Claire nodded after observing Neil's expression, and then she said, "Go take your belongings; we have to leave in a hurry; the sun is already set."
"I don't have anything extra to take; my mobile phone is already in my pocket; as for clothes, I have a small amount of spare money; I will buy new ones later." Neil replied calmly,
"It's good, then let's go."
Claire nodded and then walked toward the exit of the dormitory building.
After walking outside the school, both sat down in an SUV, and then Claire navigated toward the main junction.
'Initiate unlimited simulation,' Neil commanded thoughtfully, and instantly everything around him froze.
Claire statue beside him on the driving seat and the traffic on the road around him, he can feel, including the thoughts of everyone, are frozen; no one is aware of this phenomenon.
…
[Simulation Two]
[After leaving with Claire, you both passed the city junction and navigated on the main road, toward Albert City.]
[After a while, you saw an unknown number on the car display; you noted it down (001*********)]
[Upon watching the caller number, she pulled the car aside and walked out of the car along with her smartphone.]
[You opened the door and walked out of the car; instantly you heard a small sentence that "If you don't give me my share, then you won't get the other half package."]
[Claire noticed you walking out of the SUV; she told you to sit inside; you felt threat, anger, and annoyance in her voice; you nodded and then turned around, opened the door again, and barged in silently.]

…
Neil ended the simulation and glanced at the frozen statue of Claire sitting on the driving seat beside him.
"From now on, I will not believe anyone in the memory I receive; the people in this world are crazy, but encountering someone like me is their bad luck."
Neil muttered speechlessly, and then his expression became wicked and playful.
Neil stretched his arms and then commanded, "Simulate again."
…
[Simulation 2.1]
[After navigating on the main road, you saw an unknown number on the display. Claire parked the SUV and walked out.]
[You glanced around, and then you noticed the glass roof. You opened it and heard the angry voice of Claire as if she were scolding someone on the phone.]
[You heard a sentence, "Why did you call me on my personal phone?" then you heard, "You can't do this," and "We agreed on something else before; how can you change your mind now?" Then you finally heard the final sentence, "If you don't give me my share, then you won't get the other half package."]
[You closed the rooftop, and at the same moment Claire returned to the SUV; she didn't notice the rooftop because there was worry and annoyance on her face.]
[After looking at you deeply, she told you about the change of plan; she wants to take you to your guardian house; you nodded and didn't say anything else.]
[On the way, you didn't talk with her about your guardian; instead, you commented about the phone call; you pointed at her boyfriend.]
[Claire was startled by your comment and then nodded with anger spreading on her face. She cursed her boyfriend, and blurted everything out about him; you analyzed her words and found out her boyfriend is a software engineer named Kale, working in global software solutions.]
[You nodded, keeping all information in your mind; you closed your eyes and acted asleep.]
[Few hours later you reached the guardian house and stayed there for night; the next day you heard about the death of Claire.]

…
Neil ended the simulation with a thoughtful expression on his face.
'Now the primary suspect is her boyfriend Kale; he is the kidnaper and killer. Also, he is using Claire; he told her about the huge reward, and both must have planned to kidnap her sister and me; also, this SUV and her phone may be bugged by him; he knows all her movements; that's why he contacted her on personal phone, probably planning to make her the primary suspect of both deaths later.'
Neil assumed after seeing the result of 2.1 simulation,
"In the next simulation, I should try answering that call instead of Claire," Neil then muttered thoughtfully.
Then he initiated the simulation again,
…
[Simulation 2.2]
[On the main road, you saw the caller number on display; just when Claire stopped the car aside and opened the door in order to walk out, you stroked her neck and pulled her inside the car unconscious.]
[You answered the call and heard a male voice. You judged it as a young man's voice of about 28 to 30 years old. You heard the sentence, "Claire, there is a change in the plan. I just saw enforcement officers outside your house. You can't bring him there. Just bring him directly to my place. Hey, are you listening?"]
[You dismissed the call, and then you realized that everything is the same as you assumed.]
[You opened the map on display and glanced at the pinned locations; two of them are Claire's and Lara's home; the remaining two are named office and Kale House; you noted all these location parameters.]

[Gain: Four Location Parameters]
…
Neil nodded thoughtfully and then glanced at Claire beside him.
"No wonder she was worried; it seems she wasn't anxious about her sister but worried that her partner may betray her."
"She chose to send me to the guardian house because she felt her boyfriend was going to betray her, and her hunch was right; the next day she was found dead in her own house."
Neil muttered thoughtfully, and then his eyes lit up thinking of something.
"Why don't I let them both assassinate me and my guardian and then create another art? I will be free from this task, and I will get that thousand platinum coins; it's a huge amount. I will live with a new identity and start my own business. Although it is extremely hard to accomplish, with unlimited simulation, it won't be a problem for me."
Neil blurted out his thoughts and then glanced at the previous killer smartphone in his storage space.
'I know how to initiate this plan,' Neil thought playfully and then initiated the simulation again.
