"You think I'd forget about you?"
Although his right shoulder was pierced by a kagune, a strange smile appeared on Lancer face, because Ken Kaneki's side abdomen was also pierced along with his right shoulder.
Indeed, Lancer target was more Ayato Kirishima, but as an investigator, his position was inherently opposite to Ken Kaneki, who was a ghoul. So he had been wary of Ken Kaneki from the beginning. And when he thrust out his spear, the long spear in his hand warned him, and in the end, Lancer decisively gave up on Ayato Kirishima in front of him and turned his spear to thrust backward.
Ken Kaneki on the other side also didn't seem to have expected that his 'sneak attack' would be discovered by Lancer, but feeling the quinque in his body, his expression also became very ugly.
As a manufactured ghoul who inherited Rize Kamishiro's ghoul identity, he also inherited Rize Kamishiro's powerful recovery ability. This one shot was not enough to threaten his life. What really made his expression ugly was that this spear was undoubtedly made from 'Rize Kamishiro's' kakuhou.
"Where is Rize Kamishiro?!"
Rize Kamishiro
This name had a very special meaning to Ken Kaneki. She was the first woman he ever fell in love with, and also the person who dragged him into the bottomless abyss of 'ghouls'. Just before, he had accepted her 'spirit' and chose to become a ghoul and had just performed a 'cannibalism', but even so, he had not completely given up.
'Since I became a ghoul because of Rize Kamishiro, maybe I can turn back?'
Although he knew that this thought of his was unbelievable, there was no doubt that when he saw the quinque in Lancer hand, this thought kept appearing in his mind like weeds and he couldn't suppress it.
"She's dead. I killed her myself, and the quinque made from her kakuhou is my reward."
"Bang!!"
Lancer words instantly ignited Ken Kaneki's anger. Besides the one embedded in Lancer right shoulder, the other three kagune wrapped around Lancer from all directions, as if they wanted to flatten him and mold him. But unlike Jason, who lost his mind because of his anger, how could Lancer, who had been wary of the other party from the start, be so easily hit?
The long spear that was originally pierced into the other party's side abdomen was pulled out in a flash of blood, and then thrust fiercely towards Ken Kaneki's head. At the same time, he slammed his right foot onto the kagune and, using the strength of his body, suddenly yanked the kagune with his free left hand -
"Puchi~!"
The blood from the kagune being pulled out of his right arm was extremely dazzling, but it was quickly absorbed by the long spear in his hand as it flowed down his arm. It has to be said that this weapon made from Rize Kamishiro's kakuhou was truly terrifying, not only to the enemy, but also to the user.
But just as Lancer and Ken Kaneki were attacking each other, Ayato Kirishima, who had been ignored, could no longer hold back.
The weakling who appeared next to his sister annoyed him, but the investigator who discovered his sister's identity could not be left alive. And since he had made a decision, he put it into action.
Although Lancer strength was not bad, he still appeared very embarrassed when facing the attacks of two S-class ghouls. What was even more depressing was that the long spear in his hand had turned from black to blood red, which was a prelude to the energy stored in the spear running out.
And at this moment, Itsuki Marude's voice came from Lancer headset.
"Second Class Lancer! The main force has basically been transferred, you should also start to retreat!"
"Special Class Marude, I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I can't transfer for now."
"What's wrong?"
"I think I've encountered two Aogiri Tree cadres. I conservatively estimate that both of them should have the strength of S-class ghouls."
"Tsk~! Hold on, First Class Mado has already rushed over."
The conversation between Lancer and Itsuki Marude could not be hidden from the people present at all. Ayato Kirishima on the other side's face changed drastically. His originally blood-red kakugan widened, and the kagune that shot at Lancer sped up by two points.
After knocking away Ken Kaneki's kagune with a single shot, Lancer suddenly turned his spear to block a wave of Ayato Kirishima kagune. Then he pushed off the ground with both feet and rushed towards Ken Kaneki, while Ayato Kirishima didn't care and his strengthened kagune still enveloped the two of them.
There was no doubt that if he could kill Ken Kaneki at the same time as Lancer, he would be very happy.
For Lancer, there was no difference, but for Ken Kaneki, it instantly became extremely troublesome. With his ability, it was not difficult to suppress Ayato Kirishima, after all, ukaku was best at bursts of speed, but its own enhancement was very little, belonging to the standard high attack, low defense. But now, facing Lancer attack, he couldn't spare a hand, and the whole person suddenly became extremely frustrated.
But just as the three sides were holding each other back and Lancer was already considering whether to take advantage of the quinque's buff before it disappeared to launch a 'desperate strike' to kill Ayato Kirishima first, an interloper appeared again.
Just as Lancer and Ken Kaneki were entangled, a ghoul wearing a red robe and a strange mask jumped up from downstairs. Then, in everyone's incredible eyes, he grabbed Ayato Kirishima with a kagune.
"Bastard! Let me go! You bastard Noro, let me go!!"
Ayato Kirishima, who was grabbed, resisted frantically, and even a lot of kagune shot out from the kagune of the one called Noro, but strangely, the ghoul called Noro still didn't say a word. Just like his mask, the whole person exuded a strange aura. He simply grabbed Ayato Kirishima and then jumped out of the building.
'Not good!'
"Special Class Marude!! The Aogiri Tree cadres I was fighting have already retreated! They may be preparing to detonate the bombs! Please order everyone to evacuate! I'll also transfer immediately!"
"Good!"
After transmitting the information, Lancer turned his head to look at Ken Kaneki on the side. At this time, Ken Kaneki had also calmed down. Although he had only just escaped from the warehouse and came to the rooftop a few minutes ago, he naturally didn't know what had happened between the CCG and Aogiri Tree, but he did know what a 'bomb' was.
Logically, the most important thing for him to do now was to leave with the injured Touka Kirishima, but if he did so, he would undoubtedly confirm Touka Kirishima identity. But if he wanted to kill her to silence her, he definitely couldn't do it alone.
'What should I do?'
Ken Kaneki's life couldn't be said to be full of tragedies, but it was not far off. His mother left him early, and after that, he was passed around to various relatives' houses. He finally got into college and became independent, but was then attacked by Rize Kamishiro and ended up becoming a manufactured ghoul.
And for him, Touka Kirishima was a very special existence. When he was at a loss, she was the one who appeared in front of him. She brought him to the 'Anteiku cafe', and taught him how to live without attacking humans...
Then, in Lancer incredible eyes, the kagune behind Ken Kaneki fiercely attacked Touka Kirishima.
'What the hell?!'
Although he didn't know if Ken Kaneki had gone crazy, he still reflexively blocked in front of Touka Kirishima.
"Investigator! Get out of my way! That's... my food!"
Under Ken Kaneki's deliberate control, his voice was hoarse and low, making him sound extremely strange.
