Chapter 97.1 : Kaneki Ken!

Tokyo Ghoul World

In a lively room, a blond man's eyes widened dramatically, and his grotesque face bore a morbid smile.

"Tokyo Ghoul World, 1000-7... Haha, it's me, definitely me. This time, I've secured a ranking in the list!"

Oomori Yakumo exaggeratedly opened his mouth, drooling disgustingly, then ruthlessly bit down on the toy in front of him.

After swallowing a mouthful of blood, a delighted expression crossed his face.

After securing a ranking on the list, the one who receives the reward becomes stronger, and the torture fun becomes even more thrilling!

In a coffee shop, Kirishima Touka furrowed her brows slightly, not anticipating that the initial inventory was the world she inhabited.

Truth be told, she didn't want any acquaintance of hers to be on the list, and it wasn't very pleasant when someone went on a rampage in that state of blackening.

While contemplating, Kirishima Touka cast a fleeting glance at Ken Kaneki, who was still wiping the cups.

"If Touka were to die, I would be saddened...

This sentence echoed in her ears once again, bringing to mind the image of the other person gently bandaging her wounds.

Kirishima Touka's heartbeat quickened slightly as she lowered her head in contemplation.

In any case, this list should not involve this boy who always has a gentle smile.

Simultaneously, CCG, Aogiri Tree, and others all began to focus, eagerly awaiting the images, hoping to extract some valuable information.

[The screen illuminates, revealing a coffee shop in the camera.]

[Under the sunset's afterglow, a man knelt on the ground, facing a black-haired boy with an eyepatch.]

Off-screen, Ken Kaneki appeared confused, unable to grasp why this person bestowed such a grand gift upon him.

In the 11th district, a middle-aged uncle with a bewildered expression looked even more puzzled!

Are you out of your mind, kneeling before a little kid!

["I apologize for my earlier mistake. I misunderstood you and Miss Rize. But where is she now?"

[Banjou raised his head and pleaded.]

Off-screen, Banjou's eyes widened. Surprisingly, he had been searching for the missing Miss Rize, finally obtaining news and continued watching anxiously.

As for kneeling, it didn't matter; it was just a form of kowtow.

["Miss Rize, she has...]

[The expression of Banjou turned slightly ugly. Could it be that she is dead?)

After a few seconds, Ken Kaneki pondered and said, "She's not here anymore!"

Off-screen, he was nearly scared to death; this kid really knows how to keep a secret, but at least there are no issues with people.

However, in a certain research institute, Dr. Akihiro Kanou displayed a faint smile.

That woman is being utilized as a test subject by him to mass-produce one-eyed ghouls.

Yet, Ken Kaneki should have believed that Rize Kamishiro was deceased at that time; now, it's just a harmless white lie!

[And at this moment, a figure kicked the coffee shop's glass and entered, kicking thousands of feet away!]

[Ayato Kirishima felt a mix of emotions but continued to mock his sister Kirishima Touka in the coffee shop.]

[The doorbell rang suddenly, and a robust blond man and a shapely figure walked in.]

[Glancing at the crowd before him, Oomori Yakumo was thrilled; he had indeed followed Banjou and discovered the scent of Rize!]

[Yakumo Oomori wore a sick smile, even though he hadn't found Rize Kamishiro. The boy in front of him should suffice!]

["Hey, Nico, is this guy acceptable too?" Oomori Yakumo inquired once more.

[Oomori Yakumo pointed at the Kaneki and said "Alright, take him away quickly!"]

[Kirishima Touka was furious; these people were so audacious in the absence of the store manager!]

["Take him away? What are you saying arbitrarily!?")

[No fear in her eyes, she was ready to fight!]

[Wishful thinking?]

[Oomori Yakumo slammed Kirishima Touka with a swift punch, turned around, and seized Kaneki by the neck, lifting his opponent from the bar and holding him high!]

"It is the right of the strong to act arbitrarily!"

[Do whatever you want!!)

[Oomori Yakumo laughed and waved his arms; Kaneki Ken in his grasp was forcefully slammed onto the table!)

[The fragile wooden table suddenly shattered, and Kaneki Ken fell to the ground in pain!]

[But it wasn't over; Oomori Yakumo kicked Kaneki Ken's stomach with excitement several times!)

Off-screen, the store manager, Kuzen Yoshimura, had a gloomy expression at this time.

He remembered this man.

On the other side, Kirishima Touka looked at the screen with anger.

As for Ken Kaneki, at this moment, he frowned with a puzzled face, not understanding why the other party was attacking him.

[Oomori Yakumo used his thumb to adjust the joint of his ring finger; the pain and the scent of blood exhilarated him completely!]

[The next second, he raised his foot and stomped hard, as if abusing a toy puppet!]

[Severe pain, as if the internal organs were breaking; Kaneki Ken let out an extremely painful scream.]

[But immediately, he hugged Oomori Yakumo's foot and stood up vigorously!]

[Kaneki Ken roared angrily, a scarlet horror eye hanging in the left eye frame!]

"It turned out to be one-eyed..."

[Oomori Yakumo's happy face turned surprised, and the next moment, Kagune with countless thorns instantly pierced Kaneki Ken.]

Although he was no longer human, the sight of his chest and abdomen being penetrated made Ken Kaneki's back instantly covered in sweat!

I didn't expect to be so powerless in the face of danger.

The dream of settling down in the coffee shop shattered at this moment.

[The scene darkens, and when it lights up again, it reveals a dark space.]

[The next second, a scream of pain echoed from the screen.]

[The perspective moves down, revealing a gruesome and terrifying scene.]

[Kaneki Ken was tied to a seat with his hands behind his back on the ground, while Oomori Yakumo, wearing Jason's mask, held blood-stained iron scissors in his hand.]

"Meow..."

[The shrill screams echoed again; Kaneki Ken's toe was severed, soaring into the air before falling freely onto the blood-filled marble floor.]

Beside this toe, there are at least seventy or eighty toes scattered all over the place. 

(It's not hard to see that this process has been repeated many times!)
