: Prologue: The boy in **** (new book for collection)

Tokyo, nine districts.

This is a complex area. The living area of ​​human beings is the central point, while the periphery is surrounded by ghouls. It seems that humans are food for ghouls, but it is not. The CCG stationed here is not a small number of investigators, no matter what During the day or night, there are many search officers patrolling the streets and dutifully protecting the residents here.

Therefore, this is an extremely competitive area. Humans must be vigilant at all times and rely heavily on the protection of search officers. Search officers have to be highly vigilant, not only to protect humans, but to prevent themselves. Become a predator.

And another peculiar species living here, the Ghoul species, is to fill its own stomach. It must try its best to sneak into the human living area to hunt and kill. At the same time, it also needs to avoid the ubiquitous search officers, unless Its strength is strong enough to confront and even hunt down search officers!

It was night, the sky was full of neon, and the market was prosperous. The crowds all over the street were bustling with laughter and laughter. They looked very harmonious. However, the investigators in white trench coats interspersed in the crowd added to this harmonious picture. Feeling nervous!

"Huh!"

In the dark corner, a black shadow flashed by in an instant, and a man passing by the alley alone disappeared out of thin air, and even the surrounding crowd did not notice any abnormality.

Immediately, there was a burst of chewing in the depths of the alley, undetectable.

This is a male who is eating after a successful predation, with scarlet eyes, a sturdy body under tattered clothes, and blood splashing all over his face. There is no trace of elegance in the gobbled food.

There is no need to be elegant either, because in this dangerous place, being able to eat food is already a kind of luck, so how elegant is it? The truth is to live safely!

"There are ghouls there!"

A shout interrupted the Ghoul's eating, and the sound of rapid footsteps came from the alley, without even thinking about it, he was found by the investigator!

"Cut~ **** white dove!"

He licked his mouth in disgust, and once again smashed a large piece of meat from the corpse on the ground, then quickly stood up, bent his feet slightly, and made a strong leap, and he easily turned over the three meters high in front. The wall, escaped.

"Chew the seed and escaped, chase it!"

The speed of the search officer was very fast. Two men carrying white suitcases rushed over. They happened to see the back of the Ghoul escaping. They hurriedly pressed the button on the suitcase and took out the Kuink inside to help him cross the high wall. Pursue the Ghoul ahead.

The gloomy alley immediately returned to silence, and only the corpse was torn apart. The blood was still slowly spreading on the ground, and the pungent **** smell gradually filled the whole alley.

"Suck~~"

There was a slight inhalation sound from the trash can next to it.

"Kang Dang~"

The lid of the barrel was opened abruptly, and a small figure jumped out from inside, rushed to the corpse on the ground, and after a vigilant glance around, then he gobbled it up, ignoring the blood splashing on his own. Body.

This is a child about nine years old. His short, messy black hair is obviously not taken care of. The black shorts and shorts on his body are tattered like a little beggar, and his face and body are covered with black stains. , Some are dust, some are mud, and some... are dried blood.

Fortunately, this was a meal that no one interrupted.

After a long time, the squatting child slowly stood up, spitting out a small piece of phalanx from his mouth, and a trace of contentment appeared on the scruffy little face.

He hasn't tried the feeling of being full for a long time.

Turning to look at the outside of the alley, the people walking under the light were full of smiles, and the joyful conversations spread far into the children's ears, as if it were music from heaven.

however! The child turned around without hesitation and walked towards the depths of the dark alley.

If the outside world is heaven, then the inside of the alley is like hell, and he has lived in this **** from the moment he was born, and has been wandering and struggling alone in this **** since he was sensible. Now, everything is just for survival.

He didn't yearn for the heaven outside, even though it seemed within reach.

Because he doesn't know what yearning is, he only knows a little bit ignorantly, he belongs only to this hell, once he has the idea of ​​going to heaven, he will be greeted by death.

"Child, live!"

This gentle sentence with farewell lingered in his mind, lingering, he did not understand the meaning, but the beast-like intuition would tell him what to do to meet the requirements of this sentence.

Although the child himself does not know why he should follow this sentence.

"Ding! Absorb energy, 1 point."

The weird mechanical sound rang again in his mind, but the child had already learned to ignore it, because after many inquiries were fruitless, he stopped paying attention to it, even though his instinct told him that it was very important.

When the child was three or four years old, his parents were found and killed by the investigator. If the child was not hidden in time, the child would have died.

However, a three or four-year-old boy who is just beginning to be sensible, is in the stage of ignorance and ignorance, how can he survive in this hellish world alone?

This is the function of the voice in his mind. Whenever his life is in danger, that voice exerts its inexplicable power and sends out an energy shield that can rebound damage to protect the child. This makes him escape again and again. crisis.

But as the number of uses increases, its energy decreases, and the only way to absorb energy is to kill the life with your hands, or to eat the energy, which is simply to eat.

But where can young children have the ability to kill Ghoul? The investigator is not easy to mess with, so while unable to get energy supplement, he frequently uses energy to protect the child. Over time, the energy is used up, and in the end he can only rely on the child's own ability to survive!

Fortunately, the crisis has gone through a lot, and the child has also been honed with beast-like intuition, extremely agile speed, and the ability to hide breath, plus enough luck, so that he can survive to this day and gradually grow up. , Is no longer the child who was slaughtered at the beginning!

"Patter!"

The child’s agile figure fell gently on the ground and quickly sank into the shadows to hide his traces. This was his instinctive reaction after experiencing countless life crises. Only hiding in the dark can he better protect himself. .

"Suck~"

The nose moved slightly, the child gently sniffed the faint fragrance of blood in the air, his scarlet eyes looked towards the depths of the darkness, where there was what he needed!

With light steps, the child slowly approached, his vision became clearer, and there was a corpse lying on the ground not far away. It was the male who just ran away!

The corners of the child's mouth rose slightly. ..
