Is this okay?

There is a strange rumor circulating among ghouls.

If you walk alone in a small alley in the middle of the night, the scenery around you will disappear and be replaced by a sky full of stars, creating a space where the sky and the ground are covered with stars.

There you will see a dark figure with a hammer on its head, who will ask you questions.

The questions are incredibly varied. Answering correctly will bring unexpected rewards, while answering incorrectly... will result in punishment, which may or may not be related to you.

However, very few people have encountered this shadowy figure, and so far only unverified rumors remain.

Takatsuki Sen also sent people to investigate this situation, but there were no results.

However, that's not what we need to focus on right now; the reality is that we need to rest.

She went out and walked down the street with a relaxed smile, enjoying the rare peace.

Despite being a ghoul, she was happier than other ghouls because she could perfectly hide her identity. Even RC cell testing couldn't detect it, as long as she didn't expose herself.

She happily bought some things she liked along the way, and even made some impulse purchases, but she still enjoyed the experience.

At this point, she was no different from any other girl, even when people approached her.

Just as Takatsuki Sen was walking out of the mall and standing on the street wondering where to go next, she was suddenly approached by four people who looked rather shady.

"Wow! Little sister, you're so pretty! Would you like to go play with big brother?"

The leader wore a friendly smile, but something about that smile seemed off.

It's that kind of smile where you try too hard to be friendly, but end up laughing so hard it's distorted, a smile that could scare a child to tears.

Takatsuki Sen stood there, looking at the person in front of her with a surprised expression. She recognized him and was certain that she would never forget his face.

That was yesterday, when I was writing an article on my computer.

Suddenly the screen went black, the computer signal was hijacked, and the face of the man in front of me appeared on the screen.

Then I heard this guy yell that he was an idiot!

Her name was Amo?

The impact of this event was so great that my inspiration for writing vanished instantly...

Good heavens! It was you, kid!

I didn't even come to settle scores with you... and you just showed up on your own!

So it was you, you big idiot!

Takatsuki Sen felt a bit resentful thinking about what happened yesterday, but she was still clear-headed. She knew that such technological capabilities would be of great use to even humans if they were brought into her team!

Moreover, if it's just humans, that would be even easier; wouldn't a direct threat be simpler?

Suddenly, a good idea popped into her head, and a happy smile appeared on her face. She looked at Leng Mo with a mixture of embarrassment and fondness.

"What kind of games would you like to play with me?"

"I know a good restaurant, shall we go eat there?"

Leng Mo frowned when he saw Takatsuki Sen cooperating so readily. There must be a trap, but it didn't matter! As long as you came along, the process didn't matter at all!

“I know a good shop too, why don’t we go there? We’ll take the shortcut… it’s just over there in that alley.”

Takatsuki Sen did not refuse, and looked at Leng Mo and the others with a bright smile.

Is there such a good thing?

Leng Mo was overjoyed to hear Takatsuki Sen's words and immediately agreed.

"Then why even talk about leaving!"

The next second, Takatsuki Sen led Leng Mo and the others quickly into the alley.

……

A moment later, Takatsuki Izumi, who had just entered the alley, suddenly stopped and turned to look at Leng Mo.

"Speak up, what do you want? Your acting is so obviously terrible."

Chapter Sixty-Four: You're a real bastard!!

Takatsuki Sen's words made Leng Mo pause slightly, and he turned to look at the others around him and asked:

Did we just perform?

"No? Is there?"

"Maybe."

"Do you think it's possible that she herself believes we're acting?"

The conversation between Leng Mo and the other three made Takatsuki Sen feel as if listening to a wise man's words was like hearing a single sentence.

Is it important whether or not someone acted in the role?

The key point is clearly what you want from me!

"Hey! Stop talking nonsense, what do you want from me? You didn't just come here to chat, did you?"

Unable to bear Leng Mo and the others completely missing the point, Takatsuki Sen loudly interrupted their thoughts and asked directly.

Although she didn't know what the other party's purpose was, she could sense that the other party didn't have much hostility.

Upon hearing Takatsuki Sen's words, Leng Mo composed himself and looked at Takatsuki Sen with the seriousness of a professional.

"Let's start with a brief self-introduction. I believe we'll be seeing each other frequently in the future."

"Oh?" Takatsuki Sen was a little curious after hearing this. What made him so confident that he would meet with her regularly in the future?

“My name is Leng Mo, and my English name is strange·cold. I am the leader of the anti-ghoul clan. I have come to you to discuss the future of our anti-ghoul clan and the ghoul clan.”

Leng Mo spoke without hesitation, completely unaware that he was lying, or rather, he had been lying from the beginning to the end, so nothing seemed strange about him.

"Anti-ghouls? Never heard of them. What are they?" Takatsuki Sen looked at Leng Mo with a fake smile. Although she didn't know what they were, she could feel that her identity had been exposed.

However, now is not the time to turn hostile, at least the other party has not shown any intention of making a move.

“It’s normal for ordinary people not to know. Even ordinary ghouls rarely come into contact with us anti-ghouls. After all, we hide among humans, are just like humans, and have only one goal: to exterminate all ghouls. In short, any ghoul who has seen us is already dead.”

Leng Mo stared at Takatsuki Sen in front of him, his meaning clear: he wanted to kill the ghouls.

If she dares to make a move, she will fall into her own trap.

However, Takatsuki Sen showed no intention of making a move, instead watching Leng Mo with a fake smile of amusement.

"Oh? So ghouls have enemies like that? This is the first time I've heard of such a thing. What do you want with me? You don't think I'm a ghoul and are here to kill me, do you?"

She looked at Leng Mo with feigned fear, taking a half-step back in an exaggerated manner, but there was no fear in her expression; instead, she was full of interest.

"No, we've changed our strategy. Over the past three hundred years, we've discovered that ghouls are impossible to eradicate completely, and some ghouls only eat humans because they are ghouls, for the sake of survival. You should understand what I mean, Ms. Takatsuki Sen. Someone who can write such books must have a complete understanding of the relationship between ghouls and humans."

Leng Mo looked at Takatsuki Izumi with the same meticulousness as a missionary priest, his gaze filled with a holy light, as if a saint had descended and was looking down upon everything without mercy.

"So how are you going to deal with the ghouls?" Takatsuki Sen roughly understood some of it, and was also curious about Leng Mo and the others' plans.

Since you've given up on killing all the ghouls, are you just going to let them go?

If that's really the case, then three hundred years of perseverance is probably just a joke.

"Assimilation, nothing more."

"What do you mean?"

"Since you want to know, I'll tell you. Assimilate ghouls and humans, and in a hundred years, ghouls will quietly disappear from human history. Just give ghouls and humans the same diet, and everything will be solved naturally."

"It's not just that... As far as I know, ghouls won't agree so easily. After all, there are good and bad people among humans, and there are good and bad people among ghouls as well."

"This is inevitable, so what follows will be a purge. Ghouls who join will live, and those who don't will die."

As he spoke, Leng Mo exuded an air of superior arrogance, as if his words were full of truth and without the slightest falsehood.

The sheer force of her words alone made Takatsuki Sen feel the pressure.

These guys are something else.

It actually made me feel pressured, but perhaps that's a method.

For a moment, Takatsuki Sen began to sketch out an immature plan in her mind. Now that she knew the situation and combined it with the voices that had appeared before, she began to believe it.

The situation at Anteiku explains a lot; it's even been said that some weaker ghouls never hunted humans again after going to Anteiku.

This suggests that the Antiques might be a stronghold of the ghouls, or at least not a pilot site.

According to this guy, it's impossible to exterminate all ghouls, because ghouls are all over the world, and extermination would require an action involving all of humanity.

However, assimilation is different. As long as the method by which ghouls can eat human food is spread, it will naturally begin.

If ghouls who no longer want to hide end up eating human food, they will eventually assimilate into humans over time.

In a few hundred years, the bloodline of ghouls will be diluted, just like that of humans.

The prerequisite is to eliminate all those who still want to eat people.

These guys are pretty good!

In an instant, her eyes lit up. The method Leng Mo described could indeed change the world and even achieve final peace.

At the same time, Leng Mo across from him began to wink at the people around him.

The meaning is very simple!

Ready to get started! The necessary conditions have been met!

If the other side dares to say no, that's a signal to take action.

Kaneki, Kazuma, and Tatsumi, who was still confused about the situation, all got ready. No one could be absent from a group activity!

In an instant, a glint flashed in Leng Mo's eyes. Such a beautiful girl must be so bouncy to fight!

Hey Hey……

To everyone's surprise, the next second, Takatsuki Sen dropped her fake smile and looked at Leng Mo and the others with a happy expression:

"I see, so that does indeed assimilate ghouls. Anti-ghouls? This is the first time I've heard of such a thing. So you guys still exist in this world. But I'm curious, why are you looking for me?"

She combined her own intelligence with Leng Mo's words and believed him immediately.

I completely believe there's nothing wrong with this plan, and I'm even a little eager to try it out.

"Ah this..."

Leng Mo and the others, who were about to launch an attack, were all stunned and stood frozen in place. Jin Mu and the others even turned their gazes toward Leng Mo.

This is not what we agreed on!

No way... you actually believe this kind of nonsense?

Shouldn't you have said something like, "Do you think I'd believe this nonsense?" and then started a fight with us?

Why did you suddenly believe that?

What about trust between people?!

Your trust in us so easily makes us feel awkward!

Something's not right! You definitely have a problem!

Oh my god! I'm totally stuck!

Leng Mo was caught off guard when he saw that Takatsuki Sen believed his nonsense so easily. He looked at Takatsuki Sen with a strange and puzzled expression.

"You believe that? You just believed me so easily? Isn't that strange at all?"

"Is there a problem? Didn't you say that yourselves? I have my own intelligence, so I can naturally determine whether what you're saying is true. What's wrong?"

Takatsuki Sen looked even more bewildered, staring at Leng Mo as if she couldn't understand what he meant.

Didn't you say that yourselves? Is there a problem if I believe you?

Aren't these statements all reasonable and well-founded?

Previous rumors have already explained a lot, and our own intelligence has basically confirmed that what you said is true.

So... why do you seem unhappy even though I believed you?

An awkward atmosphere filled the alleyway, the source of which was unclear.

Damn it, why!
