The Villain Knight Doesn't Want to Be a Hero

how to say.

It is indeed not that difficult. After all, Yueshan Xi has come to Anding District more than once or twice. Everyone knows the information about him, so there is no need to investigate. They can tell a lot of things just by opening their mouths.

The same goes for the ghoul restaurant under his control.

Even if no one has been there in person due to ideological differences, it is still okay to give a rough location.

However, the problem is that this matter itself is quite difficult for them.

Although Lin Qiao didn't say it directly, nor did he show any emotions such as murderous intent or hatred, they could see that this guy was determined to kill Yue Shan Xi.

They didn't think much about the reason.

Given what Yueshan Xi had done, it was not surprising that he had enemies looking for him.

Kirishima Touka was a little moved: "Manager..."

But Fangcun Gongshan raised his hand to stop her from continuing speaking.

Ignoring other factors, from a trading perspective, this is a sure win.

but.....

"It is the principle of the stable area that ghouls help each other... Although I don't know what kind of past you and Tsukiyama have, I'm sorry, but we can't betray our compatriots."

Shaking his head, the store manager's old voice revealed a lot of helplessness.

The principle of mutual assistance among ghouls is the foundation of the Stable Zone. If someone betrays Tsukiyama Shuu today because they are not happy with him, then who can guarantee that they will not betray others?

Some things, once started, will happen countless times.

"Really, that's really a pity."

Although she said it was a pity, Lin Qiao felt nothing in her heart.

It seemed a pity that he didn't get any information about Guan Yueshan Xi, but the store manager's reaction was exactly what he expected.

——To put it bluntly, he never thought about being open and honest from the beginning.

It's so outrageous, no one will believe it.

If the store manager really chooses to pursue the matter, he will just make up a passable excuse to get away with it first, and then selectively report to CCG depending on the circumstances.

Crumbs?

Very despicable!

But lies, no matter how true they are, are still false. Once discovered, it is equivalent to credit bankruptcy.

At that time, he naturally would not be able to maintain friendly relations with the Anding District, and might even cause the Anding District to side with another traverser.

In this case, it would be better to prepare early and eliminate possible dangers in advance... or something...

However, all of the above remain at the hypothetical stage, and it’s a good thing that they didn’t actually happen.

"However, although it's a pity that the transaction failed, I can still provide you with some help." Lin Qiao raised an index finger and said very considerately.

"At present, the guy hiding behind the scenes obviously has a certain understanding of the Anding District. This can be seen from the fact that his target is the mother and daughter of Dikou."

"Maybe he came here in person, or maybe he left something behind to monitor you. As for the time, it shouldn't be too long ago, probably around recently."

"You can think carefully about whether you have seen any special people...such as foreigners or something."

Lin Qiao's words made the store manager and others fall into silence. They all wondered whether they had seen anyone who fit the description during this period of time, but they quickly shook their heads.

Most of the customers in their store are regulars, and if they are strangers, they can be spotted at a glance.

But among these people, there was no one who met the characteristics described by Lin Qiao.

Except.....Kirishima Touka.

"Well, I've never seen a foreigner say that... but... ah, how should I put it?"

The words came to her lips but she couldn't say them. It seemed that she herself didn't dare to confirm whether her thoughts were correct. She scratched her head in annoyance.

"Anyway, there is one suspicious person, and the time is right, and he doesn't have the same smell as other humans..."

Oh.

Apart from anything else, the last point is almost certain.

There are only a few people in this world who do not have RC cells in their bodies.

"His name is Ishimori Takumi."

"..."

"..."

"......"

"......"

"?"

Everyone else's eyes were focused on Lin Qiao. Although they didn't say a word, the slight curves in their lips seemed to say it all.

.....Wait, why do I feel like I'm being excluded from others?

Dong Xiang always felt a little confused when she saw the increasingly strange expressions of the people around her.

The store manager looked at Dong Xiang, who knew nothing, with a strange look in his eyes, then sighed helplessly and looked at Lin Qiao: "Didn't you tell Dong Xiang when you were upstairs?"

“…I forgot.”

Chapter 36 Lost Memories (4k)

When Lin Qiao walked out of the Anding District that night, peaceful life returned.

Regarding Tsukiyama Shuu, Anding District did not give him the information he wanted, nor did they reveal anything about the ghoul restaurant. But they also promised not to interfere in the matter and not to tell anyone else about his existence.

That's enough.

As for Anding District, Lin Qiao never regarded them as partners who could fight side by side, at least not until now.

All we expect of them is that they remain neutral and do not interfere when a conflict arises with another time traveler.

However, it might be because he had accumulated enough favorability in the An Ding District.

Before leaving, the store manager revealed something very important to him: that is, at this time of year every year, Yueshan Xi has a regular habit of traveling abroad.

Hawaii, Maldives, Sicily, Taj Mahal...

It can be as long as half a month or as short as a week.

Although for some reason I came back a little later this year than usual, it should be about the same time now.

"I was wondering why I couldn't find any trace of this guy. So this is what happened."

He could understand why Yueshan Xi would delay his plan to return home.

It was simply because he was afraid of being visited by the CCG after the Yamashita Group's trafficking of humans to the ghoul restaurant was exposed.

Although the Tsukiyama family was wealthy and well-connected, and even the current Prime Minister Wakayama was a classmate and old friend of his father, there was no way those investigators could do anything to him in a case where there was no evidence and not even any suspicion of him.

But...

The less trouble, the better.

It would be better to hide abroad and come back after the storm has passed.

Moreover, even if something unexpected happened, such as triggering a hell-level dungeon like the "Tsukiyama Clan Subjugation War", the CCG would launch a full-scale attack on the Tsukiyama Clan.

But with him around, at least the last spark of the Yueshan family can be preserved so that they can make a comeback in the future.

It really is a big family.

Lin Qiao figured out the reasons very easily. He understood that, to some extent, this was the butterfly effect caused by himself, although it did not hinder his next actions.

Now, the discussion on the Internet about the Yamashita Group trafficking in human beings to ghouls is slowly fading, and has even been overshadowed by the news that a former celebrity couple had cheated on their partners.

That celebrity couple became an overnight sensation and gained even more resources than at their peak... If you say that the Yueshan family didn't contribute anything, Lin Qiao would be the first to not believe it.

Fine.

Judging from the situation, the eldest son of Yueshan family should be returning like lightning soon.

So now all he needs is to wait patiently...

Of course, this doesn't mean there is nothing to do now.

Since then, he has been going to Anding District more and more frequently. Even though the coffee shop has recently announced that it will suspend business, it has not affected him from walking in through the back door and ordering a cup of blended coffee.

Strictly speaking, he and the Anding District are not allies, not even in a cooperative relationship.

But someone doesn't seem to have this awareness, and often sits in it all day like an old man, and even has the foresight to bring a charger.

Every time Dong Xiang saw him, no matter what she was like before, her expression would quickly become extremely weird.

It's probably like wanting to kick someone out but not knowing how to start.

It’s not like Lin Qiao came here on purpose to be annoying.

On the one hand, he had originally planned to continue "staking out" in Anding District. In his opinion, given Yue Shan Xi's personality, when he came back and learned that Anding District was attacked, no matter what he thought, he would most likely come over.

On the other hand, I will continue to communicate with the store manager about Amazon.

There are too few Amazons today.

Although the actual number is actually quite large, and there are even more hiding in the dark, compared to the expected large-scale outbreak, what we have now is at most a drop in the bucket.

This is a good thing, but it also seems a bit counterintuitive and feels more like an intentional effort to control Amazon's numbers.

After all, if it were dumped in places like the water plant, there would probably be few normal people in the entire city by now.

But no matter what, the sooner the other party is dealt with, the fewer people will be infected, and the safer he will be.

It is not necessary to kill the person, you can also break his limbs and then imprison him to exploit the system bug.

But in such tension, there was also a hint of relaxed daily life. When Lin Qiao once again stepped into the stable area, the atmosphere inside seemed to have changed.

"It seems that I came at a bad time today... Then I will leave?"

"No, please come in. In a sense, this is also what you want to exchange with Ishimori."

As if he had foreseen Lin Qiao's arrival, Fangcun Gongshan sighed and invited him in.

Today is the fourth day since Fueguchi Ryoko woke up from her serious injuries.

After a few days of recuperation, plus the ghoul's own recovery ability, her complexion has changed a lot... except that she still finds it difficult to accept her husband's death and seems a little depressed.

Therefore, for the ghouls in the stable area, what they need to face next is the follow-up issue regarding the mother and daughter.

Although Touka was also suspected by Mado Wuxu because of the shop assistant clothes she was wearing, the style of a piece of clothing does not mean anything.

Furthermore, before sufficient evidence is obtained, ghoul investigators are not allowed to use violence against civilians... As long as this point is grasped, everything else will be much easier.

All in all, there is still room for recovery.

In addition, the coffee shop was forced to close due to the attack by Amazon, so in a sense, it just escaped a disaster.

But the situations of Fueguchi Hinami and Fueguchi Ryoko are completely different.

——Their faces were seen by the investigators.

This is the most fatal part!

Unless you hide somewhere and never go out for the rest of your life, you will be found by investigators sooner or later, and may even implicate other people.

And this is where the differences between them lie.

Touka wants to convince others to eliminate the four investigators including Mado Gosho, protect Fueguchi and his son, and avenge Mr. Fueguchi who was killed and turned into a Quinque.

However, it was unanimously opposed by others.

the reason is simple.

After the Amazon appeared, the predation rate in Zone 20 skyrocketed.
