Chapter 115: Acting Skills
Near the underground city 24 districts.
Juzo Suzuya was in front of the Tatara, and there wasn't even a single wound visible on the Tatara.
Not far from the two of them, Akira Mado, Noro, and Ayato Kirishima were looking at each other.
— Why did he suddenly leave us? Akira Mado muttered and looked at the ghouls in front of her. If it wasn't for Nova Suzui, both of them would have already died.
— Although I do not know what happened, you two will die, " Ayato Kirishima looked at the two of them coldly. Murderous intent seethed in his eyes. "Let's hurry up and kill them," Ayato Kirishima crouched down and spat out blood from time to time. Although he only fought Kisho Arima for a short time, he almost died.
— Let's kill them!
But just then, three figures emerged from the passage behind them.
— Ayato Kirishima looked at one of the figures in disbelief.
Su Xiao and Kisho Arima led Takatsuki Sen out of the passageway.
— Noro, who usually rarely said anything, suddenly said just two words and immediately rushed forward. Noro seemed very concerned about Takatsuki Sen's condition. After all, he had watched her grow up.
Su Xiao thrust the blade of his sword forward. — One more step and your head will fly up in the air.
He wasn't joking. If Noro dared to attack him, he would show no mercy.
Takatsuki Sen, who was tied up, was stunned and looked at Su Xiao with mixed feelings.
— Let your men retreat, or else Byakuya will really start killing them, " Kisho Arima whispered in Takatsuki's ear..
Takatsuki Sen was silent for a while, and at the same time, her impression of Su Xiao changed again. This guy wasn't just a dumb killer.
— Noro, Kirishima, Tatara, go away, go to Yoshimura, let him find a way to save me.
Noro stopped and looked at Takatsuki Sen with a puzzled expression. They should have asked Yoshimura for help?
Tatara, who was standing off to the side, began to think quickly. As the brain center of the Aogiri Tree, Tatara began to vaguely guess one thing.
— Noro, let's retreat and find him.
Noro still didn't understand what was happening right now.
— Go away, Noro, do you want to die in vain?! Takatsuki Sen shouted while giving Noro a small wink at the same time.
At that moment, no matter how stupid Noro was, he knew something was wrong. Taking Kirishima with them, he and Tatara retreated deeper into the city.
Kirishima, on the other hand, looked confused and didn't understand what had just happened.
— Tatara, Noro, who is this woman? Ayato Kirishima asked and looked at his colleagues suspiciously.
— She's our leader, I'll tell you all about it later.
Very quickly, they disappeared into the city. This underground city was actually the lair of the Aogiri Tree, so they were quite familiar with it.
When the enemy retreated, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
— Byakuya, who is this woman? She seems to have a high status in the Aogiri Tree.
But Su Xiao didn't answer.
In the Ghoul Control Department, only a handful of people knew that the "Non-Killing Owl" was two ghouls, and most investigators thought that under this pseudonym one ghoul was hiding.
— This woman is the leader of the Aogiri Tree, " Kisho Arima replied casually.
— Leader of the Aogiri Tree?
Akira Mado looked at Takatsuki blankly..
— This means that she is a non-killing owl!
— Byakuya, this is your subordinate, so you should calm her down yourself, " Kisho Arima said with an indifferent face.
— I'll kill her! Akira Mado shouted, and with kuinke in her arms, she rushed towards Takatsuki..
— Hey, is this woman crazy? "Takatsuki Sen's upper body was bound with iron chains, and she had thick shackles around her wrists. She could easily break free of these shackles, but after she was released, their plan would be exposed.
— Stay where you are! Su Xiao shouted. "A live owl is much more valuable than a dead one.
Hearing Su Xiao's words, Akira Mado trembled.
— She was involved in the deaths of so many important people, so she must die!
— You can try to do it, but don't blame me for my ruthlessness later.
— Are you really stopping me, Byakuya?..
— Yes.
If she decided to ruin their plan right now, Su Xiao wouldn't show her any mercy.
— Why? Why?!..
Akira Mado threw the kuinkyo she was holding onto the ground, knelt down, and her shoulders shook.
Su Xiao's cold gaze made her feel chills. She suddenly realized that she had never understood this man.
— Let's go back, our mission has come to an end at this point.
The four of them started walking together with Takatsuki Sen from the underground city. As they left, Tatara and the other members of his group continued to watch Takatsuki..
She was calm. She was well aware that as long as Su Xiao and Kisho Arima were by her side, no one would be able to harm her.
Even if they weren't around her at the moment, no one present would be able to harm her.
The journey back was very smooth. Changes have stopped taking place in the 24th district. Using the compass to determine the direction, the group quickly left the 24th district.
After seeing the broken metal gate, it didn't take them long to return. Soon, they came back out and saw a lot of investigators guarding the entrance.
All of them were injured and appeared to have been attacked by ghouls recently.
After Itsuki Marude saw Su Xiao and the others, he quickly walked up to him and asked — " Who is this?" And where are the others? Iwao Kuroiwa has separated from you?
Su Xiao didn't say anything and just patted Itsuki Marude on the shoulder.
— Can we at least get his body back?" Itsuki Marude's voice cracked. He and Iwao had been friends for over a decade.
— No one can find it, not even us.
In the end, it was swallowed by the blood eye.
Itsuki Marude closed his eyes. — What did he die for?
— He covered for us.
Although he hadn't been able to buy them much time, there was no denying that Iwao Kuroiwa was a hero.
— Give it to the Iwao family, " Su Xiao said, and passed the bent one to kuinka that he picked up on the way back.
There was only one correct route from the underground city, so Su Xiao's group on their way back came across a place where they encountered the blood eye.
Itsuki Marude gripped the bloody kuinkyo tightly and fell silent.
