Tokyo: Simulation Begins with the Big Sister Next Door

After the initial surprise, the two walked side by side, as if their relationship had grown a little closer.

After deliberately and unintentionally revealing that they were neighbors, An Zeliang then began to intentionally or unintentionally steer the conversation toward the recent serial killer.

He wanted to try and get some information about the murderer from Nakano. After all, the Nakano family was a yakuza family with connections and resources.

"Serial killer? Hmm, I've heard of that too. There are serial killers who commit crimes on the street where we live." The innocent Aoi answered Anze Liang's question.

She paused, then looked at An Zeliang: "An Zeliang, you need to be careful lately. This murderer may still be lurking around. He's very dangerous."

“My sister-in-law even upgraded the home security system and hired several very skilled bodyguards because of this murderer.”

“Even when I go to and from school, my sister-in-law probably sends bodyguards to accompany me. No, given my sister-in-law’s personality, she definitely sends bodyguards, but they just won’t show up randomly.”

As Aoi said this, she glanced back at the crowded people, but she couldn't see any bodyguards.

"Your sister-in-law is so good to you," An Zeliang said sincerely.

However, he was struck by how naive Aoi was, easily revealing many secrets.

This also proves that Aoi truly considers herself a friend.

However, An Zeliang truly envied his wife's family.

The detached villa has been upgraded with a new security system, greatly enhancing its safety. With bodyguards protecting them, a mere murderer poses no threat to their sister-in-law and younger sister.

Looking at my own apartment building, I don't feel very safe.

No, it should be said that there is absolutely no sense of security.

In the simulator, the simulated personality was killed by a murderer while sleeping. Ordinary door locks and the like offer absolutely no security!

An Zeliang strongly suspected that the serial killer was the one who killed him, so he decided to take some security measures in his home to avoid being targeted by the killer.

As for security measures... although we can't upgrade to a whole security system like a villa, adding more door and window locks should still do some good.

The only ways to get into the house are through the door and the window. Although the floor is not low and it is impossible for an ordinary person to climb in through the window, An Zeliang decided to put multiple locks on the doors and windows for safety reasons.

The two chatted about the murderer and before they knew it, they were almost home. They could already see the detached villa from a distance.

An Zeliang couldn't help but ask a curious question: "Nakano-kun, why is your mansion opposite an ordinary apartment building? Shouldn't it be in some wealthy area or villa area? That would be much safer."

“This is my father’s family’s ancestral land. My grandfather’s generation has lived here, so my brother and I have always lived here as well,” Aoi replied simply.

“So it’s a family living here,” An Zeliang said, looking at the small villa.

"No, now it's just me and my sister-in-law. My father and brother have both passed away..." Nakano Aoi's mood became somewhat low when she mentioned her deceased relatives, and it was clear that she was feeling very down.

"...I'm sorry, I didn't know your family was in this situation."

"It's okay, it's all in the past." Nakano Aoi suppressed her sadness and forced a smile. She didn't want to put any psychological pressure on Anze.

An Zeliang was silent for a while, then comforted him, "If you need anything in the future, such as math problems, I can help you solve them."

His words of comfort made Nakano Aoi smile.

She suddenly realized that Anze was not only smart and kind, but also very good at 'comforting' people.

Before I knew it, I had arrived at my doorstep.

Time always flies when you're chatting. Even though they were walking very slowly, it was still time to part ways.

Even though they had only just met, Nakano Aoi felt a strange pang of reluctance and wanted to say something more.

This was the first time in a long time that she had opened up about her feelings. Although she hadn't fully revealed them yet…

"Well then, Nakano-kun, see you tomorrow." Yasuzawa Ryo stopped at the apartment door and said goodbye.

"Okay, see you tomorrow, Anze."

The two greeted each other and then went their separate ways.

Watching Nakano Aoi enter the mansion, Yasuzawa Ryo also turned to enter his apartment.

Just then, the apartment door was opened from the inside.

Two men dressed as police officers came out, seemingly discussing some case.

Could he be a murderer?

An Zeliang raised an eyebrow. Thinking about the scenario of his own death in the simulation, he decided to communicate with the police to see if he could obtain any useful information.

"Officer, are you investigating a case?"

"Well, what's the matter?"

An Zeliang recalled the voice of the murderer in the simulation, and asked indirectly, "I heard that the man who was killed on the eighth floor was a scumbag?"

"Could the murderer be a woman seeking revenge on a scumbag boyfriend or on society?"

"Where did you hear this news from? Don't believe rumors. Investigating cases is our job as police officers, and we will investigate it seriously. You are a student, so you should focus on your studies and not let your mind wander."

"Go home quickly."

The police officer clearly didn't want to talk to An Zeliang, the high school student. After speaking, he turned and left, looking somewhat annoyed.

An Zeliang was speechless.

Just then, he heard the same policeman who had ignored him earlier complaining to another policeman.

“If this case weren’t related to a serial killer, it would be the easiest way to handle it as a suicide case.”

"Case studies that lack any detailed clues are too troublesome to investigate."

"Yeah, I've been working the night shift every day these past few days, I'm so sleepy."

An Zeliang's eyes twitched slightly, and he was speechless for a moment: "Truly worthy of being a policeman from the land of the Japanese."

Judging from the attitude of these two people, he had already given up hope that the police would solve the case.

Indeed, we still need to protect ourselves.

"Anze-kun, you seem really concerned about the case on the eighth floor. Is it because you're a scumbag too?"

Suddenly, a soft voice sounded in my left ear, and a gentle breath was blown, as if it were very close.

An Zeliang was startled and turned around abruptly, instinctively ready to attack. Then he realized that the speaker was none other than his female neighbor, the Lolita girl, whom he had interacted with before.

An Zeliang finally breathed a sigh of relief and slowly loosened his clenched fist.

He was just startled.

The girl's sudden voice sent chills down An Zeliang's spine, making his hair stand on end. It was the same terrifying feeling he had when someone spoke in his ear before he was killed during the simulation.

"Why don't you walk silently?" An Zeliang asked, somewhat annoyed, his tone unfriendly.

"Hey, Anze-kun, your reaction was really strong, it scared me."

The Lolita girl was clearly startled by An Zeliang's reaction, but she quickly recovered, covered her mouth and chuckled, looking at An Zeliang with her slightly narrowed, crescent-shaped eyes, "Could it be that An Zeliang really thinks he'll be the next target?"

"So, Anze-kun, are you really the kind of man who likes to abandon girls and mess around outside?"

The girl lowered her voice slightly, speaking these words with profound meaning, her gaze fixed directly on An Zeliang.

"How could I possibly mess around? I'm just a high school student. What kind of scumbag could I be? I don't even have the qualifications to be one." An Zeliang's eyelids twitched, and he chuckled dryly as he changed the subject, "By the way, how did you know my surname?"

An Zeliang suddenly thought of this matter and looked at the yandere girl with a somewhat suspicious gaze.

"Isn't there one at your doorstep? Does Anze-kun think I can't read?" The girl looked puzzled, her eyes filled with suspicion as she looked at Anze Liang.

Anze Liang was momentarily dazed before awkwardly remembering that in Sakura Country, there was a custom that every household would display their surname outside their front door.

"...Um, I haven't finished my homework yet. I have a lot of homework today, so I'll go back and do it first. Goodbye." An Zeliang casually made up an excuse and stepped into the elevator that had just come down.

"Ok?"

The girl tilted her head slightly, watching An Zeliang enter the elevator. As she watched his figure disappear into the elevator, her eyes slowly narrowed into crescents, lost in thought.

Chapter 10, Section 10: Simulation Begins, No Merchant Is Honest

in the apartment.

An Zeliang entered the room, casually tossed his schoolbag onto the sofa, walked to the refrigerator, opened the refrigerator door, looked around, and found only a bottle of iced cola.

"I need to find some time to get some junk food," An Zeliang thought to himself, as he opened an iced cola and gulped down a big mouthful.

The cool sensation relieved the fatigue from walking.

Sitting on the sofa, An Zeliang took out his phone, drank a Coke, opened a shopping website, and started searching for items such as door and window locks.

After browsing for a while, he ordered several pieces of equipment and locks to reinforce doors and windows.

After placing the order, An Zeliang turned off his phone, got up and walked to the window. Looking at the scenery outside, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

It is unknown how the murderer entered the room.

From this window?

Or did they pry open the door?

However, judging from the opponent's immense strength, he truly lived up to his reputation as a serial killer. An Zeliang even had a feeling that even in a head-on confrontation, he might not be a match for him.

"However, I'm not a scumbag in real life, so I probably wouldn't be a target for a murderer right now..." An Zeliang comforted himself.

I never imagined that on the second day of my journey through Tokyo, I would have to be careful about my personal safety. I'm definitely one of the most tragic time travelers of the year.

After checking the windows and locking them, he temporarily calmed down.

A little hungry.

An Zeliang pondered, feeling that he should learn to cook to improve his quality of life, which would likely earn him more points.

but.

If I could find a girlfriend who can cook, I suppose that would improve my quality of life, right?

With that in mind, An Zeliang started cooking according to the online tutorials.

As expected, it ended in failure once again.

After having a simple dinner, it was 7:50 p.m.

An Zeliang lay in bed again and watched videos for more than an hour before finally falling asleep, leaving his phone beside his pillow.
