With the ability to transform, I am a judge.

Her communicator suddenly beeped. Yang Li frowned slightly, then looked at the text message from the GHQ unit. Scanning the abandoned warehouse, she glanced at the entrance and silently took a step back.

A series of hurried footsteps began to sound, and at least five people approached the warehouse. At the same time, Ye Laixiang's communicator rang. She immediately took it out, and her expression changed drastically as she looked at the information on it.

"How could they have arrived so quickly? It shouldn't be like this..."

Ye Laixiang immediately drew her pistol from her waist and pointed it at Yang Li, looking as if she might shoot at any moment. This change startled the male protagonist, Ouma Shu, while Yang Li remained indifferent, a blood-red, menacing vein appearing in his left eye socket.

The sight of Yang Li confirms Ye Laixiang's suspicions, forcing her to move her gun away. She doesn't have the capability to fire at someone as powerful as Kaneki Ken.

"Qi, we're preparing to break out. Our comrades are waiting for us outside."

Night Fragrance tapped several times on the communicator in her hand, then grabbed Yuzuriha Inori and prepared to run away. At the same time, two strangely dressed men rushed into the abandoned warehouse.

Yang Li observed them discreetly. Neither man was wearing GHQ uniforms, so they weren't GHQ soldiers. And what about the so-called companion Ye Laixiang had mentioned earlier who helped them break through?

Yang Li felt like she understood something... First, Ye Lai Xiang used a tool to create the identity of a member of the Funeral Parlor, then followed Yuzuriha Inori on missions, while the other contractor companions made a deal with her. The deal was roughly to help them join the Funeral Parlor, and they would protect this contractor girl in the world of Guilty Crown.

A good method, and it might even bring us closer to the first Void Genome, since the Void Genome that appeared at the beginning of the story is now located in this abandoned warehouse.

Glancing at the insect-type robot 'Finaru' next to Yuzuriha Inori, Yang Li quietly flexed his wrist, observing the other contractors besides himself with his ghoul eyes.

"Quick! The target is inside!"

An angry shout rang out from outside the warehouse. Two men carrying AK rifles exchanged a glance and then hid on either side of the warehouse entrance. A violent kicking sound followed, and sunlight cast several shadows across the warehouse entrance.

"Tattoo..."

In that instant, the two men sprang forward, pulled the trigger, and began firing. As the brass-colored shell casings fell to the ground, several GHQ soldiers collapsed. Just as the few remaining soldiers outside were preparing to retreat, the two men rushed out of the warehouse.

During the brief exchange of fire, Yoruichiro pulled Yuzuriha Inori along, preparing to escape through the main entrance. Meanwhile, the insect-type robot 'Finaru' extended its mechanical claws, ready to drag Ouma Shu away as well.

"Click".

A crisp sound rang out from Yang Li's direction, causing Ye Laixiang to subconsciously look over, only to see Yang Li cracking his knuckles.

The bone healed instantly as it broke. Yang Li felt the pain and really didn't know why she had made that move... Kaneki-chan developed this habit after being abused by Gecko, but Yang Li had never been abused!

Suppressing the throbbing pain, Yang Li didn't grimace; instead, a scarlet kagune emerged from his back.

Night-blooming Jasmine's alarm bells rang, and she immediately lay down on the ground with Yuzuriha Inori in her arms. The next moment, her thick kagune completely destroyed the building structure at the entrance.

Shu Ouma was buried in the ruins because he didn't have time to react, while Yoruichiro rolled outside the warehouse with Yuzuriha Inori in her arms. Looking at the collapsed warehouse entrance, she pulled Yuzuriha Inori and tried to escape.

"Wait a minute, what are you doing? We haven't gotten that thing yet."

"You take it if you want, I don't want to fight that kind of monster!"

The two grown men were momentarily confused, but one of them quickly changed his expression and ran off with Ye Laixiang without looking back. This guy was a contractor with developed perception abilities; he sensed the bloodthirsty aura that had suddenly erupted in the warehouse…

"Tch! Coward, what's there to be afraid of, Shu Ouma... Once I get the Void Genome, I can make a fortune even if I don't do the first main quest."

Completely oblivious to what was about to happen, the thick-skinned man calmly walked towards the entrance of the now-ruined warehouse, intending to rummage through the rubble. The next moment, the ruins suddenly exploded, a cloud of smoke obscuring his vision.

"Sizzle!..."

As the smoke and dust settled, accompanied by the sound of a machine being torn apart, four scales suddenly pierced through the man. Under his incredulous gaze, Yang Li tore open the machine called 'Feinaru' and took out a high-tech test tube inside.

Wearing a mask, Yang Li seemed to merge with Bai Jinmu (Niang) at this moment, their temperaments completely identical. Ignoring the half-dead creature hanging on the kagune, Yang Li tossed it aside.

You have obtained a treasure chest (from killing)!

A crimson treasure chest suddenly appeared from the male corpse. Yang Li was slightly taken aback, then picked it up. This guy was a good person; he even helped her in his dying moments.

Thanks to 【Gift of Death】 for the two monthly tickets. By the way, your name is a little creepy!

Thank you to [Reflection·Dust·Shadow] for the monthly pass.

Thank you for your support!!

Section 49, Chapter Forty-Nine: The Void Genome

Chapter 49: The Void Genome

Holding the Void Genome in his hand, Yang Li glanced at Ouma Shu, who was lying on the ground, having just been knocked unconscious by the Kagune, and then ignored him. Without the Void Genome and the so-called power of a king, this protagonist would basically be nothing more than a nobody.

Killing the protagonist might bring high rewards, but it's only a possibility; the world itself will definitely not let it go easily. Rather than confronting an insurmountable enemy prematurely, it's better to wait until closer to departure…

Taking out one of the only two [Special High Explosive Bombs], Yang Li roughly pried open Ouma Shu's mouth and stuffed the bomb, which was only the size of a fingertip, inside.

This bomb is quite peculiar; it's incredibly sticky and will likely adhere to Ouma Shu's stomach wall until the moment of explosion.

Yang Li casually hid Ouma Shu in a corner, kicked aside the remains of 'Finaru' on the ground, and silently walked out of the warehouse. If she remembered correctly, there was another plot point that night, which was probably the contractors' last chance to join.

Although the storyline dictates that the Funeral Parlor will later have to rescue the civilians controlled by GHQ, there isn't enough time. The main quest (one) has a three-day time limit, and almost 48 hours have passed since it began.

Yang Li held the Void Genome in his hand, and 'Abyss Paradise' gave him an item hint.

Void Genome (Rank Unknown)

Source: Dimensional World 'Guilty Crown'

Durability: 1/1 (Item type, limited number of uses)

Effects: All attributes except Charisma and Luck +5, and the user's Void is enhanced! Gain 'King's Power', allowing the user to materialize the Apocalypse Virus into Void for use. The Void has the same genome level as the Void!

Note: The type of void is related to the target from which the void is extracted; it is an armed manifestation of the mind's image.

Warning: Injecting the Void Genome will result in extremely high concentrations of the Apocalypse Virus in the body, which poses certain hidden dangers!

Warning: Except for 'Adam' and 'Adam Candidate' recognized by 'Eve', unless the user has the strength or willpower to transcend the consciousness of the Apocalypse, they will 100% crystallize and die from the Apocalypse Virus!

Note: This item is extremely rare and can be used to exchange for special items!

Synopsis: A salute to the king's birth!

Price: 30000 trading points.

Upon seeing the description "Rank Unknown," Yang Li was stunned. The quality of this Void Genome was actually above that of "Dream Transformation: Kaneki Ken."

She really didn't know what qualities lay beyond that. Perhaps this was a limitation of 'Abyss Paradise'? It didn't allow contractors to know things that were inconsistent with their strength too early. Sometimes knowing too much wasn't a good thing.

Yang Li stored the Void Genome in her 'savings backpack', with no intention of using it. After all, she wasn't 'Adam,' and didn't even qualify to be 'Adam's successor,' because she didn't have Jill right now…

Uh oh, cough cough, that was just a slip of the tongue, please ignore it. Because Yang Li is currently facing a gender issue, she can at most become 'Eve', but 'Eve' has already been chosen long ago.

Only Eve, Adam, and the Adam Candidate are capable of bearing the power of the void. It's already quite remarkable that Yang Li, an outsider, hasn't been targeted by the world. Without powerful backing, Yang Li would probably be under attack by the world by now, given her significant alterations to the plot.

If the world were truly targeting a particular person, then everything in the world would be against that person and would want to kill them… For details, please refer to 'Final Destination'.

The plot development is the foundation of anime, which is easy to understand. The level of world exploration at the final settlement is actually equivalent to the level of interference with the world's development.

Otherwise, why would Yang Li gain a large amount of world exploration points after the female protagonist, Rei Miyamoto, dies? It's obvious that changing the plot has rewards, and the more you change, the better.

However, Yang Li, who prefers to play with an advantage, remains very steady. After all, how can they lose when the flying dragon is right in front of them? If they lose the advantage of being familiar with the plot, then the contractors' situation will become much more dangerous.

Yang Li brushed her hair aside, retracting the kagune that could cause panic. After a few running starts, she leaped onto a house and headed towards Roppongi. GHQ's offensive would begin that night, and Yang Li planned to get something to eat nearby first.

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

As night fell, in a restaurant on the outskirts of Roppongi, Yang Li heartily devoured the steak in front of him. His domineering and arrogant demeanor deterred countless people who wanted to strike up a conversation; after all, who could resist such a masculine and unrestrained attitude?

Without even looking, she's a total tomboy, although Yang Li certainly has a man's soul inside her girlish body... If she were to cross her legs now, wear slippers, and rub her toes, that would be the real deal...

Ignoring the various emotions in the eyes of the other diners, Yang Li devoured her food with lightning speed; hunger was the greatest enemy! If she ever drew a card with a distinctive aloof expression, her compatibility with that character probably wouldn't be too bad, though Yang Li seemed a bit lacking in elegance…

In fact, Yang Li is perfectly capable of eating elegantly, but she deliberately creates a tomboyish image to prevent unwanted attention from others.

After swallowing all the food, Yang Li pulled out a tissue to wipe her mouth, then took out a few banknotes from her hand and placed them on the table.

Yang Li put his hands in his pockets, took out the communicator from his 'savings backpack,' and looked at the mission report on it. Time was running out; if he didn't get there soon, it would be too late.

As Yang Li stepped out of the restaurant, his figure gradually disappeared into the shadows of the alley, where four scarlet kagune flared out in the darkness.

With his menacing black and red left eye already lit up, Yang Li scaled the high fence marked with a 'Level 1 Pollution Area' sign and announced his arrival on his communicator.

Now that he's joined GHQ, Yang Li will basically handle anything that shouldn't be a problem, since it's not a big deal anyway.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!..." "Boom! Boom! Boom! BOOM!!"

The sound of artillery fire rang out everywhere as the GHQ launched an attack on the Roppongi area, blasting countless buildings away with the falling shells. Everything around them became chaotic; clearly, someone was getting restless, most likely the funeral parlors were starting to mobilize.

As they ventured deeper, several figures suddenly appeared on a high point ahead, coming into Yang Li's view. Yang Li narrowed his eyes slightly, watching the approaching figures; the weapons they were wielding seemed rather out of place.

Most likely, this is a squad of contractors specifically sent to intercept GHQ contractors.

Thank you [123opk] for the 10 blades! Thank you so much for your support!! Thank you so much, sir/madam!!

Section 50, Chapter 50: The Contractor Squad

Chapter 50: The Contractor Squad

Yang Li had previously learned from 'Abyss Paradise' that when carrying out missions in the 'Dimensional World', contractors could form teams, which was a matter approved by 'Abyss Paradise' itself.

Forming a team with complementary strengths significantly reduces the risks involved in completing the mission, and the constraints of 'Abyss Paradise' virtually eliminate the possibility of betrayal. After all, betrayal comes at a severe cost: 'Abyss Paradise' will forcibly deduct 10% of all attributes.

10% may not seem like much, but luck is a number that is difficult to increase. If it is reduced further, wouldn't we be doomed? After all, it is needed to open treasure chests, to enhance equipment, and even in normal battles, luck has a certain impact.

After all, if someone is favored by the world, then, given a relatively small difference in strength, the world's assistance can help them win relatively easily. Conversely, if someone's luck is extremely low, or even negative, they might experience a feeling similar to 'Final Destination'.

At that point, forget about fighting, you might even face a life-or-death crisis just by going out for a stroll, so what's the point of fighting? Of course, luck won't have a significant impact during battles; it's more about actual combat strength, combat experience, equipment, skills, and so on.

There were five people in total. They weren't overly wary of each other, but there was some caution; they seemed to be a small team. The five people, carrying various weapons, gradually emerged from the darkness, their appearances revealed.

Three men and two women, which is actually not bad, and the team lineup seems to be quite complete.

One was a melee fighter wielding dual swords, the one who slipped away from the warehouse without looking back; another was a ranged shooter wielding a gun that looked to be of high quality; and the third was an old man with a wooden staff who appeared to be a mage.

As for the two girls, one of them was the one Yang Li had seen in the warehouse during the day. She also carried a staff, but her demeanor was noticeably gentler than the old man's. The other girl was quite muscular, with a thick metal shield all over her body.

"It's you! Everyone be careful, this guy might really be Kaneki Ken, the protagonist of Tokyo Ghoul, only a female version!"

Upon seeing Yang Li's appearance and attire, the girl who had run away with Yuzuriha Inori in the warehouse immediately lost control, after all, Yang Li's ability to easily tear apart steel was undeniable.

Bai Jinmu is not the type to hold back against her enemies, let alone in her eyes Yang Li is Bai Jinmu who has entered the 'Abyss Paradise', where the law of the jungle can completely change a person.
