I, Hikigu, are contained by the evil god

"The situation has changed."

Duo Liang stretched out both hands to catch the phone, and looked at the text messages on it.

Duo Duo Liang thought out loud:

"When the association was cleaning up the ruins of Kaneki Ken's house, they unintentionally dug out a cave with an astonishing scale, and found a mysterious seal-shaped container from it, and transported it to the shelter of the Chiba County Association branch."

"This..." Duo Liang raised his head and looked at the woman in astonishment.

The woman shrugged, her tone much more relaxed than before.

"I think we can't go."

Duo Liang frowned, "Aren't we leaving?"

The woman took two steps back, let her back lean against the window sill in a more relaxed posture, and spread her hands:

"Why do you want to go? If you find something, the opportunity is right in front of you, isn't it?"

"However, the news came too abruptly and by coincidence. It appeared suddenly, and it just happened to let outsiders get wind of it... There is a [-]% possibility that it is the bait that lures us into the bait."

Tatara took a step forward, his voice was low, and there was some anxiety in his serious tone:

"I can even conclude that there must be heavy soldiers ambushing in the branch of the Chiba County Association, just waiting for us to take the bait."

"Well, but the caves are real, and so are the contents, aren't they?"

The woman shook her head, turned her head to look out the window, and let the wind blow the black hood around her face.

"They found a cave under Kaneki Ken's house. This is a fact. Our people saw with their own eyes that they dug the cave when they were clearing the ruins just now."

"If they are aware of the relationship between Kanekiken and us, then this is a trap. If they don't realize it, then this is not a trap. But whether it is a trap or not, if they don't find the real thing, they can't know that what we want is India. container."

"In other words, they really have a fake third seal, and it's in the branch of the Chiba County Association... Actually, knowing this is enough."

The woman's answer was simple and straightforward, she spread her hands, and her tone was taken for granted.

"Why do you want to climb the mountain? Because the mountain is there; why do you want to grab the third seal? Because the third seal is there; the most sufficient reason, isn't it already clearly placed there?"

"Besides, it doesn't have to be a trap... Be optimistic, how can they know what we want so quickly when they are not thinking?"

The woman's optimistic attitude and brisk tone did not affect Duo Liang, and he still had a serious face and his brows were tightly furrowed.

"But……"

"But……"

Duo Duoliang hesitated to speak, and was silent for a few seconds.

"Ok?"

The woman stood there, her whole body in the darkness wrapped in a cloak, tilting her head, blinking her eyes, watching him silent and struggling, waiting for him to speak.

"..."

The atmosphere fell into silence and contemplation, with only the sound of the wind outside the window, the sound of rinsing the leaves shaking, and the faint chirping of cicadas.

Finally, Tatara couldn't help but said:

"Anyone who underestimates the association must pay a painful enough price; even though the Kaneki-ken case seems to be an ordinary local case, can the information investigated by the association really be leaked so easily?"

"... We all know that the possibility of the Association leaking information unintentionally is too low, or in other words, there is no... And as long as it is a trap, the Association must be very well prepared. Gathering the entire Association's strength will kill it in one blow, and it will not Give us any chance."

"This is not a conspiracy. This is a conspiracy. They probably never thought of deceiving us. They have nothing to fear and want to see if we are willing to gamble for the fake third seal."

"However, for us, this is not a gamble at all, but a hopeless suicide."

"Oh."

"So," the woman said lazily, "what do you want to say?"

"..."

Tatara took a light breath, looked at the woman with mixed eyes of deep and gloomy,

To be honest, this is someone he has always looked at as his daughter, and he doesn't want her to die.

"...I want to say."

"I know that thing is important."

"However, knowing that it is a dead end, do you still want to go?

……

Chiba Prefecture, Narita City, the base of the county association branch, a building that appears to belong to a famous company, but actually belongs to the building owned by the association branch.

Due to some historical reasons, the address of the branch of the Chiba County Association was moved from Chiba City, the seat of the county government, the county center, and the county's economic, political, and cultural center, to Narita City, thus forming a branch of the Narita City Association in Narita City, and a The Chiba County Association branch at the upper level, the existence of these two branches.

This building is really magnificent. The 42-story building is not too tall, but its horizontal volume is extraordinarily large. It is very eye-catching in Narita, which is generally limited in height and lacks tall buildings.

The owner of this building seems to be a well-known big Japanese company, but behind the scenes, he is actually a super extreme.

Without any suspense, according to the tradition of the association, this pole also became the lackey of the association, and even handed over the hard-built building to become the headquarters of the Chiba County Association.

At this time, the building was brightly lit, illuminating the night sky in Narita, which seemed incompatible with today's cloudy night without moon and stars, dispelling some of the haze brought by the heavy night.

On the opposite side of the building, there is a much lower building with a height of five floors... This is the wartime headquarters for tonight, which can not only support the opposite side at any time, but also facilitate stable command and dispatch.

On the top floor of this building, on the fifth floor, Hikigu stood by the window, raised the curtains, looked at the splendid building opposite, and at the endless stream of people below.

——After a while, that building might look different, and the crowd flowing below would be immediately dispersed by the spell.

Bi Qigu said with emotion:

"Who would have thought that in the building opposite that looks like a strong business atmosphere, there are hidden elite agents equivalent to half of Japan's secrets?"

Tokyo, Hokkaido, Kyoto, Osaka... The elite headquarters dispatched by agents from various prefectures and counties have all arrived; a large number of elites dispatched by the Asian branch are also hiding in that building.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, strong men like clouds, strong men in the third stage are the main force, and there are several big figures in the fourth stage. Only the association can gather in one place in such a short period of time with this level of power.

——There is no doubt that they are enough to crush any existence that dares to provoke the association, and the ghouls are no exception.

"Will they really come? Will they really not realize it's a trap?"

Arima Kisho walked up to Hikigaya, pushed his glasses, "I can't overestimate the cunning of the ghouls for being able to endure and obey for so long, and fooling the entire secret world for so many years. "

"I know, but they will definitely come." Hikigu twitched the corners of his mouth,

"If my deduction is true, then as long as they can get the news, even if they guess it might be a trap, they will definitely come."

Arima asked Hikigaya in confusion, "Why? Are they stupid?"

"A fool is a man who thinks others are fools."

Hikigaya spread his hands, turned to look at Arima with deep eyes:

"Senior Arima, do you know the term sunk cost?"

"...How should I say it?" Arima thought for a while, and after confirming that he had never heard this word before, he asked aloud.

"Hey?"

Hikigu's deep eyes could not be maintained, and his expression froze for a moment... Although he asked that, he never thought that Arima would not know this term.

After all, this person looks quite powerful.

Arima kept his face indifferent, "When I hadn't graduated from elementary school, I followed Mr. Sakaski in the mysterious world."

"Ah, I see."

Hikiya nodded knowingly, it turns out that the aloof Arima-sama is actually a semi-literate...

Thinking so in his heart, Bi Qigu didn't show it on the surface, he explained patiently;

"Silent cost refers to the cost that has already been paid and is irrecoverable. Generally speaking, if you ask someone to help you with something and give him tens of thousands of yen, if he can't do it after receiving the money and says that you have to pay more, then you can give up to do this;"

"If you give him a few million yen, but he fails to do it after receiving the money, and says that he needs to add more money, then he will give him more money... because if you give up at this time, then you will give the few million that went out. The yen is all in vain, it is better to add some money, at least this matter will be done."

"When I say that, do you understand?"

Arima hesitated for a moment, and said in confusion, "A few million yen...is that a lot? Also, why do you need to ask others to do things?"

"This……"

Bi Qigu was momentarily at a loss for words.

That's right, Arima Kisho followed General Sakasky to walk secretly before graduating from elementary school. When he grew up, he became the ace agent of the Asia Society. Money and power, to him, aren't they all things that are readily available on the roadside?

Arima smiled faintly, and said to Hikigaya:

"However, I already understand what you mean, please continue."

"Huh? Hmm."

Bi Qigu let out a breath.

"It's the same with the ghouls. They gave up thousands of years of forbearance and caused a sensation in the entire mysterious world. They also paid the price that the whole clan was wanted by the association. The cost of sinking is too high. How should they feel?

"At this time, the news of the third seal reached their ears, even if it was an obvious trap..."

There was a smile on the corner of Hikigu's mouth:

"Do you think they will jump down willingly?"

"I see……"

Arima raised his head, his glasses reflecting slightly.

"Your control over people's hearts is truly terrifying."

"Where... just because I am the scum at the bottom, so I can best understand the thoughts of people who are also scum." Bi Qigu shook his head, "That's all."

"You're being humble again..." Arima shook his head, not paying attention to Hikigu's words, "Speaking of which, how did you come up with the idea of ​​transferring the third seal to this building?"

"Because even if we know that there are countless agents there, we can't really let the enemy know where the target is... The cost is too high, and we can't afford to bet on the ghoul's cards."

"Placing it here, it can avoid ghouls cleverly, and can observe the battle situation at any time. It's seamless. Why not do it?"

"Then I also build the wartime headquarters here, doesn't it matter?"

"It doesn't matter, there are seniors here, and it also adds another layer of insurance to the third seal."

"Okay." Arima nodded, turned and left, "Then you continue to watch, and I'll check everyone's status."

"Go slowly." Bi Qigu bowed and said.

Arima's figure disappeared at the door of the room, and the sound of footsteps gradually faded away.

Hikigu raised his head, looked out the door, and narrowed his eyes.

"..."

"Well……"

After a long time, Hikigu snapped his fingers with a "snap".

"Sure enough, I was thinking too much."

Turning around and looking out the window, Hikigu took out a lighter and a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, pulled out a cigarette, and pointed the tip of the cigarette at the lighter—

"Clap!"

The flame ignites the cigarette, and the smoke slowly rises.

Bi Qigu silently exhaled a puff of smoke ring, and let the gray smoke ring disperse with the wind, shattered and disappeared... He lowered his eyes and looked at the Vientiane lights outside the window,

"The show is about to begin."

……

After Duo Liang said that, the woman didn't answer him immediately, but turned around, quietly outside the window, waiting for Duo Liang to calm down from anxiety.

At this time, the woman quietly said:

"I think you got a question wrong."

We have no right to choose whether to live or die, to escape or to stay, to go or not to go. "

"Half an hour ago, we decided to go to sea...but since the appearance of the third seal, whether to run or not is no longer a problem for us to struggle with."

Outside the window, the dark clouds were blown away by the wind, and the tenacious moonlight shined on the earth through the dark clouds and came in through the window.

Facing out the window, the woman in black with her back to the room is petite but outlines her figure. The beauty under the moon is mysterious and charming. The cloak is blown by the wind, gently swinging, flying back and forth.

Her voice was three points perplexed, three points relaxed, and four points firm:

Disappointed for the bleak future, relaxed for not having to make a choice, and firm for my choice and my belief all the time:
