The Eternals Who Travel the Worlds

Chapter 17 The Definition of Man

The ghoul wearing a hooded sweatshirt jumped up high and pounced on the suitcase monster.

The suitcase monster didn't even look back, he carried the box sideways and swept backwards.

thump!

Blood splattered everywhere.

The ghoul's abdomen was bleeding and he fell to the ground, losing the ability to resist.

A young man wearing a gray trench coat ran out of the dark alley, with a straight face and an upright expression: "I'm sorry, Mr. Mano, I'm a little late."

The weirdo known as Mato slowly stretched out a finger: "Amen, it all depends on feeling."

For several days.

Nothing happened.

Lu Yan would sit by the window and drink coffee every day.

He discovered that not all the customers in this cafe were ghouls, there were occasionally human customers.

The ghouls in this shop did not kill human customers as he imagined. Instead, they often drove to suicide sites and brought dead bodies back to the cafe to use as food rations.

He went there once on a whim and found that the store clerks had indeed gone to some cliffs to pick up the bodies of people who had committed suicide.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that these ghouls have restrained themselves because he is here.

In the past few days, he has met almost all the clerks in the antique cafe.

Sifang Renshi would appear in the cafe from time to time, taking Kaneki to pick up corpses.

Barista Madoka Furuma and the female clerk came to see Xuan.

There is also Fangcun Gongshan who can bring a strong sense of danger to Lu Yan.

In Lu Yan's opinion, except for the two permanent clerks Dong Xiang and Jin Mu, every other member of the cafe was filled with the strong smell of blood.

"Mask...?" Jin Mu polished the plate, a little confused.

"That's right, I think it would be better for you to customize one as well." The store manager said in a gentle tone, then turned to Dong Xiang who was passing by and said: "Dong Xiang, can you accompany Jin Mu to the mask maker tomorrow?

"

Dong Xiang was very disgusted and said that she didn't want to waste her precious weekend rest time at all.

Lu Yan kept drinking the coffee from his cup.

Seeing that the communication had been completed, Dong Xiang was very unhappy but still agreed to take Jin Mu there.

"Add me, I'm also quite interested in the mask shop you mentioned."

Lu Yan interjected in a kind voice.

Fangcun Gongshan had no intention of listening to the opinions of Dong Xiang and the two, and directly decided: "It would be great if Mr. Yan is willing to go together. Please protect these two little guys by the way."

Lu Yan waved his hand, indicating that there was no problem.

Then he drank coffee again.

Nerima Station.

As the largest station in the 20th arrondissement, it has a large flow of people.

Lu Yan wore a black coat and stood in front of the station with Jin Mu, waiting for Dong Xiang to come over after school.

Not long after, Dong Xiang appeared.

"Let's go."

Along the way.

Dongxiang showed her disgust at Kaneki Ken and walked alone to lead the way.

"Mr. Yan..." Jin Muyan hesitated.

Lu Yan said in a kind tone: "Huh? What do you think you are thinking about?"

After getting along with each other these days, Lu Yan also knew that Jin Muyan was actually a human being at the beginning.

Because a doctor transplanted ghoul organs into him, he became a ghoul.

"Do you think I'm still a human being?"

In fact, Jin Muyan only knew that Lu Yan was a very powerful person, but he had never seen him take action.

Lu Yan has always been amiable and amiable on weekdays. Coupled with Lu Yan's status as a human being, Kaneki Yan wants to know how Lu Yan, a human being, views his existence.

"Then do you think I am a human being?" Lu Yan asked.

"ah?"

"Physiologically speaking, ghouls, including me, are not considered real humans." Lu Yan looked at the closed shops on both sides and said in a calm tone, "Most people's definition of human beings is based on biology.

It’s defined from a perspective, so according to universal concepts, you are no longer a human being.”

Jin Muyan looked a little gloomy: "That's right, that's true."

Lu Yan tilted his head and glanced at him: "There was a time when I thought that I was not a human being, either physically or psychologically."

"Ah? But no matter how you look at it, you are still a human being. Although I am very happy that you comfort me." Jin Muyan felt that Lu Yan said this to comfort him.

"No, actually I prefer to look at whether you are a human being from a philosophical perspective or behavioral perspective. If what you do is full of humanity, who can say that you are not a human being?"

In Lu Yan's long life, as he said, he had seen many people wearing human skins and doing what could be considered beastly things.

Words such as "eating a child and eating it" and "two-legged sheep" may have been just words in Duan Jianhui's time, but to Lu Yan, they were all scenes he had seen with his own eyes.

At least he feels that when a person reaches that stage, he can no longer be called a human being.

"Ah? I don't quite understand." Kaneki scratched his head and said with some embarrassment.

"arrive."

Dong Xiang turned around and said two words coldly.

They have arrived at the door of the store.

It was in a small alley, and the shops in the alley had their doors tightly closed.

There is a motorcycle parked in front of the shop.

There are graffiti with unknown meanings on the door, including the shop sign.

The three of them entered through the side door and passed several steps leading underground.

Dong Xiang opened a door and walked in with ease.

Lu Yan and the other two followed in silence.

Inside the door is a wide hall.

Rows of half-length mannequins wearing grotesque masks.

The decoration style of the entire mask shop has a mystical feel.

"Mr. Bai?"

Dong Xiang's voice rang in the room, but no one responded. He looked around and said to himself: "Really, are you sleeping?"

Lu Yan felt the smell of ghouls on the display shelf covered with white cloth.

Jin Muyan followed Lu Yan's gaze and curiously walked over and uncovered the white cloth.

A young man with a wolf tail hairstyle and earrings squatted on the shelf with his knees in his arms: "Ha!"

"ah!!!"

Kaneki Ken was so frightened that he fell to the ground.

Dong Xiang smiled helplessly: "What are you doing, Mr. Bai?"

"I just want to scare him," Mr. Bai explained, and saw Lu Yan standing next to him, "Huh? Dong Xiang, you really brought an amazing guy to my place."

As a being who has killed nearly a thousand ghouls by himself, even if the ones he killed were C-level and B-level ghouls, it is still an incredible existence.

"Hello, my name is Lu Yan."

Lu Yan's tone was as amiable as ever, and there was no sign of danger at all.

Mr. Bai nodded and asked Kaneki Ken to sit on the stool.

"Haha, it's very good. Does Mr. Yan also need a mask?" Mr. Bai measured Kaneki Ken's size and asked casually.

"Thank you, I don't need it."
