Tokyo Ghoul: Starting with the Twin Kamui

He gave his opponent no chance to breathe, and then stabbed him in the heart with another knife, delivering the final blow.

[Ding! Host has defeated a "Rank B Ghoul" and has received a reward of 3 attribute points!]

"Oh...so I don't need to kill him..."

Uchiha Byakuya then realized that he could gain attribute points simply by defeating the opponent.

But in the situation just now, the other party insisted on committing suicide.

Otherwise, if they had obediently surrendered from the start, he could have sent them to a ghoul detention center. Although that place wasn't great, at least they wouldn't have died.

After the battle ended, Uchiha Byakuya put "Eric" back into his briefcase.

Then call the staff on duty at the CCG branch in Zone 2.

"This is Second Class Investigator Uchiha Byakuya. The target has been successfully driven away and is currently..."

"Okay, we'll send someone to handle the situation right away. Please wait there for a while to avoid any unnecessary panic caused by ordinary people accidentally wandering in."

"Ah."

After briefly explaining the situation, Uchiha Byakuya hung up the phone.

He stayed there to wait, glancing at the ghoul's corpse.

His first murder, or more accurately, his killing of a ghoul, inevitably left him feeling somewhat uncomfortable and uneasy.

In his eyes, there was not much difference between ghouls and humans.

But this world is like this, even more dog-eat-dog than the world he lived in before. If you can't adapt to this kind of thing, you can't survive.

He could only try his best to uphold his principles and not easily kill any human or ghoul.

Deprivation is a crime, but in necessary circumstances he had to take a life...

............

Less than ten minutes later, the people sent by the CCG branch arrived at the scene.

These people were all third-class investigators and assistant investigators.

A third-class investigator is lower than Uchiha Byakuya's current rank of second-class investigator, and an investigator's assistant is even lower than a third-class investigator.

These people were assigned to menial tasks in this area because they were not good at combat.

Furthermore, investigators below the second rank are not qualified to use the "Quinck." The conditions for using the "Quinck" are that one must not only meet the requirements of a second-rank investigator but also pass relevant strict examinations.

Third-class investigators and assistant investigators can only use the "Q-Bullet," a firearm whose bullets are made from ghouls' kagune. Although it is not as powerful as the "Quinque," it still has a certain killing power against ghouls.

"Uchiha, second class!"

"Thank you for your hard work, Uchiha Second Class!"

These people all expressed their respect to Uchiha Byakuya.

Uchiha Byakuya nodded to them, "Then I'll leave the situation to you. I'll go back and rest now."

"Yes."

"Ok."

"..."

They all responded.

Afterwards, Uchiha Byakuya leisurely left the scene carrying the "Quinque".

These people began to examine the ghouls' corpses as usual.

After the examination, one of the third-class investigators exclaimed in amazement, "This guy only has two wounds, one in his bursa and one in his heart, both incredibly precise fatal wounds!"

After an investigator fights a ghoul, the scene is usually quite chaotic, so it's rare to see a scene like this one with almost no signs of battle.

This means that the Uchiha second-class ghoul instantly killed the ghoul with extremely precise attacks, leaving no extra wounds. This is something that an ordinary second-class ghoul could not do.

That Uchiha Second Class's true strength has clearly far surpassed that of an ordinary Second Class Investigator!

"No wonder he's a genius from 'that place,' it's no wonder he became a second-class investigator on his first job..."

"Moreover, I just noticed that Uchiha Ni-kun seems to be completely unharmed. His skills are truly amazing!"

"We still need to study at the Investigator Academy for two more years before we have a chance to be promoted to second class. The gap between us and such geniuses is indeed enormous."

"..."

The third-class investigators and assistant investigators present were almost all teenagers of the same age as Uchiha Byakuya, so they all admired Uchiha Byakuya, this genius of the same age!

P.S.: Because I'm writing the old book and the new book at the same time, I sometimes mix up the names of the two male protagonists, "Otonashi Chiya" and "Uchiha Byakuya". When I'm typing fast, I don't think before I write the protagonist's name. If you still mix up the names, please remember to tag me!

Chapter 9 Tiger Skin Mask

Back to the residence.

After taking a quick shower, Uchiha Byakuya went straight to bed to sleep.

Whether human, ghoul, half-human, or half-ghoul, everyone needs normal sleep.

He placed the suitcase containing the "Quink" by his bedside, not intending to put it back into the Kamui space.

Because each time he uses this "spatial transfer" eye technique, it consumes RC cells and eye power, and given his current condition, he cannot withstand using the eye technique two or three times in a short period of time.

His body is somewhat weak due to the depletion of his pupil technique, but it's nothing serious; he'll recover on his own after a night's rest.

In fact, tonight's battle showed that Uchiha Byakuya could overwhelm ordinary ghouls with just the basic abilities of his Mangekyou Sharingan, and he was only using a B-rank Quinque.

As long as he doesn't act recklessly and court death, the basic abilities of the Mangekyou Sharingan are more than enough for him right now.

Before falling asleep, Uchiha Byakuya opened the system shop he had previously activated through his mind.

[Tier 1 System Shop]

【Product: Reincarnation Magatama Mask】

[Description: A white magatama mask similar to the one worn by Obito in the early stages of the Ninja War. It has no special effects but can be used to conceal one's identity.]

Price: 5 attribute points

【....................】

【Product: Tiger Skin Mask】

[Description: A red tiger-skin mask identical to the one worn by Obito in "Red Moon Night". It has no special effects but can be used to conceal one's identity (includes Obito's "Red Moon Night" outfit and chain weapon)]

Price: 5 attribute points

【....................】

【Product: Low-Grade Longevity Pill】

[Description: One pill can extend lifespan by one year. Once used, it will freeze your appearance until the extended lifespan ends. There is no limit to the number of purchases.]

Price: 10 attribute points

【....................】

【Product: RC Cell Storage Device】

[Description: Excess RC cells can be stored here. When using the pupil technique, the RC cells in the storage will be automatically consumed, which can prevent the RC cell value from becoming too high and making it impossible to eat normal food.]

Price: 50 attribute points

The system shop had already appeared before Uchiha Byakuya's eyes. It could be seen that the system shop at the current level 1 only had four items, but none of these four items were useless.

The Rinnegan mask or tiger skin mask would help him conceal his true identity when using the dual Kamui technique, since his eyes would transform into the Mangekyou Sharingan when using the dual Kamui technique, making him easily mistaken for a ghoul.

In this situation, wearing a mask is the best solution. (If he didn't wear a mask and his true identity was revealed, and he was mistaken for a ghoul, Uchiha Byakuya's situation would be very dangerous, as the threat came from the CCG's behind-the-scenes forces.)

There are also low-grade longevity pills, which can solve the problem that he, as a half-human, has less than half the lifespan of a normal human.

As for the RC cell storage device, the price of 50 attribute points seems expensive, but it is actually quite important.

Because as the value of RC cells in his body increases in the future, once it exceeds a certain range, he will become like a ghoul and unable to eat anything but human flesh.

Only naturally born half-ghouls can eat normal food when their RC cell count exceeds a certain standard.

Eating human flesh was something Uchiha Byakuya absolutely did not want to do, so this RC cell storage device was very important to him.

However, he currently only has 13 attribute points.

"Let's buy a mask first, just in case later..."

Uchiha Byakuya has made his decision.

The first thing he wanted to buy was a tiger skin mask.

[Ding! Host has successfully purchased a "Tiger Skin Mask," attribute points -5, current attribute points: 8!]

The purchase was completed, but the tiger-skin mask did not appear in Uchiha Byakuya's hands. So it might be in the system panel?

He then opened the system panel.

[Host: Uchiha Byakuya]

[Type: Half-human]
