Tokyo: Simulation Begins with the Big Sister Next Door

Please wait a moment until the second audience member finishes, then you can connect to the phone.

While waiting, An Zeliang downloaded a voice-changing software and used it to alter his voice and tone.

"Excuse me, are you still there?"

That's when.

The host's voice came through the phone.

"Here I am."

While using the voice changer, An Zeliang also pinched his nose to change his voice, a double precaution.

"Would you like to participate in the discussion?" the host asked politely.

Because the questions asked by the two audience members before were so ridiculous, the host had already given up hope for the questions that followed.

I just hope it's not too outrageous!

"I think the serial killer was a tragic figure."

An Zeliang's gruff voice reached the television station, and then spread to every viewer watching.

Upon hearing this, Junichi Watanabe frowned slightly.

"How did you come to this conclusion?" Junichi Watanabe asked, his tone still relatively normal.

An Zeliang did not answer the question, but continued, "I think he is a person who craves attention and fame. He has been living in his own self-created myth, like a pathetic mental patient."

"He is also a stubborn and self-willed person, and he must lack a sense of existence in real life. In my opinion, his tragedy must have started from his decadence and worthlessness in his youth."

"I guess he might have been belittling himself when he was professing his love to his crush, and then he accidentally killed the woman he loved."

"That accident... gave him his first taste of the power that comes with killing... From then on, he was unable to extricate himself and became a puppet of his desires."

"What serial killer? He's just a puppet!"

Anze Ryo's words struck a chord with Watanabe Junichi.

Junichi Watanabe frowned, unconsciously touching his ring, and retorted in an unfriendly tone, "You say these guesses are just your delusions!"

"No one understands this serial killer better than me! He is cunning and rational, and in fact, he possesses a wisdom that is unimaginable to ordinary people."

"otherwise."

"How could the police be so easily fooled by him? How could such a terrifying character be as pathetic as you describe? You're talking complete nonsense!"

"Mr. Watanabe certainly knows the killer best, but this viewer's perspective is quite interesting." The beautiful host, rarely having a serious viewer offer such analysis, naturally didn't want a conflict between the audience and the guest, so she quickly asked, "So, does this viewer think the killer will continue to commit crimes in the future?"

At this moment.

An Zeliang continued confidently, "No! He's old, he's no longer capable, he's become insignificant."

“A small child could probably defeat him, or he might accidentally fall down while going upstairs and never be able to stand up again.”

"How could someone this old still be killing people?"

His tone was serious.

Junichi Watanabe couldn't help but interject, "No, I think you're wrong! I have the exact opposite opinion. I think the serial killer will definitely strike again. We can't judge a serial killer by common sense!"

"I think there will likely be many more victims in the future!"

"After all, the serial killer was able to escape the police's pursuit so easily, and the police had no way to deal with him... To this day, he is still the most valued serial killer by the police."

"Although I hate to say this, we should feel fear because of this serial killer... He may be in the crowd, now looking for his next prey."

As Junichi Watanabe spoke, he sighed deeply, as if mourning for the innocent.

An Zeliang laughed and continued, "Oh? The one most valued by the police? Mr. Watanabe, if I may be frank, based on my understanding, the most feared killer by the police and the public is that scumbag killer."

An Zeliang's words were echoed by many audience members.

"That's right, this scumbag killer is truly terrifying... He's killed dozens of people in just a few years..."

"I heard that the 'scumbag killer' isn't just killing men anymore; he's been targeting women lately too!"

"Really? He truly is the most terrifying murderer!"

"I feel that a scumbag killer is much scarier than a serial killer."

"Sigh, I must be more careful when I go out in the future, and never come into contact with strangers..."

The audience at the live broadcast were discussing how the "scumbag killer" had left a much stronger shadow on people than the serial killer from years ago.

This slightly annoyed Junichi Watanabe, but he didn't show any reaction on the surface; he simply chuckled.

“I’m not keen on reporting on minor figures like the ‘scumbag killer’ because I know he’ll eventually slip up and get caught by the police.”

Then, he looked at the audience and the camera: "Ladies and gentlemen, we are now discussing a highly intelligent criminal who has escaped legal punishment for decades, not an antisocial individual who kills people in the city out of impulse and desire. Look at that guy's case; he even sometimes presents the murder scenes in a rather dramatic way."

"Yes, I've also looked into the 'scumbag killer,' after all, I'm a journalist. I can tell you with certainty that the so-called 'scumbag killer' is nothing but an arrogant, conceited, and self-righteous guy... He's nothing like a cautious and powerful serial killer."

"He'll prove me right sooner or later, and the police will catch him easily!"

"The scumbag killer and the serial killer are not comparable at all, and the level of importance that they need to be taken seriously is completely different."

"He's just an outsider who'll be abandoned sooner or later, while the serial killer... I've got some information that this character will be written into textbooks at prestigious American universities."

Some viewers thought it made sense, while others disagreed.

Seeing that the situation was getting increasingly awkward, the host immediately said, "Please be quiet, everyone. Let's hear Mr. Watanabe's analysis first."

An Zeliang did not continue speaking, but calmly hung up the phone.

On the coffee table in front of him were many research materials, including those of serial killers, scumbag killers, and other serial killers.

He felt a little complicated.

I was a little uneasy.

There were also some indescribable emotional ups and downs.

"Will it succeed?"

An Zeliang was almost in the living room, absentmindedly flipping through the files.

Time passes.

It keeps circulating.

It wasn't until evening that Anze Liang picked up his phone and called Junichi Watanabe.

No one got through.

after awhile.

Hit again.

Still no answer.

Anze Liang picked up the pistol and hid it in his waistband. Following the information he had learned from Tamamo Yuki, he went to the detached house in the suburbs where Watanabe Jun lived.

There were no lights inside the house.

Total darkness.

An Zeliang touched his pistol, walked to the gate, and found that the gate was not closed. He carefully pushed the gate open, took out a flashlight with his other hand, and went inside.

silence.

pitch black.

There was no movement from anyone.

An Zeliang arrived in the living room.

The light was turned on.

immediately.

He put down the pistol in his hand, his expression not changing much, and looked up to see the situation in the living room.

Junichi Watanabe was pinned to the wall by a long spear.

The room was covered in blood, a bloody and terrifying scene that resembled the painting titled "Divine Punishment" on the other side of the living room, depicting the demon being killed by the knight.

Look up further.

An Zeliang's eyes flickered slightly.

I saw.

Above the nailed old man, a line of words was written in his blood.

This will not be repeated.

It's like a message left by a murderer for the visitor.

Chapter 91, Section 89: Big Sister Matsumiya Tomomi

Looking at the bloodstains on the wall, An Zeliang's expression was surprisingly calm. He turned his head and looked around the room. After confirming that there was no danger, he put away his pistol and hid it in a nearby mezzanine.

Then he took out his phone and dialed the police.

After calling the police, An Zeliang put away his phone and looked at Junichi Watanabe's body, his face expressionless.

He remained frighteningly calm throughout.

He should have felt fear, disgust, and nausea... but for some reason, the moment he saw the corpse, all his emotions turned into calm.

"Now... do you still think she's an amateur?" An Zeliang murmured, slowly coming back to his senses.

The reason I came to the scene in person was because I needed to confirm that Junichi Watanabe was really dead.

His presence was too dangerous; An Zeliang didn't want to have a ticking time bomb by his side.

As for using a simulated personality to test Junichi Watanabe, while it could avoid some danger, it's unrealistic because the simulated personality is too unpredictable. Ryo Ansawa cannot control the simulated personality.

Moreover, he made many preparations for being there in person.

From pistols to fruit knives... coupled with his own various fighting skills, even if surrounded by a dozen strong men, An Zeliang was confident that he could escape unscathed.

He certainly wouldn't come to investigate if he didn't have absolute strength.
