I heard that Two-dimensional is very good at whitening, so I came here

"Ghoul... By the way! Where is Ying? Is he all right!?"

"Your friend falls into the hands of Baijiu, and his life will not be seriously affected."

"Shirato? I remember... we were attacked by Nishio-senpai, and then it seemed that two people suddenly appeared and chased him away..."

After the initial confusion passed, Kaneki Ken gradually recalled what happened before he lost his mind, but immediately followed by intense fear.

"That's the investigator of the Ghoul Countermeasure Bureau, a ghoul hunter composed of well-trained humans holding special weapons. You were fighting with the opponent at the time, and it was Dong Xiang and Sifang who rescued you."

Kozen Yoshimura selectively told the truth, and did not mention that Lawson shot to avoid his vitals, because Kaneki Ken still recognized his identity as a human being in his heart at this time. If he knew that CCG might not regard him as a ghoul This kind of crusade may make some irrational actions that endanger the "antique".

"Miss Dong Xiang... At that time, my brain seemed to be broken, and I actually wanted to eat Ying

, and I... don't feel hungry at all right now..."

"There is only one way for ghouls to fill their stomachs, and you should be very clear. But please rest assured that your attack on your friends was stopped by the investigators. What we let you eat are just some 'goods', no harm anyone."

"Huh!? Ugh..."

After learning that he really ate human flesh, Jin Muyan couldn't help retching, but unfortunately the contents of his stomach had already been absorbed by his hungry body.

"If you maintain that state of hunger, one day you will be unable to restrain your instinct to attack humans and even your own friends, so please recognize your current identity."

The store manager Fangcun still explained with that unhurried attitude, he knew that the young man had experienced very tragic things, so he could quickly accept his misfortune...

Chapter 16 Chapter.015 "Antique" Chef Ken Kaneki

"I...can I go back to my old life?"

"I'm afraid not. You were found out about your true identity by the ghoul investigators, and you will lose everything you have as a 'Kinmuken' in human society."

"Lost...everything as a human being? I can't go back to the past, and I can't survive in the world of ghouls. Am I already...nowhere to go?"

Kaneki Ken raised his head and looked at the old man with trembling pupils. His eyes were full of disbelief. After learning that he might become a ghoul, he has been carefully maintaining a false daily life until today. .

"No, you're wrong, you're both a human and a ghoul, and you're the only one who has a place in both worlds. Be a clerk in a coffee shop, and I'll teach you how to survive. Then...even if Only one thing is good, I hope that as a human being, you can get to know us ghouls and see whether we are just hungry beasts."

Without dodging the other party's despairing eyes, Isao Fangcun corrected Kaneki Ken's point of view with a very serious tone.He neither favors humans nor only considers the ideas of ghouls. If he is such a "one-eyed king", he may be able to bring the future he wants to see to this world.

"But...but haven't I been recognized by the investigators? Will I cause trouble to everyone if I stay in the coffee shop?"

"It doesn't matter if we only stay on the second floor or in the back kitchen, because our guests are still mainly ghouls."

"Uh...back kitchen?"

Ken Kaneki shuddered inexplicably associating with the horror scene of a pile of corpses hanging upside down by iron hooks in the kitchen. Could it be that he was asked to be in charge of cutting up human flesh?

"This is Dong Xiang's suggestion. She said that it is really suspicious that a coffee shop only sells coffee, so she intends to increase the number of products. Although I agree very much, but because the taste of ghouls is very different from that of humans, there is nothing I can do."

"But you are different from Mr. Jinmu. Based on your experience as a human being, you should be able to make delicious food. This is something that only you can do. I wonder if you are willing to help us?"

The store manager Fangcun smiled kindly and invited the young man. Maybe helping to make human food is just a trivial reason, but it is this kind of "being needed" that can give him a sense of belonging to an antique coffee shop.

"Only me...Is it only me who can do it? I...I have never worked part-time. If you don't dislike it, in the future... please give me more advice."

Ken Kaneki wiped away the tears on his face with his elbow. It was the first time he felt that he was really needed by others after being raised as a burden since he was a child, so he nodded vigorously towards the old man and officially became an "antique". A member of the coffee shop.

……

"That nurse's mouth is too hard, and I don't know what Jiana promised her. Fortunately, you can still come up with the idea of ​​tracing the address according to the landline number."

Karenina, who brought Taguchi back to the 20th division for interrogation, did not get any useful clues, because the other party was completely uncooperative, and she couldn't answer clearly no matter what she asked. Fortunately, Kano Mingbo is not professional enough to do it. Even without giving out a virtual number, the call with his subordinate still revealed his location.

"The method is always more difficult than the difficulty, but without Kalejiang's technical support, I really couldn't find the opponent's hiding place. Kanamimbo actually relayed the signal three times, which is too cautious."

"Call me senior! You guy...you only say honorifics when you have something to ask for, but for the sake of your good performance this time, I will reluctantly allow you to call me by my name, no exception."

After a few days of running-in, no matter how arrogant Karenina is, she has recognized Rosen's ability. Although she is still not convinced that the opponent's rating (rarity) is higher than her own, it has indeed greatly improved their ability to investigate "collapse" efficiency.

"Hmm, then the next step is the battle plan on how to break into Kanamimbo's lair. According to the traced communication address, the opponent's laboratory should be Anjiu's mansion in District 6, um...a large area. An astonishingly large villa, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a manor."

Rosen said that he spread out the architectural drawings of the target site on the conference table. As for how he dug out these things from CCG's internal materials, we had to start with the origin of that building.

"Does being a doctor make so much money in Japan?"

The white-haired girl raised her eyebrows in surprise. If the scale on the design drawing is true, the area occupied by this building is a bit exaggerated.

"No...you misunderstood. If it was normal, Kanamimbo would sell his hospital and buy it all.

Sorry, and don't you feel weird?Why is there a laboratory on the ground floor of the Anjiu mansion?This is not a place that can be built privately. "

This is why Lawson found these materials not in the Tokyo Metropolitan Construction Bureau but in the CCG6 branch. Simply put...that is actually a research institute belonging to the Ghoul Countermeasures Bureau, but it was privately obtained by the other party through some means. Just used it.

"Wait a minute! My mind is a little messed up, you mean Kanamimbo's human experiments are supported by CCG!?"

"To be precise, it was supported by a certain group of people. It was the [-]st District Investigator Commander Marute Saito and others who issued the mission to us and Mado Wuxu to search for the "Big Ghoul". On the surface, they were the second in command of the bureau. If he doesn’t even know the inside story, it only shows that Kanamimbo’s accomplices are not in a dominant position in CCG, otherwise this matter can be suppressed secretly.”

"I see. It always feels like we are approaching the core of the conspiracy step by step."

After listening to Rosen's analysis, Karenina's eyes suddenly widened. Sure enough, her intuition at the beginning was correct. Perhaps the culprit that caused the collapse of this world was lurking inside the CCG. Unfortunately, she can't reveal this information now. After all, they are quiet now and they are very likely to attract the attention of the enemy if they make a public statement.

"The identity of the former owner of the Anjiu Mansion, Anjiu Qisheng, is even more interesting. On the surface, he is the owner of a foreign trade company, but in fact he is a distributor who helps the Ghoul Countermeasure Bureau import CRc inhibitors from overseas. He has a pivotal position in CCG .”

The so-called CRc inhibitor is actually a special drug that can reduce the concentration of Rc cells in the body of the ghoul. The gas used by Lawson before used it as the main raw material. They are as fragile as human beings, and their importance is self-evident, and Anjiu Qisheng, which has import channels for CRc inhibitors, is naturally the top priority.

Chapter 17 Chapter.016 The Strange Anjiu Family Annihilation Case

"What is even more enviable is that Anjiu Qisheng not only had a successful career, but also gave birth to a pair of lovely twin daughters with his beautiful wife. People were killed by ghouls that suddenly broke into the house."

Rosen said it lightly as if joking, but Karenina couldn't laugh at all. Ordinary ghouls have to avoid the edge when facing human hot weapons, not to mention that there may even be CCG next to Anjiu Qisheng The investigators were dispatched to act as guards, and she couldn't believe that such a large villa plus an underground research institute didn't even have half of the security personnel.

"Isn't this too suspicious? A rich man doesn't even have a bodyguard, and he's also a partner of CCG?"

"There are only sporadic internal records to record this incident. The personnel in charge of security 'coincidentally' left for something that day, and a chased ghoul 'coincidentally' ran into Anjiu's mansion in a panic. The other party first attacked Mrs. Anjiu They turned out her internal organs and ate them, and then killed An Jiu Qisheng who was trying to avenge his wife, at this time the investigators 'coincidentally' came late."

"It is said... when they arrived, the corpses of Anjiu and his wife had been devoured beyond human appearance, and the young twin sisters witnessed the whole process."

Rosen spread his hands and said that it was such a coincidence. The reason why he used the word "supposedly" was because the investigator at the time did not take pictures to collect evidence, but only hurriedly cleaned up the body of the deceased. A few words of description.

"I knew it... and then? How are the sisters doing now?"

This obvious killing made Karenina very angry, but now she is more concerned about the whereabouts of the twins who have suffered such a tragic experience than the Anjiu couple who have unfortunately been killed.

"After this incident happened, Azuku Kurana and Aku Nabai were adopted by the Ghoul Countermeasures Education Institute. They were graduates of the same class as me, and their grades were quite excellent. It seems that the death of their parents had a great impact on them."

"By the way, there is another point to add. Their current guardian is Kano Mingbo. Most of the funds for the other party's human experiments are scraped from the inheritance inherited by the sisters through some kind of loophole. The new era is exhausted. belongs to yes."

Basically, all children who survived being attacked by ghouls will be trained by CCG to become investigators, so according to this direction, Rosen quickly determined that sister Anjiu had studied in the Second Academy, and was investigating the flow of funds in their father's estate account. Sometimes there are unexpected gains.

"It's too deceitful! I want that bastard to go to hell and make atonement!"

The white-haired girl, who has always had a sense of justice, couldn't help but yell out angrily. She thought the other party was a mad scientist, but this behavior of smashing bones and sucking marrow was even worse than that of ghouls.

"That's not the worst news. At present, the Anjiu sisters have not gone to the assigned team for an internship mission, and have been registered as missing by the headquarters. The worst case is that they have fallen into the hands of Kanamimbo. These guys can really do it." Catch a fat sheep and squeeze it to death."

Anjiu Hena and Anjiu Nabai suddenly disappeared after graduation, and the possibility of them choosing to change jobs can be ruled out.One is that the Anjiu sisters have excellent grades, and the other is that the Investigator Academy does not set up quality education courses. Many students can't even understand addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

It worked, so Rosen could only think that they had been abducted by their adoptive father.

"Let's go, let's set off as soon as possible. Anyway, we have already scared the snake. It is important to save people."

Realizing that Kanamimbo might use Sister Anjiu as material for human experiments, Karenina immediately grabbed her partner and ran out of the conference room.Rosen, who was being dragged along, also raised his right hand at this time to indicate that he still had something to say. It was not a conscious move to rush into the enemy's base camp rashly, but if he had to do this, at least find him a weapon at hand.

"I don't know how difficult the enemy will be in this operation. To be on the safe side, I need you, senior, to borrow a standard Quinker in the name of a senior investigator."

"The third-class search officer can't unlock it with fingerprints... Wait, are you trying to violate the rules?"

Due to CCG's strict management of Quinque, except for some portable or split weapons, identity verification is required every time the safe is opened, but this is not unavoidable, for example... let the white-haired girl unlock Quinque and hand it over to others to use.

……

Even on the shortest route from Nerima District to Taito District, there are still two areas between them, so it was already late when the two arrived at the Anku mansion without stopping. It may be due to the disrepair... The rusty building outside The iron gate was half-opened, and the courtyard was overgrown with weeds, and it seemed that no one had lived in it for a long time.

"Don't worry, I'll be promoted to the second-class investigator after completing this ticket, and the higher-ups won't trouble us for such a trivial matter."

"I don't care about those people's rules. The question is, can you really use a knife?"

Karenina threw the unlocked Quinker to Rosen. This is only a B-level Jiahe long knife and there is no weird deformation mechanism. The only advantage is that it is hard and sharp. Its name is "Yukimura 1/3", as the name suggests... Its raw material is only one-third of a kurbo, and the rest is made into two other weapons of the same standard.

"Don't worry. Although my American style is much better than the Japanese style, the latter is not unusable. If I have a certificate, maybe I can pass it on without permission?"

As Rosen said, he pulled 1/3 of Yukimura out of the scabbard. The scarlet blade exuded a dangerous aura. Considering Kazuko's high lethality... this weapon is probably comparable to the melting knife.

"Really or not? In short, you are not allowed to act without authorization after entering, do you hear me clearly?"

Karenina is strongly skeptical of someone's boasting, but so far she can only try to eliminate the dangers nearby. In the cold living room with no one there, there is no trace of human life at all.

"Okok... Sneaking in in the middle of the night is like visiting a haunted house. Jana Mingbo probably has another way to enter the institute, otherwise it wouldn't be so desolate."

The soles of the shoes squeaked on the moldy floor. The good news is that there is no power outage here... The bad news is that it looks even more gloomy when the lights are turned on. Rosen explored room by room along the corridor and found that Only the study room can barely see traces of recent use.

Chapter 18 Chapter.017 Sacrifice for the future of science and mankind (passive)

"It shouldn't be. In that case, where do sisters Anjiu usually live? Aren't you a graduate of the Ghoul Countermeasures Education Institute? Have you heard about their situation?"

Karenina looked around the study room suspiciously, wondering if she had gone to the wrong place, but then she saw a framed photo on the bookshelf, and when she took it off, she found that it was a photo of the Anjiu couple and their two lovely daughters. The family's smiles are content and bright...just covered in dust.

"I just graduated from the Second Academy in the setting of Naiyazi, and I don't actually have relevant memories, but I can infer from my experience that this kind of school is basically closed management. It is normal for them to never come back these years Condition."

"You still have experience in this area?"

"Damn... When I was young, my mother believed those three aunts and six wives who said that my 'mental disorder' could be cured by physical means, so I went to a special school for a period of time. In less than half a year, more than a dozen people were killed in a row, and then the relevant department called me. Stop, by the way, senior, have you found the entrance yet?"

Being suddenly attacked by dead memories, Rosen's dull expression became more lifeless. He said it was a special school, but the teachers and instructors there didn't even have relevant qualifications, even the most basic teacher qualification certificates. No.

Of course...he doesn't deny the significance of the existence of that kind of school, which is to teach a group of empty shells to pretend to live like normal people, and then suddenly get sick and stab themselves in the back at a certain critical moment.

"According to the layout on the blueprint, the access to the research institute should be next to the wine cellar on the basement floor. Be careful... Maybe there are some traps waiting for us."

"There's no need to be so troublesome, I seem to have 'seen' where Kanamimbo is."

Grabbing the wrist of the white-haired girl who wanted to move on, Rosen pointed out the window of the study somewhere in the back garden of the mansion. A conspicuous black smoke floated straight up from the ground.

"Have you found the research institute so quickly? The materials and the mother's body have not been withdrawn in time. Although Hezi's rejection phenomenon still exists, but now it can only be like this. Xiaoheixiaobai, entertain these two for father Uninvited guests..."

At this time, Kanamimbo was quickly sorting out the information, and the moment Rosen and the two stepped into Anjiu's mansion, he had actually been discovered by him with a surveillance camera, although C

The people from CG came earlier than expected, but fortunately, he had prepared the escape route from the beginning, and placed a large number of failed experimental subjects at the entrance of the research institute, which should be able to slow down the opponent's invasion.

But this would at most buy him time to evacuate. If he wanted to take away the "mother" who provided He Bao, he needed someone to stay and resist the pursuers. But anyway, it's just a test product for practicing hands, it doesn't matter if you die.

thump—

"Ok?"

A dull impact sound suddenly came from the ceiling, and the violent vibration almost caused Kanamimbo to fall off the shelf. Before he called the monitor to check what was happening outside, another impact struck again.

thump—

"Senior, aren't you from the engineering army? Why haven't you put it on after you smashed it twice?"

"Stop talking nonsense! Come and try? The outer layer of this laboratory seems to be wrapped in some kind of fleshy wall made of Hezi, back away! I want to shoot directly at the top!"

boom--

"It fell~"

Accompanied by a deafening explosion, the top of the institute was forcibly blasted out of a passage by Karenina with a heavy hammer, and Rosen, who was implicated, and suspicious flesh and tissue fragments fell freely from the hole more than ten meters high. Seeing this, the girl caught him in mid-air with both hands in the posture of a princess, and the two of them landed smoothly without falling.

"Is he Kanamimbo?"

Karenina immediately noticed the gray-haired middle-aged man on the central tower. He was wearing a white coat and looked at least 40 years old from the outside, and the entire test site was surrounded by this building. Set up, from top to bottom, it is possible to observe the data changes of all the experimental bodies in the venue when they are fighting and devouring each other.

"It turns out that the "badness" I saw just now came from this female ghoul who was imprisoned and abused. If there is no accident, she is the "big ghoul" god on behalf of the world, tsk... old man, laboratory, prison, beautiful woman , Outsiders, let the elements be full.”

Compared with Kanamimbo, who was protected in the research institute, Rosen cared more about the woman who had the Quinker steel device bound to the cultivation tank at the bottom of the tower. This S-class ghoul, who had been missing for more than a month, was now He looks quite embarrassed, his hands and feet are hung up and his whole body is naked, so he can only embarrassingly expose his private parts to others, but should he say it or not... the big one is really big.

"The stolen goods are captured together, and then just take him back to the branch."

Karenina put the heavy hammer on her shoulder, looked at the central tower with dangerous eyes, and considered what method to use to pull the opponent out of it. If this building is still composed of that kind of Hezi wall, it is estimated that the manual hammer It can't be pierced, but he is worried about killing the opponent when he fires the charged cannon. Why doesn't this guy transform himself into a ghoul?Let her clean up all the bad work.

"Aren't you... that organization sent to kill me?"

Kanamimbo tapped his finger on the fence thoughtfully. The reason why he chose to resign from Kuikulia was largely because he discovered the secrets hidden inside the CCG, and all people and things that touched it would be destroyed. It was artificially erased, and the two investigators in front of them wanted to capture him alive, although he would probably be silenced immediately after he returned.

"Which organization? I don't understand what you're talking about, but if you dare to resist, I can't guarantee that I can bring you back intact."

That's what she said, but Karenina secretly exchanged glances with Rosen who was at the side. Sure enough, there are ghosts inside the CCG... and it's not just one or two. I'm afraid the former researcher knows some important information.

"So that's the case... I just found me by accident? But since this is the case, I don't need to continue to hide anything. If you have vaguely noticed the things inside the CCG... you should be able to understand the significance of my experiment. "
