Studying biochemistry in anime is definitely a mistake

"Don't worry about it, the next move will be enough to deal with him."

Mado Wuxu waved the umbrella-shaped Quinque and attacked Gecko again, swinging his sword continuously at the opponent's vital points, but Gecko blocked them one by one with the Quinque pliers in his hand.

"Very regrettable."

Gecko thought he had found a weakness in Zhenhu Wuxu and immediately swung the pliers in his hand to hit the opponent's face.

"Shame on you!"

Mado Wuxu deliberately exposed a flaw and took the opportunity to turn the handle of the umbrella-shaped Quinque, turning the weapon into three tentacles and attacking the gecko from behind.

Gecko hurriedly released his kagune to block the attack from behind, while continuing to swing the Quinque pliers in his hand towards Mado Wuxu.

"Qiang!"

Accompanied by a sound of metal colliding, Nan Tianren actually used the supreme water pipe in his hand to block the gecko's Quinque pliers.

"You two are very good, but time is up. Let's play again next time we have a chance."

The gecko broke free from the tentacles of the umbrella-shaped Quinque and immediately turned around to jump to the nearby building to escape, but while he was in mid-air, he was knocked back to the ground by a water pipe by Nan Tianren who also jumped high.

"Did I let you run away? You dare to run away?"

Nan Tianren jumped down from the roof of the board house, raised the water pipe in his hand high, aimed at the gecko's face and struck it with a powerful blow.

"Oops!"

Gecko finally realized that something was wrong at this moment. He didn't dare to be arrogant in front of the two of them. He immediately activated his own and Half-Kag mode. The huge kagune instantly broke through Gecko's suit and covered his entire right arm.

"What is this?"

Seeing that his attack was blocked by the gecko's right arm, Nan Tianren immediately stepped aside and carefully observed his opponent's condition.

"It's actually a half-Kaguru? That's a ghoul who has multiple kaguru on his body after a lot of co-Kaguru, but can't properly control the kaguru in different parts of his body. This is really a treasure for the two of us."

Mado Wuxu went around behind the gecko, sandwiching him from both sides, while explaining to Nan Tianren.

"This is my favorite suit. You two should get ready to die!"

Gecko stretched out the knives on his right arm and slapped Nan Tianren in front of him.

While Nan Tianren dodged the attack by turning sideways, he swung the water pipe in his hand and hit the gecko's hounds, but it had no effect at all.

"I really want a good Quinque."

Nan Tianren sighed as he stepped back.

Mado Wuxu took the opportunity to fold his umbrella-shaped Quinque and stabbed at the back of Gecko's waist, but was blocked by the opponent's multiplied kagune.

"There's no other way... Nan Tianren! Go on!"

Mado Wuxu leaped back and threw the umbrella-shaped Quinque in his hand towards Nantenjin.

"not good!"

Gecko sighed inwardly that something was wrong and immediately stretched out his kagune arm to block the umbrella-shaped Quinque in the air.

"coming!"

Nan Tianren also immediately activated the Erhu Style, the third secret, God and Demon. He stepped on Gecko's kagune arm and jumped up. While taking over the umbrella-shaped Quinque, he immediately chopped down. The blow wrapped in gravitational potential energy actually cut Gecko's proliferated kagune arm directly in half.

"Tough luck!"

The gecko took a deep breath and didn't dare to fight anymore. He swung his broken arm and slapped the ground. He seized the moment when Nan Tianren landed unstable and used the reaction force to leap into the air. He finally escaped before Nan Tianren caught up.

"Let it run away."

Nan Tianren threw the umbrella-shaped Quinque in his hand back to Mado Wuxu, and sighed as he looked at the direction where the gecko fled:

"Really?! A third-class investigator isn't equipped with a Quinque! What on earth was CCG thinking?!"

"That's because many C-rank or even B-rank ghouls don't know how to use kagune. Normally, a team of high-ranking and low-ranking investigators can easily defeat them."

Mado Wuxu said this as he put the umbrella-shaped Quinque back into the suitcase.

"And then? The one you brought me to investigate is Jason, an S-rank ghoul. He just showed his half-ghoul form. His rating should have risen to SS-rank now."

Nan Tianren complained to Zhenhu Wuxu with some dissatisfaction.

"I just believe in your strength. Didn't we just successfully repel it?"

"If I had a good Quinque, it wouldn't have been as simple as just 'repulsing'!"

"It's okay, Nan Tianren, we are not completely without gain."

Mado Wuxu turned his head and looked at the other ghoul corpse behind him:

"It can be counted as your achievement. When you return, I'll promote you to second-class investigator. You can use its kagune to make your first Quinque."

"That's pretty much it."

Nan Tianren let out a long sigh, walked to the body of Fukou Chaoshu, and raised his foot to turn the ghoul's body over to the front.

"Hmm? It seems to have something in its hand, Nan Tianren, can you help me open its hand?"

Mado Wuxu keenly noticed that Fukou Chaoshu's body had his hands crossed and seemed to be hiding something in his hands.

"no problem."

Nan Tianren broke off the fingers of the tree that were holding the flute one by one, and finally took a ring from the ring finger of its left hand.

"Looks like we're lucky!"

Mado Wuxu looked at the ring carefully.

That afternoon, at CCG headquarters.

"Found it. The real name of the ghoul is Fueguchi Asaki. He once killed a policeman in District 13. He came to District 20 a year ago and opened a clinic for ghouls. The ring he left behind was custom-made, one large and one small. The one who owns the other ring should be his wife."

Nan Tianren threw a stack of information in front of Zhenhu Wuxu.

"Not a wife, but a mating partner!"

Mado Wuxu immediately emphasized:

"Can you confirm the appearance of Fukou Chaoshu's mating partner?"

"No, I searched all of Fukou Chaoshu's personal belongings, and found nothing but a bunch of meaningless graffiti. No photos."

Nan Tianren shook his head.

"That's true. If there is one, we would probably already be on our way to defeat it."

Mado Wuxu opened his lunch box and took out a donut from it.

"Excuse me, I'm the Third Class Investigator Caochang from District 20!"

A bespectacled investigator suddenly approached Nan Tianren and Mado Wuxu.

"What's your business?"

Mado Wuxu asked the other party while eating donuts.

"What I want to ask is, even if Fueguchi Asagi has a wife... a mating partner, it cannot be concluded that she is a ghoul, right? That's too arbitrary."

Caochang speaks out his opinions boldly.

“Would you fall in love with food?”

Mado Wuxu raised his half-eaten donut towards the grass field.

At the same time, at Kamii University in Tokyo's 20th ward, Kaneki Ken reappeared at the school he was attending, wearing an eye patch to cover his own eye.

"Kaneki Ken! How many classes are you going to skip?! You should also think about me who has no acquaintances in World History class!"

A blond boy with headphones around his neck grabbed Kaneki Ken by the collar and questioned him.

"I'm sorry... Nagachika Eira."

Kaneki Ken bowed to the yellow-haired boy to apologize.

"Nagachika Hideyoshi, is this your friend?"

Nagachika Hideyoshi's senior spoke to him.

"Yeah, that's right, this guy's name is Kaneki Ken, and we've been best friends since elementary school."

Nagachika Eira put his arms around Kaneki Ken's neck and introduced him to his senior.

"Then you guys can chat first, but don't forget to get the school festival DVD. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Nagachika Hideyoshi's senior waved to Nagachika Hideyoshi and turned away.

"By the way, I still need to go get the DVD, Kaneki, you can come too!"

Nagachika Hideyoshi said this, not giving Kaneki Ken a chance to refuse, and took him with him to the club activity room where the DVDs were stored.

——If… Nagachika Hideyoshi knew that I was no longer human, we probably wouldn’t be able to walk on the road together like we are now…

Kaneki Ken followed behind Nagachika Eira, staring at Nagachika Eira's back and thinking.

"This should be it, right? Excuse me!"

Nagachika Hideyoshi followed the house number and found the activity room where the DVDs were stored. He didn't care whether there was anyone inside or not and just pushed the door open without even knocking.

"ah!"

A disheveled girl screamed, quickly pulled her clothes tight, and ran away from the club activity room.

"I hate it most when people mess around on my turf!"

Nishio Nishiki, who was "fighting" with his girlfriend, pushed down his glasses and glared at Kaneki Ken and Nagachika Eira with wide eyes.

"Nishio Nishiki!"

Kaneki Ken recognized that the other person was the horse dung ghoul who was beaten up by Kirishima Touka in the alley yesterday.

"You are... a friend of Nagachika Hideyoshi, right?"

Nishio Nishiki also recognized Kaneki Ken as the one-eyed ghoul who was messing around in his ghoul yesterday.

"Yes, he is my childhood friend, his name is Kaneki Ken."

Nagachika Hideyoshi immediately pointed at Kaneki Ken and introduced him to Nishio Nishiki.

"I see. I'm Nishio Nishiki, a second-year student at the School of Pharmacy. Please give me your guidance, Kaneki Ken!"

Nishio Nishiki walked up to Kaneki Ken with bad intentions, stretched out his right hand and patted Kaneki Ken's shoulder heavily.
