MTL - Ghoul’s Infinite Journey-Chapter 10 Wuyue's Theory of Happiness.

The sunset and the moon rise, time always passes quickly inadvertently.

For the past two days, Shinjuku, District 4, which has caused headaches for human forces, has reduced the frequency of ghoul predation events at a strange and rapid rate. Although there are always corpses found from time to time in some corners that no one cares about, of course, what reassures humans and investigators is that those corpses belong to the ghouls.

District 1, CCG Bureau.

"Marute, what's your opinion on this report?"

An old man with white hair and a white beard, but with high spirits and eyes like a knife, picked up a document report, glanced at it, and then handed it to the respectful middle-aged man beside him.

"Yes."

CCG Headquarters Special Investigator, Marute Sai immediately took a step forward, held the document in both hands, and then slowly opened it, but just glanced at it a little, and his brows wrinkled, just like the middle-aged wretched and idiotic protagonist in the H game. There was a hint of caution on his face that didn't match his appearance at all.

"Chief Hexiu! Is this report true? District 4... How low is the ghoul attack?"

"Usually speaking, there will be at least ten times the number of victims."

"Could it be that the ghouls did something?"

Surprisingly, there was a slightly upright voice under the vulgar appearance.

On the other side, on the human side, the chairman of the Tokyo Ghoul Countermeasure Bureau (CCG), the ghoul's nemesis, and Xiushang Jixu narrowed their eyes like eagles, did not speak, but took out another report, from the placement Judging from the location and cover, it is obvious that I have only read it not long ago.

"this is?"

"...How could such a thing happen? A large number of dead ghouls were found?"

"This cruel thing happened in District 4? If there are corpses left, then it can't be caused by mutual cannibalism. Did the battle for supremacy broke out in District 4? No, it's impossible, the ghouls act on a large scale, absolutely There is no way to escape the control of the investigators. After all, it is the 4th area under strict surveillance. Moreover, there is no trace of the attacker Hezi left at the scene.”

"Is it a powerful ghoul that acts unscrupulously...or..."

Marute Sai, who calmly analyzed the information in his hand, suddenly had an extremely incredible expression on his face.

"Marute.. the rumors of the absurd 'ghoul hunter' in District 13... the strange events that happened in District 4.. and the information from the captured ghouls... everything... everything Doubts are connected."

While stroking the treasured sword placed beside the seat, Kazu Changji's old and determined face showed a serious aura.

"Marute Premium Seat! Send additional staff to Shinjuku City! Investigate all the information on the 'ghoul hunter'! If it is confirmed to be human! Be sure to add it to the CCG headquarters! If it is a ghoul...then...kill it immediately !"

"Yes."

A cautious and loud voice resounded in the office of the Chief Speaker.

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

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

"Jingle bell...Jingle bell..."

The sound of wind chimes brought a touch of coolness to the slightly hot air.

The door of HySyArtMaskStudio was pushed open by Wu Yue.

"Oh, Mr. Bai is very leisurely."

Seeing the man sitting on a stool in a bored daze, Wu Yue smiled and said as if visiting a friend.

"It's a strange guest. The guest still smells of blood."

Bai didn't want to greet Wu Yue with enthusiasm like when they met for the first time, but sat there motionless.

The two people are very close, but it seems that there is a long invisible wall that divides the whole world.

The indifferent words were not mixed with other emotions, only the deep cold like ice, the smile on Wu Yue's face gradually faded away, and she put on an unpredictable tone: "Yes, after all, he is the overlord of District 4, As for Mr. Chan. Of course it will be discovered."

"The 'ghoul hunter' in District 13... When I first heard the news, I thought it was just a joke."

"Humans can defeat or even kill ghouls with their own strength without using Quinque."

"Such a thing... has never happened before."

Bai's voice came slowly, he turned his head, and a pair of scarlet eyes stared at Wu Yue.

"Can you tell me? Guest, why are you hunting ghouls.... Although it may be funny, this is a strange question. Is it because the ghouls eat humans?"

This is indeed a strange and ridiculous question. The ghouls feed on humans and cannot survive without eating humans. It can be said that every ghoul has human blood on its hands, without exception.

Even in infancy, you need to rely on human flesh and blood to grow.

Such creatures... are the object of hatred by almost all human beings, and the relationship between the two is like water and fire, incompatible.

Hunting and revenge, dead humans and ghouls... have accumulated countless hatreds for both.

The opposition of races, the mortal enemy on the biological chain, and all the bad adjectives can be used to describe the relationship between humans and ghouls.

The ghouls hunt humans for almost no reason, because the other party is food.

Humans don't need any reason to kill ghouls, because the other party is a natural enemy.

To ask why humans hunt ghouls is a stupid thing, no doubt.

But hearing Bai's question, Wu Yue smiled again, with an admiring smile.

"No... not that stupid answer."

The soft voice seemed to have magic power, Bai's eyes widened, and there were doubts and complicated emotions in He's eyes.

"Natural enemies? Feud? Food? These reasons have nothing to do with me. I have no relatives killed by the ghouls, nor do I have any hatred for the ghouls, and the weak ghouls do not have the strength to treat me as food."

"So, it's not because the ghoul's food is human, I will kill them."

"On the contrary, because the food of ghouls can only be humans, I feel a little sympathetic to them... Obviously they have the same appearance as humans, obviously they have the same emotions as humans... They will be happy, angry, and sad. ..Such a species...obviously similar to humans...but what can be eaten can only be humans...this point...it's really sad."

"In order to survive...you can only be forced to hunt...forced to eat creatures that look similar to yourself...in order to survive...you can only close the emotions that you are born with that are the same as humans... .Let oneself be able to walk in the sea of ​​corpses and blood with peace of mind...and go farther and farther...I can't turn back...In order to survive...I can only let myself accept from the bottom of my heart that creatures so close to me are food. A so-called 'truth'."

"The so-called ghouls...not hunters...just poor worms!"

"So....I don't hate ghouls, and I won't kill them at will."

"And the reason for killing them...Although part of it is because of the unbridled greedy eyes that treat me as food..."

"But more importantly... I'm, very, hungry, ah!"

The pupils, which were intertwined with darkness and blood, opened, glowing with hunger and ferocious light.

"In order to prevent myself from hunting humans... I can only use the blood of those nasty guys who treat me as food to suppress it a little."

"And even so, I didn't deliberately look for ghouls to kill, just to get rid of those guys who used me as food, although there may be a bit large, but I can only blame the ghouls in District 4 for being too many. Well...I think it's because my actions...are reasonable self-defense...as the overlord, Mr. Bai didn't take action directly, and asked such a stupid question?"

Wu Yue spoke lightly, her magnetic voice was sometimes soft, sometimes heavy, sometimes sad, and sometimes crazy.

Looking at Wu Yue, who showed his splendid eyes, it was the first time that Bai showed the idea of ​​surprise on her face vividly.

The emotion of being too shocked made Bai involuntarily want to reach out and touch the most special and impressive Heyan that he had seen countless times before.

"Yes, it's a stupid question... However, I didn't expect it to be a ghoul... The real Heyan... The smell... is different."

Without real contact, Bai's hand lay in front of Wu Yue, whispering softly... His expression gradually calmed down.

"It's not just that..."

Wu Yue smiled...and suddenly walked to the counter...and picked up a piece of cake on the plate.

Under the gaze of Bai's pupils shrinking slightly, he actually ate it directly and chewed it carefully.

Ghoul... can't eat human food.

Because of this, ghouls living in human society will always have human food on display to confuse their identities. When necessary, they can swallow them to ensure that their identities are not exposed. Of course.. Don't say that taste. .. it must be spit out afterwards.

And Wu Yue... didn't spit it out...

"My life..........."

"Bah ah..."

"I see... Mr. chan... although... the taste... woo... a bit unbearable... but, I can... eat... and digest... "

Looking at Wu Yue, who had tears in the corners of her eyes... but still trying to smile on her distorted face...

Bai's heart seemed to have something to come out... But in the end, he took out a bottle of mineral water with a blank face...

"Please rinse your mouth..."

Obviously it is a tone without ups and downs, but it can clearly express a sense of empathy.

"It's amazing...I really ate it."

Bai sighed, with his strength, of course, it can be seen that this is not the ghouls pretending to swallow... but eating like humans.

Of course, the most surprising thing is that after eating it, there is no overreaction on the body, just the taste seems to be very different from that of humans.

"Huh..." Wu Yue took the mineral water and poured it hard to get rid of the weird taste in her mouth. With the expression of the rest of her life, she let out a sigh of relief.

"Now, Mr. Bai.. You know my identity too... It's not just a ghoul... A ghoul that can eat human food is not a ghoul."

"Yes...it's very special..."

"So, I don't hate ghouls... I am both human... and ghoul... neither human... nor ghoul, do you want to know my dream?"

Wu Yue sent a question, looked at the suspicious and cute look, without waiting for an answer, suddenly raised her hands, with a child's longing and yearning for dreams, and it seemed that the seeker saw the truth he was looking for. gradually enlarge.

"It's building a new world!"

"A new world where humans and ghouls can live in harmony!"

"Let the ghouls be able to live in the sunshine with integrity! Let the human beings and the ghouls, the creatures of the same species, let go of each other's hatred! Live together! There will be no more fighting between the two... no more A new tragedy...to completely change this twisted world!"

"And all of this, only me...only me, who is both human...with the breath of a human...and a ghoul...has a ghoul...but not restricted by the characteristics of the two A ghoul that can eat human food! It can do such a thing!"

"Mr. chan... imagine... if you are like me, you can eat human food... although it tastes unpalatable... you who have a longing for human beings... will continue to choose there Continue to move forward in the sea of ​​blood?"

"I can feel oh... the first meeting... your heart is beating, the joy of seeing human guests from the heart... Hidden in human society.. Normal communication with humans, not as food and predators... but as a customer and a mask maker, you do this because you want to be like humans!"

"And I am the opportunity to realize all the wishes of the pacifist ghouls! It is the redemption of all the ghouls who don't want to continue to fall on the corpses of human beings! When the ghouls don't have to eat humans anymore! The ghouls will not Feared by humans! The most basic, most important, and most difficult condition for peaceful coexistence between humans and ghouls! As long as I use my genes! It can be overcome!"

"At that time! This dream will see the dawn of hope!"

"So, for this extravagant hope! I want to become stronger, stronger than any human, stronger than any ghoul! I want to become the king of the world! Let the world become normal again!!"

"However.. a person is useless no matter how strong he is, so I need followers.. help me realize this wish.."

"Mr. Chan... who are eager to communicate with humans... will you join me?"

Those dull and hopeful eyes stared at someone who could no longer hide his shock...

That seductive voice seems to be directly embedded in people's hearts and resonate.

Time... as if at a moment, it stopped moving forward.
