After the night's operation, a shocking piece of news spread instantly across all divisions of the CCG. The newly appointed Special Class Investigator Abel had led a team to annihilate Aogiri Tree's stronghold in District 11. They killed numerous S-rated and SS-rated ghouls, including two SSS-rated ghouls known by the codename "Owl." 

It was only then that everyone realized there were actually two Owls. Kaneki Ken, the protagonist, was also imprisoned in the CCG's special detention facility. Those who had previously murmured doubts about his promotion instantly fell silent. With such military exploits, who could accuse him of nepotism? Suddenly, Abel became the most eye-catching and strongest Special Class Investigator in the CCG, even more so than Arima Kishou.

Once the news spread that Special Class Investigator Abel was determined to clean up District 11, the ghouls there began a mass exodus. After all, survival in a different place wasn't impossible; there was no need to stay and test their luck. The expected retaliation from the remnants of the Aogiri Tree never appeared, leaving everyone wondering if they had been frightened off or if there was some other plot brewing. Abel didn't care; he proved his fearlessness through his decisive actions. Every day, many ghouls hoping to escape notice were tracked down and found.

Gradually, District 11 quickly returned to its former tranquility, even becoming more stable than the more controlled districts. "It's about time," Abel uttered. "Time for what?" asked Arima Kishou curiously as he sipped tea with Abel. "Time to do something big." "Do you need help? Oh, I almost forgot, with your strength, you certainly don't need me slowing you down." "Glad you understand." 

At this moment, the person Abel was waiting for arrived. "Furuta Nimura, CCG Rank Three Investigator, it's an honor to meet Special Class Arima and Special Class Abel," a polite young man said as he saluted the two, his eyes revealing shyness and admiration like a rookie investigator meeting his idols. Had Abel not accidentally come across this guy's enlistment in the CCG system with his privileges, he might never have remembered him.

"Not bad, you've hidden yourself well, but you can't fool me," said Abel, cutting off any chance for an explanation as he slashed at him. Arima Kishou did not intervene. Furuta, without time to think and understanding that not resisting meant certain death, instinctively revealed his true power. His fierce kagune easily blocked Abel's slash. "Shall I call you Furuta Nimura, or Furuta Souta?" "You seem to know quite a bit, Special Class Abel. The show has only just begun, why the rush to seek death?" Furuta did not understand where things had gone wrong, but now that his identity was exposed, there was no choice but to kill the two of them right there.

To understand where Furuta's confidence came from would be quite a story. In short, he was also a subject of human experimentation and had been transformed into a one-eyed ghoul. Moreover, he engineered the steel beam incident that 'killed' Shirazu Reizei, leading to the tragic life of Kaneki. Furthermore, he considered his strength to surpass that of Arima Kishou. "Bad luck for you, I don't want to ruin the flowers and plants here, so I'll just use this move to finish you off," Abel said, having other matters to handle and not wanting to waste any more time. Then, "Makō Ho!" Time was frozen. Even though Abel could only maintain the freeze for five seconds at his limit, and couldn't use it again for 24 hours after, it was more than enough.

Within this frozen time and space, he was the only one who could move freely. Furuta was like a motionless target. Two seconds later, Abel lifted the time freeze. Just as the once high-and-mighty Furuta was about to take action, he found himself unable to move or even speak. *Pfft!* Warm blood splattered everywhere. Furuta was dismembered on the spot, his head separated from the upper and lower halves of his body.

"Was I killed?"

"How is this possible?"

"Why did this happen?"

With these three soul-searching questions, Furuta left the stage before causing too much trouble. Arima Kishou's gaze was fixed in shock, "This guy has become stronger; I didn't even see when he drew his sword."

"No, that's not right. He hasn't shown his full strength from the start!"

Abel stood up and stretched his muscles, "It's about time for a real human to take over as the director of the CCG. The rest is up to you."

"Arima, are you suggesting that you're going to..."

"Shush, let's keep it a secret for now. Remember to clean up the corpse."

Abel walked away. Arima Kishou could guess what he might be planning to do. In District 11, which had just been pacified, another piece of news shocked everyone who heard it! Special Inspector Abel went berserk, breaking into the CCG headquarters, killing many councilors and the incumbent director. Then, he slaughtered the entire Washuu family, with not even the CCG's Chief Washuu Yoshitoki escaping his murderous intent.

Once the news was out, the CCG was thrown into complete chaos. After all, who could have imagined that the Washuu family, which controlled the CCG, would be pure-blooded ghouls? A Ghoul Countermeasure Bureau led by ghouls was a joke! So, without hesitation, Abel erased them, sending all those high-ranking ghouls to hell.

Amid the turmoil, which was a natural and necessary pain to experience, Arima Kishou promptly stepped forward, stabilized the situation, and issued a wanted notice for the culprit. Of course, that notice was just for show. Its more significant purpose was to make a statement. It was also a kind of tacit understanding between Abel and him. Half-humans like Arima Kishou, who could eat normal human food, were acceptable. The others, not so much.

Having done all this, Abel, with a clear mind, no longer cared about how many stars he would get for the task and his consciousness returned to his original body, leaving behind a trail of various legends about him in that world.
