Life was relatively peaceful for the next period.
After school, Baishi Hui accompanied Ran during her training.
Occasionally, Sonoko would drag him to play tennis with the club.
But most of his attention was focused on the system's task.
[Task: Obtain 1 billion yen in ill-gotten gains. Current progress: 0]
Baishi Hui had already figured out how to complete this task.
Masami Hirota!
In the anime, she would plan a bank robbery and obtain 1 billion yen.
At that time, he just needed to intercept this money from her.
Wouldn't the task be perfectly completed then?
Originally, Baishi Hui wanted to investigate himself, but the bank's working hours seriously overlapped with his class schedule.
By the time he finished school, the bank was already closed.
Having no other choice, he had to entrust a Detective to help him find the person.
With the two key clues, "Masami Hirota" and "bank employee," finding the other party wasn't difficult.
But the problem Baishi Hui encountered now was not knowing when Masami Hirota would make her move.
This inevitably made him a little nervous.
After glancing at the dense array of skills in his personal panel, he couldn't help but sigh, "After a person becomes strong, they can't help but want to do something... It seems I was ultimately influenced by the system."
Baishi Hui originally thought he could resist the sugar-coated bullets of the Azu the Bandit system.
Eat the sugar coating, then throw the bullet back.
But reality told him it wasn't that simple.
After gaining ability, how could one endure loneliness?
It's like when someone becomes rich, can they really maintain the same spending habits as before?
Especially when he also knew the development of the anime plot.
If he didn't do anything, his thoughts wouldn't be clear.
Before he transmigrated, the anime plot developed like this.
After he transmigrated, the anime plot still developed like this.
Wouldn't his transmigration have been in vain then?
Thinking of this, Baishi Hui flexibly adjusted his principles.
Eleven o'clock at night.
"Phew... Be careful on your way." After parting ways with her colleague at the entrance of the izakaya, Masami Hirota walked towards her rental apartment.
The cool evening breeze sobered her up a bit from her drunkenness.
She quietly sighed.
She hadn't managed to extract any useful information tonight either.
If things continued like this, when would she ever be able to rob a bank?
How long would it take to gather that 1 billion yen?
Carrying a body full of fatigue and confusion, Masami Hirota walked for over twenty minutes and returned to her rental apartment.
She changed her shoes and entered the living room.
Masami Hirota didn't even turn on the light, she just flopped onto the sofa and began to zone out.
Work was already exhausting, and she also had to rack her brains to inquire about armored car information, not to mention dealing with various harassments from colleagues.
"Maybe I should give up?" Masami Hirota murmured softly, a thought of retreating forming in her heart.
"After all, I'm just an ordinary person."
"Before this, I was still a law-abiding, good citizen."
"Suddenly asking me to get 1 billion yen, this is really too difficult for me."
"Ah... they are indeed making things difficult for me, they don't want me and my sister to leave at all."
As she spoke, Masami Hirota continued to sigh and lament, feeling utterly dejected.
Just at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in the living room: "You think it's difficult because you chose the wrong path!"
"Besides robbing a bank, what other way is there for me to get 1 billion yen in a short time?" Masami Hirota said helplessly, "I'm just an ordinary person, not as smart as my sister."
"Bank security is very strong, of course it's not easy to rob! Change your thinking, go rob those gangsters and criminals, wouldn't that be much easier?" The voice said again.
Masami Hirota said irritably, "Me robbing them? That's practically me going to my death!"
Just as she was about to say something more, she suddenly felt something was wrong.
Wait, I live alone... Who am I talking to?
Oh, I'm finished.
I've been working so much I'm developing schizophrenia.
Just as Masami Hirota was suspecting there was something wrong with her mental state, the voice sounded again: "It's okay, I can help you. I'm very good at dealing with criminals!"
This time, she reacted.
It wasn't that something was wrong with her mind, but that there was a second person in the living room.
Masami Hirota quickly sat up from the sofa. She looked around the dark surroundings and asked nervously, "Who are you?"
A sigh came from the darkness, mixed with a hint of helplessness, saying, "Stop looking, I'm sitting right next to you. Your night vision isn't good... Go turn on the light."
Masami Hirota hesitated for a moment, but then thought that if the other party really wanted to do something to her, they would have already acted directly just now. Why would they bother talking to her?
So, she mustered her courage, got up, and went to turn on the living room light.
Click.
As the light turned on, Masami Hirota saw a man wearing a red mask that covered half his face sitting on the sofa, holding an MP9 submachine gun in his hand.
At this moment, her hanging heart completely died.
She didn't have a single thought of resisting.
"Excuse me... who are you?" Masami Hirota asked cautiously.
"Just call me Azu," Baishi Hui replied, then pointed to the spot next to him and said, "Have a seat."
"I... I can just stand," Masami Hirota showed a professional smile and waved her hand, refusing.
She asked uneasily, "Azu-sensei, what do you need me for?"
Baishi Hui asked, "I said I'm here to help you, do you believe me?"
"..." Masami Hirota hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
Alright, it was clear at a glance that she didn't believe him but was afraid, so she chose to nod perfunctorily.
Baishi Hui saw through Masami Hirota's thoughts at a glance.
However, he could also understand this.
If he came home one day and saw a person wearing a mask and holding a gun saying they were there to help him, he probably wouldn't believe it either.
Baishi Hui felt helpless about this.
If he didn't do this, he would have to expend a lot of effort to persuade Masami Hirota to trust him.
But the problem was, he had no reason or connection with her whatsoever.
Would Masami Hirota believe him?
No normal person would believe him, right?
It would be better to help the other party in another way.
As the old saying goes, just do good deeds, don't ask about the future.
As long as he could help someone, there was no need to quibble about the method.
