"Okay, no problem." Izumi Takatsuki took out a pen and a small notebook, which she used to remember her inspirations. "Then I'll just ask directly, is it possible to create a mew seed artificially?"

"What do you mean..."Shinohara, who didn't keep up with the other party's train of thought, and the question was quite sensitive.

"I'm just making an analogy, if you take the genetics, blood, and internal organs of the seeds, they can actually do that." Izumi Takatsuki turned the pen in his hand with a smile, and the skillful technique kept Suzuya in sight. "Is it possible to transplant these things into humans and create mews in an artificial way?"

"Well—" Shinohara, who had been in the past, might have scoffed at this statement, but since seeing that blindfold, his heart began to feel slightly uneasy, as if some kind of balance had been broken. I don't know..."

Is it really perfunctory? Takatsuki Izumi felt a little bored, looked at Suzuya, who was watching her turn the pen intently, and smiled at the other party, but Suzuya shuddered violently and shrank back, she looked to the other side again, and found that Long Hao was still silent as always, he seemed to be distracted.

"I don't know, do I?" Izumi Takatsuki wrote down this sentence as he spoke, and the disappointment in his tone couldn't help but make Shinohara's explanation.

"After all, I'm in charge of the front-line work, so I don't know if it's feasible, but...."Shinohara, he blamed the reason on his own work, he is not a researcher after all, and the other party's questions are very sharp, so that he can perfunctory a lot of questions, and he can be dismissed casually with confidentiality, and a public figure like this writing casually may cause an uproar in society.

"But what?" Izumi Takatsuki did not give up on this issue.

"To be honest," Shinohara, he thought for a moment with his arms crossed, he was also a person who had access to the media, and his public relations skills would naturally not be bad. "I don't think there's any point in creating such a dangerous creature as the Seed."

"I see." Izumi Takatsuki rarely stopped his pen, his glasses reflecting a dazzling light, and he replied in a watertight manner.

"Are you done with all the questions?" Shinohara, he added, he didn't want to ask any more bizarre questions.

"No, there's another one." Izumi Takatsuki pointed to Suzuya who was confused on the side with his notebook. "What's your name?"

Suzuya glanced to the side, as if she didn't want to talk to the other party, and looking at Suzuya's expression, Izumi Takatsuki had an unpredictable smile on her face.

"Suzuya Shizuku." Long Hao spoke, his eyes moved back to Takatsuki Izumi, who looked a little scary, Takatsuki Izumi smiled disapprerovingly, got up and left. "Suzuya Investigator."

"That's a good name, thank you for your help, it's helped me a lot." She gulped down the coffee CCG had given her. "It's surprisingly delicious."

"Really?" It's just a coffee that can be used casually to serve customers.

"Anyway, you know what?" When it came to coffee, she seemed to think of something, attracting all the attention of the three people, Long Hao knew that the point was coming, this woman was full of lies, and only those casual details would reveal a little clue. "I heard that there is a delicious café in the 20th arrondissement."

"I don't know." Shinohara, who replied dryly, didn't have time to visit the café.

"Settle down?" Long Hao replied, he was slightly reluctant, but it was all over. "I've been there, and I've talked to the clerk."

"Yes, but I've heard of it." Izumi Takatsuki had a mysterious expression. "Actually, that café... There's a rumor that it was planted by meows. “

"What?" Shinohara's face was full of surprise, he thought that the other party would talk nonsense, after all, he wrote novels, and he could make up any strange stories, but when it came to meow, the meaning to him was different.

"Anyway, that's it, it's probably just a rumor." Izumi Takatsuki smiled and beckoned, turned to leave, and the remaining three people all remained silent in tacit agreement until the middle of the day, when Shinohara slowly spoke. "Is it true? Long Hao is superior? ”

"I don't know, I remember that the shop was opened by an old man," Long Hao shook his head in annoyance, as if recalling the people he had seen in Anding District. "There are two older clerks, a man and a woman, and two clerks who seem to be part-time students, and a little girl, who seems to be a relative of the store manager, and I don't remember if there were any new clerks recruited after that."

"Do you think they look like meows?" Shinohara mainly wanted to ask about this, and he felt as if he had found some clue.

"By the way, I remember that there was a student like me who was a student at Shangjing University who worked part-time, but recently, I don't know why, he disappeared." Long Hao's words made Shinohara startled.

"Is that student's name Kanekiken?"

"Yes." Long Hao was silent and spoke, perhaps because he was surprised. "Because it's the same school, I and the other party are also nodding friends."

"Looks like I'm really going to have to take a look." Shinoha sighed and lifted the box. "Do you want to come with us? Long Hao is superior. ”

"Forget it... It didn't feel right," Long Hao also seemed to think of something, and he chose to stop Shinohara. "By the way, Shinohara, don't rush to go now, I'm a little suspicious of that woman."

"Doubtful?" Seeing that Long Hao was calm again, Shinoha also calmed down, if the other party knew that a CCG investigator was coming, he would have left a long time ago, if he didn't know, he would definitely still be in business, it was better to listen to Long Hao's advice first. "There's something wrong with that woman?"

"Maybe it's my delusion.." Long Hao shook his head. "My advice is to wait until it's almost time to close, and be prepared for even a trap."

"That's right." Shinohara, his expression serious, after all, he still had to report to his superiors. "Suzuya, let's go."

"Shinohara, can I say a word to Suzuya?" Long Hao suddenly stopped Shinohara, who had been staring at Suzuya who had not yet come back to his senses.

"Okay, I'll be back for you later." Shinoha easily agreed, and he was now in a hurry to report on his discovery. "Listen to Long Hao's superior words."

"Hmm..."Long Hao watched Shinoha disappear into the crowd in a hurry, and he suddenly spoke. Are you scared? “

"Huh?" Suzuya was startled and quickly shook his head, but nodded weakly when Long Hao's eyes were fixed on him. "The woman... It's weird.. And it's the first time I've seen someone like that."

"Are you scared too?" Long Hao was slightly disappointed, but he seemed to remember something and shook his head gently. "I forgot, you're nothing more than a human being."

Suzuya had never seen Long Hao show a disappointed look at him, he wanted to defend something, but found that he couldn't say anything, and his fear was still like a maggot on the tarsal bones, his limit was here, but he was so unwilling....

——————————————

Roma happily wiped the table, still taking time out of her hand to hold the plate, now she can finally take care of the stable area by herself without breaking the plate, when a person pushes the door in, she looks up happily, but meets an unexpected person.

"Welcome..."The plate in her hand fell unconsciously when she saw that person, she stepped back, although she admired the other party very much, but she would still be surprised to see the other party, just like Ye Gong is a good dragon.

Wearing an eyepatch and indifferent eyes, Kaneki stood quietly at the door, his white hair stared straight at the store manager standing on the side, not caring about Roma at all, and as the door closed, the stable area fell into a calm.

After a while, Hinami walked in a little discouraged, her mind still echoing a few words from Izumi Takatsuki, but she quickly perked up, I must have too... If you can help the big brother, there must be... Pushing open the door and entering the stable area, she saw Roma who was holding a broom but panicked.

"What's wrong?" Hinami panicked thinking that Roma had accidentally broken the plate.

"Just... Just... Mr. Kaneki is here. Roma said the reason in a hurry, she was so nervous when she saw Kaneki for the first time, she really couldn't imagine the brainless look before. Now I am in it with the store manager. ”

Big brother is coming? Hinami looked up in surprise, and the scenes of living with Brother Kaneki came to mind, but the first thing she thought of was Dong Xiang, and she pushed the door out, completely ignoring the shouts of Roma in the back.

————————

"Can you tell me?" was the store manager pouring a cup of coffee for Kaneki with a cup he rarely used, Kaneki spoke, and his question froze the storekeeper, an old man who had been through the storm. Anything about owls? “

The store manager sighed deeply, lay back on the sofa, looked at the two cups in a row next to each other, and fell into memory, maybe he was thinking about how to speak.

"There was a man named . . . The seed of merit. The store manager opened his eyes slightly, as if he had returned to the hideousness of the past. Like most mews, he eats people to survive, and he slaughters his fellow mews, cursing his fate, strong and alone. ”

"The name of merit is getting louder and louder..."Although the store manager didn't say it explicitly, Kaneki already knew who the protagonist of this story was, but there was a resonance in his heart. So he was approached by an organization, he decided to join that organization, and he followed the orders of the organization... Whether the target is a human or a mew, kill no matter what... Killing became his job, Gong Shan was still alone, and the organization he joined could not be his safe haven. ”

"Someday—" A smile was evident on his lips as he said this. Gong Shan met a human in an old café, he met a woman, Gong Shan, who was lonely and did not open his heart to anyone, but for some reason he removed his guard against women, but... Merit was discovered, but the woman accepted him..."

It was obviously the happiest time of the store manager, but soon the store manager's face returned to calm, as if he thought of something painful.

"She's pregnant... A child between a meow and a human being... Unless something miracle happens—" The manager bowed his head slightly, he still couldn't forget the woman's decision at that time, she chose to eat what she had never thought of. "Women cause miracles... Gong Shan finally ushered in a happy life, but... This happiness didn't last long..."
