Chapter 112: Chapter 80: The Truth, The Dark Side of CCG

Tap, tap, tap~.

The sound of footsteps, neither hurried nor slow, approached as Arima Kishou emerged from a passage.

Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Su Xiao looked at Arima Kishou.

"Arima, do you know what you’re doing?"

Just a few seconds ago, Arima Kishou actually used the Kuingke to ambush him, clearly to protect Takatsuki Sen.

"If you hadn’t come, I would have been killed by this guy."

Takatsuki Sen approached Arima Kishou, a ghoul standing side by side with an investigator.

"Bai Ye, I wanted to discuss this with you back on the surface, but it seems now we’ll have to discuss it early."

Arima Kishou stood beside Takatsuki Sen, without the slightest caution, it seemed they were acquainted.

"What, are you planning to team up with Takatsuki Sen against me?"

Su Xiao tightly gripped the Dragon Slash, ready to make a run for it at any moment.

Given Takatsuki Sen’s current state, he was ninety percent confident of victory, but with Arima Kishou, he could only strategically retreat.

"There’s no need to be so wary. I don’t want to fight you; it would be meaningless."

Arima Kishou put away the Kuingke and gestured for Takatsuki Sen not to act either.

"Tch, this bastard has tried to take my head off several times, and we’re just letting it go?"

Takatsuki Sen was clearly a bit unsatisfied, glaring hatefully at Su Xiao.

"We started cooperating thirteen years ago, but that doesn’t mean we’ll continue today. Kaneki Ken is dead."

Arima Kishou’s words shocked Takatsuki Sen.

"I know."

Takatsuki Sen gritted his teeth, turning away from Su Xiao and Arima Kishou.

"Are you planning to cooperate with this guy? He’s killed many of my subordinates."

"I’ve also killed many members of the Bronze Tree."

Arima Kishou looked at Takatsuki Sen dispassionately, and Takatsuki Sen rolled their eyes.

Su Xiao watched the two in surprise; their personalities seemed somewhat different from the original, were they disguised then?

"Hoo~."

Arima Kishou let out a long breath, lightly adjusting his glasses with one hand.

"There’s no need to be so wary, come a bit closer."

"Just say what you have to say; this distance is fine."

Su Xiao wouldn’t approach Arima Kishou and Takatsuki Sen; the two clearly had a cooperative relationship.

From their conversation, it was clear they had been cooperating for thirteen years.

The CCG’s strongest investigator cooperating with the one-eyed owl surely held immense secrets and highly enticing benefits.

Exploring the deeper secrets of the Derivative World surely carried significant rewards, otherwise Su Xiao would have left long ago.

"Bai Ye, what do you think the CCG is?"

Arima Kishou’s expression was serious, a hint of hatred flickering in his eyes.

"Exterminating ghouls? Protecting humans?"

Su Xiao wasn’t clear on the CCG’s purpose, so casually replied.

"Pfft~, protecting humans? The CCG protects humans? That’s the funniest thing I’ve ever heard. Investigators indeed protect humans, but the CCG absolutely does not."

Takatsuki Sen tidied their hair, messed up from the fight, seeming disdainful of the CCG.

"No, the CCG isn’t protecting humans; they’re herding humans, ’controlling’ humans... ."

After organizing his thoughts, Arima Kishou began to reveal the secrets of the CCG to Su Xiao.

Commission of Counter Ghoul (abbreviated as CCG)

Chairman: Washuu Yoshimitsu.

Director: Washuu Itsuki.

The CCG handles ghoul-related incidents worldwide; everything involving ghouls is resolved by the CCG, wielding enormous power.

On the surface, the CCG protects ordinary civilians and expels ghouls, but is that really the case?

Su Xiao had always had a question: Why doesn’t the CCG use powerful thermal weapons against ghouls? Out of concern for civilian safety? To Su Xiao, it wasn’t like that at all.

Some powerful heavy machine guns could easily pierce a ghoul’s skin. For instance, during the battle at the entrance to the 24th District, setting up a few powerful heavy machine guns to rain down bullets in such a narrow terrain could wipe out thousands of ghouls within half an hour.

Even if the machine guns weren’t enough, a heavy sniper surely would be.

A dozen well-trained snipers with heavy snipers could reduce Takatsuki Sen to a heap of flesh in five minutes if they maintained a good distance.

In the original plot, Kamishiro Rize was nearly killed by falling steel beams, showing that a ghoul’s skin was far from as tough as imagined.

Even if none of the above weapons worked, humans still had the land overlords, tanks!

With the charge of that iron behemoth, ghouls had no chance to fight back.

Is it true that humans can’t completely eliminate ghouls? What a joke; humans are the strongest creatures on Earth, a fact proven over millions of years.

Yet, today, humans still live under the threat of ghouls. Take some dangerous areas of Tokyo, for example, where people live in constant fear of ghoul attacks.

The culprit for this situation is the CCG.

"Bai Ye, the CCG’s higher-ups are not humans; they’re all ghouls, ghouls of the Washuu Clan,

or rather, a ghoul organization called the V Organization controls the CCG. Naturally, ghouls won’t completely eliminate other ghouls."

The information Arima Kishou revealed made everything suddenly clear to Su Xiao.

Ah, that’s why the CCG never uses high-power thermal weapons to expel ghouls. He had even struggled to secure a few high-explosive grenades from the CCG headquarters, taking days of review, only to be given one with disappointing power, unable to even kill an S-Level ghoul.

Had Su Xiao not seen the power of high-explosive grenades himself, he might have truly believed thermal weapons were ineffective against ghouls.

The CCG’s higher-ups are all ghouls; ghouls will not completely eradicate ghouls.

And if that’s the case, then not only are the CCG’s leaders ghouls, but the higher echelons of national institutions, even the military, could also contain ghouls, a terrifying thought upon deeper consideration.

Ghouls resemble humans too closely in appearance, and with the Washuu Clan controlling a powerful organization like the CCG, it wouldn’t be difficult for ghouls to infiltrate those institutions under the clan’s cover.

The CCG has always instilled a belief in investigators that thermal weapons are unsuitable against ghouls, a belief that amounts to brainwashing, starting from the Ghoul Investigator Training School, accompanying investigators’ growth. Lies repeated over time become truth, leading the CCG to invent the Kuingke for humans to fight ghouls.

This raises a new question: since the CCG’s leaders are all ghouls, why do they have human investigators expel ghouls and kill their kind?

The answer is fairly simple: with human authority under ghoul control, ghouls are akin to natural enemies for humans.

So the CCG, that is, the ghouls of the V Organization, devised a method to let humans moderately eliminate ghouls, controlling ghoul numbers to prevent human extinction.

This also provides humans a glimmer of hope, preventing despair, which could lead to the rise of rebel forces.

Humans, as the primary food source for ghouls, mean that if humans go extinct, ghouls won’t be far behind.

Though ghouls could survive through shared eating, human extinction would lead to societal collapse, leaving only ghouls on Earth, mutually slaughtering each other. Civilization would end, with the danger of reverting to a primitive society.

The CCG neither wants this nor the extinction of ghouls because, being ghouls themselves, they thus birthed investigators using the Kuingke.

Investigators serve as diligent ’cleaners,’ controlling ghoul numbers.

Su Xiao previously cleaned up District 14, a gesture greatly helping humans. If the CCG fought for humanity, why not send him to clear ghouls in other areas? Instead, they transferred him to District 24, with no human inhabitants, to kill ghouls. Even if all ghouls in District 24 were eliminated, could humans live underground? Clearly, they could not.

Some ghouls in District 24 might know the CCG’s secrets, prompting the CCG to eliminate dissenters.

The conflict between the Bronze Tree and the CCG isn’t a war between ghouls and humans, but an internal ghoul battle.

The Bronze Tree massively congregating ghouls and occupying an area challenges authority in the eyes of the CCG’s leaders.

Had the CCG not spread the notion that thermal weapons are unsuitable against ghouls, a notion deeply ingrained, the CCG’s ghoul leaders would have long sent airplanes and cannons to bombard the Bronze Tree.
