Fall in love with an NPC

This is not the first time Secret.A has asked him this question, and Qu Tong knows very well that it probably won't be the last time either.

He has gone from being confused for the first time, to being nervous for the second time, and now "accustomed to it".

Qu Tong didn't speak, Secret.A is a smart person, and he immediately understood that he might not get the answer to the previous question, "Okay, then can you tell me why you want to get the seeds of the sacrificial golden tree? It's so urgent."

Qu Tong lowered his head and pondered. In fact, it's okay to tell him this, but it needs to tell half the truth and half the lie.

"This is my mission. I can't tell you where I come from, nor can I tell you why I do certain things, but you can know that those are the things I have to do, and they are my mission."

Seeing Secret.A looking at him, Qu Tong quickly waved his hands to explain: "But I won't hurt anyone!"

Secret.A obviously wasn't worried about this, sighed slightly, and said, "I know, if you don't want to say it, don't say it."

Qu Tong could hear the loneliness in his voice, and didn't know what to say, so he corrected him in a low voice: "It's not that I don't want to say it...it's just that I can't say it."

Secret.A nodded and did not speak again.

Qu Tong faced him, and tried to twitch the corners of his mouth: "When one day I can tell you all these things, I will definitely tell you all of them."

"Okay, I'll wait for you to tell me." He finally felt less guilty when he heard Secret. Yes, I'll be the first to know."

"Okay." Qu Tong promised him solemnly. In order to make his words more believable, he looked into Secret.A's eyes and agreed.

Although Ji Wei's identity is unknown, it is not impossible to find out, so soon, Boswell and the high-level people all knew that the corpse lying in the laboratory with no signs of corruption was the one from Shuiting Forest. The owner Ji Wei.

"It's strange, he won't be corrupt, but he doesn't have any signs of life. We can be [-]% sure that he is dead, but we can't find out the reason why his body is not corrupt."

"Useless stuff!" Boswell was rarely angry. Qu Tong saw that he was always dressed like a beast and smiled most of the time. This time he heard him yelling at the people in the laboratory, and knew that he was out of breath. Involuntarily looked up at him.

Boswell loosened the tie around his neck, seeming to relieve a little impatience, "Continue to investigate, I want to know the cause of his death, and why his body doesn't rot, if you can't find out for a week, you all go down to accompany him He's fine."

The people in the laboratory were trembling, their bodies were shaking like a sieve, and they wanted to say something, but they dared not say it. They felt that it would be impossible to finish it in a week, but if they said it now, they probably wouldn’t have to wait until a week later. I believe Boswell will let them Immediately go to accompany Ji Wei, after much deliberation, I can only agree timidly.

Wait until everyone in the lab leaves.

"Qu Tong."

"Yes."

Suddenly hearing Boswell calling his name, Qu Tong was taken aback and didn't dare to show it, so he hurried forward. Fortunately, Boswell at this time was not as scary as before.

"Go and investigate the cause of Ji Wei's death. With those ineffective old guys, you will definitely not find any clues." Boswell said of the people in the laboratory, with obvious contempt in his tone.

"Okay." Qu Tong respectfully agreed.

"Hurry up, you can find someone to cooperate with you, anyone can." Boswell is very persistent about this matter, and Qu Tong is not sure why he is so anxious all of a sudden, obviously before he found out about Ji Wei, he didn't have any big problems Mood change, could it be that he discovered some secret during this time?

"Okay." Qu Tong replied.

Boswell waved at him, letting him go.

When Qu Tong went out, he saw Qin Rui walking towards him. It was nothing at all. When Qin Rui saw him, there was disgust in his eyes that could not be hidden. Qu Tong didn't care about him as much as he did. Pass him by.

Untimely, Qu Tong suddenly felt that Boswell is now a small animal that needs others to smooth his hair, lost his temper, and his friend happened to come over to help him smooth his hair, and then do the Great Harmony of Life Movement or something.

Happy to hear it.

Qu Tong shrugged, none of this had anything to do with him.

"System, what's the trust value now?" He didn't completely relax until he returned to his room.

[50.00% Oh, honorable players. ]

More than expected, in fact, the face-scanning and task-scanning plan worked well, at least, it rose much faster than before.

Because Boswell wants to know about Ji Wei as soon as possible, he gave him a privilege, saying that he can find someone to cooperate with, and he can find anyone. Probably Boswell ignored a person at the moment he said it, or it may have been I didn't take it to heart at all.

Of course, Qu Tong couldn't let go of the opportunity to work with that person. With him, this matter could be investigated in the shortest possible time, and at least many detours would be avoided.

So Qu Tong immediately went to Secret.A and explained the situation to Secret.A. Secret.A didn't say that he was willing to investigate with him, nor did he say that he didn't want to. He asked an irrelevant question.

"Boswell is angry? And lost his temper?"

"Hmm." Although he didn't know why Secret.A asked this first, he had nothing to hide: "The people in the laboratory were scared to death. They didn't want to agree, and they were afraid of angering Boswell. Agree, but they did it themselves." not."

"Why do you think Boswell is angry?" Secret.A took a small watering can to water the plants on his windowsill.

"I think?" Qu Tong thought for a while, and then said his thoughts: "I think he suddenly heard something recently, knew something, related to Ji Wei, and then suddenly became interested in knowing Ji Wei It seems a bit urgent, so it is quite different from usual, and I don't hesitate to lose my temper with the people in the laboratory."

Secret.A put down the small watering can, and the corner of his mouth twitched: "He lost his temper because the people in the laboratory are really incompetent, but what you said is also reasonable."

Qu Tong seemed to understand, and saw that he seemed to want to stay out of the matter, and was a little anxious.

"Hey, do you want to check it with me?" He always felt that without Secret.A he couldn't complete this matter.

"If you want me to be with you, then let's go together." Secret.A glanced at him indifferently.

"Yeah!" Qu Tong's mood swooned, "If you don't find something to do, you will be old. Look at your recent rhythm of life, it is obviously for the elderly."

Secret.A squinted at him, and said softly, "I'll leave all the young people's affairs to you. Of course, I can enter old age early."

Qu Tong touched his nose, is this implying that he robbed him of his original job?In fact, Boswell did intend to demote Secret.A's status and wanted to promote him. In BW, anyone who is a bit cautious can see it, but he never thought about replacing Secret.A. After all, in his heart , Secret.A itself is irreplaceable, he must rely on Secret.A to live well in Tianyu City.

"Don't say such things to me, you know, I never thought about that." Qu Tong said seriously, observing Secret.A's expression.

Secret.A raised his eyebrows and smiled, "I didn't say anything, I know what kind of person you are, don't worry."

Qu Tong was silent and didn't answer.

There are two things he is most worried about, one, he will be punished if he fails to complete the task; two, Secret.A no longer trusts him.

Now that I think about it carefully, the second thing seems to be much more serious than the first, why has he never noticed it before.

Secret.A moved his own eyeliner in the city, and spent two days inquiring about a lot of undistinguished news.

Secret.A picked up one that sounded reliable and discussed it with Qu Tong.

"It is rumored that Ji Wei fell in love with a mermaid, and the mermaid's fighting power is enhanced by the fruit of the golden tree. Ji Wei is very handy in planting the golden tree, not to mention that the entire Shuiting forest is his, so he generously expressed that he can plant the golden tree. The method was taught to the mermaids, but the ice area was not suitable for planting golden trees, and the mermaids could not live in Shuiting Forest or Tianyu City at that time, and they could not leave the ice area."

"Why do I have an ominous premonition..." Qu Tong felt terrified when he heard this.

"Your hunch is quite accurate. Under the balance, the mermaid detained Ji Wei at that time, forcing him to study the method of planting golden trees in the ice area. Because Ji Wei knows a lot about animals and plants, they think Ji Wei’s ability may not be impossible, it’s just a matter of time.” Secret.A seemed to be telling a long-awaited story, the tone remained unchanged from the beginning to the end, but Qu Tong remembered Ji Wei’s body, there was always An unspeakable weirdness.

"Isn't Ji Wei willing to help the mermaid clan because he likes a certain mermaid? Why didn't that mermaid make any movement after that?" Qu Tong suddenly remembered this avatar.

Secret.A nodded slightly, and sighed softly: "I heard that Ji Wei really likes that mermaid, but unfortunately, that mermaid has long been interested in him. His goal at the beginning was to sacrifice the golden tree, and Ji Wei was tricked by her. She was also tricked into returning to the ice region, and later, he was also in the ice region."

Qu Tong felt that Ji Wei's life was just a table of tableware. He was cheated of his feelings and lost his life.

"Then why is his body in Shuiting Forest?" Qu Tong was puzzled: "I have observed that place, and it doesn't look like it was buried recently, so Ji Wei must have been there a long time ago."

"Hmm." Secret.A agrees with his point of view, "So, he was there in the first place, I guess, it wasn't his friend, probably, the mermaid from the Ice Region sent him back."

"Okay..." Qu Tong pondered for a while, "Then we are left with one last question, why doesn't his body rot?"

"I don't know." Secret.A said honestly, "The eyeliner sent out can only find out these gossips at most, and I don't know how reliable word of mouth is. For such professional issues, it probably depends on the people in the laboratory. , look at them."

"Yeah." Qu Tong smiled brightly at him: "Thanks, anyway, Boswell just asked me to investigate the cause of his death, and he also understands that the problem of the body not decomposing is not within the scope of my professional competence."

Secret.A nodded, noncommittal.

Qu Tong finished the task with ease, looking at Secret.A's face more and more happily, "I will tell Boswell that you helped me."

"Do whatever you want." Secret.A didn't really want to take the credit, "You know what Boswell thinks of me now, so be careful."

"Hmm." Qu Tong thought Secret.A was simply too cute.

The author has something to say: There are more and more messy things at home, and I hope everything can get better.
