As the saying goes, lolis have three virtues: they are delicate, soft-bodied, and easy to push over!
As long as she’s a loli, she can’t escape these three points.
Thinking of this, Lin Ze nodded, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes.
And Eto Yoshimura clearly fell into the category of loli.
After all, her figure and height were the best proof.
Although her true personality was indeed brutal and a bit yandere.
But Lin Ze wasn't panicking at all now; he was quite calm.
Because as long as he drew the Ma Talisman and Dog Talisman later.
By then, it would be infinite healing and being utterly unkillable.
Even if Jesus came, he couldn't kill himself, let alone Eto Yoshimura.
Thinking to himself, Lin Ze fell into contemplation.
He just didn't know if Eto Yoshimura had noticed him, or if she was interested in him or anything like that.
Based on what happened with Rize before, his attractiveness to Ghouls should be quite strong.
He just didn't know if the attraction of love was stronger, or the attraction of appetite...
【You have successfully completed the mission: The Story Between Me and Takatsuki Sen That Had to Be Told】
【Ding! Detected that Takatsuki Sen has developed a strong interest in you, exceeding the mission completion, reward upgrade!】
Upon hearing the system's prompt, Lin Ze's hanging heart finally died.
It seemed his performance just now must have landed him on Eto Yoshimura's must-eat list; he had been completely targeted.
Just thinking about it, Lin Ze felt a severe headache.
But since things had come to this, he might as well look at the reward; at least it wasn't a wasted trip.
【Reward is being issued...】
【You have successfully received the reward: Starburst Stream (Legendary Skill)】
【Starburst Stream (Legendary Skill): This is an unparalleled sword technique once used by a legendary figure.
After acquiring this skill, you need to prepare two long swords. Upon use, you will perform sixteen high-speed slashes in a short period. The power is immense, and the lethality is extremely strong.
Background Introduction: In the past, this legendary swordsman used this legendary sword technique to protect his companions. As long as you have enough conviction, it can cut down all enemies in front of you!】
Starburst Stream?
Upon hearing the system's prompt in his mind, Lin Ze was slightly stunned.
If he remembered correctly, wasn't this one of Kirito's skills in Sword Art Online?
He vaguely remembered how cool it looked the first time he saw it.
He didn't expect to get it in the world of Ghouls now.
Thinking to himself, a hint of excitement flashed in Lin Ze's eyes.
He couldn't even imagine how cool it would be when he used it.
However, he remembered this was a dual-wielding skill, and ordinary weapons wouldn't work.
But fortunately, he had killed Jason at the beginning, so he could directly use his Kagune to make dual swords.
Thinking of this, Lin Ze silently thanked Jason's spirit in heaven.
With a feeling of satisfaction and excitement, he quickly found the new home he had just moved into, according to his memory.
The building where his house was located was beautifully decorated, looking quite expensive.
And there were no bars or night markets nearby, so it was very quiet.
It was a very ideal and wonderful living environment.
However, after looking around, Lin always felt that something was strangely familiar.
After taking a few steps back, he followed his intuition and walked into a nearby street.
The further he walked in, the more familiar the surrounding buildings seemed to Lin Ze.
Until finally, he slowly slowed down and stopped.
“This is?”
Looking at the familiar sign in front of him, Lin Ze swallowed.
Was his luck a bit too good?
This building he had seen countless times in the anime, this elegant and retro decoration style.
That's right, the coffee shop in front of him was the Anteiku's base, and also the place where Ghouls in the 20th Ward usually gathered and exchanged information.
Antique!
Looking at the large characters on the sign, Lin Ze swallowed.
He hadn't expected that the largest Ghoul gathering place in the 20th Ward would be not far from his downstairs.
It seemed that it wouldn't be too difficult for him to come into contact with the characters from the anime in the future.
After all, female characters like Touka, Hinami, Kamishiro Rize, Itori, Eto Yoshimura, and Irimi Kaya had all appeared at Antique.
Thinking of this, Lin Ze swallowed, feeling a strange excitement.
After returning home, he took a hot shower, ate eight buckets of instant noodles, and then went straight to sleep.
.........
Early the next morning, Lin Ze was awakened by the alarm clock.
Turning off the alarm, he stumbled out of bed.
After washing up and changing his clothes, Lin Ze went straight out.
Arriving at the CCG Headquarters, perhaps in preparation for the commendation ceremony.
Although it was only nine in the morning, everyone was already busy.
Walking into his usual office, he could clearly feel that the atmosphere around him was a bit off.
After Lin Ze walked in, almost everyone's attention fell on him.
It seemed that everyone already knew what had happened last night.
But this was normal; after all, a Third-Class Investigator soloing two S-ranks—he only knew of Suzuya Juuzou and Arima Kishou who had this kind of strength.
“Lin Ze, you little rascal, you’re amazing, keeping such strength hidden from us all along.”
Just then, an Investigator put his arm around Lin Ze's neck from behind and leaned in with a smile.
“That’s right, it’s wrong of you not to tell us brothers when you have such strong abilities!”
“Exactly, exactly, you have to treat everyone to a meal after you get promoted this time!”
“Yes, yes, you choose the restaurant then!”
Soon, the surrounding Investigator colleagues also all laughed and joined in the fun, with a hint of admiration in their eyes.
This was normal; CCG Investigators were always on the verge of death when fighting Ghouls, and the mortality rate was very high.
So this place had always been a place where strength was respected, and powerful Investigators were often respected and admired.
“Third-Class Lin Ze, Special Investigator Marude is looking for you.”
Just then, a clerk from the lab report office knocked on the door and then walked in.
“Okay, I’ll be right there.”
After greeting his surrounding Investigators, Lin Ze squeezed out of the crowd.
On his way to Special Investigator Marude's office, both Investigators and clerks basically nodded to him in salute.
Even many First-Class Investigators and Associate Special Investigators actively greeted him.
It seems the shocking extent of this matter is even more incredible than I imagined.
Thinking to himself, Lin Ze knocked on the office door.
“Come in.”
Hearing the familiar yet low voice from inside, Lin Ze pushed the door open and walked in.
“Come, sit.”
Special Investigator Marude pointed to the chair in front of the desk, motioning for him to sit down.
“Special Investigator Marude.”
Lin Ze nodded, then sat down.
“You did an excellent job yesterday, not only eliminating one S-rank but also expelling another S-rank, clearing many threats for the Headquarters.”
Special Investigator Marude nodded, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes.
“The Headquarters will not let a talented and capable young man like you be buried.”
“We have already discussed it. Starting tomorrow, you will be a First-Class Investigator.”
First-Class Investigator?
Upon hearing this, Lin Ze was slightly stunned.
Was this progress a bit too fast?
After all, in his memory, he had only been at the CCG for less than half a year, right.
And to jump directly from Third-Class to First-Class Investigator in one go.
It seemed that the value of soloing two S-ranks was even higher than he had thought.
“Don’t be nervous, your strength has definitely met the standard for a First-Class Investigator.”
“Work hard, and the position of Special Investigator will be yours in the future.”
“Young man, I admire you greatly!”
Special Investigator Marude stood up and patted him on the shoulder.
“Besides that, does Special Investigator Marude have anything else to discuss with me?”
Lin Ze looked up, a hint of confusion and curiosity in his eyes.
He always felt that Special Investigator Marude sought him out today for more than just praise and commendation.
“It seems nothing can be hidden from you!”
Special Investigator Marude smiled, then shook his head, his hands clasped together on the table, his attitude becoming serious.
“Those guys in the 11th Ward have recently started organized activities. We suspect it might be a prelude to something, and a war breaking out is only a matter of time.”
“So...”
At this point, Special Investigator Marude looked up, a hint of seriousness flashing in his eyes.
“I hope you can improve your strength as much as possible during this period.”
“By then, you will need to be at the forefront.”
“Our job at the CCG is to expel all these Ghouls from Tokyo, leaving none behind!”
