When Lancer and Amon reached the vicinity of where the 'Chaos Mark' disappeared, they finally understood what the tremors that had been coming all the way were all about. It wasn't one of the special products of Neon, the earthquake, but two people fighting.
"Wake up! Kamishiro! That's just a monster, not your daughter at all!!"
Yoshimura Kuzen, in his 'Kakuja' state, was currently entangled with a muscular, strong man using a Rinkaku-Kakuhou, but Yoshimura Kuzen, who had always performed quite well, was almost in a suppressed state.
Although he gained a certain enhancement by covering his entire body with Kakuhou, it was obvious from his appearance that Yoshimura Kuzen's physical condition was not good. After all, since he settled down in the 20th Ward and opened 'Anteiku' to start looking after Kirishima Touka, he had never hunted again, basically surviving by 'corpse picking.' The RC cell content and activity in his body had begun to decline, but what about his opponent?
"Shut up! You knew but kept hiding it from me! I will never believe a word you say again!"
Kamishiro Shachi, with his black hair, was gnashing his teeth at this moment. After he escaped from the 23rd Ward, he once met Yoshimura Kuzen, or rather, Yoshimura Kuzen actively sought him out. The two of them made a 'deal.'
Kamishiro Shachi would help Yoshimura Kuzen to a certain extent to look after, or rather protect, his daughter, Eto Yoshimura, and Yoshimura Kuzen would help Kamishiro Shachi look for his 'daughter,' Kamishiro Rize.
That's right, it was Kamishiro Rize.
Kamishiro Rize's name was not this one before; it was Washuu Rize. After all, her existence was initially intended to give birth to a more excellent next generation for the Washuu family, so she also had that surname. However, after Furuta Nimura helped her escape from the 'White Institution' back then, Kamishiro Rize began to wander in the 6th Ward, or rather, prey wantonly, until she met the leader of the 6th Ward at that time------Kamishiro Shachi.
Kamishiro Shachi adopted Kamishiro Rize, and she became this man's adopted daughter, and also discarded the surname she disliked------Washuu.
But later, the CCG, or rather, the Washuu family, conducted a large-scale sweep of the 6th Ward, where Kamishiro Rize might be hidden, in order to capture her. In the end, Kamishiro Shachi was arrested, and Kamishiro Rize began to roam everywhere, until she was discovered by Furuta Nimura in the 20th Ward and planned to use the method of feigning death to help Kamishiro Rize escape, until a series of accidents ultimately led to Kamishiro Rize becoming Dr. Kanou Akihiro's test subject.
Although Kamishiro Rize was only Kamishiro Shachi's adopted daughter, there is no doubt that he treated her as a real daughter. When he learned that his daughter had already been found by the Aogiri Tree and was still being used as a test subject, his feelings can be imagined. If it weren't for Furuta Nimura luring him with the 'resurrection' of Kamishiro Rize, he would have probably gone directly to settle the score with the Aogiri Tree's BOSS, 'Owl (Eto).'
Later, when he learned that the opponent was killed by CCG's Associate Special Class Investigator Lancer, he even snorted in disdain.
Now, seeing Yoshimura Kuzen bring people from the CCG to try to kill his soon-to-be-resurrected adopted daughter, his feelings can be imagined. Not only is it the daughter's debt being paid by the father, but now new and old grudges are coming together. Full of murderous intent, he unhesitatingly launched an attack on Yoshimura Kuzen.
Yoshimura Kuzen can also be said to know that he is in the wrong. He also didn't know that his own daughter had actually used the opponent's adopted daughter as a test subject. But the problem is that no matter how deep the rift between their father and daughter is, outsiders don't know it. He can't tell the other party that 'my daughter can't wait to kill me,' right?
Not only had his own strength declined, but with his subconscious holding back, it was not surprising that Yoshimura Kuzen was suppressed and unable to raise his head.
And it's not just that. Yoshimura Kuzen, along with Shinohara Yukinori, Mado Kureo, and Arima Kishou, formed the main force to go straight to the core under the guidance of Banjo Kazuichi.
However, all three of them were currently held up by their respective opponents.
Shinohara Yukinori and Suzuya Juuzou were surrounding and attacking 'Nico,' a strong man wearing a strange mask and speaking oddly. The opponent's Kakuhou seemed to have healing abilities, and his self-healing ability was very strong; Mado Kureo and his daughter, Akira Mado, were fighting a female ghoul in a gorgeous dress. The female ghoul's gaze always unconsciously looked towards another battlefield nearby; and the battlefield that the female ghoul, or rather, Itori, was paying attention to involved two ghouls, one of whom was Kirishima Touka's savior, Renji Yomo, and his opponent was Uta, the owner of the mask shop. The two were not only fighting but also seemed to be communicating about something.
As for the last battlefield, it was the CCG's strongest investigator and the leader of the 'Clown' organization who had transformed into a Kakuja state------Roma!
The entire underground space was divided into these four battlefields, and behind the battlefields was a group of continuously writhing 'Kakuhou.'
As for the CCG's main force, they had set up a simple defense line to prevent the 'Dragon Remnants' from charging in from outside. Lancer and his team, after killing several Dragon Remnants, finally rushed into that defense line.
Upon entering the defense line, the ordinary investigators, including Misato Gori, naturally integrated into the defense line. On the other side, due to his identity, Hideyoshi Nagachika did not speak to Kaneki Ken. After all, the connection between the two sides has not been completely exposed even now. Since it was not necessary, they did not intend to expose it. However, he still signaled Kaneki Ken with his eyes to be careful.
But just as Lancer and his team were preparing to split up to help the four battlefields, the continuously writhing Kakuhou in the distance suddenly changed.
"Gurgle~ gurgle~"
With a sound like bubbling, the Kakuhou that had been mechanically rolling in the distance suddenly became somewhat abnormal on the side near the battlefield.
"Rize!!"
Kamishiro Shachi forced Yoshimura Kuzen back but did not continue to pursue. Instead, he looked behind him with excitement. But unfortunately, the final result disappointed him.
The Kakuhou continuously tangled and gradually formed a humanoid shape, but it was not Kamishiro Rize, but Furuta Nimura.
Completely naked, Furuta Nimura was first confused when he opened his eyes. Then, with a face full of surprise, he stared at his body, which had almost no lower half, and he froze for two seconds. Although his body began to tremble...
"This is... this is amazing!!! To be able to merge with Rize, this is simply the favor of heaven! No! This is the result of my hard work!!"
After uttering an unbelievable cheer, Furuta Nimura began to talk to himself in a crazy manner, but his words made everyone present frown.
Had the opponent really gone crazy? To be happy about this non-human, non-ghoul body?
