Tokyo: Simulation Begins with the Big Sister Next Door

"Ms. Hayano!"

An Zeliang started waving from afar, looking quite happy.

"Damn it! This guy was waiting for me!"

Feeling awkward, Hayano Hoshiko could only force a smile and walk towards Anze Ryo, greeting him, "Anze-kun, why haven't you gone home yet?"

"Mr. Hayano, it's still early, let's play a few games," Yasuzawa Ryo said with a smile.

Hey Hey hey!

How could you so blatantly ignore the teacher's question!

Hayano Hoshiko was exasperated, but she didn't want to ask again.

"Okay." Hayano Hoshiko agreed to the invitation to play games.

However, her relationship with An Zeliang could never return to the pure one it had been just two days ago.

Hayano Hoshiko felt that Yasuzawa Ryo was looking at her strangely, making her hair stand on end, as if she were naked.

He walked in silence for a while.

Hayano Hoshiko felt that as a teacher, she should try to salvage her image. Pretending not to care, she looked at Anze Ryo and said, "Um, Anze-kun, about those toys from yesterday, actually, they were all bought by my cousin. I don't know what they are. I was just keeping an eye on them for her."

"Yes, yes! I know!" An Zeliang nodded, his face full of belief.

"..."

Hayano Hoshiko was numb, and her feelings were even more indescribable.

This guy definitely knows what that is!

Ugh... How awful! As a teacher, why do I have to be afraid of my own students?!

Soon, we arrived at the arcade.

The two began another one-on-one King of Fighters match.

This time, Hayano-sensei was in a fierce mood, determined to beat up Anze Ryo to vent her anger.

after an hour.

Seeing the score of 0:19, Hayano Hoshiko became even more annoyed.

Not only was her secret exposed, but she also couldn't win the game. This damned student had kept her on edge all day. Hayano Hoshiko finally snapped, angrily saying, "Anze-kun, how do you know so much? How could a boy like you even know the model number?!"

"Model number? Does the teacher mean the game?"

"..."

Hayano Hoshiko choked, feeling even more uncomfortable.

Anze Liang noticed the change in Hayano-sensei's expression and stopped teasing her. He then blinked and said, "Maybe it's because I'm diligent and eager to learn?"

"........."

Hayano Hoshiko was even more devastated by this answer.

God's a god for being diligent and studious...

Is he the one sent by God to punish me?

They discovered my secret and they're even better at video games than me... It's outrageous!

The more I think about it, the angrier I get.

"Don't fight, don't fight!"

"I want to go home!!"

But as she left the arcade, Hoshiko Hayano realized that if the secret were exposed, she would be in deep trouble.

This problem must be solved.

She paused, turned to look at An Zeliang, and said with a serious expression, "An Zeliang, if you promise me you won't tell anyone about those things, I'll treat you to a nice meal every week, and I can play games with you online anytime. Just call me and I'll be online. How about that?"

She attempted to establish three rules with An Zeliang.

"I see... No problem!"

Upon hearing this, An Zeliang...

He agreed on the spot.

Now we can have a regular teacher to help us accumulate points!

then.

The two parted ways at the intersection.

As she was leaving, Ms. Hayano kept reminding him, "Don't tell anyone else, or I'll definitely not let you off the hook!"

Thinking about Hayano-sensei's "fierce" threat, Yasuzawa Ryo found it rather cute.

"I feel like I have something on the teacher's mind."

An Zeliang suddenly thought to himself.

If it were a simulated personality, having this leverage would probably allow them to do whatever they want under the pretext of "Teacher, you don't want others to know about xxx," right?

hiss.

Why am I so tempted? Damn it, I've been corrupted by these simulated personalities!

……

It's about a ten-minute walk.

back home.

After changing his shoes, An Zeliang took out a bottle of cola and began studying the serial killer again.

He thought of the scenario in the simulation where the killer tried to kill him.

This might be a clue.

Just like when the scumbag assassin suddenly came to kill him before, he still doesn't understand why the scumbag assassin suddenly tried to kill him during that simulation.

Therefore, he needs to figure out why the killer killed him, which will definitely help him find the killer in reality.

Is it because of Tamamo-san?

An Zeliang was deep in thought.

perhaps.

Tamamo Yuki holds a special place in the heart of the serial killer.

Otherwise, this murderer wouldn't have waited until Tamamo Yuki came of age to kill her on her birthday.

Thinking about it, right now.

An Zeliang's phone received another message from his sister's new number, featuring an anime cartoon avatar, asking what he was doing.

"Researching how to kill."

An Zeliang replied casually.

Then, seeing that her sister wasn't replying, she continued to study the documents on the table.

A few minutes later, the phone vibrated again.

It was a message from my sister.

"Are you kidding me? You... you didn't kill someone and then hide them in the refrigerator, planning how to dispose of the body, did you?"

The message that followed was a series of startled emojis.

"?????"

An Zeliang looked puzzled.

Chapter 83, Section 81: Is my sister really so unconcerned about appearances?!

An Zeliang was completely puzzled.

Although I know that Chizuru is a heavyweight pervert, her ability to make connections is just too outstanding.

It's amazing that it could accurately guess that it had been stuffed into a refrigerator before.

She really understands her younger brother so well.

At that moment, Chizuru sent another message.

Why are you studying murder? Is there some particular reason?

An Zeliang stopped joking and steered the conversation back to the main topic, explaining, "Researching methods of murder isn't because I actually want to kill. It's because I'm preparing to write a suspense novel and I'm brainstorming ideas for the villainous serial killer character."

"I'm thinking that researching the possible personality traits and psychological states of a serial killer more thoroughly will enhance the reader's immersion and make the writing more compelling,"

An Zeliang fooled Qianhe-jie by using the excuse of writing a novel.

That way, Sister Chizuru won't worry about me.

"So this is ah."

"Um, Sister Chizuru, do you have any suggestions? For example, under what psychological circumstances would a serial rapist and murderer continue to focus on the children of the victims he killed?" An Zeliang typed his question.

Based on the information from the simulation that Tamamo was killed on her eighteenth birthday, it can be inferred that the killer had been observing Tamamo for many years.

It's even possible that he's been lurking around Tamamo Yuki all along!

So, what was his mental state when he committed such a perverted act?

A few minutes later, Chizuru replied to the message.

"Paying attention to the victim's children? Only a psychopath would do that. But it does fit the persona of a serial rapist and murderer."

"If we were to write his reasons for doing this, I think we could write that he was enjoying the process? Enjoying the pain of the families of the people he killed, and then turning the pain of the innocent into his own pleasure."

Chizuru's analysis made An Zeliang nod slightly, as it coincided with his own.

The most reasonable explanation is that this murderer must have been monitoring the victim's child for the sake of enjoyment.
