These 'Original Species' came from there. Our task is to drive these 'Original Species' back into that well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing Yuma Kishin's description, Su Xiao’s expression seemed to say, 'Are you kidding me?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were at least several thousand 'Original Species' in the underground city. Not only would fighting them be impossible, but even exposing their position right now would mean certain death for both of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yuma, good luck.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao patted Yuma Kishin on the shoulder and turned to leave; his decisive attitude left Yuma Kishin stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you defying the Bureau's orders?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuma Kishin spoke slowly, without any hint of threat, as if testing something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am a searcher, yes—but I won’t carry out a mission that guarantees my death.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing Su Xiao’s answer, Yuma Kishin’s eyes narrowed slightly, revealing an unusual glint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Defying the Bureau’s orders usually results in expulsion—but the situation here is different. If we don’t complete this task, our deaths await us the moment we return to the surface.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao stopped walking and looked at Yuma Kishin. Today, Yuma Kishin seemed unusual—but Su Xiao couldn’t pinpoint why, only a gut feeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you mean?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you think these ghoul creatures here are normal? Most searchers will never even see an Original Species.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I’m not mistaken, your mission was to reinforce me. The Bureau assigned you one or two Special Class searchers—was it Kuroiwa Iwa? Anpu Seiko? Or perhaps Marute Saji? Others are unlikely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuma Kishin had always been deep within District 24. He’d spoken to Su Xiao once by phone, then lost contact due to no signal underground—yet he’d correctly guessed which Special Class searchers the Bureau had sent to District 24. Su Xiao refused to believe this was coincidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you getting at?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You must complete this mission. Absolutely must. If you survive and return to the surface, pretend nothing happened. Remember—even if you’re unwilling, you must feign compliance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao stared at Yuma Kishin, weighing whether he could be trusted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the original story, Yuma Kishin always appeared obedient to Kishin Washi, like a mere pawn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now it seemed clear: Yuma Kishin was no one’s 'gun.' He likely knew many of CCG’s secrets—and if he disobeyed, he’d be eliminated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Answer me one question: if I return to the surface now, who will Washi send to kill me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuma Kishin exhaled slowly, as if he’d just been scrutinizing Su Xiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ghouls.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two simple words, yet revealing far too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What if we two refuse together?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao still didn’t know if Yuma Kishin could be trusted—he was probing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If we work together, we have a chance to survive—but after that, we’ll face overwhelming pursuit. Your enemies will be beyond anything you can imagine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence. Long silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around them, only the occasional low growl of an 'Original Species' broke the utter stillness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Trying to drive these ghouls away with just the two of us is suicide. We need another plan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuma Kishin’s earlier demeanor had been a subtle overture of alliance. After Su Xiao said, \"What if we two refuse together?\" Yuma Kishin showed no anger or loyalty to CCG—he directly answered Su Xiao’s question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neither knew if the other could be trusted. They could only test each other subtly, unintentionally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One point Yuma Kishin had mentioned, Su Xiao found plausible: if they failed this Bureau mission, even returning to the surface would bring danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao now understood CCG better—and his strength was extraordinary. CCG might intend to mold him into a second Yuma Kishin: a \"obedient\" gun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuma Kishin’s attitude toward CCG was feigned obedience. He was planning something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao sighed. He’d only watched two seasons of the ghouls anime; he hadn’t read the manga afterward, learning about the ghouls world only through fragments on forums.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made him resolve: when he returned to the real world, he’d binge-watch everything—massive binge-watching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Binge-watching wasn’t for entertainment—it was for intelligence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuma Kishin lifted his Quinque case and, unusually, smiled—as if he’d just understood something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We need a plan. My idea is this...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuma Kishin detailed his plan: simple—use fresh flesh as bait to attract the surrounding Original Species.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The trust crisis was temporarily resolved—but a new problem arose: where to find fresh flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s leave here first. We can’t do anything here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao scanned the surrounding Original Species—only a few. As long as they were careful, they wouldn’t be detected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What were you doing here all along?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Su Xiao found Yuma Kishin, he was crouched on the roof.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cough~ Dehydration and hunger left me weak. I was resting here temporarily.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s leave first. We need to find the bait.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuma Kishin looked slightly embarrassed—being too weak from hunger to even die properly was humiliating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carefully avoiding the Original Species, both moved with exceptional skill. If it came to stealth, Su Xiao was even better than Yuma Kishin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaping across the steel rooftops, they soon reached the entrance to the underground city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao and Yuma Kishin gave a signal to Shinato Akira and Shichizo to hold position, then entered the tunnel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fresh flesh to be used as bait had to be found within the underground tunnels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After entering the tunnel, Su Xiao exhaled. It felt like the mute button had been lifted—he could speak normally again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yuma, do you know the route? Won’t we get lost?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuma Kishin shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No. After the central city’s upheaval, all the ghouls in the control room fled. The Original Species can’t operate the control room’s machinery.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed Yuma Kishin knew the underground city of District 24 well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Su Xiao’s confusion, Yuma Kishin continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The central city is this underground city. It’s Tokyo’s largest ghoul settlement—most ghouls live here, just as humans live on the surface.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Explaining the control room is complicated. Simply put, it’s one of the most important buildings in the central city—it controls District 24’s flesh walls, causing them to shift constantly. That’s why we get lost in the underground tunnels.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuma Kishin revealed a secret: District 24 beneath Tokyo was a city inhabited by ghouls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Humans lived on Tokyo’s surface; ghouls lived beneath it. A strange balance had been maintained—only CCG could uphold this order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to Su Xiao, this order felt twisted. Humans and ghouls were mortal enemies—they couldn’t coexist. Why had CCG forced them to live together?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao now confirmed one thing: CCG did not exist to protect humans—or the truth was far more terrifying than he imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>",1091,"2026-06-19T23:49:42.795Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","fe94e7ba40ec1e045c7309e8476698f738ee204ff1ca1d37b6f3d5992cc9f1d4","paradise-of-reincarnation-chapter-109","paradise-of-reincarnation-chapter-107",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fparadise-of-reincarnation-cover.jpg"]
