Chapter 5: The shock from Marutesai

“Ah?”

Lin Ze was slightly stunned, completely frozen by Kamishiro Rize's sudden confession.

He was confessed to?

He, a human, was confessed to by a Ghoul?

And it was Kamishiro Rize, the Big Eater, who considered dining a pleasure and enjoyment, who confessed to him?

Although she probably just saw him as an interesting, seemingly delicious piece of food.

But no matter what, he was still confessed to by a girl.

Perhaps because he had never imagined such a situation, Lin Ze was a bit slow to react.

The outrageousness of the current situation was no less than if Gecko, who had just died, were to stand up and dance while waving his hands.

“My name is Kamishiro Rize. Tell me your name, little one~”

Kamishiro Rize's beautiful eyes held a faint smile as she looked at Lin Ze, who was now as petrified as a block of wood.

“Lin Ze…”

Listening to the soft, enchanting, water-like voice beside his ear, it was hard not to focus.

Lin Ze slowly turned his head, calmly nodding.

“Lin Ze?”

“I’ve noted that name down. I didn’t expect such an interesting little one to appear among the human Investigators~”

Kamishiro Rize smiled sweetly, gently wrapping her arms around his neck.

“We’ll meet again, Lin Ze~”

“When that time comes, let’s have a good chat~”

Her voice, as melodious and charming as a silver bell, echoed in the air.

By the time Lin Ze came back to his senses, Rize had already vanished.

“She’s already gone?”

Lin Ze leaned against the wall, unable to help but cover his forehead.

He truly hadn't expected such a thing to happen.

No wonder Kaneki was so utterly captivated by Rize.

She was practically a succubus; who could resist that?

Thinking of this, Lin Ze felt a touch of emotion.

The situation just now was like 'Big Head Son, Small Head Dad'; he almost lost control.

However, it was precisely because of that moment that Lin Ze confirmed three very important points.

First, his attractiveness to Ghouls was very high, perhaps even higher than his attractiveness to humans.

Second, Rize was big; she felt bigger than she looked, and perhaps even bigger when touched.

Thinking of this, Lin Ze couldn't help but nod.

These two points were indeed very crucial, and he needed to pay close attention to them in the future.

But now, since the matter was over, shouldn't he report it to his superiors first?

Thinking of this, Lin Ze's thoughts returned to reality.

Looking at the bodies and blood everywhere, he walked straight to his deceased teammate.

“Got it!”

After a few searches, Lin Ze quickly pulled out a phone from his teammate's clothes.

“I’ll report to headquarters first. Have them send people over quickly, then we can call it a day.”

Lin Ze opened his contacts and dialed the number.

……………

CCG Headquarters.

“Damn it, what the hell is going on?!”

In the command center, Special Investigator Marude slammed his fist on the table.

Even the coffee cup on the desk was shaken off, shattering with a crisp sound.

“Why did the Big Eater, who’s always been in the 11th Ward, suddenly run off to the 20th Ward?!”

“And someone even sighted Jason, suspected to be from the 13th Ward, at the scene.”

“Two S-Level Ghouls at once! Such a small 20th Ward, yet so many important figures have gathered there!”

Special Investigator Marude clenched his fists tightly, looking at the Investigator interface that had lost contact.

His intuition told him that something big was about to happen!

“Send someone to check the situation. A remote check with a helicopter will suffice.”

Special Investigator Marude waved his hand, issuing an order to his subordinate behind him.

“Facing two S-Level Ghouls, the Investigators sent out this time will likely face more ill than good.”

Special Investigator Marude sat back in his chair, sighing, looking a bit fatigued.

After all, they were two S-rated Ghouls; how could they possibly win with just them?

“Special Investigator Marude, the Investigator we sent out just contacted headquarters!”

Just when he had completely given up hope, a subordinate’s surprised cry suddenly came from behind him.

“What?”

Hearing this, Special Investigator Marude was slightly stunned.

After he reacted, he immediately sprang up from his chair.

“Give me the phone!”

Special Investigator Marude snatched the phone from his subordinate's hand and put it to his ear.

“Hello, this is Special Investigator Marude.”

In an instant, almost everyone present simultaneously held their breath.

“Headquarters, this is Third-Class Investigator Lin Ze.”

A moment later, a lazy young voice came from the other end.

“Third-Class Lin Ze, are you still alive? What about your other teammates? Please report the situation immediately!”

The moment he heard the voice, a hint of joy flashed in Special Investigator Marude’s eyes.

He truly hadn't expected there to be a surviving Investigator at the scene.

“The situation at the scene?”

Lin Ze’s voice on the other end paused, then continued:

“All my teammates have been martyred. Only I am still alive.”

All teammates dead?

Only you survived?

After hearing this, Special Investigator Marude was slightly stunned, but quickly reacted.

Most likely, he escaped under the cover of his teammates to transmit information, right?

It also couldn't be ruled out that he escaped in the chaos when Jason and the Big Eater were fighting.

But no matter what, as long as one person was still alive, at least some information could still be obtained.

Thinking of this, Special Investigator Marude slightly relaxed.

“What about Jason and the Big Eater? Are they still in the building now? Or have they escaped?”

Special Investigator Marude gripped the receiver tightly, a hint of intensity flashing in his eyes.

“Jason and the Big Eater?”

“As for those two, I’ve driven them away, but the Big Eater got away.”

“However, Jason didn’t escape. I cut off his head.”

Listening to Lin Ze’s voice on the other end of the phone, as calm as if he were discussing daily life.

Everyone in the entire control room fell into a deathly silence.

Although it was only a few sentences, pieced together, they made little sense.

Two S-Level Ghouls being chased and hacked by a newly arrived Third-Class Investigator.

Then one escaped, and the other didn't escape and had its head cut off.

Was this even human language?

“Are you saying that you, alone, drove away both Ghouls?”

After taking a deep breath, Special Investigator Marude rubbed his temples.

For a moment, he felt that this Third-Class Lin Ze was playing a trick on him.

After all, even novels outside wouldn't dare to write such a plot.

“Mm.”

Lin Ze’s reply was still as calm as water.

“Where are you now?”

At this point, even if it was incredibly unbelievable, Special Investigator Marude could only choose to believe it.

“I’m currently on the upper floor of the Chihwa Building. Headquarters can send people directly.”

Lin Ze’s voice on the other end was still calm, only with a hint of fatigue.

“Wait there for a moment. Headquarters will send support immediately!”

“You’ve worked hard, Third-Class Lin Ze. Please wait patiently for a moment.”

After saying this, Special Investigator Marude hung up the phone, then stood up and issued orders to his subordinates behind him.

“Immediately, send people at once! The scene must be cordoned off at the first opportunity!”

Upon hearing the command, the subordinates all snapped back to attention and began their work, their movements highly coordinated.

“Special Investigator Marude, do you think what this Third-Class Lin Ze said is true?”

A subordinate beside him leaned over and asked in a low voice.

“I don’t know. We’ll only know once people arrive at the scene.”

Special Investigator Marude rubbed his temples, looking somewhat fatigued.

“All I know is, if it’s true, then our CCG has produced a genius.”

“A genius comparable to Special Class Investigator Arima…”
