January 24, Tokyo Bay.
Narashino's search operation was successfully completed under the escort of General Arima, and hundreds of survivors were brought back.
While resting on the ship, Soichiro Takagi asked the survivors about the mutants.
From their mouths, they also learned that the mutant had been helping them. Although he was a little cold and a little scary, he did help them.
The team sometimes numbered over a thousand people, and many old, weak, and sick people underwent natural transformation, affecting many people.
This was not the fault of the mutant, but the mutant felt that one person could not take care of them, so he gave them to the authorities.
Kaneki Ken heard about it and felt even more confused. He didn't know whether this very powerful mutant was a good guy or a bad guy.
…
January 25, Waidi Base.
In the morning, when the convoy got off the ship, Soichiro Takagi immediately went to discuss the deployment of troops with Inspector Matsudaira Katakuritora.
The mutants went to Professor Mato Wuxi's laboratory together and asked him why they were so weak.
Professor Mato Gosu said plausibly, it was not that they were too weak, but that mutant was too strong.
Seeing that they didn't believe it, Professor Mano Gou took out the values he measured for everyone, and then asked the ship girl Katsuragi Ai to come out and re-measure the values for everyone.
The results are not much different. Roughly speaking, the speed is about 40 meters per second, which is much better than the enhanced person.
The mutants had no choice but to give up temporarily and continue to act as guinea pigs to increase their strength.
Kirishima Touka, who was watching the excitement, was moved in her heart. She took a test in private and found that it only took about 8 seconds for her to fly 400 meters, which is about 50 meters per second.
"Ha, those idiots were indeed deceived, even worse than a half-finished product like me."
"I can't say that I was deceived. It's just that Professor Mato Gosu doesn't understand the real situation."
"He simply knew there was a problem but still did it. He was using them as guinea pigs."
"I agree, but they will still become stronger in the future."
"Nonsense, as long as you eat, you will slowly become stronger, but the speed of upgrading is amazing."
"It's better than killing someone."
"Well……"
Regarding Kaneki Ken's reminder, Kirishima Touka had nothing to say, but she still squeezed out one sentence, "If you don't kill people, you will be killed and become nourishment for others."
"I dare to bet that if he doesn't kill us mutants, he is just letting us go. When we grow up, he will harvest us again, because we are too weak now, so weak that he has no appetite."
The more he spoke, the more convinced Kirishima Touka became, and this time Kaneki Ken had nothing to say, and he agreed with this from the bottom of his heart.
"Oh," Kirishima Toka sighed, "I really can't get out now, I think we must be being watched."
"With his speed, it will only take a few minutes to fly here. Maybe he is watching us in the sky now." Kirishima Touka said and raised his head.
The winter sunshine is very soft, and it shines warmly on your body.
But Kirishima Touka didn't feel warm, her heart was cold because she really saw a mutant.
Kaneki Ken noticed something strange about Kirishima Touka, quickly looked up and saw the mutant.
Kaneki Ken suddenly had an idea, "He should be watching the survivors. Kirishima, take me up."
"ah?"
"Don't worry, if he wanted to kill us, he would have done it long ago."
"Oh well."
Kirishima Touka hesitantly agreed and flew up with Kaneki Ken.
"Hello, I'm Kaneki Ken."
"Oh, you are very brave. Just confirm that I will not kill you?"
"You are concerned about the survivors, don't worry, they will be properly accommodated."
"Don't make random guesses about other people's thoughts."
"Why don't you go down? As long as you cooperate with the base, I believe more people can be saved."
"I've been talking about it for a long time and it's still the same question. Just think about it yourself."
"Wait, what's your name?"
No one answered Kaneki Ken's question, they had already flown away.
Kirishima Touka called the ship girl Katsuragi Ai and asked about the flying speed of the mutant.
"It should be more than 250 meters per second."
"Isn't it? There's no way to fight. How can you beat that guy?"
Ship girl Katsuragi Ai hesitated and said, "Well, there are still people who can beat this."
"Who?" Kaneki asked.
Katsuragi Ai, the ship girl, shook her head, "Sorry, I can't say it without permission."
Kirishima Touka understood, "Forget it, but why are these guys so powerful?"
Katsuragi Ai, the ship girl, replied: "Continuous devouring, this is how mutants grow."
Kaneki Yan smiled bitterly, "Do you have to kill people?"
Ship girl Katsuragi Ai shook her head, "No."
"Ah? Can you devour it without killing people?" The two of them were surprised.
Ship Girl Katsuragi Ai said: "It's okay, it won't be completely swallowed, but the effect will be weaker."
Kaneki high-fived excitedly, "So that's it. Why didn't I think of it? We were just two people together at the beginning."
Kirishima Touka raised her tail and said, "Come on, let me go first."
Katsuragi Ai, the ship girl, said: "Wait, I suggest that it is best to follow Miss Meidaiko's recipe and eat more before starting. At the same time, it is best not to exceed 200 ml each time. Should it be once a week? It depends on you personally.”
"I understand." Kirishima Touka took Kaneki Ken back.
Kaneki opened his mouth, but was filled with wind and could only shut up. He waited until he landed before asking, "Ms. Katsuragi Ai, can you contact Miss Meidaiko? I have some questions to ask her."
Katsuragi Ai, the ship girl, frowned and said: "I suggest you write this down, and I can convey it to Mr. Yamazaki on your behalf. Only when he asks Miss Meidaizi will she answer honestly, otherwise she won't bother to care. .”
"That's okay." Jin Muyan wrote a letter when he got back.
…
On the other side, in the wilderness of central America, at night, on an RV.
Yamazaki, who was so energetic that he couldn't sleep, was browsing the web, and the ship girl Ai Katsuragi pushed Kaneki Ken's letter over.
Yamazaki simply started the video and answered the question raised by Kaneki Ken face to face - the evolution of mutants.
Kirishima Touka also joined in the fun, and the three of them said hello and got down to business.
Yamazaki said: "Medaizi's view of mutants is that mutants are similar to Cell in "Dragon Ball", and the ultimate achievement is probably cell rebirth. I think this is a bit exaggerated, but I have to admit that in the end, it is towards that direction."
Kaneki Ken and Kirishima Touka looked at each other. Is this more than an exaggeration? It's just a comic book.
Yamazaki said: "There is no limit to the growth of mutants yet. It has been confirmed that it can exceed the speed of sound."
Kirishima Toka asked, "Has anyone reached the speed of sound?"
Yamazaki said: "It's not a human, it's a pet animal. Its body size is only 30 centimeters, and it uses tricky methods, but the road is there. As long as the conditions are met, it can enter supersonic speed."
"What are the conditions? Are the bone wings powerful enough?"
"Not only the bone wings, but also the scales must be strong to withstand high temperatures. The most important thing is that the limbs and tail are strong enough to withstand the sound barrier, and large enough to block the entire bone wing after bending."
"Bent?" Kirishima Touka was confused.
"I understand," Kaneki Ken made a move, placing the top of the bone tail and the tops of the two limbs on his head and bringing them together, "Using the tops of the three as thimbles, the curves of the three form the wing fuselage of the fighter jet, and a pair of bone wings It’s the engine.”
Kirishima Touka understood, "I see, they can support me so I can flap my bone wings."
