Chapter 139
He held it tightly with his left hand without letting go, and fired the flamethrower directly against his face with his other hand.
boom--!
Bright flames burst out of the body, and even the wall behind was melted to create a hole.
As for He Xiuji, who was still in the category of carbon-based organisms, he was burned off the lower half of his body on the spot when faced with flames that could easily melt even steel.
The remaining half of the body also exuded a mushy smell after exiting the Hezhe state.
".....pill....."
An unconscious groan of pain came from his throat...but there was no need for rescue.
Although the vitality of ghouls is indeed powerful, they are still in the category of biological beings.
The organs in the body have reached seven levels of maturity, and now it can basically be sentenced to death.
"This, this is...?"
Still not recovering from the drastic change in the situation, Maru Tezhai stared at the mechanical weirdo in front of him in surprise.
Kotaro Armen was even more shocked.
The other investigators also experienced a brief shock, then picked up Kuink in their hands and became wary of her.
"Uh, can Mr. Marate please stop doing this? If possible, I don't really want to fight with you all... Long time no see, Mr. Amen."
He made a somewhat distressed sound, and then waved his hand towards Amen Kotaro who was standing by the wall.
"Yibing?"
The familiar way of speaking, as well as the experience of seeing the other party transform into a Burning Slammer in Cuquelia before, instantly reminded him of one of his former partners who was somewhat inconsistent.
But he didn't let his guard down.
Although they were former companions, after the other party joined the Bronze Tree, their positions have become different.
"Where's Akatsuki? What did you do to her?"
"Xiao's words are safe now... No matter what, Xiao is my friend, and I will not hurt Xiao."
Hearing this, Armen Kotaro breathed a sigh of relief.
But Marutesai on the side curled his lips in displeasure: "Hey, did that guy Ishimori send you here? What does he want to do..."
But at this moment, a search officer broke in from the outside with a panicked tone.
"Maru, Maru Te, etc.! This is bad!"
It seemed as if he had seen something extremely terrifying, with a look of horror on his face.
"What's wrong? Are you in a panic?"
"Tokyo! Over there in Tokyo! Just now, something strange appeared in the city!"
"weird stuff?"
He frowned. Although this place was not far from the city, it wasn't that close... What on earth did he see that made him so frightened?
Yi Bingru didn't care about it anymore. She didn't have any desire to fight anyway, so it didn't matter if she ignored her for the time being.
Taking the telescope from the intruding investigator, he strode to the window and looked toward the city.
Then, he showed an expression that was almost the same as that of the investigator.
The originally brightly lit city was now dim. A huge snake-like creature with multiple eye structures on its body was ravaging the city.
Everywhere he went, everything was in ruins.
"What the hell is that monster...?"
Although there was only the sound of the waves outside, there seemed to be the screams of countless people echoing in my ears.
Putting down the telescope in his hand, suppressing the anger in his heart, he asked tremblingly: "Is this the purpose of the bronze tree? To create that kind of monster!"
"Eh? That Special Marate, what are you talking about? Purpose? Monster?"
Lin Qiao made an unintelligible sound. The purpose of Lin Qiao asking her to come over was just to let her use the miniature camera she carried with her to record the entire process of the other party's arrest and Xiuji.
At most, it's just a stab at He Xiujishi... She's really confused when you take the blame.
...
It took a while to explain, but seeing Maru Tezai's dubious look, he didn't seem to completely believe her words.
At the same time, everyone present also figured out what the monster he was talking about was.
Precisely because of the greater threat of "dragon", the tense atmosphere before is now better... but only compared to before.
In fact, if conditions hadn't prevented it, everyone present probably wouldn't have minded taking down her traitor.
Just when she was debating whether to use the smoke gun to leave first, Lin Qiao's voice came from the communication in the command room at the right time.
Marutesai handed the communicator to her impatiently.
"Mr. Ishimori, the things you gave me before have been completed."
"That doesn't matter. It's you. You're not injured, right?" Concerned words came from inside... I felt a little happy inside.
"Yeah, I'm fine."
"That's good. I'll go find you in a moment. Are you still in the transformed state? It's best not to cancel the transformation just in case..."
After a few words of warning to prevent the other party from letting down their guard because they saw an acquaintance, he said: "That's pretty much it. Then just give the communicator to the magical girl over there."
"..."
Who is the magical girl? ?
Recalling that not only was the other party videotaping him peeing all over his body, but also doing the embarrassing act of transforming into a magical girl in front of his long-time friend, his old face became like a red-hot iron.
Damn you, Red Superman!
Chapter 151 The Battle of Liudao ends in a tailspin
Roughly taking the communicator from Yi Bingru and putting it to his ear, Marute Sai said impatiently: "What's the matter?"
"Tsk tsk, don't be so aggressive... Anyway, I'll be frank. I think you should have seen the dragon - the monster in Tokyo."
"So in order to reduce the scope of the next disaster and for love and peace, how about we cooperate?"
"--Bronze Tree and CCG."
Marute Sai frowned and listened to Lin Qiao's request to join forces with the monster that destroyed Tokyo, and flatly refused: "Impossible!"
No matter whether Bronze Tree has evil intentions.
If that were to happen, CCG would be completely finished!
If the police and the thieves are brothers, then in the eyes of others, is there any trust in the former?
"And why do you know about that monster——dragon?"
"I'm sorry to tell you about the intelligence methods."
"Wasn't it made by the bronze tree?"
"If it was, we wouldn't have cooperated with you... To be precise, it was the work of the Shu family. The ghoul organization Joker knows about it, right? That thing was made by their branch member Furuta Nifuku and Joker together."
After briefly explaining the doorway, Lin Qiao's helpless voice came from the other side.
"And think about it with your big and small heads. With the cultural level of ghouls, can they create such biological weapons that require extremely high biological and medical knowledge?"
"....."
The corners of his eyes jumped up, and Marute Sai's expression suddenly became ugly as if he had eaten a mouthful of olege.
That being said, let's put aside the Tsukiyama family and the Shu family, these two examples of people who have mixed into the upper class of humans.
Among normal ghouls, it is already very rare to have a college student like Nishio Nishiki.
It's not an exaggeration to say that the probability is one in ten thousand.
Moreover, considering his level of researching a ghoul's alternative food, it would be more realistic to expect him to take out a ring and transform into a wizard to create such a giant monster.
"But since the cooperation is not possible, let's take a step back."
"Before solving the monster, the bronze tree ghouls will not take the initiative to attack CCG, nor will they cause any trouble; in exchange, you can't attack us either."
"In general, we should ignore each other temporarily and reach a peaceful state of hostility but not war, how about it?"
Faced with Lin Qiao's proposal, Marute Sai did not choose to refuse directly, but carefully considered it in his heart.
This is indeed very tempting.
Even though the dragon has stopped moving now, and its huge body is sleeping in the city in an almost twisted posture, no one can guarantee that the thing will always be quiet.
It can be foreseen that the bastard named Furuta Nifuku would never create such a thing just to add a new landscape to Tokyo.
So whether it is to reduce the losses caused by the disaster or to save the lives of citizens, it must be resolved quickly.
Not to mention that they just experienced a big battle.
Although the ghouls on the island were all abandoned by the bronze tree, and there was not even a high-end combat force, they still lost a lot of people... It is not an exaggeration to say that they were exhausted.
If they had to disperse their energy to deal with the bronze tree at this time...
History has clearly shown the consequences of multi-line operations. It would be better to avoid being attacked from both sides.
But——
After a long silence, Marute Sai sighed helplessly like a eunuch who passed by a brothel after his penis was cut off:
"Although I really want to agree with you from a personal point of view, unfortunately, I can't represent the opinion of CCG..."
Although he is a special class, he is only a special class.
After the collective defeat of the Shu family, the one who has the right to make the decision directly is the prime minister... Oh, by the way, the prime minister also knelt.
The current acting prime minister is the victim who was temporarily chosen to take the blame. It is hard to say whether he can be promoted to the official position, but he just doesn't reincarnate in the end.
After that, it was the special meeting composed of the seven of them - even if he agreed, it would only count as one vote.
"If the other few people disappear, do you think it will work?"
As soon as he said this, the few special people who were tied up in the air by him with tortoise shells tightened their muscles.
"I warn you, don't mess around!"
"Just talking, just talking, don't take it seriously... Anyway, just don't object."
Ignoring Marutesai's warning, Lin Qiao laughed it off.
As his fingers flew up and down, the spider silk tied around the people seemed to have life, forcibly pulling their bodies, constantly changing their postures in the air.
He took out his mobile phone and pointed it at a few people. As Lin Qiao said "Smallusmallus", the flash light came on.
Shinohara Yukinori and others who were hung up showed humiliated eyes.
"By the way, don't think of putting the blame on us for the extermination of the He Xiu family. If that's the case, I'm afraid I can only go down the path of a terrorist to the end."
If you want to compete with CCG in the control of public opinion, there is no way to compare.
Even if the video of Marutesai arresting He Xiuji is uploaded to the Internet, the effect it can have is probably extremely limited.
In this case, just use violence to let the other party know the limit.
Listening to the tone of the communicator that doesn't sound like a threat at all, but rather like an appointment to play games after school, Marutesai raised his eyebrows.
But he didn't dare to take the other's words as a joke.
At least the other party really had the ability to destroy them all - and if he really wanted to, he could completely create an obedient "Marutesai".
.......
When the first ray of dawn broke through the sky, the darkness gradually receded.
The Battle of Ryujima ended with CCG's complete victory.
But it was different from any large-scale crusade in the past.
After the order to withdraw the troops was issued, there was neither the joy of victory in the war nor the relief of surviving by chance on people's faces.
