Chapter 856 The one-eyed reappearance

“…Unexpectedly, we have provoked a powerful trouble.”

After listening to the report from Investigator Aaron, the senior officials of the Countermeasures Bureau also frowned.

"What does it matter? I don't think the Inquisition did anything wrong."

 But soon, someone spoke.

"Those are the ghouls and their servants who deserve to die. If we get clues, wouldn't we eliminate them? In my opinion, the Tribunal's approach is very correct. If they are really the guardians of mankind as they say, organization, so wouldn’t it be a good thing to leave the ghouls to them?”

"However, the Inquisition's behavior is too cruel and may bring unimaginable consequences..."

"In that regard, we just need to use public opinion to block the intelligence. Originally, to deal with an enemy like the One-Eyed Owl, we had to block the entire neighborhood, evacuate a large number of civilians, and even lose a lot of manpower to achieve the goal. However, the Tribunal did not Being able to do this easily and even without any loss, compared to this, what is a mere public opinion? You don't still have that old-fashioned sense of territory, do you?"

For a time, the top management of the Countermeasures Bureau also started to argue. Some people thought that the actions of Duanmuhuai and the Tribunal were too unscrupulous and even a little wanton.

 But another group of people think that as long as the other party is dealing with ghouls, then it doesn't matter at all. After all, the Special Countermeasures Bureau exists to eliminate ghouls, and the interests of both parties are the same. If the Countermeasures Bureau had the power of the Inquisition, they would surely have taken similar actions long ago. Moreover, although the Inquisition killed a lot of people, they caused very little damage because of their strength.

As for the countermeasures bureau, it was impossible for them to uproot all the ghoul families based on last night's actions alone. Even killing one of them might require a lot of the countermeasures bureau's manpower. In contrast, the Inquisition was able to kill all the opponents with ease, and he and others only had to finish it off. Isn't this a good thing?

Of course, the final result of the discussion was to continue to cooperate with the Tribunal for the time being, and at the same time require them to report to the Countermeasures Bureau before taking action - after all, most investigators still hope that compared to boring reasons such as disrupting social order, See all the ghouls killed.

They themselves do not have this ability, but the Tribunal does, so they will naturally support the Tribunal.

In comparison, riots and the like can be solved by blocking information and controlling public opinion. It is better than killing a bunch of people in the countermeasures bureau every time.

So Aaron had to serve as the microphone again. Fortunately, Duanmuhuai didn't take it seriously.

"Well, if the Tribunal takes action, I will call you, but our actions are our own business, so even if the Countermeasures Bureau requests it, our Tribunal will not obey it."

 “Hey...this can be considered a progress to some extent.”

Hearing Duanmuhuai's answer, the Yamen Investigator sighed helplessly, while Duanmuhuai chuckled.

“By the way, by the way, Inspector Manado is hospitalized? Are you going to change your partner?”

"They said they would find me a new partner, but I'm still hesitant. After all, Mr. Manado...maybe he will get up from the hospital bed and return to the front line tomorrow."

"That's true. He is indeed tenacious. I heard that he seems to be recovering."

Duanmuhuai chatted with the Yamen investigator, while Mary followed behind them. The three of them arrived at the lobby on the first floor of the Countermeasures Bureau, and just as they were about to pass through the security gate Suddenly, a petite woman with green hair and glasses came over.

“Wow, hello, are you a search officer? If you don’t mind, can you answer a few questions for me?”

"Why?"

Facing the sudden appearance of the green-haired woman, Investigator Yamen was stunned for a moment. At this moment, he saw a staff member running over in a hurry, and Investigator Yamen hurriedly saluted him.

"Ah, hello, First Class Investigator Yamen. This lady is here to collect information..."

 “From materials?”

 Hearing what the female staff member said, Investigator Yamen frowned.

"But the basic policy of the Countermeasures Bureau does not allow the use of materials..."

"Why?"

Hearing the answer from Investigator Yamen, Mary was stunned for a moment, but she quickly closed her mouth and turned her head to look to the side.

 The female staff member gave a bitter smile.

  “Having said that, she is very famous...”

　　　…………”

Hearing this, Investigator Yamen looked at the latter again, and saw the green-haired woman smiling and waving to them.

　　…Okay, I understand, it’s just for a moment.”

 In the end, Investigator Yamen could only nod helplessly.

 Although Investigator Yamen hoped to end the collection of information as soon as possible, what he did not expect was that Duanmu Huai and Mary did not intend to leave, but followed them into the reception room next to them. This made Investigator Yamen very helpless, but he could not expose the existence of the Tribunal to the outside world... so he had to pretend that he had not seen it.

Then let’s fight it as quickly as possible.

Sitting at the table, looking at the green-haired woman opposite, Yamen coughed.

 “Basically speaking, we are not allowed to use materials... so...”

“Ah, please don’t worry, I just want to know a little something for the purpose of collecting material for the new work, so I plan to investigate the matter about ghouls.”

Hearing Yamen's answer, the green-haired woman smiled and waved her hands, while Mary's eyes flashed at this moment and she stared at her seriously. Duanmuhuai silently glanced at Mary beside him. It was rare for the latter to be so aggressive.

So that’s it, the subject matter is in conflict.

It is indeed a fight to the death.

 “Actually, it’s not a big deal.”

As she spoke, the green-haired woman turned the pen in her hand.

“I just want to know, what kind of existence do ghouls look like to investigators on the front line?”

 “Of course it is a danger, an existence that needs to be eliminated.”

Investigator Yamen gave the answer without hesitation.

"I see, a very standard answer... So personally, don't you think ghouls are similar to humans? They can also speak human language, and can communicate with people, and have their own ideas. What would it be like to fight against such an opponent?"

"Um…………"

Hearing this, Yamen began to think seriously, but before he could answer the question, he heard Duanmu Huai next to him sneer.

"So what? Even if they can speak human language and have human emotions and thoughts, those guys are still just monsters - just monsters who can speak human language."

 “Is it just a monster that can speak human language...?”

 “That’s right.”

Looking at the green-haired woman in front of him, Duanmu Huai sneered.

"Taking a step back, even if ghouls can communicate with humans, what's the point? Ghouls can only survive by eating humans. Can communication make them stop eating humans? What's the difference between this and letting them die? Different? In that case, why waste time communicating, the result is the same, it would be faster to kill them."

 “That’s it, that’s it…”

The green-haired woman nodded vigorously, turned her pen, and then recorded it in the notebook in front of her, while Duanmuhuai narrowed his eyes and stared at her.

 “Hey, do you mind if I ask you a question?”

 “Sure, do you have any questions?”

Hearing Duanmuhuai’s question, the green-haired girl with glasses also smiled, looked at Duanmuhuai and asked.

 “My question is simple.”

Before he finished speaking, Duanmu Huai's arm crossed the table, grabbed the green-haired woman's head, and lifted her up.

“Who are you so brave as a ghoul to come and cause trouble in front of our noses? Do you really think we are blind?!”

"What?"

Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, the Yamen investigator was shocked, while Mary jumped up. Although Mary had never communicated with Duanmu Huai from beginning to end, Mary had already guessed that there was something wrong with this woman. After all, based on Mary's understanding of Duanmu Huai, she knew that Duanmu Huai didn't like boring things. According to Duanmu Huai's usual reaction, when the green-haired woman found the Yamen investigator, he should have turned around and left.

But instead of leaving, Duanmuhuai followed him - this in itself speaks volumes.

 So compared to Amen, Mary was mentally prepared for this.

As for whether Duanmu Huai has fallen in love with this woman... Well, I have to say that Mary thinks it is unlikely.

 After all, there are many prettier and cuter women in the Tribunal than this green-haired woman.

 Now it seems that Mary’s judgment was correct.

Duanmuhuai was fast, and the green-haired woman was not slow either. Just as Duanmuhuai grabbed her head and lifted it up, he saw the green-haired woman's entire body expand rapidly. In a moment, she was several meters long, almost A ghoul as tall as Duanmu Huai.

Not only that, but what’s even more striking is that there is only one eye in the center of this ghoul’s head!

 “One-eyed owl? How is it possible?”

Seeing this scene, the Yamen investigator was immediately shocked. The one-eyed owl was already dead before, so why did another one-eyed owl appear?

What exactly is going on?

"boom!"

I saw the bone spurs behind the ghoul spread out instantly, breaking free from Duanmuhuai's restraints, and the next moment the huge ghoul wanted to escape.

Of course Duanmuhuai will not give it this chance.

"go to hell!"

With a roar, Duanmuhuai clenched his fist again and struck at the tall ghoul in front of him!
