The monster continuously expanded, destroying the surrounding streets, and the entire Tokyo was plunged into fire and water.
Moreover, the monster's body was still secreting toxins. The toxins, transmitted through the air, could induce ROS symptoms in the human body, even turning ordinary people into ghouls!
"Mom!"
Near the street, a child around seven years old was crying with tears streaming down his face. Looking at the familiar figure in front of him, he appeared somewhat panicked.
The once gentle mother had now become extremely unfamiliar.
The almond-shaped eyes beneath the arched eyebrows turned blood-red, as if staring at a prey.
"I'm sorry, Yuta." The woman covered her face, and drops of transparent liquid flowed from between her fingers.
Yuta stared at her in a daze.
The next second, the woman's face twisted ferociously and she charged at him crazily.
The liquid at the corner of her mouth splashed in the air.
"Mom is too hungry!"
Yuta screamed, his stiff legs as if carrying a weight of a thousand pounds, completely unable to escape.
In despair, he instantly closed his eyes.
'None of this is real. How could mom turn into a monster? This must be a dream!'
"ORA!"
Just as the woman's sharp teeth were about to touch Yuta, half of her face suddenly burst with blood, and then her entire body was sent flying.
Rolling on the ground a few times, the woman lay face-down, motionless.
"Mom!"
Glancing at his unconscious mother whose life or death was uncertain, Yuta suddenly turned his head, and noticed, at some unknown time, a very tall man was standing behind him.
"You bastard! What did you do to my mom!" Yuta angrily grabbed Jotaro's pants and shouted.
"Yare yare." Retracting his gaze, Jotaro closed his eyes and ignored him. "The government's rescue team will arrive soon."
"Let's go."
After Jotaro took a step and left, the others like Eto also followed.
As she passed by the woman, Eto gave her a deep look.
"So that's how it is, this is Furuta's plan, huh? Turning humans into ghouls, that guy really has twisted tastes."
Irimi looked at her disdainfully, "You've done similar things yourself, haven't you?"
"Like that social worker in our ward, a college student named Kaneki, wasn't it thanks to you that he turned from a human into a ghoul?"
Eto snorted, "That's different. I just wanted to create a one-eyed king, while Furuta wants to turn all humans into ghouls!"
"Just two sides of the same coin." Irimi sneered. "Neither of you considered the feelings of those humans."
Eto argued, "You're not Kaneki, how do you know he didn't want to become a ghoul?"
"I think he enjoys his current life. That guy, already twenty and never had a girlfriend, but after becoming a ghoul, he found his first girlfriend."
"Maybe, he even secretly thanked me."
Seeing Eto looking so smug, Irimi shook her head and said helplessly, "What are you so proud of?"
"Kaneki? I think I remember him." Tsukiyama Shuu rubbed his chin. "The smell on that guy was pretty good. A few times I had the urge to eat him."
Eto glanced at the silent Jotaro walking in front, and warned with a sour look, "I advise you not to even think about it."
"Just kidding! Just kidding!" Tsukiyama Shuu tossed his hair. "Compared to his scent, Kujo-kun's is way better. And now I'm a 'vegetarian.'"
"Honestly, I'm already tired of the boring taste of ghouls. I'm more looking forward to eating human gourmet cuisine."
Irimi said, "There's already a breakthrough in that area. Probably won't take long before it becomes widespread."
"To eat like humans, it's really like a dream."
Eto curled her lips. For someone as superior as her, a half-ghoul, human food was no longer novel.
But the technology that allows pure ghouls to eat like humans, she still admired it.
"Tch, that shorty is pretty capable after all."
Irimi sized her up, and after a while, said, "Looking closely, you're not even as tall as her."
Eto's face turned red and she shouted angrily, "None of your business, you old hag!"
After saying that, she thought Irimi would strike back as usual, and even prepared her counterattack, but Irimi remained silent, and even the others quieted down.
Eto suddenly became alert and looked ahead. Her pupils kept dilating and contracting.
"This is the 24th Ward?"
That once prosperous 24th Ward had already become a ruin.
On the ruins, countless giant monsters coiled like flood dragons.
The scene here was even more terrifying than outside.
Scanning the broken streets, piles of corpses, and pools of blood, even Eto, who was used to seeing death, looked extremely grim.
To be honest, this place was once her labor of love.
"Furuta, that bastard!" She cursed through gritted teeth.
Even though she wanted to tear him to pieces, there was nothing she could do now.
After all, Furuta was already dead, and right in front of her.
"Getting angry now won't help."
Jotaro didn't expect the 24th Ward to be damaged so severely.
His gaze fell on the monsters in the ruins. Compared to the ones outside, the monsters here were clearly much larger.
Even though they had already stopped moving, he could still feel a dangerous aura from them.
"The boss is right. At this point, what we need to do is minimize losses as much as possible."
Jotaro nodded slightly, and immediately prepared to organize post-disaster relief, at least, before the monsters rampaged again, the innocent civilians must be evacuated.
"Jotaro-san! You finally came!"
"Hinami?"
Jotaro turned his head and saw Hinami rushing over with several medical personnel.
The once pure and lovely girl was now covered in filth, obviously, she had been active in rescue efforts.
Irimi grabbed her shoulders and asked, "What's the casualty situation?"
Hinami took a breath, her expression somewhat sorrowful.
"According to statistics, the number of deaths is about five hundred, and nearly two thousand people are missing."
"Compared to the outside, such losses are already considered light. Don't take it too hard." Irimi comforted.
In such a disaster, it's impossible to have zero casualties.
The monsters that appeared in the 24th Ward were clearly larger and more dangerous than those outside, yet the number of casualties was far less than in other wards.
This showed how correct Jotaro's decision was, to station a large number of people in the 24th Ward.
"Move the affected people to the temporary shelter. We need to find a way to deal with this monster."
Jotaro looked at Hinami and asked, "Where is that woman, Shinobu? Judging by appearances, these things might be the result of kagune mutations."
"That woman should have a way to handle it."
Even for him, these gigantic creatures were beyond reach.
Even if one part was destroyed, other parts would regenerate quickly.
It's just like those monsters from Cthulhu mythology, their self-healing ability was incredibly strong. Jotaro had already seen it firsthand.
Eradicating them with brute force was not feasible.
Hearing Jotaro's question, Hinami didn't dare to look at him, and said with difficulty, "Miss Shinobu is also on the missing persons list."
