Bab 97: Reasons for the Washuu
"Don't worry; this would certainly help you, and your kagune would be completed in no time."
Lucien said as he watched Touka holding a crimson red vial with his blood.
She examined the vial with his blood like some child who found a new toy on the street. It was very interesting, and also, the attraction she felt toward his blood was getting stronger and stronger.
"Drink it and digest it. You should do it here for digestion as you need a safe environment. When you are done, we will continue our training. Here, even the Washuu Clan won't dare to invade, let alone those maggots from the Commission of Counter Ghoul."
Touka was rather stunned when she heard that even the CCG wouldn't dare to invade his place, but what confused her was why he mentioned the Washuu Clan. From knowledge she knew, the Washuu Clan were humans that specialized in combating ghouls.
They weren't anything special compared to the rest of the ghoul investigators; besides, they had more advanced battle techniques and some knowledge about ghouls.
"Washuu Clan? You mean those humans that are controlling the entire CCG?"
Questioned Touka in hopes that Lucien would clarify his statement.
"H-Humans, hahaha, that's funny."
He laughed out loud when he heard that she called the Washuu Clan humans. They were many things, but to call them humans was funny. In reality, they were just a bunch of hypocrites.
"What is so funny about it? They are humans, are they not?"
Asked Touka with confusion and a weird expression on her face as she couldn't comprehend his behavior and weird aura when she mentioned the Washuu Clan.
"So, he didn't tell you anything about them? Old man Yoshimura."
Apparently, even members of the Anteiku Cafe or so-called Anteiku Faction, as Lucien named it, didn't even have any idea about the Washuu Clan being the clan of pure-blooded ghouls that infiltrated the human society for centuries and were manipulating and controlling everything out there.
They were deeply rooted and couldn't be destroyed easily through normal means, as cancer could be removed only by force.
"I should tell you one thing; this isn't something you should know with your pitiful strength. That old man probably had reasons why he didn't tell you about them, and I would not like to put you in danger. Knowing this information could easily lead to your death, my dear. Are you really sure you want to know this?"
Lucien explained to her that knowing the truth about the Washuu Clan could easily lead to misfortune and even to death. Some things were rather dangerous to know, especially those that were about the Washuu Clan in this world. Agents of the Vasuki were very good at assassinating their targets and so.
Touka was a bit lost in her thoughts before nodding her head in agreement.
She was rather curious about real identity when Lucien mentioned them now, as he also had a somewhat mysterious origin in her eyes. Even old man Yoshimura said that he knew many things that common ghouls didn't.
"So where should we start? Hmm, yes. In reality, the Washuu Clan is just a clan of ghouls."
Said Lucien with a casual voice to Touka, to which she gained expression like a hit with thunder. This news was too shocking and too unbelievable to her. The Washuu Clan, protectors of humanity in Japan, fighters against ghouls for centuries, were actually ghouls all the time.
It was a really huge eye-opening for her.
Actually, only a very few people knew about this. From the Aogiri Tree, only Eto, Tatara, and Noro knew about the Washuu Clan being ghouls. From the Anteiku, only old man Yoshimura was aware of that fact, and from the Commission of Counter Ghoul, of course, nobody knew about it besides members of the Washuu Clan, which worked as executives of the CCG.
"How is that even possible? That's too unrealistic; how could be the so-called shield of humanity a ghoul clan?"
She questioned this news, as confused much as a person could be, as this news was too unbelievable for her.
"Easily. They started infiltrating human society hundreds of years ago. When there didn't even exist some technology that could distinguish a human from a ghoul, and for a long time won't even exist. Thus they had a perfect opportunity for their infiltration, as they didn't have any problems. Soon, with their power and money, they gained a stable foothold in the country and started infiltrating the government and Imperial Court of the Emperor in the Meiji Era. They achieved glorious merits in the war against the old Shogunate, in the civil war. Afterward, they began exterminating ghouls and had great results; as they wouldn't, they were one of them. Soon, the name Washuu was connected with banishing evil human-eating creatures known as ghouls. When their power grew up enough, CCG was established by the end of the 19th Century. From then, their power grew even more as they gained a very powerful tool to manipulate the public."
Lucien briefly explained why the Washuu Clan was able to infiltrate japan so effectively and obtain huge political power. Plainly said, they had a perfect opportunity and no enemy in their plan to infiltrate human society.
Touka digested the knowledge about the Washuu Clan with great shock. To think, the Washuu Clan was planning it centuries ago, and their infiltration was something in the long term.
"Oh, and don't tell this to anybody and also pretend you know nothing about this topic, even from that old man. As I said before, you having this kind of knowledge is too dangerous for you with your current pitiful strength."
He then stood up and walked away, leaving Touka alone in the training room.
She was staring at his fading image in the distance as she returned to repeating the moves he taught her today. She was determined to be strong because, from his word, she knew that her strength was almost non-existent.
