"Due to the discovery and entry of participants into the restricted area Ghoul Containment Facility, all participants currently located within the Eerie Ghoul Zone (within a three-kilometer radius of the Ghoul Containment Facility) will be teleported to different locations within the Ghoul Containment Facility in three minutes."

"Gentlemen, please devour each other."
...
As Bai Ye entered the building of the Ghoul Containment Facility...
The restricted area had begun!
For three minutes, Bai Ye was temporarily blocked in the entrance hall, where ghouls were engaging with ghoul investigators.
Bai Ye could participate, but it would be meaningless. For Bai Ye at this moment, it was a situation of "plot kill." Within three minutes, Bai Ye certainly couldn't fight through the hall.
Since he had time, Bai Ye checked the restricted area missions.
Eliminate ten targets...
Restricted Area Mission 1 was quite easy, wasn't it just killing ten people? Whether they were ghoul investigators or chosen participants from the enemy faction, it didn't matter.
Restricted Area Mission 2 overlapped with Restricted Area Mission 1. The ghoul faction would snatch Quinque, and the ghoul investigator faction would snatch Kagune. This could be completed concurrently with Restricted Area Mission 1.
Because, to plunder, one had to kill...
Of course, it was also possible that the opponent chickened out and willingly handed over their items.
But most of the time, it required killing. As for the discrepancy between the plunder count and the kill count for Mission 1, it was normal. Bai Ye was plundering, and others were also plundering. The opponent might not have only one Quinque or Kagune.
What perplexed Bai Ye was Restricted Area Mission 3!
Kaneki Ken?
Who was this?
Bai Ye showed a hint of confusion.
However, seeing the target's codename as "Eyepatch," Bai Ye had some recollection. Among the executives of Aogiri Tree, there was a white-haired kid. His mask covered the lower half of his face and also had an eyepatch, covering one eye.
Then the second question arose...
Rescue Kaneki Ken from Kōtarō Amon...
So, who was Kōtarō Amon?
A ghoul investigator?
Bai Ye couldn't help but scratch his head.
Regarding these matters, Bai Ye felt that memories from his previous life were often very useful.
The reason Bai Ye was confused right now was that he hadn't visited the Eerie Ghoul Zone in his previous life.
Therefore, Bai Ye knew nothing about the restricted areas here.
Thus, he couldn't directly decide his course of action based on his memories from his previous life.
Instead, he had to rely on his own judgment to complete the mission. 138 Reading Network
However, Bai Ye felt it wasn't a big problem. Could this stump him?
While pondering, Bai Ye had already reached a conclusion. Since he didn't know who Kōtarō Amon was, wasn't there still the target "Eyepatch"?
Since he had to rescue someone, that person had to be in trouble first. He just needed to keep an eye on Eyepatch.
As for whether he could rescue Eyepatch from Kōtarō Amon, Bai Ye didn't even consider it.
In Bai Ye's eyes, the skill level in this area was a bit low.
At least, the ghoul investigators and ghouls Bai Ye had seen so far were not impressive.
Let alone the ghoul investigators, among the ghouls, the strongest Bai Ye had encountered so far was Kiri Shima Tou. Roughly estimating his combat power...
Bai Ye thought he could defeat Kiri Shima Tou in about five minutes.
Of course, it was possible that Bai Ye hadn't encountered the top-tier fighters in this area yet.
Secondly, like the Jura Tempest Federation, looking back at Rimuru's strength now, Bai Ye didn't think much of it. However, the Jura Tempest Federation was clearly a high-level area, and Rimuru's strength was constantly evolving based on the progress of the world battlefield.
Bai Ye couldn't say whether such existences existed in the ghoul area, but if they did, the ghoul area might transform from a low-level area into a high-level area.
As Bai Ye was thinking, the three minutes had already passed.
The guards of the ghoul containment facility in front could not withstand the ghouls and were broken through, clearing a path. As the ghouls surged forward, it meant the restricted area had officially begun.
Bai Ye followed the ghouls inside, and then quickly discovered that the ghouls had scattered.
Bai Ye rubbed his chin. Although he had guessed the faction assignment correctly, the restricted area should not be activity based on factions, but still individual actions.
Meaning...
Even if he had entered the ghoul containment facility with Kiri Shima Tou from the start, he wouldn't be required to act together.
The bad news was...
Kaneki Ken had disappeared.
"Troublesome!"
Bai Ye complained helplessly.
With things as they were, he could only advance towards the depths of the ghoul containment facility.
As Bai Ye thought, he glanced at the screen.
This restricted area was quite thoughtful, even providing a map of the ghoul containment facility.
The ghoul containment facility was a huge cylindrical building. After passing through the surface structures, the entrance led underground.
The underground was the place where ghouls were imprisoned, a giant cylinder. Each floor was a cell, and the deeper one went, the higher the danger level of the imprisoned ghouls, including SS-rated ghouls.
As Bai Ye thought and advanced, suddenly...
A strong wind attacked from the side!
In the side corridor, a ghoul investigator waited silently against the wall. The moment Bai Ye walked past, he suddenly flashed out, raised his Quinque katana, and swept it horizontally towards Bai Ye.
Then...
Bai Ye suddenly reached out and grabbed the katana. He even made a delicate gesture with his fingers, deliberately raising three fingers.
The ghoul investigator's face showed horror. He tried to force the katana forward with all his might, but it was useless. He then resorted to forcefully pulling the katana, but it remained motionless.
Then...
*Zzzt!*
Electricity surged from Bai Ye's fingertips, quickly coiling around the katana.
In the next instant, with a crack, the katana shattered into pieces.
Bai Ye, holding the broken katana, then drew it across the opponent's throat...
*Pfft!*
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 of the restricted area wasn't something to worry about. His goal was the deepest part of the ghoul containment facility. If he hadn't killed ten ghoul investigators by the time he reached the end, it could only mean the defense was too poor.
What was truly troublesome...
Were the chosen participants!
Bai Ye's eyes suddenly sharpened. He condensed the Thunder Fang Fury Beast and flung it backward.
