The Villain Knight Doesn't Want to Be a Hero

She had heard that some humans would use software and viruses to control computer cameras and then take the opportunity to do obscene things.

"Let me make it clear first. What I like is the type of big sister who is plump and full of knowledge. If I have to find a reference, it is probably Ryoko-chan... Don't look at me like that. You have to ask yourself. I’m just looking for a reference!”

Lin Qiao lay weakly on the table. If possible, he really didn't want to dwell on this issue.

After all, playing dumb all the time is not suitable for him.

"So you should understand, although I don't hate it, you and Hinami are really not the type that I'm interested in... What's your answer?"

"It's a bit irritating...but forget it, I'll settle the issue with you later."

He waved his hand rather unhappily, and then pointed at the computers and game consoles piled in the corner of the room.

"That pile of stuff should be worth a lot of money, right? Does your family have any objection to you doing this?"

To be honest, the salary that Anding District paid her was not low, but even so, even if it was a second-hand item at half price, it would be enough to make her feel painful for a long time.

But this guy actually gave it away as soon as he said he would. It seems suspicious no matter how I think about it.

"It's okay, it's just a small amount of money...Have you ever heard of money power?"

For a moment, Kirishima Touka felt that her self-esteem was seriously hurt.

"You guy... don't think that you can do whatever you want if you have money!"

There is no way that true feelings can be defeated by a few ugly coins of a cricket!

"But it is undeniable that if you have money, you can survive better, right?"

Lin Qiao shook her head and pointed to the review materials that Dong Xiang left on the desk, with a failed test paper underneath.

Just step on the answer sheet twice and you will get a higher score than that.

"If nothing else, Touka, you want to go to college, right?"

"So what? It has nothing to do with you, right?"

"No, I'm just reminding you that the tuition for one year of college alone is hundreds of thousands, and this is just the tuition. The essential things like daily life and socializing also add up to a considerable amount of money."

"Well....."

It was obviously the beginning of autumn, but Dong Xiang felt like a bucket of ice water was poured on her head, making her feel a little chilly.

Chapter 20 The survival rules of the ghoul

"So, so what, as long as you work hard..."

"By the way, this is only for ordinary universities. If your goal is a prestigious university, the difficulty may be even higher."

"If you want to get good grades, it's not enough to just rely on what the teacher teaches you in class. Otherwise, cram schools would have disappeared long ago."

As he said that, he shook his head with some regret.

This is the flaw of happy education, and it is also a honey trap set by the elite upper class for the people at the bottom.

On the surface, they are happy, but the result is that poor students are getting worse and worse, and children born from the elite will spend money to enter prestigious schools with the help of various cram schools, and monopolize various top careers after graduation.

Even if someone realizes this, it is useless to work hard. After all, the tuition fees alone are not affordable for ordinary families. Even if a genius counterattack really occurs... that doesn't matter. , he will join this system.

The children of the lower class will always be at the lower class, and the children of the elite will always be the elite - class solidification is, in short, a cliché problem.

"If you have to work, you will definitely not have time to go to extracurricular cram schools, and your review time will naturally be much shorter than others... Although I don't want to discourage you, under these conditions, just wanting to pass the exam is as difficult as climbing to the sky."

Money is not everything...but if there is something that cannot be accomplished even by throwing money at it, then the effect of "hard work" will probably not be too optimistic.

Lin Qiao's words were like a sharp knife, piercing Kirishima Touka's chest.

It's like a student who worked hard to answer questions in the examination room, only to find that he missed his name after returning home.

Oh, wash the kelp~Oh, wash the kelp~

'That seems a bit too much...'

But no matter what, it is a good thing to recognize the reality early.

Ignoring the blow to Dong Xiang, Lin Qiao stood up, stretched, and then opened the door.

"Whoa!"

Kaneki Ken, who had almost half of his body pressed against the door, crashed in instantly and fell to the ground with an embarrassed look on his face.

In addition to him, Furuma Yuanji and Irimi Xuan were also standing outside, but compared to Kaneki Ken, their expressions were much calmer, as if they said "I just happened to pass by".

So it is said that old ginger is still spicy.

"Well, you can ask Kaneki-san about the specific matters. He is a student of Kamii University, so he should know more about these things than me...right, Kaneki-san."

Lin Qiao was not annoyed about being overheard. She just smiled and patted Kaneki Ken on the shoulder who was apologizing, then turned to look at Irimixuan aside.

"What a coincidence, Iruma-sama. I just want a cup of coffee to quench my thirst. Same as before, signature blended coffee with lots of sugar. I'll leave it to you."

"OK, just a second."

After saying that, Ru Jianxuan smiled gently at Lin Qiao and left.

but.....

Just as he was stepping on the bottom of the stairs, the door of another house opened.

The person who came out was Ryoko Fueguchi with an apologetic look on her face... and Hinami, who was standing behind her with slightly red eyes, tightly clutching her mother's clothes.

"Mr. Ishimori, if you can, please wait a moment."

"Uh, Miss Ryoko, what can I do?"

"I'm sorry, I misunderstood you before. Please forgive me." Her eyes seemed to be a little vague, as if she found the relationship difficult to talk about.

"Although I am very grateful for your kindness, the things you gave to Hinami are too valuable. I'm sorry, I can't..."

"It's okay, Miss Ryoko, those things are not as important as you think." Lin Qiao stopped Ryoko Diekou from returning the things.

"But this is too much..."

"It doesn't matter. Money is not that important to me anyway, and I don't do this for money."

"Then why?"

This is also something that makes everyone very confused. This can no longer be said to be philanthropy. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is philanthropy that leads to bankruptcy.

"Well, if I have to say it, I probably saw myself in Hinami."

Lin Qiao said frankly, turning her head to the side in embarrassment.

"You are referring to?"

"Well, it's a bit embarrassing to say this, but I am indeed a rather introverted type. My parents have been gone for a long time, and I don't have many friends. So when I saw Hinami-chan alone in the park, I couldn't help but want to help her."

"Is it really like this..." Fueguchi Ryoko opened her mouth and said softly.

"So just think of it as Hinami accompanying me, a lonely person, and please accept it with a clear conscience."

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a bitter smile.

It seemed that because they were talking about some sad topics, even though they felt that Lin Qiao might be hiding something, the others present remained silent.

.....

After staying in Anding District for a while, Lin Qiao left, and the employees in the coffee shop closed the shop after dark.

"Is it an illusion? I always feel that Touka is so depressed today." While cleaning, Kaneki Ken turned around and glanced at Kirishima Touka who was washing dishes but seemed a little absent-minded.

"Kaneki."

"Yes!"

When his name was called, he subconsciously tensed his body, and at the same time hoped in his heart that Dongxiang didn't hear what he said just now.

"Is it difficult to get into university?"

"Eh? Eh, if it's about college..." The expected scolding did not come. After thinking for a while, he gave a statement that he thought was relatively impressive.

"It's a little difficult, but as long as you study hard, it will be fine."

"What about famous schools, such as Kamii University."

"Ah, this is a bit..."

It's difficult, and not just ordinary difficult. Luck and strength are both essential. Even if he could go back in time and take the test again, he wouldn't have the confidence.

"I see, so that guy wasn't lying."

From the forced expression on Kaneki Ken's face, she roughly knew what the other party wanted to say.

I thought that if I worked so hard to learn and catch up with others, even if the result was not satisfactory, at least I would not lose too badly. But the result was that I could not even touch the most basic steps...

Why do I suddenly feel that humans’ lives are more tiring than those of ghouls?

He sighed helplessly. Although he was indeed somewhat hit by Lin Qiao at the moment, he was not to the point of being devastated. After thinking about it a little, he let it go.

At least Kirishima Touka never regretted going to school, otherwise he would not have the chance to meet Yoriko.

Of course, it is impossible to say that there is no resentment.

"But speaking of which, Mr. Ishimori is a human, but he is very familiar with everyone in the store."

"Does this seem unusual to you?"

Facing Kirishima Touka's gaze, Kaneki Ken nervously shook his head and explained.

"It's not abnormal, it's just that it's different from what I thought."

"Really? Then get used to it as soon as possible. For ghouls, good interpersonal relationships are also essential if they want to integrate into this society. This will also help to hide our identities... But that guy is also responsible for this."

"It seems like Touka really hates Mr. Ishimori."

"Actually, I don't completely hate him, but before I answer, let me first ask you what you think of that guy."

"Well, my opinion... Mr. Ishimori's words are a bit strange and he always makes fun of me, but he has a very gentle personality. He didn't get angry last time when I accidentally spilled coffee on him, and he was also very nice to Hinami, so it should be..."

"Good guy, right?"

Dong Xiang was a little impatient with the long-winded description, so she interrupted him directly and mentioned the topic.

Kaneki Ken nodded.

"When you approached him, you probably didn't have an appetite for him, did you?"

"Eh? If that's the case, it seems like there really isn't any. It should be because of the coffee, right?"

"It has nothing to do with that. Mr. Furuma speculated that the guy suffers from a disease called RC cell deficiency. To put it simply, it will make the ghouls have no appetite for him."

Is there such a good thing?

Hearing this, Kaneki Ken was stunned for a moment.

“Feeling lucky, huh?”

"Yeah." Thinking of his current situation, he couldn't help but feel a little heavy.

Even he would unconsciously fantasize that if he also suffered from this disease, then would Miss Kamishiro not target him and would he have a different ending?

But it's too late to say anything now.

"But unfortunately, his parents weren't so lucky."

"Eh?"

"When he first came to the store, he made quite a noise, so the manager asked someone to investigate."

These are all necessary. Although the possibility that Lin Qiao is the investigator is very low, it is not zero after all.

"Ishimori Takumi, 22 years old, was a student at Kyoto University. His parents were successful businessmen who died in a ghoul attack two years ago. It was from that time that he chose to drop out of school and locked himself in his house. He hardly contacted anyone during that time."

"If it weren't for the battle between the ghouls and the investigators near his home last month, which resulted in the destruction of his residence, that guy probably wouldn't have left the house until now."
