Firefly Journey

"He probably won't show himself easily."

Wind Chime's idea is good, but the problem is that since the murderer has set a "time bomb," it is obvious that he will not show himself, and it will not be easy to lure him out.

"I know, it depends on what method you use."

"You mean?" Cassius immediately understood Wind Chime's thoughts, "His purpose is nothing more than killing an ordinary person for those things in the Divine Ruins, hoping to make us focus on that and then ignore him."

Instead of wandering around aimlessly, it's better to let the Divine Ruins open on time. Then, the culprit will naturally slip up. Heh, what a blatant attempt to cover up their crime!

Fengling said, "We'll be extra careful once we're inside, and we'll be able to handle any situations that arise."

“Hmm.” Cassius seemed quite confident in the wind chimes.

Lin Yuanran overheard the operation to capture the murderer and felt that he had overheard a big secret. He said, "Tell me, aren't you afraid that I'll leak the news?"

Cassius and Wind Chime exchanged a glance, then both looked at him as if he were an idiot.

“If all the bad people in the world were like you, then the world would be at peace,” Wind Chime said coldly.

Cassius couldn't help but laugh: "Trust those you employ, and don't employ those you don't trust. Do you think I wouldn't have assessed you before giving you this extraordinary 'profession'? To put it bluntly, I've seen right through you."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuanran touched his nose and said somewhat argumentatively, "Really? Then what color are my underwear?"

"blue."

"??"

Lin Yuanran glanced meaningfully at the teacher who had led him into the realm of the extraordinary, and suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

The wind chime said, "There are also yellow and red ones. You can't possibly hang them out to dry indoors."

"Okay, I just couldn't think of it right now." Lin Yuanran realized he had been being petty. Mr. Cassius was such an upright person, he certainly wouldn't be a pervert.

Speaking of which, why would a wind chime pay attention to these things? Well, we see each other all the time, so it's normal.

By the way, I don't think I've ever seen her hang up clothes to dry. What color are they?

"I have a request," Lin Yuanran said.

"can."

"Huh?" Lin Yuanran hadn't expected Mr. Cassius to act so unpredictably. He hadn't even said what it was, and he'd already agreed? Could he possibly have precognition or mind-reading abilities...?

Extraordinary abilities through a certain path?

“My students are not flowers in a greenhouse; they should go out and brave the wind and waves.”

"Thank you, teacher," Lin Yuanran said dreamily, following suit. Cassius didn't hesitate to show his appreciation, so calling him "teacher" was the most appropriate way to reciprocate.

Having a teacher who has five "professions" all of which are three-dimensional is a sure-fire way to make money.

Cassius said, "When the Divine Ruins open, you and Fengling will enter together. Take whatever you like without feeling guilty. Compared to previous missions, this one is relatively safe. No one will dare to offend anyone under the noses of the Duchy and the Holy See."

The only thing to be careful of is the murderer who has infiltrated the tomb raiders; their strength is unknown, so be extra cautious. Stay close to Fengling and the others, and don't get separated; there shouldn't be any major problems.

I will be watching you from outside, ready to provide timely support should any situation arise.

Lin Yuanran suddenly felt confident: "I will try my best not to hold anyone back."

Wind Chime scoffed at his excitement: "You should be thinking about how to make enough money for St. Louis tickets."

"Do you think there might be a lot of treasure in the ancient god's ruins, the kind that's packed in boxes?"

“Even if you had it, you wouldn’t get it.” Wind Chime said bluntly.

Cassius narrowed his eyes slightly: "Maybe there really is." Then he changed the subject, "The Divine Ruins are within the territory of the Duchy, so they are the wealth of the Duchy. It's already generous of us to allow you to take a few extraordinary items. Don't even think about trying to take advantage of it."

Lin Yuanran gave an awkward smile: "I understand." But in his heart, he was thinking about whether he could get some valuable items with him. If he sold them, they should be worth a lot of money.

After the conversation ended, Lin Yuanran decided to visit Du Pipeng, while Fengling went home alone.

Cassius flashed and appeared three streets away.

“Someone has died,” he said to the sword-wielding man under the eaves.

"None of my business."

Orlando sounded impatient because he had disturbed his rest.

"When you beat those people into submission before, did you encounter any particularly strange professions? Like the Grim Reaper path, or niche paths?"

What if I don't answer?

"Cooperating with the investigation is the duty of every law-abiding citizen, even if you are not a citizen of the principality. But when in Rome, do as the Romans do. If you are here, you must accept the rules here. Otherwise, you can only be treated as a criminal."

Orlando paused for a few seconds, then said, "I understand."

"Thank you for your cooperation." Cassius's voice remained gentle.

"No."

"alright."

Cassius didn't want to delve into the truth or falsehood of the words. Of the three and a half swordsmen, Orlando had the most direct personality, and questioning him was pointless.

He continued, "I have a request, but there is no reward. I hope you can grant it."

Orlando raised an eyebrow: "Tell me about it."

"I didn't stop you from entering the Klenbo Ruins, so you owe me a favor. I suspect the murderer is an outsider who will eventually enter the Divine Ruins."

I have confidence in my students, but I cannot guarantee their safety 100%. To be on the safe side, I would like to ask you to look after them. Also, if you discover who the murderer is, please do not hesitate to draw your sword against him.

Orlando's cold expression softened slightly, and he tentatively asked, "What if I don't want to repay this favor?"

"Then you may have to break your promise to your employer."

After speaking, Cassius Bello adjusted his monocle, unleashing several elemental powers. Despite his refined demeanor, his aura at this moment was more terrifying than that of an officer who had guarded the frontier for many years.

"I promise you." Orlando may be cold and aloof, but he's perfectly intelligent and wouldn't do something as futile as an ant trying to shake a tree.

"Thank you, God of War. May your journey be successful."

Orlando responded to Cassius's blessing by striking his right fist with his left palm: "I will keep my promise, in the name of my Lord Telaragra."

……

Curry Ward and his officers took Dustin Pippen to a local hospital for temporary care—he couldn't be buried until the situation was clear, in case a second examination was needed.

Lin Yuanran went to Sandra and her son's house to offer his condolences and found that many others shared the same sentiment; people are always kind.

"Are you... alright?" To be honest, Lin Yuanran and Du Pipeng had a very ordinary relationship, and Du Pipeng didn't even have a good impression of him because of Wendy.

"I'm fine, Ario, I'm really fine." Dupippen was somewhat moved, and a sense of guilt welled up in his heart.

"You're still fine..." Lin Yuanran muttered to himself, "You should get rid of those red eyes first!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Cassius, who is in charge of the investigation, is a very powerful superhuman. I believe he will find the murderer who killed your uncle soon."

Well, while comforting the classmate, I also wanted to establish a positive image of the teacher.

On the self-cultivation of a sycophantic student.
