Tokyo: Simulation Begins with the Big Sister Next Door

After a long time.

Anze Liang's mind kept replaying Hoshimiya Rin's analyses...

There are also cases where someone uses another person's own hand to commit murder.

The complex and ever-changing information makes the future even more unpredictable.

His mood tonight is destined to be anything but calm.

Chapter 92, Page 90: Experience Points Reward, Matsui Rena's Gaze

late at night.

Mosquitoes buzzed around his ears. An Zeliang slowly opened his eyes, his dark pupils staring at the mosquitoes flying around. Just as it was about to land, he suddenly raised his hand and swatted it dead.

then.

I pulled out a piece of paper from the bedside table, wiped my hands, crumpled it up, and threw it into the trash can.

After getting rid of the noisy mosquitoes, An Zeliang felt even more awake.

Resting his head on his arm and staring at the ceiling, he was too tired to continue the simulation.

His thoughts drifted, An Zeliang's mind filled with the image of Matsui Rena, and the words left behind by what seemed to be a killer of scumbags...

This will not be repeated.

Was it left behind by Matsui Rena? Has she already realized she's being used?

If it really was Rena-chan's words, then it proves that Hoshimiya Rin's deduction was correct, and the scumbag killer really has changed his methods of killing.

If that's the case, then Rena-chan is in even more danger than before...

As he pondered, An Zeliang couldn't help but think of the girl next door, the one who often wore Lolita fashion and appeared and disappeared mysteriously.

Judging from her previous tone and behavior, it seems that she knows the "scumbag killer"... Could she be an accomplice of the "scumbag killer"?

Considering that Lolita girls often dragged large bags of luggage in and out of their homes, An Zeliang felt that the possibility of her being an accomplice was not small.

Even if she wasn't an accomplice, she wasn't an innocent person either.

After pondering for a while, An Zeliang's consciousness returned to tonight's case.

Was Junichi Watanabe's death really caused by a scumbag killer?

Although he was the one who used the "borrowing a knife to kill" skill, the plot has now completely deviated from its intended direction.

Reality is not a simulation. Once things go astray, all the information obtained through simulation must be overturned, and a new simulation must be conducted to obtain more accurate information.

"Let's do it tomorrow. After I get some rest tomorrow, I'll do a serious simulation and see if there are any major changes in the future."

Thinking this, An Zeliang stared at the ceiling, lost in thought for a long time, until he finally drifted off to sleep due to exhaustion.

I had many dreams throughout the night.

In his sleep, An Zeliang tossed and turned, as if he were having a nightmare.

He wasn't woken up until the early hours of the next day when the sound of points being tallied woken him up.

After waking up, An Zeliang first urinated in the bathroom, then collapsed wearily on the sofa and dozed off for a while.

More than an hour later, when the glaring sunlight streamed in, he rubbed his sore eyes, which were tired from not sleeping well, and looked at the settlement panel.

[Today's quality of life summary complete]

[Your interaction with Rena Matsui earns you +5 points]

[Your purchase of a mobile phone earns the store clerk a pleasant surprise, earning you +5 points.]

[You had a conversation with Junichi Watanabe and successfully outmaneuvered him, earning you +25 points.]

[Your interaction with Tomomi Matsumiya earns you +2 points]

[Your interaction with Rin Hoshimiya earns you +3 points]

【you……】

[Because you changed Tamamo Yuki's inevitable death and did something very meaningful, you are rewarded with +10 experience points.]

You earned a total of 52 points yesterday.

[Daily free points of 20 have been distributed]

[Current simulation level: 2]

[Simulator Time Corridor: Three Years]

[Experience Points 14/20]

[Career Points: 439]

There's nothing special about the points reward, but the experience reward surprised An Zeliang.

"There's even an experience reward?" An Zeliang murmured, quite surprised.

He originally meant well and wanted to help the poor Tamamo, but he didn't expect to have such an unexpected reward.

It gave me ten experience points all at once, which is equivalent to the reward from simulating ten trials.

In some ways, this reward is more valuable than yesterday's total points.

After all, you only get one experience point per simulation, and there are no experience point rewards for daily interactions, so this thing is a rare item.

"So, you can gain experience points for saving people?" An Zeliang pondered.

Is this a hidden feature of the system? Or is it a new feature after the system upgrade?

Now that we've discovered this feature, we can explore it further in the future; maybe we can even gain more experience points.

and many more.

Still don't.

If you have to save people every time to gain experience points, wouldn't you be in trouble all the time?

An Zeliang dislikes trouble and has a rather leisurely and carefree personality.

"Let me see, right now, we only have six experience points left before the system upgrade," An Zeliang murmured.

With six points of experience, the system can be upgraded again after just six more simulations!

I wonder what kind of improvement a level 3 system can bring?

I'm kind of looking forward to it.

Then, An Zeliang glanced at the time, stopped simulating, yawned, and went into the bathroom to wash up.

I didn't go to school yesterday, so I can't ask for leave again today.

Although it was late, it's better to be late than never.

While washing up, An Zeliang looked at himself in the mirror and noticed that he had dark circles under his eyes...

That's true. I didn't sleep at all the night before last, and I only fell asleep in the middle of the night last night. I was also woken up by a nightmare this morning... It's normal to feel a little listless.

After packing his things, An Zeliang went out.

Today, because I left home too late, I didn't see Nakano Aoi. It's been three days since I went to school with Nakano-kun.

As An Zeliang walked towards school, his mind was filled with the scenes from last night.

Junichi Watanabe's death, the words left on the wall, and... Rena Matsui!

As he walked under the shade of a tree, An Zeliang subconsciously looked at the convenience store not far away.

After hesitating for a moment, and thinking about his various guesses from last night, Anze Liang decided to go to the convenience store to get a breakfast bento and see Rena-chan's reaction.

Entering the convenience store, An Zeliang put his backpack on the chair next to him and ordered a hot bento box.

As Matsui Rena was getting her lunchbox, she noticed the dark circles under Anze Ryo's eyes and asked with concern, "Anze-kun, didn't you sleep well last night? You have dark circles under your eyes."

"Yes, I went to bed quite late last night." An Zeliang nodded, the shadow of his drooping eyelashes obscuring the dark color in his eyes.

“Anze-kun is still so young, he should take care of his health… Would you like another breakfast milk to replenish your body?” Reina asked gently.

"Okay, I'll have a breakfast milk."

The two were chatting idly when the television in the store started playing footage of Junichi Watanabe's murder the previous night.

Both Anze Ryo and Matsui Rena, who were drinking milk, were drawn to it.

After watching for a while, upon learning of Junichi Watanabe's confirmed death, Rena Matsui sighed softly, "I never imagined that someone who was alive and well yesterday would be gone today..."

"Ok?"

An Zeliang spoke with a nasal tone, feigning ignorance.

"I was referring to that old man in the TV report. I watched his interview yesterday. I never expected him to have an accident today," Matsui Rena sighed.

"Yes, life is unpredictable, and sometimes life is really fragile."

An Zeliang also sighed and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Watanabe was a very good person. He had been tracking down the murderer for so many years and was also taking care of the families of the victims. I never thought that he would also be murdered."

"Mr. Watanabe? Do you know him, Yasuzawa-kun?" Matsui Rena tilted her head slightly, looking at him curiously.

An Zeliang nodded slightly: "Yes, because the murder case involves my classmate, as you know. So I have been investigating the murderer with Mr. Watanabe."

“Just last night, I went to see Mr. Kabutawa.”

“Last night? The news reported that Mr. Watanabe was murdered last night... Yasuzawa-kun, could it be you…” Matsui Rena suddenly adopted a wary posture, but her expression was slightly exaggerated, clearly a joking remark.

"I don't have the ability to kill people."

An Zeliang shrugged, took a sip of milk, and continued, "According to my friend at the police station, based on their investigation, Mr. Watanabe may have been murdered by a strong man, because Mr. Watanabe's body was nailed to the wall, which is something an ordinary person could not have done."

"Nailed to the wall? How terrifying..."

Matsui Rena was surprised for a moment, then said with an apologetic expression, "I'm sorry, Yasuzawa-kun, I was just joking... I didn't misunderstand you."

"It's fine."

An Zeliang shook his head and smiled, not minding at all.

"Anze-kun is such a good person."
