...
When Bai Ye entered the building of the Ghoul Detention Center...
The forbidden zone was activated!
For three minutes, Bai Ye was temporarily held up in the entrance hall. Ghouls in front of him were engaging in combat with Ghoul Investigators.
Bai Ye could join the fight, but it would be meaningless. For Bai Ye, this was a "plot kill" situation. In less than three minutes, Bai Ye definitely wouldn't be able to clear the hall.
Since he had nothing else to do, Bai Ye checked the forbidden zone missions.
Eliminate ten targets...
Forbidden Zone Mission 1 was quite easy. It was just killing ten people, whether they were Ghoul Investigators or chosen ones from the opposing faction.
Forbidden Zone Mission 2 overlapped with Mission 1. If the Ghoul faction plundered Quinque, then the Ghoul Investigator faction would plunder Kagune. This could be completed concurrently with Mission 1.
Because, to plunder, one had to kill.
Well, it was also possible that the other side got scared and surrendered their items.
But most of the time, it still required killing. As for the discrepancy between the number of plunder targets and the number of eliminations in Mission 1, it was also normal. Bai Ye was plundering, and others were also plundering. The target might not have only one Quinque or Kagune.
What confused Bai Ye was Forbidden Zone Mission 3!
Ken Kaneki?
Who was that?
Bai Ye showed a look of confusion.
However, seeing that the target's codename was "eyepatch," Bai Ye had a slight impression. Among the cadres of Aogiri Tree, there was a white-haired kid who wore a mask that covered the lower half of his face and an eyepatch that covered one eye.
Then the second question arose...
Rescue Ken Kaneki from Kōtarō Amon...
So, who was Kōtarō Amon?
A Ghoul Investigator?
Bai Ye couldn't help but scratch his head.
Regarding such matters, Bai Ye felt that memories from his previous life were often quite useful.
The reason Bai Ye was confused right now was that he had never been to the Ghoul Zone of the Spiritual Region in his previous life.
Therefore, Bai Ye was completely unaware of the forbidden zones here.
Thus, he couldn't directly use his past life memories to decide his course of action.
Instead, he had to rely on his own judgment to complete the mission. 138 Reading Network
However, Bai Ye felt that it was not a big problem. Could this stump him?
As his thoughts raced, Bai Ye had almost reached a conclusion. Since he didn't know who Kōtarō Amon was, wasn't there still the target named "eyepatch"?
Since he had to rescue someone, that person had to be in trouble first. He just needed to keep an eye on "eyepatch."
As for whether he could rescue "eyepatch" from Kōtarō Amon, Bai Ye didn't even consider it.
In Bai Ye's eyes, the level of this region was quite low.
At least the Ghoul Investigators and Ghouls that Bai Ye had seen so far were not very impressive.
Let alone the Ghoul Investigators. As for the Ghouls, the strongest Bai Ye had encountered so far was Ayato Kirishima. Roughly estimating his combat power...
Bai Ye thought he could defeat Ayato Kirishima in about five minutes.
Of course, it was also possible that Bai Ye had not yet witnessed the peak combat power of this region.
Secondly, like the Jura Tempest Federation, looking back at Rimuru's strength, Bai Ye also felt he was not that strong. However, the Jura Tempest Federation was clearly a high-level region, and Rimuru's strength was constantly evolving based on the progress of the world battlefield.
Bai Ye was unsure if such beings existed in the Ghoul Region, but if they did, the Ghoul Region might evolve from a low-level region to a high-level region.
As Bai Ye was contemplating, the three minutes had already passed.
The guards of the Ghoul Detention Center in front could not resist the ghouls and had a path broken through. As the ghouls surged forward, it meant the forbidden zone had officially begun.
Bai Ye followed the ghouls inside, and soon discovered that the ghouls had scattered.
Bai Ye rubbed his chin. Although he had correctly guessed the faction assignments, the forbidden zone was likely not operated based on factions; it was still an individual action.
This meant...
Even if he had entered the Ghoul Detention Center with Ayato Kirishima from the beginning, he wouldn't have been required to act together.
The bad news was...
Ken Kaneki had disappeared.
"What a hassle!"
Bai Ye complained helplessly.
As things stood, he could only advance towards the depths of the Ghoul Detention Center.
Bai Ye thought as he glanced at the display screen.
This forbidden zone was quite thoughtful, even providing a map of the Ghoul Detention Center.
The Ghoul Detention Center was a giant cylindrical building. After passing the surface structures, the entrance led underground.
The underground was where ghouls were imprisoned, a massive cylinder where each level was a cell. The deeper one went, the higher the danger level of the imprisoned ghouls, with some SS-rated ghouls among them.
As Bai Ye moved forward, suddenly...
A fierce wind struck from the side!
In the corridor to the side, a Ghoul Investigator waited silently with his back against the wall. The moment Bai Ye passed, he suddenly darted out, raising his Quinque katana and sweeping it horizontally at Bai Ye.
Then...
Bai Ye suddenly reached out and grabbed the katana, even forming a delicate "orchid finger" pose, deliberately curling up three fingers.
The Ghoul Investigator's face showed horror. He tried to forcefully swing the katana forward, but it was useless. He then changed tactics and forcefully pulled the katana, but it remained motionless.
Then...
*Shhh!*
Current surged from Bai Ye's fingertips, quickly wrapping around the katana.
The next moment, with a *crack*, the katana shattered into pieces.
Bai Ye, holding the broken katana, then casually swiped it across the Ghoul Investigator's throat...
*Gulp!*
With the sound of flesh tearing, a bloodline appeared on the Ghoul Investigator's throat, and his body slowly knelt down.
"You have eliminated an enemy faction target: 1/10"
Bai Ye picked up the broken katana, stepped over the corpse, and continued forward.
In Bai Ye's opinion, Mission 1 of the forbidden zone was not worth much attention. His goal was the deepest part of the Ghoul Detention Center. If he still hadn't killed ten Ghoul Investigators by the time he reached the end, then their defensive force was too pathetic.
The only thing that was truly troublesome...
Was the chosen ones!
Bai Ye's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he condensed a "Thunderfang Fury Beast," flinging it backward.
