But beauty always passes by in a flash.

It was their wedding anniversary not long ago, and as a husband, Mitsui Kota wanted to give his wife a surprise.

—and then gone forever.

After police investigation, the location where Mr. Mitsui was last seen was found. It was an intersection 300 meters away from the jewelry store. Mitsui Mitsui happened to pass by there at that time, holding a wrapped gift box in his hand and a smile on his face. Wearing a happy smile.

But the clues have been completely cut off since then.

No matter in the subsequent surveillance video or witness testimony, Mitsui Kota was never seen again. A living person seemed to have suddenly evaporated, and his whereabouts are unknown.

No body has been found, and there is no news of anyone alive. Life or death is unknown.

In the end, the police classified the incident as a missing person and said they would intensify the search... and then handed it over to the CCG.

irresponsible?

On the contrary, this is the most correct choice.

They have seen this kind of thing too many times. Anyone with any brains knows how a living person can disappear out of thin air while walking down the street.

You can use your feet to figure out what happened.

Especially since it has not been very peaceful recently, and various cannibalism incidents have occurred frequently. If it is not directly determined as death, it is just due to insufficient evidence. By the way, I just want to leave a message to the family.

Mitsui Emi burst into tears, and the light makeup on her face was stained because of it. The knuckles holding the ring on her ring finger turned slightly white: "I hate those man-eating monsters!"

After their lover left, the business founded by the two became like a demon, and the dream of the past became the nightmare of today.

Lin Qiao silently handed the tissue to the other party: "...Please express my condolences."

Now all he can say is this. It's not that he can't understand the sadness of the other party. The second before he was killed by the female car goddess, his heart was full of fear and despair, as well as a sense of powerlessness against the cruel reality.

However, there is a lack of comparability between the two. After all, everything he experienced was too short.

Basically, he entered the resurrection match as soon as he closed and opened his eyes, and there was no time for him to develop feelings. When he finally had time later, it seemed that there was no need... He had already won and he was still brewing a ghost. ah!

In contrast, Mitsui Mitsui was not so lucky.

"Sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned this kind of thing..." She wanted to say something but was stopped by Lin Qiao.

"After all, something happened to the people closest to you. It's human nature to feel sad about it. There's no need to feel sorry for it."

Looking into Lin Qiao's clear eyes, Mitsui Emi suddenly remembered that the other person's parents were killed because of this, and she couldn't help but feel a flash of shame in her heart.

Even though it brought back painful memories, he still came to comfort me...

Mr. Ishimori, you are very gentle now.

"But I'm sorry, Mr. Ishimori, I can't be as strong as you."

"what?"

Lin Qiao was stunned for a moment, why did it get involved with me?

"Um...well, actually being strong is okay..."

There was some uncertainty in his words. Could it be that the topic deviated from a strange angle without him knowing?

In order to avoid such ridiculous incidents as cross-server chatting, he decided to bring the topic back.

"Anyway, I understand the general story. It's not that I can't understand your choice after something like this happened. It's just that you have thought about what to do next?"

"I......"

She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but nothing came out. Mitsui Emi's eyes were wandering and she pressed her lower lip tightly.

"...I want to leave Tokyo first and then make plans."

"Is that so..."

That is to say, I have never thought about this issue.

Now Mitsui Emi just wants to escape from all this as quickly as possible and go as far as possible. As for what will happen in the future... Although she has thought about it, the pain caused by reality is far greater than the confusion about the future, which makes her subconsciously avoids the issue.

"...I'm sorry for causing you trouble." Mitsui Emi barely stopped her tears, her tone full of apology.

"The dead are gone, but the living are like this, and life must go on."

He tried to comfort the other party, but it didn't seem to have much effect.

He did not choose to keep Mitsui Emi. For him, it was best if the other party could choose to stay, and it didn't matter if she left. Moreover, staying in a place that was full of sadness for her was not necessarily a good thing.

After bidding farewell to the young widow, Lin Qiao walked out of the store.

It was getting late, the weather was getting cooler, and the breeze blew away a lot of the sweet cake smell from his body.

Finally, I looked back at the bakery behind me. The cute fonts and the sign of "Dessert Selection" gave me a strong girly feel.

It's a pity that the so-called sweetness has long since turned into a heart-wrenching scar.

"I never thought I would be able to comfort people one day." Lin Qiao felt a little unsure of what to say... dumbfounding?

"Escape can't solve the problem. In the end, you have to face it... Obviously the person least qualified to say this is me."

It sounds reasonable to say that escaping is shameful but useful, but only if you can escape.

He stretched out his palm, and a strange bottle that could be completely held in his palm appeared in his hand.

The bright red bottle contains unknown ingredients. When the bottle is gently shaken, it will make a strange sound. There is a spider logo carved with white paint on the bottle, and at the bottom is a spider sculpture that is about to open its mouth to prey.

This world does not lack all kinds of tragedies, nor does it lack protagonists.

Although some things clearly know that even if you leave them alone, they will have a happy ending in the end, but...

"When all this is really happening in front of you, who can keep their expressions unchanged?"

He had obviously tasted the bitter consequences of being nosy not long ago, but why couldn't he control himself!

The hand holding the spider evolution bottle was squeezed hard, and just like a magic show on TV, the bright red bottle disappeared in the same way.

Chapter 4: Going out in the middle of the night is definitely not good.

It has to be said that Lin Qiao's attitude has become very negative since he traveled to the world of "Tokyo Ghoul".

In the past two months, he had barely left the house unless necessary.

Due to everything that happened in the resurrection game, he subconsciously didn't want to have any contact with other people, and he didn't even pay attention to the tasks issued by the system.

There was no time limit anyway, and apart from not being able to leave Tokyo, the system basically had no restrictions on him.

There is no study, no life burden, and no one urging him to find a partner. He is free and free to do whatever he wants. Even if he stays up late playing games and eating snacks, he doesn’t have to worry about dark circles or gaining weight. Almost everything is done. It's perfect.

If that's the case, why bother fighting?

Simply put it on display.

With the identity and funds arranged by the system, he lives a life of a dead house every day. As for what happens in the outside world, what does it have to do with him?

He has no intention of becoming a city vigilante. The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. It has nothing to do with him...

Although this kind of thing is not his concern, whenever something happens in front of him, he will regret it at the last moment and forcefully get involved.

"I never noticed before, do I like to meddle in other people's business so much...or is it just a whim?"

There should be all of them.

There was such a sigh in the heart, just like people would feel sad when they see a wild cat or dog die in front of them, but they would only let out a faint "oh" when they hear the death of someone they have never met thousands of miles away.

Lin Qiao doesn't mind doing what he can. If someone asks him for help, he will lend a helping hand to the other person, but all this must be based on the premise that he can do it and will not harm him personally. Don't count on it.

For example, what he can do now is very limited.

Press E to search the scene to automatically deduce information, and then use the existing clues to do a mentally retarded elimination method - if it were a game, then the investigation process would probably be like this.

However, in reality, this garbage game does not have such convenient functions, otherwise there would not be such unsolved cases in the world.

Don't mention Conan or anything like that. Substituting anime into reality is really a serious mental illness.

And to take a step back, although in the plot of Conan, Edgar Allan Poe had to get angry from the coffin board and then die, but the murderer is still a person after all, and even the species has been changed here, which makes the difficulty super doubled.

As for finding hidden clues…

Not to mention that almost two weeks have passed, and it rained heavily in the meantime. All clues will be washed away for you all night long. Even if you find it, will it be useful?

Even the experienced police officers can't find the whereabouts of Mitsui Kota. What is he messing around with as a person who has never been a "detective" since he was born?

A layman guiding an expert, in the words of a former captain named Fan, might even cost him his face.

"Although a face is not worth a few dollars, if you can't do it, you can't do it."

In the middle of the night, Lin Qiao lay on the bed tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

——He had insomnia again.

On the one hand, I slept too much in the park during the day and couldn't sleep at night.

On the other hand, his need for sleep has been reduced a lot now. A maximum of two hours of sleep a day is almost enough. Even if he doesn't sleep for three or four days in a row, there will be no obvious discomfort.

To be honest, he missed the old days of sleeping until noon.

"But now, it's actually quite good... If it were before, I should be playing games right now, right?"

Then for two or three days in a row, I would go offline and fight with my teammates, using beautiful Chinese language to tell the opponent how many ways the horse could die.

But that too is history.

Lin Qiao got up and glanced through the door at the cabin that looked like a typhoon passing through. Lin Qiao felt doubly sad.

A few days ago, the CCG investigators and the ghoul had a fight in front of his house, and then because of his intervention, the fight in front of the house evolved into a full-scale armed attack inside the house.

The demolition effect is much more powerful than that of a dozen huskies. At least the huskies demolish the house after the person leaves. It's better to demolish it in front of him!

My blood pressure went up!

Lin Qiao, who had completely lost her sleep, yawned and got up from the wrinkled bed.

"I feel like if this continues, mushrooms will grow all over my body...Forget it, let's go out for a walk."

As he spoke, he stretched. He wasn't complaining, it was just that he was too busy at home and went out to breathe fresh air.

Although going out for a walk in the middle of the night always makes people think that there is something wrong with their brains, but... who makes him very free, he can go wherever he wants.

After getting dressed and washing her face with cold water, Lin Qiao walked out of the room, closed the door and left without locking it.

Anyway, the house is already in this state. There are no valuables and a lot of rags. Just throw them away. I don’t feel bad... No, it’s better to say that.

Just pretend that someone is cleaning up the house for free, which saves him from having to do it himself. And if he is lucky, he might be able to catch him when he comes back, and then he can ask for some mental compensation or something. No matter how he looks at it, he has made money. right.

This is a win-win situation.

Under the night sky, rows of street lights light up in the dark, making the dark environment brighter.

Lin Qiao was walking alone on the edge of the road, with her long back trailing behind her. The number of pedestrians around could not be said to be very few, but it could also be said to be almost none. She had a strange feeling that she was the only one left in the world.

But if that's the case, maybe it's not bad?

You don't need to consider other people's feelings, you can do whatever you want. The only drawback may be that you are a little lonely, but so what?

He was alone in this world and had nothing to worry about.

Throwing the messy secondary thoughts out of his mind, the evening breeze blowing in his face made him feel relieved.

There are really not many people who would choose to go out at this time, or most of the people who say it are not serious people... Why did you choose to go out at this time? Don't you have some ideas in mind?

There were quite a lot of people in places like bars and KTVs, but Lin Qiao really didn't want to go.

First, the environment is too noisy and the staff is complicated.

Secondly, he didn’t know anyone, so there was no point in going alone.

"Why don't we go find a place to have something to eat."

Lin Qiao thought this way, it was still quite some time before dawn, instead of blowing the wind outside all night, it would be better to find a comfortable place to sit down, eat and drink, and use the wifi.

but.....

"That's what I'm saying, but it's just that there aren't many stores open at this time."

Not to mention well-decorated stores like izakayas, there are not even roadside stalls.

Somewhat bored, he kicked the can in front of his feet. The brightly packaged metal can rolled forward slowly, making a gurgling sound when it collided with the ground, breaking the quiet atmosphere around him.

To be honest, that kind of sound seems a bit...scary in this environment. If it were put on an underworld filter, it could probably be used in a horror movie.

However, Lin Qiao himself did not feel this way. Instead, after seeing the trash can not far away, he felt as if he was possessed by countless foot-bound ghosts. He raised his foot and fired a powerful volley.
