Chapter 1257: Chapter 849: Investigation_2 Chapter 1257: Chapter 849: Investigation_2 “It seems that according to the scan, there should still be a Ghoul nearby.”

“Oh——this is really a good thing.”

Seeing this scene, Investigator Mahoru’s eyes lit up, and then he grinned, revealing a ferocious smile.

“Let’s go, it seems like tonight is going to be busy…”

It must be said that for Duanmu Huai, working with an investigator is a very novel experience. Because in the west, most of the members of the special departments are more responsible for behind-the-scenes work, and the really challenging jobs are left to the investigators. But here it’s different. The investigators also embark on battles with Ghouls. Of course, relying solely on human weapons isn’t enough to defeat these monsters whose bodies are far stronger than humans. But for humans, the most important thing is never the body–it’s the brain.

Inside the bodies of these Ghouls, there is something called a ‘Kakuja,’ which simply put, is the source of the Ghoul’s power. And these investigators extract Kakuja from the bodies of slain Ghouls, then craft it into weapons with special abilities for use.

Such weapons can naturally penetrate the defensive bodies of Ghouls.

This proves once again that humans are the supreme predators on this planet.

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

“Is it here?”

Looking at the sheet metal house not far away, Duanmu Huai asked, while Investigator Mahoru beside him nodded.

“Yes, according to the information provided by those trash, only the doctor here can make this… Hehe, who would have thought, Ghouls actually need doctors, quite interesting, isn’t it?”

“So, are we waiting now?”

“This was found at the place where Jason and Big Eater met.”

Investigator Mahoru shook the plastic bag in his hand.

“Which means, as long as we watch this place, we can definitely find one of them.”

“Is it the S-class Ghoul you mentioned? Sounds a bit troublesome, do you need our help?”

As Duanmu Huai spoke, he flexed his hands.

“No, please stand aside with Miss Mary here, I’m sorry but this prey I’ve got, I don’t intend to share.”

“I understand, then if you guys can’t handle it, I’ll step in.”

Hearing Investigator Mahoru’s response, Duanmu Huai shrugged and then retreated with Mary.

“Bang!!”

And just then, suddenly, the wall of the sheet metal house burst open, and following, a man moaning flew out of it, landing at the feet of two investigators.

He was a man wearing a white lab coat and a stethoscope, no matter how you looked at it, he was just an ordinary doctor, if you passed him on the street, you probably wouldn’t think he was a man-eating monster.

But the target Mahoru and Yamane were waiting for was not him.

“It looks like our wait was not in vain, Yamane-kun.”

Investigator Mahoru lifted his head to stare at the hole in front of him, where a tall blonde man, muscular, wearing a white suit, steps through it.

“Jason……”

Investigator Mahoru stared at the man in front of him, murmuring to himself. Then the box beside him opened, revealing a peculiar, sword-like object—-that was Mahoru’s weapon, forged from Kakuhou, specially designed for combat against Ghouls.

“Let’s see what the big shot from Ward 13 can do!”

The next moment, Mahoru and Yamane raised the weapons in their hands and charged towards the man in front.

Mahoru and Yamane were quite skilled investigators.

This point, Duanmu Huai and Mary had discovered while interacting with them. At least against ordinary Ghouls, they could easily conquer. Although their bodies and reactions were not as strong as Ghouls, they could still compete with Ghouls with the help of their special weapons and experience.

But the bulky guy in front was clearly on a different level.

Under the joint attack of Mahoru and Yamane, he was still able to dodge effortlessly with both hands in his pockets, acting as if he didn’t know what an ‘opponent’ was.

Yamane, ultimately still lacking in experience, was kicked flying by the other party after a brief tussle, while Mahoru continued to struggle with the man in front. But soon he too swung his sword into the air, and seizing this opportunity, the Ghoul sneered coldly and pounced on Mahoru.

However, just as the Ghoul pounced on Mahoru, the sword in Mahoru’s hand suddenly split apart, and then like a hand grabbing, it trapped him within it before fiercely closing!

Got him!

Seeing this, Investigator Mahoru also felt an inner rejoicing, but—-the situation took an entirely unexpected turn.

Just as the split sword blades were reuniting, about to shred the man in front to pieces, something resembling wings eerily appeared behind the man. They transformed into a set of shields, blocking the sword blades determined to lock down, and then—-completely shattered them.

“Oh—-!”

The very next moment, Investigator Mahoru was also sent flying, hitting the ground hard. While watching the two investigators lying on the ground, the Ghoul revealed a smug smile.

“That’s all, time’s up, so……”

While saying this, the Ghoul scanned around, however, when he saw Mary standing not far away, the Ghoul’s eyes suddenly widened.
