[Tokyo Ghoul] Domestication

I met the silent old man in a coffee shop.

Although his sitting posture shows his old age, his eyes are as fierce as that of young people. From the degree of his muscular development, it can be imagined that this person must have had a passionate experience different from ordinary people when he was young.If it is a body that is exercised to attract girls, it may have become vulnerable at this age.

Greeted to the waiter as usual, I ordered a cup of coffee and sat on the seat opposite the old man, he immediately raised his head vigilantly, noticing this, I showed a confident smile unabashedly.

"It's rare to meet someone your age in a place like this," I said.

The old man’s eyes widened slightly, and I don’t know if it was because of surprise or something else. I even felt that he saw other people through me. Thinking of this, I couldn’t help but feel chills down my back. Maybe this person was an exorcist when he was young. The teacher may also, it seems that the next work will be changed to a novel with a supernatural theme.

"Are you laughing at me?"

"No." I propped my head up with my hands. Although this gesture was a little provocative in front of people of his age, I think it can create a sense of intimacy from the perspective of age difference. Think about it, if you are young In front of the old people, they always have a straight back and look so reserved. It is difficult for the old people to speak well if they have some conservative and strict past stories.

"I think you are special."

"That's right."

The old man took a sip of his coffee, and his eyes became hollow. I seemed to see a veteran general bowing his head and recalling his past achievements. The bitter and blood-red history revealed a little bloody smell in the hot coffee.

"You are a ghoul, right? Don't worry, as a book writer, I can still keep this secret." I said with a smile. Dangerous things to say in front of other races. "By the way, my observation skills are very good, old man. Although the sugar cube just now can't explain anything, your eyes and small movements reveal a lot of information."

"You are brave," said the old man.

I talked a lot, but the answer the other party gave me was only so little, which was really nerve-wracking. If the interview turned into a simple chat, it would be a waste of time for me to run away from home.

"What's your name?"

"Kanekiken."

"Wow!" I exclaimed, and said, "It looks like a suitable name for the protagonist."

Trying to search for information about the name "Kanekiken" in my mind, but probably because of the time issue, I can't draw any conclusions as long as the information is older, unless the person I caught is a super famous guy, but Think about it too, very famous people are either dead long ago or never seen at all, and the ones that can be found are basically unknown people.So I clapped my hands suddenly, put my hands together, and threw out the attentive smile that I had practiced for a long time, ready to go directly to the topic.

"So... Mr. Kaneki Ken, can you tell me the story of your youth?"

"It's hard for you to spend so much effort to find me, but I won't tell you everything." The old man named Jin Muyan put on a gesture of resistance, "You can know that it was able to be published in the newspaper at that time."

It sounds pretty smooth, so you can tell me what it means...?

"Oh! All right, all right! I don't have much information about the early years! Please tell me!"

Jin Muyan said: "Then, how did you find me?"

"Well, I just searched casually on the Internet, and then found an intelligence website with a little trick, where I saw your photo and the places you often appear." I said it all honestly. "I just searched for the important characters of the previous era. That intelligence website didn't report all of a person's family background. If you want more detailed information, you have to pay, and it will make me bankrupt. But you There is no more detailed information to choose from under your name, I think you must have a story to tell, so I came here."

"You can go to other people, right? The person with little information might be a dangerous person." Jin Muyan said.

"The ones that cost money may just provide some boring stories!" I slapped the table angrily. "I've met this kind of guy before! In vain I spent so much money on getting news, and everything I said was perfunctory."

"However, Makino Katsuki." Kaneki Ken said my name, which is not surprising, "The money you earn from writing books is enough for ordinary people to live for a few lifetimes, right? And, if the amount of information required is large, then It is definitely valuable. Besides, I think you are quite experienced in finding someone like me, and you put on a very confident posture as soon as you appeared, and you probably have a deep hidden means of saving your life."

"all right!"

I exaggeratedly made a "V" gesture, but almost got excited and turned into a middle finger, "The only thing I didn't say is that I'm stingy! Although I make a lot of money, I have always been short of money. Of course, it's ridiculous to say it. Ah Ahh, off topic! I answered your question, now, Kaneki-san, can you tell me your story?"

"Yes." Kaneki Ken's answer became short again, but this may prove that the story in the future will be very exciting, and I can't help but have some small expectations in my heart.His guess about my identity just now was actually only half right, but he is quite a good guy who can guess so much.However, it is not impossible for everyone to guess correctly, but how many people can there be in the whole world?I don't know how many guys I can meet in my life who can know more than half of the information just by observation...

I thought Kaneki Ken would tell his own story from the beginning, but I didn't expect him to talk about others.

"What I want to talk about is my teacher when I was young."

"So, what kind of person were you when you were young? What kind of influence did that teacher have on you?"

Kaneki Ken narrowed his eyes, as if he was very tired. I think he hasn't had a good sleep for a long time. In order not to affect the other party's ability to express, I suggested: "You look very tired. How about it? Do you want to go back and have a good sleep?" Get some sleep? We'll talk about it later."

It's really incredible that he looks so healthy, but he suddenly became weak just now.My worry comes from the bottom of my heart, after all, the other party has human skin.Although he is a ghoul, he is not a vampire without a heartbeat, and will die one day.

"No. Let's move on."

"He was a very willful person. By chance, we became a teacher-student relationship. It is also possible to write a novel about my experience, but I privately think that my teacher... should have a more exciting relationship than me. Let's live. You also know that the survival of the ghouls in that era was much more difficult than it is now, and the government can recognize our existence, but it has gone through an extremely difficult period of reconciliation."

Today's laws have rules tailored for ghouls, and their punishment is much stronger than that of ordinary humans. If it is slightly heavier among humans, if it happens to ghouls, it will be shot.I took out the notebook I had prepared and wrote "The social status of the ghouls has changed". This is a plot that can be well developed. At the same time, a gray image of a thin and thin boy vaguely appeared in my mind.

"I used to be a human being." Kaneki Ken said.

I was surprised: "Then do you think you are lucky or unlucky?"

The success rate of previous surgeries was very low, and Ken Kaneki's ability to win the lottery is also...a bit of a wonderful character.

"I'm 100% saying that it's luck." Kaneki Ken said, "I have met many people, I have had many experiences that I will never forget until I die, and I have fought many tragic battles. The ghouls gnawed away nothing, just spent this life in a mediocre way. I was also a passionate young man who wished for a different experience, but I didn’t know that this dream had come true so early.”

The technology of the old era is much behind than it is now, but they should not be underestimated.

Many war movies I have watched flashed a lot of fragments in my mind, and only a few of them had ghouls.Not to mention which director who is not afraid of death is willing to shoot such a hated subject, if the actor hired is a ghoul, the predetermined ending will definitely be unsatisfactory.In any case, the human side has to win the film made by human beings. It's too bad for the ghouls to win.

In those few movies, most of the characters who are racially ghouls don't end well.With few enemies, there are no other weapons except Hezi, and the stamina and attack power are also uncertain... Anyway, it is death.

Kaneki continued: "I always feel that ghouls are powerless in fighting humans, but my teacher... By the way, he is also a half-ghoul. He is the most suitable for war among all the people I have ever met."

I joked, "You guys just make a couple."

Ken Kaneki was silent for half a second strangely, as if he was thinking about the feasibility of what I said just now, this is a bit of a waste of time, I didn't come here specially to remind people of the past, so he said quickly: "Ahem, Go on, go on."

"Huh." The old man took a long breath and continued: "What I said next may be a little fantasy. Some things that person experienced later made me doubt his identity, and I even gave birth to the phrase 'the other party is not from this world. But before that, let me introduce some characters, you just need to remember their code names. The first is the violent woman. She has a very awkward younger brother. Little trouble, of course, her younger brother is also one of the fuses for my second transformation. I have not been in touch with that pair of siblings for many years; then there is a gourmet, just like his nickname, he likes meat with a good taste, We're also... quite a wonderful partnership, everyone thinks he pretends to be close to me so that he can eat me himself one day, but it's hard to say how it actually is.

"Gourmet has actually helped me a lot, and I didn't pay special attention to him because of his seemingly good relationship with me... Then, he died last year." Kaneki Ken said calmly.

Everyone will die one day.

The author has something to say:

Parallel world side story, which plots will be the same as the main world, you can guess ╮(╯-╰)╭

I wrote this because I knew the news that Wolverine was about to die in the comics (. Some people say that Wolverine is old and he is tired, so Sangxin QAQ is right...everyone will die of old age one day , not those gays drinking ketchup (yes, this is talking about vampires in the style of girl comics, I only admit that the vampires in Hellsing are qualified vampires!)

And this chapter looks abusive... I still haven't changed my damn writing style_(:з」∠)_
