I am the emotional sustenance of your deceased

"..."

Yes, I have.

"What does Xiao Deng think?"

"I want to...stay in Japan with Xiao Sui, go to get off work and go home with her, go out and play together...a daily life like this is very ordinary, but even if it's just this, I will be very satisfied."

I don’t want to be someone else’s savior...Takamatsu Deng has already found his own savior.

What she wanted to do was simply to be with Chitose!

But, but Chitose...

Qiansui is destined to be a woman who cannot be locked by the lamp.

She came faster than a gust of wind, and now she is about to disappear without a trace like lightning.

Do I really have the ability to keep up with the other person?

"She said I could be someone else's savior, but I've always been the one being saved by them. But I know I'm not the only one she's saved..."

Now it seems that I am not talking to my mother on the phone, but negotiating with my own heart.

"Maybe, I should let Xiao Sui go. Xiao Sui still needs to bring light to more people, and I am just a passerby who is being warmed. Mom, what should I do? This question is so difficult, I really..."

I really don’t know how to choose.

Choked, intermittent, with the voice sometimes high and sometimes low, this is how Gao Songdeng speaks now.

"Ugh…"

The light across from him sighed, his words mixed with joy and sorrow but still very gentle: "Little Deng, you are a big boy now. Whatever choice you make is fine. Mom and Dad will not stop you."

"Choose a path you won't regret."

It's... this sentence again!

“I! I…”

A path that I won't regret.

What a path you won’t regret!

This path is for me to choose, but can I really make the right choice?

Gao Songdeng hung up the phone and drank the last sip of wine in the box.

She took one last look at their office and left without even having time to savor what had happened there.

"I'm going to... look for Xiaosui!"

She seemed to have made some kind of decision.

It was ten ten in the evening.

……

The time goes back to one hour ago.

Noshiro Chitose was waiting for the lights to arrive at the dock.

As expected, today was her last day in the simulation, so she did not choose to linger on the wine.

"Why are you so confident that someone would come here and kill you?"

The system turned into a wisp of evening breeze, chattering in Qiansui's ears.

"Have you forgotten the talent I chose? And even if no one comes to end me, don't I still have you, my dear Tongbao?"

Qiansui stretched out his hand and tried to catch the warm breeze, but it was no use.

"You've changed so quickly, I'm a little uncomfortable with it."

"Because I'm still drunk. Hehe, after getting drunk I'm not so sober anymore. It paralyzes my nerves and makes me do unimaginable bad woman things."

Take everything slowly.

Chitose Noshiro felt that she was becoming more and more relaxed. Maybe next time she wouldn't even need the help of alcohol to transform herself into a bad woman.

"Good luck."

"Lend your auspicious words."

What a weird conversation! This heartless system is so despicable and stupid.

In the next simulation, can we also let the system play a role to cooperate with us?

While Noshiro Chitose was thinking, she heard the clanging sound of leather shoes hitting the soles from her left front.

"coming."

The woman covered in blood walked slowly towards Chitose Noshiro, holding a large machete.

"Hey, I'm talking to you, you..." the middle-aged woman muttered in an obscure accent.

Qiansui did not answer, but wanted to see what this person wanted to say next.

"Why are you so beautiful? My husband never comes home. Is it because he was seduced away by someone like you?"

This is the motive for murder.

Qiansui swallowed his saliva. Although he knew that there was a high probability that he would be killed by the other party, he still felt afraid of facing death.

"Speak up, are you? Ahhhhhhhh!"

"Huh? Um, um, what..."

The woman screamed and rushed over, brandishing the machete.

Chitose blinked.

[Xiao Deng, tomorrow or an accident, which one do you think will come first?]

Ch33. Indiscriminate killings at the port

Traffic jam.

This was the first time that Takamatsu Deng hated traffic jams so much.

Normally there wouldn't be traffic jams at this time, but today it was so congested that she felt like she had seen a ghost, making her feel anxious.

She sat in the back seat of the taxi and kept calling Chitose, but the other party never answered.

"Why, are you calling your friend?"

The driver was a very beautiful woman, but strangely, she had no expression on her face and her tone was as cold as an artificial intelligence.

"Yeah, but she seemed drunk or asleep and didn't answer at all."

"Why don't you send her a message? It's not safe to go somewhere so far alone so late at night."

Deng looked at the other person's beautiful face through the mirror in front of the car, but she had no intention of caring about it.

My mind is really full of Chitose Noshiro.

"No, I have an appointment with her and I have something important to say. If I don't go..."

"There has been a serious traffic accident on the road ahead and the route has been blocked."

The radio made an inopportune sound, causing Gao Songdeng to shut his mouth immediately.

"Why, do you still want to go now? There aren't many routes to that drunkard's pier, and this one might not be in time until tomorrow morning."

“Well, well…”

Takamatsu Deng's brain was working at full capacity, thinking about the current solution.

She had broken the appointment for a long time. Xiaosui had clearly said that they would meet after get off work, but she had been hesitant until just now when she made up her mind to meet him.

No matter what, she must meet Chitose Noshiro!

Whether I agree or refuse, as long as I see Chitose Noshiro, I will make a decision!

"I'm going to Tokyo International Airport. Is this okay?"

Just wait there until seven o'clock tomorrow morning, Chitose will arrive, and then they can... go abroad together!

"sure."

As expected, the female driver glanced at Gao Songdeng and began to reposition herself.

[I'm sure Xiao Sui will be very surprised to see me tomorrow!]

Takamatsu Deng did not give up sending messages to Chitose Noshiro, even though the conspicuous "unread" marks made her feel uneasy.

But this uneasiness is so insignificant in the face of a brand new life.

"I want to run away with Xiaosui."

Even as an adult who's been through the wringer of society, do you still harbor unrealistic aspirations? Gao Songdeng has already started researching tips for life in the United States on his phone.

That's the way it is.

……

It was still early when Takamatsu Deng arrived at the airport.

If she went to a hotel near the airport to rest, it seemed that she would not have enough time, and she had no appetite at the moment.

So Deng sat in a chair in front of the check-in counter in a daze.

Perhaps because it was early in the morning, or perhaps because it was not the peak tourist season, the airport was deserted, like the kitchen of the god of death.

Because Takamatsu Deng drank too much and didn't get enough sleep, it felt like there was a broken fan spinning in his head.

She didn't want to read the books at the airport, nor did she have the energy to buy some food at the 24-hour convenience store. She could only sip the last box of Demon Slayer wine.

When she took her second sip, her attention was drawn to the radio next to her.

"To repeat, early this morning near the docks in northern Akabane, Tokyo, a female homeless person indiscriminately attacked people with a machete-like weapon."

"We have received information that the police have arrested the female suspect after the incident."

"The casualties caused by this case are not yet clear. The police are currently..."

"..."

There were a few more words after that, but Gao Songdeng couldn't hear them clearly.

The broadcast was still going on, and there were still only a few people at the airport. The wine box in his hand fell to the ground, and the wine jumped out like tears in Deng's eyes.

“This place…”

Deng kept calling Chitose.

Once, twice, countless times, no one answered.

She stood there in a daze, and finally ran out like a flash.

He stomped on the Demon Slayer Wine and exploded it, but no one cared.

"You're overthinking it."

……

"Breaking news, the indiscriminate murderer at Akabane Wharf has been…"

"Twelve dead, three seriously injured..."

"During the investigation, the police discovered signs of the murder weapon being swung at the body multiple times..."

"The defendant claimed that her husband had been cheating on her for a long time..."

The story ends.

The mourning hall, a place that Gao Songdeng would never have thought he would visit before he turned thirty.

Qiansui's funeral hall was at Deng's house. Deng got the key to Qiansui's house from the police. The house was full of alcohol and there was no space to clean up.

So Deng set up a mourning hall for Qiansui in his own home.

She leaned against the corner with a dazed look in her eyes, like a fish struggling on land.

"..."

Chitose is dead.
