Chapter 150: Extermination of the Washuu Clan

These people, Jotaro had no intention of releasing them, because there was no longer any need to send people to search for corpses.

Led by Shinobu, the research team had recently developed food that ghouls could eat.

This technology wasn't fully matured yet, but feeding the ghouls of the 24th Ward was not a difficult task.

"A city where humans and ghouls coexist?"

Under Jotaro's control, television and radio constantly broadcasted this news.

Advertisements introducing the 24th Ward were posted all over the streets and alleys of every ward.

This was extremely sensational news, and the attention it received from society was extremely high.

"Impossible! How can humans and ghouls possibly coexist! They're monsters that eat us!"

Under the influence of the Washuu Clan for many years, only a small portion of people could accept this idea. Most people still remained skeptical.

However, even if they didn't believe it, humans and ghouls in the 24th Ward were already living together.

Not everyone's life was smooth sailing. Under the temptation of high pay, some humans living unsatisfactory lives risked their lives to come to the 24th Ward, attempting to live alongside ghouls.

In the end, they found this place to be heaven!

Jobs from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., various social benefits, they had nothing else to ask for.

With their massive promotion on the internet, filming all kinds of videos reflecting the real life in the 24th Ward, more and more people became curious about it.

"The 24th Ward has already produced food that ghouls can eat. Everyone can feel completely safe here."

"The SPW Foundation has the world's top scientists. According to their research, ghouls are a pathological mutation caused by an excess of RC cells. In terms of controlling RC cells, they have already made astonishing progress! It won't be long before ghouls become just like humans."

"They were born in this world, so they have the right to live in it. If they are harmless to us humans, then why can't we accept them?"

Statements like these flooded the internet, and influenced by this, more and more humans formed groups to explore the 24th Ward.

At the same time, the famous writer Takatsuki Sen revealed her identity as a ghoul and published her most recent work, "JOJO."

In the current social atmosphere, revealing one's identity as a ghoul would instantly attract massive attention.

So it was easy to imagine how popular "JOJO" became.

In just one week, the sales alone exceeded the total of all her previous books combined.

"'JOJO' is truly a painstaking epic! So touching! Is there really such a great person in this world?"

"The story of 'JOJO' completely fascinates me. As a human, he conquered a race that feeds on humans, and even led them toward coexistence and prosperity!"

"Such charisma is unparalleled! Aside from the protagonist JOJO, I also really like the organization that's always helping him from behind."

"Wait a minute!" Some people finally caught on,

"Why does the story in this book resemble reality so much?"

"Think about it! The things done by the one who built the 24th Ward are exactly the same as JOJO!"

"Yeah!" More and more people realized this,

"But then, who's the villain?"

———

[The Washuu Clan's Enormous Mansion]

Marude Itsuki held a copy of the book, leading a large group of investigators as they stormed into the residence of the General Assembly Chairman.

'The villain? Isn't it the Washuu Clan, who controls their CCG?'

Now he wanted to verify it. Whether or not the Washuu Clan were ghouls.

But the moment he stepped into the hall, his expression turned suspicious and surprised.

Originally, he planned to shoot Washuu Tsuneyoshi once to see if he would die.

If Washuu Tsuneyoshi died, at worst he would go to jail for murder.

But if Washuu Tsuneyoshi didn't die...

Then what was the meaning of everything Marude had done over all these years!

He had long made up his mind, even if it meant going to jail, he would still pull that trigger.

———

Washuu Tsuneyoshi was already dead, lying in a pool of blood.

"What's going on here?!"

Marude shouted loudly.

Suicide out of guilt? How could that be possible!

"Deputy Director! The entire Washuu Clan, men, women, young, and old, have all been wiped out!"

"What?!" Marude kicked open the other rooms, every room was full of slain Washuu clan members.

The Washuu Clan was completely exterminated.

Marude's body couldn't help but tremble.

Without the leadership of the Washuu Clan, the CCG was basically an empty shell.

———

[CCG Headquarters, Top-Secret High-Level Meeting]

"The surveillance cameras at the scene were all destroyed. But footage before that was uploaded to the cloud."

"Based on the recording, the ones who carried out the extermination operation were Aogiri Tree. This was their leader."

The analyst pointed at the shadowy figure, "Our SSS-class most-wanted criminal, Kujo Jotaro!"

Bang!

Marude slammed his fist on the table. "It's that guy again! What is his goal!"

"Letting humans and ghouls coexist? That's impossible!"

"The Washuu Clan really were ghouls. Precisely because of that, we can't believe that monster Jotaro's nonsense!"

Hachikawa said angrily, "How can we coexist with such a cunning species!"

"Don't you all forget the hatred we carry!"

Marude glanced at him but said nothing. After a while, he took out a letter.

"This was left behind by the Chairman. After his death, the Washuu family's Furuta Nimura is to become the next Director of CCG."

His eyes were sharp, and he said in a deep voice,

"Although we were kept in the dark by the ghouls all this time, I want the CCG to continue existing. After all, the full name of CCG is Commission of Counter Ghoul! "

Most of the people present shared his view.

"But letting that clumsy First-Class Investigator be the Director, does that really work? He hasn't achieved anything."

"Compared to him, I think you, Marude, are more suitable to be Director!" Shinohara looked at his old friend and said.

Marude nodded, "As for the Director's position, I don't want to follow the will of that old man, Washuu Tsuneyoshi. I decide, let's pick someone from our own internal ranks, "

Pssht.

A kagune pierced through Marude's head.

"Aiya ya~ Even though you didn't need to die, why not just follow the contents of the will? You all still have some useful value, it's a shame for you to die."

The one speaking was the staff member who had earlier explained the footage. His face had now changed into a completely different appearance.

"A ghoul! Why is there a ghoul here!"

The remaining investigators were shocked and horrified, quickly standing up.

However, he wasn't the only ghoul here, a group of ghouls wearing clown masks broke in through the door.

Very soon, blood dyed the entire conference room red.
