The Villain Knight Doesn't Want to Be a Hero

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.

Generally speaking, it's okay if a kind-hearted person comes, 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.

"ah--!"

"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 to do anything.

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 break away from Lin Qiao's control.

but--

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

"Woo..."

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 ten minutes to go to Anding District from here, and at least twenty 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, and 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 the An Ding District, but in order to save time, he did not elaborate on the Amazon.

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

What should my mother and sister do?

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

Perhaps because of the good experience they had in the past, or because the successive blows had confused her brain, she did not doubt the truth of Lin Qiao's words, but chose to believe.

Fueguchi Hinami realized that no matter what she did, it would be useless. Tears could not be suppressed and she stopped struggling.

Lin Qiao scratched her head with a headache.

However, this situation is not incomprehensible. Even adults will panic and be in a hurry when encountering such things, let alone a child who is not very experienced in the world.

"Let's go, those two investigators are not easy to deal with. It will be too late if we are late."

When the word "investigator" was mentioned, Lin Qiao clearly felt the body of Fueguchi Hinami, who was sandwiched under her armpit, suddenly tremble.

"——Investigator what... I, I don't know..."

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

But the arm holding her waist was like a fixed steel bar, and no matter how hard she tried, she could only be firmly clamped.

"It's really an expected reaction... But please be quiet."

He gently tapped Fueguchi Hinami's head, making the girl who kept moving around calm down. She looked up at Lin Qiao's profile without any expression change, looking pitiful.

"Are you calm now?"

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

"Big brother already... know? "

"Ghoul, you knew about that from the beginning. Both you and the clerk in the Anping District knew it the first time you saw it."

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

The identity... has been discovered...

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

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

"No, I have to pay attention to the key points when I listen to others talk in the future, and the police station is not in this direction... But forget it, let's talk about this later. Anyway, didn't I say, go save your mother?"

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

"From the result - that's right. ”

Although some of them were for their own purposes, such as testing the opponent's reaction and trying to win over the An Ding District.

".....Is that so..."

Hina Fueguchi lowered her head, and even her voice was trembling. She was at a loss for a moment when facing the help extended by Lin Qiao.

Because she was afraid that it was a lie, she didn't dare to accept it, and because she had hope, she didn't dare to refuse.

"But, Ishimori brother is a human, why do you have to do this? Hinami knows that ghouls... ghouls are monsters in the eyes of humans... um?"

Before she finished speaking, her lips were blocked by a finger. Lin Qiao slowly put her on the ground and made a "hush, quiet" gesture with the finger just now.

"Okay, standing in front of me, there is only a cute little girl who is crying, and I didn't see the others. "

He wiped away the tears from the little girl's eyes with his fingers. From the moment he chose to kill, the words "justice" and "hero" had nothing to do with him.

And his nature was not suitable for being a selfless hero.

He felt that his longing was only because he could not become such a noble person, just like the flowers on the cliff, people think they are beautiful because they cannot be touched.

It is regrettable that the childhood dream was shattered, but since he has no chance to become a hero, it is always okay to live a free life, right?

If he can't even do this, it would be too sad.

"As for the reason If I say that, it's probably because I'm very unhappy, and I've figured out something..."

Whether it's suddenly finding out that someone might be plotting against him, or some other messy thing, it makes him feel very unhappy.

Before crossing, you have to take care of this and that, and after crossing, you still have to be restrained and controlled by others... Then, wouldn't my crossing be in vain?

Can he bear this grievance?

Anyway, everyone will have to do it sooner or later. With a smoke gun as a backup, if there is any emergency, such as being beaten to the point of opening your mouth and closing your eyes, you can retreat calmly in the next second.

Then, there is no need to worry.

"So you can trust me? Can you tell me where your mother is now?"

".....Yeah." Fueguchi Hinami nodded gently, wiped her tears with her sleeves, and pointed to the front with determination.

"Just, turn left at the next intersection, in the alley next to the grocery store!"

"Is that so? It seems that it's not too far away. Well, you can help me point the way, and remember not to go too far away later. ”

Quickly made preliminary arrangements for the next action.

Before Fueguchi Hinami, who was standing still, could react, Lin Qiao once again held her horizontally with one hand, clamped her under his armpit, and continued to run in the direction she said.

Although leaving Fueguchi Hinami where she was was also an option, it was better to take her with him as a navigation than to rely on vague oral descriptions to slowly search.

At this time, every second of delay could lead to a tragedy of life and death.

Fueguchi Hinami, who was picked up from the ground, was carried on her back. Judging from the expression on her face, she obviously didn't like this kind of bumpy ride, but now was not the time to care about such trivial matters.

Lin Qiao increased her speed and sped past in the increasingly fierce rain.

After a while, they arrived near the place Fueguchi Hinami said.

Although there was still some distance, the tragic situation caused by the siege of the search officer was still very clear in sight, especially the back of Fueguchi Ryoko falling to the ground as the gunshots rang out.

"Mom.....Ugh!"

Covering the mouth of Hinami Fuekou who was about to speak, Lin Qiao took her to hide behind a wall.

He took out the phone from his pocket and adjusted the angle slightly, observing the situation there through the reflection on the screen.

There were only four ghoul investigators on the field, which was consistent with his memory.

There was an office building directly opposite the alley. Standing at a slightly higher place, one could have a clear view of the situation here. If he was equipped with a handy sniper rifle...

After considering various factors, Lin Qiao did not choose to act rashly.

"But this is a rare opportunity. It's a good time to try the power of the new bottle... Well, let's use this one."

The smoke sword appeared in his hand.

But the next second, it was split in the middle by Lin Qiao. The side with the blade was inserted into the muzzle of the smoke gun, and the original grip was connected to the tail.

"Rifle Mod!"
