Chapter 50 Bet
Chapter 50 Bet
"Everyone, Bai Ge will be our new companion from now on."
The downstairs lobby in Anding District.
After Bai Ge agreed to join Anding District, Fangcun Gongshan called everyone who was still in the store down and formally introduced Bai Ge to everyone, and also introduced everyone to Bai Ge.
Naturally, everyone welcomed the newcomer who was personally invited by the store manager. After all, one more person means more strength.
Of course, not everyone thinks this way. Take Kaneki, for example, who feels like the sky is falling.
He really couldn't accept that the patient and book friend who had chatted with him happily in the hospital was also a ghoul.
After all, deep down in his heart, Kaneki still considers himself a human being, and he only hangs out with ghouls out of necessity.
Bai Ge, who was standing next to Yoshimura Kousen, felt Kaneki's puzzled and panicked gaze and waved at him.
"Nice to meet you again, Kaneki. I heard from the store manager that we are of the same kind. Please take good care of me in the future."
While speaking, Bai Ge showed his one eye to Kaneki and everyone without any hesitation.
When people saw Bai Ge's one eye, their reactions varied.
Touka subconsciously curled her lips. She just hoped that this one-eyed man was not a weak guy like Kaneki.
Irimi Kaya's reaction was not big, but Furuma Ener smiled and teased Kaneki.
"That's great, Kaneki. Hakuka has one eye just like you, so you two will definitely have a lot of common topics."
"Of course, Senior Furuma. Kaneki and I are very good book friends." Bai Ge replied on behalf of Kaneki.
"Yes, that's right." Kaneki nodded with a forced smile, but in his heart he still couldn't accept the fact that Shiraka was a ghoul.
Especially since they were book friends and both liked Takatsuki Izumi's works. Although he knew that Bai Ge would definitely not hurt him, the shadow left by Rize was too big to be eliminated in a short time.
"Big Brother, do you like Mr. Takatsuki Izumi's books too?"
Hinami, who had been silent on the side, heard that Bai Ge was also a fan of Takatsuki Izumi, and immediately became interested in Bai Ge.
"Of course." Bai Ge nodded, walked over to Hinami, squatted down and smiled, "Hina, do you like Takatsuki Izumi's work too?"
"Yeah!" Hinami nodded vigorously at first, then revealed a troubled expression: "It's just that there are a lot of Chinese characters in Mr. Takatsuki's book, and Hinami doesn't recognize them all yet, so it's a little difficult to understand."
"But it doesn't matter. Kaneki-san has been teaching Hinami to read. I believe it won't be long before Hinami can finish reading Mr. Takatsuki Izumi's book on her own!"
"Oh, Hinami is really hardworking." Bai Ge patted the little girl's head. "How about this, when Hinami can finish reading a book by Takatsuki Izumi on her own, I'll give you a signed copy of her book."
When Hinami heard that Bai Ge was going to give her a signed book by Izumi Takatsuki, stars suddenly appeared in her big eyes.
"Really? Thank you, big brother! Hinami will try her best!"
"Of course, big brother, why would I lie to Hinami? How about we make a pinky promise?"
"Yeah! Pinky promise!"
Given the relationship between Bai Ge and Takatsuki Izumi, let alone getting a signed book, even asking Little Red Riding Hood to take a set of signed photos would not be a problem.
Of course, Bai Ge would definitely not do that. After all, to him, that thing is not much different from a picture of food.
When everyone saw that Bai Ge had dealt with Hinami right away, they knew that he must be a gentle person like Kaneki. The last bit of doubt in their hearts also completely disappeared.
Little did he know that even if Hinami hadn't taken the initiative to talk to him, Bai Ge was already planning to build a good relationship with Hinami first and make this little girl trust him completely.
When we were introducing each other just now, the little girl said that her full name was Hinami Fueguchi.
It was obvious that this little girl was the daughter that Doctor Dikou was willing to protect at the risk of his life.
As for Dr. Dikou's wife, she knew where the child was. Even if the couple wanted to escape, they couldn't and could only obey his orders obediently.
However, Bai Ge really had no intention of doing anything to the Anding District organization this time.
This organization gave him a different feeling from all the ghoul organizations he had seen before. At the very least, it was very humane.
Therefore, Bai Ge planned to observe for a while and consider the feasibility of using this place as the first pilot site for artificial ghoul food.
Not to mention others, at least Kaneki Ken will take the initiative to be a guinea pig after knowing that he can fill his stomach without killing people.
Since it was Amon who would be on duty at the Fuekou Clinic tomorrow, Bai Ge sent a text message to Zhenhu telling him that he would not be going back tonight, and then he stayed directly in the store.
There were plenty of empty rooms and bedding upstairs, so the store manager naturally agreed to such a request.
……
It was midnight and everyone else in the store had gone home. Only Shiraka, Touka and the already asleep Hinami were left in the store.
Perhaps because he ate a lot of red sugar cubes, Bai Ge didn't feel sleepy today.
It just so happened that I had finished the can of red sugar, so I thought of going to the refrigerator to see if there was any leftovers, or some tomatoes from making sandwiches.
The snacks are delicious, but Bai Ge, who hasn’t eaten tomatoes today, always feels empty in his stomach. He still has to eat some tomatoes.
After searching the refrigerator upstairs for a long time without finding it, Bai Ge was about to go downstairs to check when he saw a slender figure standing at the door.
Bai Ge had noticed Dong Xiang when she came over, but he didn't care.
Dong Xiang said with a bad face: "Hey, what are you doing in the refrigerator so late at night?"
"Tomatoes." Bai Ge didn't have the slightest attitude of being caught as a thief, and told Dong Xiang the truth openly.
"Tomato?" Dong Xiang couldn't help but frown when she heard that Bai Ge was looking for tomatoes.
You're a ghoul, what are you doing looking for tomatoes? Are you trying to induce vomiting?
Seeing Dong Xiang's puzzled expression, Bai Ge explained: "I was born half-ghoul. So I can eat humans and I can also eat human food."
Bai Ge discovered this when Tat ate his tomato but didn't spit it out.
"what?!"
Although Touka was not very clear about Kaneki's situation, it was not difficult to see from his usual reaction to human flesh that Kaneki's identity as a ghoul was indeed questionable.
After all, even a kind-hearted child like Hinata, as long as she is a ghoul, will not have such a strong resistance to human flesh.
And from the few words of the store manager and others, Touka could basically guess that Kaneki might have been subjected to some kind of experiment and transformed into a ghoul, otherwise the store manager would not have taken him in and protected him.
"So the one-eyed ghoul is a half-ghoul? Why is it called that? Could it be..."
"Also, how did Hakuge know that Kaneki wasn't born half-ghoul?"
All kinds of doubts appeared in Dongxiang's mind.
The impact of these doubts on her was even greater than Bai Ge's statement that he could eat human food.
Seeing Dong Xiang looking pensive, Bai Ge could probably guess what she was thinking, so he explained:
"The so-called one-eyed, or half-ghoul, is the offspring of a human and a ghoul."
Bai Ge had already known this knowledge when he was in Bai Riting. However, the half-ghouls cultivated by Bai Riting were sent away to an unknown place, leaving only the half-humans.
He had killed quite a few of them in the arena at that time. These half-humans had strong fighting talents and physical fitness, and they tasted good.
The only drawback is that it is too short-lived and you can’t feel the accumulation of time when eating it.
But I think Arima Takashi should be good. He is worshipped as a god by those people in CCG and fights frequently, so his flesh must be very firm.
After hearing Bai Ge's proactive explanation, Dong Xiang asked again: "How do you know so much about Kaneki?"
He came to the stable area to find Kaneki and even joined here, which made Touka involuntarily think of the pervert Tsukiyama Shuu.
Bai Ge blinked when he heard that, looked at Dong Xiang as if she was a fool, and pointed at his nose: "The smell."
"I ran into Kaneki earlier at Takatsuki Izumi's book signing, back when he still smelled like a pure human."
"But when I met him again in the hospital, his scent was mixed with a strong smell of a ghoul. Coincidentally, I knew this ghoul."
"Do you know Rize?" Touka frowned again.
In her opinion, none of the people that Rize knew were good people.
"I lived in District 11 for a while. Who doesn't know the famous Glutton? She turned District 11 upside down."
Whenever Bai Ge thought of the days when Li Shi was causing trouble in District 11, he wanted to find Li Shi, who was unknown whether he was dead or alive, and whip his corpse severely.
If this guy hadn't been causing trouble in District 11, he wouldn't have had to work several extra hours every day. In the end, he didn't even want to take the overtime pay, just wanted to get off work on time and go home to sleep.
Dong Xiang didn't want to ask anything now. After telling Bai Ge where the refrigerator was for the vegetables, she started to go back to her room.
Before leaving, she didn't forget to threaten Bai Ge: "Keep the noise down and don't disturb me while I'm studying!"
"Huh? What kind of person is still studying so late at night? The study pressure in this country isn't that high, right? How about I help you, Touka-senpai?"
As soon as Bai Ge heard that Dong Xiang wanted to study, he immediately became interested.
He likes to see the painful expressions on students' faces when they encounter difficult problems.
"you?"
When Dong Xiang heard that Bai Ge, a freshman in high school, actually wanted to guide her, she suddenly felt disdainful.
"How can a freshman like you help me? Just finish your tomato and go to bed!"
"Hey! I don't like what you said!"
Seeing that Dong Xiang actually looked down on him, Bai Ge immediately got angry.
"Let's make a bet. If I can teach you tonight, you have to buy me tomatoes for a week, and you have to call me Teacher Bai from now on."
Dong Xiang was well aware of her own learning ability and asked, "What if you can't teach me?"
"I can't teach you. You will be the boss in the future, and I will listen to whatever you say!" Bai Ge was determined to do it.
Fortunately, everyone from the Student Union was not there, otherwise they would have been so jealous that their back teeth would have been broken after hearing Bai Ge’s condition.
Why can’t we have this good thing?!
"Okay! It's a deal!"
