Chapter 43: Middle School Girl
— Hey, hey, we're colleagues, so you should get along with each other, Suzuya, you can't say hello to your colleagues like that, " Yukinori Shinohara stepped between them and began to teach Juzo Suzuya the basics.
Since he didn't have basic common sense, Su Xiao certainly wasn't going to make a fuss.
However, if he got the chance, he would definitely kill this child.
— Oh, I get it, sorry, I'm really sorry~, " Juzo Suzuya laughed. It was a truly controversial character.
— Mr. Shinohara, the test is over?
Yukinori Shinohara moved his numb hands and nodded.
— You are now officially an investigator for the Ghoul Control Department, " Yukinori Shinohara said seriously.
— Being an Investigator is a responsibility. Protecting ordinary people and killing ghouls is our primary duty. We may have to sacrifice a lot for this, but we must not hesitate.
Although Su Xiao was unwilling to listen to such a passionate speech, he didn't interrupt him.
— ...that's all. If you are mentally prepared, then you can go to complete tasks right now, but a third-class investigator cannot act alone and needs the protection of a senior investigator.
Su Xiao coughed slightly. "Mr. Shinohara, do you think I need protection?
Yukinori Shinohara laughed and shook his head. — These are the rules.
— I can do it all by myself, it's nothing more than ghouls.
After some hesitation, Yukinori Shinohara nodded. Su Xiao didn't need the senior investigator's protection. Su Xiao could protect the senior investigators himself, and it actually sounded more reasonable.
— In that case, I'll give you a couple of cases, " Yukinori Shinohara walked over to his desk and soon handed Su Xiao a folder of documents.
Su Xiao quickly scanned the contents. It was very trivial. Strange sounds from the sewers, missing underwear, missing female students...
— We do this every day. Ghouls are very cunning, especially in our 14th district.
Identifying the ghoul wasn't easy.
Most of the ghouls in District 14 hid well among ordinary people. Except for hunting, they never gave themselves away.
They only needed to hunt once or twice a month to maintain their body's needs.
The hardest part about killing ghouls was finding them.
For Su Xiao, the biggest difficulty was finding them, not killing them. Once he found them, dealing with the ghoul would be a breeze..
— All this information leads to ghouls. Find them and kill them, " Yukinori Shinohara looked serious, and murderous intent could be seen in his eyes.
— No problem, " Su Xiao said, and immediately turned around. He didn't want to waste any time.
— Byakuya, don't forget to go to the logistics department to get some things. Many of these things will be very useful.
Su Xiao stopped for a moment, nodded, and left.
— Another cold colleague, eh, what a pity, " after Shinohara Yukinori sat down at his desk, he saw Juzo Suzui's smirk. It made his head hurt even more.
Su Xiao came to the logistics department and received some tools after presenting the documents.
An hour later, Su Xiao came to the park alone and sat down on a bench.
The park was covered with greenery. A breeze began to blow, the leaves rustled, and the afternoon sun was pleasantly caressing his skin with its rays...
Because of the hot weather, the people in the park didn't feel very well, but since there was a cold breeze blowing from time to time, Su Xiao sat on the bench and enjoyed the cool breeze.
The information provided by Yukinori Shinohira wasn't detailed, but all the incidents had common points. In six months, there have been more than a dozen cases of disappearance, and all of them occurred in this park..
There was a clear division of labor in the Ghoul Control Department, and the usual weak investigators were only responsible for finding clues, for they were not good at fighting.
When there was a lot of evidence and the search for the ghoul became possible, higher-level investigators together with their assistants went out on the hunt.
However, five investigators eventually disappeared in this park.
Yukinori Shinohara previously wanted to personally visit this park.
Su Xiao paid attention to the passing pedestrians. He wasn't in a hurry.
According to information provided by Yukinori Shinohira, no cases of disappearance have occurred in the park in the past two weeks.
This ghoul was bound to appear soon, for this was his " hunting ground».
Some of the ghouls ' actions were similar to those of a beast, such as dividing up the territory and killing intruders if they dared to kill on their territory.
This ghoul couldn't possibly be weak. After all, it had already devoured fifteen people, including the investigators.
Success and patience were both sides of the same coin.
Su Xiao sat on a park bench and waited in silence.
Time flew by in the blink of an eye, and soon it was three o'clock in the afternoon.
A soothing melody began to come from afar...
— School?
Su Xiao looked at the building in the distance. Half an hour later, the number of pedestrians in the park increased. Many of them were high school students who had just finished their studies.
Most of the ghouls hunted at night, so Su Xiao would have to spend the night in this park.
— Why are you sitting here alone? It's so boring here.
A high school girl in a very unusual school uniform sat down next to Su Xiao. This high school student was wearing a sexy top, a black short skirt, and black stockings that showed off her slender legs.
Su Xiao was stunned, did he really meet such a "unique" schoolgirl? It was really an unusual meeting.
— ...
He didn't say anything.
— Oh, what a boring guy.
Su Xiao just ignored her, and she surprisingly just got up and left.
As night fell, the streetlights in the park came on.
Since he had been watching the park all day, Su Xiao was a little hungry. When he was about to get up and go get something to eat, he suddenly heard a short shout.
The cry was very short, it was only for a moment, but he caught it.
Su Xiao immediately stood up and hurried to the source of the sound. The sound came from a corner of the park that was located not far away.
After arriving at the source of the sound, Su Xiao looked around, but found nothing, not to mention people, not even a ghost.
He definitely heard the scream. He didn't make a mistake, so something must have happened here.
After a thorough examination, Su Xiao found a few drops of blood on the edge of the flowerbed and half a broken nail.
The blood was cold, but it hadn't solidified yet.
*K-r-r-r…*
The sound of flesh being torn came from a nearby thicket.
Su Xiao quietly walked in the direction of the sound, and soon, a violent scene appeared before his eyes.
The victim, whose face could not be clearly seen, was lying on the ground, and a ghoul was sitting on it and devouring it.
Su Xiao frowned.
The ghoul in front of him wasn't strong, probably only B-class, but this ghoul was unlikely to be able to handle other investigators.
Su Xiao soon came to a simple conclusion.
It was probably not his territory, but he was so hungry that he decided to take the risk.
— Wild animal, who allowed you to hunt in my territory? A sharp female voice came from the woods nearby, and at the same time, kagune flashed in the air towards the dining ghoul.
*Pouf*
His head flew into the air.
The kagune owner stepped out of the trees. After seeing her clearly, Su Xiao was shocked.
She surprisingly turned out to be the high school girl he had seen earlier.
And she was a ghoul.
