Nishio Leng's father is a member of an underground gang.She and her brother have been living underground since they were born.Later, when her father bought artificial meat, he took her and her younger brother to the ground for the first time.The sun hurt her eyes, but she couldn't get enough of anything.

An unprecedented, hot, bright orange round sun.

Unprecedented, rigid, square high-rise buildings.

Unprecedented, gray, crackling concrete floor.

Nothing has ever been seen.

Dad said that human beings are the food of ghouls. Fear, hatred, and exclusion of ghouls are just because human beings are too weak. Ghouls and humans cannot truly coexist harmoniously unless one side completely defeats the other.Ghouls shouldn't be near humans.

But Nishio Leng feels that the human world is much more comfortable than staying in the dark underground.There are beautiful billboards, shiny neon lights, smiling men and women in the store, and artificial meat can only be bought on the ground.

She didn't understand, if humans are weaker than ghouls, why do ghouls stay underground while humans stay on the ground?

Later, Dad died in the communion of the underground world.

Nishio Leng held his younger brother's hand, and using the household registration left by his father, he walked to the ground completely and never went back.

She works hard to support her younger brother to go to school, and doesn't want to follow her father's path.Humans do have hurtful parts, but there are also warm parts.Instead, it is a pure ghoul world, dark and cold.

Now she's going back underground again.

Her younger brother is about to enter university, and at the most critical moment, he is taken away by the hateful "Stars". What, let her think carefully.

As a sister, there is no way to watch.I asked the ghouls I knew around, and they knew it was underground, so they didn't want to go.

She had no choice but to offer a reward in the forum, hoping not to meet a member of "Star".

She doesn't remember that Nishio Nishiki knew a high school student from Sumida Ward.Maybe a bait?So she decided to see for herself.

If it was indeed a trap, she was familiar with the underground route, so she had hope of escaping.

If she really wanted to help, she would definitely offer more money than the reward amount to thank this high school student!

At noon, Kaneki Ken was sitting in the stairwell, having lunch with Ying.A senior from the literary club with him came over and said that a woman asked him to meet at the door of the barber shop near the school after school.

Seeing the narrow eyes of the senior, Jin Mu couldn't laugh or cry: "It's not what you think."

After the senior left, Ying stood up to move around, stuffed the bento box, and patted Kaneki on the shoulder: "Go back."

After school, Kaneki went to the barber shop as scheduled.

Nishio Leng's hair color was the same as Jin's, and his face was also similar. He stood at the door of the barber shop, waiting for someone, and Kaneki quickly recognized him.

He asked Guoying in advance not to get too close to him for the time being, and said a little bit about the information he encountered in the forum asking for help.Ying didn't say much, and told him to be careful.

Kaneki trusted the Nishio Nishiki he knew, but he didn't know what kind of situation Nishio Nishiki was in this world, and he didn't know what kind of person Nishio Nishiki's sister was.

He walked up to Nishio Leng alone: ​​"I am Kaneki Ken."

Nishio put his hands in his pockets coldly, looked around, and said, "Come with me."

They walked into winding alleys until they came to the point where the voices of people in the street were muffled.

Nishio Leng took out a stack of money and said first, "I will thank you for my brother first. I will give you a deposit of 10 yuan."

Kaneki scratched his head, but still accepted the deposit at Nishio Leng's insistence: "What happened?"

Nishio Leng obviously felt at ease, and his face relaxed: "The 'Underground Star' research institute has captured Jin, and his bag is needed there. If there is time, at least one life should be left. I have already investigated the route and information. .”

"what should I do?"

Nishio Leng took out a bracelet and something like a mobile phone and said, "This is the receiver, which is fixed on the wrist, and this is the transmitter. There is only one button on it. Press the button to send out ultrasonic waves. Feel the sound of ultrasonic waves in a specific frequency band. When the time comes, the receiver will vibrate. There is no mobile phone signal underground, and simple communication within a certain distance depends on this.”

Kaneki put on the bracelet and put away the transmitter.

She continued: "My plan is to go tonight. I will go to the research institute to find him—if there is still time. You go to the garbage dump of 'Underground Star' to guard him. Specifically, we will meet at the same place at eleven o'clock in the evening. Remember to disguise yourself when you come out, you are too small."

"Okay." Kaneki nodded thinking that the police/police patrolling at night would drive the minors home.

"If you find it, press it twice; if you can't find it after searching all over, press it three times; if you need to retreat in an unexpected situation, press it long. It's the same on my side."

At night, Kaneki was woken up by the alarm, got up and wiped his face, remembering what he had to do.

He put on an unremarkable tracksuit, a woolen cap that covered his eyebrows, and fastened his mask.The whole person has changed.There is nothing he can do about his skinny body like a minor, he intends to avoid the police/police, so as not to waste time in interrogation.

To the place where the day meets.Nishio tied his hair coldly, put on his hat, and glanced at him.

"it's me."

Nishio Lengsai gave him a map and said, "This is the underground route map I drew."

With the light of the mobile phone, Kaneki had no choice but to discover that Nishio Leng's painting skills probably belonged to the abstract school.The interlaced lines twisted and crawled all over the paper, making it difficult to distinguish the clues.

"can't read."

"...Okay. You follow me. When you split up, you walk along the road I pointed out, which is the garbage dump. Every morning, the research institute transports the ghouls to the garbage dump, and then disposes of them the next day. Sometimes The ghouls are still alive..."

Nishio paused for a moment, "... you look through the corpse, and wait and see, sometimes the cart to transport the new corpse is late. Although the mobile phone has no signal, but you can check the time, you can leave at four o'clock in the morning at most. If all goes well , Go back to the place where you split up and wait for me. If things go wrong, run for your own life. If you can’t remember the road map, try to go back the same way. The road to the garbage dump has been repaired, it is wider, and there is no fork in the road.”

Nishio Leng took Kaneki to the entrance of an open underground garage in a shopping mall, walked around the corner and stood in front of the wall.She squatted down and groped the ground carefully, found a thin rope, and pulled it open the trap leading to the ground.

Nishio Leng closed the trap, and the two climbed down the ladder. Kaneki and Nishio Leng exchanged positions and let her lead the way.

The sound of water droplets, the sound of two people breathing one after the other, the sound of footsteps clucking and clucking.

Walking down the solid road, walking down, gradually, the road under your feet becomes elastic, swallowing the sound of footsteps gently.

Stretch out your hand to explore the surroundings, the passage is about three people wide, the flesh/wall is solid, this is the remnant body left by the "dragon" of Nagara Jie, maybe there are other ghouls.

Compared with the underground world where Kaneki once lived, the roads are wide and open after a century of man-made development. Compared with it, the road here is tortuous, narrow, primitive and rugged.

Nishio Leng led the way, Kaneki carefully noted down the route he passed, and followed closely.

In the middle, I encountered ghouls who came to test me a few times, but was repelled by Kaneki.

They walked for a long time.Nishio stopped coldly, pointed to his right hand, and whispered, "Leave separately."

Kaneki gave a low "hmm" and walked past Nishio Leng to the direction she pointed.

In the garbage dump of the research institute, there is an area dedicated to piling up dying ghouls and corpses.

When Kaneki approached, he didn't hear the sound of the cart.There was a dead silence.The smell is pervasive and unpleasant.

He rummaged through it carefully, using the light of the phone screen to illuminate every distorted face, and looked up from time to time to pay attention to the movement around him.
