The villain knight doesn't want to be a hero

Put that aside.

From another perspective, the timing of Amazon’s attack on the stable area was too coincidental.

He gave the computer to Fetteguchi Hinami. Firstly, he really wanted to save trouble, and secondly, he was trying to see if he could change the so-called established events.

Judging from the results, the latter undoubtedly failed.

It's just that when he went to Anding District and passed by Dikou's mother and daughter's room, he saw the computer that was still on, with seven or eight pages open in the browser.

It may be a bit arbitrary to say this.

But he felt that if nothing like today's incident had happened, the possibility of the mother and daughter going out would not have been very high.

"It's like forcing things to go in the original direction..."

From an outsider's perspective, when many coincidences come together, it is very likely that it is not a simple coincidence.

To be able to achieve this step, the worst situation is that the opponent can grasp the stable zone, CCG and his movements at the same time, at least part of it.

As for the Amazon that ran into the Anding District, it wasn't a problem.

Is it bait?

Or some kind of temptation?

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that there was something unusual about this matter.

Nowadays, it is unclear whether we are the enemy or not. If you act rashly based on your passion, it is not impossible to step into a trap in the end...

But on the other hand, is it possible that these are just his wishful thinking and that he is overthinking?

Just like a certain bone fighting against the air every day.

Put your personal feelings aside for the time being and think calmly, and the result is...

--do not know.

Frankly speaking, he didn't know what to do now.

He thought he might be sick.

Whenever something happens around you, you will fall into a state of nervousness. You will feel that someone is going to harm you, and then you will subconsciously think about the worst aspects of things.

To put it nicely, this is called over-cautiousness, but to put it bluntly, it is persecutory paranoia.

But he has to do this. To take a step back, what if there is really a sixth child squatting on him?

Do you rush forward to deliver it?

"...But blindly escaping is not the answer. If the other party really wants to kill me, then this is just the beginning. Giving in will only bring about a more deadly crisis."

Lin Qiao stopped while muttering to herself.

Looking at the crossroads in front of me where vehicles were constantly passing and stopping, the expression on my face was somewhat complicated and entangled, and my heart was as heavy as the damn weather.

Weakness cannot buy peace. This is a historical lesson written in blood.

.....But stepping into the trap is also not a wise choice.

From a personal perspective, Lin Qiao was willing to help the Diguchi family, who were completely innocent ghouls.

Good people should not be robbed and pointed at!

And when it comes to killing people, he himself is the executioner with his hands stained with blood. It is understandable for others to call him a "traitor of mankind" for this.

This is not justice, nor is it the protagonist's protective feelings for important people in novels. At most, it is just his self-impression.

He is very clear about this.

But humans are ultimately creatures of both sensibility and rationality.

Even if you know that there are some things that are disadvantageous to you, you still can't help but think about them and even put them into practice.

Taking pure interests as the standard of action... Although it cannot be said to be a sin, Lin Qiao always feels that it is a terrible and sad thing.

——What’s even more sad is that he seems to be gradually transforming into such a person.

"...I don't know the exact location anyway, so it's useless even if I want to do anything, just pretend I didn't see it."

Trying to use this statement to make yourself feel better.

As time passed, the rain around him not only did not get smaller, but became heavier and heavier. When the wind blew, it would wet his trouser legs. Lin Qiao looked down at the area wetted by the rain and sighed.

But just when he was about to take a shortcut home, he saw a little chaos on the other side of the road.

The little figure was running wildly in the crowd, the clothes on his body were soaked, and he even threw the newly bought things in his hand on the ground without looking back.

......

Fueguchi Hinami ran desperately, her heart beating violently in her chest, her lungs felt trembling every time she breathed, and her calves became swollen and painful.

The reason that forced her to do this was not just to escape, but also worry and fear.

Worrying about the safety of my mother and sister, fearing the future of losing everything...

Her mother and sister Dong Xiang fought hard to get her to escape. If she couldn't return to Anding District to find help as soon as possible, all of this might become a cruel reality.

"Mom...sister...come here quickly! Please save mom and sister!"

The tear glands have completely collapsed, and it is unclear whether it is tears or rain liquid dripping from the face.

Of course, her panicked plea for help received no response, so she could only run towards the safe zone regardless.

Fortunately it was a rainy day, otherwise such a little girl running on the street would have attracted some attention.

It's okay if it's a normal kind-hearted person, but if it's the police or a ghoul investigator...

In panic, he bumped into a female passerby and she fell heavily to the ground.

"what--!"

"It hurts...it's true, please watch carefully when you walk!" The woman casually complained dissatisfiedly and left.

Fueguchi Hinami got up from the ground and was about to continue running to the safe area, but suddenly her feet gave way and she fell to the ground again.

Burning pain also came from the knees and ankles at the right time.

Bruises and sprains are not serious injuries to ghouls - but they also need time to heal.

It was at this moment that she realized that by the time she went back, it might be too late.

She closed her eyes in despair and let her tears fall into the puddles on the ground. Even if she tried her best to suppress her cries, it was of no avail.

"Wow...Mom...Sister...!"

In this busy street, she and others seemed to be on two sides of a coin. No one would help her, and no one could help her. It was as if the whole world had abandoned her.

She endured the pain and tried to stand up. Even though she knew it was the case, she could only try her best. She didn't want to give up just like that... and she couldn't give up at all!

Just when she was almost defeated by despair, a shadow appeared above her head, and the cold rain dripping on her body suddenly stopped. Then before the girl could recover, a hand pulled her up from the ground. .

"Ishimori...brother?"

Fueguchi Hinami raised her head. Although her usual cheerful look was gone, and instead she looked serious like she had never seen before, she still recognized the familiar face.

But before she could recover, she was hugged by Lin Qiao with one hand.

Chapter 27: Didn’t I travel through time in vain?

"——Wait, wait, brother Shisen, put me down quickly! I really have something urgent to do, and I have to go back to the stable area now...!"

The girl trapped under her arm struggled hard, trying to escape from Lin Qiao's control.

but--

"Is there anything more urgent than saving your mother?"

"Ugh..."

But in the next second, the unspoken words were stuck in her throat. She hesitated for a while and subconsciously wanted to argue, but Lin Qiao did not give her the chance.

"It takes almost 10 minutes to go to Anding District from here, and it takes at least 10 minutes to go back and forth. No one can guarantee what will happen during this period."

"But even so..."

"And even if you go back, it won't be of any use."

Lin Qiao poured cold water on her cruelly, then deliberately avoided the main road with a lot of traffic and walked to an alley.

I felt it was a bit inconvenient, so I threw the umbrella aside in order not to affect my speed.

"I just came out of the stable area. It can be said that it was a mess because of the sudden attack."

"Miss Iruma and Mr. Furuma are probably chasing the criminals. The store manager is not here for the time being. The only one still in the store is Kaneki Ken."

"But it's a pity that the guy's stomach was opened by Ama...the prisoner. Let alone saving people, just standing up is already in excruciating pain."

And with his fighting power, even if he was really unscathed, what could he do if he went to the scene?

Will you help the investigators complete this month's KPI?

The third-class meritorious service delivered to my door was none other than him.

He briefly and quickly talked about the current situation in Anding District, but to save time, he did not go into details about Amazon.

"...Liar...if that's the case..."

What should my mother and sister do?

Fueguchi Hinami opened her eyes as wide as possible as if struck by lightning. The sudden fear and despair seemed to freeze her entire body.

Maybe it was because of the good experience of getting along in the past, or because she suffered a series of blows that confused her brain. She did not doubt the authenticity of Lin Qiao's words, but chose to believe them.

Realizing that no matter what she did, it would be of no avail, Fluteguchi Hinami couldn't help but shed tears from her eyes, and even her constant struggle stopped.

Lin Qiao scratched her head with a headache.

However, this situation is not incomprehensible. Even adults will panic when encountering this kind of thing, let alone a child who is not familiar with the world.

"Let's go. Those two investigators are not easy to mess with. It will be too late."

When the word "investigator" was mentioned, Lin Qiao clearly felt a sudden tremor in the body of Fueguchi Hinami, who was tucked under her arm.

"——Search, search officer, what... I, I don't know..."

The panic in her heart made her subconsciously deny it, and at the same time she struggled even more fiercely, trying to escape from Lin Qiao's hands.

But the arms holding her waist were like fixed steel bars. No matter how hard she tried, she could only be clamped firmly.

"It's an expected reaction...but please be quiet. "

He gently knocked on the head of Dikou Hinami to calm down the restless girl. She looked up at Lin Qiao's side face, which had no expression at all, looking pitiful.

"Have you calmed down yet?"

"Well..." Fueguchi Hinami bit her lower lip tightly and spoke intermittently.

"Big brother already...knows it?"

"Ghoul, you knew that kind of thing from the beginning. Whether it was you or the clerk in the Anding District, you understood it the first time you saw it."

He nodded calmly. Now that the choice has been made, there is no point in hiding it anymore.

Identity... discovered...

When she realized this, Fueguchi Hinami's mind almost went blank, and her petite body almost curled up.

"Brother Ishimori...are you taking me to the police station?"

"No, you have to pay attention to the key points when listening to other people's speeches in the future, and the police station is not in this direction... But forget it, we will talk about this later. Anyway, didn't I say, go save your mother."

"...Brother is going to...save mom?"

"In terms of results - yes."

Although part of it is for their own purposes, such as testing the opponent's reaction and trying to win over the stable zone.

".....is that so...."

Diguchi Hinami lowered her head, even her voice was trembling, and she was at a loss when faced with Lin Qiao's extending helping hand.

Because I'm afraid it's a lie, I don't dare to accept it, and because I'm hopeful, I don't dare reject it.

"But Brother Ishimori is a human, why would he do this? Hinami knows that ghouls... ghouls are monsters in the eyes of humans... huh?"

Before she finished speaking, her lips were blocked by a finger. Lin Qiao slowly placed her on the ground and made a "shh, be quiet" motion with the finger just now.
