Tokyo: Simulation Begins with the Big Sister Next Door

This comment, this rating... An Zeliang's eye twitched slightly, and his mood worsened!

"Intermediate level of anesthesia resistance? Does that count as a skill upgrade?" An Zeliang murmured.

He never expected there would be duplicate rewards. He originally thought that skill upgrades could only be done through points, just like some games where you had to spend a lot of money to play...

However, the level 2 system currently does not have a skill upgrade function.

I wonder if the Level 3 system will unlock this feature, and what new features it will have?

Thinking about it.

Yesterday's points summary has already been updated.

Normally, upon seeing 400 points, An Zeliang would definitely start simulating on the spot.

But he wasn't in the mood today; he needed to deal with the killer first.

Especially after last night's simulation, An Zeliang felt an overwhelming sense of crisis.

Junichi Watanabe has already started plotting!

He might be at home right now plotting how to kill Tamamo Yuki and kidnap his parents.

For a moment, Anze Liang wanted to just go over and kill Watanabe Junichi.

But he restrained himself.

That's too risky!

A complete solution must be used.

If all else fails, then I'll do it myself!

He pondered it over.

Unbeknownst to him, An Zeliang had already arrived at the convenience store entrance.

He stood at the door for a few seconds, then gently pushed open the convenience store door and went inside.

The first thing I saw was a girl, Matsui Rena, who was bored on duty.

Sure enough, she hasn't moved out yet.

An Zeliang's heart inexplicably quickened, but he forced himself to remain calm and pretended to enter the store to buy something.

While selecting items, his gaze fell upon the convenience store's television, confirming that it was, as always, broadcasting TV Tokyo.

TV Tokyo is fine.

Then, as usual, An Zeliang casually bought some snacks and came to pay the bill.

"Anze-kun?"

Didn't you go to school today?

Matsui Rena looked puzzled when she saw Yasuzawa Ryo.

Because at this time, students have already started classes, and convenience stores have passed their morning rush hour.

"I wasn't feeling well today, so I took sick leave," An Zeliang casually offered an excuse, remaining calm as ever.

"Oh, I see. Anze-kun, you need to take care of yourself and remember to take your medicine," Matsui Rena said gently with concern.

then.

After paying, An Zeliang left the convenience store with the snacks.

As he walked out of the convenience store, he glanced back at the gentle girl who, having missed the morning rush hour, was resting her chin on her hand, watching TV with a bored expression.

“It’s true that people cannot be judged by their appearance.”

An Zeliang couldn't help but sigh.

This seemingly quiet and gentle girl is actually a serial killer with a lot of lives on her hands.

Thinking of Reina's gentle and caring words, Anze Liang couldn't help but retort, "You weren't this gentle when you killed me."

It's clear that her concern for him was just a pretense.

These murderers who managed to evade police capture were all excellent actors, possessing acting skills comparable to those of award-winning actors.

After sighing, he didn't linger. He went to the mobile phone shop ahead, bought some phones, and then hurried home carrying a bunch of them.

back home.

Anze Liang placed the mobile phones he had bought one by one on the table, then turned on the TV, switched to TV Tokyo, and began watching today's program.

An interview program was playing on the television.

The person being interviewed was Junichi Watanabe. The old man was chatting with the host with a kind expression, showing no trace of the murderer he was known for.

But often, these are the people who are truly the opposite of what they seem.

It has to be said that if this old man went to act in a movie and played a serial killer, he could probably win the Cannes Best Actor award.

With a sigh, An Zeliang picked up the documents he had compiled overnight. As he flipped through them, he glanced at the kind old man on the television, his eyes flickering slightly as he analyzed the situation.

"He loves the limelight, and even now that he's old, he still wants to maintain the myth of the serial killer, which is why he started a website and frequently appears on related TV programs."

“He didn’t just want to kill people, he wanted people to fear him… It’s a kind of arrogant mental illness, and it’s a problem that most serial killers have.”

After spending this time together, he summarized the information he had about the serial killer.

If his plan works, this message could finally end the myth of the serial killer.

Moreover, it's an end that doesn't require you to lift a finger...

"Next up is our phone interaction segment. If you have any questions or case leads to share, feel free to call and interact with the host and Mr. Watanabe," the beautiful host said with a smile.

That's when.

An Zeliang picked up a bunch of cell phones he had prepared in advance and dialed the TV station's number one by one, while simultaneously making calls.

You might not be able to get through to one or two phones, but with a bunch of phones, you're bound to get one right away, right?

The first phone call.

Other viewers managed to get in.

"Hello, Mr. Watanabe."

"Hello, is there anything I can help you with?" Junichi Watanabe responded to the audience with a smile.

"Here's the thing, I'd like to ask, do you think it's possible that this serial killer is already dead? After all, so many years have passed."

"Perhaps, maybe that's possible," Junichi Watanabe replied, clearly giving a perfunctory answer.

"Really? You think so too? I think so too... But since you believe he might be dead, why are you still tracking him? Is it just to get attention?"

The audience member's question went off-topic, making the host a little embarrassed and ready to interrupt.

But Junichi Watanabe replied in a calm tone, "I'm just gambling, gambling on a possibility, gambling that he's not dead yet, gambling on the possibility that he'll kill again! That way, when he strikes next time, I might be able to catch him!"

"If I could, I would also like the murderer to never appear in this world again, so that perhaps I could be completely free..."

His tone carried a sense of compassion, which inevitably evoked sympathy in the listener.

The end of the first phone call actually boosted Junichi Watanabe's popularity.

Then came the second phone call.

It was another viewer who got in.

However, the first question asked by this audience member stumped the host.

"Mr. Watanabe, do you think it's possible that the serial killer was a woman?"

“He’s a ruthless serial killer, how could he be a woman?” Junichi Watanabe responded.

"It's possible! What if she's just pretending to be a man? For example, using some kind of prop to harm female victims and then pretending it was a man who did it. I think it's very possible! We can't limit our thinking; what if she's a woman?"

"Um...that's also possible."

Junichi Watanabe was clearly helpless and unable to argue, so he just went along with his topic.

"Right, right! I told you it was possible! I even speculated that he might be an alien from another planet, disguised as a human woman, to carry out a human extermination plan! Mr. Watanabe, do you think that's possible?" The audience got more and more into it, analyzing things in a very logical way, leaving Junichi Watanabe speechless.

"..."

Hearing this, An Zeliang shook his head with amusement. These viewers really had wild imaginations.

As expected of a Tokyo-based program, it's a bit ridiculously chuunibyou (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur), but that's to be expected.

at this time.

A cell phone on the table suddenly made a call.

Then a staff member's voice came from the other end, saying that An Zeliang had become the third person who could interact with the guests and hosts of the live broadcast.
