The Villain Knight Doesn't Want to Be a Hero

After staying outside for a while and confirming that he was asleep from his heartbeat and breathing frequency, Lin Qiao left.

"It's your turn next, Yueshan Xi."

I also hope Kaneki Ken can give some help.

Chapter 52 Gourmet Restaurant

Am I some special existence...?

After transforming from a human into a ghoul, a young man named Kaneki Ken has asked himself this question more than once.

The misty mirror could only reflect a blurry face, but one could still see two completely different eyes reflected in it.

The right eye belongs to a human, and the left eye belongs to a ghoul.

I simply wiped the mist off the mirror and looked at myself in it.

Neither human nor ghoul; unable to fully integrate into the world of ghouls, nor able to completely escape from his human past.

But just in the past few days, he met a unique person... no, it should be said that he was a ghoul.

Tsukiyama Shuu, nicknamed "Gourmet", is a ghoul who doesn't look like a ghoul at all, and has none of the bloodthirsty and violent side that he imagined.

Although he was somewhat curious, because everyone in the store had said that he was a troublesome person in District 20, and because of Lin Qiao's relationship, he had no intention of contacting him at first.

But there is a saying that goes "Falling flowers have feelings, but flowing water is heartless"... It seems that this saying should not be used here, but the meaning is conveyed.

Anyway, he was entangled by that person.

Having said that, the other person is not the type who would come up to you and tell awkward jokes to be annoying.

On the contrary, he gives people an inexplicable affinity, even to people who like literary books like him, he can always say something eye-opening. His manners and conversation are completely different from the ghouls he has come into contact with, and instead, he seems like a wealthy young man with a higher education.

And the two sides also have a common topic - Kamishiro Rize.

She was once the object of his admiration, but on the other hand, not only did she nearly cost him his life, but the reason he became a ghoul was also due to the transplant of her internal organs.

Kaneki Ken has very complicated emotions towards this woman. It can't be called love, but it's hard to say it's pure hatred either.

.......In general, it's just a bit of Stockholm syndrome.

"By the way, Kaneki, there's a store nearby that Miss Kamishiro used to frequent. I happen to have some connections there, so if we go there we can get a good seat. Do you want to go with me?"

Is this the shop Ms. Rize used to go to...?

He had the urge to nod in agreement, but the reminders from the people in the Anding District seemed to echo in his ears, causing him to hesitate a little.

Mr. Tsukiyama is a troublemaker in District 20...

But...if you just go and take a look, just for a moment there shouldn't be any problem, right?

After some hesitation, he finally walked into the black car with Yueshan Xi.

The two of them came to a place that was so magnificent that it could almost be said to be a palace.

Luxury reveals grandeur.

The overall tone is an exciting red. The decoration inside and the art paintings on the walls make people feel a strong sense of classical beauty, as if they have traveled through time and space back to the castle of European nobles five hundred years ago.

"I'm sorry, Kaneki. I need to talk to the owner of this place for a while. I'll excuse myself for now... By the way, they will show you around here later."

After chatting quietly with the woman in butler's uniform, Tsukiyama Xi walked into another room, and two masked servants came up to greet him respectfully.

"Master Kaneki, this way please."

“Ah… yes.”

The expression on his face was a little stiff. To be honest, he was not used to this kind of atmosphere.

Following the two of them, he continued walking through the castle that was like a maze. The servant walking in front did not say much, but took him to a place that looked like a bathroom and asked him to wash his body.

They said it was a ritual before dinner or something.

"Lord Kaneki, we have prepared the clothes. Please come to the main hall to eat after you have washed them."

The male butler outside the bathroom spoke up.

Kaneki Ken walked out of the bathroom and changed into a suitable tuxedo, the size of which seemed to be tailor-made for him. He was led by the servant to the main hall.

The white-masked maid pushing the food cart handed him a cup of coffee, which tasted just as good as the one in Anding District.

"Mr. Tsukiyama...are you not coming yet?"

Just when he was about to sit down and wait for Yueshan Xi, he seemed to have touched some strange mechanism.

The surrounding lights went out instantly, and the floor beneath my feet continued to rise to form a circular platform, while a hole opened in the ceiling above my head that was just big enough for the circular platform to pass through.

“What…what is this!?”

A feeling that something bad was going to happen came over him, but before he could do anything, a light like a stage spotlight shone on him.

He stretched out his hand to block the glaring light, and with the help of the spotlights flashing around him, he could see the scenes around him that made him feel weak at the knees.

The textured brick floor was covered in bloodstains, and several cannibalized human remains were thrown aside, clearly having died not long ago.

It was like the center of the ancient Roman Colosseum, with men and women in gorgeous clothes on the high stands around. At this moment, he was like a rare animal locked in a cage in a zoo, being visited by people.

Maybe worse than that…?

The host on the stands was introducing a dish called "Kaneki Ken" in a very impressive voice, and when he mentioned that it was provided by "Mr. MM", all the ghouls in the audience cheered.

Even some ghouls who were originally resistant to co-ghoulism became very interested after hearing the name.

"Mr. Yue.... Yueshan..."

Even though he was wearing a mask and had changed into a white suit that was different from the one he wore when he came, his iconic short blue hair still allowed him to recognize the man who was surrounded by two charming female ghouls.

In an instant, he understood everything.

——From the very beginning, this was a trap set for him. Whether it was actively approaching him or later talking about Kamishiro Rize, it was all for this moment.

As Tsukiyama Shuu threw the handkerchief stained with his blood to the other ghouls, the unique smell of the one-eyed ghoul on it immediately caused even more enthusiastic cheers to rang out in the arena.

He knelt on the ground in despair. The pungent smell of blood in the air, which was extremely tempting to ghouls, was constantly reminding him that staying here would lead to death.

"We must escape!"

However, when he tried to find an escape route, he was horrified to discover that there was no place for him to escape.

It was obviously impossible for him to lift the metal hanging doors on the four sides with his strength.

How to do?

How to do?

How to do?

Although he was at a loss as to what to do, the ghouls present would not wait for him. Rather, they could not wait to enjoy this human-tasting creature.

"Next, please welcome the chef who will be dissecting today's main dish - Kotaro, who was raised by Mrs. A!"

As the host finished speaking, the metal door slowly rose.

In the darkness...

Slow and heavy footsteps came from inside, and a burly figure as big as a hill appeared in Kaneki Ken's sight.

Then...he fell to the ground lifeless.

There was a wound on his chest and head that completely penetrated his body. Blood kept gushing out, extending from the corridor to the arena.

"What a coincidence, Kotaro has to take a sick leave today... From now on, I will be in charge of the killing spree!"

A terrifying red light flashed in the six spider eyes on the forehead.

After completing the transformation, Lin Qiao stepped on the corpse of the disintegrator and slowly walked out of the darkness.

Chapter 53: Why stealth when you have a smoke gun?

Time went back to more than half an hour ago.

Long before Kaneki Ken was tricked by the blue-haired pervert into being used as an ingredient.

In the coffee shop where they were, a middle-aged man with a moustache was sitting diagonally opposite them, secretly observing something.

After calmly taking a picture of the two people holding hands with his mobile phone, he walked out of the cafe, returned to the car, and made a call.

"Hello, Mr. Ishimori? It's me, Detective Kudo. You asked me to investigate your sister's boyfriend. Now there is a result. But how should I tell you about this matter...?"

After organizing his words, even though Detective Kudo, who had received many commissions for infidelity investigations, felt his anus tighten when he saw Tsukiyama Shuu's affectionate eyes towards Kaneki Ken, and when he heard the other party's hahaha and smelled the handkerchief stained with the latter's sweat outside the bathroom.

Are all gays so scary these days?

He specifically targets married men. He is simply a novice!

"Well, although times are changing and people are more open-minded about some things, and the gender of each other is not a problem, and to some extent he is also a victim, but... uh, I personally suggest that your sister find someone else."

"Anyway, I'll send you the pictures first. Yes, they're still in the store now... Is that the address? OK, OK, please wait, I'll send it to you right away."

"But I just heard that they are going somewhere together later. Do you think you need me... No need, right? That's fine too. You can just transfer the balance to the original card."

Send the location of the coffee shop and photos of the store to Lin Qiao on the other end of the phone.

Ding Dong!

Two minutes later, his cell phone alert rang. He looked down at the text message from the bank and found that in addition to the balance he should have received, he also received an extra 100,000 yuan in thank-you fee.

Detective Kudo breathed a sigh of relief and felt a sense of joy at the same time.

How should I put it? Although he was a very picky customer and made many requests, such as reporting the other party's movements to him every few minutes, when not to track him and never to be discovered, he treated him like a rookie.

But I have to say, this is really generous.

With this money, our family doesn't have to be so tight these days - my son just happens to want to go to the amusement park, so let's celebrate. Tomorrow my wife and I will take that brat out to have a good time.

After sitting in the car and laughing foolishly for a while, he inserted the key and drove away, returning to his office.

Shortly after he left, smoke suddenly appeared on the roof of a nearby building.

When it dispersed, a Kamen Rider covered in red armor appeared there.

"That uncle is quite efficient."

As for the extra money, just consider it as compensation for the risk taken by the other party.

I walked to the edge of the roof and looked down, and quickly found the coffee shop by referring to the photos given by the detective.

At the same time, Kaneki Ken walked into the car accompanied by Tsukiyama Shuu, and the black luxury car carried the two of them forward.

In order to avoid being discovered, Lin Qiao just followed the black car from a distance, jumping slowly between the rooftops.

After a while, the black luxury car that arrived at District 7 stopped by the roadside. The driver opened the door for them, and the two got out of the car, talking and laughing.

It was a little different from what Lin Qiao had initially expected.

He had thought that the ghoul restaurant would be built in the deep mountains and forests, or near a remote unfinished building. At least it would not look too conspicuous.

But in fact, it was exactly the opposite of what he thought.

The two walked into a European-style hotel with an almost luxurious decoration. Although there were not many people around, it was purely because the hotel covered a very large area.

The ornamental garden and the parking lot behind the hotel alone have created a small no-man's land here.

Judging from the parking situation in the parking lot, Tsukiyama Shuu and Kaneki Ken did not arrive early. Many ghouls had already come here before them.

"It seems that it will be difficult to sneak in without alerting others."

Looking around, it was not completely dark yet. Even if there were trees on both sides of the road as cover, it would be difficult for him to sneak in quietly with his transformed size and color. Moreover, there was an uncovered road of nearly 50 meters in front of the hotel gate.

And more importantly, the people here are quite vigilant.

In just less than two minutes, he had discovered no less than ten security guards standing on high places watching, as well as several hidden sentries.

Not only that, there are also more than twenty security guards and hounds patrolling the garden below at all times.

Perhaps the only good news was that his perception, which was comparable to that of Kuuga's Tenma form, allowed him to confirm that there were no surveillance cameras installed in the hotel - but there were some outside.

There's some trouble...

If he kills all these people, it will take at most one minute, but if he sneaks in...
