Chapter XXVII: Despair

In the dark alley, a young man's corpse with his eyebrows pierced was lying quietly on the ground.

That's an unknown guy caught from the outside world when Sakuya came in.

Innocent or not, let's not talk about it first, he was only chosen by Sakuya because of his weakness and the fate of his little back, and he became a corpse like this.

Is it his fault? No, wrong...... It's this twisted world!

Judging from what just spring said, that unknown boy, a former human, after becoming a mew for some special reason, let alone a [full meal], probably hasn't even eaten a [meal]!

In order to be able to talk to the awake guy, [food] is a must!

And at that time, it happened that this confused-looking guy bumped into him, so Sakiya threw out a dagger and dragged him here, who had lost all his life reactions.

Da Da Da ......

Clear footsteps came from behind him, and then ...... Suddenly, Kaneki was thrown near the corpse by Haru.

As far as the naked eye could see, the expression on his face changed instantly!

ecstasy, greed, desire, struggle, pain, sorrow......

Countless complex emotions flashed from its face, one hand was claw-shaped, constantly and repeatedly scratching at the corpse, the green tendons on the back of the hand were clearly visible, but the other hand was tightly grasping the wrist of that hand, trying its best to stop its movement.

With his teeth clenched and his eyes wide open, the ominous scarlet left eye and the tearful right eye formed a pair of contradictions that could not be more than a long ago!

【Gollum ......】

The empty stomach pouch in the abdomen is ringing again, perhaps because the food is right in front of me, and the sound is even more intense than ever! Ah, it's probably roaring, "I want to!" I'm going to!! I'm going to!!! Let's go!

"What an incompetent master...... Isn't it rare that you haven't heard it cry so sadly? Sakiya spoke, and her dark eyes couldn't see any emotion, "It's delicious, why don't you eat it?" ”

Behind her, Chun had a puzzled face, in the final analysis, no matter how simple and kind her mind is, as an existence that has been a meow since birth, even if she is dissatisfied with her own life, even if she likes human beings and respects life, she still will not have any resistance to the [food] in front of her!

After all, it's the same as humans want to eat, and they have to live, right?

There are three big question marks on the top of Chun's little head, and although she has not yet understood the current situation, she has not interjected any words, because she instinctively feels that the current Sakuya is different from what she used to be.

Quietly looking at the painful appearance of Kaneki struggling between human and non-human boundaries, the corners of Sakuya's mouth slowly curled up a subtle arc: "Ah, speaking of which, I forgot to introduce myself!" ”

"Miss Ben's name is Sixteen Nightsaki, race, it's human!"

Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, Sakuya noticed that the guy's eyes had changed, oh, let me guess, what was more in his right eye...... Ah, yes, that's ...... Something that could be named hope!

"Research ...... Kaneki, Ken, my name is Kaneki Ken! Don't look at me like this, believe me, I'm human too! As if he had caught some life-saving straw, Kaneki knelt down in front of Sakiya, and the last sentence was even shouted in a choked tone.

"Huh? Is it ......" Sakiya's fluttering words made Kaneki's face change instantly.

Originally, Kaneki wanted to shout "I'm really not a meow!" But as soon as he opened his mouth, the words of Kirishima Dongxiang yesterday came to his mind: [Ah, indeed, you are not a meander, but you are not a human either!] A half-person like you has no place for you in any world! 】

Suddenly, he swallowed back the unspoken words......

With his hands tightly on his abdomen, his forehead pounding the ground, tears pouring down like flowing water, his shoulders trembling, just looking at him, he could deeply feel the pain and helplessness that filled his heart!

At this moment, Sakuya spoke again, and it was also a fluttering sentence, a few simple words, but it caused two situations that were completely different from before.

"Ah, it's true...... Human beings, once ...... "eyes slightly closed, dark black eyes do not know what is silently fluctuating."

"What...... What the? Will you trust me? Kaneki looked up, his eyes and expression were filled with incomparable and unbelievable surprises, and the last two words were subconsciously forgotten by him.

"Of course" Sakiya chuckled, nodded, and then suddenly asked, "Suddenly like this, huh, what are you going to do?" ”

"I don't know ......"

"Don't know?" The smile on the corner of Sakiya's mouth suddenly became weird from an angle that Kaneki couldn't see, and he noticed that the interval between Kaneki's answers after hearing his words was gradually lengthening, which proved that the time for Kaneki to keep his sanity was getting shorter and shorter in a state of extreme hunger!

In other words, his head is constantly losing his IQ at an unimaginable rate.

Just when Sakuya was thinking like this, he suddenly felt that his ankle was grabbed, and when he looked down, it was Kaneki, raised his hand to stop the spring that stepped forward angrily, ready to immediately sea flat Kaneki, Sakiya squatted down on his knees, and gently stroked Kaneki's silky black hair.

Then, a murmuring whimper came from the entire Kaneki lying on the ground to Sakuya's ears.

"What to do...... Please tell me, what the hell am I going to do? ”

"What should I do?" Sakiya smiled, "Of course it is...... Eat well! ”

"Yes...... But I can't eat any more food other than humans! Hearing Sakuya's words, Kaneki said with some excitement.

"Oh~~ Silly boy, isn't there ready-made [food] there!"

"What ......" looked at Sakiya's fingers, and Kaneki didn't see anything except the corpse, so, that is...... "No! No! I'm human, how can I eat something like that? I...... I'm different from those monsters! ”

"Oh? Do you know that if you are hungry to the limit, you will go berserk and attack the people around you indiscriminately, how can you ...... Do you think it doesn't matter if you eat me when you're losing your mind? "Sakiya said.

"No...... No, I won't eat it......" Kaneki said in horror.

"Huh...... Don't be stupid, you don't believe this sentence yourself, do you? Speaking of this, Sakiya's fingers suddenly forced, "Huh, do you want to turn back into a human?" ”

“…… Miscellaneous... What the? May I? Can I really turn back into a human again?! "The eyes widened, and the brilliance that bloomed at that moment made Sakuya feel so brilliant that it was hard to look at directly, ahh......hh Miss Ben is all drunk, okay?

"Of course, so...... Whether it's for me or for yourself...... Sprinkle and eat...... Delicious......"

There are ups and downs, maybe he can't hear the last sentence, right? …… The expression of hope and despair mixed with that is really ...... That's great!!

The deep dark alley, dark, even the last trace of moonlight was blocked outside, among them, a beautiful girl dyed with black colors looked at the tearful young man with hope and despair [after the meal], coldly, mercilessly, and brutally took away all the hope in the young man's heart with just one sentence:

"I'm sorry, Kaneki, actually, I lied to you...... I can't go back anymore......"
