Chapter 137 - 138: Personally Settling the Trouble Jotaro went to several places where Shinobu and Nezuko often went, and finally returned home, but did not find their figures anywhere. His fists unconsciously clenched, knuckles already pale, bones creaking. Just as he guessed, the person secretly targeting him would definitely make a move on the people around him. Although he didn't know who the other party was, he could feel the deep hatred from them toward him. Nezuko and Shinobu were important companions who were dragged into this world because of him. If they fell into danger and lost their lives, he didn't know what he would do. Usually, he would abide by certain rules of the human world, but in special situations, he would treat them specially. For example, when his daughter's life was threatened, he would ignore the laws of the beautiful country and escape prison with her. Getting angry now was useless. Jotaro calmed his anger and his brain began working at full speed. According to his speculation, since the enemy's target was him, then Shinobu and Nezuko probably wouldn't be in mortal danger. Going further, at the very least the two were safe right now. If they had fallen into the enemy's hands, the enemy would definitely have contacted him. Just as Jotaro was about to look for clues about the two again, his phone rang. [Caller: Shinobu!] In an instant, his expression turned gloomy, was it really Shinobu calling, or someone else? "Jotaro-san?" What came from the phone was an ethereal voice Jotaro knew extremely well, it was that woman. "Where are you two? Why didn't you answer my calls just now!" Knowing they were safe, Jotaro's expression eased slightly, and he hurriedly asked. "Sorry. Nezuko and I were just attacked by people of unknown identity, it wasn't intentional." "You two are okay, right? Tell me where you are!" Sensing the concern in Jotaro's tone, Shinobu smiled and said, "We're fine, we're fine. The place is that abandoned building where the steel bar fell before." They originally planned to go home, but who would've thought several unknown people in black clothes suddenly appeared. These people didn't say much, immediately surrounded them and launched a fierce attack. If it had been the old her, dealing with these people would've been quite difficult, but during this time, she had been training Haki diligently. Recently, she also developed a special drug specifically against ghouls. These people became weak as soon as she injected a little bit of the drug into them. With the support of Haki, she easily cleaned them up. When Jotaro arrived, he saw the two of them sitting leisurely to the side, doing nothing, while numerous black-clothed corpses lay all over the ground, he was slightly surprised. Seeing him appear, the two immediately stood up, beaming with brilliant smiles, and waved at him. "Yare yare daze..." He had envisioned countless scenarios, never expecting this outcome. The enemy had indeed tried to go after Shinobu and Nezuko, but had been taken care of by them instead. His gaze landed on their curvaceous figures, and Jotaro realized he had underestimated them. Their strength was even greater than he had imagined. "This is...?" Jotaro bent down and turned over one of the black-clothed people on the ground, discovering that the body was cold, already dead. The other black-clothed people around were the same. He looked toward Shinobu. This woman shouldn't be the type to use such deadly force on beings other than demons. "They seemed to realize they couldn't escape, so they committed suicide." Shinobu walked over, violet mist swirled in her eyes, revealing a trace of pity. "Looks like they were death soldiers raised by someone else." She squatted beside Jotaro, tilted her head to look at him, and said, "As for why they attacked Nezuko and me, I have no clue at all." "But..." Her expression turned a bit serious, "I did discover something interesting." Jotaro knew the reason behind the attack on Shinobu and Nezuko, but likewise, didn't know where these people came from. He was indeed interested in Shinobu's discovery. "What did you find?" "These people are neither human nor ghoul, more like the product of a fusion between the two." Shinobu slowly explained, "A ghoul's power mainly comes from the Rc cells inside their bodies." "The pathological trait of ghouls is the loss of control over the Rc cells inside their bodies. Whether it's to help ghouls live like humans or to solve the Rc cell overproduction disease found in humans of this world..." "Rc cell suppressants are a drug that must be developed." Jotaro nodded. Having worked at the CCG for a period of time, he was naturally well aware of such Rc inhibitors. But such things were specifically for ghouls, production and sales were tightly controlled by the CCG, and ordinary people could barely get them. "During the battle with them, I injected the suppressants into their bodies. Strangely, although they're human, after the suppressant entered, they suddenly became very weak." "So I concluded that the Rc cells in their bodies far exceed that of ordinary people, somewhere between human and ghoul." Jotaro straightened his body and said calmly, "Half-human." "Half-human?" Shinobu asked curiously. "Jotaro-san, could it be you know their origins?" "Mm." He then told Shinobu the intelligence he had gotten from Arima. Shinobu murmured, "As expected, ghouls and humans should be the same species, or rather, different subspecies of the same species." This further solidified her confidence in continuing her research. Since both could reproduce, living together was not a fantasy. The identity of half-human reminded Jotaro of the 'V Organization' Arima mentioned. It couldn't be wrong, these people came from the "V Organization," and the one targeting him was a member of the Washuu family. But why did the other side do this? So far, he hadn't done anything that harmed the Washuu family. Someone of his strength was very suitable to be a sword in their hand. Before he exposed his true intentions, the Washuu family had no reason to act against him. Suddenly, he recalled the death of Washuu. In an instant, countless pieces in his mind linked together. "So that's it. Looks like the Washuu family isn't of one heart and one mind either." A sharp light flashed in Jotaro's eyes, his eyes were as sharp as a hawk's. Although he couldn't pinpoint a specific individual yet, he had already guessed the background of this person. Most likely, a member of the Washuu branch family. "Jotaro-san, what are you talking about?" Shinobu tilted her head and asked. "It's nothing. It's just that you two surprised me." Jotaro closed his eyes, a faint smile on his lips. "Half-humans are very strong. I didn't expect you two to settle them without a scratch." "I've always underestimated you." The stronger his companions were, the less danger they would face in the future world. He truly felt happy for them from the bottom of his heart. ═❀═❀═❀═❀═❀═❀═ patreon.com/XenosX ????Joining Patreon keeps me motivated and eager to work diligently, so please consider joining.????
