Dallas TV Station.

"Was this a murder?"

"The police are investigating."

"There were a large number of indecent pictures in the victim's home. Can it be confirmed that he was a pedophile?"

"The victim was a photographer. As for whether he was a pedophile, that can only be determined after further investigation."

"There are rumors that this was revenge? Quite a few of the indecent pictures in the victim's home featured missing girls, such as Donna Moore?"

"It is still impossible to determine whether the victim committed suicide or was murdered. However, yes, there were indeed indecent pictures of missing girls such as Donna in his home. The police are investigating the victim's relationship with these missing girls."

"..."

Ever since Juno had begun acting mysteriously, Adam had developed the habit of checking news from all over every day. Not long ago, he had finally caught a familiar scent in a news report from the Dallas TV station in the neighboring city.

He immediately went to an internet café to look up more information. As expected, the keyboard warriors had already mobilized.

The deceased was named Jeff, thirty years old, single, and a photographer with some reputation in the industry. The first person to call the police had been his first-love ex-girlfriend, Gilell.

"I heard this guy was a pedophile. Good riddance to that scum!"

"Don't say that. Hasn't it not been officially determined yet?"

"What else needs to be determined? Are those photos fake?"

"He was a photographer, and an artist too. Though taking those pictures was bad, it doesn't necessarily make him a criminal. And even if he was a criminal, only the law could judge him..."

"Bullshit! To hell with artists! Would you dare tell a child protection agency that photographers and artists can take those kinds of pictures?"

"Of course he wouldn't. Just look at his username—Teacher Photography Edison? Maybe he's a perverted pedophile just like the dead guy."

"Reported."

"Shocking! The Mysterious Girl can't be messed with!"

"The Mysterious Girl?"

"My seventh aunt's eighth aunt's younger brother-in-law's father-in-law works at the local police station. I heard that when they questioned the neighbors, one neighbor said she had seen a girl who was supposedly the victim's niece show up at the time, and there had been noises coming from the house.

The neighbor had always suspected the victim because he liked little girls, so she took the initiative to go over and check. She met the girl.

Not long after, the victim's ex-girlfriend came by. The victim jumped down from upstairs and, before dying, was practically face-to-face with his ex-girlfriend. His expression was extremely twisted and agonized, tears ran from the corners of his eyes, and he died with his eyes wide open.

After investigating, the police confirmed there had been signs of binding and fighting, but they found no fingerprints or clues whatsoever. Clearly, the Mysterious Girl was very experienced.

Also, the victim had jumped from the roof himself and died by hanging and suffocation. The rope length had been precisely calculated, ensuring that his heels could not touch the ground while also keeping him as close to the ground as possible. If the victim's ex-girlfriend hadn't been scared stupid at the time and had reached out to lift him up, perhaps he wouldn't have died."

"Isn't that way too unprofessional? If the victim's ex-girlfriend had really saved him, wouldn't the girl have been exposed?"

"What do you know? Was the suspect afraid of being exposed? If that neighbor wasn't lying, the suspect was just a little girl. What kind of punishment do you think she would receive? At most, she'd spend a few years in juvenile detention, and she could even hire a lawyer to argue that the victim had lured her there, harmed her, and that she had acted in self-defense."

"But she thoroughly cleaned up even the fingerprints and everything? Doesn't that count as premeditation?"

"That would depend on whether the jury chose to believe the girl or a pedophile."

"But why did she calculate the rope's length? Wouldn't it have been better to play it safe?"

"That's the interesting part. According to the police profiler's analysis, the suspect may have wanted to torture the victim to the greatest extent possible.

The victim's first-love ex-girlfriend was very important to him. The reason the suspect took the risk of exposing herself by calling her over was to display the victim's disgusting side before the person he least wanted to show it to."

"Gasp, I get it. She precisely calculated the rope length so the victim and the arriving ex-girlfriend would be face-to-face, making him stare into her eyes and killing him psychologically before he died physically."

"Damn! You're saying the victim jumped himself. Could the Mysterious Girl have threatened him into jumping by saying she would expose his ugly pedophile face to his first-love ex-girlfriend? Then, after jumping, he realized the Mysterious Girl might have tricked him, which was why he burst into tears and died with his eyes open?"

"Your speculation is very interesting!"

"That can't be possible, right? It can't be that terrifying, can it?"

"It really was that terrifying! After the autopsy, the police discovered signs of torture on the victim's lower body. Based on the results of the crime scene cleanup, the psychological profiler concluded that the suspect may very well have created the illusion that she made the victim practice the Sunflower Manual, using it to brutally torment him psychologically."

"..."

"Is this the real-life Punisher?"

"No. If you calculated the area of the victim's psychological trauma before his death, she was definitely more ruthless than the Punisher!"

"Though I probably shouldn't say this, I really don't want the Mysterious Girl to be caught."

"Yeah."

"Don't worry. Given her age and identity, along with the fact that she didn't personally kill him, even if she's caught, the punishment will be very light. More likely, she'll be found not guilty and released."

"Heh, you think the police can really catch her? Don't be stupid! Those godlike detective stories on TV are all lies. In reality, countless cases become cold cases, and the clearance rate for high-IQ crimes like the Mysterious Girl's is horrifically low.

Besides, you sympathize with and understand the Mysterious Girl. Wouldn't others feel the same? Look at the suspect sketch the police made based on the victim's neighbor's description. It's way too careless, isn't it? She just has a completely ordinary face.

And besides, the dead man was a pedophile, and this indirectly solved the cases of those missing girls. The police should be thanking the Mysterious Girl. Why would they be willing to invest so much manpower and resources into tracking her down?"

"If this is true, it should be made into a movie so those pedophiles can see it. If it doesn't make their crotches go cold, I'll admit defeat!"

Adam looked at those comments, then at the suspect sketch released by the police. It did not resemble Juno at all, and he unconsciously let out a breath of relief.

It seemed his daily 0.005 Wisdom Points had been saved. But when he thought of the keyboard warriors' analysis, Adam still felt a little frightened.

He had seen the movie Fruit Hard Candy. More than those keyboard warriors who were merely guessing, he understood just how miserably Juno had tortured that pedophile photographer. The area of his psychological trauma was practically infinite.

The pedophile photographer had thought he was a sinister Big Bad Wolf, while Hailey, whom Juno had become, was an innocent Little Red Riding Hood. But who could have imagined that she was a Bloodthirsty Little Red Riding Hood, who turned around and tortured this Big Bad Wolf to death?

Watching Juno, who had done something so momentous without showing the slightest hint of anything unusual and was still playing with them, smiling like a flower, Adam could only say: she was not someone to mess with.
