The five-member team led by Kiyoko Yasuura entered Area 5 at dawn, fully equipped.

Considering the crisis that might occur at any time, the team members directly activated Quinque, holding their weapons, and moved forward cautiously.

Since Area 1 is a heavily ghoul-gathering area, there is no living space for civilians at all, so all the civilians inside have already been evacuated.

CCG has completely abandoned this area, which allows Kiyoko Yasuura and others to fight with all their might.

As the team slowly moved forward, the smell of blood began to become stronger and stronger. It was hard to imagine how many ghouls had to die to create such a strong smell.

Even when they just reached the outskirts, they frowned because of the stench.

During the advancement, they were unexpectedly successful. There was not a single sound in the quiet city, and not a single ghoul came out to attack them.

Finally they stopped in front of a corpse, and the next moment, a team member squatted down and began to check the wounds on the corpse.

"It's a kagune, um... it was cut off along with the head, the wound is very smooth, was it cut with a knife? Or was it some kind of sharp kagune?"

"There is no trace of Kyouko, but Kakubo is still there..."

This member was very experienced and was able to determine the approximate manner of death after just a few glances.

However, this type of wound was rare in his impression, because ghouls usually attacked using kagune, and no matter what kind of kagune it was, it would be difficult to create such a smooth wound, so he couldn't judge for the moment.

After hearing the members' analysis, memories in Kiyoko Anura's mind began to flash one by one, and then a hint of doubt appeared in her eyes.

In her memory, there was no powerful investigator or ghoul who used a sword, and there was no sign of co-ghoul, which was very strange.

"Is it a coincidence?"

Before she could think about it, a team member seemed to have discovered something, pointed to the intersection ahead, and reminded:

"Senior Qingzi, there are still a few bodies ahead."

Following the instructions of the members, Kiyoko Anura turned her head and looked over. The next moment, she immediately quickened her pace. Now she especially wanted to know whether those bodies died in the same way.

Because there are too few corpses found so far, it is difficult for her to judge whether these ghouls are facing humans or ghouls.

After a while, during the inspection, it was discovered that the wounds of the three bodies were exactly the same as those seen before, and the hernias were still there, which made the team members present even more confused.

From the condition of these corpses, they could only conclude that someone was killing people indiscriminately, and that their purpose was not to communal devouring them.

"Just keep going."

After the search was fruitless, Kiyoko Yasuura didn't care. These ghouls were killed instantly without any signs of fighting, so there were no clues for them to judge. It was futile to just look at the wounds, as such wounds could be caused by either a knife or a kagune.

The only thing they realized was that the enemy's weapons were very sharp and powerful, and knowing these points was enough.

Whether it's a human or a ghoul, it's not that important.

Immediately, Kiyoko Yasuura led the team and continued to advance deeper into Area 1.

One, two, three, the bodies began to increase in number, and the surrounding walls and the ground of the street were already stained with deep red blood.

They would stop to check some of the bodies in front, but they didn't care about the ones behind.

Not only did the way of death differ, there were no signs of fighting either. The overall situation seemed like these ghouls were killed instantly while escaping madly. Obviously, the person these ghouls were facing was most likely a 3s strong man, otherwise there wouldn't be such a one-sided situation.

As we went deeper, the number of corpses increased, from scattered at the beginning to densely packed later. There were too many broken limbs and arms to count, and all kinds of internal organs were scattered all over the streets. Even in the surrounding alleys, a large number of corpses could be seen.

They felt as if they had walked into a slaughterhouse. Such a cruel scene made even those who were well-informed feel strongly uncomfortable. The thick, stench filled the air and quickly filled their sense of smell.

It was not until they passed a street corner that Kiyoko Yasuura and the others were completely stunned. If the bloodiness of the previous scene was equivalent to that of a small street stall selling pork, then this place was simply a large pork slaughterhouse.

The bloodiness reached its maximum at this moment.

Ugh…Ugh…

The next second, except for Kiyoko Yasuura who turned her head away while suppressing her discomfort, the other members bent over and vomited all over the place. This scene has become a shadow that will accompany them throughout their lives.

After a long time, they hurriedly left this position, then leaned against the wall and began to breathe heavily.

"Take a break and adjust your condition..."

Seeing how uncomfortable several people looked, Kiyoko Yasuura no longer had any idea of ​​moving forward. Their condition was very bad now. If they were not adjusted properly, letting them fight would be just sending them to their deaths.

And she also needs to adjust herself. The level of blood in that place just now is totally unacceptable to ordinary people. It would be okay if they just vomited, but normal people might be scared to the point of insanity.

At this moment, Kiyoko Yasuura was a little hesitant and she had the idea of ​​retreating. At this moment, Area 1 made her realize that it would be impossible to find out any results relying on her own team alone, and the biggest possibility was that the whole army would be wiped out.

Perhaps only if Maki comes here in the future will it be possible to investigate the secrets deep in Area 1.

"You look miserable, do you need help?"

"No……."

Just when she was halfway through her words, Anura Kiyoko's eyes widened instantly. The sudden appearance of this voice was so unfamiliar, and it walked quietly to her and others. Who was this person?

shuh...

Going deeper into the first area, Kiyoko Yasuura, who was already stimulated by the scenes here, was approached by a stranger. Without any hesitation, she slashed at the person beside her with a knife.

There are no one from our area now. Even if investigators from other areas appear, it is impossible for them to approach us so quietly. Therefore, there is only one possibility for the person who appeared around us, and that is the culprit who caused the tragedy in Area 1.

Faced with Anura Kiyoko's extreme behavior, Yang Jian helplessly grabbed the opponent's attacking arm, and then quickly grabbed her other arm holding the knife. Although the woman in front of him was the strongest one among these people, she was still a little too young in his eyes.

But he wasn't here to cause trouble, so he just exerted a little force and pushed her back, and he also took a few steps back to leave some space for the two of them.

"Don't get excited, I don't mean any harm."
