They were all crazy, everyone was crazy!
Not only were the ghouls going crazy, but even the CCG's people were also going crazy.
Almost at the same time that the ghouls attacked 'Cochlea,' the surrounding CCG branches were also attacked. Of course, this attack was not as exaggerated as the 11th ward branch. The number of ghouls who attacked those branches was not many, probably only twenty or thirty. Although these ghouls were all wiped out later, because they were afraid that the branches would be breached again, those attacked branches had to leave a certain number of investigators to defend.
In the end, only the 21st and 22nd wards, which were closer to the 23rd, came at the first opportunity. The 20th ward, where Lancer and his team were from, arrived later, while the 19th ward was temporarily blocked on the way by a group of ghouls.
It could be said that Aogiri Tree had mobilized all the troops they could for this operation.
But these things were temporarily not Lancer concern. His current task was the enemy in front of him.
There were a total of five ghouls who appeared in 'Cochlea' and attacked Aogiri Tree. Although they couldn't confirm their genders because they were wearing robes and he couldn't see their bodies, and the 'Rabbit' was undoubtedly Touka Kirishima, there was no need to guess the identities of the remaining four. However, there was still one person who was just standing at the very back, neither taking action nor speaking, but Lancer knew that this was Yoshimura, who was holding down the fort.
There was no doubt that with two S-ranks and three SS-ranks, the battlefield instantly became one-sided, but unfortunately, they were not putting in their full effort, while the other side was fighting for their lives. This instead maintained a strange balance on the battlefield.
"I'll kill you!! I'll kill you!! All of you who stop me from avenging Big Brother must die!! Ahhh!!"
And the most exaggerated one among Aogiri Tree was Naki. This guy was completely crazy at this moment. His right shoulder was clearly pierced by Lancer, and his body was riddled with holes by Touka Kirishima kagune, but he, who was covered in blood, was still swinging his koukaku like a wounded beast, constantly attacking Touka Kirishima.
And facing the madman-like Naki, Touka Kirishima did not fight him head-on at all. Instead, she used her flexible advantage to constantly circle him. There was no doubt that she intended to use a 'bleeding tactic' to wear him down and then deliver a fatal blow.
When she saw the loudly roaring Naki suddenly stumble, Touka Kirishima eyes under her mask lit up. She, who was originally fleeing, stomped her right foot on the ground and then spun, rushing towards Naki at a faster speed than when she was running away.
Although the ukaku's killing power and explosive power were the strongest among all kagune, the problem was that its attacks were not focused enough. The killing power was first-rate, but it was very awkward for a single target, so Touka Kirishima simply didn't count on long-range attacks. Instead, she intended to give the other person a zero-distance attack with the kagune behind her, but ——————
"Naki-nii!!" X 2
No one expected that the two giants who were mistaken for humans because they had not used their kagune would suddenly stand up at this moment and hug Touka Kirishima together. And Touka Kirishima, who was facing the two of them's bear hug, was also stunned for a moment, but she did not hesitate to activate the kagune behind her.
"Da~da~da~"
The rain of kagune shot towards the two of them, but it did not succeed in one hit, because two 'kagune' had actually appeared behind the two of them. Her attacks were all blocked, and none of them got through. And then, these two kagune flew towards her.
This sudden attack caught Touka Kirishima off guard. After all, the two of them had never shown any signs of being ghouls before, but when she jumped to a distance, she was stunned, because the two people who had just ambushed her did not chase her but knelt on the ground.
"Guge!!"
"Gagi!!"
But Naki's reaction was more intense than Touka Kirishima. He was protecting the two of them behind him, because he understood the situation of his two brothers better than anyone else.
Normally, ghouls would manipulate the RC cells inside their bodies to form 'kagune' outside the kakuhou. This was the ghoul's special hunting organ, but the Guge and Gagi brothers were different.
The area where the kagune stretched out behind them was bloody and mangled. There was no doubt that their kagune had truly grown out from inside their bodies.
They were already seriously injured, and now they were bleeding heavily. Their faces under their masks had already become incredibly pale, and facing the loudly crying Naki, they couldn't even lift their hands. It was already their limit to be kneeling there on their hands and knees instead of lying on the ground.
"Naki... Nii... Please allow us to call you Naki-nii..."
"Jason-nii... is no longer here. Please pull yourself together..."
"Stop talking! Stop talking!"
Naki, who was covering the wounds on the backs of the two of them with his hands, now had an extremely terrifying face. The tears that had stopped because of anger had long since covered his entire face without him realizing it.
Touka Kirishima, on the other side, did not intend to watch the show and started attacking again, but unfortunately, the other members of the White Suits were firmly protecting Naki, which made it impossible for Touka Kirishima to find an opportunity. As for the other four people from the Anteiku cafe?
Nishiki Nishio was busy with his own fight, while the other three undoubtedly intended to use this opportunity to give Touka Kirishima 'real combat training,' so they simply didn't intervene. Anyway, there was someone holding down the fort behind them. But it was also because of this reason that it gave Naki and his team an 'opportunity.' Although if he could, he would never want this opportunity to appear in his lifetime.
"Please... allow... us to continue."
"Our two brothers... are the... trash... among ghouls. We can't... use our kagune. Our parents were... killed by... the doves..."
"After... we were killed... it was Naki-nii... who shared food... with us. That's why we... didn't... starve to death..."
"So..."
"Please..."
"Eat us!! This is the last thing the two of us can do for you! Please live on!!" X 2
"Guge!! Gagi!!"
At this moment, Naki kept calling out the names of his two brothers, but unfortunately, because they were unable to use their kagune due to a special reason, and now the massive bleeding after using them had already made them like a candle in the wind. The fact that their speech was no longer stuttered was already a sign of a final burst of energy before death. At this moment, facing his calls, the two of them had no reaction at all. In fact, because of his shaking, the two of them fell directly to the ground.
Looking at the blood of the two of them mixed together next to him, Naki was not only stunned but even the tears at the corners of his eyes seemed to have forgotten to flow...
"Nage!! Nagi!!"
After a beast-like roar, Naki did something that Lancer and even Touka Kirishima could not have imagined. He actually hugged the corpses of his two brothers and started biting down on their kakuhou.
"Pfft~!"
"Crunch~!"
Accompanied by a teeth-grinding sound, Naki, whose face was stained with blood, stood up shakily. At this moment, everyone felt that this guy had completely gone crazy. After all, eating one's own companion on the battlefield was something that did not seem like a normal person or even a ghoul would do no matter how you looked at it. But...
"Ahhh!!"
Accompanied by a wailing sound, he slammed his knees on the ground, and then he actually started rolling in the blood on the ground. Finally ——————
"Bang!!"
After rolling for more than ten seconds, he fiercely slammed his right hand on the metal ground, and a small pit was actually created in the ground by him. And a 'huge change' was happening to his body.
The cyan koukaku actually started to flash, and then it started to cover his body as if it were proliferating...
Suddenly, a bad premonition appeared in everyone's minds.
