The Daily Life of Ultimate Creatures in Tokyo
Chapter 25 Ghouls also need money
District 20.
"It should be right here."
At this time, Bai Ge and Aite were squatting on the roof of a rental house.
This was exactly where Longzhu Tao had mentioned the small organization's members disappearing. Also, scattered around the rental house were a few thugs, clearly the men sent by the Longzhu Group.
On the way here, At had already learned the general situation from Bai Ge.
In short, there are two purposes: one is to investigate the so-called "collective disappearance incident" in this rental house, and the other is to investigate Akihiro Kano, the director of Kano General Hospital.
She didn't quite understand why Bai Ge, a CCG investigator, suddenly wanted to investigate the case, so she just followed along with a lazy attitude.
As for that Kano Akihiro, Et didn't understand why Bai Ge was still interested in him.
"Let's go into the room and take a look."
"it is good."
After saying that, the two of them jumped off the roof silently. Instead of going through the main door, they climbed in from the balcony.
In order to avoid being discovered, neither of them used any lighting tools, but the darkness was nothing to their eyesight.
I don’t know if it was because Long Zhutao had specifically instructed otherwise or for some other reason, but the scene in the room was well protected and remained in the same state as when those people disappeared three days ago.
The results of the preliminary observation were indeed as Long Zhutao said. There were no signs of fighting or struggling. It was difficult to investigate using ordinary investigative methods, and no clues could be found.
But this is not necessarily the case with Bai Ge, as he has many unusual investigative methods.
"Tsk tsk, you keep scolding the old man for being useless, but in the end you still have to use his abilities."
As Bai Ge spoke, he took out a brand new Polaroid camera the size of a palm from his pocket.
Under Et's puzzled gaze, Bai Ge put the Polaroid camera on the ground, then raised his palm as a knife, with golden arcs of electricity flashing in his palm, and chopped directly at the Polaroid camera.
From Bai Ge's own perspective, in addition to the electric light belonging to the ripples, there were also purple thorny vines wrapped around his hands.
Although Bai Ge's own stand-in was banned by his sister, he can still use this functional "weak" stand-in.
There was a sound of "click" and the Polaroid camera shattered, but at the same time, a photo was spit out.
Bai Ge picked up the photo. Since Long Zhutao had provided him with information about the missing people, Bai Ge immediately recognized that the person in the photo was the one who had disappeared.
The Hermit's Purple Mind wrote down the target's real-time status, so it was obvious that this person was still alive, but was put into a sleeping chamber for some reason.
And, if nothing unexpected happens, the remaining few people may also be in this place.
"A laboratory..." Bai Ge observed the sleeping chamber carefully again, and he actually found a clue.
This is a sleeping chamber that CCG used to make for ghoul research. The green liquid inside the chamber can maintain nutrition while also having a sleeping effect.
However, with the further development of CCG technology, this type of sleeping chamber has long been eliminated, and the laboratories where these sleeping chambers are placed have also been abandoned.
There is no other way. The cost of reconstruction is not cheap, and coupled with the subsequent processing, it is more convenient to directly discard it.
There are not many laboratories of the same type, so it is not difficult for Bai Ge to investigate, but he does not want to attract the attention of CCG.
In this case, the role of At is reflected.
Bai Ge looked at Et: "Hey, Little Red Riding Hood, don't you Bronze Tree have an undercover agent in CCG? Let your undercover agent help me check something."
"Little Red Riding Hood..." When Et heard these three words, the corners of his mouth twitched under the bandage.
She was about to complain when Bai Ge interrupted her: "Don't worry about the name, just get to work. Time waits for no one."
Et: “…”
I'm so angry, but I can't beat him.
Helpless, At had to hold back his resentment and honestly contact the undercover agent planted in CCG.
Not long after, the undercover agent sent a map that clearly marked all the laboratories abandoned by CCG.
"There's only one in Area 20, but we can't confirm if it's the one where those people are."
Bai Ge pointed to a location on the map, which was not far from the rental house.
Since the information was still not accurate, Bai Ge could only check one by one nearby.
Seeing that Bai Ge had already obtained a position in the laboratory, At asked, "Hey, there's nothing for me to do now, right?"
Although she also had many questions that she wanted to verify, such as Bai Ge's purpose in investigating these two matters, and the strange ability of smashing the camera with his hands to produce photos.
But rather than solving the problem, she wanted to stay away from Bai Ge first.
This person is too dangerous. He seems to be easy to get along with now because of his sweet words, but who knows when he might betray her.
"What's the hurry?" Bai Ge looked at Et and blinked, then suddenly showed a sinister smile.
"You can leave if you want. Leave one-third of your blood for me as a midnight snack, and then you can leave."
Et: “…”
Haha, I knew this guy had bad intentions.
"I'll just go with you." She sighed helplessly.
"Tsk, what a pity." Bai Ge curled his lips, a little disappointed.
Afterwards, the two left the rental house the same way they came, but instead of going straight to the laboratory, they came to a mask shop.
In order to prevent their identities from being accidentally exposed, most ghouls will prepare a mask.
Therefore, the profession of "mask maker" emerged.
Basically, there is a mask shop in every district. Some are disguised as tattoo shops, while others are simply opened in remote and inconspicuous corners.
The one that Bai Ge and Aite came to belonged to the latter category.
"Dingling~"
"welcome."
As the doorbell rang, the two heard a dull male voice coming from deep in the room.
The man who was making the mask stood up, walked over and looked the two of them up and down.
At this time, in order to prevent unnecessary trouble, Bai Ge and Aite picked the lock of a clothing store on the way here, changed their clothes, and put on masks.
In addition, Bai Ge changed his body into a ghoul's state to avoid any problems.
"I've never seen this unfamiliar face before. Is he a new artist who recently debuted?"
Et ignored the man's question, while Bai Ge nodded.
"How long does it take to make a custom mask?" he asked.
"It's time..."
The man scratched his head and looked embarrassed. "Probably three days to a week. We've had a lot of orders lately."
"But if it's a finished product, I just got a new batch a while ago."
"Then just use the one you have available for now."
Time is precious, and Bai Ge doesn't want his plans to be affected by a mask.
"Ok."
The man nodded, then turned around and lifted the white dust cloth, revealing a wall covered with masks.
"Wow, it's quite spectacular."
Bai Ge was even a little dazzled by the masks of various styles and shapes on the wall.
After looking around, Bai Ge finally chose a pure black mask with only holes for the eyes, which was quite simple.
"That's it."
Bai Ge handed the selected mask to the other party to install the straps. The man finished it in no time and handed it back to Bai Ge.
Bai Ge tried it on and found it surprisingly comfortable and not stuffy at all.
"By the way, I'll draw you a sketch, and you can make me a custom mask based on it."
"no problem."
The man nodded and fetched drawing paper and pencil.
Bai Ge recalled the appearance of the Stone Ghost Mask, quickly drew it on paper, and marked the dimensions.
"Oh, what a unique design," the man commented, then continued, "The cost of two masks, including the production fee, is a reasonable 30,000 yen."
"Swipe your card."
Bai Ge took out his bank card and handed it to the other party.
He originally thought that the currency these ghouls used to do business was human flesh, but he didn't expect that all they had to do was pay money.
But think about it, materials and other things still need to be purchased from humans, and funds are needed to keep the store running.
Ghouls also cost money.
