Chapter 66: Progress!
Su Xiao had previously wanted to know how the shadows of law fought against mages.
And now he saw the answer to that question.
In Su Xiao's understanding, the most difficult part of fighting mages was getting close to those mages.
Mages usually attacked their enemies from a distance, but now, with his skill, he would be able to get close to the mage.
And as soon as he gets close to the mage, the battle will essentially be over.
Su Xiao had noticed back in Paradise that most of the mages had thin arms and legs.
However, an excellent physique had two characteristics.
The first one wasn't so good — it didn't allow him to master magic skills, but the second one gave him the ability to ignore 40% of magic damage.
Just because he couldn't master magic skills didn't mean that he would be left without abilities. There were many abilities in Paradise that didn't fall under the category of magic skills.
Most of the passive skills were not magic skills.
But Su Xiao didn't think it was anything bad.
He accepted the legacy of the shadow of law. If he uses skills such as fireball in combat, it will look strange.
The shadows of the Law hated mages, so those with this heritage couldn't learn their spells.
However, everything in this world was relative. Even though he couldn't master the spells, he received a very good defense against those spells.

The next day.
Su Xiao got up very early.
After waking up, he took off his hospital clothes and put on ordinary clothes.
— Byakuya-san, why did you get up? Go back to bed, your injuries are very serious, " the white-robed nurse quickly blocked Su Xiao's path.
— It's all right, I'm healthy.
But the nurse stood her ground. "No," I said!
Su Xiao, a first-class investigator, naturally received first-class personnel who were well taken care of.
Su Xiao patted the nurse's soft shoulder and walked past her.
— Podozhe... but when the nurse wanted to continue, she was pulled aside by her colleague.
— Anzu, forget it, the investigators have their own missions, we only need to help them with treating their wounds. According to today's report, Byakuya-san has reached the right state for discharge.
Anzu obviously didn't believe this and checked the report carefully.
— But how is this possible?
Su Xiao walked out of the hospital door and immediately took out his phone, then dialed Yukinori Shinohara's number.
— Shinohara, I've been released from the hospital, and the plan to clean up District 14 can be resumed.
Su Xiao's words somewhat surprised Yukinori Shinohara.
— There's nothing wrong with your body?
— Yes.
— Well, then go back to the branch, the same investigators will go with you, but Suzuya's injuries haven't recovered yet, so he won't be able to participate in the cleanup of District 14.
Su Xiao took a taxi and headed to the branch office.
Twenty minutes later, he was standing in Yukinori Shinohara's office.
— The investigators are ready. I don't care where you get your information about where the ghouls are based. I only need the final result. I want to see a report that district 14 has become as safe as district 20.
The fourteenth district wasn't small. If it is cleared, it will help a large number of people find new housing.
— Got it, " Su Xiao said, and started walking out of the office.
— Byakuya, by the way, have you heard about this? The headquarters wants to take the first big step in the 11th district.
Su Xiao stopped walking.
Yukinori Shinohara was probably talking about the event that eventually led to Kaneki Ken being arrested, and the Ghoul Control Department and the Aogiri Tree fighting each other.
— Recently, District 11 has become more and more chaotic. An organization called the Aogiri Tree actually publicly attacked the local branch's investigators. In four days, I will leave for the 20th district. I do not know who will be transferred to the 14th district, so the cleanup of the 14th district should be completed as quickly as possible.
— Just because I support you doesn't mean that the other person will support you. I can understand your hatred of ghouls. I used to hunt ghouls with your father.
Yukinori Shinohara clearly didn't know that Su Xiao's current identity was forged by Paradise.
However, this misunderstanding was beneficial to Su Xiao, and he had no intention of correcting it.
— Four days? I'll try my best.
Soon after, Su Xiao left the office.
There wasn't much time. If Yukinori Shinohara is transferred to District 20, maybe something will happen.
No one could guarantee that the next boss of this branch would support his plan.
The investigators were already waiting in the lobby, and Akira Mado was in the front row.
Akira Mado looked a little different today — her eyes were dull, and her always-combed hair was casually tied up in a bun today.
— Akira Mado's eyes were red, and he could tell that she wasn't focused on this case.
— Su Xiao didn't ask Akira what had happened to her. After all, his assignment was more important.
According to the map created by Itori, large numbers of ghouls often gathered in a rotten building in the suburbs. Usually there were 200 to 300 ghouls hanging out there.
Both singles and small groups gathered there, and naturally there were several leaders.
This time, he wouldn't enter the building alone. There were too many ghouls there, so he would do it together with the Ghoul Control Department's investigators.
While Su Xiao was sitting there thinking about his plans, he suddenly heard someone sob.
Looking to the side, he saw that Akira had tears in her eyes.
Noticing Su Xiao's gaze, she turned her head away and quickly wiped away her tears.
— In your current state, your chance of surviving this sweep doesn't exceed 20%, " Su Xiao said calmly.
— U-u-u-u-u~... Akira couldn't hold back anymore and screamed. "Byakuya, death is the fate of all investigators?!
— Investigators kill ghouls, ghouls kill investigators. That's fair enough.
Su Xiao could roughly guess why Akira was like this.
In the original story, Kureo Mado, Akira Mado's father, has died.
And, apparently, it happened again.
After Kureo Mado Kaneki's death, Ken became a ghoul.
Currently, Kaneki Ken has just become part of the Anteiku coffee shop.».
However, Oomori had been killed by Su Xiao, so if Kaneki Ken was caught, then the question of torture was still in question.
The ghouls had contractors on their side, and as for the power that Kaneki Ken had after being tortured, there was a good chance that he would still get that power.
Under the cry of Akira, a group of the Ghoul Control Department drove up to the outskirts of the 14th district.
