Time flies.

Years are like a shuttle.

In a flash, 4 years have passed.

Four years ago, Li Yaoxiang successfully applied, joined CCG, and obtained the identity of a ghoul investigator. The ghoul investigators are divided into 4 ranks.

They are 3rd-level ghoul investigators, 2nd-level ghoul investigators, 1st-level ghoul investigators, first-class ghoul investigators, quasi-special ghoul investigators, special-level ghoul investigators.

From bottom to top, the first three are called inferior ghoul investigators, and the latter three are called superior ghoul investigators.

And very honored.

On this day four years later, Li Yaoxiang is still a third-class ghoul investigator.

TL note: Rank 3 Investigator (santō sōsakan): Bureau investigators begin their career at this rank. Ghoul investigators who begin their career at this rank are “special cases,” made investigators without formal training at the Training Academy. https://tokyoghoul.fandom.com/wiki/Ghoul_investigator#Rank (on more about the rank if you’re curious)

His position is as specific as a man always likes an 18-year-old girl.

Unwavering.

Not because Li Yaoxiang joined midway, not as good as those who were taken back by CCG from an early age, or brain-washed, or cultivated, orphan for short.

""

It’s because Li Yaoxiang’s work attitude over the past four years has always been passable.

Every afternoon at 3 pm, he always drinks afternoon tea.

At 7 o’clock in the evening, work will be completed on time.

It is impossible overtime.

Occasionally taking a nap.

He even takes sick leave from time to time and travels abroad.

If it weren’t for CCG’s lack of manpower… If it weren’t for Li Yaoxiang’s regular live catch every month, or the killing of one or two of them to make a mission, he might have been dismissed by CCG.

Of course, don’t look at Li Yaoxiang, he only cares about the waves.

He also did not fall on the matter.

With a darkening experience, the simple Li Yaoxiang is very clear that the best way to guide Kaneki Ken to the ‘right path’ is undoubtedly to start from a young age.

So during these four years, in addition to going around and realizing his dreams, since Kaneki Ken is sensible, he has accompanied Kaneki Ken from time to time to play and chat, trying to establish a relationship and establish trust with him.

Try to influence Kaneki Ken’s character.

Unfortunately, the effect was very good at the beginning.

At least when choosing toys, Kaneki Ken chooses toy knives.

At home, he would play around with those knives.

But Kaneki Ken is not Naruto after all, and this era is not an era of war. Kaneki Ken has parents, and the medical degree of this era has a different development direction.

When the night is quiet.

Whenever they see their child, playing and laughing at the air there, Kaneki Ken’s parents will be terrified, have one’s hair stand on end.

Asked who Kaneki Ken was talking to, Kaneki Ken said frankly that someone was indeed talking to him, playing with him, and often told him the bedtime story.

They asked what kind of story, Li Yaoxiang mentioned about the pleasures and hatreds, and the annihilation of people and families at every turn.

Ken can only babble, kill this, kill that.

Now, shouldn’t it frighten the couple?

The two couples said nothing, and immediately took Kaneki Ken to see a psychiatrist.

It is a pity that the evaluation and report given by the psychologist prove that Kaneki Ken is all normal.

The two couples is relaxed.

However, after that, they will only spend more time on Kaneki Ken. And instructed Kaneki Ken to stop talking to ‘stranger’.

If you see anything strange in the future, just ignore him.

Compared to Li Yaoxiang, Kaneki Ken of confused and ignorant, of course, is more willing to obey his parents.

Li Yaoxiang is also very cooperative and temporarily no longer interferes with Kaneki Ken, because he knows that it is not yet time.

Because of this, Kaneki Ken’s personality is still seriously affected by his parents. Afterwards, after seeing Kaneki Ken was much more normal and stopped talking to himself, the two couples felt relieved.

It’s just that they don’t know.

Since playing Kaneki Ken chose the toy knife, everything is actually different.

Kaneki Ken’s interest changed and became a child who likes to play some bloody games that male children should play. In fact, it means that Li Yaoxiang’s initial plan has been successful, and he successfully planted a darkening seed in Kaneki Ken’s heart.

Just wait until the time is right.

This seed will sprout naturally, grow, and eventually become vigorous.

And the day after 4 years is also the beginning of the germination of this seed.

Because Kaneki Ken’s father died a while ago like original work. Kaneki Ken once mentioned in the original work that he didn’t know how father died, and what happened at that time.

For father’s death, he only remembered ‘a very terrifying thing happened’.

Even when he grew up, this thing gave him a vague sense of fear.

There is no mention of ‘what is terrifying’ in the original work.

But when transmigrated here, Li Yaoxiang who sees the whole process in his eyes, sees it very clearly. Kaneki Ken’s father was killed in front of Kaneki Ken.

Fortunately, the investigator arrived in time, and Kaneki Ken was saved.

But also because of death in front of Kaneki Ken.

This incident hit him too much.

So his brain seemed to choose indirect amnesia in order to ‘protect himself’. After that, he could not remember the situation at that time, only remembering the death of father, which made him feel very frightened.

Li Yaoxiang watched the fourth season before being transmigrated.

He did not understand why the author did not mention this matter again.

However, Li Yaoxiang did not intend to guess the author’s thoughts.

After all, now he no longer looks at Anime.

For him, it is a real world.

Although Li Yaoxiang judged by the facts in front of him, he didn’t need to pay too much attention. Since the original work person did not use this to ‘abuse’ Kaneki Ken, it is up to him to do it himself.

Just remind Kaneki Ken of this ‘good’ memory at the right time. I believe there will be unexpected effects.

So Kaneki Ken’s father’s death, Li Yaoxiang not at all prevents or interferes.

Because he knew that this was the beginning of Kaneki Ken’s tragic destiny, and also the beginning of the darkening plan. What Li Yaoxiang has to do now is to make Kaneki Ken’s miserable destiny even more miserable.

Since then.

2nd day after the funeral.

Li Yaoxiang, who had been lurking for a while, had contacted Kaneki Ken again.

This made Kaneki Ken, who was originally waving his toy knife at home, also had to dumbfounded for a moment.

“How come you’re back?”

“Don’t look for me again, okay?”

“Mother said to stop talking to you!”

Kaneki Ken’s home is not very big. Of course, his mother noticed his sudden self-talk, and scared her to the core on the spot…

I thought my son’s ‘illness’ had been completely recovered.

But I don’t want it to happen again at this time.

This made her feel nervous and worried again.

The husband has just left.

The son can’t be more…

Deeply worried, she had to take Kaneki Ken to seek a famous doctor again.

If the famous doctor doesn’t work, then go to the temple.

In short, all kinds of strange methods have been tried. But in the end, the voice in Kaneki Ken’s mind couldn’t be ‘expelled’…
