1145 Annihilate (1/2)

”Mister Investigator, is this ghoul really dead?” Nietzsche stared at the ghoul's body on the ground warily. ”According to Mr. Andy, ghouls are incredibly difficult to annihilate. Even if their physical bodies die, they will often leave behind a gluttonous desire…”

”Brat! Don't believe in rumors like that! For heterogeneities like ghouls, I've solved more than one large group before…” Clayon furrowed his brows in dissatisfaction. ”And scientists have grabbed a few experimental bodies for scientific research and analysis. They aren't that terrifying… In comparison, those wizards are much more troublesome to deal with because they're too similar to humans and are often hiding among us…”

After saying that, he looked at Simon. ”Of course, you're not one…”

”A ghoul, an extraordinary creature, actually died so easily…” Simon finally uttered after some time.

”You shouldn't think too highly of such heterogeneities. Moreover, ghouls are considered low-tier heterogeneities. In the past, they were easily killed by horsemen with swords, let alone I used a gun with enchanted bullets!”

Clayon revealed the holster at his waist. ”As an unclassified Extraordinary, tell me your choice!”

He glanced at the Arank behind Simon and had clearly recognized his identity.

”Do I have any other choice?” Simon shrugged. ”But although I'll follow your orders, I won't send myself to the death unconditionally!”

”Naturally! You don't have to think of us at the Investigation Agency as too despicable. There are quite a few external members like you and peripheral informers…”

Clayon looked at Vivienne and then Nietzsche. ”The only reason why I revealed this to you is that I also have the intention of developing you as informers. There aren't many dangers, and you can even receive an additional stipend…”

”I-I need to think about it!” While Miss Vivienne was hesitant, Nietzsche was extremely excited.

”All right. Neither of you are allowed to leave until tonight's matter is over, so you'll have some time to think about it!” Clayon smiled, seeming extremely confident.

”Are you really planning to eliminate the ghoul lair?” Vivienne's voice trembled slightly, feeling chills down her spine when she saw the monster on the ground.

”Of course… Do you think ghouls are wild beasts? They have intelligence too. After suffering tonight's setback, they might shift immediately or even split up, making the following work much more difficult!”

Clayon shrugged. ”Of course, you don't need to worry. I naturally won't do something so dangerous alone. I've already called for reinforcements!”

Wuwa! Wuwa!

After he finished speaking, ear-piercing sirens grew increasingly louder.

A group of men in black appeared in the surrounding, and Clayon's attitude changed. He acted like a general as he issued orders calmly.

”Get in!”

Ten minutes later, the surrounding buildings became scarce as they arrived at a pier.

”I initially thought that ghouls preferred dark and dirty environments and would definitely choose some sewer space as their lair, but it was unexpectedly Wesley Pier!” Clayon got out of the car, slightly surprised. ”Although there are sewer connections here as well, their motive clearly isn't this…”

Vivienne was looking inquisitively at the men in black around them. There were at least a hundred of them, holding various types of weapons with strange shapes.

I didn't even know about such a great force hidden within Kimbert City… Wait! Perhaps they were urgently transferred over from other cities. Have Mr. Clayon and the Federal Investigation Agency been dealing with monsters like these all this time?

She suddenly felt her desire seem to deviate.

”Occupy the high ground and surround them!”

”Arrange the firepower net, prepare the explosives, and be ready to blow up the pipelines! We can't give them a chance to escape…”

These men in black were all well-trained and had a clear division of labor, reminding Vivienne of the military.

Furthermore, no one knew how Clayon was communicating with them. At this time, the patrols and night watchmen on the pier all disappeared, and the entire place became eerily silent.

Shortly after all the preparations were complete, they started surrounding an ordinary-looking warehouse.

”This is… the ghoul lair?” Simon was slightly trembling, let alone Nietzsche.

”All right, Mr. Extraordinary, I need bait, so please have your 'toy' enter…”

Clayon smiled slightly as he waved his hand, and a few men in black put a black armored suit on Arank.

Explosives? Simon's eyes twitched, knowing that Clayon must have already discovered that Arank was a Flesh Puppet controlled by him. Too bad… I have no other choice!

He gave the order, and the emotionless Arank took big strides forward into the massive warehouse.

Bang Bang!

After opening the door, a burst of cold air came out of it. There was frozen pork and beef hung all over the place, appearing to be a massive meat freezer.

However, there were also other items… human limbs and bones!

Creak! Creak!

Chewing sounds echoed as over ten ghouls started encircling and launched an attack.
