Chapter 70: Awkwardness
In District 11, inside the Aogiri Tree Building.
— Ah!~
Painful screams spread through the old building.
Contractors gathered on the first floor. The previous shout belonged to the main character of this world, Kaneki Ken.
The contractors, along with Ayato Kirishima, have captured Kaneki Ken for the Aogiri Tree in order to increase their strength and allow the story to go the right way..
They were different from Su Xiao. Su Xiao didn't care about outside events. He focused only on the task and did everything to ensure that it was completed in the shortest possible time.
He did everything to increase his own strength. He did not rely on the plot, because sooner or later something will eventually collapse.
— Is this really normal? Han Yu asked, the painful screams terrifying him.
Han Yu wondered what Kaneki Ken was feeling right now, for he kept letting out such a pained cry.
— Everything is fine. In the original, Oomori tortured him. Now Nico is torturing him. The way he torments people is somewhat similar to Oomori's methods.
These incessant shouts caused even the fire mage to be confused.
— Tell me, tell me, tell me! One thousand minus seven!
A loud shout reached the ears of many contractors...
— Kaneki, you're not dead, right?
The Fire Mage swallowed.
— This is the main character. He can't die.
The Mage and Han Yu fell silent.
The little girl behind many contractors, Si Luoluo, who still looked like Kanna Kamui, was visibly tense right now.
Many ignored her. She was ranked low in Han Yu's group.
— Any word on the monster from the Ghoul Control Department? The fire mage asked Han Yu, but was surprised when he heard the answer.
— Everything is quiet.
But right after saying that, Han Yu gave the fire mage a message.
«This guy has completely cleared the 14th district».
The fire mage's body tensed, and his head began to buzz.
He cleared the entire 14th district?
The fire Mage understood why Han Yu did this. The fewer contractors who know about it, the better, because such news would hit their morale hard.
Han Yu and the fire mage were the leaders of the two groups and made sure that the other contractors knew as little as possible.
This way they can get more benefits.
All the people were selfish, plus Han Yu and the fire mage created a temporary group instead of a permanent one.
Exploiting contractors in a temporary group was almost an unspoken rule for all leaders of such groups.
All the contractors actually knew that they would be used in such temporary groups, but they had no choice but to join the temporary group.
Many were not sure that they could survive in the new derivative world.
— The confrontation mission hasn't started yet. What is the progress of your group? We've already completed 50%, " the fire mage decided to change the subject.
— It's too hard to find investigators. We now have about 40%. Fortunately, the plot of District 11 began to come to life. We'll have a great opportunity soon, " Han Yu sighed.
Su Xiao's second main task was to kill the ghouls, while Han Yu and the other contractors on the ghoul side had to kill the investigators.
Of course, compared to the ghouls, there were far fewer investigators, but even so, each of them only needed to kill five investigators.
If they needed to kill as many investigators as the ghouls Su Xiao needed to kill, then all the investigators in Tokyo would be killed, but even so, they wouldn't be able to complete the task.
There were far fewer investigators than there were ghouls.
Xi Luoluo felt bored when she heard the discussion between the two of them.
She paid the money, but Han Yu didn't care that her part of the task was completed.
By now, the number of murders Xi Luoluo had committed was zero. When she gave him the money, Han Yu said to her, " Don't worry, you will have an opportunity in the future».
Xi Luoluo felt that Han Yu might have decided to deceive her.
Although she had paid the money and signed a contract with Han Yu, if an accident suddenly overtook her and she couldn't survive, this contract would be annulled.
Their contract only stipulated that Han Yu should help her complete the task.
Once Si Luoluo died, the contract would be annulled, and Han Yu would lose a small amount of coins.
If this was a normal situation, Han Yu wouldn't have done it, but Su Xiao made Han Yu feel a lot of pressure.
Han Yu wasn't interested in Xi Luoluo's Paradise coins. As for her life, Han Yu didn't even think about it.
They had one very strong enemy, and even though Han Yu and the fire mage had joined forces, they were still plotting behind each other's backs.
----
In the 20th district, inside the branch of the Department for Combating Ghouls.
After receiving the transfer order from the headquarters, Su Xiao hurried to the 20th district. Fortunately the 14th district was close to the 20th district and could be reached quickly by car.
Once in front of the branch building, Su Xiao stretched.
Previously, the main task was pressing on him and he was constantly in a tense state, but now he could pass the main task at any time, which allowed him to relax.
It was now five o'clock in the afternoon and the sun was shining softly on the surrounding area, making the streets turn a warm pale yellow.
In the park next to the branch, a few elderly people were drinking tea or chatting.
— What's a good day to train.
After Su Xiao came to this world, he was constantly fighting.
Previously, he had learned the basics in Paradise, but in this world, he had honed those basics in real battles.
Because of all these fights, Su Xiao felt that his sword skills had improved slightly, and the feeling that the sword was an extension of his arm was becoming more and more obvious.
— Byakuya — san, " the silhouette quickly approached him. Su Xiao subconsciously wanted to draw his sword, but he quickly saw a familiar person.
— Suzuya, " Su Xiao chuckled. He had a good impression of Juzo Suzuya. Thanks to the battles, they formed a very friendly relationship.
The friendship created during battles was much stronger than any other.
— Byakuya-san, why are you here?
— Just call me Byakuya. I was told to come to the 20th district.
— Byakuya-san, oh, Byakuya, can I show you to the conference room of this branch?
Su Xiao nodded and they soon entered the building together.
It wasn't until he entered the building that Su Xiao felt that something was wrong. Everywhere he went, people looked at him as a rare creature. The women even secretly took out their phones and filmed it.
In the conference room.
Itsuki Marude, a special class investigator, was holding a meeting.
Dozens of investigators were sitting in the conference room. Apart from Itsuki Marude, there were two special-class investigators present at the meeting.
Such meetings were rare.
Although Itsuki Marude was a special class investigator, he usually didn't participate in battles. His control skills were far more outstanding than his combat abilities.
Itsuki Marude only personally engaged in large-scale battles, as he could easily raise morale with his speech and lead other investigators along.
— Soon there will be a war between humans and ghouls. Give me the time of your lives. This is an order. You do not have the right to refuse! At the same time, I am announcing that the District 11 Emergency Team has been officially registered as an emergency response team....
*Pum!*
The doors of the conference room were opened without warning, and some investigators were surprised.
— Sorry, I'm Juzo Suzuya, Mr. Shinohara's subordinate. I was late because I got lost, " Suzuya said.
Su Xiao was standing behind Suzuya.
The conference room was dead silent.
