 Chapter 849 Tracing

According to Investigator Mado, the movements of these ghouls have become increasingly unstable recently. Centered in Area 11, their activities of hunting humans have become more frequent and rampant, and several investigators have even been killed by them. Although it is unknown what these ghouls are planning, it is clear that a large-scale conflict between ghouls and humans is coming - which is why the Bureau of Special Countermeasures invited the Inquisition to assist them.

 At the moment, what Investigators Mado and Amen are tracking are ghouls known as S-class. According to the report, a few months ago, the S-class ghoul Jason in District 13 had contact with the S-class ghoul Da Ghoul in District 20, and they discovered the strange items left by Jason. Due to the current food crisis in the city, Ghouls are starting to become active, and they think this could be a precursor to something happening.

 Hence, the Special Countermeasures Bureau began to search for those powerful high-level ghouls and tried to get clues from them. That's why Amen and Mado went to Area 20 to search for information about Dahao and Jason.

Of course, since most ghouls wear masks to hide their true identities, it is actually difficult for investigators to identify ghouls even face to face, but it doesn’t matter, they have their own methods.

 Just like now.

 “Ugh…………!”

With a scream, a man wearing a pullover suddenly emerged from the shadows, opened his mouth and rushed toward the rickety figure in front of him.

Like a wild beast in the jungle or a greedy hyena.

 “Hey hey hey...”

However, facing the enemy who jumped up from behind and pounced on him like a wild beast, the hunched man just sneered. Then he turned around and suddenly raised his hand to wave - the next moment, the man's head was turned upside down. Fell to the ground.

 “I see, you’re luring the snake out of its hole.”

It was only then that Duanmuhuai, Mary, and Inspector Yamen emerged from the other side of the alley and walked up to the man.

From the appearance, this guy is almost the same as a human being, except that the whites of his eyes are black, and the pupils are red... The previous blow tore his body cleanly, if it weren't for Mato If the investigator had been merciful, he might have become a corpse long ago.

 “Yeah, these guys are like hungry wild dogs.”

Investigator Manado raised his head with a cold smile and looked at the trembling ghoul on the ground.

“For them, human flesh has a sweet taste like hamburger meat, so as long as they have the opportunity, they will never miss the opportunity to enjoy a free meal.”

　　After saying this, Inspector Mado raised his head and winked at Amen. The latter stepped forward and took out an evidence bag from his arms - there was something like a vise in it.

 “Do you know what this is?”

 “Huh? What, what?”

The ghoul in front of him seemed to be completely frightened by the two of them, staring at them blankly, not knowing what to say. Investigator Mado narrowed his eyes and stared at him like a snake.

“I’ll just ask again, have you seen anything similar to this?”

 “I, I don’t know! What is that?”

"Aha………"

 Hearing the ghoul's answer, Investigator Mado sighed.

“Did it fail? But it’s normal, then...”

As he spoke, Inspector Zhenhu raised his hand, but at this moment, Duanmuhuai spoke up.

"etc."

 “Oh? What’s the matter?”

 “Is this guy no longer of use to you?”

 “That’s right.”

 “Then, if you don’t mind, let me use it.”

As he said this, Duanmu Huai took out the oracle from his arms.

"This is?"

"Our Tribunal's gadget, as long as it can read the body characteristics and fluctuations of ghouls, it will search for similar things. Although luring snakes out of their holes is not bad, I think it would be better if we could directly pull them out. Interesting, isn’t it?”

 “This is really…”

Hearing Duanmuhuai's answer, Investigator Mando's eyes widened in surprise, and he stared at the oriole in Duanmuhuai's hand with a touch of interest.

"I didn't expect that you guys actually have such a good thing... Then, I'll leave it to you."

As he spoke, Inspector Mando stepped back, while Duanmuhuai took a step forward and looked coldly at the ghoul who fell on the ground. At this moment, the latter was trembling all over and terrified.

 “Wait, wait, what do you want to do? No, no, no……!”

However, before the ghoul had finished speaking, Duanmu Huai raised the oriole and inserted it directly into his brain.

 “Woo————!!”

At this moment, the ghoul's eyes suddenly widened, and his eyeballs almost protruded from the sockets. His whole body twisted uncontrollably. A smelly liquid and dark yellow color emerged from between his legs, and he screamed in agony. A sound came from his throat, and then he shook his legs like a dying frog, and then lost his breath completely.

It was only then that Duanmuhuai pulled out the auger that was covered in brain matter and checked the parameters on it.

"how?"

 “Basic parameters have been collected.”

 Duanmu Huai raised his head and pressed the button of the auspicious device. The next moment, a radar-like picture appeared on it, and then not far away, a light point was flashing continuously.

“It seems that according to the scans, there should be another ghoul near us.”

 “Oh haha——this is really a good thing.”

 Seeing this scene, Investigator Manado's eyes shone, and then he opened his mouth and showed a ferocious smile.

 “Let’s go, it looks like we’re going to be very busy tonight…”

I have to say that for Duanmuhuai, working with investigators is also a very new thing. Because in the west, most members of the special department are more responsible for behind the scenes, and the really difficult work is left to investigators. But it's obviously different here. The investigators will also face ghouls. Of course, relying solely on human weapons cannot defeat these monsters whose bodies are far stronger than humans, but for humans, the most important thing is never the body - but the mind.

These ghouls have something called Hezhong in their bodies. To put it simply, this thing is the source of the ghouls' power. These investigators take out the Hezhong from the bodies of the killed ghouls, and then make them into weapons with special abilities for use.

 Such a weapon can naturally break through the body defense of a ghoul.

 Proved once again that humans are the top predators in the world.

Not only that, as investigators, they are also very good.

 “Is this right here?”

Looking at the tin house not far away, Duanmuhuai asked, while the real household investigator beside him nodded.

“That’s right, according to the information provided by the garbage, only the doctors here can make this thing... Hehehe, I didn’t expect that the ghoul actually needs a doctor. It’s quite interesting, isn’t it?”

 “So we are waiting now?”

 “This thing was found where Jason met the great ghoul.”

Investigator Mado shook the plastic bag in his hand.

“In other words, as long as you stare here, you will definitely be able to find one of them.”

“Is this the S-class ghoul you’re talking about? It sounds like it’s a little troublesome. Do you need our help?”

As Duanmuhuai spoke, he moved his hands.

“No, please just watch on the sidelines with this young lady. Although I’m sorry, I don’t intend to give the prey to others.”

"I understand, then if you can't handle it, I'll take action again." Hearing the answer from Investigator Mado, Duanmuhuai shrugged his shoulders, and then walked back with Mary.

"boom!"

At this moment, suddenly, the wall of the iron house in front of him suddenly cracked, and then a man flew out of it wailing and landed at the feet of the two investigators.

That was a man wearing a white coat and a stethoscope. No matter how you looked at him, he was just an ordinary doctor. If you passed him on the street, I'm afraid no one would think he was a man-eating monster.

　　However, he was not the target that Mahu and Amen were waiting for.

“It seems that we have not waited in vain, Mr. Yamen.”

Investigator Manado raised his head and stared at the hole in front of him. He saw a tall man with blond hair and a strong build wearing a white suit walking out of it.

 “Jason……”

Investigator Mando stared at the man in front of him and whispered to himself, then opened the box in his hand, revealing a strange, sword-like thing - that was Mando's weapon, Yu Hezi A weapon made specifically for use against ghouls.

“Let’s see what the big shots in District 13 are capable of!”

 The next moment, Mado and Amon raised their weapons and rushed towards the man in front of them.

　　Mato and Amon are both very good investigators.

 This point, Duanmu Huai and Mary have already discovered in the process of getting along with them. At least when facing ordinary ghouls, they can defeat them easily. Although their bodies and reactions are not as good as those of the ghouls, they can still compete with the ghouls with the help of their special weapons and experience.

 But the big guy in front of me is obviously of a different level.

 Under the joint attack of Mato and Amen, he was still able to dodge with ease with his hands in his pockets, looking like "I don't know what an opponent is."

In the final analysis, Yamen was still inexperienced. After fighting for a moment, he was kicked away by the opponent. Mado continued to fight with the man in front of him, but soon he also swung his sword in the air. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the food The corpse ghost also sneered and rushed towards Mado.

 However, just as the ghoul pounced on Mato, the sword in Mato's hand suddenly split, and then bound it like a hand, and then suddenly closed it!

 Succeeded!

 Seeing this scene, Investigator Mado was also secretly happy. However, things were completely beyond his expectation.

Just when the split sword blades were closing again, about to tear the man in front of him into pieces, strange wing-like entities suddenly appeared behind the man. They turned into shields, resisting those who tried to lock them. Blade. Then - completely break it apart.

 “Woo-ah——!”

 The next moment, Inspector Mado also flew away and landed heavily on the ground. Looking at the two investigators lying on the ground, the ghoul showed a proud smile.

 “But that’s it, the time has come, then…”

As he spoke, the ghoul glanced around. However, when he saw Mary standing not far away, the ghoul's eyes suddenly widened.

"What is this...this smell...why does it have such an attractive taste?!"

As he spoke, the ghoul opened his mouth, as if he had seen an extremely delicious meal, and even his saliva couldn't help but flow down.

 “Hey————!”

When she noticed the other party's gaze that seemed to be licking her body clean, Mary couldn't help but trembled and took a step back hurriedly, while Duanmu Huai whistled.

“Oh, by the way, I forgot. To the monsters in this world, you are just like Tang Monk.”

"you are mine!!"

Before he finished speaking, the ghoul suddenly dodged and jumped directly in front of Mary. He opened his hands, and the four tentacle-like wings behind him also spread out.

 “Let me enjoy your taste, woman!”

However, at the moment when the ghoul opened his mouth and tried to bite Mary, Duanmuhuai punched out and knocked her away.

 “Your opponent is me, lowly bastard.”

Looking at the big ghoul lying on the ground, Duanmuhuai waved his hands and clenched his fists, while Mary also hurriedly retreated behind him. It's not that Mary can't beat the big guy in front of her, but that his eyes are so disgusting. Just by being looked at by him, she feels as if those eyes have turned into tongues, licking her skin endlessly—— No girl can bear this feeling.

 Not to mention that the other party really wants to eat her.

 Well, literally.

 That's even worse.

"Who are you?"

At this moment, the big ghoul also stood up and stared at Duanmuhuai fiercely.

 “I’m not interested in a disgusting and unpalatable guy like you, get out of here!”

With the roar of the ghoul, the four wing-like tentacles behind him were extended again, directly stabbing Duanmu Huai's body. Seeing this scene, even Inspector Mado and Inspector Amen looked solemn. Do they know how powerful this thing is? You must know that even they were killed by S-class ghouls without wearing special armor. Such a blow is enough to completely penetrate the body and even tear it into pieces!

　　However - next, an unimaginable scene happened in front of them.

The tentacles that stretched out from the back of the ghoul, powerful enough to split the concrete in two, stopped in front of Duanmuhuai's clothes, as if they had hit a heavy city wall, unable to move forward at all. Every cent.

 At the same time, a voice sounded.

 “Who do you think is disgusting and unpalatable?”

Duanmu Huai raised his head with a cold face. He stretched out his hand and directly grabbed the four tentacles that were stabbing him. The sharp edges didn't even scratch the skin of Duanmu Huai's hands. He was killed by him like this. Catch it in your hands!

 “Do you think you’re going anywhere? You lowly, ugly bastard!”

The next moment, with Duanmu Huai's roar, the muscles in his hands bulged, and he suddenly pulled back with force, directly pulling the ghoul in front of him into the air. Duanmuhuai grasped the tentacle tightly and flicked it hard. The ghoul spun and flew towards Duanmuhuai like a yo-yo that was caught and thrown.

"you……!"

 Obviously, this scene was completely beyond the ghoul's expectations. He never imagined that this man, who had no weapons and looked like an ordinary human being, would actually have power far beyond his own!

 “Go to hell, you bitch!”

Duanmuhuai clenched his right fist and punched the ghoul's cheek. With a crisp sound of fracture, the entire skull of the ghoul's head was directly broken into pieces by Duanmuhuai's blow. The face was quickly distorted and deformed, the skin and flesh were torn, and in the blink of an eye, the head turned into a rotten and sunken watermelon.

 But this is obviously not over yet.

 “It’s just you?!”

Duanmu Huai punched out again, knocking the ghoul to the ground. Then he stepped on the opponent's body and lifted it hard with both hands!

“You’re a man-eating monster? How dare you talk nonsense to me?!”

Duanmu Huai roared angrily and lifted his hands hard, and he forcefully pulled out the four tentacles behind the ghoul from his spine, as if he were grabbing leaves from the ground and pulling them out by the roots!

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!"

For ghouls, their crotches and tentacles are their roots, and Duanmu Huai's blow was like ripping out their hearts. Even that terrifying S-class ghoul, At this moment, he also let out an uncontrollable scream. However, Duanmu Huai turned a deaf ear. He threw away the limp tentacles in his hands, then stretched out his right hand and pointed directly at the ghoul's back. His iron-like fingers tore apart the ghoul, which could not even be hit by bullets. The skin and muscles penetrated deep inside, grabbing his spine, and then Duanmuhuai pulled hard——! The white spine was just taken out of the ghoul's body!

 “Go to hell, you lowly bastard!”

Subsequently, Duanmuhuai lifted up the spine that still had flesh and blood, looked coldly at the piece of flesh wailing at his feet, and stabbed it **** the head!

"boom!"

The spine penetrated directly through the ghoul's head and penetrated deep into the ground, nailing it to the ground. At this moment, the ghoul's wailing sound was also interrupted and turned into a silent corpse.

　　　…………”

 Seeing this scene, everyone swallowed involuntarily.

 At this moment, they dared not say anything.
