The next day, morning.
After getting up and washing up, Lin Ze arrived at the CCG Headquarters.
After waiting downstairs for a while until everyone had arrived, they left the Headquarters and drove to what was currently the most dangerous place in all of Tokyo.
The 11th Ward, also Tokyo's Ota Ward, was once just a territory of ordinary Ghouls.
Everything here changed after Rize arrived.
Because she hunted indiscriminately and killed without restraint, disrupting the balance here, she was quickly targeted by the CCG.
After that, Rize counter-killed the boss of the 11th Ward and left here to go to the 20th Ward.
After she left, Banjo Kazuichi tried to integrate the entire 11th Ward, wanting to return to peace.
However, the 11th Ward, this piece of lucrative territory, was soon targeted by Aogiri Tree. Banjo tried to resist, but due to his weak strength, he barely caused any stir.
The 11th Ward was quickly and rightfully taken by Aogiri Tree, and even Banjo became a subordinate of Kirishima Ayato.
After the 11th Ward was controlled by Aogiri Tree, there were constant minor skirmishes between them and the CCG.
Until recently, they began to slaughter the Investigators of the 11th Ward branch on a large scale, completely tearing off all pretense of civility.
Moreover, if we compare the current situation with the progress in the anime.
It's estimated that in a few days, the 11th Ward branch will exist in name only.
Thinking this, Lin Ze looked out the car window at the scenery.
"Senior, what are you looking at?"
Suzuya Juuzou leaned over, a hint of curiosity flashing in her beautiful eyes.
"I'm observing the situation outside and the number of Ghouls."
Lin Ze nodded, saying casually.
"Can you observe the Ghouls outside from in here?"
Suzuya Juuzou let out a light 'hmm', her delicate and lovely face full of curiosity.
"Yes, since just now, the number of Ghouls in this vicinity has significantly increased."
Lin Ze nodded, his eyes gradually turning cold.
There's no mistake, the Ghouls here are not ordinary Ghouls, but Ghouls controlled by Aogiri Tree.
Lin Ze could feel a hint of bone-chilling killing intent mixed in the air.
And this level of killing intent is not something ordinary Ghouls possess.
It seems the situation in the 11th Ward is indeed not optimistic; there's this level of killing intent even during the day.
It's probably only a matter of time before it falls.
Thinking this, Lin Ze leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes.
But it doesn't matter anyway; his mission is to rescue the surviving Investigators of the branch.
If anyone blocks their way, he can just tear them all apart.
Soon, the car stopped by the side of the road.
"Superior Lize, we've arrived at the 11th Ward."
The CCG clerk driving in the front turned his head, a hint of respect in his eyes.
To prevent the car from being attacked midway, they had to stop here.
"Have we arrived?"
Hearing this, Lin Ze opened his eyes, then pulled open the car door and got out.
As the car door opened, Suzuya Juuzou instantly jumped out of the car.
After that, Ihei Hairu and Mado Akira also elegantly stepped out of the car.
"Now you need to be careful; there are a lot of Ghouls nearby."
Lin Ze looked around and said to those behind him.
"I...I'll try my best!"
Anjiu Nairo and Anjiu Heina, the two sisters, lightly clenched their small fists, cheering themselves on, looking very cute.
"Wow, is this the 11th Ward?"
"I've never been here before, it's so fun~"
Suzuya Juuzou curiously surveyed everything around her, a hint of interest flickering in her beautiful eyes.
Just like that, the group began to advance towards the branch's location.
Along the way, they saw many incomplete corpses.
Some were civilians, some were Investigators wearing CCG uniforms, but their deaths were all gruesome.
"The situation here is even worse than I imagined."
Looking at the dismembered bodies by the roadside, Mado Akira's delicate brows furrowed slightly.
The situation was indeed very bad, and the number of Ghouls was also very high.
Currently, there were no less than ten observing them secretly from the surroundings.
However, Lin Ze had the passive skill of 'Blood Demon's Wrath' active, with a faint blood aura swirling around him.
It was almost imperceptible to the naked eye, but Ghouls could feel this blood aura.
However, what they felt was not a fragrance, but a powerful sense of oppression.
The suffocating oppression made them instinctively choose to retreat and avoid.
Because of this, no Ghoul dared to jump out and cause trouble so far.
But Lin Ze knew that it couldn't go on like this forever.
After all, there are also fearless idiots among Ghouls, and when that happens, he'll have to take action himself to kill them.
"Those people are wearing Dove uniforms, they must have been sent from other wards, right?"
"We've almost killed all the Doves in the 11th Ward recently, and they still dare to send people over, isn't this just asking for death?"
Just after the group left, the Ghouls in the shadows began to discuss in low voices.
"But did you notice? That white-haired kid among them should be the strongest, he looks especially powerful."
"Yeah, I've never felt such a strong sense of oppression in my life; it made me gasp for breath."
At the mention of Lin Ze, the surrounding Ghouls all felt a suffocating sensation.
"But didn't Ayato-sama say to kill all Investigators upon sight?"
Just then, someone suddenly blurted out this question.
After the words fell, all the surrounding Ghouls fell silent.
After all, what was the difference between them fighting such a human and simply seeking death?
"Let's notify the other Ghouls; let them intercept those few people."
Adhering to the principle of 'let others die in my stead', the surrounding Ghouls quickly reached a consensus.
After deciding what to do, they instantly vanished into the shadows.
...
"Senior, it's so quiet, why isn't there a single Ghoul?"
Perhaps the journey had been too calm, Suzuya Juuzou had her hands behind her back, looking very bored.
"I don't know, maybe they're hiding from us?"
Lin Ze shook his head, his gaze sweeping over the dark corners around them.
If he hadn't kept his passive skill active, they would probably have been attacked ten or eight times already.
But just as he was thinking, a figure suddenly leaped out from mid-air.
"Die, you damn Investigators! I want you all to die!!!"
A tall, burly Ghoul with a Koukaku on his arm and a frenzied smile on his face directly pounced forward.
After the Ghouls in front reminded him that a few human Investigators had arrived, he instantly realized this was a good opportunity to earn merit.
"If I kill all of you, Ayato-sama will definitely promote me, hehehe~"
"So, all of you die! Let me tear you all to shreds!"
The tall Koukaku Ghoul laughed wildly, his crimson Kagune eyes sweeping over the group.
Soon, he identified the weakest one among them...
"You go die first, white-hair!"
This frail, feminine-looking white-haired kid in front of him, he must be the weakest one there.
To kill, one must always start by torturing the weakest; that's the most satisfying!
The Koukaku Ghoul grinned viciously and swung his Kagune, slashing down from above without hesitation.
"Finally, they've arrived..."
Lin Ze sighed, a hint of faint coldness in his eyes.
"If they didn't come soon, I'd die of boredom."
