Touka Kirishima's questioning was completely ignored by Ōmori Yakumo.
"Speaking of which, I haven't tried torturing a mother and daughter, bound by blood, at the same time," Ōmori Yakumo said indifferently. "I feel like it would be a very wonderful experience."
He immediately stated his intention.
Anyway, he was fully confident in his strength. There was no way for the mother and daughter to escape; he would forcefully drag them back.
"Don't you dare hurt my daughter…" Ryoko Fueguchi's face instantly darkened as she stepped forward.
Although she was afraid, she would never let Hinami be harmed.
However, at this moment, Touka Kirishima raised a hand to stop Ryoko Fueguchi. "Aunt Ryoko, you two go first."
She realized that the guy in front of her was no ordinary Ghoul.
Her strength was not bad, so she wanted to stay and try her best to stop that guy, buying time for Aunt Ryoko and Hinami-meimei to escape.
"Go now!"
Seeing that Aunt Ryoko didn't immediately take Hinami-meimei and leave, Touka Kirishima emphasized again.
After much internal struggle, Ryoko Fueguchi still decided to take Hinami and leave this place first, delivering Hinami to a safe location before returning to help Touka deal with that "Gecko."
Ryoko Fueguchi pulled Fueguchi Hinami's hand and turned to run.
"Hmph, trying to escape?" Ōmori Yakumo scoffed and chased after them at an extremely fast speed.
Touka Kirishima wanted to stop Ōmori Yakumo and decisively released her Ukaku Kagune.
A wing-like Ukaku grew from her left side.
It was red like a maple leaf, mixed with a hint of purple, just like a burning flame, possessing a special kind of beauty.
In truth, Touka Kirishima's Ukaku should have been a pair of symmetrical wings, but her right Ukaku was incomplete, which meant only her left Ukaku could be used normally, naturally causing her strength to be greatly reduced.
This was likely because Touka Kirishima hadn't consumed fresh human flesh in too long. Ever since she joined "Anteiku," she, like Yoshimura Kuzen, only ate the decaying flesh of deceased humans.
Rotten flesh and fresh human flesh were definitely completely different, because the rc cells contained in rotten flesh would continuously decrease in activity over time.
If a Ghoul didn't regularly consume fresh human flesh, they couldn't maintain their RC cell count, so Touka Kirishima and Yoshimura Kuzen would only become weaker and weaker as time passed.
However, even so, they didn't want to hunt and harm innocent humans.
At this moment, Touka Kirishima fired her Ukaku towards Ōmori Yakumo, and a large number of purplish-red blades shot towards Ōmori Yakumo.
Ōmori Yakumo sneered and released his Kagune to block the Ukaku.
Although the weakness of his Rinkaku was that it was relatively fragile, the rc cells in his body were much stronger than Touka Kirishima's, and a Kagune's strength would also change with the increase or decrease of RC cell count.
As a result, even though Touka Kirishima's Ukaku was fast and accurate, it couldn't cause any effective damage to Ōmori Yakumo.
While blocking the Ukaku, Ōmori Yakumo rushed in front of Touka Kirishima in a flash, sweeping her away with a casual flick of his Kagune.
Moreover, Touka Kirishima flew in the direction of Ryoko Fueguchi and Fueguchi Hinami.
"Touka!" Seeing this, Ryoko Fueguchi couldn't ignore it.
She first let go of Hinami and then went to support Touka Kirishima.
"Aunt Ryoko, you two go!" Touka Kirishima said anxiously.
That single blow just now had already made her realize that the man's strength was incredibly high; she couldn't even seem to buy time.
"Don't fantasize, all of you stay." Ōmori Yakumo's speed was too fast. Just as Touka Kirishima barely managed to stabilize herself, he was already in front of her again.
He planned to incapacitate these three first, then take them back and torture them thoroughly.
A massive fist smashed towards Touka Kirishima. Having just regained her footing, she stumbled back a few more steps, and the Ukaku wrapped around her front to block the opponent's fist also felt numb and stinging from the impact.
In terms of both strength and Kagune toughness, Ōmori Yakumo completely overpowered Touka Kirishima.
At this moment, Ōmori Yakumo turned to attack Ryoko Fueguchi and Fueguchi Hinami. Fueguchi Hinami trembled slightly all over in fear, while Ryoko Fueguchi instinctively released her Kagune to protect her daughter.
Her Kagune belonged to the Koukaku type, taking the form of very large, moth-wing-shaped Kagune, somewhat like butterfly wings.
Her eyes simultaneously turned into crimson Kakuugan (Ghoul Eye), and her gaze instantly changed from somewhat soft and fearful to sharp and furious.
However, with Ryoko Fueguchi's strength, confronting the Half-Kakuja "Gecko" was clearly still hopeless.
Ōmori Yakumo very easily used his Rinkaku to pierce through Ryoko Fueguchi's Koukaku. The Koukaku, known for its hardness, appeared extremely fragile in front of "Gecko."
"Whoosh—" While defeating Ryoko Fueguchi, and just as Ōmori Yakumo was about to extend his demonic claws towards Fueguchi Hinami, he suddenly felt something stab the back of his head.
However, it only left a shallow mark on the back of his head; it didn't even manage to break through his defense.
"Clang." As a metallic clatter echoed, Ōmori Yakumo couldn't help but stop and look back, only to find it was a very ordinary dagger.
It wasn't even a Quinque; at most, it could only tickle him.
Nevertheless, Ōmori Yakumo still wanted to see who was so bold as to attack him.
However, when he looked up, a figure suddenly appeared behind him.
He only saw a white mask with a strange pattern, and a pair of crimson eyes like Kakuugan (Ghoul Eye).
"You…" Ōmori Yakumo had just opened his mouth when he received a heavy punch.
This punch directly shattered Ōmori Yakumo's nasal bone.
At the same time, Yakuchi Kei also felt his fist go numb. He had to admit, this guy's bones were really hard.
He hadn't brought a Quinque out, so he had just used a common, everyday dagger.
However, even if he had brought one, he didn't plan to use it, because Kureo Mado and Amon Kotaro were very likely also in the 20th Ward. If Kureo Mado saw what happened here, it would cause him a lot of trouble.
So he directly put on his white mask, and while his abilities were enhanced by 10% across the board, he dealt with "Gecko" using a fighting style completely unknown to the CCG.
Because things happened so suddenly, Touka Kirishima and Ryoko Fueguchi were both momentarily stunned, unsure who had suddenly appeared to help them.
Seeing the person wearing a mask, they surmised that he was likely a Ghoul, just like them.
This was because most Ghouls in this world wore their masks when fighting, primarily to avoid having their faces seen by humans, especially CCG Investigators, otherwise it would be very difficult to continue living in human society.
On the other hand, Fueguchi Hinami noticed the clothes on this mysterious masked person; they seemed to be the same as the big brother from the coffee shop…
