Hinami was running on the street, Dong Xiang should still be in the library now, but Hinami believed that if the other party knew that Brother Kaneki was back, she would definitely rush back non-stop, so she continued to run even if she was out of breath, she had an inexplicable feeling that if she missed it this time, both Dong Xiang and she would regret it.

"How..."Dong Xiang watched her friend Yizi correct the test papers she did with some worry, her expression was a little serious after she corrected it, which was not the same as her usual state, which made Dong Xiang worry about her level.

"I'm so surprised..."At this time, Yizi was very surprised, Dong Xiang's grades have improved a lot. You're really working hard, Dong Xiang. “

"Great." Dong Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, she was not confident in her results.

"Science and math are almost full marks." Yizi was most surprised by the other party's science results, and from her appearance, she couldn't tell that Dong Xiang was suitable for science.

"Is the problem really in the ancient text..."Dong Xiang sighed a little disappointed, she has also practiced a lot, so she naturally knows where her weak parts are, but she is still a little disappointed when she really takes the test.

"No problem, Dong Xiang is so serious." Yizi put the roll on the table, and all Dong Xiang lacked now was confidence. "Just keep working like this."

"But..."Seeing Dong Xiang nodded, Yizi's gossip fire burned again. Why do you want to work so hard, Dong Xiang? ‘

"Well..."Dong Xiang scratched her face and smiled awkwardly, the reason for her efforts is hard to say...

"I'll tell you one day." Looking at Dong Xiang's embarrassed expression, Yizi smiled gently.

"Hmm." Sure enough, Yizi is his best friend.,I'll never touch the secret I don't want to say in my heart.,If you're a human being.,Perhaps...

It's forbidden to run in the library, but today's Hina can't manage so much, she accidentally bumped into a few people and didn't have time to apologize, until she ran to Dong Xiang's side to rest.

"Hinami?" Dong Xiang looked at the panting Hinami strangely, it seemed that she rushed over in a hurry, what could make her rush like this?

"Big brother, he—" Hinami regained her strength at this time, she raised her head and said with a serious expression.

Although Hinami didn't finish speaking, Dong Xiang already understood what she meant, she quickly stood up, she didn't even care if the chair was knocked over, Hinami listened to Dong Xiang's footsteps leaving, but her heart was more relaxed than ever.

"But the happiness didn't last long," the manager continued, in a sluggish tone. Their affairs were known to the organization, and the woman was a journalist pursued by the organization, and the descendants of the people and the mew species were not allowed to survive, and Gong Shan had no choice but to flee, and he and the woman were attacked by the organization elite while fleeing, and Gong Shan was carrying a child at the time, but he failed to protect the woman. “

"He sent the kid to the twenty-fourth district." Gong Shan paused, as if trying to free himself from that sadness. "Because he chose revenge... Turning into a owl, he planned to fight to the death with the organization, although the other party suffered heavy losses, but at this time he knew what kind of behemoth the other party was, and what he destroyed was only the tip of the iceberg, and finally he chose to give up...."

"He came back alive, but the child and the person entrusted to him were gone." Although this passage was skimmed out, Kaneki knew that the war was far more thrilling than he had imagined. "As time goes by... There is a mew who hates everything in the world and is called the One-Eyed Owl..."

"One-eyed owl—" Kaneki spoke slowly, he roughly understood what was going on.

"That's right... That's my child..."Although the store manager's tone was calm, Kaneki could still hear the sadness and helplessness of the other party. "Sooner or later, the organization will find out... When the kid was fatally wounded in the attack on CCG, I wondered what would happen if I were attacked by the organization again... So merit replaced the one-eyed owl, and that was ten years ago. “

"So you're—" Kaneki needs to make another confirmation. merits..."

"I said, Kaneki," the manager didn't answer directly. You have a place for both worlds at the same time, equally... Half of your body is what you throw away... Whether you choose a human or a meow, it's the same for you..."

"Now, if you can re-elect." Kaneki was stunned, had he been abandoning his human identity all along? Is this what you expect? "Meditate in the gap between humans and mews.... Think twice, I hope you can save the lonely man.. Henceforth... My kids, please, too. ”

The reason why the store manager noticed the small movements of some people and didn't stop them was just because he also wanted someone who could understand his children, which was why he took care of Kaneki so much, everyone has their own private plans, even if it is the store manager, he can harden his heart to save most people, but he doesn't want his children to feel left out again, so he wants to make a half-meagre Kaneki strong enough to enter the sight of the organization, only in this way, The organization wouldn't keep its eyes on the only one-eyed meow, but Kaneki was too strong, and he didn't want Kaneki to be hunted down like he was back then.

"Are you going back to Anding?" The store manager left a place for his children and Kaneki. "Kaneki-kun."

Luo Ma had just swept away the pieces she had broken, when the door suddenly opened, and Dong Xiang rushed in, but after looking around and not finding the person she was looking for, she hurriedly asked Luo Ma who was scared stupid again.

"What about that guy?"

"He was still there just now..."Not long after leaving? Dong Xiang knew that it was definitely not the road she came from before, so she would definitely be able to catch up in such a short time, so she closed the door in a hurry, and she didn't even have time to listen to what Luo Ma said.

Kaneki slowly walked up the pedestrian bridge, he was thinking, what the store manager said made him very excited, and he was about to be tormented by this feeling of being devoured, but did he leave the bronze tree like this? Xiao is not a store manager, he will let himself go so easily, it seems that he will have to delay for a while before making a decision.

When he was halfway there, he suddenly heard a rush of footsteps behind him, he didn't stop, even though he had already guessed who the other party was, but no matter who it was, he couldn't guarantee anything now.

Dong Xiang panted, she ran too fiercely, she had been running at full speed from the library to the overpass, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to see the person she wanted to see, but when she really caught up, she found that she couldn't say a word.

Jin Mu finally stopped, he turned his head and watched Dong Xiang slowly approach him, in front of Dong Xiang he was still the shy boy.

"I've talked to the store manager..."Kaneki turned his head away from the other party, his only unobscured eyes overflowing with sadness, but he couldn't go back to his old days. He wants me to come back to Anding District..."

"And then?" Dong Xiang looked at the other party's face that gradually became indifferent, and his tone became stiff.

"I don't know...."Jin Mu was telling the truth, even now, what was left for him was still confused, but this made Dong Xiang, who was looking forward to meeting him, a little chilly, she didn't rush so desperately for this vague answer. I want to protect everyone... I don't want to... Seeing important people taken away again, so..."

"I've got to make myself stronger." Jin Mu subconsciously snapped his fingers, seeing that it was impossible for him to give up his strength because of the cruelty, he was like an ignorant child, finding a path of his own, even if that path was wrong, he would still go on without hesitation.

"That's why you joined the Bronze Tree." Dong Xiang said this, although she understood his decision, but still could not alleviate her resentment towards Jin Mu. "We don't need your protection at all, you seem to be thinking about others, but you only think about yourself."

"I just hope you don't be alone anymore..."Kaneki already knew that he would be thought like this, and even though he had been mentally prepared for it, he still subconsciously touched his chin. That's enough. ”

Seeing this action, Dong Xiang couldn't hold back her anger, obviously she was in pain, what kind of adult was pretending to be here, what was pretending to be high, she walked quickly in front of Jin Mu and threw her own punch, but was easily blocked by Jin Mu.

"Less of a gloomy expression of a tragic protagonist." Dong Xiang hated such Jin Mu, like an actor walking on the stage wearing a mask, which reminded her of her former self, she used her fists and kicks, but in Jin Mu's eyes, it was like slow motion, and he easily blocked Dong Xiang's attack with only one hand. "How can a person like you who can't even protect himself have a way to protect others, and a guy like you shouldn't return to the Anding District in the end!"

Hearing this, Jin Mu was stunned, and was knocked to the ground by Dong Xiang with a punch, Dong Xiang jumped up and pounced on Jin Mu's body, although the fist was still waving on Jin Mu's face, but the strength was also reduced a lot. "Why... Why... Why..."

"Why..."Her last punch still didn't come out, her heart hurt inexplicably, Dong Xiang stood up and left like a walking corpse. Why did you become like this..."

Kaneki didn't get up, he subconsciously held his chin, even so, he still needed to wear the mask that pretended to be strong...

"Why..."He asked in a trance, as if he was asking himself, as if he was asking the world, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, feeling the pain on his face, but his heart was warm, even if he was lonely, there were people who cared about him.....

Roma finally swept up the pieces of the cup on the floor again, she wiped her sweat, this time there should be no one, but as if to answer the complaint in her heart, the door opened again, although this time it was not loud, but the sight of the person who came in still made Roma tremble in fright.

It was a man covered in black robes, the only thing that stood out was his hideous dragon-shaped mask, and he looked around the empty stable area, turned his gaze to Loma, and spoke in his muffled voice.

"Is the manager of Anding Ward here?"

"He.... At... Upstairs..."This time it's really scary, whether it's seeing Jin Mu or seeing Dong Xiang, it's just a big startle for her, and this guy who suddenly appeared gave her a lot of pressure, she seems to have a vague impression of this person, it's just a not very good impression...."The store manager... He's still there..."

"Thank you." After hearing the answer, he didn't go upstairs immediately, his eyes kept looking at the trembling girl in front of him. "You look familiar.... Where have I seen you? ”
