With the ability to transform, I am a judge.

Following the electronic map, Yang Li arrived near a certain restricted area marked "Level 1 Contaminated Area." If nothing unexpected happened, this was Roppongi, where the funeral parlor was located.

It's not the right time yet. Yang Li, who has already chosen the GHQ side, will find it difficult to locate the Funeral Parlor; they'll avoid her. After all, that girl named Dong in the Funeral Parlor could very well hack into the GHQ network and find information about Yang Li as a member of GHQ.

So it's impossible to make contact with her. Instead, it would only cause trouble for GHQ. For example, those two officers from the major general's faction said she was planning to communicate with the enemy or something... As for Yuzuriha Inori, don't even think about it in the 'dimensional world', the timeline will be reset.

Even if someone could win over Yuzuriha Inori, Ouma Mana wouldn't agree. Whether Ouma Mana's consciousness is currently within Inori's body remains a mystery. At least Yang Li isn't sure if anyone trying to assassinate Inori now would be instantly killed by the suddenly appearing Ouma Mana.

In terms of combat power alone, ten Ouma Mana wouldn't be enough to warm up Yang Li, but the opponent's status as 'Eve' and her ability to control the Apocalypse Virus made Yang Li think that this was half a suppressor force.

'Adam' was chosen by 'Eve', and only a small group of people recognized by Mana Ouma can use the Void Genome. The so-called high probability of death after injection is just a facade.

Those who are not recognized die directly, while those who have been recognized can use it—is this a kind of bestowed power?

Yang Li shook her head slightly and turned to leave. She had no intention of provoking Yuzuriha Inori. Although she was her waifu from the second dimension, at most she could guarantee not to kill her. As for desperately protecting her, forget it; she wasn't her sister.

Since no promises were made, there's no obligation to make any sacrifices; at least Yang Li is a very rational person. Instead of wasting time here, it would be better to wander around the neighborhood and then take the tram to the apartment GHQ arranged.

------Dividing line------

"It's pretty good."

Stepping through the already opened door, Yang Li closed it behind her, glancing around at the room's furnishings with considerable satisfaction. A two-bedroom, one-living room, one-kitchen, and one-bathroom layout—a bit wasteful for one person, but who wouldn't want something free?

"Let's clean up first."

Narrowing her eyes, Yang Li immediately began a thorough check, searching for any possible surveillance. Unfortunately, for some reason, GHQ seemed quite at ease with her, as there wasn't a single trace of surveillance. Could it be some incomprehensible technological device?

Yang Li sat on the sofa with a puzzled look on her face, beginning to wonder if the people at GHQ had lost their minds, although she had had the same suspicion before in the office of the highest-ranking official.

With a sharp look, Yang Li glanced towards the doorway. An ordinary person's aura appeared outside, lingering there. Yang Li sensed it briefly, then his kagune appeared, and his katana emerged.

"Who is it?"

"I'm Sakura, who lives next door. I saw moving company people coming and going today, so I came to pay a visit."

She was a mature woman, and combined with the surname Sakura, the image of a research director at GHQ and a woman who often stayed up all night and got drunk came up in Yang Li's mind.

Yang Li instantly withdrew his Hex Eye and Hex Gel, quickly changed into his pajamas, and then opened the door.

The first thing I saw was a sweet-looking woman, who appeared to be around 25 years old, looking quite young. Her figure was much better than Kaneki's, and she had an outstanding presence, possessing a mature beauty.

The moment Yang Li saw this woman, he had a bad feeling; this was actually the protagonist's residence nearby. However, Sakura Haruka was also a member of GHQ, so it wasn't surprising that she could live in this apartment, especially since Yang Li was now living there too.

The key is the protagonist, Shu Ouma, who has a hidden dual personality and is a cheat code officially designated by the world. Yang Li even wanted to kill this kind of guy to see what the reward would be.

However, Yang Li had previously heard from a girl who sold furniture that someone had once ambushed and killed Kamijou Touma, who dropped a treasure chest that looked very high-level but whose exact level was unknown. Before he could pick it up, he was killed by a satellite falling from the sky.

This incident affected many contractors, to the point that 'Abyss Paradise' ultimately reset the timeline and rescued all the other contractors.

Therefore, the protagonist's role depends on the world's upper limit. In Guilty Crown, the Death Guardian is similar to a wisp of the world's consciousness, a concept that... At this stage, it's not possible to confront that enemy; Yang Li doesn't have complete confidence.

"How can I help you?"

Yang Li's casual remark snapped Sakura Haruka, who was also observing her, out of her daze. Kaneki Ken's looks were equally outstanding. Sakura Haruka had been so surprised to see a beautiful girl that she had simply stared blankly at Yang Li without saying a word.

"I just came to say hello to my new neighbors. Do you live alone? Would you like to come over for dinner?"

The charm stat of 18 points seems quite good. Sakura Haruka, who is a bit of a ditz, didn't doubt Yang Li's identity and extended the invitation in a very generous manner.

In that instant, Yang Li felt her stomach churning, a sense of unease rising within her—she was hungry… People still need to eat, after all. Unfortunately, Yang Li's current condition was not suitable for interacting with others, so she chose to politely decline.

"Well... I'm sorry, I have some things to take care of right now. I'll visit you in person another day with a gift."

After declining Sakura Haruka's invitation, Yang Li quickly closed the door after the other party left, leaned against the door, slowly slid down, and finally sat on the ground.

"This is a real trap. Although other foods are available, human flesh is still the most appealing. I need to get something to eat quickly. This is really unpleasant. I can understand Kaneki Ken's breakdown and madness in the early stages of the story."

With a wry smile, Yang Li watched the sky darken and gradually fell silent.

Thank you to [古猫千里] for the three monthly tickets.

Thanks to [Gerald Asa] for the spicy snack.

Thank you for your support!

Section 47, Chapter Forty-Seven: An Encounter in the Abandoned Warehouse

Chapter 47: An Encounter in an Abandoned Warehouse

The next day, around noon, Yang Li, who had been wandering around outside for a while, went to get lunch. According to GHQ's intelligence, the enforcement forces in this area had been chasing a member of the Funeral Parlor the day before, piloting War Howl mechs. The member had stolen something very important.

A pink-haired girl, carrying something very important to GHQ, must be at the beginning of the story. Yang Li took out a high-end device similar to a mobile phone and opened an electronic map.

“I remember it was an abandoned warehouse. Let me see… Speaking of which, there must be quite a few contractors gathered in that place today. Helping Yuzuriha Inori escape might get them to join the Funeral Parlor, or helping to capture them might get them to join GHQ? I feel like that method is a bit foolish.”

Yang Li tilted his head slightly, determined the direction, then put away his equipment and took out the mask from his 'storage backpack'. Having anticipated the plot would begin that morning, Yang Li had changed into his black leather combat suit—it was practical for fighting and looked incredibly cool!

Whether you're powerful or not is a matter of time, but whether you're handsome or not is a matter of a lifetime!

Walking near Tennouzu First High School, Yang Li searched the area quietly. She remembered that in the original story, it was indeed an abandoned warehouse, and it wouldn't be too far from Tennouzu First High School, otherwise Ouma Shu wouldn't have chosen it as a place to slack off.

After vaulting over a railing, Yang Li paused slightly, sensing the presence of several auras. Her gaze shifted downwards, and the somewhat dried bloodstains on the ground were clearly visible in the sunlight.

"There are probably two hiding in the shadows, and two more in the warehouse..."

After muttering to herself for a moment, Yang Li looked at the abandoned warehouse in her line of sight and hung the mask around her fair neck. Without the slightest hesitation, Yang Li walked towards the abandoned warehouse where the female lead might be hiding, and immediately two pairs of eyes fell on her.

They were lurking in the shadows, clearly harboring some hostility, but they didn't make a move rashly. Yang Li ignored them; she was just going through the motions today, and incidentally came to meet her favorite anime goddess.

The door was ajar, not closed. Yang Li silently pushed it open, and at the same time, a very soft singing voice entered her ears. As if cleansing the soul, Yang Li's stomach, which had initially reacted, gradually calmed down, and even her urge to eat people diminished (?).

After overcoming a small initial obstacle and passing through a short passage, Yang Li entered the interior of the abandoned warehouse. A pink-haired girl was sitting on the second floor, her back to the entrance, from where the singing was coming from.

A girl sitting next to Yuzuriha Inori saw Yang Li walk into the warehouse and immediately showed a wary look in her eyes.

Upon seeing her, Yang Li was slightly taken aback. This girl was actually the one who had asked for help in the 'Abyss Paradise,' the one who was even willing to exchange warming her bed for the protection of a powerful figure.

Yang Li glanced at the girl and then paid her no further attention. Yuzuriha Inori clearly didn't notice Yang Li's arrival and continued humming that somewhat melancholic song. Judging from the bandage wrapped around her left arm, she was obviously injured.

"Qi, stop for a moment, someone is coming."

At the reminder from the unknown girl, Yuzuriha Inori stopped singing and immediately turned to look at Yang Li warily. Although Yuzuriha Inori was a bit naive, she wasn't stupid. Having been in a terrorist organization, she wouldn't lower her guard just because the newcomer was a girl.

As for Shu Ouma, it's likely that Mana Ouma's influence on Inori Yuzuriha caused her to become more cautious. As a copy of 'Eve,' everything about Inori Yuzuriha comes from Mana Ouma, which is why Mana Ouma was later able to forcibly replace her.

The instant she saw Yang Li's face clearly, a flicker of surprise flashed in Yuzuriha Inori's eyes, a crimson light that vanished in an instant. A strange emotion spread through her heart, causing her to gently clutch her chest…

Yang Li's eyes lit up with interest as he watched Yuzuriha Inori unconsciously move closer to the contractor girl. What had that contractor done to gain Yuzuriha Inori's complete trust? This contractor wasn't Shu Ouma.

'Could it be some kind of tool that can create identities, setting him up as a high-ranking member of the funeral parlor?'

With this question swirling in her mind, Yang Li calmly spread her hands, indicating that she had no weapon. However, her image had been etched into the eyes of the contractor girl for quite some time, causing the girl's initial hesitation at the vague sense of familiarity to gradually turn into certainty.

Seeing the change in the other person's expression, Yang Li smiled slightly, as if displaying the gentleness unique to Kaneki Ken. Even without using his kagune or revealing his ghoul eyes, the other person showed obvious signs of wavering.

"Kaneki Ken? How is this possible? A female version of Kaneki Ken... The protagonist of 'Tokyo Ghoul' has appeared in the world of 'Guilty Crown'? This is a huge joke... Could it be a contractor who changed their appearance and is actually a fan of Kaneki Ken?"

Yang Li overheard the contractor girl's whispers, which amused her somewhat. The girl's focus seemed a little off. Shouldn't they first determine if she was an ally or an enemy before preparing for battle?

"Night-blooming jasmine, is she someone you know?"

Seeing her companion's strange reaction, Yuzuriha Inori tilted her head slightly, revealing her adorable and slightly dazed side. If her die-hard otaku fans saw this, they'd be absolutely smitten...

Yang Li was at least somewhat charmed, while the girl next to Yuzuriha Inori was completely stunned, utterly dumbfounded. Just as she was about to say something, footsteps sounded behind Yang Li, and then a brown-haired boy walked in.

Looking at the somewhat bewildered boy, Yang Li clenched her right hand slightly, then slowly relaxed it. She was torn between wanting to kill him and trying, yet not wanting to face the Death Keeper right now.

Unaware that he had just narrowly escaped disaster, Ouma Shu, a fan of Yuzuriha Inori, immediately fixed his gaze on the three beautiful women with distinct personalities in the warehouse.

For a fleeting moment, Yang Li sensed some inexplicable, subtle change in Yuzuriha Inori, but it vanished for some unknown reason. An awkward silence filled the air, and everyone remained silent.

Yang Li's expression was somewhat subtle, not because of the changing atmosphere, but because she was hungry again... It has to be said that ever since she used Kaneki's card, Yang Li felt like she had transformed from a lover of sweet and spicy food into a complete foodie.

When using the 'Shude Mai' card, Yang Li discovered a phenomenon: she was influenced by the personality and habits of the characters on the card.

The impact is small, but it does exist, and occasionally it can lead to surprising situations, such as harassing innocent young virgins...

Ahem, please ignore some of the less-than-ideal parts; I just misspoke. Yang Li glanced at the lunchbox in Ouma Shu's hand, about to say something, when a discordant voice rang out.

"Goo~"

Section 48, Chapter Forty-Eight: Treasure Chest (Slaughter)

Chapter 48: Treasure Chest (Slaughter)

The silence in the abandoned warehouse was broken by a sudden sound, and everyone's attention immediately turned to the source of the noise. Yang Li subconsciously rubbed his chin and turned his face away.

"It wasn't me, I'm not hungry."

Seeing Yang Li's somewhat unnatural expression, two of the remaining three silently thought to themselves, "How fake!" Watching Yang Li subconsciously rub his chin, the contractor known as Night Fragrance widened his eyes slightly, and some unbelievable thoughts began to fill his mind.

Back in the real world, she watched every anime that might appear in Tier 1, since she wasn't suited for combat and could only survive by learning about the world.

The protagonist of each world is her main research subject, and her ability to maintain a good relationship with Yuzuriha Inori is largely due to this.

The reason the girl named Ye Lai Xiang was so surprised is because some online experts said that Kaneki Ken, the protagonist of Tokyo Ghoul, unconsciously rubs his chin when lying. Is this kind of subconscious reaction something a fan could easily do? It can't be true, can it...?

As Yoruichiro's mind was racing with thoughts, the adorable creature beside her, Yuzuriha Inori, suddenly gently touched her lower abdomen.

"...I'm hungry."

The way she said that made it sound as if the growling sound from her stomach had just come from her, making Ye Laixiang want to cover her face.

Seeing the scene that could have turned into a fight, Yang Li, who was itching to make a move, quietly withdrew his weapon and pretended that nothing had happened.

"What are you standing there for, you silly boy? Didn't you hear your goddess say she's hungry? You're such a clueless straight man, you don't even know how to be attentive."

Yang Li slapped Ouma Shu on the back of the head. Watching Ouma Shu stumble forward and try to fall, Yang Li refused to admit that she had just wanted to slap this guy to death.

Shu Ouma was quick-witted and reacted quickly, handing the bento box he was holding to Yoruichiro. Perhaps not daring to do anything out of line to his idol, he was quite restrained, simply staring blankly at Inori Yuzuriha.

"Excuse me, would you like to try my bento?"

As Yoruichiro accepted the bento, Yuzuriha Inori nodded slightly to Ouma Shu, the gesture so subtle it was astonishing. Having received a response from his idol, Ouma Shu seemed to be lost in thought, but he certainly appeared quite happy.

"Beep! Beep! Beep!..."
