I, Kiriko, the Cheater

Among the dozens of clown corpses, there was only one investigator in a white trench coat.

Shinohara Yuki looked down at his hands. Under the armor-shaped Quinker, he could feel a great increase in strength. When he cut open the bodies of three clowns in a row, he didn't feel the slightest sense of stagnation. .

but……

He has a very strange feeling.

He faintly felt something was wrong...

These clown ghouls are too weak.

It is of course a good thing that the enemy is weak, but the enemy he faced this time was too weak.

As Yuki Shinohara, who has personally experienced many large-scale annihilation battles such as the battle against the Bronze Tree Stronghold in the 15th district, the battle against the owls in the 20th district, the battle against the Yueshan family, and the Operation Liudao, each battle is accompanied by a lot of sacrifices.

It can be said that although these victories look great and spectacular, they are all piled up with the corpses of investigators.

But now...

The clowns who made trouble in the second district were almost expelled, and their own casualties were less than double digits.

What is this concept?

You must know that the clown is a ghoul organization that can even destroy the Hexiu clan. Although it is not clear whether there are other external forces interfering, since the clown can destroy the Hexiu clan, it proves that the clown is indeed a very threatening ghoul. kind of organization.

After all, the clown can do things that even the bronze tree can't do. Even if it is not certain that the clown must be stronger than the bronze tree, at least it can prove that the clown and the bronze tree are equal in strength.

Although the strength of these clowns in front of them is not good, it can be explained with cannon fodder, but the question is what is their intention?

In the hands of a skilled commander, cannon fodder is also useful.

He didn't think the leader of the clowns would be a fool.

Crazy maybe, but not stupid.

Shinohara Yuki really didn't like the current situation. He felt as if he was in a mist, and he couldn't see whether the front was a solid ground or an abyss.

This made him unable to recall three years ago.

The same was true of the Bronze Tree stronghold in District 15. At first they thought they could destroy the Bronze Tree in one go, but the reality is that what they eliminated was only the discarded children left by the Bronze Tree.

And all the elites of the Bronze Tree ran to attack the ghoul prison Kuikulia, released a lot of ghouls inside, and killed the warden (special class) of Kuikulia.

So will the Joker do the same now?

Let these cannon fodder be dispatched, in fact, to cover up some kind of action?

When Shinohara Yuki was thinking, the battle was over. When the last clown who tried to escape was pierced by the search officer with a Quinker spear in the chest, looking around, there was no more clown standing.

The investigators cheered.

Hearing the cheers of his subordinates, Shinohara Yuki could only feel an indescribable irritability.

Suddenly, he noticed the clown impaled by Quinker, reaching out to him, and the gesture looked a bit like... help?

Shinohara Xingji was startled, he hurried over and helped the clown up: "Hey."

But the clown was pierced through the heart by Quinker's spear, and died with a crooked neck.

"Master Shinohara, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing Shinohara Yuuki's reaction, the subordinates surrounded him in confusion.

And Shinohara Yuki didn't speak, he put his hand on the mask on the face of the dead clown, fumbled for a while, touched the edge of the mask, and then took it off.

When the face under the mask was exposed to the air, Shinohara Yuki felt that his heart almost stopped.

And the investigators who surrounded him behind him also gasped involuntarily.

It's not because of how scary this face is, but because of...

It's just an ordinary human face.

The person who died was very young, probably in his twenties or less than thirty years old. He had an ordinary appearance and belonged to the common people.

His lips were stitched together by someone. Apart from this, the most important thing is that his eyes are normal.

As we all know, the easiest and most intuitive way to distinguish humans from ghouls is Heyan and Hewei.

But this dead clown didn't have special eyes, just normal eyes.

Shinohara Yuki put down the dead clown, walked over, and uncovered the mask on another clown's corpse.

And under this mask, there is also a face without Heyan.

Shinohara Yuuki had a gloomy face and didn't speak, but put down this corpse again and ran towards another corpse.

At this time, the other investigators also realized something, and dispersed to uncover the mask on the face of the clown they killed just now.

As more masks are unmasked, the truth becomes harsher.

Among the dozens of clowns killed by them, except for a few who were indeed ghouls, all of them were human beings.

It's just that the ghoul's mouth is normal, while the human's lips are all hand-touched and sewn up with thread.

"We... all the people we killed just now were people?"

"How is it possible? Why do people pretend to be ghouls?"
