At this moment, information about the new world finally appeared before Su Xiao. [Entering World: Tokyo Ghoul]
World Difficulty: LV.3. Difficult (Difficulty lowered due to the strength of ordinary contractors.)
World Source: 0% (Hunting contractors can increase this by exploring or interacting with characters in the current world. When settling the world, it will be calculated together with the task difficulty to form a final score.)
World Description: In the chaotic modern society of Tokyo, there exists a type of man-eating monster known as ghouls. Ghouls look just like normal humans, but when their Rc cells become active, they exhibit red eyes. Ghouls maintain the activity of their Rc cells by consuming humans, and these Rc cells give them physical abilities far beyond those of ordinary people.
Main Task: Join CCG (Ghoul Investigators) or the ghoul faction (Aogiri Tree, Clowns). Subsequent tasks will activate after the hunter joins one of the factions.
Hunting Task: Eliminate the violator, Contractor No. 12470. The hunting function will automatically activate when the hunter enters within one kilometer of Contractor No. 12470.
Warning: Do not mention anything about 'Paradise' in this world. If the warning is ignored, there will be immediate execution!
Tip: The main task in this world is a chain task. After completing three main tasks, you can choose to return to the Reincarnation Paradise (the hunter must complete the hunting task). The more main tasks completed, the higher the overall evaluation.
Tip: It has been detected that the hunter does not understand the language of this world. You can automatically learn the language by consuming 100 Paradise Coins.
World, start!
...
Seeing that the difficulty was LV.3, Su Xiao let out a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his face.
Finally, it wasn't a life-threatening nightmare difficulty. He wouldn't feel as suffocated as he did in the Pirate World. Now, he just needed to assess the strength of the ghouls and CCG.
This was the first time Su Xiao received a chain main task, and of course, he chose CCG.
Joining the ghouls was a very bad choice. Not to mention his human identity, the ghouls' tendency to hide everywhere made them seem untrustworthy.
As for the hunting task, Su Xiao was completely in the dark about this unlucky Contractor No. 12470.
With no clues available, the hint from the Reincarnation Paradise was that he could track the target within one kilometer.
Fortunately, Tokyo wasn't very large, and a one-kilometer sensing range was enough.
Now, he just needed to complete the main task normally. The time limit for the main task was 48 hours, and the penalty for failure was a deduction of 13,000 Paradise Coins. If there weren't enough coins, equipment would be deducted, and if that still wasn't enough, he would just have to wait to die.
As for the hunting task, Su Xiao saw no penalties or time limits.
He felt that there might be other hidden details about the hunting task, perhaps the time just wasn't right.
A contractor who could end up on his hunting list was definitely not a law-abiding person. It wouldn't be long before the target would jump out and make trouble, so he wasn't in a hurry at all.
"Tap, tap, tap..."
Footsteps echoed from the distant corridor as a burly man wearing a mask stepped out of the darkness.
"It seems the title of 'Great Ghoul' is well-deserved."
The man was dressed in a white suit and wore a white mask with air holes at the mouth and nose. As he approached, he pressed his thumb against his index finger, making a sharp cracking sound.
The woman, Ri Sei, stopped eating and looked somewhat displeased.
"I hate being interrupted while eating..."
The two began to talk, and the air was thick with tension, indicating a potential fight.
"This is bad, Lord Han Yu. What should we do? Two S-rank ghouls, and Ri Sei is between S and SS rank."
The many contractors felt a chill in their hearts. They had never encountered such a situation before; the Reincarnation Paradise actually transported them right in front of two S-rank ghouls.
"Once the shield disappears, we escape immediately. Our lives depend on luck now."
Han Yu had lost his previous calmness and tightly gripped his staff.
There was less than a minute left until the shield disappeared, and once it was gone, it could mean their doom.
Su Xiao had already recognized the two in front of him. The purple-haired beauty was Ri Sei, and the man in the suit and mask was named Da Shou Ya Yun. This name might sound unfamiliar, but CCG referred to him as Jason, while ghouls called him Gecko. He was the Gecko from the original story who 'trained' Kaneki Ken.
"I'm here to take you back, and I need you alive."
Gecko held a long-handled iron clamp, which was actually a surgical tool for ghouls.
Ghouls were different from ordinary humans because they contained a large amount of Rc cells, making their skin very tough. Ordinary knives or medical instruments couldn't harm them at all.
In the world of ghouls, ordinary humans also have Rc cells, but only in small amounts. Ghouls consume humans not only out of hunger but also to replenish their Rc cells.
One could say that Rc cells are a very magical energy; they can enhance the human body and form powerful weapons like Kakuja. If it weren't for the accompanying desire to eat humans, Rc cells would be a great way to enhance oneself, at least better than vampires or werewolves, which have obvious weaknesses.
Su Xiao suspected that there might be contractors in the Reincarnation Paradise who used this method to enhance themselves. Although he wouldn't choose it, some contractors with a taste for the macabre might consider it.
The battle between Ri Sei and Gecko was about to begin, with Gecko in an excited state.
"Before I take you back, could you spare me a finger, three or four arms, and five or six legs?"
Gecko laughed loudly; he was a sadist. Compared to killing his opponent, he preferred to inflict pain.
"With such a huge body, you like little toys? Do you enjoy playing house? How cute."
Ri Sei's taunt made Gecko furious, and he charged at her, swinging the long-handled iron clamp toward the back of her head.
Ri Sei didn't even turn around. From the end of her slender waist, four Kakuja suddenly sprouted.
The Kakuja were deep red, resembling long tails, glowing with a red light, indicating that the Rc cells were highly active.
"Boom."
Gecko was knocked back a few steps by Ri Sei's Kakuja, and the wall nearby was pierced, causing a large amount of water to gush out.
Ri Sei had no intention of engaging Gecko in battle and leaped high into the air, preparing to escape.
Just as she leaped, the protective barrier around Su Xiao disappeared; time was up.
In a split second, Su Xiao tightened his leg muscles and jumped, soaring through the air like a shadow.
When he reappeared, he was already in mid-air, right in front of Ri Sei.
Su Xiao kicked out, landing a powerful blow to Ri Sei's soft abdomen.
Ri Sei, caught off guard in mid-air, had no way to dodge Su Xiao's attack, and her beautiful face immediately showed a look of pain.
"Bang."
With a kick, Ri Sei crashed hard onto the ground, rolling several times.
Su Xiao landed and stretched his slightly sore calves; the ghoul's skin was tougher than he had imagined.
The [Dragon Slaying Flash] appeared in his hand, and Su Xiao looked at Ri Sei and Gecko with a smile.
"So this is an S-rank ghoul? Heh, surprisingly weak. I was worried about how to join CCG, but if I take you both down, it should be no problem."
Ri Sei struggled to stand up, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth, looking at Su Xiao with fear. Her beautiful eyes scanned around, already thinking about how to escape.
The contractors in the distance were stunned, and Han Yu was sweating profusely. He finally understood why they encountered two S-rank ghouls right from the start.
It was because there were even more monstrous beings among the contractors, and the Reincarnation Paradise created this scene to balance the story.
Thank you to the elder [Maple Wind Drifting] for the reward. Once it’s published, there will definitely be more updates. Wait a moment, brothers, don’t hit my face~ just wait a bit~ ah, without any stored chapters, I can’t even speak confidently.
