Genichi Hanyu's gaze seemed to pierce through the thick walls of the laboratory, revealing the figures scheming and plotting at the pinnacle of power: "Doubt is an instinct etched into their very bones."
"They suspect me of hiding things, they suspect me of leaving backdoors, they suspect me of planting a bomb in their genes that can control them!"
“Even if I hand over a 100% original version, they will use the most sophisticated instruments and the most stringent standards to repeatedly test it, looking for traps that may not even exist. This is a common problem among those in power, and it is also their inevitable fear and suspicion when facing absolute power.”
A knowing smile played on his lips: "So rather than letting them waste time on pointless suspicion, or even risk uncontrollable genetic collapse due to overanalysis, I'd better take the initiative and give them a visible constraint."
"This one-tenth of the cut version is the best reassurance."
Genichi Hanyu's voice carried a strange, cold wisdom: "I clearly told them that I was holding back, that I was on guard against them, but its effects were real and visible—physical strength and lifespan far exceeding that of ordinary people. This was enough to satisfy their current fantasies and needs for super soldiers, to let them see the value of continuing to cooperate, and at the same time, to clearly define the boundaries—the true core of power will always be in my hands."
“They will be dissatisfied, they will secretly study it, and they will try to find ways to break through this restriction, but that is exactly what I want.”
A calculating glint flashed in Yuzuru's eyes.
"It's better to let them focus their energy on cracking this known castration lock than to let them wander aimlessly around studying those dangerous and forbidden ghosts!"
"Moreover, the process of cracking the code itself is a free verification and stress test of my skills, so why not?"
He Xi listened quietly. The initial mischievousness in her insightful blue eyes had long since disappeared, replaced by a deep understanding, tinged with a subtle, almost imperceptible apprehension.
Looking at the excessively young man before her, whose mind was as deep as an abyss, she realized for the first time that his mastery of political maneuvering and understanding human nature was in no way inferior to his control over power.
This is a ruthless yet highly efficient wisdom that manipulates people's hearts and minds.
She remained silent for a few seconds, and finally just nodded slightly, which was considered as acknowledging Genichi Hanyu's logic.
Faced with absolute power and resource monopoly, the reactions of the five philanthropists were indeed within his expectations and control.
"I've made my decision about the next world."
"The next world?"
He Xi's attention was instantly and completely drawn in!
Those deep blue eyes, which seemed to contain a galaxy, instantly lit up with an amazing light!
The previous discussion about castration genes was instantly forgotten!

Explore the unknown, decipher the rules of another world, and obtain samples of new technologies and powers.
This is the fuel that can ignite the soul fire of this Heavenly King!
"Where is it? What is its energy level? What is its tech tree biased towards? Are there any special rules?"
He Xi's voice was unusually urgent as she fired off a barrage of questions, her body involuntarily taking a step forward, her gaze fixed intently on Yuzuru Genichi.
As Yuzuru Genichi watched Tsurugi instantly switch from a calm scientist to a fervent explorer, a satisfied smile flashed in his eyes.
He liked that look in his eyes, filled with a pure thirst for knowledge about the unknown.
"Specific information."
Genichi Hanyu deliberately dragged out his words, appreciating the almost tangible look of anticipation in Tsuruhi's eyes.
"It's all here."
He stretched out his hand, palm up.
The space distorted slightly, and a glass test tube with an extremely simple design, as if carved from the purest crystal, appeared out of thin air in his hand.
The test tube contained not liquid, but a slowly swirling, flowing, and shimmering silvery-white mist!
The mist seemed to possess a life of its own, gently colliding and flowing between the inner walls of the test tube, occasionally condensing into blurry fragments of images—indistinctly visible towering steel jungles, strange energy streams, and the outlines of creatures with distinct shapes.
Sometimes it disperses, transforming into a hazy nebula.
It exudes an indescribable, strange aura.
"This is."
He Xi's gaze was instantly drawn to that test tube!
With her knowledge and insightful eyes, she instantly sensed the vast and complex information contained within the silvery-white mist!
That was by no means a simple record of text or images!
"The materialization of the memories I extracted, the plot of that world."
Genichi Hanyu's voice carried a hint of mystery, "Or rather, it is a concrete flow of information about a certain possibility that the future of that world might take, which I extracted and sealed away from my understanding."
He gently handed the glass test tube, which was filled with silvery-white mist, to He Xi.
"Take it and go look at it yourself. Analyze it. What preparations are needed and what resources need to be mobilized? Just apply to Yukino Yukinoshita and give it the highest priority."
He Xi almost held her breath, carefully extending her hands as if holding a rare treasure, and accepted the crystal test tube.
When her fingertips touched the cool test tube wall, the silvery-white mist inside seemed to respond to something, its rotation speed slightly increasing, and its starlight flickering more frequently.
Are 229 ghouls immune to bullets? Who said that?
Genichi Hanyu sat in a large chair in the Chaldea command center, with several light screens floating in front of him, displaying preliminary scan data and analysis reports about the Tokyo Ghoul world.
His fingertips tapped unconsciously on the armrest, his eyes filled with an almost bored scrutiny.
"Tsk, Tokyo Ghoul."
He muttered to himself, his tone filled with undisguised contempt.
"Compared to Demon Slayer, the difference is not small."
The screen scrolled through the ghoul's basic data: superhuman strength, speed, regeneration, and its signature kagune, which resembled bio-armor.
But in Genichiro Hanyu's eyes, these data seemed so weak.
"Supposedly able to stop bullets?"
Genichi Hanyu chuckled and casually brought up a simulated battle scene.
In the scene, a low-level ghoul is trying to use his kagune to block a regular pistol bullet.
"If ordinary bullets won't work, how about armor-piercing bullets? 7.62mm armor-piercing bullets can even tear through the steel plates of a light armored vehicle, so how could they not penetrate your skin?"
He pointed a finger at the screen, and the scene switched.
In the simulation, a high-speed spinning tungsten-core armor-piercing projectile sliced through butter like a red-hot knife, instantly tearing apart the ghoul's hastily assembled armored defenses and creating a bowl-sized hole in its chest!
The ghoul let out a shrill scream and collapsed to the ground, convulsing.
"Not to mention anti-materiel weapons, high-explosive rounds, or even energy weapons."
Genichi Hanyu turned off the simulation, his eyes indifferent.
"The so-called copper skin and iron bones are a joke in the face of real modern firepower, not to mention those Upper Moon demons in Demon Slayer, who have almost no weaknesses except for sunlight, and their regenerative ability is abnormal. These ghouls have a lot of weaknesses, and their RC cells are not unlimited. They will still die if their heads are cut off."
He even found it somewhat boring.
The difficulty of conquering such a world and the potential benefits are almost negligible in the grand scheme of his plan.
His original plan was to give the coordinates and preliminary intelligence to the five benefactors and those hungry secondary forces, letting them fend for themselves, fight for territory, and compete for the ghouls' kagune and the so-called delicacies of the ghoul restaurants.
Chaldea only needs to collect information fees and resource sharing, and incidentally use their actions to conquer the world.
"Consider it an appetizer and a training ground for them."
Genichi Hanyu made the final decision and was preparing to issue the order to Haruno Yukinoshita for further arrangements.
"boom!"
The heavy alloy door of the command center was actually pushed open from the outside!
The impact on the doorstop produced a dull thud.
Genichi Hanyu frowned slightly and looked up.
There are very few people who would dare to barge into his office like this at Chaldea headquarters.
Yukino Yukinoshita's figure appeared against the light of the corridor at the entrance.
She was wearing the school's dark uniform, and her long, black hair seemed slightly disheveled from walking, with a few strands sticking to her smooth forehead.
Her chest rose and fell slightly, clearly indicating that she had walked or even jogged all the way.
But what's most striking is her expression at that moment.
Those eyes, which were always as clear and cold as a frozen pool, were now burning with an extremely complex flame—a flame of dissatisfaction, stubbornness, unquestionable determination, and even a hint of being ignored.
Her fair cheeks flushed slightly with emotion, her cherry lips were tightly pressed together, and her gaze, like two cold searchlights, instantly locked onto Genichi Hanyu in the seat.
Yukino Yukinoshita walked straight to Genichi Hanyu's desk, placed her hands on the cold alloy surface, leaned forward slightly, and stared intently at Genichi Hanyu with her fiery eyes, declaring clearly and deliberately, "This time, I'm going too!"
"..."
The air seemed to freeze.
As Genichi Hanyu looked at the small face so close to his, filled with stubbornness and unquestionable conviction, a huge, tangible question mark seemed to slowly emerge above his head.
He blinked, making sure he hadn't misheard, and his face showed genuine confusion and astonishment: "Where are you going, Yukino?"
He pointed to the world map projection on the screen in front of Jiuling Temple, marked with "Tokyo-24," "Ghoul Countermeasures Bureau," and "Aogiri Tree," his tone filled with disbelief: "Go to that world where bullets can't even stop you, where all you do is eat human flesh, and where the social hierarchy is pitifully low? What are you going to do there?"
Yukino Yukinoshita did not answer his question. She simply maintained the posture of supporting herself on the table with her hands and leaning forward, her fiery eyes still fixed on Genichi Hanyu, her red lips pressed even tighter, and the lines of her jaw taut like a fully drawn bowstring.
That look seemed to say: I'm going! Why? I don't need to explain!
This is a silent confrontation, yet more forceful than any words!
Genichi Hanyu was both amused and exasperated by her stubbornness and her tendency to only express her demands without explaining her reasons.
He tried to ease the tension, softening his voice: "Yukino, listen to me."
He tried to reason with them.
"That world is really chaotic and dangerous. Although individual ghouls are generally not very strong, there are quite a few of them. Moreover, it is a modern world with guns, so you can't protect yourself."
"I won't listen!"
Yukino Yukinoshita abruptly interrupted him!
The sound was crisp and loud, with an almost childlike stubbornness and willfulness!
Those three words were like a resounding verdict, instantly blocking all avenues for Genichi Hanyu to explain or persuade!
"..."
Genichi Hanyu was utterly speechless. He opened his mouth, looking at Yukino Yukinoshita's stubborn little face, and for the first time in his life, he felt a true sense of powerlessness at the negotiating table.
When did this girl become so unreasonable?
He sighed helplessly, leaned back in his chair, rubbed his throbbing temples, and decided to try a different approach:
"Fine, even if you don't want to hear the reasons."
Genichi Hanyu shrugged, his tone tinged with a self-deprecating honesty.
"But Yukino, you at least have to tell me why you insist on going. There has to be a motive. Is it sightseeing? To experience the customs and culture of another world? Or do you want to observe how ghouls eat people up close?"
His words carried a hint of self-deprecating humor, trying to pry her open up: "Besides, I didn't even plan to go there myself this time. I intend to leave the conquest of that world entirely to the Five Great Benefactors and all the countries in the world to handle, let them fight, scramble, and bleed on their own. Chaldea just needs to sit back and reap the benefits. Why are you going to meddle and watch them fight like dogs?"
When Yukino Yukinoshita heard that Genichi Hanyu didn't even intend to go himself, but instead just dumped the world on others like garbage, the flame in her eyes seemed to flicker for a moment, but it was quickly covered by a deeper stubbornness.
She remained silent, but her tightly pursed lips and slightly heaving chest betrayed that she was not at peace.
She couldn't tell Genichi Hanyu what the intense unease and sense of being excluded she felt was when she learned that he was leaving again for an unknown world.
She couldn't explain why he always seemed to be traveling alone through different worlds, wielding unimaginable power, while she could only live and go to school in this ordinary world, as if she could never reach the level he was on.
This realization made her feel an indescribable anxiety.
She wanted to see what the world looked like through his eyes.
Even if that world is dangerous and chaotic.
She wanted to prove that she wasn't just a protected, insignificant bystander!
This impulse reached its peak the moment she saw the briefing about the Tokyo Ghoul world!
But how could someone as proud as her possibly say such things?
Therefore, she could only remain silent and express her unwavering determination with the most stubborn attitude.
Seeing Yukino Yukinoshita's silent resistance, yet also revealing a stubbornness that seemed to be a desperate gamble, Genichi Hanyu felt even more helpless.
He knew that with Yukino's personality, once she made up her mind, nothing could change it.
Forcibly stopping it will only backfire.
