[Lord Gintama] Overlooking the Throne

Darkness stretches as far as the eye can see.

Kaneki Ken walked numbly in the silent darkness, his limbs didn't seem to be his own, and he had already stopped thinking in his head, just kept walking aimlessly.

Why is he here?

When will he go again?

I don't know... My mind is full of messy things, I can't figure out anything, and I don't know anything.

"Jin Mu-jun..."

"Golden Wood..."

"Hey, wait a minute, Jin Mu-kun."

Kaneki...are you calling him?

Kaneki Ken stopped in his tracks, and casually glanced at a point in the darkness with empty eyes, out of focus.

who's that person?

The purple-haired woman wrapped her body around his body softly and put her mouth against his ear, whispering something softly.

Ah, it's Miss Lee World.

What was she talking about...why couldn't he hear anything?

Ken Kaneki looked numbly at Kamdai Toshi, who tilted his head, looked at him for a while, with a treacherous smile on his face, then let go of his hand, and blended into the darkness little by little.

Immediately afterwards, the scene in front of me changed, the setting sun was like blood, drowning everything in a vast blood red, the sound of the swing sounded alone, and the clothes of the girl sitting on the swing were flying, as if she was about to fly away Butterfly.

As if she noticed that someone was looking at her, the girl turned her head, a pair of beautiful light purple eyes looked at him without blinking, as if she could read people's hearts.

"Miss Jingu..." He murmured, the girl smiled, bright and gentle, she also said something, but couldn't hear clearly, no matter what.

"What does Miss Jingu want to say?" He wanted to ask, but he opened his mouth and didn't say a word.

The girl lowered her eyelids in disappointment, then stood up, turned around and left, the setting sun stretched the girl's figure very long.

The darkness swept in, like a monster with its mouth swollen with blood, trying to swallow the girl's frail figure.

"Shen Gong!" Ken Kaneki, who suddenly reacted, called the girl to catch up, and when his outstretched hand was about to touch the girl's shoulder, the girl suddenly stopped and turned around slowly.

His pupils dilated, and his body stiffened in place, unable to move.

The girl in front of her was wearing a silver-white half-mask, revealing light purple eyes that were charming and cold. She tilted her head and looked at him, her long purple hair slipped down her shoulders like water, and there was something confusing in her mind for a moment. However, the chaos and chaos disappeared before he could grasp them. The sudden fear gripped his breath tightly. When he was oppressed by the fear and took a step back subconsciously, the girl gently raised her arms. With his right hand, he pointed behind him, with an undisguised mocking smile in his eyes.

"Kim, so you're here."

Finally heard, it is a friend, the most simple and sincere greetings.

"Ying!" Heaved a sigh of relief, Kaneki Ken turned his head back with a smile, and then the smile froze on his lips.

The boy with his head bowed, his orange hair covered his facial features, blood dripped down his empty sleeves, he slowly raised his head... what a face that was beyond recognition face? !

"Ying, why—"

Before he had time to ask, he was suddenly interrupted by the young man. With a ferocious smile on his face, the young man who rushed over grabbed him by the shoulder with the only bone-bone hand left, and went crazy over and over again. Shouting: "Kaneki, we are friends...why..."

"Why, you want to eat me? You monster!"

monster? !

No, no, he's not a monster, he, he's—

"Ah——" Kaneki Ken, who woke up from the nightmare, gasped heavily. He couldn't help recalling the dream just now. His stomach acid surged, and he hurriedly supported the bedside table and fell off the bed. Beside the embarrassing retching.

He... he ate Ying?

No, no, he couldn't have done that.

Ying is his friend, his most important friend!

Unable to control his emotions, Ken Kaneki punched the locker next to him, and the things on it shook and fell down.

The sound of glass shattering, crisp and monotonous, made Kaneki Ken slightly sober.

It was an exquisite photo frame, and now it has been smashed to pieces, and the photos inside have also fallen out.

There were obvious signs of pasting on that photo. There were three people in the photo. Unexpectedly, he had seen two of them.

Kamdai Rise and Jingu Ryo.

The Goddai Lishi in the photo is still similar to the Lishi he saw, with a proud and impatient look, but in the end he let the person who took the photo finish taking the picture.

But the Ryo Jingomiya in the photo was much different from the person in his impression.

At that time, the girl could only be regarded as a little girl, but she looked about twelve or thirteen years old, with shoulder-length short purple hair, wearing a dirty white kimono, and looked at the front with a blank expression.

Looking at the photos, Jingong Ryo at that time felt like a cold and difficult person... In short, it was completely different from the gentle look now.

"You broke other people's things casually, Jin Mu-jun, you are really rude."

Just when Kaneki Ken was puzzled, the girl's voice suddenly sounded, clear and leisurely, with a bit of habitual carelessness.

"...I'm sorry, Miss Jingu." Apologetically, he looked at the purple-haired girl who suddenly appeared at the door at some point, looked around, and later realized that this was not his house at all. , directly ignored the question, and asked urgently, "Where's Ying?"

"Who knows." It was an ambiguous answer. The girl walked over, ignoring the shards of glass on the floor, knelt down and picked up the photo on the ground, and under Ken Kaneki's surprised eyes, casually threw it into the wastebasket beside her.

"..." I didn't have time to pay attention to the girl's strange behavior. After seeing the girl standing up, Kaneki Ken hesitated for a moment, and then asked cautiously, "Yinghe... is he still alive?"

Shinobu turned to look at him.

Although the handsome young man in front of him had tried his best to keep calm, his frowning eyebrows still revealed his inner struggle and remorse.

"Probably." She propped her chin with her index finger pretending to think, the girl looked at Kaneki Ken who was worried about her friend, and suddenly felt extremely bad negative emotions.

Half-closed her eyelids, and suppressed the unbelievable venomous light in her pupils. When she raised her eyes again, the girl had recovered her usual kindness and tenderness, but the words she said in her usual gentle tone were full of With a bit of aggression: "Hey, Mr. Jin Mu, do you really regard Mr. Yongjin as your friend?"

"Of course Ying is my friend!" Kaneki Ken said firmly in an undeniable tone, remembering Yongjin Yingliang who always deliberately distracted his attention and made him happy when he lost his mother when he was young.

"Then why do you want to eat him?"

"..." Unable to refute, Jin Muyan froze there, unable to speak for a long time.

He wants to eat Ying?

Yes, he has become very strange since he was transplanted by that doctor with the internal organs of Shendai Lishi.

Not humans, not ghouls.

Moreover, when he turned into that terrifying appearance, he only had the thought of "eat him, eat him, eat him".

He's a...monster.

"Because you have become a ghoul." Ken Kaneki didn't answer, Ryo Jingomiya didn't care, he answered on his own, walked over, stretched out his hand, and put the palm of his hand on Kaneki Ken's right eye, "What kind of world does your Heyan... see? Cruel, ferocious, cold-blooded, or does it make you feel disgusting? But, you broke into this world without authorization."

"..."

"I think it's too late to regret it." The girl whispered the devilish words gently, the girl took a step back, her skirt fluttered, like a white daisy in full bloom, in front of Sen Leng's grave, large swathes of it were blooming in full bloom, obviously It is very beautiful, but it only makes people feel a chill in the bottom of their hearts. It is so cold, she smiled, stretched out her hand and said softly, "Instead of complaining about yourself and rejecting your own destiny, it is better to accept it calmly. Come with me. Jin Mu-jun, let me show you what a ghoul is."

"Ah, I got dumped."

In the follow-up of that day, Jin Muyan gave her a look in disbelief, and then ran away from him in a hurry.

For many days after that, when I mentioned this matter to my old acquaintance Akane Miura, Jingu Ryo's reaction was always such a flat sentence.

"Kaneki-kun is a good person." Akane Miura, who was sitting opposite Jingong Ryo in the stable area, said while adding sugar cubes to the coffee, "Don't drag him into the water."

He kept looking at Kaneki Ken until he hid in the backstage in embarrassment, then Ryo Jingomiya held his chin and said in a bored tone: "How can I, his kind of innocent guy is in the world of ghouls. He's not going to live long, if I don't help him, maybe someday he'll be turned into Quinke by some kind of ghoul investigator."

"Come on." Akane Miura didn't take it seriously, "Thank God you didn't make any trouble. Kaneki Ken knew you, and it really is his bad luck for eight lifetimes."

"Well, that's also..." Nodding, Ryo Jingomiya unexpectedly agreed with what Akane Miura said, but after a pause, she couldn't help but argue, "But he's really naive, and It's stupid, if Touka Kirishima hadn't been troublesome to save him before, he would have been eaten by that fellow Yue trainee."

"Then what's your business?" Akane Miura asked, she pursed her lips in Jingu Ryo's rare long silence, and said after a long time, "Hey... Xiao Ryo, you... don't you think that Rishi is still alive? ?”

"Yeah, yeah." Ryo Jingomiya curled her lips and was speechless, "I think Sister Lishi is still alive, and Jin Mu-kun is the carrier of Sister Lishi's life in this world, so I have to work hard to protect him, my dear Miura Sister, are you still satisfied with this character setting full of youthful glory?"

"No..." Shaking her head, Akane Miura looked at Ryo Jingomiya with a serious face, "You are a big villain, so just treat what you said just now as my nonsense."

"..."

"However, what I said next is not nonsense." Putting down the coffee spoon in her hand, Akane Miura sighed, looked out the window at the dense night like splashed ink, fell silent for a while, and then said softly, "Someone said I saw a ghoul wearing a silver half-mask in the tenth district, a black Jiahe, and the description looks very similar to that person..."

"Miura." Instead of using the intimate "Sister Miura", she saw the girl's expressionless face when Akane Miura was stunned, "Stop talking, he is already dead."

"But..." Akane Miura frowned, she hesitated to speak, but she still couldn't speak.

Suddenly, Akane Miura thought of Ryo Jingu, who was far less gentle and pleasant than she is now, and did not know how to be flexible, so she suffered a lot many years ago.

That...hasn't encountered that incident yet, hasn't turned into the cold-blooded and numb Ryo Jingu as he is now.
