21st Ward, Lucien's estate, Tokyo.
After Lucien returned from the 24th Ward to his estate in the 21st Ward, he went to his bedroom, where Itori was already waiting for him in very erotic clothing as they engaged in a long night of pleasure and moans.
After the deed was finished and time for fun was over, Lucien decided to prepare for the raid on the Kano's Underground Lab that would happen very, very soon.

The next day, deep night, Yasuhisa Mansion ( property of the Commission of Counter Ghoul )
Lucien stood hidden in the dark together with two people clothed in black combat clothes; one was wearing a traditional eyepatch mask and another black rabbit mask. Then there was a man clothed in battle armor, that was, of course, Sternritter N0.3 Zelilios.
"The mansion is empty; probably only in the underground lab would be some people. Eyepatch and Black Rabbit would kill everybody that entrest the lab, either from CCG or some other organization. Zelilios and I would search for Kano and kill him. To be careful; that rat is very good at hiding and playing dirty tricks."
Lucien was clothed in his battle attire and wearing the bloody-white hollow mask, exactly as his title was Hollow Shinigami. He gave everybody exact instructions on what to do and when. Apparently, CCG wasn't still here as they would arrive only when the mansion was breached and Vasuki would do the same. Only in the shadows, contrary to the CCG.
Seeing everybody nodding their heads in agreement, Lucien nodded too and gave his approval to the start of the operation. All four of them ran to the mansion; what was surprising was that there weren't any kind of alarms or anything, as the estate was completely defenseless.

They quickly found the underground lab entrance and then divided their forces into two teams. Lucien and Zelilios were on one team, and another one was Kaneki and Ayato.
Lucien and Zelilios entered the underground through the huge elevator, which led them several tens of meters under the ground. One must admit that they really make sure that the underground lab is hidden really well.
Though, the lack of security was something that was making worry in Lucien's head as he was smelling the trap.
No, he wasn't smelling a trap.
This was the trap.
When they exited the elevator, they were in the huge spacious room filled with containers holding bodies of either humans, ghouls, or some hybrid. All bodies were in perfect condition, even though Lucien didn't know if they were dead or alive. Here was the place where Kano Akihiro was performing his ghoulification experiments.
Lucien's orders were complete extermination, leaving no one alive as it was the safest thing they could do. Thus this applied to the experimental subjects of the Kano. Lucien looked at Zelilios before saying anything as he created several kagune daggers and controlled them through his telekinesis to destroy all those experimental subjects.
Then he collected the bodies of the dead into his Cross Crest before continuing the search of this facility.
"Kill everything you see. Orders are complete extermination. When were are done, place as many explosives here as you can. If possible, we need to destroy this laboratory so the Washuu Clan or anyone else won't have anything from this."
Said Lucien as he handed Zelilios new explosives that were extremely strong. Destroying this lab was something like an optional target, but it would be preferable if it succeeded.
Lucien and Zelilios carefully examined all corners of the lab, but they couldn't find anything useful at all. Apparently, they weren't even close to the heart of the facility. Lucien hoped Kano would be here and he could kill him as it would make things easier many times.

Outside of the Yasuhisa Mansion
There stood a group of people in typical white cloaks of the CCG. Leading them was Kuroiwa Iwao, Special-Class Ghoul Investigator, who apparently healed from his injuries that he sustained some time ago.
Besides him were also two notable ghoul investigators, Amon Koutarou, a very tall, handsome young man with black hair and teal eyes.
His distinctive eyebrows are curved at the end. Due to his constant, vigorous training, he has an extremely athletic and muscular build. Currently, First-Class Ghoul Investigator wielding the Doujima 1/2 quinque, koukaku-type that takes the form of a club with a big handle, suited mainly for two-handed users.
Another one was a woman, Mado Akira, a gorgeous young woman with pale blonde hair and purple eyes. She braided her hairstyle and wore a neutral expression on her face.
She was the daughter of the Mado Kureo, a ghoul investigator who went a bit crazy after a certain event and was a First-Class Ghoul Investigator.
Besides the three of them, there were two four other ghoul investigators, clothed in the same fashion and holding suitcases with their quinques. Most of them were lower ranked and were much weaker because the main combat strength of the team was, of course, Kuroiwa and then Amon with Mado, but alas, in every team is needed for cannon fodder.
Meanwhile, Kuroiwa observed the mansion and thought about some kind of plan for an attack.
"We must be careful; the report from the HQ said that several ghouls of the Aogiri Tree entered the mansion. Our mission is to search and kill all those that entered. Call for reinforcements if you find an enemy you can't defeat immediately."
Ordered Kuriowa as they also entered the Yasuhisa Mansion. Nobody knew that from a distance, hidden in the dark, several people wearing long black coats with hats and holding katanas were observing them as they were walking on the way to the Yasuhisa Mansion.
Empire and its pawn Aogiri, Vasuki, and CCG. All teams were here, and not everyone could leave this playground alive.
