Chapter 117

Su Xiao returned to the bedroom of the temporary branch. He and Kishou Arima agreed to set off in ten hours.

Having gone deep into the 24th Ward for more than ten hours before, and being injured during the fight, made him somewhat exhausted.

Not to mention that after arriving at the ghoul detention center, it would definitely not be calm. He wasn't going to the ghoul detention center just to escort Eto Yoshimura.

So in these ten hours, he had to rest, at least sleep for a while.

After taking a hot shower, Su Xiao lay on the bed refreshed. He suddenly remembered that the blue treasure chest dropped by Kaneki Ken hadn't been opened yet.

Things had been happening one after another before, and he didn't have time to open the treasure chest dropped by Kaneki Ken.

Regarding Kaneki Ken's treasure chest, Su Xiao didn't have high expectations.

Although the treasure chest was of blue quality, Kaneki Ken's strength wasn't strong, and he wasn't the type of protagonist who was a child of destiny.

More importantly, his 'Soul of the Great Chieftain' was also about to play a crucial role.

Taking out Kaneki Ken's treasure chest, the palm-sized treasure chest emitted a brilliant blue light, as if it were carved from sapphire.

【Open treasure chest (Blue)?】

Choosing to open it, the flash he expected didn't appear.

【You opened the treasure chest (Blue)】

【You obtained 3,000 Paradise Coins,】

【You obtained 300 Paradise Coins.】

【You obtained 1,000 Paradise Coins.】

【You obtained Fate Coin.】

【Fate Coin】

Quality: Blue

Type: Consumable.

Usage Effect: After use, a random judgment will be made, granting one of thirty effects such as 'Calamity', 'Great Luck', 'Death Omen', 'Life Recovery', etc.

Hint: The probability of granting a buff effect is 50%, and the probability of a debuff effect is 49%.

Hint: The granted effect lasts for 30 minutes.

Score: 32 (Note: Blue item score is 30 to 70. The higher the score, the more precious the item.)

Brief: Fate is unfathomable. Good luck or bad luck? Or perhaps...

Price: 1 Paradise Coin.

Opening Kaneki Ken's treasure chest, he obtained a total of 4,300 Paradise Coins. From this point of view, it was not bad.

As for the 【Fate Coin】, Su Xiao was somewhat confused about this thing.

Judging from the literal meaning, after using this thing, one could obtain a random effect, but the sum of buff and debuff effects was 99%, and there was 1% of unknown effects.

Su Xiao subconsciously resisted this thing. He planned to sell it to a 'fated person'. After all, it was a blue item and should be able to sell for a good price.

After opening Kaneki Ken's treasure chest, Su Xiao fell into a deep sleep. He vaguely had a feeling that he didn't know when the next rest would be.

Don't know how much time passed.

"Knock, knock, knock..."

A knocking sound came. Su Xiao, who was in a deep sleep, sat up immediately, his hand on the hilt of the Checking Zhan Long Shan beside him.

"Who?"

"It's me."

Kishou Arima's voice came from outside the door. Su Xiao put away Checking Zhan Long Shan and got out of bed to open the door.

"Has ten hours already passed? Ha~."

Yawning, Su Xiao dressed neatly and washed up. Under conditions that allowed it, he was a clean person.

"It's already been twelve hours. Eto Yoshimura was not lightly injured by you, so I delayed the time a bit.

There is one more thing: someone wanted to sneak into my room."

Su Xiao's heart tightened. Could someone have seen through their plan? In an instant, he thought of another possibility.

"Akira Mado?"

"Yes."

As expected, Akira Mado still made a move. But with Kishou Arima there, Akira Mado didn't even have the possibility of approaching Eto Yoshimura.

"Let's go. It's time."

The three drove straight to the ghoul detention center in the 23rd Ward. Eto Yoshimura was arranged in the back seat, wearing hand and foot shackles made of Quinque steel.

Half an hour later, the three arrived at the ghoul detention center.

As a ghoul prison, the ghoul detention center had many investigators stationed there, and a wall more than ten meters high was built around it.

Although the ghoul detention center didn't look very tall from the outside, it had been hollowed out very deep underground. The whole building was almost built underground to prevent ghouls from breaking out of prison.

The vehicle drove to the main gate of the ghoul detention center and was immediately stopped by the guard.

"Please show your identification."

Although the guard recognized Kishou Arima, he checked the identification meticulously.

After confirming that the identification and the approval documents were all fine, the guard let them pass, and the vehicle slowly drove into the courtyard of the ghoul detention center.

"This damn place, sooner or later I will destroy it."

Eto Yoshimura clenched her fists, and her breathing became heavy.

The three got out of the car. Su Xiao and Kishou Arima escorted Eto Yoshimura toward the building where the 'ghoul detention center' was located.

"Special Class Arima, long time no see."

A clean-shaven elderly investigator with long, light yellow hair and some baldness greeted them.

"Special Class Itsuki Marude, long time no see."

Itsuki Marude was the warden of the ghoul detention center, managing everything here. This elderly investigator used to be quite strong, but due to his old age and a significant decline in physical function, he was assigned to be the warden of the ghoul detention center.

It was rare to see a Special Class Investigator who lived to old age and was assigned to manage the ghoul detention center, which showed that Itsuki Marude's relationship with the CCG high command was not simple.

Itsuki Marude glanced at Su Xiao indifferently and didn't speak, just leading the way in front.

This guy seemed to be a member of the power faction and somewhat snobbish. Su Xiao's Associate Special Class position didn't seem to catch his eye.

Su Xiao chuckled lightly and followed Itsuki Marude into the ghoul detention center while escorting Eto Yoshimura.

To enter the ghoul detention center, one first had to take a very long elevator deep underground.

None of the four spoke in the elevator.

The elevator door opened, and several people walked out of the elevator. The interior of the ghoul detention center was cylindrical. The central position was the elevator Su Xiao took, as well as the control room and other departments. The surrounding four walls were prison cells for ghouls, divided into many levels. In front of each level of prison cells was a path with metal railings on the edge. Each level had stairs going up and down, and many steel floating bridges crossed in the middle, almost linking the entire ghoul detention center together.

Most of the buildings in the entire ghoul detention center were made of metal, giving people a cold feeling.

"Special Class Itsuki Marude, has the Quinque manufactured by headquarters for me been completed?"

Su Xiao suddenly spoke. Yoshitoki Washuu had promised before that after he assisted Arima, he would be able to see the Quinque.

The CCG's Quinques were all manufactured by Dr. Chigyo, who happened to stay in the ghoul detention center all year round, where there were a large number of 'experimental materials'.

Hearing Su Xiao's question, Itsuki Marude's footsteps paused, and his eyes were somewhat gloomy.

"Not yet. It will take at least half a month."

"Hmm?"

Su Xiao's eyes narrowed. This guy might be deliberately making things difficult for him. This was Yoshitoki Washuu's lackey. Half a month later, he would have already returned to the Reincarnation Paradise.

"As far as I know, the manufacture of a Quinque seems to take at most 27 hours. Special Class Itsuki Marude, is there any accident?"

Kishou Arima spoke up, because he knew that if he didn't speak at this time, the situation would be very bad.

Kishou Arima's attitude made Itsuki Marude stunned, and he secretly pondered the relationship between the two. He couldn't afford to offend Kishou Arima. Although both were Special Class, their statuses were vastly different. After all, the other party was a member of that organization.

"There was an accident during production, and it is being repaired in the culture medium. I was also worried that the quality of that Quinque would be damaged.

If you don't care whether it's damaged or not, you can go to the laboratory to get it after imprisoning the One-Eyed Owl. The laboratory is on the seventh basement level."

Itsuki Marude's tone changed, from the original half-month time to being able to get it at any time.

Perhaps Yoshitoki Washuu had explained something, and this guy was deliberately making things difficult for Su Xiao, but Kishou Arima's speaking up made this snobbish old guy not want to offend Kishou Arima.

"Let's imprison the One-Eyed Owl first. This is the most important thing."

Itsuki Marude emphasized again, looking at Eto Yoshimura with some greed. The Quinque he was currently using was still S+ level, and he had a chance to obtain an SSS-level ghoul organ from the other party.

After all, a Kakuja has multiple Kakuhous, and stripping one out alive shouldn't be a problem for the higher-ups.

Soon, several people arrived at the dangerous ghoul detention area. As soon as Su Xiao walked in here, Checking Zhan Long Shan appeared in his hand.

"Puchi."

The long sword pierced through the heart. Itsuki Marude looked at the tip of the sword protruding from his chest in disbelief. The tip of the sword had been dyed light red.

"This is~, what, happened."

Itsuki Marude fell to the ground, blood seeping out under him. Under this sudden attack, this Special Class Investigator didn't even have a chance to react, not to mention he was already too old, so old that he was killed in seconds by Tatara in the original work.

"Kaba."

Eto Yoshimura's shackles were unlocked, and the operation began.
