Reincarnation Paradise: Abyss Guardian

Chapter 48

"Kaneki, your eyes...?"

Qiu Ao raised his hand, as if trying to pick off Kaneki Ken's blindfold.

Backed away continuously, knowing that there was no way to retreat by leaning on the table, Qiu Ao's wrist was grabbed by the store manager: "Mr. Injured, there is no need to be so strict."

"Is the eye injured?" Qiu Ao raised his eyebrows, "But when Shizao and I called an ambulance for him, it seemed that the eye was not injured, right?"

"No."

"..."

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

I wanted to find a reason to prevaricate, but I didn't expect to hit the gun directly.

Kaneki himself was also very surprised.

"Since you are injured, rest well and pay attention to your body."

Staring into the store manager's eyes, Qiu Ao withdrew his hand, now is not the time to do it, just wait for CCG's arrangement, there is no need to do it by himself.

The previous incident in District 4 was purely an accident. He never thought that it took more than two hours for the support to arrive late. He had already said that he wanted to clear District 4 when he left.

"Thank you, Sharjah, for your concern. What do you three want to drink today?"

"The news about the store manager Fangcun seems to be very well-informed. Not only does he know about me, he also knows about my promotion."

"After all, he is an excellent investigator in District 20, so of course he needs to know more about it."

"Please give me honey water, Shizao, Xiao, what do you drink?"

"Cappuccino!"

Mado Akira didn't say anything, his eyes wandered to the ghouls in the room.

"Where is this lady?"

"She was in a bad mood, so she stopped drinking."

The three of them sat in a corner where no one was there, Mado Akira's gaze moved with the movements of the shop assistants, while Qiu Ao was always watching the shop manager Yoshimura Koyoshi.

The old man who kept his elegant posture all the time was the only concern he didn't want to do directly.

He seems kind, like a gentleman, but in fact, the people and ghouls he has eaten can blow up this coffee shop.

SSS level, the same level as Aite, really hands-on, it is hard to say who is stronger, but it is definitely one of the strongest combat forces in this world.

"Guest, your meal."

"Thank you."

Qiu Ao pushed the cup to the middle of the table, and stopped Kaneki Ken who turned around: "Mr. Kaneki, do you know where Ms. Kirishima Dongxiang has gone?"

"Dong Xiang is sick, is Sharjah looking for Dong Xiang?"

Fangcun Gongshan ended up talking, which made Kaneki Ken a lot easier, and he stepped away from the three of them.

"No, I'm just wondering why I didn't see her. After all, she was the waiter the last time I came here."

"That's really unfortunate. Dong Xiang may have to rest for a while due to illness, and she probably won't come back to work in the near future."

"It's okay, does the store manager know where Ms. Kirishima Touka's home is? Or which hospital is it? I want to go and greet her."

The store manager apologized: "I'm very sorry, this is Dong Xiang's privacy. Although as the store manager, I don't know about the employees' private affairs."

"Okay then, thank you for your cooperation."

"Have a nice meal."

The exchange ended here, Qiu Ao sipped the water little by little, thinking about his next actions, until the glass of water bottomed out.

"Huh? Xiao, give me the money."

"Guests walk slowly."

After the investigators left, Fangcun Gongshan let out a long sigh, Kaneki Ken stammered and asked him: "I, I will, be killed?"

"I know how."

"But, I'm human."

"Human?" Ru Jianxuan covered her mouth and smiled coquettishly, "Jin Mu-jun is really cute."

"The human beings you mentioned mean the human beings who cannot eat the same kind of food as humans?"

"Looking forward to the appearance of other identities, it's really like the way I stayed up late reading novels back then."

Hearing Ru Jianxuan's rhetorical question, Kaneki Ken's body shook, leaning his back on the bar counter, and fell to the ground.

Yes, although he has always refused to admit his identity as a ghoul in his heart, and has always firmly believed that he is still a human being, but the obvious changes in his body remind him all the time that everything has become different from the past.

Beyond human physical strength and perception, disgusted by human food.

There is also the most unacceptable thing for him, when seeing human beings, no matter men, women, young or old, they will immediately think of 'food'.

The so-called "I am still a human being" is more like a ridiculous lie used to deceive myself.

The body... seems to be turning itself into a monster.

"It's okay."

A big hand covered Kaneki's head, the store manager squatted down, took off Kaneki Ken's blindfold, revealing black and red eyes, and covered the right half of his face with his right hand.

"Ghoul."

Covering the left half of the face with the left hand, and taking the right hand away, said again: "Human beings."

"Jin Mu-kun is a different existence from all of us."

"Besides ghouls... monsters?"

"No, it's symbiosis."

"I saw in Jin Mu's body the relationship between humans and ghouls that goes beyond life and death."

"...the store manager?"

"Don't be afraid, Jin Mu-jun, live well here, you represent a brighter future."

Ken Kaneki looked at the store manager with blank eyes, unable to understand the meaning of what he said.

"Yuan'er, let's take Jin Mu-jun to rest for a while."

"Let's go, Jin Mu-jun."

…………

"You're doing well, I thought you'd lose control of yourself."

Back in the car, Qiu Ao was surprised by Mado Akatsuki's performance. He thought she would lose her mind and start doing it directly, or she would quarrel and expose some information.

Unexpectedly, none of this happened in the end.

"Just a little bit."

Mado Akatsuki said with a wry smile: "When I knew the murderer was right in front of me, but couldn't do anything, I really wanted to destroy everything."

"Although Touka Kirishima is temporarily missing, there are other ways to find him."

"what?"

Mado Akira looked at Qiu Ao in astonishment.

"Kirishima Touka has a younger brother named Kirishima Xuanto, who is Kirishima Touka's biological younger brother and also one of the cadres of the Bronze Tree."

Qiu Ao kept pointing his fingers on the car window, his eyes were deep: "Sifang Lianshi, that is, the silver-haired man in the coffee shop just now, is the uncle of Kirishima Touka and Kirishima Xuandu, if the rabbit can't catch it, Shall we try to catch the crow?"

"As far as I know, he seems to be also responsible for collecting food for the ghouls in the Anding area."

"Please Sharjah, please avenge me!"

Mado Akira bowed his head to Qiu Ao, tears dripped from his eyes and hit his hands.

"Don't worry, even if there is no matter about Mr. Mato, they will be dealt with. There will never be any buffer or room for relaxation between humans and ghouls."
