Live Survival, but Start with Attack on Titan

Even Shinohara, who was speaking, felt that his statement was too "official" and had an attitude of "no comment", so he quickly changed his words and gave a reason that he himself did not understand.

As a special class, he is indeed only on the front line of the battle. He knows how to kill ghouls and can create ghouls...

"The answer is 'I don't know'."

Then he wrote down his answer in a small notebook, and Takatsuki Izumi had no intention of asking any further questions.

"And I don't think it makes sense to create such a dangerous ghoul..."

Having vaguely realized something, Shinohara's eyes looked a little absent-minded...

"I see."

The glasses reflected a little, and the novelist closed the book.

"Is this your only problem?"

"No... Actually, there are two very simple questions."

"What's your name?"

Turning his head to look at the restless Suzuya, Takatsuki Izumi's smile just happened to poke the boy's deepest past...

[Suzuya Rei...is Suzuya Juzo's real name]

[Kafka's Good Boy: That was the name once given to him by a ghoul. Poor little Suzuya later split into two personalities, 'Ring' and 'Juzou'...]

[Great Onmyoji: Although they are both little lunatics, Ling is more naive, while Shizou is more bloodthirsty. Usually, it is Shizou who protects Ling...]

[The most entertaining person on earth: Because she wanted to join the CCG, she finally abandoned her past and changed her name to Suzuya Juuzou. This woman is really amazing. She only asks about problematic issues...]

"Don't mind, don't be afraid..."

Patting the little guy's shoulder, An He's tone was very gentle.

"...Well~"

Shrugging his shoulders to show that he didn't care, the novelist flicked the pen at his fingertips and drank the coffee in front of him. He obviously gave up asking for the answer to the question.

"do you know?"

"In District 20, there is a cafe with a strange rumor..."

......

"...What..."

After hearing Takatsuki Izumi's 'rumor', Shinohara's eyes widened slightly.

[Crouching Dragon and Phoenix: I won’t stop until I say something shocking]

[The violent argumentative team leader: Damn, this woman has already said everything. There is no spoiler for us guys]

"I see... Thank you for your information, but you have one last question..."

"Yeah, that's right, but I don't need an answer now..."

Standing up from his seat, Takatsuki Izumi smiled slightly:

"Mr. Zheng Anhe."

"Why did you like and often go to the Antique Cafe before, but stop going there now?"

"Also, how do you determine if a person is a ghoul?"

Giving a long smile, Takatsuki Izumi bowed slightly:

"But this question is too private. I think it may involve confidential information~~"

"Then, goodbye~~"

The novelist waved his hand and left, confessing his sins and walking away...

Leaving behind the solemn-looking special investigator...

......

Chapter 55: Hurrying Footsteps

Why... does Investigator Jung An-ha often go to that 'antique' cafe?

As if it was the first day he met this comrade-in-arms who had fought alongside him, Shinohara turned his head solemnly and looked at the boy with an indifferent expression.

If the lady's information is correct...

'Antique', most likely...

It's a...

“Because the coffee there is delicious, what’s the problem…”

Looking at Miss Takatsuki Izumi walking out of the ghoul detection door without any obstacles, and waving towards her seat with a smile on her face...Anhe's expression was really hard to look good.

If I rush over and chop her at this time, Shinohara will come over and pull me back...

There are still ghouls in CCG... If I really charge in... I don't know if I can win...

But you don't have to endure it for much longer.

"Hmm...see you soon..."

Miss One-Eyed Owl...

"tastes good?"

After confirming that the novelist with the strange source of information had left, the doubt in Shinohara's eyes disappeared for the most part, and he immediately felt relieved.

"Yes, if you try it, you will understand why I like going to that cafe."

"Is there no other reason? For example, maybe you found traces of ghouls?"

"Maybe... I went there more often because I wasn't sure about the news, but I can't find any fault with it... I have no evidence."

As an investigator, should I directly attack "ordinary people" without any evidence?

"That's it..."

It is impossible for Shinohara to start doubting his comrades-in-arms who had entrusted their lives to each other just because of a few words from an outsider.

It's just that he feels really strange about that woman...

However, since the other party was able to pass through the detection gate smoothly, he must be at least a human being without a doubt.

"In that case, Anhe thinks it's still necessary to go and look at antiques."

That Kaneki Ken who had his organs transplanted in the accident...actually worked part-time at 'Antiques' -

Moreover, it happened right after the accident!

The time of disappearance is exactly the same as the time of appearance of the 'eye mask'!

The intelligence that had been searched and the current intelligence were completely consistent. No matter how much Xiaoyuan didn't want to believe it, he had to accept the terrible truth...

A human being was transplanted with the organs of a ghoul and turned into a man-eating monster... and joined the bronze tree...

"You already have a plan, right? Just follow your judgment. I support you no matter what."

An He had already prepared for the battle and had known that this day would come.

"My sword is at your disposal, Mr. Shinohara."

"what..."

What a reliable guy.

With a knowing smile, Shinohara understood everything very well.

The person in front of them will definitely stand on their side!

......

【Don't you want to go to Anhe to look at antiques? 】

[Let's say a final goodbye or something~]

"No need for that. If I go over there again, I'm afraid I'll be considered a target of suspicion."

If it weren't for his previous loyalty in CCG, his risking his life and dedication... Anhe might have been kicked aside by that woman's words and would not have been able to join the team in the third battle against the Owl Expelling.

This time the lineup is unprecedentedly luxurious...

But at the same time, the rules became more and more strict, and investigators with "suspicions" would never be allowed to join.

'But I'm still curious...how did that guy do it?'

[Kafka's good boy: What did Anbao say? ]

[Onmyoji: Taste, or pass the CCG detection gate? ]

'Taste...'

This is the strangest thing, isn't it?

If a one-eyed ghoul could possess the ability to eat 'human food', then all humans would have been transformed into 'one-eyed' beings long ago. This would be an absolute evolution!

But the reality is...

Kaneki, who was artificially transformed into a 'one-eyed' being, collapsed because he had to eat humans. He went crazy for a while and even saw the darkest side of the world.

'One-eyed owl', she should also have one eye, but why can she...

[Oops, you hit my blind spot]

[I don't remember, but Fangcun Ate can actually eat human food? ]

[That’s awesome, but I’m not a fan of the setting, and I haven’t read the comics, so I don’t know...]

[Crouching Dragon and Phoenix: Because the One-Eye is divided into two categories: Half-Human and Half-Ghoul...]

This is indeed a rather obscure setting in the original drama. If you haven't understood it, it's not surprising that other viewers are not clear about it.

[Crouching Dragon and Phoenix: All ghouls can drink coffee, but ghouls cannot eat human food]

[Also, the 'half-humans' who were originally humans but had ghoul organs implanted into them, this type of one-eyed ghoul who was born human, cannot eat human food after the transformation.]

[But, if it is a hybrid of a human and a ghoul...]

[Those who were born as ghouls but have human blood - 'half-ghouls']

[They are natural darlings, they can accept ghouls' food and have the taste that humans should have]

[And... the power is extremely strong, this is the original meaning of 'One Eye']

[The transformed 'half-human' is nothing more than a poor imitation of the 'half-ghoul']

[The reason why the 24th District was abandoned was because of the appearance of the 'One-Eyed King', the strongest ghoul who was truly terrifying and powerful]

[However, the original novel rarely mentions this part, so he has died underground, that is, the 'One-eyed King' of Area 24. This setting has little to do with the plot.]

That's right.

Kaneki is nothing more than a fake 'One-Eye' created by a madman who pursues the power of 'One-Eye'.

The power and omnipotence represented by the one-eyed creature...are actually all in the body of the store manager's daughter.

The real 'half-ghoul' 'one-eyed' - Yoshimura Ate...

"If that's the case, why haven't ghouls bonded with humans long ago?"

Possessing the abilities of a ghoul, but able to eat normal food...

This is simply superhuman!!!

[The most entertaining person on earth: Because I can’t do it. 】

Why do we need transformed 'half-humans' to chase the possibility of 'one-eyes'?

Because natural born 'half-ghouls', that is, terrifying beings born with 'one eye' - are extremely rare.

Or, just saying 'no' wouldn't be too wrong.

Apart from the 'One-Eyed King' who had died, there was probably only one true 'One-Eyed' in the entire history of ghouls, namely Yoshimura Eto.

Other so-called 'half-ghouls' born from mixed blood either died young or behaved strangely like 'half-humans' and were unable to truly accept human food. They possessed the powers of 'half-ghouls' and might even lack the Kagamine and Kagome.

It seems as if 'half-ghouls' are precious beings that are obtained through mutation, and are lucky individuals that can only be obtained through mixed blood under very rare circumstances.
