Am I a bad person? They all want to kill me?

Lin Qing'an stretched, put away his phone, and lazily went to get his schoolbag.

Then, the two left the school together.

After leaving the school, the two walked together for two blocks because they were going the same way before they parted ways.

014. "Sleeping Pills"

In an empty luxury high-rise apartment.

Before going to bed, Yukinoshita opened her laptop and visited the detective agency's website, wanting to find out about the progress of their investigation.

She reached a deal with the other party last Saturday afternoon.

According to the agreement, the other party had to send her Lin Qing'an's past information within three days.

And now it is late Monday night, and there are only twenty hours left until the end of the mission.

"The survey has been completed and the information has been sent to the designated email address."

"Also, please settle the balance in time."

Looking at the message on the web page, Yukinoshita raised her eyebrows slightly.

Already done?

This efficiency is worthy of the detective agency that my sister said is reliable.

Thinking of this, Xuexia quickly logged into her email and checked Lin Qingan's information.

The email address she designated for the detective agency was not her usual email address, but a newly registered email address for transactions.

There were only two emails in the empty mailbox. One was sent from the mailbox official, wishing users a pleasant experience.

The other one was an anonymous email from a detective agency.

She opened the anonymous email, downloaded the attachment, and read it carefully from beginning to end.

"Lin Qingan, male, born on February 2003, 2, now 21 years old. "

"Weight at birth: 3.62 kg..."

"The nursery school is in......"

"I attended elementary school in ......"

"He showed his talent in primary school. No matter what he learned, he could understand it quickly and master it immediately. He was much better than his peers."

"I attended junior high school in ......"

"When I was in the second grade of junior high school, I was suspected of being bullied at school."

"As a result, the four bullies all transferred to other schools a month later, and they themselves were not affected at all."

"It is difficult to investigate exactly what he did. We can only confirm that his parents and school teachers did not intervene in this incident."

"Even his parents and teachers didn't know that bullying had ever happened."

"After graduating from junior high school, I was admitted to Chiba City Sobu High School with excellent grades (second in the grade in terms of deviation value)."

"According to the investigation, after graduating from junior high school, he received an admission notice from Tokyo Metropolitan Koukou Ikusei High School, but for unknown reasons, he chose to refuse. "

"During the one year he attended Sobu High School, he didn't make any friends and was always alone."

At the end of Lin Qingan’s profile, the reliable detective wrote a character profile of Lin Qingan based on the existing information.

A simple summary is.

"Low-key, lazy, patient, selfish, and hedonistic."

"When it's not necessary, he will just immerse himself in his own world, and the danger level is very low."

"And if things come to their doorstep, they will definitely take the initiative to eliminate the unsettling factors completely."

"In short, it is not recommended to provoke unless necessary."

In addition to Lin Qingan’s own information, the reliable detective also provided information about Lin Qingan’s parents.

"Hayashi Sogo, father of Lin Qing'an, director of the General Affairs Department of the Chiba branch of "Wakasakura Life". 】

"A second-generation Chinese, graduated from Sophia University..."

"Lin Chiho, Lin Qing'an's mother, originally named Mochizuki Chiho, a counter clerk at the post office in Chiba Wakaba District."

"I graduated from high school, but didn't go to college..."

The information about Lin Qing'an's parents is not very detailed, but it is enough to be used as information about Lin Qing'an.

Looking at the photos of Hayashi Sougo and Hayashi Chiho when they were young, Yukinoshita finally understood how Lin Qingan got such a good-looking appearance.

After reading all the information, Yukinoshita paid the remaining balance through online transfer.

After doing all this, she took out Lin Qing'an's information and read it carefully.

Combining Lin Qingan’s past information, his experience in the “simulated world”, and recent actual contact.

Yukinoshita had a rough idea in her mind.

She sat in front of the computer, thinking quietly.

A few minutes later, Yukinoshita seemed to remember something and took out a plate of unmarked pills from the desk drawer.

These were the sleeping pills she had bought from the detective, and she had found time to pick them up on Sunday afternoon.

According to the instructions sent by the detective, just one tablet dissolved in water can put a healthy adult into sleep for a full eight hours.

During this time, no matter what you do, the other person will not wake up.

In addition, the detective assured him that falling into a coma would not affect the normal functions of the human body.

"..."

Yukinoshita looked at the pills in her hand, her eyes flickering.

She didn't want to do anything to Lin Qing'an on her own initiative, she just wanted to use the pills to protect herself.

If one day, Lin Qing'an suddenly attacks, she will first electrocute Lin Qing'an and then feed him pills to ensure her own absolute safety.

In addition, before including sleeping pills in the self-defense sequence, she needs to test the efficacy of the sleeping pills first.

As for how to test, of course I have to trouble Lin Qing'an, the "patient".

Thinking this way, Yukinoshita took out a sleeping pill, ground it into powder, and then divided it into four portions and packed them up.

One tablet was so potent that she only needed to use a quarter to test its effectiveness.

One quarter of eight hours is exactly two hours, which is almost the time for club activities...

015. "Sleepy Tea Under the Snow"

After preparing the sleeping pills, Yukinoshita did not rush to take action.

Tuesday, October 4th.

Yukinoshita brought a set of tea set into the service club.

That afternoon, before Lin Qing'an arrived, she brewed black tea in advance.

When Lin Qing'an came, she served him a cup of black tea in a very natural manner.

"The tea soup is like amber, crystal clear, with a delicate luster, mellow and sweet in the mouth, and the fragrance is rich and lingers for a long time. Minister Yukinoshita's tea art is really amazing, but..."

"I like sweets. Do you have any sugar? I want some."

Facing Lin Qing'an's praise, Yukinoshita responded calmly.

As for his request to add sugar, Yukinoshita told him bluntly that the sugar cubes were in the locker and he could add it himself.

October 4, Wednesday.

Just like yesterday, Xueshita brewed black tea in advance before Lin Qing'an came, and served it to him when he arrived.

However, there was one difference from yesterday. Today, Xueshita took the initiative to add sugar cubes to Lin Qing'an's cup of black tea, but she deliberately did not wait for the sugar cubes to completely melt before serving the black tea to Lin Qing'an.

Looking at the white sugar cubes in the cup that had not yet completely melted, Lin Qing'an didn't care. He just drank it the same way as before.

October 4th, Thursday.

Everything is business as usual.

Friday, January 4th.

Yukinoshita is ready to take action.

At noon that day, she took advantage of her lunch break and came to the service department early, took out a piece of sugar, dug a small hole on the side, and put the previously ground sleeping pill powder into it.

In the afternoon, when Lin Qing'an came, she put the sugar cubes with ingredients into the teacup in front of Lin Qing'an.

Before taking action, she had already experimented at home and found that the powder of the sleeping pills dissolved faster than sugar cubes, almost instantly dissolving in water, so there was no need to worry about Lin Qing'an noticing anything.

One more thing...

Having served Lin Qing'an at a distance for a whole year in the "simulated world", she knew very well how much Lin Qing'an loved sweets.

It was based on this that she designed the trap for Lin Qing'an.

"Thank you."

Facing the black tea presented by Yukinoshita, Lin Qing'an thanked her gently, then picked up the teacup and savored it carefully.

In just ten minutes, Lin Qing'an finished a whole cup of black tea while reading a book.

After drinking, Lin Qing'an picked up the teapot again, poured himself a cup, and added two sugar cubes.

Then he returned to his seat and continued reading.

What he was reading was naturally not a literary work, but a light novel, the title of which was... "Love Metronome"!

Since junior high school, he has been paying attention to a light novel author named "Kasumi Shiko", until this year, the other party finally made her official debut!

The book "Love Metronome" in his hand was the debut work of "Xia Shizi". The first volume of the book was just published yesterday at noon, and he bought it in the afternoon.

He started reading this book yesterday afternoon and almost finished it by the evening. This counts as his second reading.

How should I put it, the writing style is indeed very delicate, and the details are extremely outstanding, which is very consistent with his expectations of "Xia Shizi"'s work.

It’s just that the plot is not very outstanding. Although reading it gives people a sense of the hazy beauty of adolescence, it lacks the "crackling" electric shock feeling.

In short, the book is excellent, but the current plot development is not enough to impress him as an old bookworm.

However...from the very beginning, his purpose was not for the book, but for the beautiful female writer named "Kasumi Shiko".

Thinking like this, Lin Qingan's thoughts began to drift away. He began to think about how to connect with this beautiful young writer through her works...

"Ha~~"

While thinking, Lin Qing'an suddenly felt a little sleepy.

At first, the sleepiness was not very obvious, but as time passed, the sleepiness came like a tide, wave after wave.

What's going on? Why am I so sleepy? Is it because I didn't sleep well last night? Or did I not get enough sleep during the daytime classes?

"Bullmaster Yukinoshita, I'll take a nap. Call me when you're ready to leave."

Lin Qing'an, who didn't understand what was going on, resisted the urge to sleep. After informing Xueshita, he lay down on the table and prepared to take a nap.

The moment his eyes closed, Lin Qing'an's thoughts fell straight into the bottomless abyss. After just a moment, his snoring sounded quietly.

Listening to the familiar snoring, Yukinoshita closed the book and looked at Lin Qing'an with strange eyes.

She was very familiar with this snoring sound of moderate volume and unusually evenness.

In the "Simulated World", Lin Qing'an, who had been fighting endlessly and working too hard, would almost always make such snoring sounds after falling asleep.

She had fallen asleep to this snoring countless times.

"Student Lin, wake up, the activity time is over."

To be on the safe side, Yukinoshita tried to wake up Lin Qing'an first.
