Tokyo: Simulation Begins with the Big Sister Next Door

Otherwise, could it be out of a protective instinct? That wouldn't fit the psychology of a murderer.

After a pause, An Zeliang continued editing the message.

"So, what emotions drove the murderer to want to kill the person who caused the victim's child to go to prison? What kind of psychological state was that?"

"Was it because you developed feelings for the victim's family?"

An Zeliang continued to question.

He wanted to learn from Chizuru's line of thinking in order to sort out his own thoughts and perhaps come to some new conclusions.

Although Chizuru is a bit abnormal, she is very intelligent.

And if he's a pervert, wouldn't that resonate a little with the perversion of a serial killer?

Although Chizuru's perversion isn't that perverted.

After waiting a few minutes, Chizuru's message finally came through.

"Without considering the gender of the victim's child, if he really is a serial killer, it is highly unlikely that the feelings would be those of love."

"Although this kind of feeling seems to exist in novels and anime, I think that if it were a real psychopath, how could he suddenly fall in love with someone? He is more likely to have even more twisted ideas or something."

"For example, did he kill the child he'd watched over for years to satisfy some kind of more twisted psychology?"

An Zeliang raised an eyebrow.

Chizuru's idea was indeed novel, and it also fit the mindset of a psychopathic killer.

An Zeliang pondered that perhaps the other party really did have such a perverted idea, who knows?

but.

For some reason, An Zeliang felt that Chizuru's way of talking was a bit strange, and it was different from her usual confident tone.

After thinking for a moment, he continued typing, "If I were writing a novel and wanted the villainous serial killer to kill the victim's family member when they turned eighteen, wouldn't that be logically difficult to explain?"

Chizuru replied shortly after I posted the question.

"It's not difficult. For example, you can set up this psychopathic killer's initial idea as wanting to raise the child to eighteen years old and then kill him to satisfy his perverted desires."

"In this way, the psychopathic personality of the serial killer can be considered to be completely complete."

Upon seeing Chizuru's message, An Zeliang was taken aback, and then his mind suddenly opened up.

Perhaps from the very beginning, both he and the police were wrong!

Both he and the police believed that the serial killer had wanted to retire, and that Tamamo Yuki's parents' case might be his last, a reclusive act.

However, the reality is likely not so!

Because for this kind of abnormality.

The last case. It has to be the most special one.

It was a case he considered worthy of being called a legend in his life.

and so.

Yukinari Tamamo was the serial killer's final masterpiece...

The murder of Tamamo Yuki's parents may very well have been merely a means to create the necessary conditions for the birth of this work!

An Zeliang felt a chill run down his spine instantly.

This line of thinking.

too crazy.

but.

Of course, abnormal thoughts can't be normal...

Just then, my phone vibrated again.

It was a message from Sister Chizuru. After reading it, An Zeliang's brows furrowed instantly.

"Right, right, if the character you're designing is really being targeted by this kind of pervert, then you can set up this pervert as someone who has always lived near the victim's child."

"After all, just like a painter, the most important work in his heart cannot tolerate any flaws on the canvas. Therefore, living near the victim's home would be more in line with the persona of a serial killer and would also better satisfy the perversion of the persona of a psychopathic serial killer."

"Wouldn't it be better to write the novel this way?"

After reading Qianhe's message, An Zeliang felt a chill run down his spine.

Was the serial killer always by Tamamo Yuki's side?

Rin Hoshimiya?

Aoi Nakano?

No—none of these people could be. Tamamo Yuki doesn't have many friends, except for the people in the club. Could they be her neighbors near her house?

The vegetable vendor?

Or perhaps there are other possibilities—

Suddenly, Junichi Watanabe's image flashed into An Zeliang's mind.

This reporter.

This has always been a part of Tamamo's life.

However, Junichi Watanabe is also paying attention to the families of other victims, so we cannot call him a murderer just because we suspect he is too concerned about Tamamo Yuki's life.

Furthermore, if the other party is a murderer, why would they give me so much detailed information?

"show off……"

Another phrase popped into An Zeliang's mind: a person who thinks he is smart would certainly enjoy the feeling of showing off his achievements to others.

"Wait, why do I empathize with these twisted thoughts so smoothly?" An Zeliang was taken aback.

I thought for a few seconds.

He concluded that it was the simulated personality that had corrupted him.

"I'm not some potential pervert..."

An Zeliang comforted himself in this way.

Now, back to the main topic, who might this serial killer be?

"Without evidence, the murderer could be someone else. Perhaps we should check out Tamamo's neighbors or get to know her friends and family."

An Zeliang pondered.

Then I thought that I was going to Disneyland tomorrow, so I could use my birthday as an excuse to send Tamamo Sachi home, and then do some research around Tamamo's neighborhood.

and.

If the guess about the final masterpiece is correct.

No matter who the killer is.

tomorrow.

He will most likely appear in Tamamo's life.

An Zeliang thought to himself.

Just then, after we finished discussing this topic, my phone vibrated again.

Chizuru sent another message.

"By the way, have you heard of that serial scumbag killer? The one who's killed a lot of scumbags."

"Yes, I've heard about it. There was a man in the apartment building where she killed him."

"Her? You also think she's a woman?"

Chizuru sent a curious message, it seems that she also believes the serial killer is a woman, otherwise she wouldn't have used the word "also".

While thinking, An Zeliang replied to the message: "I speculate that it is most likely a woman, but it is just speculation, there is no evidence."

"Even the police can only speculate until the criminals are caught."

Chizuru replied, then continued, "Actually, the reason I said 'scumbag killer' is because I think this character could be included in your novel; I feel it would create a good plot or something?"

"It's really good."

An Zeliang thought that if he were to actually write a novel, he could indeed include it in the story, as it would create a strong sense of immersion.

but.

For some reason, An Zeliang felt that Chizuru-nee had a lot of time today and was very active and enthusiastic in chatting.

However, because An Zeliang also cared about the "scumbag killer," he didn't think too much about it and instead seriously talked about the "scumbag killer."

"The scumbag killer doesn't seem as twisted as the serial killer, but her methods are very cruel, and she's just as brutal as the serial killer."

"Do you think it's possible that she also has some abnormal emotions or thoughts? If so, I can write them into the novel to strengthen her character."

An Zeliang asked Chizuru-nee, hoping she could offer some inspiration.

The "Scumbag Killer" is a ticking time bomb. Although he hasn't harmed me recently, he hasn't even appeared in simulations.

but.

An Zeliang had a feeling that she was right beside him!

This creepy feeling is so uncomfortable.

After a while, Chizuru replied: "She definitely has abnormal emotions. We can set it up so that either she was cheated on by a scumbag, or her family or people around her were deceived by a scumbag, which is why she is so extreme. That's roughly how it's set up."

"Furthermore, if she's to be portrayed like a real-life scumbag killer, I think she should be a muscular woman who knows martial arts or works out regularly... After all, it's not so easy for an ordinary woman to kill an adult man."

"Of course, if she's set up as a normal girl, she could be portrayed as weak. Then she could use her weak appearance to deceive men, and then kill the scumbag."

"Sister, you know so much about assassins! You're not the scumbag killer, are you? [wise expression.jpg]" An Zeliang jokingly sent a message.

Sister Qianhe's analysis is so comprehensive.

However, he knew, of course, that Chizuru couldn't possibly be a heartbreaker.

After all, they grew up together. How could her sister possibly become a heartbreaker behind her back?

Furthermore, Chizuru has never been deceived in a relationship by a man.
