Ghoul Containment Facility, the Lower Levels!
Boom!
Shindai Xiarong leaped up, then plummeted down from the air, stomping the ground with a heavy foot. Immediately, a booming sound erupted as the ground was shattered by the kick.
Amidst the dust, Bai Ye quickly leaped into the air, his massive wings unfurling, and then a large number of fire feathers rained down below.
Shindai Xiarong's movements were incredibly fast. He swiftly shifted his body, weaving through the fire feathers and dodging all the attacks.
Then…
He unleashed a punch!
However, this time Bai Ye had no intention of dodging.
Zzzt!
Shindai Xiarong's fist struck Bai Ye's chest, and then his body stumbled, passing right through Bai Ye.
Martial arts?
This was actually what Bai Ye feared the least. Pure physical attacks were useless against the elementalization of the Goro Goro no Mi.
However, Bai Ye was quite interested in "comprehensive martial arts techniques that surpass human limits," so he decided to try it out.
As it turned out…
It was indeed quite formidable!
But since he had already tasted it, it was time to end it all.
Shindai Xiarong's face still held a look of surprise, clearly not understanding what had happened. But Bai Ye had no intention of giving him much time to think.
Zzzt!
In an instant, a large amount of electricity surged from Bai Ye's body.
The current slid along the ground, and the leaping arcs of electricity, like a tide, rapidly surged towards Shindai Xiarong.
Shindai Xiarong quickly retreated, only to find that it wasn't just the ground.
Numerous arcs of electricity were also flickering in the surrounding air, converging towards him.
Shindai Xiarong's gaze sharpened, and then a large number of blood-colored bubbles appeared behind him, forming a Kagune like a whale's tail.
Bang!
The tail Kagune appeared and forcefully slammed the ground, sending Shindai Xiarong leaping into the air. He then grabbed the sky bridge above, avoiding the area covered by lightning.
"Using Kagune now?"
Bai Ye looked up, but at this moment…
"As participants have discovered and entered the restricted area Anteiku Cafe, all participants currently within the Ghoul Zone (within a three-kilometer radius of Anteiku Cafe) will be transported to the streets surrounding Anteiku Cafe in three minutes."

…
Suddenly, a light screen appeared before Bai Ye's eyes, and information about the opening of numerous restricted areas filled the screen.
What's going on?
Bai Ye was completely bewildered.
According to the information on the screen, a large number of restricted areas had opened in this region.
But…
Bai Ye was currently inside a restricted area!
Therefore, even if new restricted areas opened, it had nothing to do with Bai Ye, and he shouldn't have received any notification.
To take a step back, even if notifications could be received within restricted areas.
But the restricted areas in the Ghoul Zone forcibly teleported selected participants within a three-kilometer radius. These areas where restricted areas were opening could not possibly all be near the Ghoul Containment Facility, right?
However, Bai Ye's confusion didn't last long before it was resolved.
"As all restricted areas in the Ghoul Zone have opened, a large-scale restricted area - Ghoul Riot - has been triggered."
"All selected participants located within the Ghoul Zone will be within the restricted area."
"The duration of the restricted area is six hours. After six hours, the Ghoul Zone will be completely closed. Please leave within the specified time limit. Failure to leave the Ghoul Zone within the specified time limit will be at your own risk."
"The number of selected participants who can leave the Ghoul Zone is: 10% of the total number of selected participants currently in the area (once the maximum number is reached, participants cannot leave the Ghoul Zone even if within the time limit)."
"Reward for the first selected participant to leave the Ghoul Zone: One random gold-quality item of a specified category."
"Reward for the first ten selected participants to leave the Ghoul Zone: One random gold-quality item."
"Reward for the first fifty selected participants to leave the Ghoul Zone: One random red-quality item."
"Reward for selected participants who successfully leave the Ghoul Zone: One random black-quality item."
"Reward for defeating the Ghoul Special Class Investigator, the undefeated Ghoul Investigator - Kōtarō Amon: One random gold-quality item."
"Reward for defeating the Ghoul Investigation Organization CCG Director - Kichimura Washuu: One random gold-quality item."
"Reward for defeating the SS-rated Ghoul - The One-Eyed Owl: One random gold-quality item."
"Reward for defeating the SS-rated Ghoul - The Non-Killing Owl: One random gold-quality item."
"Reward for defeating the SS-rated Ghoul - Ken Kaneki (Dragon Form): One random gold-quality item of a specified category."
…
In an instant, the screen before Bai Ye's eyes was instantly filled, and Bai Ye was stunned.
A large-scale restricted area has already opened?
No, why would a large-scale restricted area open now?
Bai Ye was a bit frantic. The progress was wrong!
The world battlefield had been open for a year and a half at most, transitioning from the early to the middle stages.
If we were more precise, the middle stage of the world battlefield was the longest period. They were currently in the early to mid-stage.
The opening of a large-scale restricted area could be seen as a transition between periods, specifically from the mid-to-late stage to the late stage of the world battlefield.
This could be seen from the items produced in the large-scale restricted areas, which directly included gold-quality items!
Even the "consolation prize" for successfully leaving the restricted area was a black-quality item.
But was this a good thing?
It seemed like a good thing, even enough to make one ecstatic, after all, it could produce gold-quality items, and in large quantities.
But in reality…
It might not be a good thing!
Because…
Many people would truly die!
Many, many people!
