Please call me Cyber ​​Demon King

"Kaneki, pack up the kagune, we should go."

Ke Ling jumped down from the viewing platform and came to Kaneki Ken's side. The boy was covered in wounds and was obviously exhausted.

But the constant battles have clearly changed his mindset; at least he no longer seems so timid.

Ke Ling taught Kaneki Ken where the kagune of each of his different kagune was located, and helped him collect all the kagune of the ghouls.

The kagune pouches were first stored in Ke Ling's storage space, since there were more than a hundred kagune pouches, and Kaneki Ken couldn't carry them all away by himself.

I'll post a chapter about attributes or something later, I won't include it in the main text.

Chapter 120 Switching Forms

In the Seventh Ward, at the Ghoul Restaurant, Ke Ling led Kaneki Ken out. The two had already showered and changed into clean clothes.

The entire ghoul restaurant had been slaughtered by Kolin, and he didn't even spare the servants of the Tsukiyama family who worked on the "surface" of the restaurant.

[Ding! Experience points full, level increased to Lv8, current experience.]

[Gain 1 attribute point.]

The level has increased again, and as expected, this time there is only one attribute point, just like when it was upgraded to Lv2.

Before leaving, Ke Ling set a fire, and the ghoul restaurant burst into flames, believing that the situation there would soon be discovered.

The two left quickly and went back to Kaneki Ken's house first.

This day's events were very meaningful for Kaneki Ken.

He fought on and on until he was covered in wounds and exhausted, an experience he had never had before in his 18 years of life.

Of course, besides that, after acquiring a large number of kagune, he estimated that he wouldn't have to worry about food for a long time.

"This thing cannot be eaten in large quantities in a short period of time, or it may cause madness."

Ke Ling took the Hepburn bag out of the shadow's storage space and put it in Kaneki Ken's refrigerator to freeze.

It's common for ghouls to share food, but if they engage in large-scale sharing and consume a large number of their own kind's kagune in a short period of time, it can cause brain damage.

"I won't eat unless I'm absolutely starving."

Kaneki Ken said softly that he felt he could manage and eating once every month and a half wouldn't be a problem.

"These burqas are enough for you to eat for more than ten years."

Ke Ling joked with a smile, "That's true, but even if you freeze them in the refrigerator, these kagune packs won't last long."

"It can only be stored for a year at most, right? It will probably spoil if it's kept any longer, so you don't need to save that much for me, sir."

Kaneki Ken was well aware that keeping too many kagune would be pointless; a refrigerator full of kagune would only make him feel uneasy.

"Then I'll keep 24 for you. I suggest you find a high-powered freezer; the lower temperature might allow them to last longer."

Ke Ling nodded, leaving 24 kagune pouches in the refrigerator, while the rest remained in Shadow's storage space.

This is a good opportunity to observe whether his storage space has any special functions, such as being resistant to decay or damage.

Storing living creatures is definitely out of the question. Ke Ling has already tried stuffing Kaneki Ken into the storage space, but without success.

Judging from the freshness of these kagune pods, it's quite plausible that they haven't rotted or decayed; at least, these kagune pods that were taken out are almost identical to those that were put in.

Kaneki Ken turned on the TV, which was broadcasting breaking news: the "Fire at the Seventh District Restaurant" had been exposed, after all, the raging fire couldn't be kept secret.

"The Yueshan family is still busy; they definitely want to cover up the truth about this matter."

Ke Ling glanced at the news; the fire was still raging, and no one knew what had happened inside yet.

The fire will burn everything, including the corpses scattered throughout the ghoul restaurant; very few will likely remain intact.

However, a subsequent investigation revealed that the corpses inside were clearly not burned alive, but rather had died before being burned.

After all, people who are burned to death cannot possibly not struggle, and when those corpses are burned, they must be more and more docile than the last.

The "Seventh District Restaurant Fire" will soon evolve into the "Seventh District Restaurant Massacre," and the two are obviously completely different in nature.

However, the Tsukiyama family certainly didn't want to expose the fact that all the ghouls who died in the restaurant were among them, especially since their young master, Tsukiyama Shuu, was among them.

If this is exposed, the entire "Yukiyama family" might be exposed.

It's not just the Tsukiyama family; the families behind other upper-class ghouls certainly don't want to be exposed either.

They still have room to maneuver. The CCG is definitely not paying attention right now, and these upper-class ghouls can use their influence to gloss over this matter.

"Are we being watched?"

Kaneki Ken was somewhat worried. He had heard of the "Tsukiyama Family" before; it was a very famous conglomerate.

"Don't worry, they definitely won't target you. Do you think they'd believe a newbie like you could do something like that?"

Ke Ling waved his hand, telling Kaneki Ken not to worry unnecessarily.

All the ghouls in the restaurant have been killed, so no matter how much people suspect, they won't suspect a weakling.

"Forehead"

Kenichi Kaneki felt a little embarrassed. The logic seemed to make sense, but it sounded hurtful.

"I'm leaving now. If you want to learn how to fight, you can ask Yoshimura Kōzen for help. He shouldn't refuse."

Ke Ling opened the door to leave, and then gave Kaneki Ken some advice.

Although Kaneki Ken feeds on ghouls, Yoshimura Kozen won't do anything to him as long as he doesn't harm "Anteiku Cafe".

Yoshimura Kōzen had engaged in plenty of communal eating when he was young, so this was nothing to him.

Furthermore, Yoshimura Kōzen never bothered with troublemakers like "Oogami" Rize Kamishiro and "Gourmet" Shu Tsukiyama who caused trouble in the 20th ward.

If Kaneki Ken didn't hunt in the 20th district but went to other districts, Yoshimura would be even less likely to get involved in such matters.

“I understand, sir.”

Kaneki Ken nodded. To be honest, he originally wanted to learn how to fight from his teacher.

However, he was somewhat timid by nature, and in front of Ke Ling, a fierce person, he dared not take the initiative to express his own ideas.

Ke Ling left decisively. He knew Kaneki Ken's thoughts, but he wasn't really suited to guide this guy through his growth.

He's staying with Kanou Akihiro for now, and if Kaneki Ken, the victim, were to see Kanou Akihiro, it would definitely be a case of enemies meeting again with intense hatred.

Kanou Akihiro couldn't turn him back into a human, and if Kaneki Ken saw the Anju sisters, two half-ghouls, eating human food normally, he would probably feel even worse.

So let Kaneki Ken continue to grow at the "Anteiku Cafe". After today's battle experience, the boy's personality will definitely change.

Ke Ling returned to Kanao Akihiro's laboratory in District 6, where the two girls, Hei Nai and Nai Shiro, were still training hard.

Hatred is indeed one of the powerful driving forces that can make people grow quickly, but it can also easily make people have awkward personalities, like a certain foolish little brother.

After giving some pointers to Hei Nai and Nai Bai, Ke Ling returned to his room and decisively allocated the skill optimization points to [Demon Transformation].

Optimization complete.

Gain a new trait: "Anthropomorphism".

Anthropomorphic: It can actively remove obvious signs of demonic transformation from its body and survive by hiding within human society.

Another new trait, the introduction of which immediately caught Ke Ling's eye.

Goodness, it's still a ghost inside, but its appearance has turned back into a human?

Ke Ling was eager to try it out immediately, but his intuition told him he couldn't be so reckless.

"Let's try the angle first."

Ke Ling had a sudden inspiration. He couldn't mess around with his body, but he could mess with other things, like the two horns on his head.

Without hesitation, Ke Ling used his new ability, "Anthropomorphism," to apply it to the demon horns on his head.

The two goat horns slowly contracted and then disappeared completely, as if they had merged into Ke Ling's body.

"It works!"

Ke Ling was pleasantly surprised. He then applied his "anthropomorphic" ability to his teeth, and the sharp teeth slowly shrank back to their normal state.

Then there's the vertical eye on the forehead. Under the influence of the "anthropomorphic" ability, that vertical eye completely closes, and you can no longer tell that there was once an eye there.

This doesn't mean they'll truly disappear. As long as Ke Ling has a thought to remove the "anthropomorphic" state, the demon horns, vertical eyes, and sharp fangs will reappear.

"Try adjusting your body."

Ke Ling began to operate. The presence of the subcutaneous armor was an obstacle, but it didn't completely eliminate the room for maneuver.

Subcutaneous armor is not the kind that fits perfectly. After all, the human body shape changes, so subcutaneous armor naturally needs to have a certain degree of elasticity and contractility.

Under Ke Ling's patient manipulation, the exaggerated muscles on his body gradually contracted, and his whole body shrank by a size, which was already the limit of the contractility of the subcutaneous armor.

When Ke Ling looked in the mirror, wow, she looked much more normal now! She looked much better than her previous fierce appearance!

Although he is still very burly, he is now within the range of a normal person and no longer seems exaggerated at first glance.

"Strength and speed have each decreased by 3 points, while charm has increased by 5 points."

Ke Ling looked at the panel. After using the "Anthropomorphism" ability, the attribute bonus of [Demonization] decreased slightly, but the debuff of Charisma was improved.

After being "humanized", Ke Ling's charm value has now reached 12 points.

What does this mean? It means that he will no longer give the impression of being a bad person at first glance.

Although his appearance is only 2 points above the average, which is not enough to make people like him at first glance, it is enough to make people think that he is a normal person with outstanding appearance, which is a huge improvement!

"He's not just a complete change from before, he's practically a different person."

Looking at herself in the mirror, Ke Ling made her assessment.

This "human" state can be used as a daily social state, and when the battle begins, it can be directly switched to the second form, "demon form".

The next chapter will be later.

Chapter 121 Two blessings for old times

"Wow, guess what I saw? Two half-ghouls!"
