Chapter 125: Chapter 126: No One Can Stop Him!
"Vice-captain Kujo knocked Captain Hachikawa unconscious!"
The third squad members stared with wide eyes, mouths agape, their jaws nearly dropping to the floor in shock.
A squad member who had some friendship with Hachikawa looked angrily at Jotaro and said, "Vice-captain, wasn't what you just did a bit too much?"
"The great enemy is in front of us! Even if you and the captain have conflicts, these personal matters should be put aside for now! We…"
Sensing Jotaro's cold gaze, the one speaking shut his mouth in embarrassment.
Jotaro no longer paid attention to these dissatisfied squad members. He glanced sideways at the half-lying Irimi Kaya on the ground and said, "If you don't want to die, take your people and leave quickly."
Irimi Kaya was stunned when she heard that, and confusedly said, "What do you mean by this?"
"As an investigator of the CCG, you're letting a ghoul go?"
She suddenly realized she couldn't see through this man in front of her.
Although she didn't know Jotaro's reasons, she couldn't leave here.
"Sorry! I can't leave! The reason I'm fighting here is because there's something important I have to protect."
"I can't let you all go any further!"
To buy time for the other ghouls in the 20th Ward to escape, she had to hold off the CCG's extermination squad here.
"Boss!"
Maybe the nearby investigators had been dealt with, several of Irimi Kaya's subordinates rushed over to support.
Seeing their boss lying injured on the ground, how could they not panic? And this CCG investigator was standing right in front of their boss.
The few exchanged glances, and immediately launched an attack on Jotaro.
They were the strongest among the Black Dobers, and also Irimi Kaya's most trusted aides.
Having fought many battles together, the tacit understanding between them had already reached the level of "linked minds."
Just one glance, and it was as if they had already locked in a strategy.
"Wait!"
Irimi Kaya supported herself and tried to stop them, but she was a step too late.
They scattered in all directions, some standing sideways on walls, some crouched on streetlight poles. Regardless of position or posture, their attacks were already ready to launch.
In an instant, several black shadows dashed out, overwhelming and covering every angle, surrounding Jotaro completely without any blind spot.
"If you don't leave now, you'll die."
Jotaro's hands never left his pockets, and beneath the brim of his hat, his light green eyes flashed with sharp light.
He did not stop time, but simultaneously on all their clothes appeared a ripple mark.
A massive impact crushed the fabric on their chests into dust.
Irimi Kaya's eyes widened and instantly shrank, unclear whether it was from fear or shock, her dark pupils trembled violently.
She only felt like her heart had been stepped on. Breathing was no longer smooth. After a long pause, she finally used a trembling voice to say, "We… will… leave…"
These three words seemed to have used up all her strength. She suddenly collapsed, hands on the ground, her uneven breaths rising and falling.
At this moment, she felt relieved, no pain at all.
If a person had already been overwhelmed by despair,
then they would no longer feel pain.
Her sixteen comrades had died in an instant. Sixteen lives were so easily taken.
The blood holes in their chests kept enlarging in her eyes. It was as if she could see the scenery behind them through those holes.
She had also killed many people, but in the face of such a tragic scene, perhaps she would develop trauma toward killing in the future.
She hadn't even seen Jotaro's movements.
'Just like that, simple and clean… Is life really so fragile?'
"Why haven't you scrammed yet?"
Jotaro remained indifferent. From his face, one couldn't see a trace of guilt, as if the one who had just taken lives wasn't him at all.
Irimi Kaya lifted her head. Her gaze was scattered, the sharpness from before now gone.
She said, like half crying and half laughing, bitterly, "Scram? Would leaving now still be of any use?"
Let alone her, even that manager might not be able to stop this guy.
She now had a clear understanding of Jotaro's strength.
She couldn't stop Jotaro's steps forward, if he caught up to the fleeing ghouls…
Just thinking about it made her face go pale.
Facing a person like this…
"I can't protect anything at all!"
Jotaro looked slightly helpless. "It's best that you understand that."
He had only intended to give her a light warning, to get the ghouls to quickly leave the battlefield, but didn't expect Irimi Kaya to directly break down emotionally.
"Yare yare daze…"
He looked at her and said plainly, "I didn't kill them."
Irimi Kaya suddenly raised her head and looked toward the fallen ghouls. Only to see though their chests were bloody and mangled, they were still breathing.
The powerful force had blasted their chest flesh to pieces, but their internal organs were completely intact. Blood-red hearts were still beating.
The sight was shocking. Irimi Kaya's face was filled with horror. It was as if her body had forgotten how to breathe.
'What kind of power could do this!?'
Her trembling gaze shifted to Jotaro's cold and stern face.
'Is this guy really human!?'
Jotaro didn't notice her expression, he just said calmly, "Now you should understand, staying here has no meaning. Before my patience runs out, take your people and get out of the battlefield."
Irimi Kaya slowly stood up from the ground and asked, "You won't pursue us?"
Jotaro said, "I have no interest in doing that."
"But…" Irimi Kaya looked toward the investigators approaching behind Jotaro, and said bitterly, "It seems your companions don't think the same."
The investigators had all heard Jotaro telling Irimi Kaya to leave just now.
Even if Jotaro's strength shocked them, watching ghouls escape alive in front of their eyes, how could they be willing?
"Vice-captain Kujo! What's the meaning of this? Letting ghouls leave? Our mission is to annihilate them!"
Each team member was filled with righteous indignation.
Irimi Kaya held her wounded left side and muttered, "With them blocking us, we won't be able to leave anyway."
"That's fine."
In an instant, the squad members all flew away, fainted to the ground.
If these people continued to fight, who knows how many would survive to see tomorrow's sun. Jotaro merely helped them get a good night's sleep.
Even if Jotaro explained the reasoning, these agitated squad members might not listen.
If they couldn't swallow the medicine, he could only help shove it into their stomachs.
"Not just your group, those ghouls still fighting over there, I hope you notify them too, have them retreat together."
Jotaro turned around, dropped those words, and prepared to leave.
After walking two steps, he suddenly stopped and gave a reminder, "I suggest you go east, the squad over there has already been dealt with by me."
The underground escape route was guarded by the reaper Arima. If these ghouls didn't listen to his advice and chose that direction…
Jotaro would have nothing more to say, only respect their fate.
The dazed Irimi came back to her senses, Jotaro's figure was already gone.
"What does that guy even mean?" Irimi couldn't figure it out, but for now could only follow what he said.
She stumbled over to her companions, looked at their slowly recovering chests, and let out a sigh of relief.
"Still… looks pretty serious." She looked at the still exposed hearts and lungs, and the corners of her mouth twitched uncontrollably.
"Actually, still pretty serious."
No matter what, she didn't want to become Jotaro's enemy.
Also, Jotaro's suggestion wasn't bad for them. Being able to evacuate without bloodshed, why not?
"Although the people here have been dealt with by him, there are still countless White Doves on the battlefield."
Irimi Kaya couldn't help but worry again, "In other places, evacuating as he suggests may not be so easy."
