Chapter 39: Beautiful as a Flower, Ruthless as a wolf
After all the members of the Aogiri Tree retreated, the battle came to an end.
Su Xiao put away his sword, picked up his shirt, and draped it over his shoulder.
In this short battle with Takatsuki Sen, he had lost a total of 12% of his health, and since his lower abdomen was still bleeding, his health was slowly decreasing.
As for Su Xiao's attacks, Takatsuki Sen had at most lost about 10% of her health.
The ghouls ' survivability was truly amazing. Takatsuki Sen was in kakuji's form, and her stamina score in this form was at least fifteen points.
If you only take into account the stats, then Takatsuki Sen was stronger than Su Xiao, but if we talk about a real fight, it was difficult to compare them.
Takatsuki Sen's combat experience was quite rich, but her skills were terrible and she mostly relied on brute force.
But that was the reason why he could easily defeat S-rank ghouls. In battle, ghouls charged forward without thinking, and they always defeated their enemies with brute force.
If this wasn't the case, then the investigators from the Ghoul Control Department wouldn't have been able to deal with them at all.
The investigators from the Ghoul Control Department were ordinary people with good physical characteristics. They fought the ghouls with their wits and strategy. Of course, there were exceptions among them.
Kotaro Amon's appearance meant that the place was surrounded by people from the Ghoul Control Department. Undoubtedly, it was a good opportunity for him to join the Ghoul Control Department.
After putting away his sword, Su Xiao slowly started walking towards Kotaro Amon.
— Stop! Koutarou Amon shouted as he pressed the button on the handle of the briefcase at the same time. He immediately began to change.
As a result, Kotarou Amon had a strange weapon in his hands.
It was a metal spike. This was Kotaro Amon's special kuinkyo.
It was the oddly shaped kuinke that surprised Su Xiao, could he really fight with this weapon?
— Who are you? Ghoul or human? Kotarou Amon held kuinkyo tightly with both hands and watched Su Xiao vigilantly. The scene of Su Xiao fighting the one-eyed owl had strained this top-notch investigator.
— Have you ever seen a ghoul fight with a sword in his hand? Su Xiao placed his hand on the hilt of his sword and continued walking towards Amon Kotarou.
Amon Kotaro wanted to say something, but Su Xiao beat him to it — " Don't be nervous, if I wanted to kill you, you would already be dead.
A white light flashed, and Su Xiao's sword blade was placed near Kotarou's neck.
*Gulp...*
Amon Kotaro swallowed. Su Xiao's speed was too incredible.
— Don't be nervous, " Su Xiao put away his sword and patted him on the shoulder.
A huge sense of disappointment appeared in Amon's heart. If he was a ghoul, he would be dead by now.
— By the way...
— Kotarou Amon looked at Su Xiao in confusion.
— Do you need people in the Ghoul Control Department? That ghoul over there is my gift, I would like to join you.
Amon Kotaro looked at Oomori's headless body...
— This... An S-rank ghoul, Jason? Kotarou Amon tightened his grip on his kuinkyo and was at Oomori's side in a few steps. Oomori was named "Jason" by the Ghoul Control Authority..
— You didn't answer my question, " Su Xiao took out a few bandages from the box and started to wipe the blood, then started to bandage the wound.
Kotarou Amon hesitated. He knew that this was a great opportunity, as Su Xiao was able to injure the owl. He was no doubt strong.
There were no more than two people in the Ghoul Control Department who could do something like this.
— Joining the Ghoul Control Department requires a thorough assessment, but your situation is a little special. We just need to confirm that you're not a ghoul. I think it'll be all right.
After receiving a clear answer, Su Xiao smiled.
Joining the Ghoul Control Department was a done deal.
*Knock, knock, knock*...
Footsteps were heard, and soon an old man with a briefcase came into view.
Not only did the old man have a lot of white hair, but he also had small eyes, and his movements were a bit strange and caused quite unpleasant feelings.
— Where? Where are the ghouls?
The person who came was Kotaro Amon's boss, it was senior investigator Kureo Mado.
Initially, he was a fair investigator and was quite humble, but after his wife was killed by a ghoul, everything changed.
Kureo Mado has completely changed. He became obsessed with killing ghouls and wanted to destroy every ghoul in the world.
But even so, Kureo Mado was kind to his colleagues and he took Koutaro Amon's training seriously.
— Mr. Kureo, you've arrived, " Kotarou Amon greeted him and whispered something to him.
After a while Kureo's originally small eyes suddenly widened and he looked at Su Xiao in disbelief.
Kureo Mado took a few steps towards Su Xiao. His movements were very agile. After that, he started sniffing around Su Xiao...
— Man, this can't be a mistake. I won't forget the smell of these animals even if I die.
After confirming that Su Xiao was a human, Kotarou Amon was overjoyed.
— I'm Kureo Mado, did you really fight the one-eyed owl? Kureo Mado's eyes seemed to be on fire.
Seeing his gaze, Su Xiao sighed. He knew that look. He used to look at some people in the same way himself.
That gaze was filled with hatred, endless hatred.
— Yes, but since this area is a bit unsuitable, she was able to escape.
— Ha-ha-ha, " he heard a painful and nervous laugh in response. "Do you want to join the Ghoul Control Department?" Come with me, I will be your guarantor.
Kureo Mado didn't care about Su Xiao's background or identity. Since he was able to harm the one-eyed owl, he was willing to stand up for him.
— Mr. Kureo, calm down, " Kotaro Amon put his hand on Kureo Mado's shoulder, and Kureo Mado sighed and nodded.
— What's your name? He asked and smiled at Su Xiao.
— Byakuya.
— What neighborhood do you live in?
— ...
Su Xiao's silence made Kotaro Amon feel helpless.
— Well, Mr. Byakuya, you were injured fighting ghouls. Our people are down there. As for joining the Department, we should visit the department in the twentieth district and talk about it there.
Su Xiao pondered for a while, and finally nodded and followed Kotarou Amon down the stairs.
Soon after, Kureo Mado discovered Oomori's body. He picked it up and went downstairs with it.
By now, there were more than a dozen cars parked under the building, sirens blaring everywhere, red and blue lights flashing...
The Ghoul Control Department may have received a couple of messages from ordinary people, and the investigators immediately came here. The police present were only responsible for evacuating nearby civilians.
When it came to ghouls, ordinary policemen couldn't do anything against them.
Sitting on the couch in the ambulance, Su Xiao looked at the beautiful nurse.
— Oh, " the nurse's timid voice was heard, and Su Xiao looked away. — The wound is quite deep, you will need to use painkillers, otherwise...
— No, the painkillers will affect my reflexes. Apply the stitches like this.
The nurse hesitated, then nodded.
Although the nurse was as beautiful as a flower and her voice was timid, when it came to direct treatment, she would become extremely fierce and unwavering, as could be seen from Su Xiao's changing expression from time to time.
