Therefore, the father placed all his hopes on his older sister, while remaining completely indifferent to his own child.

Fortunately, her mother was very gentle and treated both her sister and herself with the same love.

However, because she was a full-time housewife, she didn't dare to voice her opinions to her father.

To put it nicely, it's gentleness, but in reality, it's nothing more than cowardice.

Even so, this was a great salvation for Kanzaki Teru.

Moreover, the missing fatherly love was filled by his older sister, who doted on him.

Like any ordinary family, although her relationship with her father was slightly strained, it was still a warm and loving family.

"It's okay, Hui, you have talent too."

To this day, Kanzaki Teru has never forgotten what his sister said.

"But I can't do anything right..."

Under the brilliance of his older sister's genius, Kanzaki Teru never held his head high as a child.

After all, no matter what it is, people around her will always compare her to her older sister.

In this environment, Kanzaki Teru even harbored hatred for his older sister.

However, these feelings remained buried deep within my heart, and most importantly, my sister treated me very well.

It even surpassed the love his mother had given him, so Kanzaki Teru felt more admiration for his sister than hatred.

I long to become that kind of person, and I long to receive recognition from others.

"That's not how it is, Hui! You and I are just a little different."

If you work hard, you too can succeed.

"Hmm... 800... Since you put it that way, sister..."

"Don't worry, I promise you."

This sentence remained deep in Kanzaki Teru's memory: his older sister gave him something different from his mother.

If my mother gave me love, then my sister gave me confidence.

Despite the heartwarming scene, Kanzaki Teru couldn't manage a smile.

Because it was clear what would happen next, and that was the beginning of all the tragedy...

At least fifty bodies were discovered in a pond in Inokashira Park, Mitaka City, Tokyo early this morning, and there are still an estimated hundred bodies in the pond...

That place is where Kanzaki Teru's older sister took a leave of absence from school, and the school just reported this news.

It was confirmed that Kanzaki Suzune's body was among them.

Chapter 303: Tragedy

"Finally... dead..."

However, the moment he saw this news, such a thought popped into Kanzaki Teru's mind, out of control.

Looking at his childhood self, even now, Kanzaki Teru still loathes the version of himself that feels a sense of relief because of his sister's death.

As if to punish Kanzaki Teru for having such thoughts, he then spent a year that could be described as hell.

Because the father had poured all his heart and soul into his older sister, he became depressed after hearing the news of her death.

He drinks every day to escape reality, and when he's drunk, he hits people.

The mother was a weak person to begin with and dared not fight back. The only thing she could do was to bear Kanzaki Hikaru's pain as well.

Even with these memories, Kanzaki Teru still clenched his fists.

A long-dormant anger lingered in his heart, and even memories were something Kanzaki Teru couldn't let go of.

And it is precisely because this is a memory that Kanzaki Teru feels a sense of powerlessness.

He could only watch helplessly as the scars on his mother's body gradually increased, but he could only stand by and watch powerlessly.

However, it is perhaps because of this experience that Kanzaki Teru has grown to his current state.

With strength greater than anyone else's, he was there to protect those he was meant to protect.

The memory abruptly ended there, and he found himself back on that plain.

"What are you trying to do by showing me all this stuff?!"

He struggled to suppress the anger that was about to erupt from him; this could be called Kanzaki Teru's Achilles' heel, sealed away in the deepest part of his memory.

He could fool himself, but he wouldn't allow anyone to fool his mother.

"There's not enough time."

It was still a statement without any context, and Kuro seemed completely unaware of Kanzaki Hikaru's current feelings.

"I don't know what your purpose is! But if you continue to fool me like this, I won't let you do as you please!"

Despite Kanzaki Teru's angry voice, Kuro remained completely unresponsive.

Hey! I'm talking to you!

However, Kuro remained unmoved. Just when Kanzaki Teru could no longer bear it, the scene before him distorted once again.

"Damn it! Trying to escape?!"

Realizing he was about to return to reality, Kanzaki Teru recklessly activated his ability to distort space.

Even Kanzaki Hikaru couldn't control this move, causing the space of four dimensions to collide at the opponent's location.

This creates a small black hole, which then uses its gravity to tear the enemy apart.

Although a black hole can only last for a fleeting moment, the power within that instant is enough to tear everything around it apart.

At such close range, even Hikaru Kanzaki would have had a hard time escaping unscathed.

Therefore, one needs to add an additional layer of ability to isolate the space in front of oneself, just like when one tried to maintain one's balance by activating the ability.

Kanzaki Hikaru's ability did not activate normally, and as his vision distorted, he returned to reality.

"Damn it! Did he escape?!"

Even after returning to reality, the anger in his heart did not diminish in the slightest.

I slowly opened my eyes. Everything around me was still the same, and the plane was still flying steadily in the sky.

With a long sigh, Kanzaki Teru prepared to close his eyes again.

This is a long-haul trip, typically requiring more than thirteen hours of flight time.

At that moment, Kanzaki Teru glanced at the time and realized that only an hour had passed on this trip.

So Kanzaki Teru finally closed his eyes again, hoping to return to the dream world.

This time, I must have a good talk with Xiao Hei. Of course, this time I definitely won't use such gentle methods again.

However, just a few seconds after Kanzaki Hikaru closed his eyes, the plane's announcement system suddenly came on.

"Excuse me, is any of the passengers a detective?"

These aren't lines you'd hear on an airplane high in the sky, but if you really want to categorize it, it could be considered a kind of escape room scenario.

However, Kanzaki Teru still hoped that he had misheard, since he was indeed asleep.

However, the feeling of fatigue (of money) did not disappear at all; in fact, I felt even more tired.

"Among the passengers, is any of you a detective?"

Instead of using the public address system, a flight attendant appeared in everyone's sight and kept asking the surrounding passengers questions.

The flight attendant looked unwell; in fact, she was deathly pale.

Although it may be due to genetics, Kanzaki Teru had seen this flight attendant once when boarding the plane.

So we can rule out that possibility, and she even looks a little weak in the legs when she walks.

Something unexpected must have happened to cause this situation. Although I can't guess exactly what happened, it's definitely not a good thing.

Chapter 304: Hiersta

Now, even if Kanzaki Teru wanted to escape reality, it would be impossible; he could only accept the situation.

Recalling what Kuro had just said, "There's not enough time," Kanzaki Teru understood what he meant.

Even so, Kanzaki Teru had no intention of getting involved.

After all, the other party didn't name him, which means it's very likely that they have nothing to do with him.

No, please do it this way, otherwise my short rest time will be compressed again.

Moreover, at such an altitude of 10,000 meters, it would be somewhat understandable if Kanzaki Teru asked if there were any doctors available.

But how could a detective possibly exist?

However, just as Kanzaki Teru was pondering this, the person next to him made a move.

"Yes! I am the detective."

As if joking, the girl with short, snow-white hair next to him raised her hand, but her expression showed no sign of joking.

"Really...?" 800

The words slipped out unconsciously, and the girl beside him also noticed Kanzaki Hikaru's presence at that moment.

Kanzaki Teru realized he had said the wrong thing and quickly turned his head away, but it was obviously too late.

"The timing is perfect, you... will be my assistant..."

"Please allow me to refuse!"

Before the girl could finish speaking, Kanzaki Teru interrupted her.

Perhaps not expecting Kanzaki Teru to refuse so quickly, the girl's smile turned into confusion.

After all, Kanzaki Teru had no intention of getting involved in this matter, and if he didn't explicitly refuse now, there might be more trouble later.

However, despite being rejected, the girl showed no intention of giving up.

"Well, don't say that. There are many benefits to being my assistant."

"(cdfb) Even if you just make empty promises to me, it won't work. It's just empty talk."
