Studying biochemistry in anime is definitely a mistake

However, just as Kamishiro Rize had just inserted her kagune into Kaneki Ken's abdomen, several steel bars used for construction suddenly fell from the roof of a nearby building and hit Kamishiro Rize on the ground.

Kamishiro Rize was buried under the steel bars on the spot. Although Kaneki Ken escaped temporarily, his organs were still shredded into pieces by Kamishiro Rize's [Kagune], and it was only a matter of time before he died.

"Really? You have to clean up your toys after playing with them."

Urakami looked at the guy wearing a clown mask who threw the steel bars from the roof. After confirming that the other party did not notice him, he turned around and disappeared into the darkness.

At the same time, after watching a movie in Nerima District, Nantenjin and Sanka Reiya also took a taxi and started their journey home.

"Hey, Nan Tianren, let's go camping tomorrow."

Sanka Reiya suggested, resting her head on Nantenjin's shoulder.

"No, I have an experiment to do tomorrow. I've already wasted a lot of my time just to have dinner and watch a movie with you today."

Nan Tianren said, turning his head to look out the window, then suddenly turned to look at the taxi driver:

"Driver, is this your first day at work?"

"No... no! I've been doing this for many years."

The taxi driver hesitated for a moment, but replied immediately.

"Really? Then let me ask you, this place! Why isn't it the way to Shinjuku?!"

Nan Tianren's eyes suddenly became sharp as he looked at the taxi driver.

The next second, the taxi driver, Saeki Sorao, codenamed Torso, immediately aimed at Nan Tianren in the back seat and extended his kagune to attack.

Nan Tianren acted decisively, picked up Sanhua Limi and pushed open the car door to escape.

"So there really are such things, so-called ghouls."

After landing, Nan Tianren immediately let go of Sanhua Limi in his arms and quickly chased after the speeding taxi. He took two steps at a time and jumped onto the roof of the taxi. Then he raised his right hand and fired a magic gun at the taxi driver in the driver's seat.

[Ghouls] have extremely strong defenses, and their skin is several times harder than alloys. Ordinary swords and bullets cannot penetrate their defenses at all.

So when facing Nan Tianren's attack, Saeki Sorano didn't even think about dodging, and as a result, Nan Tianren's sharp hand cut off his ear with one blow.

"Did it miss the mark?"

Nan Tianren withdrew his right hand and aimed at the taxi driver's head again.

"Wha...what?!"

Feeling his ear being chopped off by Nan Tianren with his bare hands, Saeki Sorano looked up at Nan Tianren on the roof of the car in disbelief.

Then, Nan Tianren fired his second [Magic Gun], aiming directly at the taxi driver's crown.

Seeing this, Saeki Sorano didn't dare to take it head-on, and quickly opened the car door and jumped out to escape.

"What kind of monster are you?! You can actually break through the defense of a [Ghoul] with your bare hands!"

Saeki Sorano stretched out his kagune to protect himself and looked at Nan Tianren as if he was facing a formidable enemy.

"That's disgusting. I don't want to be described as a monster by a man-eating monster like you."

Nan Tianren jumped out of the out-of-control taxi and rushed towards Saeki Sorano again.

Saeki Sorano did not dare to be careless and immediately swung his kagune to stab Nan Tianren's vital points.

But Nan Tianren easily reached out and took the opponent's kagune, used the force dissipation technique to neutralize the opponent's force, and then suddenly exerted force, grabbed the opponent's kagune, and performed a beautiful over-the-shoulder throw, smashing it heavily on the asphalt road.

"Come on, you're weak."

For the current Nan Tianren, Saeki Sorano, who can only fight by relying on his strong physical fitness and does not know any fighting skills, is even weaker than the black ghost released by the demi-human Sato.

"monster!"

Saeki Sorano roared, aimed at Nan Tianren and shot out his second kagune, but was also caught by Nan Tianren.

Nan Tianren then stepped on Saeki Sorano's back, and with a little force, he pulled the other's two kagune off his body.

"You're amazing. You were able to defeat an A-rank ghoul with your bare hands. You're the first one I've seen, besides Kuroiwa Special."

A sickly old man with white hair and uneven eyes suddenly appeared beside Nan Tianren.

"Nice to meet you. I'm CCG Special Investigator Yukinori Shinohara."

Another middle-aged man with a calm and reliable look introduced himself to Nan Tianren.

"And he is my partner, CCG Senior Investigator Mado Wuxu."

Shinohara Yukinori continued to point at the sick old man who was finishing off Saeki Sorao and introduced him.

"What is CCG?"

Nan Tianren immediately asked Shinohara Yukinori about the doubts in his heart.

"The CCG is the Countermeasures Bureau of Ghoul, a national agency that conducts investigations to resolve ghoul-related incidents."

Yukinori Shinohara continued to explain to Nan Tianren.

"Young man, what is your name? Are you interested in joining CCG? I am willing to be your guarantor."

Mado Wuxi concluded that the strength of the man in front of him was probably not inferior to the strongest investigator of CCG - [White Death] Arima Takamasa. If CCG can get his help, then revenge for his wife and killing [One-eyed Owl] would be just around the corner.

"Why should I join CCG? What are the benefits for me?"

Nan Tianren asked back to the two of them.

"Well... with great power comes great responsibility. If you are willing to join us, we might be able to save more people. Every time we kill a ghoul, we might be able to save a family. As long as ghouls still exist in this world, there will be countless people who will be unable to sleep at night for fear of losing their loved ones. So, in order to give peace of mind to the weak, I hope you can join us."

Mado Wuxu replied to Nan Tianren with great righteousness.

"You sound really nice. I'm a little tempted. But if you don't show me something practical, I'm afraid you won't be able to convince me with just morality."

Nan Tianren shook his head.

"Then what do you want?"

Yukinori Shinohara asked Nan Tianren.

"It's not impossible for me to join the CCG in exchange for all the research data on [Ghouls] that you have acquired so far!"

Nan Tianren then put forward his own conditions.

"This... I'm afraid we can't give you an answer right now."

Yukinori Shinohara neither agreed nor refused, but said that he needed to go back and discuss the matter with the headquarters before making a decision.

"Then come back to me when you can give me an answer."

Nan Tianren said, waved his hand and turned to leave.

"I haven't asked for your name yet!"

Shinohara Yukinori called out loudly towards Nan Tianren's departing back.

Chapter 132 Half-Ghoul

"My name is Nan Tianren!"

Nan Tianren said, and then disappeared into the darkness with Sanhua Limi.

A week later, Ken Kaneki, who had his organs transplanted from Rize Kamishiro by Dr. Akihiro Kano due to severe abdominal injuries, was finally discharged from the hospital.

However, Kaneki Ken found that he could not swallow food normally after the operation. He always felt that there was a strange smell in the food, and it tasted like licking pig's offal.

For some ulterior motives, Dr. Akihiro Kano implanted Rize Kamishiro's kakuha into Kaneki Ken's body while performing surgery on him, causing him to transform from a human into a half-ghoul. He could no longer eat normal food and could only obtain nutrition from human flesh.

Due to not eating for a long time, Kaneki Ken has been tortured by excruciating hunger, and he has begun to develop a strong appetite for ordinary people around him.

So, guided by desire, Kaneki Ken's body unconsciously came to a crowded street, and he couldn't help drooling as he watched the passers-by coming and going.

——There is something inhuman in his eyes!

Urakami, who was wandering on the street, suddenly noticed Kaneki Ken in the crowd.

——I remember that he seemed to be the prey of that purple-haired man-eating monster, but that monster was crushed to death by steel bars, so he survived by chance?

——But what's going on now? I remember he wasn't a pure human before? Then where did the inhuman things in his eyes come from? That guy might be a human, but it's unlikely that he is a human!

Curiosity immediately filled Urakami's mind, and he immediately decided to follow Kaneki Ken to see what the other party would do next.

However, at this moment, an extremely strong fragrance suddenly drifted into Kaneki Ken's nose.

——What’s this scent?

Kaneki Ken sniffed the air hard, trying to find where the fragrance came from.

——It’s the first time I smell it, but I feel nostalgic, like my mother’s homemade food! Where is it? Where does this smell come from?

After finding the place where the fragrance came from, Kaneki Ken immediately ran into a dark and narrow alley.

Seeing Kaneki Ken starting to move not far away, Urakami immediately followed him secretly.

——There is something! There is something I can eat! It is nearby! Maybe it is a shop that makes strange dishes! Maybe they sell meat that I can eat!

With an unrealistic dream in mind, Kaneki Ken revealed a bright red and black eye, and walked through many turns, all the way to the deepest part of the alley.

——The fragrance is coming from just in front of this corner! The fragrance is just ahead!

What Kaneki Ken saw was a ghoul that was starving to the point of skin and bones, gnawing on the flesh of an unknown passerby.

"what?"

After a brief moment of shock, Kaneki Ken instantly burst into a heart-wrenching cry:

"Liar! Liar!! Liar!!! I was actually attracted here by the scent of the corpse!"

Hearing Kaneki Ken's scream, the ghoul, who was starving to the point of skin and bones, immediately looked at Kaneki Ken with alertness:

“What? You scared me. I’ve never seen you before, but you’re also a ghoul, right? What’s wrong with you? Are you okay? My name is Kazuo, and I haven’t eaten for a long time, so I can’t give you too much. This left hand…”

Before the ghoul could finish his words, a big foot suddenly stepped on the back of his head. The owner of the big foot then stretched out both hands to hold his shoulders, kicked forward with all his strength, and kicked the ghoul's head directly off his neck.

"Really? Who allowed you to eat in my food stall?!"

The owner of the big foot, a ghoul that looked like horse manure, was wiping the blood off his shoes on the clothes of the headless ghoul while complaining to himself.

"Huh? There's actually another person getting in the way, a guy I've never seen before. By the way, why do you only have one eye? How disgusting!"

The horse dung ghoul then reached out and grabbed Kaneki Ken's neck, pressing his body directly against the wall.

"You should know what will happen if you break into someone else's territory casually. Since you are also a ghoul from District 20, you should know this rule. In fact, I am furious that someone is messing around in my territory!"

The horse dung ghoul said this and was about to strangle Kaneki Ken to death.
