Chapter 118 Kaneki Ken's Trial

Kaneki Ken stood obediently below, blending in with the ghouls, and was very inconspicuous.

Looking at everything that was happening in front of him, he looked a little bewildered, because so far, no one had paid any attention to him.

The man brandished his twin swords amidst the ghouls, using the simplest and most unadorned techniques to scatter and flee the ghouls.

Several ghouls ran past him just now, acting as if they hadn't seen him at all. They were avoiding the figure wearing the silver fox mask as if he were a god of death, and had no time to pay attention to anything else.

Where's the promised battle? For a moment, Kaneki Ken was actually a little disappointed.

He had finally mustered the courage to fight back if any ghouls attacked him, but the ghouls were easily defeated by the Master, who didn't even glance at him.

Before the master, these brutal ghouls were slaughtered at will like chickens and ducks, unable to even put up a fight.

There were those who resisted, but their resistance did not make them live any longer; Tsukiyama Shuu's portrait is still hanging on the wall.

Honestly, he couldn't bring himself to sympathize with the ghouls who were wantonly slaughtered by the lord. Did they ever sympathize with the humans they wantonly killed and devoured?

All that was happening before his eyes somewhat dispelled Kaneki Ken's fear of ghouls.

Looking at these terrified ghouls, he found it hard to feel fear himself. He realized that ghouls could also be afraid, and that they could be killed very easily.

"Don't stand there, Kaneki, your battle has only just begun."

Just as Kaneki Ken was lost in thought, Ke Ling's voice rang out, interrupting his reverie.

"what?"

Ke Ling's words left Kaneki Ken somewhat confused. Was there still anything he could do to help him now?

"Ghouls, listen up. Whoever can defeat this guy in a 1v1 battle will get a chance to live."

Before Kaneki Ken could figure it out, Ke Ling spoke up, addressing the trembling "upper-class ghouls."

gentlemen!!!"

Kaneki Ken's expression changed drastically upon hearing this. This was unacceptable! How many ghouls would be released?! How could he possibly win?!

Upon hearing Ke Ling's words, the eyes of the "upper-class ghouls" instantly lit up. Seeing the terrified look on this guy's face, they felt there was an opportunity!

"Be confident, Kaneki."

Seeing Kaneki Ken's timid and hesitant appearance, Ke Ling was a little speechless, but he could understand it, after all, the child hadn't experienced that much yet.

"Release your kagune and fight them. You need to understand, Kaneki. Once you lose, a ghoul will be released, and countless humans will be devoured by that ghoul. Those humans will die because you lost."

Ke Ling began to put mental pressure on Kaneki Ken, forcing him to fight.

If this child isn't given enough mental pressure, it will be difficult for his deeply ingrained personality to change.

Of course, the mental pressure shouldn't be too great, as too much pressure can easily lead to a mental breakdown.

Sure enough, after Ke Ling said that, Kaneki Ken's expression became even more conflicted.

He found it hard to accept that so many people had died because of him, yet he was also terrified of fighting, which made his mindset incredibly awkward.

This is a clear case of not appreciating one's good fortune. What Ke Ling is doing now is much gentler than what Kaneki Ken originally went through.

Before being taught subtraction by "Gecko" Yakumo, Kaneki Ken was a typical everyday anime protagonist with a kind and gentle personality, and a typical well-behaved, academically gifted boy.

This kind of personality isn't popular in this world, but it's quite appealing to ghouls.

"Is there any ghoul who wants to give it a try?"

Ke Ling ignored Kaneki Ken's reaction and continued to ask the "upper-class ghouls".

He won't be as twisted as Yamori, who insisted on turning Kaneki Ken's hair white overnight.

But he can teach Kaneki a lesson: if you've chosen to feed on ghouls, you must learn to fight in order to survive.

"I!!!"

Immediately, a flurry of registrations erupted, clearly indicating that none of the ghouls wanted to miss such an opportunity.

We must fight now, because we are fighting for a chance to survive.

They could all see that Kaneki was clearly still a novice, and didn't even have the courage to fight them.

They dared not fight that terrifying fellow wearing the silver fox mask, so how could they possibly be no match for such a cowardly little fellow?!

"Very good, you'll do."

Ke Ling casually picked out a chubby female ghoul, who stepped forward with a look of surprise, while the other ghouls looked at her with envy.

"This, this, this"

As the ghouls approached him, Kaneki Ken felt somewhat helpless. The disappointment he felt at not being able to fight had long since vanished, leaving only tension and fear.

After arranging the trials for Kaneki Ken, Ke Ling looked at Tsukiyama Shu, who was hanging on the wall.

The "gourmet" was still locked in a standoff with the shadow wolf, who kept harassing him, preventing him from drawing his knife.

Ke Ling approached Yue Shanxi and drew his sword. Taking advantage of the situation, the Shadow Wolf pounced on Yue Shanxi and knocked him to the ground. Yue Shanxi raised his arm and used his armor to block the Shadow Wolf's bite.

How was the main course?

Ke Ling approached Yue Shanxi and asked softly, with a hint of teasing.

With his throat pierced, Tsukiyama Shuu was naturally unable to answer, but the rage in his eyes spoke volumes.

"Pfft."

"What kind of bullshit food critic is this? Disgusting."

After making a casual comment, Ke Ling cut off Yue Shanxi's head and kicked it aside.

Ke Ling rolled over Tsukiyama Shu's body. The ghoul's kagune had already been retracted, and his gaze fell on the shoulder blades.

"Bah!"

Ke Ling's extensive medical knowledge came in handy; he precisely cut open the skin and flesh at the scapula and found the "Jiahehebao".

Ke Ling tore a piece of cloth off Tsukiyama Shuu and wrapped the "Kakhekbag" up.

"knock off."

"what!!!"

Just as Ke Ling finished her work here, she heard a scream from Jin Mu, who was working on the research project below.

Ke Ling looked over there and saw Kaneki Ken being chased by one of those ghouls, his body covered in wounds.

That ghoul had a kagune, with a long tail that lashed out at Kaneki Ken like a whip.

"This whip technique looks pretty good; it seems you use it quite often."

Ke Ling muttered a complaint. He had thought this ghoul would be relatively easy to deal with, but who would have thought it would be someone who liked to play with whips?

"Useless trash! Don't run!"

That ghoul was relentless in its pursuit, but she was used to a life of luxury and couldn't catch up with Kaneki Ken for a while, so she could only whip him with her tail.

"Don't just run, you have to fight back, fight back, understand?"

Ke Ling sat down on the viewing platform above and began directing Kaneki Ken; he was almost too tired to watch anymore.

"Paji!"

Upon hearing Ke Ling's words, Kaneki Ken became distracted and was struck on the leg by the ghoul's tail whip, causing him to fall to the ground.

"Sigh~"

Ke Ling couldn't help but gasp, covering one hand with her disaster-averting mask. She couldn't bear to look, she really couldn't bear to look.

The ghoul was filled with ecstatic joy. Her tail whip stood straight up, aiming for Kaneki Ken's head as he fell to the ground. Kaneki Ken closed his eyes in fear.

"Pfft!"

"Blood Cry" spun past, severing the tail whip that was stabbing towards Kaneki Ken with a single strike.

"Very good, you've passed. Go wait over there."

Ke Ling spoke up, and the Shadow Wolf jumped off the arena, picked up "Blood Cry," and returned.

"Next, it's your turn."

Before Kaneki Ken could react, Ke Ling pointed to another ghoul, who was naturally overjoyed.

If everyone was a little apprehensive at first, after seeing Kaneki's performance, they now only hope that they will be the ones called upon.

"Ugh! I give up!"

The ghoul's kagune was a kagune, and it lunged directly at Kaneki Ken, its kagune, which resembled a large wooden stick, slamming into Kaneki Ken's body.

"Oh!"

Kaneki Ken was sent flying by the punch, crashing into the wall and coughing up blood.

"Great, you've passed too. Wait over there."

Ke Ling was very decisive and immediately announced that this ghoul also had a chance to live.

"Next one."

Without any hesitation, Ke Ling ordered another ghoul, not giving Kaneki Ken even a chance to catch his breath.

"boom!"

Kaneki Ken was punched away again, completely powerless to resist, or rather, he didn't resist at all.

"Very good, next one."

Ke Ling continued talking and lighting the ghouls, her pressure palpable.

gentlemen!"

Kaneki Ken struggled to his feet, his eyes showing anxiety.
