When Bai Ye entered the building of the Ghoul Containment Facility...
The restricted zone had opened!
For three minutes, Bai Ye was temporarily trapped in the entrance hall. Ghouls were engaging with Ghoul Investigators in front of him.
Bai Ye could participate, but it would be meaningless. At this moment, for Bai Ye, it was a "scripted kill" situation. With less than three minutes remaining, Bai Ye certainly couldn't defeat everyone in the hall.
Since he had nothing else to do, Bai Ye looked at the restricted zone missions.
Eliminate ten targets...
Restricted Zone Mission 1 was quite easy. It was just killing ten people, whether they were Ghoul Investigators or chosen ones from the opposing faction.
Restricted Zone Mission 2 overlapped with Mission 1. If the Ghoul faction plundered Quinque, 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 opposite side got scared and willingly surrendered their items.
But most of the time, killing was involved. As for the number of plunder targets not matching the number of kills for Mission 1, it was also normal. Bai Ye was plundering, and others were also plundering. The opponent might not only have one Quinque or Kagune.
What puzzled Bai Ye was Restricted Zone Mission 3!
Kaneki Ken?
Who was this?
Bai Ye showed a look of bewilderment.
However, seeing that the target's codename was "eyepatch," Bai Ye had some impression. Among the executives of Aogiri Tree, there was indeed a white-haired brat. His mask covered the lower half of his face and had an eyepatch that concealed one eye.
Then the second question arose...
Rescue Kaneki Ken from Arima Kisho...
So, who was Arima Kisho?
A Ghoul Investigator?
Bai Ye couldn't help but scratch his head.
Regarding such matters, Bai Ye found his memories from his previous life to be quite useful.
The reason Bai Ye was confused at the moment was that he had never come to the Ghoul Zone of the Spirit Realm in his previous life.
Therefore, Bai Ye knew nothing about the restricted zones here.
Thus, he couldn't directly decide his course of action based on his past life's memories.
Instead, he had to complete the mission through his own judgment. 138 Reading Network
However, Bai Ye felt that the problem was not significant. Could this stump him?
As he pondered, Bai Ye had already come up with an answer. Since he didn't know who Arima Kisho was, but the target "eyepatch" was still there.
Since he had to rescue someone, the person had to be in trouble first. He just needed to keep an eye on "eyepatch."
As for whether he could rescue "eyepatch" from Arima Kisho, Bai Ye didn't even consider it.
In Bai Ye's eyes, the skill level in this zone was a bit low.
At least, the Ghoul Investigators and ghouls Bai Ye had seen so far were not very strong.
Let's not even mention the Ghoul Investigators. In terms of ghouls, the strongest Bai Ye had encountered so far was Kirishima Touka. Roughly estimating her combat power...
Bai Ye thought he could defeat Kirishima Touka in about five minutes.
Of course, it was also possible that Bai Ye hadn't encountered the top-tier combatants in this zone.
Secondly, similar to the Jura Tempest Forest, looking back at Rimuru's strength, Bai Ye also felt he wasn't very strong. However, the Jura Tempest Forest was clearly a high-level zone, and Rimuru's strength was constantly evolving based on the progress of the world battlefield.
Bai Ye wasn't sure if such a situation existed in the Ghoul Zone, but if it did, the Ghoul Zone might evolve from a low-level zone to a high-level zone.
As Bai Ye was thinking, the three minutes were up.
The guards of the Ghoul Containment Facility in front could not resist the ghouls and were breached, opening a path. As the ghouls surged forward, it signaled the official opening of the restricted zone.
Bai Ye followed the ghouls inside, and soon discovered that the ghouls had scattered.
Bai Ye rubbed his chin. Although he had guessed the faction assignment correctly, the restricted zone probably didn't operate based on factions; it was still individual action.
This meant...
Even if he had entered the Ghoul Containment Facility with Kirishima Touka from the beginning, he wouldn't have been required to act together.
The bad news was...
Kaneki Ken had disappeared.
"How troublesome!"
Bai Ye complained helplessly.
As things stood, he could only advance towards the depths of the Ghoul Containment Facility.
As Bai Ye thought, he glanced at the light screen.
This restricted zone was quite thoughtful, even providing a map of the Ghoul Containment Facility.
The Ghoul Containment Facility was a massive cylindrical building. After passing through the surface structures, the entrance led underground.
The underground was where the ghouls were held, a vast cylinder. Each floor was a prison, and the deeper one went, the higher the danger level of the ghouls held there, including SS-rated ghouls.
As Bai Ye moved forward, a strong gust of wind suddenly attacked from the side!
From the side corridor, a Ghoul Investigator was waiting silently against the wall. The moment Bai Ye passed, he suddenly flashed out, raising his Quinque katana and sweeping it horizontally towards Bai Ye.
Then...
Bai Ye suddenly reached out and grabbed the katana, even forming a delicate finger gesture, deliberately raising three fingers.
The Ghoul Investigator's face showed horror. He tried hard to swing the katana forward, but it was of no use. He then resorted to forcefully pulling the katana, but it remained motionless.
Then...
*Zzzz!*
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 then used the broken katana to slash across the opponent's throat...
*Puff!*
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 Quinque katana, stepped over the corpse, and continued forward.
In Bai Ye's opinion, Mission 1 was not something to worry about. His goal was the deepest part of the Ghoul Containment Facility. If he still hadn't killed ten Ghoul Investigators by then, it could only mean the defense was too weak.
The real trouble...
Was the chosen ones!
Bai Ye's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he condensed his Lightning Fang Beast, flinging it backward.
