264. Chapter 264: Departure: Ghoul
"What the f*ck!"
At this moment, Hughie's attention was completely focused on the Mysterious Person in the center of the battlefield, not listening to what Billy was saying at all.
A figure of immense strength suddenly flipped over the tank that was pressing down on him and charged towards the Mysterious Person like a cannonball!
"Gotcha." After smashing through all obstacles, Soldier Boy extended his arms and grabbed Xia Shang's shoulders.
His eyes were already bloodshot, and the madness and rage within them were chilling.
"Shit!" Seeing the red dot light up on the opponent's chest, Xia Shang's expression finally changed slightly. The Compound V he had stored in his body earlier had already turned into a pile of glass shards under Soldier Boy's two chest beam attacks.
If he wasn't mistaken, the opponent was likely preparing to use his most powerful move.
Just as expected!
After grabbing Xia Shang, Soldier Boy let out a ferocious roar!
"Ah!!!"
Dazzling red light instantly filled his whole body. Amidst the roar, Soldier Boy's internal and external temperature rose rapidly, and the red light glowing on his chest was even harder to look at directly.
"Truly a remarkable superpower." Even at the brink of life and death, Xia Shang was observing the changes happening to Soldier Boy.
Soldier Boy looked exactly like glowing red glass. His internal structure was completely visible in Xia Shang's eyes.
Boom!!! The next second, Soldier Boy sprayed out countless high-temperature flames like a nuclear bomb explosion. The flames, reaching tens of thousands of degrees, carrying terrifying radiation, instantly engulfed Xia Shang entirely.
In an instant.
The super factor within Xia Shang's body was completely wiped out.
Without the amplification of his superpower, he was like an ice cream left out in the scorching sun. The extremely high-temperature flames burned his skin, exposing the bright red, pulsating muscle tendons beneath the charred flesh.
The enormous shockwave, along with the heatwave, almost destroyed everything within fifty meters centered around Soldier Boy, and the affected area was still expanding!
After the dust settled.
Billy and the others, who had hidden in the Laboratory, narrowly escaped death.
"That guy's superpower is too terrifying," Hughie said with lingering fear.
"It's like someone dropped a small nuclear bomb here."
Billy walked out of the hole.
Looking at the scene before him, which resembled post-battlefield ruins, his face was filled with solemnity.
"Where's the Mysterious Person? Could it be..."
Hughie came up behind Billy. He only saw Soldier Boy half-kneeling on the ground, gasping for air.
As for the Mysterious Person, he seemed to have vanished into thin air, disappearing without a trace.

In the corner of a dimly lit alley, rustling sounds of predation could be heard.
A middle-aged man with a crazed expression was devouring a corpse he had picked up from the roadside, while vigilantly looking around. "What the hell is this thing!!! So delicious! Every single one of my cells is trembling with excitement!" The middle-aged man used all his strength to bite off a small piece of flesh and blood from the corpse, but even that small piece caused his Rc cells to proliferate wildly.
"Exquisite delicacy! A rare treat encountered once in a thousand years!"
The man chewed the flesh and blood in his mouth, laughing maniacally.
"Could this guy be a powerful kakuja? But he doesn't seem to have a kagune in his body?" In the darkness, the man's blood-red eyes were particularly noticeable.
"Never mind that, I need to hurry up. This isn't my predation ground after all. It would be bad if that guy Nishiki Nishio found out."
Thinking that his food might be taken away, the man couldn't help but speed up his chewing.
"Hehehehehe, as long as I eat this entire corpse in front of me, Nishiki Nishio is nothing! I'll eat him someday too, and this place will be my predation ground sooner or later."
At the same time.
A young man wearing a blue hooded sweatshirt walked out of his Room with a crazed laugh and came under the street lamp outside.
"I want to kill people! I want to eat meat..."
Several weeks ago, the young man Ken Kaneki met Rize Kamishiro, who shared his hobby, at the coffee shop "Anteiku," and they agreed to go to a bookstore. After their date, Ken Kaneki was preparing to walk her home, but unexpectedly, on the way home, Ken Kaneki was attacked by the Binge Eater Rize Kamishiro. Due to an accidental building accident, a steel frame falling from a high altitude instantly buried Rize Kamishiro, but by then, Ken Kaneki was already critically injured.
When he woke up again, he found himself in a Hospital.
But from that day on, he noticed some strange changes happening to his body. Human food was simply unbearable for him to swallow, while the smell of human flesh emitted from people made him unable to help but drool.
At this point, he remembered what the Doctor had said.
"Transplant her internal organs into him."
Ken Kaneki finally understood what had turned him into a monster.
The black film over his left eye receded, and the young man temporarily regained consciousness.
"What is that? It smells so good? Even though I'm smelling it for the first time, it gives me a feeling of being very delicious, like the top-tier cuisine I imagine, like grilled top-grade Wagyu." Ken Kaneki locked onto the direction the scent was coming from and kept speeding up his steps.
When he arrived, he saw the middle-aged man predation on the corpse. When he clearly saw the source of the scent, he instantly collapsed to his knees in despair.
"That's enough."
The bloody corpse suddenly opened its eyes and raised its right arm, which revealed bone, gently placing its palm on the middle-aged man's head.
[Analysis successful]
[Talent Skill: Rc cells]
[Fusion Condition: Kill the ghoul in front of you]
[After fusion, a very small number of the player's cells will undergo mutation, their hardness will greatly increase, and their activity can be maintained by consuming ordinary food or R-meat. Food with higher nutrients will have a better effect.]
[Talent Skill: Kakuhou]
[Fusion Condition: Transplant the kakuhou within the ghoul's body into the player's body]
[After fusion, the player can store mutated cells through the kakuhou. If a large number of mutated cells are released from the kakuhou, the mutated cells will protrude from the player's skin, forming a unique predation organ 'kagune'. In addition, the player can increase the number and strength of kakuhou by devouring other ghouls.]
[Talent Skill: Koukaku]
[Fusion Condition: Devour the kakuhou of the ghoul in front of you]
[Fusion Prerequisite: The player must possess a kakuhou]
[After fusion, the player's high-concentration mutated cells will be compressed. Generally, their kakuhou is located below the shoulder blade. The kagune has a metallic texture and can be used by the player to cover the body surface, providing extremely high defense, but its weight is also far greater than ordinary cells.]
"I don't need to eat R-meat? It seems the cells produced after fusion are not pure Rc cells," Xia Shang murmured softly.
