Fighting you is like being in jail.

The assassination squad, led by Illuso, appeared before Kaneki and Ayato.

"Hehehe... I thought the Hot Anomalies were something special, but this is all they are?"

A mocking voice rang out, and Kaneki and Aya both looked ahead with tense and wary expressions.

"Where's Pochi! What did you do to Pochi?!"

Kaneki suddenly remembered that Goto Ichiri was the first to be attacked, and hurriedly shouted in alarm.

Upon hearing this, Iruso silently raised his finger, pointing to the floor of the conference room, and said:

"Pochi? You mean the woman lying at your feet?"

Kaneki and Aya both looked down sharply and saw Goto Ichiri, dressed in a pink tracksuit, lying on the ground in the same defeated pose as Yamcha.

"Po-chi!!"

"What did you do to her?!"

Ayato and Kaneki immediately shouted fiercely. Reiyi gave them a sense of home, and they genuinely considered Reiyi as family.

Seeing Goto Ichiri in this state, how could he not be furious!

Iluso grinned in disgust, pointing at Goto Ichiri's finger and saying:

"Hey, let's get this straight. I didn't do anything. This guy came in trembling with fear, then his little toe hit the corner of the table, and in pain he bent over and hit his head, and passed out."

“…”

"..."

Kaneki and Ayato were at a loss for words upon hearing this, staring at the unconscious Goto Ichiri with a bewildered expression.

What kind of situation could cause a perfectly healthy person to bump their little toe and then their head, causing them to faint?

"Impossible! You must have done it."

"..."

This time it was Illuso's turn to be speechless, his lips twitching as he looked at Kaneki and Ayato.

But it's okay.

He took a deep breath and said in a low voice.

"That's not important at all! What's important is—! To kill you all!"

嗖

The wind, a whistling sound coming straight at him, rushed towards Kaneki's face.

"Huh? Why is there wind?" Kaneki paused, puzzled.

then……

Bang-!

"Puwa!!"

He felt something punch him hard in the face, which he couldn't see, and he fell onto a table next to him.

"Kaneki! What happened?!"

Ayato's eyes widened, and he quickly turned his head, his pupils trembling as he stared at the scene. He couldn't understand what was going on and shouted at the fallen Kaneki.

As Kaneki fell, he covered his face with his hands, feeling countless fists pounding into him.

Bang bang bang!

The violent blow left him unable to react, and he could only grit his teeth and defend himself.

"Hahahaha! How could guys who don't even have a Stand possibly fight a Stand user! You won't even have a chance to fight back!!"

Iluso opened his mouth and shouted triumphantly, his lips curling up in a fierce and arrogant smile.

The next second, Ayato's eyes narrowed, blood-red ghouls appeared, and feathered ghouls unfurled behind him as he charged towards Iruso, brimming with bloodlust.

Even if I can't see you, it's the same as killing you!

The claws, traveling at 300 kilometers per hour, instantly grabbed at Iruso, their force enough to instantly kill him.

Iruso's pupils contracted, and his expression changed drastically. With such speed and power, he would be finished if he even touched it!

"Hmm! Oh no! I can't dodge at this speed!"

"Go to hell!"

With a roar, Xuan Du swung his claw upwards, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

In that instant, without the slightest hesitation, Illuso instinctively raised his hand to shield his face, and a mirror reflected Ayato's body in his palm!

"Man in the Mirror!"

Click!

The attack that was about to hit Illuso instantly turned into purple fragments and disappeared before their eyes!

"What!? My hand!!"

Ayato's attack missed, and he stared wide-eyed in disbelief. In the instant he tried to regain his balance, he discovered that his legs, and even half his body, were gone.

This is...? My body seems to have vanished!

Poof!

He collapsed to the ground, his eyes wide with disbelief; having lost half his body, he was unable to move.

"Ayaka-to!"

Upon seeing this, Kaneki on the ground opened his mouth and shouted. His eyes instantly revealed kagune, and blood-red tentacles shot out from his body towards Iruso.

"Tsk! Is this never going to end?"

Upon seeing Kaneki's scales approaching, Illuso immediately leaped backward, raising his upper arms high and placing them in front of and behind his neck. He then curled his thighs into a half-squat mid-air, retreating in a stylish pose. Simultaneously, the mirror in front of his neck and palm reflected Kaneki's image.

"Man in the Mirror—! You ghouls have no idea how terrifying Stands are!"

No matter how you resist everything, there will only be one outcome!

Click!

The crimson kagune shattered like glass and vanished just before it touched Illuso.

"This is—! A Stand attack!?"

Kaneki's face darkened as he watched his kagune disappear. He gritted his teeth and grinned, his eyes flashing with resentment.

Iruso, standing in front, stomped his foot on the ground, leaned forward, pounded his arm, and supported himself with his other hand, letting out a boastful and stylish laugh:

"Hahahaha! See that?! You can't even get close to me!"

"You ghouls should just quietly wait to die! You think you can fight us? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Kaneki didn't quite understand why he made so many moves, but now that he had lost his kagune, he had no means of attack.

Just as I was deep in thought, a whooshing sound rang out in front of me.

Oh no! It's a Stand attack!

Bang-!

Kaneki was hit hard in the face, blood spurting from his mouth, and he fell to the side in pain.

It's not over yet!

The continuous, unseen attacks made his whole body tremble, his muscles tense as he resisted the blows from the fists.

bang bang bang bang bang

The sounds of beatings came from his body, and he kept backing away.

I can't see anything! I can't see anything... all I can do is get beaten up!

"Die! Die! Die! Die!"

"Damn, why are all the only ones so hard?!"

Illuso opened his mouth and shouted, manipulating his Stand to attack with great momentum, his eyes filled with killing intent.

Unable to move, Ayato could only lie on the ground and watch Kaneki being beaten by something he couldn't see. He could only clench his fists and grit his teeth in resentment, glaring angrily at Iruso.

And in the chat group

Through Kaname Madoka's unique perspective as a god, everyone saw the live broadcast.

Madoka Kaname: Wow! He got beaten up badly. Shall we go help him now?

Leng Chang: Caw! I want to see this mouth and teeth! No rush! Jin Mu has a sure-fire way to win. If all else fails, we'll make our move.

Homura Akemi: ...

Ping Jiajing: Twitch!

Bucciarati: Not being able to see a stunt double is a real drawback, and I don't know if it will work out in the future.

Homura Akemi: But speaking of which... the person in the mirror's fist... is surprisingly weak.

Kitahara Iori: A Stand that can be brutally beaten by a Power C Apache, it would be strange if it weren't weak.

Bucciarati: Ah, that's true.

Goto Ichiri: What happened?! What happened?!

Leng Chang: It's okay, you can lie down for a while longer. It's not your turn to appear yet.

Goto Ichiri: Oh!

Chapter 136 Luckily, I'm a cut above the rest!

Bang bang bang bang!

The relentless barrage of punches rained down on Kaneki's face, leaving him barely conscious.

Since they couldn't see the stunt double, they had no way to defend themselves and could only let themselves be punched.

Iruso stood at a distance, not getting any closer, maintaining a very fashionable pose, though his face was covered in a bit of cold sweat.

Hard! So hard!

He's fought ghouls before, but tough guys like Kaneki are just too much of a pain.

He didn't feel at all that his own strength was too low.

"Why are you all so difficult to deal with! You don't even have a substitute! Let's see how long you can last!!"

Bang bang bang bang!

He was a little dazed, and the image of Yoshimura Eto's smile echoed in his mind. He was perfectly fine when they said goodbye, but in the blink of an eye, he was lying in a hospital bed.

She's such a gentle person!

Someone who works so hard for everyone

You—! How could you do such a thing?!

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah--!"

Kaneki roared, straining his entire body to withstand the punches while maintaining his balance on the ground. He ignored the Stand's attacks, his eyes flashing with ferocity.

"Defeat you—!"

He charged madly toward Iluso, his fist clenched and swung at 300 km/h, aiming straight for Iluso's face!

"Even if you try your hardest, it's useless!!"

Illuso remained calm and, as before, raised his hand and pointed the mirror at Kaneki's body.

His body lunged forward, landing heavily on the ground along the broken tracks.

噗嗵

Kaneki's pupils contracted, a sorrowful resentment welling up within him as he gritted his teeth, feeling the impact of his body hitting the ground.
