Chapter 47: The Massacre
Fourteenth district, center.
Night.
The moon was high in the sky and lit up the surroundings.
This place was known for its notoriety throughout Tokyo, and whenever night fell, it became a gathering place for ghouls.
All the ghouls that appeared here were strong, and their goals were very simple. They killed and ate each other, and the one who ultimately survived became much stronger.
In the ghoul world, only strength mattered.
From time to time, shadows flickered on both sides of the street. The ghouls began to gather and prepare for the feast.
An ordinary man and woman were also walking along this street. Compared to the ghouls, they didn't even try to hide.
— Byakuya, is this really normal? Akira Mado, who was dressed in a black uniform, held a briefcase and occasionally looked around a little nervously.
— Su Xiao yawned. — It's all right, everything's going according to plan.
Unlike the nervous Akira, Su Xiao looked at ease.
— Byakuya, I have a question.
— Yes?
— Where's your kuinke, we might have to fight ghouls...
Su Xiao didn't have the briefcase that investigators usually kept their weapons in.
— I don't need kuinke.
When Akira heard Su Xiao's words, she suddenly stopped and looked at Su Xiao with confusion.
— You don't need a quinque?" Akira's voice was nervous and loud.
— We've come, Akira, your main task is just to stand still, " Su Xiao patted Akira's shoulder, then took a few steps forward and jumped onto the roof of the building.
— Byakuya? Mr. Byakuya? The briefcase almost fell out of Akira's hands. She began to vaguely guess Su Xiao's plan.
She was a decoy.
As a second-class investigator, Akira Mado could kill ghouls from class "B" to class "A", but if a pair of class "A" ghouls came up against her at once, she wouldn't be able to win.
And right now, she felt as if Su Xiao had just left her to fend for herself.
Just as Akira was about to run away, several pairs of blood-red eyes appeared in the darkness around her.
One, two, three... Seven ghouls were already looking at her.
She was trapped. If Su Xiao didn't save her, then she would definitely die.
Akira pressed the button and kuinke appeared in her hands. It was a whip-like weapon.
— Investigator!
— Why is the investigator here?
— It's fine, just kill her. It's not the time yet, and I haven't had a taste of the investigator yet.
These ghouls didn't intend to fight among themselves — on the contrary, they quickly came to the same conclusion.
Apparently the ghouls had their own rules here...
There must have been some kind of force supporting this place, otherwise the ghouls would never have started killing each other after exactly nine o'clock.
— This woman isn't very strong.
Soon there were more than ten of them.
Akira's heart went cold. She knew that now she had no chance to escape.
— Su Xiao's voice suddenly came from one of the rooftops.
When Akira heard Su Xiao's voice, she was relieved, but she still had no idea what he wanted to do. Can this new investigator really handle so many ghouls??
— Who are you?
— Another investigator?
The dozen or so ghouls surrounding Akira were watching Su Xiao vigilantly.
He made them feel strange... They felt threatened by him!
Su Xiao, along with the sword in his hands, jumped down from the roof and landed smoothly.
— Fourteen ghouls, five minutes will be enough, " Su Xiao slowly walked towards the ghouls, but soon his pace began to pick up and reached the point where he became a blur.
The two ghouls were smart and immediately realized that something was wrong and started running away. The other twelve ghouls decided to fight Su Xiao...
Ten rinkaku and bikaku rushed towards Su Xiao...
Su Xiao was almost surrounded by kagune.
Seeing this scene, Akira was shocked, but she tightened her grip on her kuinkyo and threw herself at the class "A" ghoul».
Su Xiao also activated his Qing Gang Ying skill, and the ten kagune that surrounded him were instantly cut off.
The ghouls let out screams filled with pain and looked at Su Xiao with fear.
In the blink of an eye, he was at the side of an A-class ghoul, and his sword left a white line in the air.
A head flew to the sky...
Killing this ghoul was crisp and clean, and it didn't take more than a couple of seconds.
Su Xiao immediately turned around and rushed to the next ghoul.
The other ghouls had already realized that they had met an investigator who was too strong, so they turned around and started running away.
— How stupid.
Su Xiao's black eyes shone.
It was the stupidest choice to start running away from the battlefield without controlling your enemy or at least just not covering your back.
*Pouf*
The blade pierced the ghoul's heart. Su Xiao, on the other hand, easily lifted the strung ghoul up, then threw it at another fleeing ghoul.
When he stood up, all he saw was the cold gleam of the blade.
The last thing he saw was a headless body, blood gushing from its neck, and a man holding a sword that looked like a grim reaper.
In less than twenty seconds from the start of the battle, only eight of the eleven ghouls remained.
The remaining eight ghouls wanted to escape, but quickly realized that it was a bad choice.
— It's impossible, why did such a strong investigator appear in the hive, why didn't they do anything? With a roar, the ghoul turned and ran away.
Su Xiao's agility also reached 13 points, which was equal to the value of his strength. In this world, only the strongest could have such stats.
But not only was Su Xiao strong because of his stats alone, which surpassed those of ordinary people, but he was also strong because of his sword and skills.
And also don't forget about the legacy of the shadow of law.
Of course, this legacy only gave him access to one active skill right now, but the power of this legacy just wasn't fully revealed yet, as he had obtained it recently.
Painful screams were constantly heard on the previously very quiet street...
The ghouls weren't stupid — they all ran off in different directions.
In the end, out of the eight ghouls, Su Xiao killed six. Two lucky people managed to escape.
Akira, on the other hand, was still fighting an A-class ghoul. He wasn't afraid of Akira, but he was afraid of the man who seemed to be the grim reaper, however, because of Akira, he couldn't walk away.
This ghoul was putting a lot of pressure on Akira, and because of this, she only focused on him completely.
She was still too young and didn't keep an eye on her surroundings — she only looked at her opponent.
— Please, please let me go, " the ghoul's sudden request stunned Akira. He was clearly stronger than her, but he suddenly started begging for mercy?
After taking a quick look around, Akira understood.
Su Xiao was sitting on the bodies of two ghouls like a chair, smoking a cigarette. Blood slowly dripped from his longsword.
Akira's eyes widened. She couldn't even take down a single ghoul, and it had already killed all the other ghouls.
— Hey you, yes you, if you dare to try to escape, I will catch you and start slowly cutting you into pieces, " Su Xiao looked at the last remaining ghoul and smiled.
After all, it wasn't too good to use his subordinates as bait.
