Lin Yi exclaimed as he descended to the underground level. The destruction here was severe, and many cells containing advanced ghouls had been opened.
Lin Yi's footsteps paused. In the darkness, numerous crimson ghoul eyes suddenly lit up.
The doors closed, trapping the monsters inside. They couldn't get out, so they all waited there.
These were not like the creatures outside. The imprisoned ghouls here were at least A-rank, having killed over a hundred people.
The situation on the underground level was much worse than above ground.
The ghouls here were stronger, and without senior investigators overseeing, it was unknown if there were any survivors left on this level.
Lin Yi learned from others that Yukinori had arrived on this level earlier, but he didn't know the current situation.
However, he soon had no time to think about these things.
Every imprisoned ghoul here despised investigators, so upon seeing Lin Yi, they all launched an attack simultaneously.
Meanwhile, in a certain area underground in Cochlea...
Kaneki was in battle with a powerful ghoul, Matasaka Kamishiro, who was one of the primary targets Bronze Tree aimed to rescue.
However, Matasaka Kamishiro had a father-daughter-like relationship with Rize Kamishiro. After Rize escaped from the V organization, Matasaka Kamishiro had adopted her for a considerable period.
So when Matasaka Kamishiro saw Kaneki for the first time, and smelled the scent of Rize on him and attacked in anger, engaging in a fierce battle with Kaneki.
Kaneki's strength had improved rapidly through his growth in the Aogiri Tree, but compared to the formidable monster that was Matasaka Kamishiro, he was still too young.
Their combat methods and physical abilities were not on the same level.
This battle could be described as one-sided suppression.
"Boom!"
In just a dozen moves, Kaneki was struck heavily and flew backwards, crashing through a wall.
It seemed like he was blessed by the protagonist's aura, as he happened to land in the area of Cochlea where corpses and Kagune were stored.
Cochlea, being a containment facility for ghouls, housed an unknown number of them. Countless ghouls died here daily due to interrogations or various experiments.
Cochlea had also been a stable source of Kagune for the CCG. One can only imagine how many Kagune were stored there.
After going through so much, Kaneki had long attributed all the misfortunes he encountered to his own weakness.
Of course, his understanding was not entirely wrong. If he were strong enough, he could indeed prevent most of the misfortunes in advance.
So, at this moment, Kaneki began to crazily consume Kagune without any regard for the consequences of such massive consumption.
Like Tatara, who couldn't maintain control in his Kakuja form due to extensive consumption.
"Boom!"
Lin Yi pierced through a ghoul attempting to escape with his sword, and Jörmungandr instantly absorbed the ghoul, turning it into a lifeless corpse. Corpses like this littered the ground.
"Let's take it slow, okay?"
Lin Yi glanced at the scattered bodies on the ground. His Quinque had certainly fed well this time.
Unfortunately, the Aogiri Tree was pressed for time, and not many members had infiltrated the underground level. They had only released a portion of the ghouls.
He couldn't proactively release these ghouls and then proceed to slaughter them. It would be too extreme, and he wouldn't be able to explain it to headquarters.
The ghouls imprisoned here were valuable Kagune in the eyes of headquarters.
Just as Lin Yi was about to leave, his footsteps paused. He looked towards the depths of the tunnel, where faint sounds of movement could be heard.
Raising an eyebrow, Lin Yi walked step by step. As he got closer, he could see a blurry figure kneeling on the ground, frenziedly devouring a ghoul's Kagune. The scene was extremely bloody.
The figure had its back turned to Lin Yi, with several tentacle-like Kagune floating behind it, covered in a metallic black shell, and white hair flowing down.
"Look at this sight." Lin Yi muttered. It was obvious that it was Kaneki, and he had completely lost his sanity.
Even though Lin Yi had approached right in front of him, there was no reaction from Kaneki. He continued devouring the Kagune without a care.
It wasn't until Lin Yi stood behind him, raising his Quinque, that Ken Kaneki showed a slight reaction. He turned his head and locked eyes with Lin Yi, his cheeks covered by a black-golden Kagune mask, revealing two completely white eyes.
"Clang!"
The black Kagune collided with Jörmungandr.
However, he underestimated the sharpness of the sword. After undergoing numerous evolutions, its Kagune strength was already comparable to an SSS-rank ghoul.
The black Kagune was instantly severed, just like cutting through fruits and vegetables.
"Ah!"
Kaneki let out a wretched scream, his voice hoarse.
He leaped away, creating distance between them. The severed Kagune instantly regrew, and four crimson Kagune swept towards Lin Yi from different directions.
Lin Yi reacted swiftly, his footwork graceful, narrowly evading each attack.
Finding an opening, Lin Yi thrust downward, directly piercing through two Kagune, firmly pinning them to the alloy floor. At the same time, he extended his foot and stepped on another Kagune.
Simultaneously, he reached out his hand and grabbed the last Kagune, pulling it forcefully forward.
Ken Kaneki's thin and weak body, like a kite with its string cut, rushed fiercely towards Lin Yi.
In the entire CCG, only someone like Lin Yi with such physical capabilities, resembling a non-human monster, could use their strength to overpower a half-Kakuja.
"Boom!"
Lin Yi seized Kaneki by the neck, taking advantage of the situation. Then, in an extremely violent manner, he slammed him forcefully towards the ground.
"Ahh!"
Kaneki once again coughed up a mouthful of blood, and the previously frenzied Kagune weakened.
The Kagune covering his face shattered, revealing his original appearance.
