Unusual Fate Records

Chapter 136 007. A Young Girl's Thoughts
Sada Haruko stared at him resentfully.

Her cheeks were bulging, but she wouldn't chew.

Seeing that she wasn't eating, Jin Ziyue didn't pay much attention and started eating by himself.

Haruko Sada said angrily, "Hey, this is mine!"

The man swallowed quickly, and in no time he had finished half a plate of curry rice.

Haruko Sada realized that verbal protests were ineffective, and in a moment of impulsiveness, she didn't care about anything else and snatched it and started eating it noisily.

Jin Ziyue wasn't annoyed when his plate was snatched from his hand; he got up and went to the shower room.

By the time he finished emptying the bucket of water, the girl had almost finished eating.

"It tastes awful." Haruko Sada pouted, trying to wiggle her tongue to roll the rice grains from her lips into her mouth.

"Your place isn't much either, there's nothing there," the girl mocked. Of course, she didn't believe the other person was a penniless student; she was sure he came from a wealthy family.

A few pieces of clothing were tossed in front of her.

"What, do you want to bathe together?" Now that she was full, she was much bolder.

"There are no women's clothes available, so I'll just have to make do with a shirt and shorts."

"No way, it's so tacky!" Haruko Sada said, swaying her legs with dissatisfaction. Her legs were kicking under her denim shorts.

Jin Ziyue seemed to see something, squatted down, and grabbed her foot.

The girl was startled and instinctively tried to pull away, but he held her firmly and she couldn't move.

Soon, Haruko Sada smiled knowingly and asked, "Want to come?"

Jin Ziyue stared at her legs, which restored a trace of her former pride to her.

He reached out, ready to touch her, but Haruko Sada quickly stopped him, saying seductively, "That won't do, you'll have to pay more."

Jin Ziyue ignored her and carefully examined the wound.

It must have happened in the rented room when he was captured by the White Walkers. The scene was too chaotic, and he was injured by debris during the fight.

It wasn't a White Walker's claw mark.

There's a small chance the White Walkers' scratches could be infectious; after all, they're not zombies, they're more like vampires who rely on the fluid cavities in their dental tubes. If the girl gets infected, then she's completely useless.

He got up and fetched hydrogen peroxide to prevent infection of the wound, then gently applied it to her leg with a cotton swab.

The girl felt the tingling, itchy sensation of the medical cotton swab scraping her leg, and remained silent.

"Why did you arrest me?" Her tone became much more serious.

Jin Ziyue didn't answer, but just tested the water temperature: "Wash it later, and apply the medicine again after you're done."

"Medicine? What medicine?" She pretended to be scared and shrank back.

"Stop learning those filthy things, or get out."

The girl raised her head and said angrily, "You think I care about your place?"

"Girls should avoid using vulgar words, or they'll never get married." Jin Ziyue didn't even glance at her.

"Hmph, what a joke! What I say is none of your business!"

The man ignored her completely.

She sulked to herself.

"Hey, why did you take me in? Aren't you afraid I'll sue you for illegal imprisonment?!"

"It's Jin Ziyue."

The girl muttered, "Someone from Ward 9? Haruko Sada."

Despite her many doubts, she still took the opportunity to give her name.

Jin Ziyue got up, took the leftover plate downstairs, and while he was away, Sada Haruko slunk into the bathroom. Soon after, the sound of the shower running could be heard.

The mother-in-law stood by the window and saw Jin Ziyue come downstairs, then casually washed the dishes.

"I'm done eating, just leave it here."

"Yes. Thank you for your hospitality, Grandma," Jin Ziyue said sincerely.

The mother-in-law looked on with some regret. What a fine young man! She hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.

……

As Haruko Sada was wiping her head with a towel, Jin Ziyue had already placed the first-aid kit on the table and was making the bed.

Her feet were wet, and she left footprints of varying depths on the floor.

You'll be sleeping in the bed tonight.

Jin Ziyue did not turn around.

"I'm not sleeping with you," the girl protested.

“I’ll sleep over there.” Jin Ziyue pointed to the corner, where there was an apricot-yellow tatami mat.

……

Fujiwara Chizuru watched the surveillance footage carefully.

When I arrived at Honhara-cho, a number of busybodies had already gathered in the market. They were all talking at once about the violent incident involving the rental apartment.

As for the White Walkers, under the guise of a forensic examination, all traces of the victimized White Walkers were erased, and the memories of all eyewitnesses related to the White Walkers were also wiped clean.

Fortunately, there were surveillance cameras at the scene, and the policewoman was able to access them and reconstruct the situation.

The perpetrators are two foreign men whose identities are still being determined. In addition to the two White Walkers, the victims include a female tenant.

Meanwhile, further investigation revealed that another girl working in the sex industry had escaped from the rented room, evading detection.

Most importantly, the masked guy showed up.

We investigated all the nearby surveillance cameras, but unfortunately, there was no other footage of this guy; he just appeared out of nowhere.

Fujiwara Chizuru replayed the video again and again, speeding it up and slowing it down, not wanting to miss a single frame.

Clearly, "Mirror" and this group are not on the same side. Furthermore, this guy possesses a stealthy and unpredictable method; of course, he might also be exploiting blind spots in the video surveillance. Anyone with even a modicum of counter-surveillance awareness would notice the surveillance cameras, let alone a seasoned veteran with a renowned reputation on the bounty list.

The appearance of "Mirror" has made it impossible to know where to start. It is as if it has removed its disguise and can transform into any passerby at any time.

Due to the angle and distance, the pixels are insufficient after zooming in, making the details of the man's clothing blurry and obscuring the other clothes under the black trench coat.

Moreover, the man's appearance was extremely brief; almost as soon as the two menacing-looking foreigners launched their attack, he had already slipped away, disappearing into the blind spot of the camera within a few breaths.

He is around 175 cm tall, has a well-proportioned figure, moves nimbly, and maintains high-intensity physical exercise year-round. Basically, the information that can be obtained is quite limited.

Fujiwara Chizuru played back the video, her gaze fixed on the two men.

Openly killing White Walkers and moving freely under the sun—they must be human.

But his skills and physique don't seem like those of a normal human.

Their motive for killing the White Walkers was the bounty, which is not hard to figure out. Were they hunters from other regions?
What is the relationship between it and "mirror"?
Fujiwara vaguely felt that this group was probably still connected to "Mirror." He could try to find a breakthrough from them.

"Can we find these two people?" she asked Tanaka.

"Hmm—we can access all customs entry and exit records to find the entry information for these two people." Tanaka pondered. It would be a lot of work, but it was still possible to find out the information if we put in the time.

“I’m afraid that won’t work,” Fujiwara said. “I already had Akasaka check their flight records before, and after comparing them with the Alliance’s household registration and personnel information, I couldn’t find any entry records for these two people.”

"Huh?" Tanaka was taken aback. "Were they illegal immigrants?"
