My Strange Tale Love Strategy Simulator

Drip, drip.

The sound of an ambulance rang in my ears. I lay in a pool of blood, looking at the black sky illuminated by streetlights and car headlights. There were no stars or moon in the sky; tomorrow would surely bring a heavy rain.

So relaxing.

For the first time, I felt so relaxed. Feathers fell off my arms one by one, revealing my arms covered in holes. Blood flowed from my arms, staining my lake red.

I was too weak to swing my arms and sank into the lake of blood.

The doctor's verdict came quickly: I was alive, but I was dead.

I long for the moment when the throat that had been gripping mine will loosen, and I will stop breathing.

I lay in a hospital bed, and the doctor diagnosed that my dance skills would never be what they used to be.

The father's eyes turned cold, and the mother's hair turned a few strands white.

I gaze out the window at the white clouds and blue sky, longing to fly like a bird, but now I have neither wings nor feathers.

……

Zhang Ying emerged from the CG once again, tears streaming down his face. He wiped them away, closed his eyes, and gently shook his head.

"She wasn't born on the lake, but she could only survive on it. Without her feathers, she would only sink to the surface. To her parents, although she was still alive, it was perhaps no different from being dead."

"Born into such a family, if you don't learn to resist and be self-reliant, you'll only end up drowning."

After watching the two special CGs, Zhang Ying was deeply moved.

Li Ziqing's past was indeed a tragedy, but the occurrence of tragedy is never accidental.

Parental expectations are the source of tragedy, while misused talent is the nourishment for tragedy.

In the subsequent investigation, focusing the investigation on Li Ziqing's parents might be a good option.

Professional tasks should be handled by professionals.

From Li Ziqing's perspective, she can see her parents' appearances, but she knows nothing about their identities.

Searching online is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Zhang Ying opened the green bubble on his phone and found his cousin.

"Are you there, cousin? I need to talk to you urgently."

A while after I sent the message, my cousin sent me a message.

AAA, the professional dog catcher: "What's up now, little bro? I'm working overtime on training right now, I have a ton of stuff to do, so don't come to me with any trouble."

"It's not a big deal. Didn't you work as a private investigator and paparazzi for a while before your university internship? Do you know anyone in the industry who can help me investigate these two people?"

AAA, the professional dog catcher: "Little bro, your idea is dangerous! I'm warning you, don't you dare do anything illegal or unethical. If I don't get my job, I'm going to stay at your place and never leave!"

Zhang Ying looked at the message his cousin sent and gave a helpless laugh.

Although my cousin was a real troublemaker in high school, his grades were excellent. He was disciplined by the school several times, but the school eventually expelled him each time. Later, he was admitted to a nationally renowned police academy and is currently interning at the Public Security Bureau in Xiao'an City next door.

"I wouldn't dare do anything illegal or disorderly, don't worry, it won't affect you."

AAA, the professional dog catcher: "What exactly do you want? Tell me, or I won't help you."

Seeing that he couldn't get away with it, Zhang Ying had no choice but to reveal his own desire to find out about Li Ziqing's parents.

After learning what Zhang Ying was going to do, his cousin felt a little strange: "Why are you so interested in the background of a deceased person? Did you actually see something at school?"

"No, no, I'm just interested, cousin. If you can help me this once, I'll definitely introduce you to someone in the future."

AAA, the master of setting up dog traps: "Go to hell! Your cousin is a real ladies' man. Back in school, countless beauties were swarming around me. Do I need you to introduce me to girls?"

"However, since you've asked me for help, I'll tell you something."

There's hope! Zhang Ying immediately sent a message: "Thanks for your great support, cousin. Next time you come to my house for New Year's greetings, I promise I won't ask you for a red envelope!"

"How old are you, kid? You still want a red envelope?!" My cousin sent a sweating soybean emoji, followed by:

"Don't you dare spread this around, or I'll beat you up! Our bureau recently received a report of a multi-company smuggling case spanning multiple cities."

"Didn't you mention Li Ziqing to me? When I was going through the files with my master, I happened to see Li Ziqing's father's name. He was an executive at one of the suspected companies. I can't reveal too much due to confidentiality reasons."

"All I can tell you is that there's a big commercial promotion at the Okura City Chimeda Plaza next Sunday. You might want to go and listen to it; you might find something useful."

Indeed, professional tasks should be handled by professionals.

After sending a green bubble red envelope emoji to his cousin, Zhang Ying turned off his phone amidst his cousin's accusations and angry outbursts.

"There's a large-scale commercial promotion at Qianda Plaza next Sunday. Li Ziqing's father's identity is quite extraordinary." Zhang Ying pursed his lips, recalling the father from Li Ziqing's perspective in the CG.

"It's not surprising that someone like him could be involved in a smuggling case spanning multiple cities. But how can I, in my current capacity, approach Li Ziqing's father?"

Since he couldn't figure it out anyway, Zhang Ying simply put the matter aside and turned his attention to the eerie eye reward from the simulator.

The Ghost Eye is probably the first ability with obvious special functions that the simulator actually provides.

The ability to see ghosts and monsters simply by activating the Ghost Eye is enough to rival the Yin-Yang Eyes in novels and movies.

However, putting aside the fact that activating the Ghost Eye consumes sanity, the fact that the monsters can detect that he can see them is enough for him to classify this skill as dangerous.

Zhang Ying opened the desk drawer next to him and took out two sheets of paper. On them were various obscure spells and hand gestures, as well as various precautions, written with a water-based pen.

One is the Heart-Cleansing Mantra, and the other is the Body-Purifying Mantra.

He has already learned the Heart-Cleansing Mantra, but he has only learned half of the Body-Purifying Mantra.

The Mind-Cleansing Mantra has been proven useful in practice, but only to a limited extent. Its primary function is to calm the mind; it offers almost no real benefit in terms of improving combat strength.

Although he hadn't used the purification spell yet, according to Old Wang's description, the purification spell could remove the traces left by unclean things on the body. As long as you stay away from unclean things, they won't be able to find you.

It did not significantly improve combat strength.

With his current weak fighting ability, if he deliberately provokes ghosts and monsters, the only outcome will be his death.

If you want to become stronger, you can only try to solve ghost stories, but how easy is it to find a ghost story that you can solve?

Besides, Li Ziqing alone is enough for him to handle. If he were to simultaneously pursue another supernatural tale, whether he could manage it would be another matter. If he were discovered to be two-timing, the two monsters would probably tear him in half!

Ultimately, we still need to figure out the actual function of this strange eye. As it is the only tangible ability he currently possesses, there is too little information to be obtained through descriptions and introductions.

Only by clarifying the boundaries of the Ghost Eye can it be removed from the ranks of the dangerous and become a true asset.
