TTW Chapter 76: Anteiku Raid (5)

"Investigator Lin, you're amazing!" the young man exclaimed with excitement and admiration.

"You're my idol, Investigator Lin. Thank you for saving me!" he gratefully expressed.

"Be careful, Investigator Lin. Someone is coming from the side!" the young man cautioned eagerly.

Step by step, he quietly approached Lin Yi from behind, gripping a Quinque Dagger in his hand.

One, two, three steps.

The young man drew nearer. With just one step remaining, he suddenly lunged forward, aiming his dagger at Lin Yi's heart without hesitation.

"Pfft!"

The sound of the blade piercing flesh resonated through the air.

Lin Yi gazed at his assailant, his expression unchanged.

"So, you attacked me, Kichimura Washuu," Lin Yi remarked calmly.

Kichimura Washuu, taken aback by the revelation of his name, stared at Lin Yi in disbelief. He then glanced down at his own chest, where the sharp blade of Jörmungandr had pierced through.

His fierce expression transformed into astonishment and eventually gave way to anger.

"How is this possible? How did you discover my true identity?" he demanded.

"It's amusing how someone who hides in the shadows like a mouse thinks they are in control," Lin Yi mockingly replied.

"You!" Kichimura Washuu couldn't tolerate anyone looking down on him and his status.

As the CCG's chief chairman and the son of Tsuneyoshi Washuu, he had always been treated unfairly due to not being born to the main wife, which had deeply affected his personality.

"Boom!"

In the next instant, Kichimura Washuu ignored the broken blade still lodged in his chest and forcefully shattered it with his hand.

He freed himself and swiftly jumped back, creating distance between him and Lin Yi.

His anger had clouded his judgment.

Lin Yi was somewhat surprised. It was the first time Jörmungandr had been damaged. Kichimura Washuu was indeed exceptional.

In the original story, he defeated Eto Yoshimura without a scratch, proving himself to be an unstoppable force.

However, at that moment, after consuming countless kagune, Jörmungandr's blade rapidly healed.

"Ah!"

Kichimura Washuu endured the pain and forcefully pulled out the broken blade from his chest, discarding it.

He breathed heavily as the wound on his chest swiftly healed, showcasing a recovery ability similar to Kaneki's. His right eye gradually transformed, turning into a scarlet ghoul eye with bloodshot veins.

"Indeed, you possess Rize Kamishiro's Kagune as well," Lin Yi sneered, continuing to taunt. "You are utterly ridiculous, a complete joke. Your powerlessness has driven you to intentionally harm the woman you cherish. But now that I have control over Kaneki, what will you do?"

In a battle, the person who stays calm has an advantage. That's why Lin Yi had been trying to make his opponent angry.

Usually, Kichimura Washuu didn't let his emotions get the best of him. But this time, he was different because he had a weakness.

Kichimura Washuu loved Rize Kamishiro deeply, but he was also responsible for her death.

In the original story, Kichimura Washuu planned to make Kaneki go berserk and bring Rize back to life in a fantastical way. But now, Lin Yi's appearance had disrupted all his plans.

"I want you dead," Kichimura Washuu said with determination.

Now Kichimura Washuu wasn't afraid to reveal that he was a One-Eyed Ghoul. He had no way out.

"Hehe," Lin Yi smiled and raised Jörmungandr slowly.

His weapon could consume and evolve, but he had been keeping it a secret since the battle with Yoshimura.

His intention was to give Kichimura Washuu a grand gift.

"Swish!"

Kichimura Washuu made the first move. He rushed towards Lin Yi, and a kagune, similar to Kaneki's, instantly extended from his back.

Even before Kichimura Washuu reached Lin Yi, the kagune had already reached him.

Their weapons clashed, and both sides were surprised by each other's strength.

Kichimura Washuu even had the thought that if he didn't know Lin Yi was pure Chinese and not connected to the Washuu Clan, he would have suspected that Lin Yi was like Arima Kishou, an inhuman half-human or a disguised Ghoul.

Both sides were evenly matched, but then...

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a burst of high temperature came from Lin Yi's blade. Flames resembling molten lava spread through visible veins like blood vessels.

The intense heat distorted the area around the blade.

This was Tatara's power, but Tatara couldn't control the form of this kagune, no matter how powerful he was. Power is useless if you can't control it.

However, in Lin Yi's hands, this power had a completely different level of might.

Kichimura Washuu's eyes narrowed. He had researched Aogiri Tree and knew the identity and strength of its executives, including Lin Yi.

When the blade lit up, he recognized the power. Only one Ghoul could create flames with such high temperatures - Tatara!

"Boom!"

The kagune touching the blade melted instantly, but the power didn't stop there. With Lin Yi's swing, it turned into a sea of flames.

Kichimura Washuu barely avoided it, but where he had been standing, half of the rooftop had disappeared, melted away.

Cold sweat dripped from Kichimura Washuu's forehead. Even with his ability to regenerate, he wouldn't dare to withstand such an attack.

"So that's how it is, so that's how it is," Kichimura Washuu stared at the Quinque in Lin Yi's hand, recalling the reports from headquarters. This guy had deceived everyone.

The special weapon could internally destroy Ghoul Kagune. And it turned out that what Lin Yi held was a Ghoul Blade, capable of evolving through cannibalism.

This power, if obtained, would allow Kichimura Washuu to achieve anything he desired.

Greed filled Kichimura Washuu's eyes. Now he had one more reason to kill Lin Yi. With a sneer, six scaled kagune sprouted from his back.

Fun Fact: As the Chapter said, Kichimura Washuu loves Rize Kamishiro… his Paternal Half-Sister. Yes, Incest. Although he causes the death of Rize by dropping those steel beams. He wants to resurrect Rize by using Kaneki's… Body. Hmmm, I suppose whether he will be gay or not is not the strangest thing here. I mean, my guy uses Rize's organs and transplants them into himself, becoming a One-Eyed Ghoul. That's it. Weird knowledge.
