In the anime, their emotions can be combined into strange props

The investigator's achievements include: single-handedly destroying a ghoul stronghold in the Bronze Tree, killing more than 40 ghouls in it, and killing the notorious S-rank ghoul "Gecko".

It’s a continuation of the previous copy, which is normal.

Xia Yan nodded in understanding. Investigators usually work in groups of two. Basically, a senior investigator guides a newer junior investigator to carry out missions together.

This also fits with the current situation where he and Yukinoshita are a pair, with the old leading the new.

Afterwards, Xia Yan checked the tasks assigned to the two of them by CCG and found that they were sent here on the grounds of "going to District 20 for support and assisting the local branch in investigating the Bronze Tree Ghoul Organization that has been overly active in the four districts of 18.19.20.21, , , and recently."

At this moment, Xuexia, who had calmed down and regained her usual calm expression, pressed the button on the metal box in her hand.

"Chi~"

The Quinque popped out, and Xia Yan looked back with a little curiosity, and found that the Quinque in Yukinoshita's hand was a simple metallic silver-white in color. It looked like a slender flashlight, and a bit like the handle of a lightsaber in Jedi Knight.

Oh, it seemed that her Quinque was thoughtful enough to come with an instruction manual. At this moment, Yukinoshita was looking at the manual while pressing a button on the handle of the Quinque with her other hand.

In an instant, golden-red light particles suddenly gushed out from the hollow front end of Quinque, eventually extending to form a golden-red whip about four meters long that hung down to the ground.

"It says that pressing the button will create a Yuhe whip of light. Besides that, it seems to have another function..."

Yukinoshita stared at the manual in her hand and explained it to Xia Yan. At the same time, her right wrist, which was holding the light whip Quinque, accidentally shook a little...

"Snapped!"

Xia Yan's mouth twitched and he tilted his head slightly. A whip of light almost brushed past his ear.

Yukinoshita also looked over and saw a whip mark on the hotel wall behind Xia Yan. The two looked at each other, speechless for a moment.

"Forget it, I think you should not try it yet. I will see if I can find you a teacher who can teach you how to use this weapon."

As Xia Yan spoke, he turned around and fiddled with his computer, as if looking for someone. At the same time, he casually asked, "Oh, by the way, Yukinoshita, have you encountered anything strange recently?"

"Hmm~"

Yukinoshita pondered, and Xia Yan couldn't help but have an idea as he watched. It looked like it really was true.

And his intuition told him that the strange thing that Yukinoshita encountered was probably the reason why she suddenly entered the Tokyo Ghoul world for no reason.

"I don't know if this is strange, but a few days ago, I discovered..."

Yukinoshita put away the Quinque and walked towards the table where Xia Yan was. Then she picked up the kettle brought by the hotel and poured a glass of water into a glass on the table, and her bare hands held the glass.

After a few seconds, when she withdrew her right hand, she saw a few pieces of ice floating in the glass. "I don't know why, but I suddenly found myself possessing a bit of icy power."

"But as you can see, this ability is very weak..."

At this moment, Yukinoshita's voice seemed to be fading away. Xia Yan's pupils were fixed on the floating ice in the cup. Suddenly, a sense of realization arose in his heart, and he subconsciously opened the system warehouse.

Hex Skill: Snowball (White)

Equipment: Snow Ghost (White)

Item: Snow Woman's Cursed Ring (Blue)

Hex Skills: Ice Armor (Blue)

So...it was all prepared for her.

He seemed to have grasped the essence of the system.

Chapter 64: Antique Cafe

After the fragments are synthesized into props, feedback will be given to the owner of the fragments!

This was the first thought that flashed through Xia Yan's mind after he saw the abilities displayed by Yukinoshita.

After all, the theme of the Yukinoshita fragment label is "ice and snow", and the ability she suddenly and inexplicably obtained is also of the ice type. How could such a coincidence happen in the world?

If she can only be said to be an isolated case and is not enough to prove the truth, then what about Shizuka Hiratsuka?

Xia Yan recalled the scenes of fighting with the female teacher almost every day. It turned out that it was not his illusion. Since the theme of the fragment was "fighting", did Teacher Jing's punching power and skills actually improve slightly every day?

Considering the ice and snow related props that were left at the bottom of the warehouse and gathering dust, all of them required ice and snow energy as a prerequisite.

So, could it be that the so-called fragment synthesis was originally intended to induce the abilities of these "protagonists", and that these synthesized props were originally prepared specifically for them...

No, it shouldn't be that bad yet.

Xia Yan held his mouth and thought. Judging from the fact that he could handle these props without any restrictions, the system's original intention could only be said to be more inclined to cultivate these protagonists, and the decision was still in his hands.

Then, after these protagonists' abilities are formed and they show their special abilities, there is a chance that they will be automatically pulled into the dungeon for trial training?

Although there is no evidence to prove this speculation, Xia Yan seems to have grasped the essence of the system's operation.

"Wow!"

Thinking of this, Xia Yan suddenly stood up and pushed the chair behind him away. He took his Hezhe Quinque box and the investigator's windbreaker and said to Yukinoshita beside him, "Yukinoshita, wait here for a while. I need to go outside to gather some information. Call me if you have anything."

"Ah."

Yukinoshita didn't ask him where he was going. She thought that he had been to this world before to carry out a mission, and might have some source of information that he could still contact.

So she just responded in a very normal way. After Xia Yan left in a vigorous manner, Yukinoshita sat in his original seat and opened the computer that he had closed.

……

……

District 20, antique coffee shop.

As an important landmark location in the original Tokyo Ghoul, this is a coffee shop on the surface, but in fact it is a mutual aid organization and social place for ghouls.

The coffee shop members, headed by the store manager Yoshimura Kousen, are all ghouls, and their philosophy is to allow ghouls to integrate into human society more peacefully and stably.

Despite their race, they still inevitably eat, but they will only feed on the corpses of suicides. They will also hide their identities in schools or other places and become friends with humans.

Here, at least the few ghouls who work in the coffee shop can be said to be the very few who can be called "friendly" to humans.

And today, this peaceful place welcomed an uninvited guest.

"Lingling~"

Amid the sounds of the doorbell and the door creaking open slowly, a figure wearing a white windbreaker and carrying a silver-white box appeared behind the door.

Before the people in the coffee shop could show their surprise, a sense of oppression as if it were real suddenly emanated from this person and pressed down on everyone in the coffee shop.

Xia Yan, who had practiced explosive aura and even had a circle of dents on the wooden floor beneath his feet, ignored the ordinary ghoul customers in the coffee shop and instead focused his attention on the ghouls in black and white waiter uniforms near the counter.

[SSS-rank ghoul, "The Unkillable Owl" Yoshimura Kousen, Strength: 4th Rank, White]

[SS-rank ghoul, "Crow" Shikata Renshi, Strength: Tier 3 Silver]

[SS-rank ghoul, "Demon Ape" Furuma Madoka, Strength: Level 3, Purple]

[SS-rank ghoul, "Black Dog" Irimi Xuan, Strength: Level 3, Purple]

[S-rank ghoul, "Rabbit" Kirishima Touka, Strength: Second Rank Silver]

Oh my god, it really feels like I have fallen into a pile of BOSSes.

Xia Yan found out that the hotel he was in was in District 20 and rushed over immediately. When he saw all the BOSSes, he couldn't help but snap his fingers.

Now his normal strength rating without armor is Rank 3 Blue, which can be said to be enough to crush S-rank ghouls, and can even defeat ordinary SS-rank ghouls.

Then I have to say here that the prototype of the design of the Hezhe Quinque synthesized by Xia Yan came from the ghoul girl Kirishima Touka who had short blue hair and long bangs covering the right half of her face... her father Kirishima Arata.

As a Hezer who hardly appeared in the main story and only lived in memories throughout, Kirishima Arata's presence can be said to be beyond imagination.

Captured alive by the CCG, his kagune was transformed into several full-body kagune armors [New], effectively providing several special investigators with the defensive capabilities lacking in the human body, while also significantly increasing the wearer's strength and speed.

This allows the investigators to truly possess the combat power to single-handedly kill SS-level ghouls and even reach the level of SSS-level ghouls.

It can be said that just by relying on his one-eat power, he has directly raised the combat power of the top human beings by a small level. He really...

All I can say is that no one from the ghoul side scolded him, and it was really thanks to the fact that he had a good daughter who was the "heroine".

Therefore, once Xia Yan puts on his modified Hezhe Quinque Armor, which is the same model as the [new] type armor, except for the store manager who is still a little weak, all the SS-level ghouls present will be scared!

Xia Yan also... was confident that he could fight to a draw, and even if the store manager took action, he would probably have no problem running away.

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

In the end, it was the store manager, Yoshimura Kousen, whose hair had turned white, who spoke first and calmly. He also used his eyes to stop the people around him, asking them to relax and not show hostility towards Xia Yan.

"I have no interest in herbivorous 'rabbits'."

Seeing this, Xia Yan also restrained his aura. He looked at the elegant environment of the coffee shop and walked in. "So, Manager, do you know about the bronze tree that has been very active around here recently?"

"Young man, why are you asking me this?"

"After all, we're all [Owls], so who else can I ask if I don't ask you?"

Xia Yan clutched the box tightly in his hand and sat down at the counter in a casual manner, tapping the wooden tabletop. "So, do you know what to order?"

"Damn, I'm sorry, I don't know what their purpose is." Yoshimura Gongshan squinted his eyes like an ordinary old man and wiped the coffee cup unmoved at the counter.

"As I said before, I have absolutely no interest in herbivorous animals, nor do I have any interest in saying anything out loud."

Xia Yan chuckled and emphasized again: "So I guess you won't let me go back empty-handed, right?"

"So what do you want to know?"

"Tsukiyama Xi, Tsukiyama family, ghoul restaurant." Xia Yan said a few names, then pointed at the table and said, "Location."

"Um……"

Fangcun Gongshan pondered for a moment, then instructed a silver-haired, stern-faced man beside him, who looked a bit vicissitudes of life, "Mr. Sifang, please go get something."

Chapter 65: Two Standpoints of the System

"This is what you want."

Fangcun Gongshan handed a brown file bag to Xia Yan and said as if to drive away a guest, "Please come in."

"Thank you so much... What a shame, I have other things to do. Otherwise, I would really like to taste the coffee you made."

Xia Yan took the document with a look of regret on his face. Unfortunately, the reason for not staying was not because of time issues, but because... his strength was still not strong enough.

He really didn't dare drink coffee in this dangerous coffee shop, so he just smiled politely and said to the store manager, "I will come again. Next time, I will just come here to taste the coffee you make."

"Oh, that's right."

Before leaving, Xia Yan was holding the door handle in front of the coffee shop. When he was about to close the door, he seemed to suddenly remember something and casually said to Kirishima Touka in the shop: "I saw a ghoul over at the Bronze Tree who looked a bit like you, with similar hair color, and a pair of beautiful golden-red wings. Speaking of which..."

Just as Kirishima Touka's eyes widened slightly, probably thinking of her younger brother Kirishima Ayado, Xia Yan added the following words: "I even twisted one of his arms and crushed his skull!"

“…You bastard!!!” When Kirishima Touka heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and then murderous intent burst out.

"boom!"

"Touka, calm down!"

Unfortunately, just when she wanted to release her kagune and rush over, Xia Yan had already closed the door of the coffee shop.

Next to Kirishima Touka, a lady named Xuan Irimi, who had long, straight black hair and gentle features, slipped her arms under her armpits and hugged her shoulders from behind, quickly stopping her and saying, "That guy is clearly trying to provoke you, Touka. Don't fall for such an obvious provocation!"

"But Xuandu..."

"Irami is right."

At this time, the store manager, Yoshimura Kozen, interrupted the excited Kirishima Touka. His tone seemed a little puzzled: "This White Pigeon Investigator has a very strange attitude. I'm a little confused about his purpose."

"Manager, let's just take the Yueshan family..."

Hearing this, the gentle Miss Irimi, who didn't dare to say that the store manager had betrayed the Yueshan family, still said gently with a hint of murderous intent in her eyes, "Do you want me to..."

"I don't know where he got his information from, but now that the Tsukiyama family has been completely exposed, it's useless for us to hide the location of the ghoul restaurant. You should first inform the Tsukiyama family of what happened here."

Yoshimura Kousen didn't answer her question directly, but simply repeated, "Go and inform the Tsukiyama family first."

The biggest impression that this young man from Baige gave to Yoshimura Kousen was that... he didn't seem to be completely in the same group with CCG?

The store manager is somewhat aware of how much hatred he holds in CCG. Once his identity is exposed, it will definitely not be just this young man who comes over.

However, this young man did not seem to reveal his identity and only wanted to kill other ghouls... Hmm?
