The Villain Knight Doesn't Want to Be a Hero

But humans are ultimately creatures that have both sensibility and rationality.

Even if you know that some things are disadvantageous to you, you still can't help thinking about them, and even put them into practice.

Taking pure interests as the criterion for action...Although it cannot be said to be a sin, Lin Qiao always feels that it is a terrible and sad thing.

——What’s even more sad is that he seems to be gradually turning into such a person.

"...Anyway, we don't know the exact location, so it's useless even if we want to do anything. Just pretend we didn't see it."

Trying to make myself feel better by saying this.

As time passed, the rain around him did not get lighter, but got heavier. When the wind blew, it would wet his trouser legs. Lin Qiao looked down at the wet places and sighed.

But just as he was about to take a shortcut home, he saw some chaos on the other side of the road.

The small figure rushed through the crowd, his clothes were soaked, and he even threw the newly bought things in his hands on the ground without looking back.

......

Hina Fueguchi ran desperately, her heart beating violently in her chest. She felt her lungs trembling with every breath, and her calves became swollen and painful.

What forced her to do this was not just to escape, but also worry and fear.

Worried about the safety of my mother and sister, and afraid of losing everything in the future...

Her mother and sister Dong Xiang risked their lives to help her escape. If she couldn't get back to a stable area to find help as soon as possible, all of this might become a cruel reality.

"Mom...sister...someone come quickly! Please save mom and sister!"

My tear ducts had completely collapsed and I couldn't tell whether it was tears or rain that was dripping down my face.

Naturally, her panicked cry for help received no response, and she could only run towards the stable area regardless of anything else.

Fortunately, it was a rainy day, otherwise a little girl like this running on the street would have attracted some attention.

It's okay for ordinary kind people, but if it's the police or ghoul investigators...

In her panic, she bumped into a female passerby, who fell heavily to the ground.

"what--!"

"It hurts so much... Really, please be careful when you walk!" The woman complained a few words in dissatisfaction and left.

Fueguchi Hinami got up from the ground and was about to continue running towards the stable area, but suddenly her legs went weak and she fell to the ground again.

At the same time, a burning pain came from the knees and ankles.

Abrasions and sprains are not serious injuries for ghouls - but they still take time to heal.

It was at this moment that she realized that by the time she returned, it might be too late.

I closed my eyes in despair and let my tears fall into the puddles on the ground. Even though I tried hard to suppress my cries, it was of no use.

“Woooa ...

On this crowded street, she and other people seemed to be on the two sides of a coin. No one would help her, and no one could help her. It was as if the whole world had abandoned her.

She endured the pain and tried hard to stand up. Even though she knew this would happen, she could only try her best. She didn't want to give up... and she simply couldn't give up!

Just when she was about to collapse in despair, a shadow appeared above her head and the cold rain dripping on her body suddenly stopped. Then, before the girl could come to her senses, a hand pulled her up from the ground.

"Ishimori...brother?"

Hinami Fueguchi raised her head. Although she no longer had her usual cheerful look and instead looked more serious than ever before, she still recognized the familiar face.

But before she could come to her senses, Lin Qiao picked her up with one hand.

Chapter 27 Didn’t I travel through time in vain?

"——Wait, wait, Ishimori-san, put me down! I really have something urgent to do, and I have to go back to the Anting District now......!"

The girl who was trapped under Lin Qiao's armpits struggled hard, trying to break free from Lin Qiao's control.

but--

"Is there anything more urgent than saving your mother?"

"Woo..."

But the next second, the words that had not yet been spoken were instantly stuck in her throat. She hesitated for a while and subconsciously wanted to refute, but Lin Qiao did not give her the opportunity.

"It takes about ten minutes to get to the Anting District from here, and at least twenty minutes to go back and forth. No one can guarantee what will happen during this time."

"But even so..."

"And even if you go back it will be useless."

Lin Qiao cruelly poured cold water on her, then deliberately avoided the busy main road and walked into an alley.

I felt that the umbrella was a bit cumbersome, so in order not to affect my speed, I threw it aside.

"I just came out of the Anping District. Because of the sudden attack, it was a mess over there."

"Miss Iruma and Mr. Furuma are probably chasing the criminals. The store manager is not here for the time being. The only one still in the store is Kaneki Ken."

"But unfortunately, the guy's stomach was opened by the Ama...prisoner. Let alone saving him, just standing up was painful enough."

And with his fighting ability, even if he was really unharmed, what could he do when he went to the scene?

Help the investigators complete this month's KPI?

The third-class merit that came to his doorstep is for him.

He briefly and quickly talked about the current situation in the An Ding area, but in order to save time, he did not elaborate on the matter related to Amazon.

".....It's a lie...If that's the case...."

What should mom and sister do then?

Hinami Fueguchi opened her eyes as wide as she could as if struck by lightning. The sudden fear and despair seemed to freeze her entire body.

Maybe it was because of their good relationship in the past, or because of the successive blows that confused her brain, she did not doubt the truthfulness of Lin Qiao's words, but chose to believe them.

Realizing that no matter what she did, it would be of no use, Fueguchi Hinami couldn't help but shed tears from her eyes, and even stopped struggling.

Lin Qiao scratched his head with a headache.

However, this situation is not incomprehensible. Even adults will panic and get confused when encountering such a thing, let alone a child who is not very worldly-wise.

"Let's go. Those two investigators are not easy to deal with. It will be too late if we are late."

When the word "investigator" was mentioned, Lin Qiao clearly felt the body of Fueguchi Hinami, who was tucked under her armpit, suddenly tremble.

“——Investigator what… I, I don’t know…”

Her inner fear made her subconsciously deny it, and at the same time she struggled even more violently, trying to escape from Lin Qiao.

But the arms around her waist were like steel bars, and no matter how hard she tried, she was still held firmly there.

"This is the expected reaction...but please be quiet."

He tapped Fueguchi Hinami's head gently to calm the restless girl down. She looked up at Lin Qiao's profile, which had no expression change at all and looked pitiful.

"Calm down?"

"Hmm..." Fueguchi Hinami bit her lower lip tightly and spoke incoherently.

"Big brother, do you already know?"

"Ghoul, I knew that from the beginning. Both you and the clerk in the stable area knew it the first time they saw it."

He nodded calmly. Now that he had made his choice, there was no point in continuing to hide it.

The identity...has been discovered...

When she realized this, Hina Fueguchi's mind went almost blank, and her petite body almost curled up.

"Brother Ishimori...are you taking me to the police station?"

"No, you should pay attention to the key points when you listen to others next time, and the police station is not in this direction... But never mind, let's talk about this later. Anyway, didn't I tell you to go save your mother?"

"...Brother is going to...save mom?"

"From the results point of view - yes."

Although some of them are for their own purposes, such as testing the opponent's reaction and trying to win over the stable zone.

".....is that so...."

Fueguchi Hinami lowered her head, even her voice was trembling. She was at a loss for what to do when faced with the helping hand extended by Lin Qiao.

Because I was afraid it was a lie, I didn't dare to accept it, and because I had hope, I didn't dare to refuse it.

"But, Ishimori-san is a human, why would he do this? Hinami knows that ghouls...ghouls are monsters in the eyes of humans...hmm?"

Before she could finish her words, her lips were blocked by a finger. Lin Qiao slowly put her on the ground and made a "hush, be quiet" gesture with the same finger.

"Well, the only person standing in front of me is a cute little girl who is crying. I don't see anyone else."

He gently wiped away the tears from the corners of the little girl's eyes with his fingers. From the moment he chose to kill, the words "justice" and "hero" no longer had anything to do with him.

Moreover, given his nature, he is not suitable to be a selfless hero.

The reason why we feel longing for something is simply because we cannot become such a noble person. It is like the flowers on the cliff, which people find beautiful because they are beyond our reach.

It is regrettable that the childhood dream is shattered, but since there is no chance to become a hero, it is always okay to live the way you want, right?

If we can't even do this, it would be too sad.

"As for the reason, it's probably because I was very unhappy and figured out something..."

Whether it was suddenly discovering that he might be the subject of a plot, or some other mess, it made him feel very unhappy.

Before traveling through time, I have to take this and that into consideration, and after traveling through time, I still have to be restricted and controlled by others... Then wouldn't my travel through time be in vain?

How could he bear this injustice?

Anyway, everyone has to do it sooner or later. With the smoke gun as a backup, if there is any emergency, such as being beaten with mouth and eyes open, you can retreat calmly in the next second.

Then, there is no need to worry.

"So you can trust me? Can you tell me where your mother is now?"

".....Yeah." Fueguchi Hinami nodded gently, wiped her tears with her sleeves, and pointed forward with determination.

"Just turn left at the next intersection, in the alley next to the grocery store!"

"I see. It seems that it is not too far away. Well, can you show me the way? Remember not to go too far away next time."

Quickly made preliminary arrangements for the next action.

Before Fueguchi Hinami, who was standing in place, could react, Lin Qiao once again hugged her with one hand, held her under his armpit, and continued running in the direction she said.

Although leaving Fueguchi Hinami where she is is also an option, it is better to bring her along as a guide rather than searching for her slowly based on vague oral instructions.

At this time, every second of delay may result in a tragedy of life and death.

He carried Fueguchi Hinami, who he had picked up from the ground, on his back. Judging from the expression on her face, she obviously didn't like the bumpy ride, but now was not the time to worry about such trivial matters.

Lin Qiao increased his speed and sped through the increasingly heavy rain.

After a while, they arrived near the place that Hinami Fueguchi mentioned.

Although there was still some distance between them, the tragic scene caused by being besieged by the investigators was still very clearly visible, especially the back of Fueguchi Ryoko as she fell to the ground as the gunshots rang out.

"Mom.....Ugh!"

Lin Qiao covered Hinami's mouth when she tried to make a sound and took her to hide behind a wall.

He took out the phone from his pocket, slightly adjusted the angle, and observed the situation there through the reflection on the screen.

There were only four ghoul investigators on the field, which was consistent with his memory.

There is an office building directly opposite the alley. Standing at a slightly higher place, you can have a clear view of the situation here. If you also have a good sniper rifle...

After considering various factors, Lin Qiao did not choose to act rashly.

"But this is a rare opportunity. It's a good time to try out the power of the new bottle... Well, I'll use this one."

The smoke sword appeared in his hand.

But the next second, it was split in the middle by Lin Qiao, and the side with the blade was inserted into the muzzle of the smoke gun, while the original handle was connected to the tail.

"Rifle Mod!"
