Chapter 14 Single

【Item Name: X-ray Glasses】

[Description: A supernatural tool used to find evil, enabling the user's vision to penetrate the surface of things and directly discover wrongdoing and evidence.]

Lin Xiuyi observed the ordinary-looking glasses in his hand and thought to himself that their function was perfectly combined with the purpose of this mobile phone.

Although it wasn't quite what he had imagined, since these glasses could help him complete the commission, it was actually better for him.

Just now, he spent a long time browsing the app store after completing the 100 points he received from the previous commission, and finally redeemed an app called "Encyclopedia of Punishment Items" for 20 points.

After the "Encyclopedia of Punishment Items" was installed, Lin Xiuyi discovered that it was actually an instruction manual introducing the advanced functions of the app and the items obtained from completing tasks, similar to the official strategy manual usually included with old games, or the user manual for electrical appliances.

That's right, the ridiculous thing he had in his hand even required paying to unlock the user manual.

Points don't count as money?

Then I have to mention one more thing—in the app store, 1 point can be exchanged for 1 yen.

Lin Xiuyi scanned the various redeemable items in the app store with considerable annoyance. There were prices ranging from 1 to 1000 points, and even some items marked "unknown" with blank names, descriptions, and prices, just occupying a single space. They were probably something extraordinary, and the cost would only be higher.

For the first time, he was troubled by not having enough money for expenses other than food and drink, and for the first time, he suffered from decision paralysis.

After browsing through the app store, he found that many of the items were useful to him.

Basic functions, such as "phone" and "LINE" which can be redeemed with 1 point, are essential features that any normal mobile phone has. Fortunately, the redemption cost is not expensive, saving him the trouble of buying a new phone.

Enhancement apps, such as "Physical Fitness Center" and "Super Brain," allow users to strengthen their bodies after installation. The former enhances physical abilities, with effects similar to the previously obtained "Physical Fitness Enhancement Lv1." The latter, however, focuses on developing mental capabilities, not simply improving intelligence, but unlocking the brain's full potential. While the descriptions suggest they are on the same level, the former costs 100 points, while the latter requires 500—a five-fold difference.

Advanced applications include "Treasure Box" and "Lucky Draw," one similar to an online shopping platform where you can order all sorts of strange and unusual items; the other involves spending a fixed amount of points to participate in a lottery and win prizes based on probability.

There was something even more peculiar that Lin Xiuyi couldn't quite grasp—an app called "TRYHARD" that could be redeemed without spending points. According to the encyclopedia, it was software that enhanced a user's strength in the short term by rapidly consuming points, and it even specifically stated that "once installed, this software cannot be uninstalled." Such a bizarre description reminded Lin Xiuyi of the famous saying—"Free things are the most expensive."

Lin Xiuyi pondered for a moment, then spent 3 points to install "Phone", "LINE" and "Browser". He saved the remaining 77 points and would use them after completing the next commission and receiving new points.

Now, this phone is finally starting to look decent.

However, besides Isshiki Kin, he didn't have many other people to contact, so he only added her phone number and added her as a LINE friend. Since Isshiki Kin was right next to him, there was no need to contact her online; he simply saved a cute cat emoji she sent him.

But Lin Xiuyi had hardly ever been online since he was a child, so he couldn't help but click on the "browser" out of curiosity.

The default pop-up interface is a search engine called "Single".

"single?"

Lin Xiuyi had never heard of this search engine before.

However, he didn't know much about the internet, so he didn't care. Instead, he entered the name "Isshiki Kin" to try and find information about this celebrity.

The search keywords are not in the data.

As expected, searching for Isshiki Kin's real name yielded no results, which didn't surprise him. He then typed in "Asashiro Ruri" and clicked the search button.

【…】

The search keywords are not in the data.

Still no results found.

Lin Xiuyi was puzzled. He tried entering keywords such as "weather," "Tokyo," "rice price," "bear disaster," and even his own name, but still couldn't find anything.

"Oh no, is it going to be unusable and just waste my 1 point?"

Lin Xiuyi felt a pang of heartache, thinking she had been tricked. She was about to close the browser when a sudden inspiration struck her, reminding her of what had happened that morning.

With a "let's give it another try" attitude, he entered Principal Cougao's name.

【…】

The following is the information returned when searching for "Yokata Daiji":

[A disgrace to a prestigious university! Minato High School President Daiji Yokota implicated in massive university endowment corruption scandal]

[#Education Bureau, please answer#]

[Educator or Plunderer? Unveiling how Daichi Yokota turned schools and parents into his personal ATM]

[#Our principal is a beast#]

[The Silent Victim: Daichi Yokota Exposed for Forcibly Occupying a Female Teacher, Sexual Coercion Scandal Fully Exposed]

【#Yokota Daiharu Married Woman#】

[#Yokata's inner circle#]

……

Lin Xiuyi looked at the string of information she found, her mind in turmoil.

The information displayed consists of news articles criticizing Principal Daiji Yokota, which ruthlessly expose the crimes committed by Yokota.

He clicked on each one and found that these news articles were not clickbait, but genuinely told from a media perspective about the various misdeeds committed by Principal Yokota.

This naturally included the incident of "Yokata forcibly taking a female teacher" that he witnessed this morning. However, at that time, Lin Xiuyi's observations were limited, and he could not judge the actual situation. But this news article, through its assertive statements, confirmed the facts of "coercion" and "forcible taking".

However, the news report asserted the facts but failed to provide details of the events or complete evidence.

Furthermore, these news stories do not exist in reality. Otherwise, Yokota Daichi would have already been infamous, and the news would have spread among the students. Even if Hayashi Hideichi was very closed off, he would still know what kind of reputation his principal had.

So, are all these news reports false?

That's not true either.

Lin Xiu looked back at the name of the search engine.

The true meaning of "Single" is probably "crime search engine," which is different from a normal search engine. It can only find crime, not other content.

This means that what can be found in this search are crimes committed by certain individuals.

And those individuals are the real evils identified by the mobile phone.

These crimes may go unnoticed, but they absolutely exist and await punishment.
