Please call me Cyber Demon King

The reason it became so popular is because the ghouls in the "high society" offered a high reward for the killer.
Even if they don't catch anyone, just providing information will earn them a considerable reward from the "upper-class ghouls".
Kaneki Ken therefore made a decision that he must be careful with his words and actions in the future and must never reveal any information related to this matter.
The high bounty was so great that even he himself couldn't help but exclaim in amazement when he heard Koma Enji mention it; the allure of the bounty to ghouls was undeniable.
Kaneki Ken knew very well that once he revealed any relevant information, he would become the target of everyone's anger and become the target of countless people.
Pressure will drive people to grow quickly. Kaneki Ken is now feeling extremely pressure. The huge bounty is like the Sword of Damocles hanging over his head, ready to fall at any moment.
Under immense pressure, he began to seriously learn how to fight from Yomo Renji, feeling that he first needed to have the ability to protect himself.
Where is the Fangcun store manager?
Ke Ling nodded to Kaneki Ken, asked about Yoshimura Kozen, and handed the Anju sisters over to Kaneki Ken.
As the "senior" of Kurona and Naoshiro, Kaneki Ken is the perfect person to show the two girls around the "Anteiku Cafe".
"The store manager in Fangcun is upstairs. Let me take you there."
Koma En'er nodded to Ke Ling and led him upstairs. This guy was also an SS-class ghoul, the "Demon Ape" who once dominated the 20th ward.
Looking at Koma En'er, Irimi Kaname, and Yoshikata Renji, Ke Ling couldn't help but marvel at the immense charm of Yoshimura Kōzen.
These once ferocious SS-rank ghouls have now become honest and hardworking coffee shop employees, living a life of frequent hunger.
If it were just based on strength, that wouldn't be anything special. The key point is that these SS-rank ghouls willingly followed Yoshimura Kozen and lived this kind of life.
The gang leader who used to live a life of luxury and recklessness has now become an ascetic who only eats once a month. It seems absurd no matter how you look at it.
"Manager Fangcun, the gentleman has arrived."
Arriving at a room, Koma En'er spoke.
"Invite him in."
Yoshimura Kōzen's voice came through, as calm and serene as ever.
"please."
Kojima En'er opened the door, gestured for him to come in, and then went back downstairs.
Ke Ling entered the room and saw Yoshimura Kōzen making coffee, looking very focused, although his eyes were not even open, making one wonder if he could see clearly.
"Sir, you've done something truly remarkable."
Yoshimura Kōzen spoke first, turning around with a cup of coffee in his hand, taking a small sip.
"It's not a big deal."
Ke Ling casually replied that he wasn't surprised that Yoshimura Kōzen knew that he was the one who did the "Ghoul Restaurant" thing.
To be honest, Kaneki Ken is really not good at lying, so it would be strange if he could fool Yoshimura Kozen.
It's even possible that Kaneki Ken didn't hide anything from Yoshimura Kozen at all, and that Kaneki Ken trusted the old man's kindness.
"You shouldn't have brought Kaneki along; he didn't have to go through all this."
Yoshimura Kozen sipped his coffee slowly and deliberately.
He didn't care that Ke Ling killed those ghouls; it was Ke Ling's karma, but Kaneki Ken didn't need to get involved in these things.
""
Ke Ling paused for a moment. These were things that Kaneki Ken was destined to experience. His special circumstances meant that he was bound to attract attention.
Getting familiar with these things and adapting to future life in advance isn't a bad thing for Kaneki Ken.
The pressure that Ke Ling put on Kaneki Ken was far greater than the normal pressure he would experience later. Flowers that can bloom on a cliff cannot grow in a greenhouse.
"Do you think he can keep hiding his identity as a one-eyed ghoul forever?"
Ke Ling emphasized the pronunciation of "one-eyed ghoul," which caused a momentary change in Yoshimura Kozen's aura.
Clearly, the "one-eyed ghoul" held a unique significance for Yoshimura Kozen; it was the deepest secret hidden in his heart.
"If he doesn't get involved in these things and just stays in line as a coffee shop employee, how could trouble possibly come his way?"
When Yoshimura Kōzen spoke up, there was actually a hint of self-deception in his words.
"Do you even believe that yourself? Kaneki Ken is a half-ghoul, and half-ghouls are extremely rare. What's more, he's artificial. If he doesn't go looking for trouble, what's so strange about trouble coming to him?"
Ke Ling leaned against the wall, shaking her head with a smile, clearly disagreeing with Yoshimura Kozen's statement.
""
Yoshimura Kozen drank his coffee in silence.
He certainly knew how rare "one-eyed ghouls" were; probably no one knew it better than him.
He also knew that someone like Kaneki Ken, who had been transformed into a "one-eyed ghoul" through surgery, must have been entangled in various causes and effects.
But after seeing Kaneki Ken, Yoshimura's deepest feelings were stirred up; it was as if he were seeing his own daughter, a one-eyed "half-ghoul" born that day.
It's clearly impossible for him to just leave Kaneki Ken alone. This not only involves his long-standing principles of conduct, but also reflects his longing for his daughter.
For Yoshimura Kozen, his relationship with Kaneki Ken was, in a sense, like a meal replacement.
“I’m not here to argue with you about Kaneki. That was his own choice. I’m here for the two half-ghoul girls.”
Ke Ling shook his head. Yoshimura Kōzen was very confident. He believed that apart from a few powerful forces, all other forces had to give him face.
So as long as Kaneki Ken stays obediently in the coffee shop, he can live a peaceful life just like them.
But the truth is, not everyone gives him face, especially his beloved biological daughter, who practically wishes he would die sooner.
"A half-ghoul girl?"
This precise term made Yoshimura Kozen's eyes widen in surprise.
"Go down and take a look. I'll briefly tell you their story."
Ke Ling gestured for Yoshimura Kōzen to follow him, and the two went down to the first floor. Ke Ling told Yoshimura Kōzen about the Anjiu sisters.
""
Yoshimura remained silent for a long time. There were actually humans willingly accepting the idea of becoming half-ghouls?!
But considering that the two sisters are seeking revenge, and that the "half-ghoul transformation surgery" also allows people to eat human food normally, it doesn't seem strange that they would accept it.
"Manager Yoshimura, these are the two girls. I'm leaving Tokyo for a while, and I hope you can look after them and make sure they don't die."
Ke Ling and Yoshimura Kōzen went down to the shop on the first floor. Kaneki Ken was busy, and Kurona and Naoshiro were not sitting down either, but were helping out on the side.
Looking at Kuro and Naoshiro helping out in the coffee shop, Yoshimura Kōzen was momentarily lost in thought. This time, he truly felt as if he were seeing his own daughter.
Of course, these two girls actually smell more like ordinary people, and this "half-ghoul transformation surgery" has indeed been well perfected as said.
This made Yoshimura feel even more sympathetic towards Kaneki Ken. How could such a bad thing happen to Kaneki Ken?
"I understand, sir. I will protect their safety."
Yoshimura sighed, but did not refuse Ke Ling's request; he had not intended to refuse in the first place.
"Thank you so much."
Ke Ling thanked Fang Cun Gongshan. With the old man's protection, at least he didn't have to worry about the two sisters getting into trouble in the short term.
"Kuronai and Naihaku, you can come to Anding Ward to help out whenever you have time. Manager Yoshimura and I have already made arrangements."
Ke Ling called Hei Nai and Nai Bai over, and then introduced them to Fang Cun Gongshan, thus becoming a familiar face to Fang Cun Gongshan.
"Yes, Master. We will help you diligently, Manager Fangcun."
Although Hei Nai and Nai Bai were somewhat puzzled, they still nodded in agreement and did not raise any objections.
"You can come to me if you encounter any trouble."
Yoshimura nodded, his feelings somewhat complicated. He really wanted to say those words to his daughter.
"Then we won't bother you any longer."
Ke Ling noticed that Yoshimura was in low spirits, so she took the initiative to say goodbye with Kuro and Naoshiro.
Yoshimura nodded, watched Ke Ling and the other two leave, then sighed and went back upstairs.
“I will be away for a while. From now on, you will train with Kaneki Ken. You can also practice breathing techniques with him.”
After leaving the "Anting District Cafe", Ke Ling said to the two sisters, Hei Nai and Nai Bai.
"Master"
Hei Nai and Nai Bai were both surprised to hear this, clearly feeling that this matter had come somewhat suddenly.
Of course, when Ke Ling asked Yoshimura Kōzen to take care of them, the two of them already had some suspicions.
"So be it."
Ke Ling didn't explain anything to them, and the three of them returned to the laboratory in silence.
"Master! Be careful, we'll be waiting for you to come back."
As they parted, Hei Nai spoke earnestly to Ke Ling, and Nai Bai also looked at him.
"Will do."
Ke Ling smiled and nodded, then left without saying anything sentimental. It wasn't a matter of life and death; he might be back in a couple of days.
After leaving the laboratory, Ke Ling used the money she had plundered from the "Ghoul Restaurant" to purchase a batch of supplies in the market and put them into the storage space in the shadows.
Since he was going back, Ke Ling naturally wouldn't forget his plan to be a middleman in another world.
In addition to meat, Ke Ling also packed a lot of tea and fruit to change things up and increase the variety of goods.
"Back to the past."
After purchasing the goods, Ke Ling immediately chose to return.
The "Return to the Past" message popped up with an option to select a world. This time, there were two choices, and Ke Ling chose "Cyberpunk".
[Time travel complete]
Current World: Cyberpunk
A flash of light appeared before his eyes, and Ke Ling had returned to "Night City," back to the dark alley where he had left.
Night City remains the same, its neon lights creating a mesmerizing atmosphere that makes it seem like a dream city, unlike anything in the real world.
