Sorry, I Never Use Evidence When Solving Cases

To be honest, seeing Tong's crazy outburst actually made Bai Zhi feel relieved.

The other party had been too calm before; despite having so much resentment and pain in their heart, their face remained as still as a stagnant pool.

If she doesn't find a way to vent all that, it won't be long before she's driven completely insane...

Looking at the Girl standing by the water tap, Bai Zhi suddenly thought of something.

This time, it was because of his intervention that the other party was able to take revenge, but what about in the original Timeline?

Although the other party was very good at concealing herself, she was just a little Girl without any Supernatural Power, and due to long-term malnutrition, her body was actually quite thin.

With such weak strength, forget about revenge, they'd probably have a hard time even escaping from that Underground Prison.

The reason the other party was able to escape from there and happen to pick up that book was most likely because of the terrifying catastrophe that would sweep through the town tomorrow... but that's not the key issue.

Having escaped from that Hell on Earth on earth, burdened with countless resentments and pain, perhaps even driven mad... what wish would they make upon that book?

--Whatever it may be, it certainly won't be the kind of wish for world peace that I had Instant imagined.

"I killed my best friend with my own hands before."

She sat down on the stairs, and it seemed as if she was talking to him, or perhaps talking to herself.

"In her pleading gaze, I slit her throat with a shard of glass, then sat and watched her die."

That's not your fault.

Shaking his head slightly, Bai Zhi, too lazy to continue chasing after the henchmen, sat down next to them.

"We've depended on each other since we were little, scavenging for food in Garbage Heap every day, struggling to survive in this awful world."

As if she hadn't heard him speak, Tong continued.

"She loved to laugh and always tried to make me happy, because she said we should be happy while we're alive. She was also very capable; every time, she was the one who drove away those who coveted our place, even if she was always badly injured. I always felt that there was nothing in this world she couldn't do."

At this point, Tong suddenly laughed.

"She told me that as long as there is life, there is hope, and we should never give up hope. I never believed in hope before, but she made me believe. But after I finally saw her again..."

The Girl was still smiling, but tears were streaming down her face uncontrollably.

"... She begged me to kill her and to hurry up and commit suicide. She said there was no hope in this world, that everything in this world is suffering, that she could no longer protect me, and that dying sooner was the greatest happiness..."

"..."

Bai Zhi sat quietly to the side the whole time, listening without saying a word.

At this moment, all the other party needs is a listener.

"... So in the end, I killed her."

The Girl smiled broadly, but tears streamed down her face, soaking the ground.

"Why? We've never done anything wrong, we just scavenge for scraps and eat things in the Garbage Heap... Is kindness a sin?"

The Girl suddenly turned her head and looked at him.

"Can you tell me why things turned out this way?"

The Girl still had a smile on her face, but her expression clearly showed that she was crying.

"The guilty ones are not you, but those scum who use the banner of the strong to oppress the weak."

After staring at her for a while, Bai Zhi suddenly reached out and pulled the Girl into his arms, comforting her.

"Hope exists; as long as you live, there is hope, and I am the hope you are waiting for. So..."

"This is the choice you've made!?"

A sudden voice interrupted Bai Zhi's words.

Having finally received the intelligence, he rushed back from outside. Looking at the bloody scenes around him, the Hyena's face turned extremely ferocious.

"Do you even understand? What an incredibly stupid choice you've made!? What good will doing this do you!?"

By the end, the Hyena was practically roaring.

Their base has become what it is today because of him, and he himself cannot escape blame.

"Killing is forbidden in town! You're making an enemy of all of us!! Why are you doing this!?"

"It's very simple, because you are guilty."

Bai Zhi glanced at the Girl in his arms, who seemed to have fallen asleep, and then stood up, still holding her.

"Evil must be punished, and crimes must be investigated; that's all."

"We are innocent! There is absolutely no evidence to prove we are guilty!!"

With bloodshot eyes, the Hyena's face looked extremely ferocious.

"Those people in the Underground Prison are the truly guilty ones!!"

"Is there evidence required for guilt?"

[Radiance] slipped silently into his palm, and Bai Zhi spoke calmly.

"I'm really sorry, but I never rely on evidence when handling cases."

After releasing all the surviving people from the Underground Prison, Bai Zhi set everything ablaze.

In the Apocalypse, there are no laws; the strong rule.

Holding Tong, who seemed to have fallen asleep, in his arms, Bai Zhi returned to his small house.

As darkness fell, the fire at the Wolf Gang's location Ignite the Hei Ye. Some people ran over to join the commotion, hoping to find something of value. So, no one paid any attention to the two inconspicuous individuals.

After placing Tong on the bed and covering her with a blanket, Bai Zhi locked the doors and windows and sat down again in the seat by the window.

After one round, he returned to the starting point.

"Tomorrow will be the day this town is destroyed..."

Slightly narrowing his eyes, Bai Zhi turned his head to look out the window.

The night was illuminated by the fire, turning the horizon a fiery red, making it difficult to discern anything for the time being.

But if tomorrow is the end of this town, then he must prepare now.

To this day, he still hasn't figured out what their goal is in this single-player Dungeon. Not only has the book itself not provided any hints, but the system itself hasn't given any clues either; they have to figure it all out on their own.

However, no matter what, ensuring survival is the most important thing.

What will happen tomorrow...?
