Leon: "What do you think? Now you should believe it, right? "

Kaneki: "Believe what?"

Leon: "The money is in their hand now, so, your aunt's family of course doesn't need to act in front of you anymore."

Kaneki: "…"

Leon: "What's wrong? Your mother was killed by your aunt, your aunt's family. Even after your mother died, they didn't repent and still treated you like this. Are you not angry them at all? Don't you want revenge at all?"

Kaneki did not reply.

Taking the money, he went to the street and was ready to eat today's dinner outside.

Just as Kaneki passed by an electrical store, the glass side of the electrical store was filled with all kinds of televisions, which happened to be reporting a news.

News: "Hello, everyone, I am your news anchor XXXX. The next news reported for you is that at 7-9 P.M. in the evening yesterday, another family in XX district was killed by ghouls."

-"The way these crimes was committed was exactly the same as the previous murder cases. There was no trace of breaking the door, it looked like an acquaintance."

-"However, some experts think that maybe this is just a facade made by ghouls. Because according to the talks and news revealed by the neighbors of these families, they all have one thing in common. That is, they habitually put the key of the house somewhere at the door."

-"Maybe ghouls found this habit of theirs and took the key to break into the house."

-"So this news channel is here to appeal to the residents of XX district, if you also put tge key somewhere near the door, please be sure to change it as soon as possible, so as not to become the next target of ghouls."

The news anchor spoke very fast.

Hearing this Kaneki started to walk on one side of the store, but when he walked to the other side of the store, the news had already ended.

Leon:"Did you hear it? It was another kind of crime. It happens to be the district where you live! You say, if you can use this ghoul to avenge your mother, isn't it better? If your aunt's family was killed by ghouls, I believe no one will suspect you, right? Then you don't have to worry so much."

Hearing Leon's words, Kaneki subconsciously stopped, he listened to the news report in a daze and watched the scene on the television screen.

A moment later, Kaneki left as if nothing had happened.

He didn't reply.

But Leon didn't care, he still pretended to analyze and confuse Kaneki's in his mind, asking and answering his own question: "Since the ghoul who committed the crime has not been caught, it means that this ghoul cannot hide in the neighbors of this group of victims. Otherwise, the ghoul Investigator would not have found it. Usually, no one would casually spread this kind of small habit."

Leon: "hmmm ... Other than the neighbors, who would know that the victim's family had this habit of hiding the key somewhere near the door? Who else would be able to discover this kind habit of the victim's family?"

Leon: "Yes! Oh, right!, This person must have an identity that would not arouse suspicion even if he passed by the victim's house every day! Otherwise, he wouldn't have discovered the place of hiding the key of the victim's family!"

Leon: Postman? A newspaper delivery man? The milkman? Or are these victim locations the only house in the way for ghouls to go to work and coming off from work? "

Kaneki did not respond.

Leon did not say anything, this was obvious enough. Kaneki seemed to be somewhat indifferent. But Leon knew that, Kaneki had already remembered his words.

His expression and thinking could be hidden from others, but it couldn't be hidden from Leon, who watched him grow up from birth to the present.

The next process of buying food was enough to prove that Leon's guess was right.

"hey Kid!! hey! You haven't paid yet! " The store owner gasped and caught up with Kaneki.

Kaneki bowed and apologized: "I'm sorry, I really forget."

A moment later, store owner began to shout again: "Hey! Hey! kid, you haven't taken back the change yet!"

But Kaneki didn't listen, On the surface, he didn't care much, but Kaneki was thinking about something that he didn't pay attention to his surrounding.

In the following period of time, the small thing in Kaneki's life had made some changes, he would pay attention to 'that type of news' intentionally or unintentionally.

He will Pay attention to the places where the victims were killed.

Sometimes he would take a 'detour', deliberately passing through these crime sites on the way to school or coming home. In the end, the conclusion was that it was impossible for the routes of these crime scenes to be linked together.

In other words, people who went to work or got off from work were excluded.

Then the rest option could only be newspaper delivery, milk delivery, postman, and so on.

Only these people would take such a strange path and not be suspected by others.

After this discovery, Kaneki was very surprised. He didn't expect that the horrible ghoul was so close to his life. It could even be anyone around him.

However, this terrible fact didn't bother him for long.

After that, he also passed through those routes intentionally or unintentionally and finally locked on several targets.

He didn't know if there would be ghouls among these targets.

He only knew that these are targets, in addition to often appearing on the 'fixed route', sometimes passed by his aunt's house from time to time.

Kaneki's series of small movements were seen by Leon, but in the whole process of the investigation, Leon saw through it but didn't say anything.

He didn't mean to ridicule Kaneki.

Now that his investigation had a result, everything was ready, but Kaneki came back to his senses at this time. He … What was he going to do? He … What was he doing?

Yes, Kaneki did this series of things unconsciously.

In the process of the investigation, he didn't think about revenge, it was like satisfying his curiosity.

However, this so-called 'satisfying his curiosity' was just an idea he create to deceive himself and others.

It was just that he didn't notice it himself.

Leon knew that at this time, someone must come out and push Kaneki. Only by pushing Kaneki, it can let him pass this threshold in his heart.

So, the dark seed buried in his heart could completely break out of the shell and could start to grow.

And this person was undoubtedly is Leon.

Leon: "You … What are you still hesitating for?"

At this moment, Kaneki was standing in front of the door, motionless.

In the distance, one of the 'targets' was about to pass by him. Kaneki knew that the 'target' was about to pass by him. But he didn't know why he was here at this time, at this place, motionless.

Leon: "Your beautiful life has been destroyed by someone. The person who destroyed your beautiful life is living more happily and comfortably than you every day. He doesn't even know how to repent and ridicules you behind your back. And this' person 'is in this house, aren't you angry and don't want to take revenge? "

Kaneki lowered his head and didn't speak.

Leon: "Don't think so much. Tell yourself that you just did something inadvertently to make people mistakenly think that you took the key from somewhere to open the door."

Leon: This … is all an 'accident', Do it, if you don't do it, that person will leave … "

At this point.

'Ring, ring.' This was the bell of the target's bicycle. Judging from the bell, it was enough to know that the target was not far from him.

And just when the target was about to ride the bicycle and pass by his aunt's house.

Kaneki suddenly bent down, seemingly taking out 'something' from the carpet at the door, and then got up to open the door. Kaneki glanced at the target from the corner of his eye.

He saw the target and also noticed his actions ...

'Crack.' The sound of the shell breaking was heard.

From this moment on, the dark seed began to grow. The seed looked very small, but it had tenacious vitality …
