Chapter 407: So... Can You Please Not Overcomplicate Simple Problems?

Wei Bo: "A pessimistic world! I want to sympathize with the ghouls, but I can't bring myself to."

Wei Bo: "It's not that I lack compassion... but because! Because of the ghouls, I'm reminded of the Death Eaters in our world."

No... perhaps in terms of acceptance, I could even accept Death Eaters, but I cannot accept ghouls."

Tony Isn't the Richest: "Ah... yeah, it really is hard to accept!"

Tony Isn't the Richest: "This fucked-up worldview! Ghouls have human emotions and thoughts, even become best friends with humans! Yet they still feed on humans!"

I Am the Hou Jue: "Feed on humans... an interesting species!"

I Am the Hou Jue: "Fortunately, the one who joined this time isn't one of those... ghouls who kill humans purely for their own appetite."

I Am the Hou Jue: "If the one who joined really was a ghoul like Kaneki Ken, who kills humans just to satisfy hunger—"

Then I would certainly petition the Grand Lord for a Punishment Rune, to go to the Tokyo Ghoul world and kill this new member!"

I Am the Hou Jue: "I might even carry out a large-scale massacre of ghouls—kill as many as I can...!"

Hou Jue Wo Ban is usually moody, but he shows great tolerance toward society members."

But this time, facing the new recruit, he showed his disgust and rejection without mercy."

Xiao Tongtong: "Old Hou Jue, and everyone in the society... I'm devastated too after watching Tokyo Ghoul! But it's not this bad—we're all members of the society..."

One-Way Passage: "Hah... as expected, not surprising for a little girl! Your thoughts are truly naive."

Xiao Tongtong: "One-Way Passage, what do you mean by 'thoughts are truly naive'?"

One-Way Passage: "Because your world has no ghouls, you don't feel that... skin-deep pain, do you?"

One-Way Passage: "Imagine: your friend! Your family! Your teacher! One day they suddenly vanish... hunted by ghouls. What would your thoughts be?"

Xiao Tongtong: "..."

One-Way Passage: "Little girl! It's not that simple! Ghouls are humanity's natural enemies."

One-Way Passage: "Use a Chinese proverb: A dead enemy is a good enemy."

One-Way Passage: "I'm human. So if I were in that world, I'd join the human side without hesitation—kill as many ghouls as I can."

One-Way Passage: "It has nothing to do with good or evil! Nothing to do with pity! It's only for the race—for humanity."

Gao Ban Tongnai was utterly speechless."

Watching Tokyo Ghoul, from the ghoul's perspective, one naturally feels some pity for them."

But after hearing One-Way Passage's words, Xiao Tongtong realized and fell silent."

She is human."

To put it bluntly, humans are prey."

These days, there's no such thing as prey sympathizing with the hunter."

Even if the hunter's fate is truly tragic."

Symbol of Peace: "If I must say something, then it's the world's fault."

Symbol of Peace: "... Ah, my heart feels depressed. This is the first time I've seen a tragedy... and had no idea how to save anyone."

Symbol of Peace: "I'm not afraid of villains committing crimes before me, because I'll do everything I can to save those... who deserve saving."

Symbol of Peace: "But I don't know how to act against a dark world—I can't reverse a dark worldview."

Ou Er Mai Te felt powerless."

Let Me Be Your Father: "... So I told you! Older people just want to watch some peaceful slice-of-life anime."

Let Me Be Your Father: "Watching these memory copies ruins my mood."

Time Controller Xiao Mei Yan: "So this dark worldview... it's just as dark as Madoka Magica!"

Time Controller Xiao Mei Yan: "Su Xiao, is there really no solution?"

Su Xiao Xiao: "..."

Su Xiao Xiao: "Why do you assume there's no solution?"

Wudao Dong Xiang remained silent, saying nothing."

After watching Tokyo Ghoul and seeing the society's discussion, she became this silent."

The future never lacks tragedy, yet when she saw those... tragedies, though her heart twisted in pain, she felt no surprise at all."

Perhaps, for a ghoul, simply existing in this world is a sin."

She, and even everyone at the Antiques Café, had already made their resolve."

They had already made peace with dying at Bai Ge's hands."

But when she saw Su Xiao Xiao type that one line, Wudao Dong Xiang's heart ignited a flicker of flame."

Is there really a solution? Honestly, if there truly is no solution, then from today on, Wudao Dong Xiang will never enter this society again, never post again."

She will only strive, according to the spoilers, to save everyone at the Antiques Café, to rescue those... she wants to save."

But if there is one... "If the one saying this is a god who can foresee the future... then perhaps it's truly possible."

Quietly clenching her fists, Wudao Dong Xiang's eyes held anxiety, excitement, and a trace of confusion—like a condemned woman walking to the gallows."

Wudao Dong Xiang: "Grand Lord... or Divine One."

Wudao Dong Xiang: "Can it really be solved?"

Wudao Dong Xiang: "If the Divine One truly can solve it! I'll offer any reward—my life is no problem!"

If the conflict between humans and ghouls could be resolved, and this sorrowful world no longer felt so hopeless—"

Even if she had to give her own life, Dong Xiang would willingly do so."

Su Han, watching Wudao Dong Xiang's changed name, wore a thoughtful expression, finally realizing the true identity of the new ghoul recruit."

But regarding Wudao Dong Xiang's offer to sacrifice her life, Su Han pretended not to hear."

What use is offering your life? I'm not some demon god! Talking nonsense like that is worse than offering yourself in marriage."

Internally scoffing, Su Han continued posting in the society.

Su Xiao Xiao: "There must be a solution... don't rush."

Su Xiao Xiao: "So with so many big shots in the guild... at a time like this, you're all focused on discussing the deeper meaning of the work, debating the opposition between ghouls and humans, but have you considered how to actually solve it?"

TonyIsNotTheRichest: "... You could perform cellular dialysis to resolve it."

But obviously it won't be resolved in the short term."

TonyIsNotTheRichest: "By the way... ghouls violate Darwinian evolution principles—I suspect they're human-made humanoid weapons!"

TonyIsNotTheRichest: "With human-like appearance and emotions, the ability to consume humans, they could effortlessly solve supply issues on the battlefield... and they possess immensely powerful strength..."

SymbolOfPeace: "If viewed from this angle, the possibility is indeed high..."
