Tokyo Ghoul: Starting with the Twin Kamui

At that moment, the ghoul investigator who had almost been captured recognized Uchiha Byakuya.

He thought he was doomed and was going to die a torturous death, but unexpectedly, Uchihata and the others came to his rescue.

Uchiha Byakuya noticed that the investigator was a relatively young man, which explained why he couldn't defeat an A-rank ghoul.

In fact, under normal circumstances, only top-tier investigators are capable of dealing with Rank A ghouls, so Rank A ghouls are not weak. It's just that Uchiha Byakuya was far too strong.

Are your injuries serious?

Uchiha Byakuya asked.

"No, it's alright, just a minor injury."

The young man shook his head.

However, he wasn't seriously injured only because the ghoul hadn't attacked him too hard, only knocking his B-class quinque away.

"Uchihata, I have something to report!"

The young man's expression immediately turned serious as he said, "The reason that ghoul didn't kill me just now is because he wanted to treat me as some kind of 'commodity.' He even mentioned an auction..."

"Okay, I know."

At this moment, Uchiha Byakuya's expression remained calm.

When he first heard the ghoul mention "goods," he immediately thought it might be related to the "auction" in the original story.

Simply put, it's a private "auction" held by a group of ghouls, and the items up for auction are mostly humans...

All sorts of people can be secretly auctioned off by ghouls, including celebrities, ghoul investigators, and ordinary humans. There's no one that ghouls wouldn't dare to auction off.

For example, Juuzou Suzuya was kidnapped as a child and then allegedly put up for auction. He was subsequently bought and adopted by an SS-rank ghoul codenamed "The First Lady"...

Chapter 110 Super Handsome Guy

Area 1, CCG headquarters.

Uchiha Byakuya immediately reported the "auction" to his superiors, namely CCG Director Kazuki Yoshitoki.

"Auctions... well... there have been rumors about that. People often disappear, supposedly being auctioned off by certain ghouls in secret."

With his hands crossed and elbows resting on the table, Washuu Yoshitoki spoke in a slightly somber tone.

If they had detailed intelligence, they and the Xiu family would also like to eliminate certain "thorns in their side" at the auction.

The auction featured many ghouls with impressive backgrounds who had achieved considerable success in human society; for example, the CEO of a certain corporation might be a ghoul.

Some have no conflict of interest with the Hexiu family, and may even cooperate with them, but others are threatening "thorns in the side".

Furthermore, although Washuu Yoshitoki is the young head of the Washuu family, he actually has a strong sense of justice to a certain extent, and he does not want such auctions to exist.

"Can our CCG find out which auctions are about to take place? Aren't those auctions supposed to be reported before they take place?"

Uchiha Byakuya said.

"If we're talking about auctions throughout the year, there are just too many to handle. It's impossible to send someone to monitor every single one."

Washuu Yoshitoki said, "But if we're talking about upcoming auctions, the closest one is on November 11th, and then..."

He mentioned a few auction dates that he remembered.

There are countless auctions of all sizes throughout Japan.

"The match on November 11th is worth paying attention to."

Uchiha Byakuya said calmly, "Based on my intuition, I should have some success."

He remembered the auction from the original novel, especially the date, which was November 11th; that left the deepest impression on him.

Therefore, it can be almost concluded directly.

Washu Yoshitoki was silent for a moment, "...Alright, I trust your intuition. The auction on November 11th is located in your District 2."

He remembered that Arima Kishou had once told him that Uchiha Byakuya's intuition was very accurate, or rather, very perceptive.

"Then you will be in charge of this 'auction operation'. Those who can participate in the 'auction' are usually celebrities and high-ranking figures in the ghoul world. They will probably have ghouls with high danger levels as bodyguards. I will have investigators from other areas support you."

Said when talking to Xiu Jishi.

"Ok."

Uchiha Byakuya nodded slightly.

There are only a few days left until November 11th.

He had ample time to arrange manpower, formulate battle plans, prepare his will, and so on.

Although he and Arima Kishou from the Zero Division were already invincible, the auction venue was very large and there were many ghouls.

Most importantly, their mission this time is not to drive out a ghoul, but to rescue the humans who are being treated as "auction items".

Therefore, a sufficient number of personnel are still needed to complete such large-scale operations.

After returning home, Uchiha Byakuya briefly told Yoshimura Eto and Kurumi about the incident.

"I expect to be quite busy in the next few days, until November 11th."

Uchiha Byakuya simply explained this to Yoshimura Eto.

"Is there another large-scale mission that requires so many days?"

Fangcun At asked casually.

"Yes, we've discovered that some upper-class ghouls are secretly holding 'auctions' specifically for selling off humans, and we certainly can't just sit idly by."

Uchiha Byakuya said.

"Oh~ I do know some of those high-class ghouls, like 'Madam' and such, but I'm not one of those guys after all."

Yoshimura Ete's tone was somewhat wistful.

As a ghoul from Ward 24 with no power or influence in human society, she was naturally out of place among the so-called upper-class ghouls.

Especially since those guys are always having fun and enjoying themselves, she disdains having any dealings with them.

"In short, the plan is to infiltrate the auction to rescue people."

Uchiha Byakuya briefly explained the action plan.

"Well, I'll just stay home and keep Little Walnut company."

Yoshimura Aite had no interest in this so-called high-class form of entertainment; she preferred to stay home with Little Walnut.

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

The auction date arrived as scheduled.

CCG had already formulated its battle plan.

The Zero Division was tasked with infiltrating the auction, specifically by Uchiha Byakuya and Arima Kishou.

The remaining combat personnel awaited orders from concealed locations near the auction, ready to storm the auction at any time.

However, Uchiha Byakuya and Arima Kishou infiltrated by deliberately being captured alive by ghouls and then being taken to the auction as "goods".

It's obvious that this kind of special auction isn't open to just anyone. Not only must one be a ghoul, but a special invitation may also be required.

If Uchiha Byakuya and Arima Kishou were to barge in directly, their plan would be exposed.

With the help of Aite Yoshimura

She contacted one of the "Ladies" in the special group "Madam" under the identity of "One-Eyed Owl".

This group is a very representative elite group in the ghoul world. Whether it's a ghoul organization or an auction, "Madam" is sure to be present in such high-class entertainment venues.

“I have two very good ‘goods’ that I would like to trouble you to auction on my behalf at tonight’s auction, since I do not have an invitation.”

At this moment, Yoshimura Eto was covered in white bandages and wearing a red cloak.

In front of Yoshimura Eto was a woman wearing a half-mask and luxurious clothes, who was a member of "Madam".

"Oh? What kind of 'goods' are they? Tell me about them?"

"Madam" asked curiously.

Although she had no connection with "One-Eyed Owl," being rated as an SSS-level ruthless character by the CCG meant she was highly regarded in the ghoul world.

She was very interested in the "goods" offered by this person.

"They're two ghoul investigators, one of whom is a prospective Special Class Investigator, and the other is incredibly handsome. They're sure to satisfy everyone!"

Yoshimura Ete's tone was slightly playful.

As for Uchiha Byakuya's status as a Special Investigator, she didn't mention it at all.

Saying "quasi-Special Class Investigator" is fine, but adding "Special Class Investigator" would easily make the other party more cautious.

"That's right. If it's really as you say, it will definitely fetch a good price."

"Madam" was already quite impatient. "Since you're letting me replace you, I'll take a 5% commission. How about that?"

"no problem."
