The Villain Knight Doesn't Want to Be a Hero

Although they would occasionally choose to look sideways when passing by here, unfortunately, they would just take a look and would not even stop for it.

Lin Qiao expressed her understanding of this. After all, if it were him, he would probably say something similar.

Unless necessary, no one will be interested in a closed store, especially when the location is not very good. In short, just keep a calm mind.

Moreover, he didn't expect to rent out the shop in a short period of time. He didn't post on WeChat Moments or find an agent, which shows his attitude.

Lie down and let it go.

Anyway, with his current assets, plus the fact that he had stolen the lair of the top brass of the Yamashita Group, it didn't matter whether he had this little income or not.

"I suddenly remembered that those guys haven't eaten since the day before yesterday. They shouldn't starve to death, right? I remember reading on the Internet that people can live for seven days just by drinking water..."

"But come to think of it, I didn't give them any water. Well, I hope they are okay."

Although he said this, his body showed no sign of taking any action.

His idea is very simple. Since you don't do anything useful, there is no need for me to treat you as human beings.

Don't even mention humanitarianism, that's for people, not for you. Just be thankful that no one was shot!

This is not justice, it's just fighting violence with violence.

There was only indifference in Lin Qiao's eyes.

At this moment, a pink-haired girl who looked a little careless walked in as he was staring at her twitching eyes.

"Yi Bing II is completely resurrected!"

"As usual, please give me three servings of sweet pineapple noodles... Eh? Ju-Ju is out of stock?"

Pinky excitedly pushed the door of the store open, only to find that something seemed wrong inside. Many shelves were empty and had not been restocked, and even the familiar lady boss was nowhere to be seen.

The pink-haired girl named Yi Bingru turned to Lin Qiao blankly and asked questions like a little child.

"Um, who are you?"

"Stop pretending... ahem, that's so cute. My name is Ishimori Qiao, and I'm the owner of this place."

He changed his words in the middle of the conversation. Although it was not their first meeting in the true sense, he did not appear as "Ishimori Takumi" at that time.

He looked at the girl in front of him curiously: "Why are you here? I remember you were in the hospital, right?"

How come he was released after only a few days? Is CCG’s medical technology so advanced?

"Eh? Eh hey hey! Well, since I'm almost healed, I just..."

Yi Bingru fell into a state of confusion.

Many people knew that she was in the hospital, but most of them were acquaintances, and at the very least they would just say hello to each other when they met.

Having said that, she had no impression of the man in front of her who looked like a lazy guy.

"Mr. Shi, have we met before?"

"If you say I have seen you before, then I have, but it seems you don't remember it." As he said this, Lin Qiao lowered his head and pretended to be lost.

"I've been thinking about you these days, but you don't even have any impression of me. It's so sad, Yi Bing Erdeng."

"No, no, it's just a little bit...how should I put it..."

Ahhhh, why can't I remember anything at all!

The girl forced a smile, her sweat soaking her undershirt. If she took off her CCG windbreaker at this moment, she would be able to see a very beautiful view.

Lin Qiao shook her head: "Okay, it seems that you really don't have any impression of me. Well... I'll give you a hint. Do you remember the 24th of last month?"

"I remember the 24th is..."

"Yes, it was the day you were injured and admitted to the hospital."

"Hmm."

"At the same time, you demolished my house that day."

"..."

I see. It was you who wrote to complain about me!

Chapter 10 and the Ghoul Investigator

If you ask Lin Qiao what she thinks of Yi Bingru, it would probably be "a super soldier who is both bad and loves to give away his skills."

Even though he was not very strong, he still insisted on fighting an S+ rank ghoul, and ended up being beaten to the ground.

If he hadn't seen something was wrong and transformed to save her, the girl would probably have ended up in the crematorium instead of the hospital.

The result is that their home is torn to pieces.

Even after he killed the ghoul, the other party still insisted on rushing up to chop him with a knife... It would be weird if he didn't complain!

Of course, as another party involved in this incident, Yi Bingru also has something to say.

In order to protect others, he fought desperately with S-rank ghouls, and even risked his life to fight a red crab monster (?) that suddenly appeared, trying to minimize the losses (the number of people affected is 1).

But the result was a letter of complaint... What would you think if it were you?

There are bad people among the crowd (banging the table)!

Although CCG did not impose any actual punishment on her, it only gave her a symbolic verbal reminder, such as "pay more attention next time", and there was no follow-up...

But this is already serious, okay!

Yi Bingru doesn't care much about things like money, and he doesn't have any special feelings about honor.

Of course, this doesn't mean that she is a person with little desires. She is also interested in the things that normal girls like, but compared to ordinary people, the things she cares about are a little different.

Born in the White Sun Court, she has always admired Arima Takashi, who is known as the CCG's top fighter, the "undefeated ghoul investigator", but is like everyone else's brother.

Although it may sound childish to say this, she wanted the other person's praise more than material things.

But now... Although Arima Takamasa, the person she has admired since childhood and who is also her current superior, did not say anything, she always felt that she had become a bad boy in his eyes.

Damn it, no matter how I think about it, it’s always that guy’s fault!

"Although I don't mind being stared at by a beautiful young girl, but being stared at like this all the time... doesn't seem to be a problem."

He raised his hand and waved it in front of her eyes.

"And you never blink, what are your eyes doing?"

Then Yi Bingru's look at him became even worse.

"So Mr. Ishimori came to me just to talk about this?" The girl almost uttered the word "stalker" with a cold face before changing her attitude.

"This... do you believe me if I say it's a coincidence? To be honest, I didn't expect to run into you here. Is this fate?"

"There is no such strange fate!"

"Oh, yes, yes, no, no."

The little girl is still young, but she has a bad temper.

He stretched lazily and pointed to the rental information posted on the door.

"But if you really want to talk about it, it should be you who came to my door, right? From both a legal and practical point of view, this store is under my name, so it's not strange for me to stay here."

"What about the original Miss Mitsui?"

"Let's go. If you had come two hours earlier, maybe you could have seen her one last time... Shit! Don't take out the Quinque!"

Looking at Yi Bingru who was in a state of alert, Lin Qiao showed an exaggerated expression on his face.

To be fair, he more or less understood why those investigators were so sensitive to the point of being neurotic. After all, if they had to deal with ghouls, they would have died long ago if they didn't keep their eyes open.

.....But right now it's a bit personal.

He raised his hands in surrender and gave a French salute: "Let me make it clear in advance that I am not a ghoul. How can a ghoul attack an investigator in broad daylight? He just closed the shop and left. How can he be dead in your eyes?"

"Eh? It's closed? Why?"

Yi Bingru looked at Lin Qiao with some distrust.

"Using underhanded means?"

The scene I saw on the TV yesterday instantly emerged in my mind. The villain used something he had on the heroine to force her into submission, but when he was about to succeed, the male protagonist arrived and knocked him out with one punch.

If I put myself into the role... well, I feel it.

"I always feel that your eyes are a little dangerous. Why do you think so?"

"Because... intuition?"

"That's so wrong."

Lin Qiao scratched his head in pretend distress.

"After all, I am a law-abiding citizen. And evicting my tenants for no reason is not good for me, right?"

"Eh... Well, maybe it's because Ishimori-san gave me the impression that he's very good at this kind of thing, so it's hard not to think that way."

The girl raised a finger and touched her cherry-like lower lip, and came to this eye-catching conclusion as if she had suddenly realized something. Then, as if to make it more convincing, she nodded seriously.

"...So you are still holding a grudge against me for complaining about you?"

"No~"

Yi Bingru denied Lin Qiao's words like a little devil.

Compared to the serious identity of an investigator, this lively and playful look is more in line with the girl's nature.

In short, childish.

only......

"If you continue to slander me like this, believe it or not, I will file a complaint against you again."

Yi Bingru's expression froze, and then he looked at Lin Qiao in disbelief with his eyes wide open.

As an adult, you tell tales for such a small matter...are you an elementary school student? !

But on the other hand, there was no trace of shame on Lin Qiao's face. On the contrary, after seeing the conflicted expression on Yi Bingru's face, the corners of her mouth raised even more.

"That's right. As expected, I would rather see your frustrated expression than your happy one."

"mean!"

"So what? The adult world doesn't care about these things. As long as it works well, that's all."

Facing Yi Bingru's unwilling expression, Lin Qiao let out a hearty but evil laugh, not worrying at all that the girl in front of him would pick up the briefcase and hit him because of her impatience.

Human happiness is built on the suffering of others. There is no more correct theory than this.

Not to mention it happened in front of the other person.

Finally, not to mention that the other party was obviously extremely angry but couldn't take action.

"..."

Damn, I’m so angry!

The hand holding Quinque tightened, and like a pufferfish that swells up after being stimulated, he turned his head away with a puffed up face.

Although he had never heard the saying "People know the horror of ghosts, but ghosts know the viciousness of human hearts" in his life, Yi Bingru discovered for the first time a guy who was not a ghoul but was even more hateful than a ghoul.

"Well, are you angry?" Lin Qiao asked, as if noticing the other party's little gesture of dissatisfaction.

".....No."

"Looks like he's really angry..."

"I'm not angry!" Yi Bingru stared and emphasized in a serious tone.

however--

"If I hadn't said that, I wouldn't have said that. Saying one thing and thinking another is not a good habit." Lin Qiao said in a calm tone.

Admittedly, teasing someone is a good way to regulate life, but some things are not good if they are taken too far.

"Okay, stop looking like you've been bullied. I admit that this is my fault. But the last incident shouldn't have caused you any trouble, right?"

He solved the ghoul problem by himself, which should be a great achievement no matter how you look at it. He was injured and hospitalized afterwards. CCG should not be so indifferent.
