On the street, Yang Jian stroked his chin with a smile. Yesterday's conversation with Et flashed through his mind, combined with the discovery of Li Shi's arrival just now.

He knew that the plot of the original novel was about to unfold, and he also knew that if he really wanted to do something, he should do it as soon as possible.

Now, he began to ponder some ideas that he had originally thought about but had not adopted.

Several months of dull life made him feel bored all the time.

This time, ask your conscience.

It made him realize that he had never been truly happy since he came into this world, and those false happiness could no longer satisfy him.

Especially in this world where cannibalism is happening all the time, he longs for change, longs to be able to participate in it, and even more longs for the world to respond to his arrival.

Ta-ta-ta…

The streets were quiet in the early morning. The street lights stretched Yang Jian's shadow very long. He was alone, but he blended perfectly into such a scene, seeming somewhat strangely harmonious.

After an unknown amount of time, Yang Jian stopped in front of a street sign, looked at the residential building in front, and then walked in.

dong dong dong...

"Hi……."

A familiar voice rang out along with the knock on the door.

Click...

As the door opened, Yang Jian looked at Fangcun Aite, who was still wearing the same pajamas, and extended his hand to greet her, saying with a smile:

"haven't seen you for a long time……."

"Yes, long time no see..."

Seeing that the person who came was the same as she had guessed, Ate also smiled sweetly. She had a baby face to begin with, and after she smiled, she didn't look like an adult in her 20s at all. Instead, she looked like a homely girl.

After a while, after walking into the room, Yang Jian sat down in the same seat as last time, very familiarly. At this time, his eyes were attracted by the only light on, the computer.

“This is the novel I’m writing….”

Noticing Yang Jian's gaze, At, who was sitting with him, patiently explained, then rested his chin on his hands and asked expectantly,

“Have you seen my work?”

After a while, Yang Jian smiled and shook his head, his eyes turned to Eite:

“So, these works are your experiences living in the 24th District?”

"That's it."

At spread her hands and gave an ambiguous answer. It was obvious that she didn't want to talk about her childhood. In order to change the subject, she continued to ask,

"Why do you know so many things? Even if you have met Gong Shan, there are still many things he doesn't know as much as you do. And he can't possibly tell you these things to someone you have only met once..."

Obviously, she was not idle during the time when Yang Jian was back. Moreover, as a ghoul, she was very fast in collecting intelligence. In less than a day, she had already investigated his previous route of action.

Yang Jian didn't believe that she only found out that he had drunk coffee in Gudong. She must have found out a lot. Besides, her route of action was not complicated. In such a modern society, it was very easy to investigate a person.

He didn't care about this. CCG was also keeping an eye on his movements. Similarly, some ghoul organizations must be looking for him as a dangerous person. So the saying "too many lice, no matter how itchy" is true for this situation.

Facing Eite's questioning, Yang Jian did not speak. Instead, he reached out and picked up a few wrinkled pages of waste manuscripts beside him, gently smoothed out the wrinkles with his palm, and then looked at the abandoned content on them and said:

"There are a lot of ghouls in Area 24, right?"

This question made Ate unable to react for a moment. Although she didn't know what Yang Jian wanted to say, she still patiently explained:

"There are a lot of ghouls in there. Co-ghouls are the norm, and there are so many powerful ghouls. They just ran to the surface because they couldn't survive anymore."

As he said this, Et pretended to be scared and patted his chest. But just looking at the smile on his face, you could tell that the second half of his words were not true.

"Why? Do you have any idea about the ghouls inside?"

After hearing what Et said, Yang Jian still looked at the contents on the scrap manuscript, nodded slightly, and then shook his head. This made Et look puzzled. She couldn't figure out what Yang Jian wanted to say.

Ever since Yang Jian left in the evening, he suddenly came to her again in the early morning, and until now, the topic they talked about was inexplicable, and even she could hardly keep up with the pace.

"You said before that you wanted peace?"

Finally, Yang Jian raised his head and stared at Et's pale blue eyes seriously. Without waiting for his answer, he smiled and said,

"In that case, let's have a war that will bring peace to people..."

War seemed very easy in Yang Jian's mouth, especially when he showed a gentle smile that made people feel at ease, but he said frightening words.

At this time, Et's smile became sweeter, like a blooming rose, gorgeous and beautiful. She looked at Yang Jian with anticipation, and she was looking forward to fighting with Yang Jian in the future.

………………

In the morning, Yang Jian said goodbye to Aite's residence. The two exchanged phone numbers and made an appointment for the next meeting, which would be at the Bronze Tree stronghold.

I learned from Et that the deeper you go into Area 24, the more ghouls there are, and the ghouls in the deeper areas are called tribes.

Although there are modern buildings there, the ghouls become more primitive the deeper they go because they have little contact with the outside world.

Primitive means that the ghouls who are still alive are basically strong guys. After all, they live in fighting every day, and the weak ones would have died long ago.

Even the non-combatants in the tribe have basically decent combat capabilities, which shows that what Et said was right, that is, there are countless powerful ghouls in it.

This was exactly what Yang Jian wanted. If the Bronze Tree wanted to fight against the Hexiu family, it would first need to strengthen its power.

Having dominated Japan for hundreds of years, the Hexiu family has long been a behemoth. Although there are only a few official members, the strength of its subordinate organization [V Organization] is terrifying. A single Bronze Tree cannot make any waves at all.

The members of the V organization are basically one-eyed ghouls and half-humans.

After hundreds of years of selection, there is basically no weak one. Therefore, if the Bronze Tree wants to fight against it, it must first recruit soldiers. The best place is Area 24, which has a large number of ghouls. It is complicated and there is no need to worry about being discovered by CCG in advance. Moreover, the place is headed by strong people and the number of ghouls is huge. It is simply a natural training ground.

Of course, the prerequisite is that you have to have the strength to stand on your own feet.
