"We are members of the CCG."
As soon as the opponents walked in, they immediately stated their identity, and the waiter couldn't help but shiver.
"Do we have Ghouls here?"
Although the existence of the 'CCG' was not publicly advertised, there was no one living in Tokyo who did not know of their existence. The fact that the opponents directly stated their identity made the waiter's scalp tingle, and what made him even more terrified was that the CCG member nodded at him.
"I'll go and tell our boss now…"
Undoubtedly, he was terrified of living next to man-eating monsters, but what scared him more was the CCG member asking him for help, so he decisively chose to pass the buck.
"No need. You just need to tell us the room number of the man with the two women and give us the key."
He immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that he didn't need to help, and then decisively took a spare key from the safe and handed it to the opponent, but then he became troubled.
"What's wrong? Did the opponent threaten you?"
"No, actually, we have several rooms here where people are having that 3-way thing…"
The expression of the Investigator leading the team immediately became subtle, but fortunately, they were not completely unprepared. He took out a document from his pocket, which contained Lancer ID photo.
"The one who looks most like this."
Undoubtedly, Lancer and the others had undergone simple disguises, but it was worse than others.
The person froze for several seconds after seeing the photo, and then remembered Lancer. After all, people of Lancer height were not common in Neon.
"I remember this person. He is in 3013, but a man came here just now…"
The person leading the team's expression instantly became ugly before he could finish his sentence.
'Could it be that someone got there first?!'
Without any hesitation, he immediately led the team upstairs.
— — — — — —
Lancer left to find Kishou Arima after sending the Fueguchi mother and daughter to the 'Love Hotel', but before leaving, he made two small ice talismans and gave them to Ryouko Fueguchi and Hinami Fueguchi as a 'contact tool'.
Indeed, with Lancer technique, it was impossible to create a magical item with communication capability, but simple activation and display could still be manufactured.
As long as the two of them crushed the talisman in their hands, Lancer would rush back.
And undoubtedly, Touka Kirishima's arrival not only surprised Hinami Fueguchi but also made her directly crush the talisman in her hand.
After the two sides briefly explained the events of this period, they decided to wait for Lancer to return and then leave together, but just at this moment —
"Bang!!"
The door of the room was kicked open, and then a young man holding a long spear-shaped Quinque rushed in directly, followed by several Investigators holding firearms.
"Associate Special Class Lancer! It's still not too late to surrender… Who are you?"
Undoubtedly, the person rushing to the front of the team was the strongest combat power of this team, the former CCG Associate Special Class Investigator, Urie Kuki, who was promoted to Special Class Investigator by Nimura Furuta after the Rushima Island Operation.
Although Urie Kuki had never truly fought Lancer, he had learned of Lancer strength from Kishou Arima before executing the search mission, so he directly activated his Quinque. But what he didn't expect was that he didn't see Lancer in the room, but the Fueguchi mother and daughter standing aside were clearly seen by him. He naturally recognized the mother and daughter.
These mother and daughter were secondary mission targets, but since they were here, where was Lancer? And why was this handsome guy, who looked somewhat similar to him (androgynous), here? Could he be cheating on Lancer?
"Hide behind me!"
Touka Kirishima didn't know that she had become the 'homewrecker' in Urie Kuki's eyes, but she knew that given the opponent's attitude, he was obviously not here to catch up with Lancer.
Her eyes turned red, and the Kagune behind her also emerged.
Undoubtedly, although Touka Kirishima did not directly make a move, the atmosphere between the two sides was extremely tense, but just at this moment.
"Smack~!"
The sudden sound in the quiet room always drew attention, and Urie Kuki and the others subconsciously looked towards the window, and then saw Lancer in a suit climbing in, supporting himself on the window, while his other hand was carrying the SSS-rated Quinque 'Owl'.
Immediately, most of the firearms that were pointed at Touka Kirishima and the others were aimed at Lancer, leaving only two people on guard. Urie Kuki, as the leader, naturally pointed the Quinque in his hand directly at Lancer.
"Associate Special Class Lancer, it's still not too late to surrender. Although you possess strange abilities, everyone has seen your efforts during this period. As long as you explain clearly, no one will harm you!"
Facing Urie Kuki's stern words, Lancer originally sharp gaze gradually softened. He had previously thought that the opponent was also a subordinate of Nimura Furuta, just like the previous attackers, but looking at him, the opponent did not seem to be, right? Otherwise, he wouldn't be wasting words with him here.
"Associate Special Class Urie, if I had heard these words two days ago, I might have returned with you, but now… I apologize."
Two days ago referred to the time of the 'Auction House' operation. If it were then, Lancer, who didn't know that the CCG's General Chairman and Director had sent Kishou Arima to monitor him, might have been willing to communicate with the opponent, but facing a person who had once plotted against him, he had no goodwill. Not to mention that Nimura Furuta was also suspected of kidnapping his teacher and friend.
"Phew~"
Hearing Lancer words, Urie Kuki's expression also gradually became serious.
Although he looked smaller than his peers and was often mistaken for a cute girl because of his cute face, the fact that Urie Kuki could serve as the Branch Director and General Commander of the 4th Ward while only being an Associate Special Class was enough to show his talent and strength. Once he became serious, his intimidating aura was quite terrifying.
Seeing the opponent's reaction, Lancer also sighed helplessly. Although the opponent was not Nimura Furuta's direct subordinate, judging by the opponent's reaction, it was impossible for him to 'let him go' like Yukinori Shinohara before. If that was the case…
He also raised the 'Owl' in his right hand.
"Although I don't know if Associate Special Class Urie believes it, I don't want to hurt anyone from the CCG. You are all my comrades, so I will definitely not use heavy force, but please temporarily leave the field b…"
「Owl (Incomplete Form) · Devour — Complete」
An extremely abrupt message suddenly appeared in Lancer field of vision, and then the scene that happened next completely made everyone present widen their eyes.
Because the black Quinque Lancer was holding, after a writhing period, actually transformed into a young girl with long green shawl hair, and Lancer hand was gripping the 'collar' around the opponent's neck.
The atmosphere in the room instantly became extremely bizarre.
