Chapter Eighty-Nine: Massacre

Note: In this chapter, Mu Yang wears a mysterious mask throughout.

After annexing territory and harvesting other ghouls, the Shepherd's growth had skyrocketed.

Meanwhile, Kaneki had been captured by the "Gourmet," Shuu Tsukiyama. To be precise, Kaneki was too naive, and Tsukiyama had tricked him into coming to his turf.

"Looks like I'll have to make a trip to the Gourmet's turf." Mu Yang yawned.

Kaneki sat helplessly in the center, and then a butcher wearing a red headcloth slowly emerged from the opposite side. After saying "hello," he raised his butcher knife high and swung it at Kaneki. Kaneki immediately dashed to the side, dodging the blow. At this moment, Kaneki had only barely managed to fight Koutarou Amon on even terms, so naturally he couldn't possibly defeat a butcher wielding a giant cleaver.

So Kaneki didn't hesitate, he started running. The spectators in the stands shouted at the butcher to hurry up. The butcher accelerated in pursuit of Kaneki. Just then, Kaneki stripped off his jacket and wrapped it around the butcher's head, then made a straight dash toward a large door. He pushed with all his might, but the door didn't budge. At that moment, the butcher caught up, and Kaneki was cornered.

Just as the butcher was about to kill Kaneki, Mu Yang arrived. A single bullet dealt with the butcher, and Mu Yang said to Shuu Tsukiyama, "Gourmet, would you do me a favor and let Kaneki go?"

"You killed my precious one!" a female ghoul shouted. This female ghoul was the butcher's owner.

"Master of the Shepherd, your request is rather difficult. If you hadn't killed Kotaro, I could grant you that face. But Kotaro is dead, and our Ms. A is displeased, which puts me in a tough spot." Tsukiyama said with a mild expression.

"What do you want?" Mu Yang was not good at this kind of roundabout talk, so he went straight to the point.

"The Master of the Shepherd wishes to take Kaneki away, but that would leave us one match short. How about you make it up to us with a match? However, since Kotaro is dead, and the Master of the Shepherd's strength is far greater than every ghoul here, why not have all of us serve as the Master of the Shepherd's opponent together? That way, the Master of the Shepherd can give all of us ghouls a match. What do you think?" Tsukiyama announced loudly, drawing approval from all the ghouls.

"Fine, let's do it now." Mu Yang agreed without a second thought. He had expected some harsh terms, even braced himself for a heavy price, but it turned out he just had to beat up a bunch of weaklings.

"Since the Master of the Shepherd agrees, then the match begins!" Tsukiyama shouted.

In an instant, all the ghouls in the stands released their kagune, charging at Mu Yang in a wave of varied shapes. Of course, how could the Paradise transmigrators resist getting involved? That's right—mixed among the ghouls were several Paradise transmigrators.

Mu Yang had not even taken out Justice and Bribe when the first wave of ukaku swept over, raining down densely on him. But the attack power of ukaku was far too low; most ukaku could only leave his skin red, and only a few could draw blood. Yet even drawing blood was useless, because Mu Yang could heal in the same instant.

Right then, close-combat kagune ghouls had already rushed to Mu Yang's front. Mu Yang squatted down, chopped off a bikaku, grabbed that bikaku, and yanked the ghoul over, using the ghoul as a shield to block a torrent of kagune. But that ghoul's level was not high either, and in an instant he was shredded into meat paste by the mass of kagune...
