Tokyo: Simulation Begins with the Big Sister Next Door

Because it wasn't too far from where I lived, I quickly arrived at my destination by taxi.

"How do we find the killer's base?"

Standing at the entrance of the residential compound, An Zeliang pondered for a moment and decided to start checking each household one by one.

According to the clues given in the simulation, Junichi Watanabe's murder base was in the basement.

Therefore, the first thing to do is to confirm whether the buildings in this community have basements.

Just as An Zeliang was about to step into the residential area, a voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Hey! You brat, stop right there!"

An Zeliang paused, turned around, and saw several figures striding towards him in the darkness.

As they got closer, the first thing that caught the eye was their brightly colored hair and their strangely dressed clothes.

You can tell at a glance from their appearance that these guys are biker gangs.

The young man leading the group, in particular, had a samurai ponytail hairstyle that looked incredibly childish and immature.

However, they look somewhat familiar... Oh, it's them.

"You idiot! You brat, what are you looking at? Who let you into our neighborhood so late? Are you trying to steal something?"

The thug with the samurai-like haircut spoke arrogantly, clenching his fist and glaring at An Zeliang: "If you don't hand over something today... you... you... you are!?"

The samurai-headed thug stopped mid-sentence, then stared at the person in front of him in disbelief.

After scrutinizing him repeatedly, his expression suddenly changed. He was so frightened that he took several steps back and then turned to run away, but was grabbed by the arms of his two henchmen on either side.

"Big brother, big brother, what's wrong?"

"Brother, we haven't received our protection money yet today. Are we going home so soon?"

"Big brother, didn't you say you collected protection money tonight and were going to Hokkaido with Miss Reiko tomorrow?"

"Why go to Hokkaido! If we don't leave now, I won't even be able to see Miss Reiko tomorrow!" The samurai leader was so anxious that he wanted to curse and struggled to break free from the control.

"what?"

The thugs, confused, looked at An Zeliang.

But as they watched, their expressions suddenly turned terrified, as if they had seen some kind of demon.

The image of a group of them being brutally beaten by one person flashed through everyone's minds.

run! Run!

Just as the group's expressions changed drastically and they were about to run away, An Zeliang appeared beside them without them noticing, grabbing the samurai-headed thug's shoulder with one hand.

"Everyone, don't rush off."

"Since you're already here, you might as well do me a small favor."

With a gentle smile on his face, An Zeliang tightened his grip slightly, causing the samurai-headed thug to show a pained expression, but he forced himself to remain silent.

"You, you let go of our eldest brother!"

Although the other thugs were not subdued, they did not escape either. Instead, they shouted at An Zeliang in a cowardly and fearful manner.

"Huh?" An Zeliang turned to look at them, and the group trembled again in fright.

Despite the pain in his shoulder, the samurai-headed thug forced a smile and quickly asked, "Brother Liang, what can I do for you? Just tell us! We'll definitely help you!"

"It's nothing serious, I just need you to help me find a basement," An Zeliang said with a smile.

"The...basement!?"

Upon hearing those three words, the samurai-headed thug trembled in fear, and an image involuntarily flashed through his mind.

He and his brothers were tied up in the basement and then cruelly tortured by this demon, who used all sorts of torture instruments on them.

No matter how much he cried for help, no one could hear him.

It was absolutely... utterly dark!

"Brother Liang! Brother Liang! Please, please let us go!"

"I still have family to take care of. I have parents to support, and children to raise..."

"Shut up, you're too noisy!" An Zeliang shouted, and the samurai-headed thug was immediately silenced.

The thugs didn't dare to breathe loudly.

For some reason, this guy's aura seems even more terrifying than last time!

It was as if a powerful yakuza boss who commanded thousands of people was standing in front of him.

This terrifying aura was something they had never seen before.

"Next,"

"I said, you do it."

An Zeliang calmly stated his request.

"Hey hey!!"

The thugs dared not disobey, fearing they would be beaten. After receiving their orders, they hurriedly ran into the residential area.

then.

An Zeliang sat at the entrance of the residential area waiting for news.

After about half an hour of repeated searching, the thugs returned and reported that they had confirmed that this old building did not have a basement.

"Isn't there a basement?" An Zeliang pondered.

That would eliminate the first suspected crime scene.

"Let's check the other two tomorrow," An Zeliang thought to himself.

"Brother Liang, can we...can we go now?"

The thugs asked cautiously.

An Zeliang glanced at them and said, "Don't let me see you bullying people again next time."

"Hi!!"

"get out."

After driving away a few thugs, An Zeliang was a little tired and prepared to go home to rest.

arrive home.

After washing up, An Zeliang lay on the bed, recalling the simulation process, his mind filled with many thoughts.

From Tamamo Yuki's murder to the neighbor's wife...

In fact, as long as you follow the behavior of the simulated personality, you can win over your wife in real life.

but,

This would be a huge blow to Aoi's young mind.

In the simulation, Aoi couldn't accept being with his wife, so he chose to study abroad and didn't return home for several years.

This doesn't feel right.

Lost in thought, An Zeliang fell asleep.

I had many dreams throughout the night.

the next day.

Six o'clock in the morning.

An Zeliang was brushing his teeth when the daily settlement began.

"Open my personal panel," An Zeliang silently told himself.
