The Villain Knight Doesn't Want to Be a Hero

In short, he is now stuck with a system that is suspected to have been smuggled from some dark infinite text. If possible, he hopes to check the passport of this thing.

Putting this aside, everything else is similar to the novel, for example, he is currently in a world called "Tokyo Ghoul".

Ishimori Qiao, this is the name the system assigned to him in this world.

His parents unfortunately died in a ghoul attack two years ago. Since then, he has become withdrawn and doesn't interact much with the people around him, so there is no need to worry about being exposed if he meets acquaintances, because he has no acquaintances at all.

Although I wanted to complain about this template-like start of the protagonist, what era of Japanese comics is this? But after thinking about it carefully, this identity arrangement does facilitate his actions, so I didn't say much.

Apart from that, there are a bunch of miscellaneous settings, but they are not very important, just like the beheading theme song every time you watch anime, you can watch it or not.

It is worth mentioning that the cheap parents arranged by the system left him a generous inheritance after their death.

In addition to a considerable amount of cash deposits, it also included ownership of a property and two stores, as well as shares in several companies.

Although he cannot be compared with some of the chaebol sons, he can barely be counted among the ranks of the rich second generation.

——But there is a problem right now.

"Why did you suddenly stop renting it?"

Lin Qiao looked at the woman in front of her without understanding. She looked very young, but her face was haggard, with faint dark circles around her eyes.

It was she who had sent a message to Lin Qiao before, but she didn't mention the rent suspension. She just said that she wanted to talk about some things in person, but no one expected this to happen.

Although it is people's freedom to rent or not, it would be very uncomfortable to suddenly live in a place like this!

He was searching for information about the other person in his mind. The woman's name was Mitsui Emi. She was one of the tenants of the two shops under his name. She had opened a cake shop which had been around for almost three or four years. The cakes were loved by adults and children for their sweet but not greasy taste and affordable prices, and were considered famous in the area.

That's why it's a bit strange.

"Is there a problem with the business? If that's the case, I can understand it. It doesn't matter if the rent is paid a little late." Lin Qiao asked tentatively.

“Thank you very much for your kindness, but...it’s not about the rent...”

Mitsui Emi became more haggard, with a sadness shrouding her whole body.

"I'm sorry, but ever since Kota left, I really don't have the urge to continue."

"I knew that Guangtai had passed away, but I always felt that he was still by my side. I even dreamed about him at night."

"But despite this, when I wanted to find him..."

Got nothing.

After all, the person is dead.

When she spoke the latter part, she could no longer control her emotions, and tears fell like a broken heart. Judging from her state, it was not difficult to guess that she had been crying recently.

Kota, whose full name is Mitsui Kota, it is not difficult to tell from the name that the two are husband and wife.

After marriage, Mitsui Emi did not choose to become a full-time housewife, but opened a bakery with her husband. Mitsui Kota was responsible for external affairs, and she acted as a baker.

Life in a big city is stressful, but overall the young couple lives a pretty good life. Especially for Mitsui Emi, who has wanted to be a baker since she was a child, it can be said that she has achieved success in both love and career.

But beauty is always fleeting.

Not long ago was their wedding anniversary, and as a husband, Mitsui Kota wanted to give his wife a surprise.

——Then he was gone, never to return.

After police investigation, the place where Mr. Mitsui was last seen was found, at an intersection 300 meters away from the jewelry store. At that time, Mitsui Mitsui Mitsui happened to pass by there with a wrapped gift box in his hand and a happy smile on his face.

But since then, the clues have been completely cut off.

Neither in the subsequent surveillance video nor in the eyewitness testimony, Mitsui Kota's figure ever appeared again. It was as if a living person had suddenly evaporated and his whereabouts were unknown.

No body was found, and there was no news of anyone being alive. It is unknown whether he is alive or dead.

Finally, the police classified the incident as a missing person and said they would intensify the search...and then handed it over to the CCG.

Irresponsible?

On the contrary, this is the most correct choice.

They have seen this kind of thing too many times. Anyone with a little bit of common sense knows that how can a living person just walking on the street disappear out of thin air?

You can tell what happened just by thinking with your feet.

Especially recently, things have not been peaceful, and various cannibalism incidents have occurred frequently. The reason why it was not directly determined as death is simply because the evidence is incomplete, and I just wanted to leave a thought for the family.

Mitsui Emi burst into tears, and the light makeup on her face was ruined. The knuckles holding the ring on her ring finger turned slightly white: "I hate those man-eating monsters!"

After their lover left, the business they founded became like a demon, and the beautiful dream of the past became a nightmare today.

Lin Qiao silently handed the other party a tissue: "...Please accept my condolences."

This was all he could say now. It was not that he could not understand the other party's sadness. A second before he was killed by the female racing god, his heart was also filled with fear and despair, as well as a feeling of powerlessness against the cruel reality.

However, there is a certain lack of comparability between the two. After all, everything he experienced was too short.

Basically, he entered the resurrection match the instant he opened it, leaving him no time to build up his emotions. When he finally had some time later, it seemed unnecessary... What's the point of building up emotions when he'd already won?

In comparison, Mitsui Kota was not so lucky.

"Sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned such things..." She wanted to say something but was stopped by Lin Qiao.

"No matter what, it's the closest person to you who has suffered an accident. It's normal to feel sad about it. There's no need to apologize for it."

Looking at Lin Qiao's clear eyes, Mitsui Huimei suddenly remembered that the other party's parents were also killed because of this, and a trace of shame flashed through her heart.

Even though I reminded you of painful memories, you still came to comfort me...

Mr. Ishimori, you are very gentle now.

"But I'm sorry, Mr. Ishimori, I can't be as strong as you."

"what?"

Lin Qiao was stunned for a moment. Why did it bring this up with me?

"Well... uh, actually being strong and all that, it's okay..."

There was some uncertainty in his words. Could it be that the topic had deviated to some strange angle without his knowledge?

In order to avoid ridiculous incidents such as cross-server chat, he decided to change the subject.

"Anyway, I understand what happened. After this happened, I understand your choice. But have you thought about what to do next?"

"I......"

She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but nothing came out. Mitsui Emi's eyes were wandering and she pursed her lower lip tightly.

"...I want to leave Tokyo first and then make plans."

"That's it..."

In other words, I haven't thought about this question.

Now, Mitsui Emi just wants to escape from all this as soon as possible, the farther the better. As for the future... although she has thought about it, the pain brought by reality is far greater than the confusion about the future, so she subconsciously avoids this issue.

".....I'm sorry to have caused you trouble." Mitsui Emi tried hard to stop her tears, her tone full of apology.

"The dead are gone, the living are here, and life must go on."

He tried to comfort the other person, but it seemed to have little effect.

He did not choose to keep Mitsui Emi. To him, it would be best if she chose to stay, but it didn't matter if she left. Besides, it might not be a good thing for her to stay in this place that was full of sadness for her.

After bidding farewell to the young widow, Lin Qiao walked out of the store.

As the sky gradually darkened, the weather became cooler, and the breeze that blew past him took away a lot of the sweet cake smell from his body.

Finally, I looked back at the bakery behind me. The cute font and the sign that said "Dessert Selection" gave me a strong sense of girlishness.

It’s a pity that the so-called sweetness has long since turned into a heart-wrenching scar.

"I never thought that there would be a day when I would be able to comfort others." Lin Qiao felt a little unsure of what to say...not knowing whether to laugh or cry?

"Evading won't solve the problem. We still have to face it in the end... I'm clearly the least qualified person to say this."

Escape is shameful but useful. This sounds reasonable, but the premise is that you can escape.

He stretched out his hand, and a strange bottle that could just be completely held in his palm appeared in his hand.

The bright red bottle contains an unknown ingredient, and gently shaking the bottle will make a strange sound. There is a spider logo carved in white paint on the bottle, and at the bottom is a sculpture of a spider about to open its mouth to catch food.

This world is not short of tragedies of all kinds, nor is it short of people called protagonists.

Although we know that some things will have a happy ending even if we leave them alone, but...

"When all this is happening right in front of us, who can remain calm?"

He had clearly tasted the bitter fruit of meddling in other people's affairs not long ago, but why couldn't he control himself?

The hand holding the Spider Evolution Bottle squeezed hard, and just like the magic show on TV, the bright red bottle disappeared in the same way.

Chapter 4: Going out at midnight is definitely not a good thing

It has to be said that Lin Qiao's attitude has become very negative since she traveled to the world of Tokyo Ghoul.

In the past two months, he hardly even left the house unless it was necessary.

Because of everything that happened in the resurrection match, he subconsciously didn't want to have any contact with other people, and even ignored the tasks issued by the system.

Anyway, there is no time limit. Apart from not being able to leave Tokyo, the system has basically no restrictions on him.

He has no studies, no life burdens, and no one urges him to find a partner. He is free to do whatever he wants on weekdays. Even if he stays up late playing games and eating snacks, he doesn't have to worry about dark circles under his eyes or gaining weight. Almost everything about him is perfect.

If that’s the case, then why bother fighting for your life?

Just put it on display in a big way.

He lives a nerd-like life every day with the identity and funds arranged by the system. What does what happens in the outside world have to do with him?

He has no intention of becoming a city vigilante. The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, and so on have nothing to do with him...

Despite this indifferent attitude of not caring about anything that has nothing to do with him, whenever something happens in front of him, he will regret it at the last minute and force himself to get involved.

"I never realized before, am I so nosy... or is it just a whim?"

They should all be there.

I sighed in my heart, just like people would feel sad when they see wild cats and dogs dying in front of them, but would only utter a faint "oh" when someone they didn't know died thousands of miles away.

Lin Qiao doesn't mind doing things within his ability. If someone asks him for help, he will lend a helping hand. But all this is based on the premise that he can do it and it will not harm him personally. Don't expect anything else.

For example, what he can do now is very limited.

Press E to search the scene to automatically deduce information, and then use the idiotic method of elimination based on the existing clues - if this were a game, then the investigation process would probably be like this.

However, in reality, this crappy game doesn't have such a convenient function, otherwise there wouldn't be so many unsolved cases in the world.

Don’t even mention Conan or anything like that. It’s really crazy to bring anime into reality.

And to take a step back, although the plot in Conan would make Edgar Allan Poe so angry that he would jump out of his coffin and then die again, the murderer is at least a human being, but here even the species has changed, so the difficulty is doubled.

As for finding hidden clues...

Not to mention that almost two weeks have passed, and there was a heavy rain in the meantime. Any clues can be washed away overnight. Even if you find it, will it be useful?

Even experienced police officers couldn't find Mitsui Kota's whereabouts, so why was he, a person who had never learned the profession of "detective" since birth, interfering in this?

An amateur guiding an expert, in the words of a former captain named Fan, is probably a loss of face.

"Although my face is worthless, I just can't do it."

In the middle of the night, Lin Qiao tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.

——He suffered from insomnia again.

On the one hand, I slept too much in the park during the day and couldn’t sleep at night.

On the other hand, his need for sleep has now decreased a lot. Two hours of sleep a day is enough. Even if he doesn't sleep for three or four days in a row, he won't feel any obvious discomfort.

To be honest, he missed the days when he could sleep until noon.

"But now, it's actually pretty good... If it was before, I would be playing games right now, right?"
