Hakou General Hospital
A while later, in a private room, Amon woke up with a gasp, looking around in bewilderment. Remembering what had happened, he immediately tried to get up, but a deep pain surged from his abdomen.
"I wouldn't move if I were you; you have a deep wound in your abdomen."
"Sir..."
"I'm Iwao Kuroiwa. I was sent here after it was known that this is where the Crow Master resides... Do you remember anything from your fight with him?" Iwao Kuroiwa asked as he looked at Amon, who seemed confused.
"Isn't it too hasty to ask him about what he remembers from that fight?" Yukinori Shinohara looked at Amon and sighed with a bitter feeling running through his body.
Kureo Mado's death was a hard blow to the CCG, and, most importantly, it happened in a district where tranquility prevailed. To kill an investigator like Mado, the Ghoul who did it must be at least an S or higher.
After all the chaos in Tokyo with the online killer, Ghouls all over Tokyo seemed unusually quiet, which was not possible unless there was something not in order.
Under the suspicions they had, it was concluded that a leader, who is the Crow Master, has been unifying all Ghouls with hidden motives. But this was a big problem because, although he killed numerous Ghouls and seemed more peaceful than he appeared, things could get a bit complicated if all Ghouls were unified.
For this, a council was established to determine whether to hunt down the Crow Master, and the only problem with that consideration is that no one knows where this unknown Ghoul, who had overwhelming power, is.
As they say, people fear the unknown, and since the Crow Master is an unknown enemy who fought unscathed against the CCG's Reaper, many have considered it a priority to eliminate him as soon as possible if more data about him is recognized.
Now that it is known that he is in District 20, Iwao Kuroiwa was sent to analyze the situation and conclude these desires that have been in the upper ranks for a long time. If it is true that more data is known, they could even resort to hunting down this unknown Ghoul.
"It wasn't a battle..." Amon replied with a consolidated expression. He found it difficult to understand how the Crow Master operated; everything about him seemed to be hidden under a thin layer of invisibility.
"What did you say?" Yukinori Shinohara was puzzled by Amon's words.
"That it wasn't a fight. He killed Kureo Mado, and after that, the Crow Master attacked me without lifting a finger..." Amon clenched his fists; he didn't remember how he managed to survive, but all this should be a game of the Crow Master.
Iwao Kuroiwa frowned and asked, "Did he save the woman and the girl you two were hunting?"
Amon nodded and said, "But for some strange reason, a bullet killed Kureo Mado. The Crow Master is different from any Ghoul because he and his men were carrying black briefcases..."
"That means a sniper was the one who ended up killing Kureo Mado. And if you say you were defeated in one blow, that only means he let you live for a reason..." Yukinori Shinohara expressed his conclusion.
Iwao Kuroiwa muttered, "Armament, logistics, camera control, resource distribution, safe zones, men trained in military weaponry, Ghouls who don't fight... The Three-Eyed Crow organization seems much more sophisticated than the rest; even one like Aogiri Tree can't compare to them."
"Did he say anything else before you lost consciousness?" Yukinori Shinohara asked one last question before leaving.
Amon nodded and said, "He mentioned that no human helps Ghouls, that since they treat him as a monster, killing those who bite him... He also said that he was very satisfied that a human like the internet assassin is doing the things we should be concerned about."
Upon hearing that, Iwao Kuroiwa knew they were referring to the assassin who killed live on the internet. Things were complicated with that case, as every Friday morning there was a murder broadcast online.
"All right, rest and recover..." Iwao Kuroiwa left the room with Yukinori Shinohara and said, "Things are complicated; I'm afraid we wouldn't do much by searching..."
Yukinori Shinohara nodded and said, "Obviously, now the Crow Master wants to make himself seen, wants us to feel his threat, and if we go down that path, we'll be doing exactly what he wants."
"The right question is what we should do. Obviously, searching for him poses a huge problem since it is unknown where he is, and much less what is happening in the surroundings with so few Ghouls seen in the last few days...."
"The war is about to begin, a very bloody and long one..."
