Chapter 117: It's just beginning
Su Xiao returned to his room in the temporary branch. He and Kisho Arima agreed to leave here in ten hours.
The journey of more than a dozen hours deep into the 24th district along with the constant fighting had left him a little tired.
Moreover, after they arrived at the Snail, it would be chaotic, and they would have to accompany Takatsuki..
In these ten hours, he should have fully recovered, at the very least, he should have gotten some sleep.
After taking a hot bath, Su Xiao got into bed and remembered that the blue treasure chest that fell from Kaneki Ken wasn't opened yet.
Events followed one another and he didn't have time to open this treasure chest.
As for expectations, Su Xiao wasn't very optimistic about this chest.
Although this chest was of blue quality, Kaneki Ken wasn't very strong and wasn't the "main character" in the literal sense of the word.
More importantly, his luck of one unit spoke volumes.
After taking out the treasure chest, it suddenly began to shine with the color of indigo and somewhat resembled a sapphire.
Deciding to open it, the flash he expected never came.
[You have opened the treasure chest (blue).
You have received 3000 Paradise coins.
You have received 300 Paradise coins.

Description: Fate is unpredictable, luck or bad luck? Or...
Price: 10,000 Paradise coins.]
Su Xiao had obtained a total of 4,300 Paradise Coins, which was quite a good amount for his current progress.
As for the "Coin of Fate", Su Xiao was somewhat confused by this item.
In fact terms, when using it, he could get a 50% probability of a positive effect and a 49% probability of a negative effect, but nothing was said about the remaining 1%..
Su Xiao didn't like this item. He decided to sell this coin after returning to Paradise. After all, it was a blue item, so it could be sold at a very good price.
After opening this chest, Su Xiao fell fast asleep. He had a vague feeling that it wouldn't be long before he could get a good rest.
----
*Knock, knock, knock*
There was a knock on the door. Su Xiao, who was sleeping, immediately sat up and grabbed his sword.
— Who? " he asked.
— Kisho Arima's voice came from outside the door, and Su Xiao put away his sword and got up from the bed.
— Had it already been ten hours? Haha~.
With a sigh, Su Xiao carefully dressed and washed his face. When conditions allowed, he preferred to be clean.
— It's been twelve hours, and Takatsuki Sen was seriously injured by you, so I delayed our departure a bit. And someone wanted to break into her room.
Su Xiao was shocked, did someone find out about their plans? But after a few moments, he thought of another possibility.
— Akira Mado?
— Right.
It wasn't unexpected, but because of Kisho Arima, Akira Mado couldn't do anything to Takatsuki..
— It's time to leave.
Su Xiao and the others headed towards the Snail in the 23rd district. Takatsuki Sen was placed in the backseat and cuffed in a pair of kuinke steel handcuffs.
Half an hour later, they arrived at Ulitka.
There were many investigators in this prison, and the walls of this place were more than ten meters high.
Although ten meters wasn't much of an obstacle for ghouls, this prison was built with all the latest technology in mind.
Their car pulled up to the main entrance and was immediately stopped by security guards.
— Please show your ID card.
Although the guards recognized Kisho Arima, they still had to check the documents carefully.
After checking, the guards let them in, and they slowly drove into the Snail.
— This cursed place will be destroyed sooner or later, " Takatsuki Sen clenched her fists and breathed heavily.
When they got out of the car, Su Xiao and Kisho Arima took Takatsuki Sen by the arms and walked towards the building.
— Kisho Arima, how many years how many winters, " said an old investigator with a pale face and pale yellow hair.
— Kyouji Misaka, long time no see.
Kyouji Misaka was the director of this prison and managed everything here. This old investigator had great strength, but he was appointed director of the prison because he had grown old and was no longer at the peak of his form.
Investigators who managed to live to an old age were rare, but he was eventually sent to run the ghoul prison. It was only through this that it became apparent that the relationship between Kyouji Misaka and the management of the Ghoul Control Department was not easy.
Kyouji Misaka stared at Su Xiao for a while, but didn't say anything and started showing them the way.
This man seemed to have real power and was a bit of a snob, for he didn't care about Su Xiao with his very low position by his standards.
Su Xiao chuckled and led Takatsuki Sen to the prison.
They had to take the elevator to get to the right place, and none of the four people in the elevator said a word.
Soon, the elevator doors opened and several people got out. The interior of the ghoul prison was shaped like a cylinder. The center of this prison was the elevator where people went up and down, as well as the control room and other departments. There were cells in the surrounding walls, and all of them contained ghouls, and they were clearly divided into sectors. Each sector was accessed by a road with metal railings around the edges, and each sector had ladders for ascending and descending.
All the ghoul cages were made of metal.
— Kyouji Misaka, is my kuinkyo ready? Su Xiao suddenly asked. Matsuri Washu promised him that after he returned with Kisho Arima, his kuinkyo would be ready.
When Kyouji Misaka heard Su Xiao's question, he suddenly stopped and his expression turned grim.
— Not yet, it will take at least half a month.
— Su Xiao's eyes narrowed. He may have decided to make things difficult for him. In half a month, he will be back in Paradise.
— As far as I know, it doesn't take more than twenty-seven hours to cook a quinque. Is there an accident, Kyouji Misaka?" Kisho Arima said this because he knew that if he didn't get into a fight now, the situation would get very bad.
Kisho Arima's words stunned Kyouji Misaka, and he began to think about the relationship between the two investigators. He couldn't hurt Kisho Arima. Although their positions in the Office were the same, the person in front of him was, after all, a member of "that" organization.
— There was some accident during production, they eliminate the defect in a special nutrient medium. I'm afraid that the quality of the quinque will be lower than necessary. If no one cares about the quality of the quinque, you can go to the lab after you put it in the cage. Kyouji Misaki's tone changed slightly, and now he literally stated that Su Xiao could have picked up kuinkyo at any time.
Perhaps Matsuri Washu had asked him to deliberately make things difficult for Su Xiao, but Kisho Arima had helped this old man get on the right track.
— Put her in a cage first, " Kyouji Misaka said, and looked at Takatsuki Sen hungrily. The kuinkyo he was using right now was of the "S+" class, and when she was put in the cage, he would have the opportunity to get an "SSS" level kakuhou.».
After all, kakuji had several kakuhou, and nothing terrible would happen if he took just one.
Soon, several people came to the dangerous detention area under heavy security. As soon as Su Xiao entered it, a sword appeared in his hands.
*Pouf!*
A long sword pierced through someone's heart, and Kyouji Misaka looked at the tip of the sword that was sticking out of his shoulder.
— What, what are you... Kyouji Misaka fell to the ground, and blood began to flow out from under his body. With such a sudden attack, this truly experienced investigator didn't even have the chance to fight back. Moreover, he was old. He was so old that in the original story, he was killed by Totoro in a matter of seconds due to making the most banal mistake due to his arrogance.
*Crackle!*
Takatsuki Sen's shackles shattered into pieces.
It was just getting started.
