought.

"I have a rough idea of who it is."

It wasn't just Aogiri Tree that was watching and tracking Rize Kamishiro; there was also Souta Wasu, who wanted to use Rize Kamishiro as a breeding ground to turn all the humans in Tokyo into ghouls.

As a branch family member of the Shu family, who truly control the CCG, it would be incredibly easy for them to send a report to the CCG that would inevitably be taken seriously.

"Some things, once done, inevitably come at a price!"

Chapter 108

He Xiujiro is a villain with perseverance, wisdom, determination, and patience.

If he were the main character, Kaneki Ken wouldn't stand a chance.

The best way to deal with such a villain is to destroy his hope and trample on his dreams.

The emotional torment is far more painful for this kind of villain than mere physical torture.

However, Xia Zhi likes to do things in two ways at the same time.

We must grasp both aspects.

The body must be tortured, and the soul must be tormented!

The Washuu family was originally a powerful ghoul family from the Middle East, but they changed their surname to Washuu in order to integrate into Japanese society.

Through generations of intermarriage within the local community, the original bloodline can no longer be seen in the current He Xiu.

In the late 19th century, the "Ghoul Countermeasures Institute," which later became known as the Ghoul Countermeasures Bureau, was established under the leadership of Washu Daikichi, the head of the Washu family.

In this way, the Hexiu family gained immense power and status in human society.

Later, Washuu Yoshita even developed the "Cookin"—a weapon made from the kagune of ghouls, possessing immense destructive power.

And no one would believe that the Washuu family, who led the investigators to hunt down ghouls, would be a ghoul family.

Within the Washuu family, every mother who gives birth to a new Washuu must be carefully selected and is called the "birther".

In this way, their children will have very high qualities.

Rize Kamishiro was the chosen one to give birth in this generation, but she managed to escape from the Washuu family.

The Washu family consists of three members.

First, there is the half-ghoul of the main family; second, there is the ghoul of the ordinary member; and third, there is the half-human of the branch family.

Both half-ghouls and half-humans are children born from ghouls and humans.

Among them, half-ghouls, like Takatsuki Sen, are undetectable as ghouls even by CCG instruments, yet they can use kagune, making them all extremely powerful.

While half-humans cannot use kagune, they are all geniuses. Their physical skills and intelligence are both astonishing.

However, compared to half-ghouls, half-humans have genetic defects, resulting in a short lifespan and the development of incurable diseases during their youth.

Therefore, the half-humans, who were considered "consumables," were classified as members of the branch family. They not only lacked the right to call their biological father "father," but also could not inherit the surname "Washu." Furthermore, they had to undergo harsh, emotionless training from a young age.

This is training to create killers and warriors, devoid of any tenderness.

After completing their training, the half-humans who have become qualified tools will uniformly join the CCG, become investigators, and become He Xiu's swords.

Kishou Arima, known as the "White Reaper," is a member of the Wasu family, which split off from the Wasu clan.

Yoshimura Kōzen was once a member of "V", a secret organization under the Washuu family, and Takatsuki Sen also once worked in the V organization.

It was around that time that she met Kishou Arima.

A half-ghoul and a half-human made a vow to "achieve peace between ghouls and humans".

However, the Washuu family, which dominates both ghouls and humans, is extremely powerful, and even she and Arima Kishou combined cannot overthrow this behemoth.

So the two decided to train the strongest one, the one who could defeat them and ascend the throne!

He will be the new king who can fulfill their long-cherished wish!

However, Takatsuki Sen certainly doesn't think that way anymore.

"And the old Zongtai?"

Hearing this name from Xia Zhi, Takatsuki Sen thought for a while but couldn't recall who it was.

"Although it's He Xiu, I've never heard of him."

"He is a half-human, Kanou Minbo's assistant, and also a member of the Joker organization. He is currently a nobody hiding himself, but in reality, he has huge ambitions."

Xia Zhi already had a plan in mind on how to prepare and repair the old Duozongtai.

That's not just a simple matter of death; it's a double blow to both the will and the body.

"If you want to achieve your wish, the Xiu family will be an obstacle. So I'm entrusting it to you."

Takatsuki Sen originally thought that Xia Zhi's use of "responsible" meant to deal with or eliminate.

I still think it's quite difficult.

But she never expected that this "responsibility" would actually be responsible.

……

Meanwhile, as Amon Kotaro and Mado Kureo left, Wasu Kouta Sōta was observing from the vicinity.

Watching the two leave, he scratched his chin, somewhat puzzled.

“That doesn’t make sense. According to my deduction, Rize should have been taken away by them. Nick told me that Jason didn’t bring Rize back when he returned to Aogiri Tree.”

He blinked and guessed.

"Could it be that Rize-chan wasn't imprisoned here after all? This is troublesome. I'm afraid I can't defeat anyone capable of fighting Rize-chan. Should I ask the Doctor and the clowns for help?"

As Furuta and Shusouta were pondering, a voice suddenly rang out from behind them.

"I think you should worry more about yourself than about Rize Kamishiro's whereabouts."

"Nani?"

Furuta and Shusou were startled and leaped forward.

His powerful physique allowed him to jump more than three meters away, and at the same time, he turned around to look at the person who had come from the other side.

He saw Xia Zhi holding Wuming, standing expressionless behind him.

When Xia Zhi noticed that someone was watching her, she initially thought it was the two investigators.

Even after they left, the prying eyes remained.

Xia Zhi released her magic and immediately spotted Furuta and Shuzota, who were wearing clown masks.

Using her magic to obscure the surrounding view, Xia Zhi patted Wuming's head.

"Nameless, summon your kagune."

"Oh."

The nameless creature responded by extending four tails from behind its waist.

Furuta and Shusouta were stunned when they saw the four tailed kagune.

This is Rize Kamishiro's kagune!

Rize-chan was caught by them after all!

Before he could speak, Xia Zhi reached out and wiped Wuming's face.
