TTW Chapter 78: Anteiku Raid (7)
Kichimura Washuu has already cast aside his dignity and disregarded the footsteps of Lin Yi, who is like the god of death.
In just a short distance of a dozen meters, he crawled for a long time and then pounced like a madman, even devouring the clothes along with the flesh and blood.
"You look like a dog," Lin Yi gave his final evaluation, slowly lifting up Jörmungandr. The sharp blade was raised, and he could already feel the excitement of his Quinque.
Just now, Jörmungandr consumed a lot of energy to offset the impact of falling from the building, so it urgently needed replenishment.
Kichimura Washuu, who was still devouring the corpses, had red eyes full of tears. He already knew what he was facing but was deceiving himself.
Without hesitation, the sharp blade fell, piercing his chest once again.
Countless RC cells instantly spread out and began devouring his kagune blood.
Kichimura Washuu's kagune quality was very high, or rather, he was already no less than an SSS-rank ghoul. Until the opponent turned into a corpse, Lin Yi clearly felt that Jörmungandr had significantly improved.
Then, Lin Yi turned back to the building, where Yoshimura's corpse still lay.
He could feel that Jörmungandr was not far from transforming into a "dragon."
On the other side,
The main battlefield, due to simultaneous battles with the Black Dog, Devil Ape, and Aogiri Tree organizations, the pressure on the CCG had suddenly increased.
Even though all the special investigators except for Lin Yi and Kishou Arima had been deployed to the war, they were still somewhat stretched.
In just a few hours of battle, the CCG had already suffered hundreds of casualties.
It should be known that becoming an investigator requires strict selection and training, so this was already a significant loss.
"What's the situation now?"
Inside the command vehicle, Marude anxiously asked while looking at the monitoring screens of the ongoing battles.
With both hands crossed, Yoshitoki Washuu's expression was also unpleasant.
"Commander Marude, Investigator Lin has already dealt with the Owls, but it seems that someone is hindering him, and he can't provide support at the moment."
"Besides the Owls, who else is there?"
Marude couldn't understand, but he had also seen the flames from the building just now.
He turned to look at Yoshitoki Washuu and hurriedly asked, "Director, when will Arima arrive? Kiyoko Aura's side needs support; she can't hold on much longer."
Yoshitoki Washuu shook his head, his expression serious.
According to reason, Arima should have already arrived, but since he hadn't come yet, there must be some special situation that he didn't know about.
Although he didn't know what had happened, he had a faint feeling that something was not right.
"Commander Marude, this is Seidou Takizawa. The Western Front team has encountered a large number of ghouls. Requesting support, requesting support."
"Ah..."
A cry of agony came through the radio.
Marude angrily punched the monitor in the control room.
"Send my personal guard over."
Yoshitoki Washuu spoke up.
Marude was taken aback for a moment, wanting to advise against it, but he gritted his teeth and didn't say anything. He couldn't just watch his colleagues fall one by one.
After receiving permission, Marude immediately picked up the radio and issued orders.
"Medical team, medical team, come quickly."
Slightly calming down, Marude heard a commotion outside. He quickly opened the command vehicle to reprimand them.
But he saw several rookie investigators carrying a stretcher, bringing a green-haired girl. The girl had a wound on her abdomen, and blood stains could be seen through her clothes.
"What's going on?"
"Commander Marude!"
The two rookie investigators were startled when they saw Marude and quickly saluted. Then they answered, "We are responsible for logistical support, and we found her by the roadside while delivering supplies to the third-line unit. She might have been injured by ghouls."
"Weren't evacuation orders issued in advance to evacuate civilians? Why are there civilians in the combat zone?"
Marude's anger surged, but he couldn't manage it now and could only call for medical assistance.
The green-haired girl was none other than Eto Yoshimura. At this moment, her face was pale and weak as she lay on the stretcher.
Yoshitoki Washuu also rushed over to inspect her.
"Young lady, hold on. Let me check your wound first." The medical staff spoke gently because Eto Yoshimura's current appearance was that of a harmless little girl.
Eto Yoshimura nodded and allowed the medical staff to lift her clothes, but they saw a smooth and white abdomen without any wounds.
The doctor was also taken aback.
"Young lady, it seems you were just frightened. You're not injured."
Upon hearing this, Eto Yoshimura lowered her head and smiled with narrowed eyes.
"Oh, I forgot. The wound will heal quickly."
After speaking, her eyes suddenly turned red, and the crimson eyes were particularly noticeable in the darkness. Her speed increased, and no one even had time to react.
Eto Yoshimura rushed to Yoshitoki Washuu's front, her snow-white palm like a sword, piercing through Yoshitoki Washuu's abdomen.
"Director!"
Marude was also slow to react. Although he was a special investigator, he was the only one who didn't advance based on his abilities but rather became a special investigator based on his battlefield command ability and achievements.
Faced with Eto Yoshimura's speed, he couldn't stop her in time.
Seeing Yoshitoki Washuu pierced through the abdomen, Marude's eyes turned bloodshot. He immediately drew a pistol from his waist and aimed it directly at Eto Yoshimura's head.
But Eto Yoshimura acted as if she hadn't heard and just sneered at Yoshitoki Washuu, who was playing dead in front of her.
"If you keep pretending, I'll eat you."
Upon hearing this, Yoshitoki Washuu also knew that he couldn't pretend anymore. He suddenly raised his head, his crimson eyes equally visible, and then he violently attacked, extending his hand into claws and grabbing at Eto Yoshimura's neck.
