The Villain Knight Doesn't Want to Be a Hero

Even though it is still at the bottom compared to other districts, if four investigators are killed at the same time at this time, it is not ruled out that the CCG will send people to search the place thoroughly.

It would really be the end of the ghouls in District 20 at that time.

Therefore, the most appropriate solution is to find a suitable opportunity and send them to Area 24, which is beyond the reach of CCG... But that place is somewhat difficult to describe.

The only thing that is certain is that with the abilities of Dikou mother and daughter, it is basically impossible to survive in that kind of place.

——To put it more bluntly, this is no different from letting them die.

At least that's what Lin Qiao thought as a bystander.

But with him here, at least this worst case scenario won't happen.

"If you are worried about this, then don't worry too much, just live as normal as before." He made an extremely irresponsible statement.

It's just like knowing that your roommate may fail the exam tomorrow, but still dragging him to play games all night long.

Even the store manager felt that he was too old, had some kind of strange auditory hallucination just now, or that the person in front of him had been switched.

"What the hell are you talking about! Do you really know the consequences of our identity being discovered? If it wasn't...it wasn't you...damn it!"

He squeezed out a sound from his throat like gritted teeth, but in the end he could only hold back all his dissatisfaction.

If you hadn't killed the four investigators, why would Miss Ryoko and the others have been in this situation... I really wanted to shout out so willfully.

But she also clearly understood that as an outsider, Lin Qiao had already done enough.

And as someone whose life was also saved, she had no qualifications to say this.

Putting aside her personal feelings, she didn't know that the store manager's choice was the right one, but...

But this statement itself is the biggest problem!

"Dong Xiang, I won't say much else. I just want to ask you one thing - do you still remember which way we took that day back to Anding District?" Lin Qiao looked into the girl's eyes, taking her time. said.

"Don't change the subject. What's the use of talking about this kind of thing now...? You obviously are...yes...eh?"

These words made her stunned. She was about to say something in reply, but the words were stuck in her throat.

Speaking of which, she seemed to be unable to remember what happened that day after Lin Qiao defeated the four investigators.

Did she pass out?

No, it seems not. At least the memory before the last investigator fell to the ground was clear, and after that... what happened? Why did she suddenly wake up in bed?

Biting her lower lip, the more she recalled this, the weirder the subtle sense of inconsistency became, as if there was a gap in her memory.

"It seems that you have also discovered it, so can you calm down now?"

Lin Qiao looked as if he was expecting this.

.......

Among CCG affiliated hospitals...

"I'm sorry, Zhengdao, I asked you to come here..."

Lying on the bed, looking at the out of breath Masamichi Takizawa, Amon Kotaro was full of apologies.

Because he had difficulty moving after being injured, he could only entrust matters to the other party.

"No, what the hell... Ah, by the way, this is what you asked for before, Mr. Yamen."

Takizawa Masamichi smiled and waved his hand, and took out a document as thick as half a pinky finger from the shoulder bag.

After getting up and taking it, Armen Kotaro quickly looked through the documents in his hand and frowned.

One is a file related to the Yueshan family.

The other is an analysis report by the CCG research department on the emerging Amazon.

It is equivalent to the expanded version issued by Maru Tesai and others after the last countermeasures meeting. The difference is that there are many more obscure medical terms.

On the surface, there is nothing special about these two files. They are very normal documents.

But why did he ask Zhengdao to sort out these two things and then hand them over to him?

"Mr. Yamen...is there any problem?" Seeing that the other party kept frowning, Takizawa Masamichi couldn't help but speak out.

"No...how should I say..."

Putting the two thick documents aside, Armen Kotaro looked a little confused, but after hesitating for a moment, he chose to continue speaking.

"Honestly, I still can't remember why I did it."

He lowered his head in shame.

Yes, he, Kotaro Amon, has lost his memory.

When he woke up from the hospital, he was completely confused. If his body hadn't been seriously injured, he would have thought it was someone else's prank or something.

Can't understand.

In my mind, the last memory stayed at the moment when he and Mado Gou walked out of the alley to rush for reinforcements.

But he couldn't remember what happened after that.

The two investigators from the branch also suffered from varying degrees of amnesia. The one with the most severe symptoms even forgot the entire past month's experience.

The eldest of the four, Mado Wuxi, is still in a coma of unknown origin.

Although they thought their situation was outrageous, CCG arranged for the hospital to give them a full-body examination.

They were so meticulous that they didn't miss any pores, and sent people to investigate the scene.

But the diagnosis was a bit disappointing.....

First, physical injuries such as concussion can be ruled out as amnesia.

Then drugs, alcohol, malnutrition, and hypothalamic tumors were also ruled out one by one.

The only thing left, which can barely be justified, is Alzheimer's disease.....

Fuck, it's even more outrageous!

If you say that the old man, Mado Wuxu, has Alzheimer's disease, then there is no big problem.

But it happened that three young and strong guys, or in the operation of catching ghouls, and the time of illness was almost the same... Whether this is true or not, it can't be true!

Fortunately, the people in charge of the scene did not mess up, and the Amazon corpse left behind gave them a lot of room for maneuver.

The current internal investigation results are that the dead Amazon will release special poisonous gas, which will cause mild brain damage to the inhaler, resulting in a period of memory loss.

In terms of the results, this is already very close to the truth.

"I'm sorry, Masamichi, I made you run for nothing."

"Don't say that, I'm already very happy to help Mr. Amon." He said, looking away a little embarrassed.

"By the way, Mr. Mado, is it still... like that?"

Amon Kotaro nodded dejectedly, "...Yes, the doctor said there is no danger to life, and all the signs are the same as those of ordinary people, but for some reason, he just can't wake up."

"Although I can't remember it anymore, I heard from others that my Quinque has been completely destroyed, and it may be difficult to repair it. The Amazon corpse is closest to Mr. Mado, so I think it should be Mr. Mado who protected us at that time."

"But it may be for this reason that Mr. Mado is probably the one who is most poisoned among all of us..."

He clenched his fists tightly, and felt extremely guilty when he thought that it was because of his incompetence that Mado Wuxu, who was like his mentor, fell into a coma and now lies on the hospital bed like a vegetable.

At the same time, a violent anger erupted from his chest... but it was useless.

When he realized that whether he planned to kill his enemy or to train like crazy as before, it was impossible to do it now, this anger turned into a deeper self-blame.

"Mr. Amon..."

"Don't worry, Masamichi, I'm fine, and I believe Mr. Mado would not want to see my embarrassing performance immersed in sadness. From the moment we become investigators, what we need to bear is not just our own lives."

Pick up the two documents at hand again:

"Although I still can't remember why I asked you to collect these materials, I believe that during that time, Mr. Mado and I must have encountered something, and perhaps this is why the enemy attacked us."

Chapter 37 Black Hole Coffee Studying

Unconsciously, things are going in the direction that Lin Qiao hopes.

But that has nothing to do with him now. He is dozens of kilometers away and it is impossible for him to hear the conversation between Amon Kotaro and Takizawa Masamichi.

He is very busy now.

Due to various reasons, Anding District has been temporarily closed. The lobby that was usually full of people is now empty.

The original fixed number of tables and chairs has also lost several sets due to the attack of Amazon, which looks very strange.

Because they all need to be specially customized, it is estimated that Anding District will not open for quite a while.

However, it is true that if you are lucky enough to walk into Anding District, you can still smell the unique aroma of coffee beans.

It's just that it is much lighter than usual.

"... Many people think that as long as you have good coffee beans, you can make good coffee, but in fact this is a completely new idea..."

Fangcun Gongshan skillfully poured the ground coffee bean powder into the glass pot with folded filter paper on the top.

Then tap the filter cup to firm the bean powder.

"It is undeniable that the quality of coffee beans will affect the final quality of the result, but the degree of roasting and brewing method are also extremely important parts of the whole process."

"Oh~, that is to say, the quality of the coffee itself is important, but the influence of the acquired environment cannot be ignored... Well, if you think about it, it is indeed true."

Lin Qiao, who was sitting on the side, nodded in agreement. He probably understood what the store manager meant.

If the final product is compared to 100 points, then the quality of the coffee beans itself accounts for 59 points.

Although it is very important, if you get the other questions wrong, it will only be an unqualified failure in the end.

"Please continue."

"Another thing is the hardness and temperature of the water. Even if it is the same coffee beans, using water of different hardness will make the coffee beans release very different flavors."

"And the water for brewing coffee cannot be boiled. Too high a water temperature will make the coffee bitter. Generally speaking, it is best to keep it below 96 degrees, and after that, you cannot reuse the boiled water."

Decades of repetition have made the old man in front of him like a precise machine.

Before the water in the kettle boiled completely, he picked it up, pointed the hook-shaped spout at the filter paper that had previously contained coffee bean powder, and then raised his hand slightly.

The still steaming transparent liquid flowed out of the spout and slowly poured onto the coffee powder, drawing a circle on it clockwise with the center of the filter paper as the center of the circle.

The intoxicating aroma filled the air.

"Here, please have it."

After saying that, he returned a cup of hot, freshly brewed coffee to Lin Qiao.

Looking at the seemingly ordinary cup of coffee in front of him, Lin Qiao picked it up, ignoring the water temperature that was still a little hot, and slowly tasted it.

It's just.....

Some subtle feeling.

"How is it?"

"Very good, moderate bitterness, even someone like me who doesn't know much about coffee can give it a high score, but how to say... it's still a little strange,"

Well, let's try it again.

As if wanting to reminisce the feeling just now, Lin Qiao picked it up and sipped the brown liquid inside.

Then his expression became more subtle.

"How should I put it? It's hard not to give it a high evaluation, but it still tastes weird, as if something is missing. And when I was about to think about what was missing, I forgot the feeling just now..."

Recalling the taste on the tip of his tongue, Lin Qiao lowered his head and recalled.

"Missing something... It's really a novel way of saying it. But I can't understand it. Everyone has different tastes. I believe that as long as you keep going, Ishimori, maybe one day you will find a taste that satisfies you."
