The Thin Grey Line_ Tokyo Ghoul

Chapter_17

(Akihiro Kanou P.O.V)

Akihiro Kanou was monitoring Yamori ‘testing session’ for specimen 240's endurance from the computer in his room. It's been three days since he left the boy in Yamori's care.

So far the boy hadn't bring out kagune and they had to force feed him as he refused stubbornly. Kanou had second thought if the boy really is a successful case, for the boy hadn't yet show ghoul characteristic aside from his incredible one ghoul eye.

Even now Yamori's torture only make the boy cry, plead for mercy and after sometime to kill him. Kanou think he had to step in soon if he don't want to loose 240 cause Yamori is enjoying too much.

 

 

“ Professor”

 

The voice from the guard had brought Kanou attention back.

The guard is a common low rank ghoul and he looks spooked.

“What's wrong? ”

“ Professor, CCG is here. They surrounded the building ”

“What? How did they know about this place? ”

“ I..”

“ Have you informed Yamori about this?”

“ No Sir, I didn't dare to interrupt him when he's.. ”

“ Nonsense! Go tell him we have to move quickly and also I need that boy alive with us.”

With a quick “Yes sir” the guard quickly go out from his sight.

“Fool” Kanou murmur.

«He was so closed to get his greatest creation. CCG can't interfere his work again.»

«The White Suits will keep the CCG busy for a while. In that time he need to transfer the datas and erased the evidence. »

It was when Kanou had almost finish erasing the paperwork, he heard it from the computer monitor.

The boy snapped.

He pounced on Yamori from the chair he had been placed, breaking the iron chains that were restringing him. He bit Yamori's neck while holding it with both his hands in a death grip.

No matter how Yamori struggle or punch or stab him couldn't make 240 off him. And when Yamori finally managed, throwing the boy away from him, the boy lay in there, chewing the flesh in his mouth. His body shake as if he is having a seizure.

Then unbelievable things happened.

Two large black tentacles resembling centipedes emerged from his back and a beak-like structure cover his head.

And he attack Yamori.

« How's that possible? » Kanou thought.

« A kaguja. But they didn't give him ghoul's meat. So how's that boy become one?»

But those are question for latter as the boy is now lose control. His kagune was going wild, thrashing about and hitting the opponent mercilessly.

The other ghouls rush into the the room but thet they too were shock and scare to interfere. For the sight of infamous Jason being eaten alive by a deranged ,specimen 240 turned, ghoul was too much for them.

But soon the ghoul abandoned his death meal and attack the new commer.

There were many shouts, struggling sonds and battle roars as they fight. But the newly turn kaguja was inhumanly fast and strong. Leaving body after body behind him.

Kanou know if he don't want to end up as a meal like others he have to do something quickly as from the computer monitor he can see that the ghoul was slaughtering his way to him.

So he rushed to his lab and prepare the chemical mixture.

Set it in a way that it will trigger fire after he left. Then he escape from the underground path.

« The most important thing now is his survival. If his prized creation managed to survived all this he will recollect him later.»

One week later in 20th ward,

 

Nishio Nishiki is on his way back home from the department store. He got accepted by Kamii university so he he now need new clothing and accessories that will make him look like normal 18 years old.

«If only his sister could see him»

«She would be proud» he think as his sadness and anger for her unfair death emerge again.

«If ony I was stronger and faster.... »

But the voice break his chains of thought.

Nishiki's head shot up when he heard several voices screaming from an alley one block down. He took to the rooftops, running over buildings till he stood over the alley the screams were emanating from.

His eyes widened when he looked down.

There was a strang ghoul with centipede-like kague that was attacking and killing ghouls. He « Nishiki think it's a he from the appearance » was killing defenseless low rank ghoul from the street, leaving the corpses behinds. He is now cornering another, an old man , as the man beg to spare his life.

 

Nishiki jumped down and landed in front of the ghouls, standing defiantly against this stranger. He had arrived just as he was about to ripped that poor man's head off. There was no way in hell he was going to allow this freak to continue. Nishiki is not a stranger to ghoul killing ghoul. « Men, he too kill for food and territory » And he is not a person that easily sympathize with other to help.

But this crazy ghoul has enough. His killing will bring unnecessary attention to 20th ward.

"Who are you and what the HELL do you think you're doing!?" Nishiki shouted.
