Editing of famous scenes from the anime, including the opening of the Starburst Air Strike

My body is about to reach its limit...

The occasional crackling sounds from the bones in the body accelerated the battle between the two sides, and the battle was on the verge of collapse.

However, the pain of broken bones was just like a tickle to Kaneki.

The gecko's speed gradually slowed down.

In his eyes, the monster in front of him, this guy called Gecko, must die.

Without strength, nothing can be done.

Tenderness... is meaningless...

Waste.... is what should be separated...

Chapter 9 Kaneki Ken's Determination

In the Infinite City, two maids were waving huge palm-leaf fans.

Sitting in the middle was Wuzan, who looked like a noble lady.

Muzan closed his eyes and sat quietly as if enjoying the joy of victory.

"Kuroshibo, what do you think of this so-called high-energy inventory?"

When Kokushibo heard this question, he was obviously stunned. He did not expect that Lord Muzan, who had always been indifferent to anything except things that could kill him, would actually care about such things.

"It seems that Master Muzan is very concerned about this matter."

The only response from Kokushibo was a cold smile.

Kokushibo stopped asking questions and held his chin with one hand, lost in thought.

"From the perspective of our ghost camp, it's quite exciting to discover that there are ghosts in other worlds."

"but...."

Muzan's tightly closed eyes opened instantly, and a playful smile appeared on his face.

"Yo? But what?"

"But this ghost from some unknown world is inexplicably too weak. He screamed in pain after being pricked twice by the so-called tail-like thing. It's really embarrassing."

Muzan laughed, and his laughter was very wild. The laughter instantly covered the entire Infinite City, which made Kokushibo feel terrified.

"Kokushibo, interesting! Interesting! Then tell me how we are stronger than them."

Kokushibo realized Muzan's intention in an instant...

"By being strong, of course I mean the body, the mind, the fighting ability, etc."

"No matter which aspect we compare, we have a crushing advantage."

Muzan nodded with satisfaction. He was very confident in his own strength. Besides, all the ghosts under his command relied on him directly or indirectly for transmission.

It makes absolute sense to call himself the King of Ghosts, and those other ghosts or ghost-like creatures in other worlds should be under his rule.

Wuzan, thinking so, slowly fell into his own fantasy.

"But......"

"But what..."

Muzan was pulled out of his joyful fantasy. He would not allow anyone to hear anything bad about himself. Even his strongest subordinate, Upper Rank One Kokushibo, did not have such full strength.

The veins on Muzan’s forehead bulged and he stared at Kokushibo fiercely.

Kokushibo seemed to ignore Muzan, turned his head and looked into the distance, with an expression that could not be concealed on his face.

"No matter how many years we live, even if we are the strongest ghosts, we must stay huddled on the ground until night falls."

"We have endured this kind of life for too long. We...need true freedom and true eternal life, no matter when or where."

Seeing that Kokushibo was so serious, Muzan slowly calmed down and looked at the distance where Kokushibo was looking.

"It's almost there! We will be able to make this wish come true soon!"

"Nezuko, that girl is simply a miracle. She is the first ghost that can resist sunlight. After I devour her, we will be able to live under the sun in the future."

"Since there is no one like Tsugikoku Yoriichi in this world, there is nothing that can stop us."

Muzan couldn't help but laugh. After living for thousands of years, he was finally going to see the sun. It was really exciting.

"Tsugikoku Yuichi, hahahahahahahaha this is such a joke. After all, I was the winner in the end."

Now, no one can stop him. He is a ghost, the only ghost king.

But Tsugumi Yuichiro is just a human being, and will turn into ashes as time passes.

Muzan, who was still laughing wildly, felt that Upper Rank 3 had started to move again.

It looks like the Demon Slayer Corps will suffer a lot of casualties again. Which pillar will die this time?

This time, Wu Can laughed even louder.

...................................

After the video ended, people from all over the world started talking about it. Some were comparing their fighting strength, some felt sorry for Kaneki Ken, and some were looking forward to the next inventory.

but....

Although the video has ended, the world continues to move.

The short-haired woman ran towards the overpass at a lightning speed, leaving only a purple flash among the crowd.

At this moment, the person she had been thinking about could finally meet her.

I don’t know if it was because of the strong wind or other reasons, but two tears fell from the corners of Dong Xiang’s eyes from time to time.

People who are so familiar to each other that they can't be more familiar, finally meet again at this moment.

Dong Xiang was about to speak, but after seeing the man in front of her, she was unable to speak for a moment.

I don't know when, the corners of my eyes had already turned red.

The man still kept his head down, and even though he was carefully avoiding Dong Xiang's gaze, he still bumped into her inadvertently.

"Touka...Touka are you okay?"

Touka seemed to be shocked by something, and avoided Kaneki's gaze for a moment, holding her left hand with her right hand and stammering:

"I'm fine...how about you?"

Kaneki scratched his face, then nodded silently.

The two of them just stood there on the overpass in a daze.

Cars are flowing under the overpass...

The wind blew their hair slightly...

The setting sun fell on their faces...

Like, silent longing, quietly looking at each other...

Only time is flowing slowly...

Finally, after some time...

Touka walked towards Kaneki step by step, and Kaneki looked at Touka in front of him, and at this moment, he decided not to retreat.

When they were an arm's length apart, Dong Xiang stopped.

"I talked to the store manager... He told me to come back to Anding District..."

"Then what?"

Kaneki avoided Touka's sight and slowly looked into the distance.

"It's so nice here... We have a peaceful life..."

"Although ghouls and humans still cannot live together, I have the best friend, the best teacher, and the person I love the most."

Dong Xiang's face turned red as if she had drunk alcohol.

Kaneki didn't stop because of Touka's shyness, but continued speaking.

"As a ghoul, being able to live in a stable area is the greatest happiness."

"Then who are you?"

"You will come back right...Kaneki..."

There was no change in the expression on Kaneki's face. Under Touka's gaze, Kaneki sighed.

"I want to... protect everyone."

"Protect the place where we once lived... This is where my best memories are."

"........................"

When Dong Xiang heard this, her brain stopped working for a moment and she was stunned for a long time.

"what?"

Chapter 10: Leaving for better protection

"You mean? You're going to do what you did last time..."

Memories come back sharply, and it is hard to let go...

At that time, Touka didn't know what Kaneki had experienced. After getting rid of the gecko, the two finally reunited.

When Dong Xiang thought everything was over, she never thought that it was the beginning of separation...

"You, go back to the store and take care of your gray hair."

"If I work in the store like this, I'll be too conspicuous... I definitely can't do that."

The heavy snow covered Kaneki's eyes.

The difference from before is that Kaneki has now undergone inhuman torture and turned into a real ghoul.

The unchanged expression made Dongxiang feel something was wrong.

"Touka..."

"I won't go back to Anding District..."

Dong Xiang lost her mind for a moment..

She didn't understand what Kaneki meant by this.

"I want to join...the Bronze Tree..."

Kaneki turned and left, leaving Touka behind in the heavy snow, still chasing closely.

Now...

She understands..she understands everything...

She knew about his departure and the reason for his departure.

Kaneki no longer hides his past experiences. Since Touka already knows about them, there is no need for him to hide them.

"I want to... protect everyone."

"I don't want to see my important people being taken away..."

Kaneki's eyes became more determined, he looked at his hands and broke them hard.

"So...I had to get stronger."

Dong Xiang paused. What reason could she have to persuade him to come back now?

"So, this is why you joined the Bronze Tree?"

Touka looked at Kaneki in front of her and didn't know what to say for a moment, so she had to ask Kaneki something that anyone with a discerning eye would know.

Rather, she wanted to hear Kaneki admit it himself.

Kaneki nodded slowly.

"Why? Kaneki Ken, there is no reason for me to be protected by you."
