I really can't control myself.

Chapter 4095 Frightened

Chapter 4095 Frightened

"No, brother, what did I do to offend you..." Takaoka Yūnori said, quite speechless.

He really has no idea what happened. Wasn't he supposed to be doing something for Uncle Linton? How did he end up here?

Yes, that's what Shimizu Ritsu told him. He was doing Linton's job and was asked to come along, so he didn't think much of it and came. He didn't even do any rehearsal before he arrived.

Why was he so careless and lacking in vigilance? Of course, it was because he never imagined that anyone would dare to oppose Linton.

He had met Shimizu Ritsu at the underground base and knew he was Linton's subordinate. Could you imagine that this guy would actually dare to betray Linton?

Even in the current situation, his first thought wasn't that this person had betrayed Linton, but rather that Linton had given orders to deal with him.

Indeed, from Takaoka Yusuke's perspective, Linton could very well have gotten rid of him. After all, he had simulated encounters with Linton many times and knew Linton's favorite phrase: "What use are you?"

It's obvious that his brother, Eizan Etsuya, is working tirelessly for Linton every day. That's what you call being useful.

And what about himself? Sometimes he felt a bit uneasy, after all, he'd been living too comfortably these past few days. Each of his phantom thief operations was, of course, for his own points. So what had he actually done for Linton? It seemed like he hadn't done anything at all, right?

So compared to Eizan Etsuya, who worked himself to the bone, he really seemed useless. But he didn't know what he could do either, and Linton hadn't asked him to do any work.

When Linton asked him to do some work, Takaoka Yuzuru's first reaction was actually quite happy, since he felt less guilty now. He wasn't usually that guilty about drawing a salary from the company for free, since he knew his real boss wasn't his brother, Eizan Etsuya, but Linton. But he was genuinely guilty when Linton didn't ask him for help.

Just as he was thinking that he must do a good job for Linton this time, a bolt from the blue struck. He woke up in this state after everything went black. You can imagine his first thought was that Linton was going to get rid of him, this useless piece of trash.

"Your name is Takaoka Yuzuri, and the system's ability is to foresee the future, right?" Shimizu Ritsu in front of him confirmed this with him.

“Yes.” Takaoka Yūnori nodded directly. Although he had some impression of Shimizu Ritsu, he didn’t even know Shimizu Ritsu’s name.

“Alright, then make a prediction,” Shimizu Ritsu said. “Just… predict exactly when I will die.”

"Huh?" This question clearly startled Takaoka Yūnori.

"I said, is it okay to predict when I will die?" Shimizu Ritsu repeated, but her tone was clearly more annoyed than when she first spoke, which Takaoka Yūnori could obviously tell.

“This… Brother… well, you might not be very clear about my abilities,” Takaoka Yūnori said. “My ability is indeed precognition, but it can only predict events in the near future, at most… within a few days. It’s not the kind of precognition you’re thinking of.”

"I'm just letting you foresee what will happen in the next few days," Shimizu Ritsu said directly.

To be honest, there's no clear answer as to when Linton will discover their situation. According to Shimizu Ritsu's thinking, Linton will probably start wondering why he didn't go back to turn in his mission after dealing with the other system holders.

It's hard to say exactly how many days that will take. If we're unlucky, it could even be today. "Huh?" Takaoka Yūnori stared at Shimizu Ritsu in astonishment again. What's this guy up to? Does he mean he's going to die in the next few days? Did Linton assign him some kind of death mission?

"Just predict it as I ask. Do you want me to lower the voltage here and give you a few shots?" Shimizu Ritsu said directly.

"No! The main problem is... I don't have enough points." Takaoka Yūnori wasn't lying. As he had mentioned before, he only needed 100 points on the first day of the simulation, 200 on the second day, 400 on the third day, and then it would increase exponentially.

Although he has completed many phantom thief performances and accumulated a lot of points these days, if he were to simulate them all at once, there wouldn't actually be many days left to do so.

However, Shimizu Ritsu didn't intend to waste any more words with him, since he had very little time to spare and didn't have time to argue with this guy.

Upon hearing what Takaoka Yūnori said, he immediately started adjusting the machine next to him, as if preparing to start administering electric shocks.

"No, no, no!" Takaoka Yūnori quickly said, "Let's talk this out, I'll do it, but this button..."

“I’ll press the button for you this time, you can make your own predictions,” Shimizu Ritsu said. “But don’t make any predictions while I’m not around, or I’ll really electrocute you.”

"I know, I know." Takaoka Yūnori was a little timid, after all, this wasn't a simulation, and he really didn't dare to do anything reckless.

There was clearly no other way in this situation; he was genuinely intimidated by Shimizu Ritsu's ruthlessness. After all, he was originally a thief, while Shimizu Ritsu was an international mercenary whose interrogation techniques would completely overwhelm a thief like him. Just from the aura alone, Takaoka Yusuke felt he wouldn't dare to resist this man.

Soon, Takaoka Yuzuri entered the simulation. Shimizu Ritsu, seeing that the other party had lost reaction and seemed to have entered a state of blankness, roughly understood that the other party had begun to foresee the future.

Although Shimizu Ritsu had heard about his abilities from him before, this was the first time he had seen them in person. However, seeing that the other party had stopped reacting, he guessed that they had probably started working.

After the test, the other party seemed quite timid and should be quite obedient. This kind of guy is relatively easy to deal with.

He glanced at his watch and started timing; ten minutes passed quickly. Takaoka Yūnori, who hadn't moved an inch in his iron chair, suddenly flinched, his expression one of utter panic.

"What did you see?" Shimizu Ritsu thought that the other party's ability to foresee the future must be due to seeing fragments of the future, so she asked this question.

"You... what exactly did you do? Why did you dare... why did you dare... why are you so bold?" Takaoka Yūnori stared at Shimizu Ritsu in astonishment, because he now truly knew what Shimizu Ritsu had done.

Knowing this, Takaoka Yūnori was extremely surprised. "No, how dare you? Brother, what kind of death are you trying to commit? Do you have no desire to live?"

Seeing Takaoka Yūnori's reaction, Shimizu Ritsu knew that the other party probably understood what was going on. He asked directly, "Just how many days do I have left to live?"
