Ding! The host has defeated the S-Class Ghoul 'Gecko' and received a reward: 30 Fusion Points!
Ding! The host has defeated a 'Half-Kakuja' for the first time and received an additional reward: 20 Fusion Points!
Two system prompts immediately echoed in Kei 's mind.
At this point, Ōmori Yakumo no longer had the ability to resist; even if he were left completely alone, the exhausted Gecko would be burned to death by the continuous flames.
Just as he was about to continue watching the show, the system suddenly spoke again.
Ding! The host has activated a mission, initiating a God-Tier Choice!
Choice One: Completely kill Ōmori Yakumo. Afterward, you can obtain the S+ Class Quinque '13's jason.' Reward: 1 Fusion Point!
Choice Two: Spare Ōmori Yakumo's life and imprison him in 'Cochlea' to continue suffering torture. Reward: 20 Fusion Points!
Choice Three: Spare his life and subdue him, but with the risk of backlash. Reward: 50 Fusion Points!
Although Choice Three offered a considerable amount of Fusion Points, Kei did not think this option was cost-effective.
Moreover, there was the risk of backlash, and he did not want to keep a ticking time bomb by his side.
Comparatively, directly obtaining an 'S+' level Quinque was definitely the best option; it was countless times stronger than the B-Class Quinque he was currently using.
At this moment, Kei leaped directly from the rooftop, landing steadily in front of Ōmori Yakumo.
Ōmori Yakumo used almost his last ounce of strength to barely lift his head and look at the other party, only to see the other party slowly taking off his mask, revealing the face that had left a deep impression on him, with a pair of Three-Tomoe Sharingan still active.
"You!..."
Ōmori Yakumo's eyes widened instantly, and even his pupils trembled.
At this point, his 'Half-Kakuja' form had been dispelled due to severe injuries, and his mind had cleared up considerably, almost like a final burst of clarity before death.
He never expected the other party to be that human Investigator!
He had thought until the last moment that the masked person in front of him was a Ghoul, and the other party even had fire-attribute abilities, which was not particularly strange for some special Ghouls.
Tatara from 'Aogiri Tree' was a prime example.
Now, Ōmori Yakumo could no longer figure out whether the other party was human or Ghoul...
However, he didn't have the chance to figure it out, as his life had reached its end.
Until his death, Ōmori Yakumo's eyes remained wide open, bloodshot.
It was unclear if it was due to unwillingness to die here, or because he was shocked and confused by Kei 's identity.
Ding! The host has completed Choice One and received a reward: 1 Fusion Point!
Kei didn't care what Ōmori Yakumo was thinking before he died. He briefly cleaned up the scene, letting the burning flames dissipate.
Although there were still large areas of burn marks on the ground, such matters could be easily explained away; no one would suspect that a human could release fire-attribute abilities.
Nor would anyone doubt his human identity, otherwise the CCG's RC Gate would become a joke.
Afterward, Kei called the CCG Branch in the 20th Ward.
"Hello, this is Second Class Investigator Kei . I encountered the S-Class Ghoul 'Jason' in the 20th Ward and have successfully repelled him. The exact location is..."
Kei left the precise location.
His battle this time was not discovered by other Investigators, nor did any outsiders dare to spectate, so he could report directly to the CCG without needing to hide anything.
This way, he could also obtain an S+ level Quinque, which was quite good.
As for Touka and the Desiguchi mother and daughter, there was no need to worry, as they couldn't be certain if he had killed Ōmori Yakumo, and they wouldn't be bored enough to go to the CCG to verify this matter. The CCG also wouldn't casually spread his achievement of repelling 'Jason.'
"Oh, oh! Alright! We'll send people over immediately!"
Upon hearing that it was an S-Class Ghoul, the Investigator Assistant on the other end of the phone immediately dared not be negligent in the slightest.
The CCG's strength distribution among its Ward Headquarters is generally based on the threat level of that Ward. Since the 20th Ward had been relatively stable for many years, the CCG gradually reduced its personnel distribution in the 20th Ward, leaving only some necessary Investigators there, mostly Investigator Assistants and Third-Class Investigators.
Therefore, for the CCG Branch in the 20th Ward, the appearance of an S-Class Ghoul was a major incident.
For example, the S-Class 'Big Eater' that suddenly appeared not long ago, they had been hesitant to send people to apprehend it, instead waiting for support from other Ward Branches or the 1st Ward Headquarters.
Now, an Investigator in the 20th Ward had repelled an S-Class Ghoul; this was incredibly exciting news for the Ward Branch, and that Investigator was only a Second Class Investigator!
After hanging up the phone, the Investigator Assistant who had just spoken with Kei immediately said to the others in the office: "Quick! Call everyone! Associate Investigator Ameno has repelled the S-Class Ghoul 'Jason' in our 20th Ward, and may be seriously injured. Mobilize as many logistical personnel as possible as quickly as you can!"
Of course, this was the person's own guess; Kei hadn't mentioned whether he was injured at all.
"Associate Investigator Ameno? Who is that? And you're not kidding, are you? An S-Class 'Jason' was actually repelled by a Second Class Investigator?!"
"Yeah, is this real or fake? You're not messing with us, are you?"
"Regardless of whether it's real or fake, quickly send people to check the situation first. If Associate Investigator Ameno really did it and is seriously injured, even a slight delay causing his death in the line of duty would be a responsibility none of us could bear!"
"..."
The office immediately became a commotion.
If one could truly repel an S-Class Ghoul, then they would at least have the potential of a Superior Investigator, and conventionally, they would even possess the strength expected of an Associate Special Class Investigator.
If such a genius were to die in the line of duty due to their negligence, not only would they be finished, but they would also feel guilty for the rest of their lives.
After all, every powerful Investigator is a hope for humanity to defeat Ghouls.
Those willing to enter the CCG and do such dangerous work, who among them isn't for the purpose of repelling Ghouls and protecting humanity?
...
Soon, a group of Investigator Assistants and Third-Class Investigators arrived at the scene fully armed.
They saw the unrecognizable Ōmori Yakumo on the ground, and Kei standing against the wall, completely unharmed.
They were all immediately stunned.
Because they had originally thought Associate Investigator Ameno was seriously injured; that's how the message had been conveyed from above, but it turned out the other party was perfectly fine.
No, buddy...
A Second Class Investigator repelled an S-Class Ghoul without a scratch???
