Chapter 763 A Clever Plan to Catch the Real Murderer
After that, they successfully completed the mission.
When Aqua returned to the guild, she kept crying, "Wuwuwu... Wuwuwu... I won't dare to do it again, never again... Crocodiles are so scary... So scary..."
Her psychological trauma seemed to be stronger than before.
Huihui comforted her and whispered, "Aqua, cheer up. We are back in town, and the crocodiles won't attack you."
"Well, this mission is also a good experience." Darkness nodded seriously. This guy is happy again.
"It may be a good experience, but it's not good to break the cage again." Huihui sighed and said, "I wonder if the guild will ask for compensation this time."
While talking, Xiaolin came back.
"Ah-"
"Ah, Xiaolin. What do you say about the cage?"
"Convincing Miss Luna doesn't need to pay compensation, but the cost and the reward for destroying the alligators and purifying the lake water offset each other."
Xiaolin spread his hands helplessly.
Not only did she not make a dime from the trip, but the psychological shadow of the stupid goddess also worsened. It can be said that it was a losing business.
But Huihui sighed with relief: "Is that so? That's great!"
"How is it good!" Aqua shouted unhappily: "I was scared to death, and I don't even have a dime at the end of the day!?"
"Oh, is she resurrected?"
Seeing the angry stupid goddess, Xiaolin raised his eyebrows.
"What do you mean by offset!" Aqua continued to lose her temper, yelling, "I was put into the lake to be squeezed for juice, and was attacked by an alligator! At least give me some special rewards!"
"I know, I know, calm down."
Kobayashi pushed the face of the angry stupid goddess and said, "Although there is no special reward, I promised to treat you to all-you-can-eat food."
"Not enough! This is not enough! Where is the bubble wine? Treat me to the highest quality bubble wine, I want to drink to my heart's content!" Aqua was not satisfied with just eating, this guy also wanted to drink enough.
"Well, this, I'll treat you."
Darkness scratched her cheek embarrassedly and said awkwardly, "Well... Sorry, I rushed up unintentionally."
Eh——
This pervert, at least he can reflect on himself.
By the way, was she unconscious? It's better to say that it was premeditated, and she is the type of guy who doesn't listen to advice.
"If Darkness treats me, I won't be polite." Aqua shouted, "Come on, let's drink to our heart's content tonight!"
This stupid goddess doesn't care who treats her. As long as she can eat and drink to her heart's content and doesn't have to spend money, anyone will do. A real useless goddess.
"... You've recovered so quickly."
"It's always been like this. After all, Aqua is a woman who lives by instinct."
Meihui and Kobayashi twitched their lips.
Darkness is the acting lord of Axel after all. Although this guy doesn't show off his wealth at ordinary times, he has plenty of money, so everyone had a great time eating and drinking that night.
Of course, Aqua also drank to her heart's content and vomited out all the bubble wine she drank halfway. I don't understand what's wrong with this guy. If that's the case, why bother drinking in the first place?
Back to the mansion.
"Wuwuwu... I'm so tired..."
As soon as she came back, Meihui threw away her wand and plopped down on the sofa, unwilling to move. While saying that she was not decent, Youyou straightened her up.
Xiaolin was the same in this regard, and he lay on another sofa.
"Really... I really want to take a shower... and then lie on the bed..."
It can be said that he was exhausted physically and mentally. Today, it was fine to fight against the alligator, but he also had to negotiate with the guild's counter lady Luna. He finally got her to offset the compensation, and Aqua was not happy to drink so much bubble wine.
Really, I was exhausted.
Seeing the two people so lazy and sloppy, Darkness said with some pampering: "It's just this level, you are so embarrassed."
"We are not physical monsters like you." Xiaolin, who was lying on the sofa, rolled his eyes unhappily.
"Don't describe me like this," Darkness complained a little unhappy, muttering softly: "It's a bit hurt. Anyway, I'm a woman too."
What's wrong with this guy? Didn't he like to be insulted like this in the past? Ever since he was cursed and recovered, he has been weird.
"Meow~"
At this time, the house pet Mamonosuke in the mansion came over with a cat step and licked the fingers of Huihui who was lying on the sofa.
"Ah, Mamonosuke, you are comforting me, thank you."
The little girl scratched the black kitten's chin.
"Hey, Huihui." Xiaolin leaned on the sofa in Ge You's posture and said to the little girl: "Don't be lazy here all the time, go and clean the bathroom quickly. It's your turn today."
"Ha..." The little girl sighed deeply and said: "Xiaolin, do it for me. Now, I need to lie on the bed to heal myself."
"You guy...Okay, you have a good rest."
"Eh?"
"What's wrong?"
"No, no, thank you...? Then I will...listen to you...?"
"Why is it a question sentence?"
And it's not just her tone that's wrong, even her eyes and expressions are very unpleasant.
Meihui seemed to understand something and said, "I understand. You will say that the deal is done and then make unreasonable demands, right? So, just in case, use a question sentence to leave a way out."
"You think too much." Kobayashi rolled his eyes and pointed his finger at her forehead, saying, "Okay, go to bed with Mamonosuke. Leave the next job to me."
However, his kindness was not accepted, and even Meihui covered her mouth thoughtfully.
"Could it be that there is something on the bed--"
"Nothing."
"Then you will force me to do other work later..."
"No way!"
Kobayashi shouted at the little loli with paranoia, snorting in displeasure, "Why do you doubt others like this?!"
"Because, it's you, Kobayashi."
"You, I've always been like this."
Kobayashi rolled his eyes. This sentence should be said to Sato Kazuma. If that guy inadvertently shows a hint of kindness, he really has other intentions. But Xiaolin was not like this before. He was more upright and kind.
At this time, the stupid goddess came up shamelessly, with a flattering smile on her face, and said sweetly: "Well, then, you also make dinner for me, Mr. Xiaolin?"
"Hmm?"
"By the way, bring me a bottle of bubble wine, I also need to heal, okay?"
"Don't even think about it."
Xiaolin refused without hesitation, which was too ruthless, naturally causing dissatisfaction from Aqua, and she puffed her mouth and was very unhappy.
"Why?!"
"Aqua, don't you have no desires?"
Darkness asked such a question when she saw the stupid goddess asking for food and drink. And this made the stupid goddess become honest all of a sudden.
"Yes, yes, desire is a sin, let's eat a simpler meal tonight."
"...Hmm?"
This work is uploaded by the editor~~
"...Ah?"
"...Hmm?"
"...What is this?"
The four members of the team looked at the stupid goddess with burning eyes, thinking that she was a little bit wrong. If it was the old Aqua, she would have been very good not to ask for a big meal, not to mention eating simple food. Not to mention, she took the initiative to ask for a simple meal. There is definitely something wrong here!
"What, what? Are you so hungry?"
Aqua was frightened by the looks of the four team members. She couldn't help but take a step back and said, "Everyone is so greedy, but there is no other way to survive. I know, I will make dinner now."
Then, she ran to the kitchen quickly.
It's so strange, really strange. The stupid goddess is definitely a master at eating and drinking, but she is completely bad at cooking. It's not that she can't do it, but she doesn't want to do it.
That guy prefers others to serve her rather than cooking for herself. After all, she is a goddess and has long been accustomed to being served by others.
On weekdays, when it is the stupid goddess' turn to cook, the degree of difficulty is no less than asking her to go to work, but now she actually runs to cook so easily, no matter how you think about it, it is very problematic.
After thinking for a while, Kobayashi asked, "What do you guys think about that? Is she really free of desire?"
"It feels weird." Huihui also looked at the closed kitchen door and said, "It feels different from Darkness's situation. Can this be said to be a manifestation of free of desire?"
"It's not the same as Huihui's situation." Darkness also looked at the closed kitchen door and asked in confusion, "Although sometimes she suddenly shows her pure and respectful side, I always feel that something is wrong."
The two parties spoke out.
"By the way, I call Aqua in that state 'Pure Mode Aqua', because both her expression and her mind are very pure." Kobayashi said maliciously.
Yunyun couldn't help but grumbled in a low voice: "Well, Miss Aqua herself would definitely be very angry if she heard it."
"But the opportunity to become that pure Aqua was when we just grumbled about her, or when she was influenced by the surroundings." Kobayashi spread his hands, the meaning was already very clear, "That guy - is Aqua really cursed?"
"Yes..."
Darkness and Huihui looked at each other and shook their heads one after another.
"Me too, I didn't see Aqua showing her desireless side."
"Me too, in the end, has Aqua really become desireless?"
"It's as if she's agreeing with us...ah, I don't mean that Miss Aqua is the same as me, but she seems to be deliberately following our pace and obeying us, so...this...that..."
"Yes, we know, Yunyun, you don't need to explain anymore."
Kobayashi patted the panicked girl's shoulder.
Yunyun has always valued friends, but the simple girl doesn't know how to make friends with others, so she always obeys her friends, which makes her so deformed.
However, since Huihui and Darkness, two people who have been cursed, said so, I think Aqua must be hiding something.
"It always feels suspicious."
Kobayashi sighed, but at the same time said: "But when making clothes, Aqua must have the deepest desire, and this judgment is correct."
"Well... Anyway, let's forget about Aqua for now." Darkness said with great experience: "After all, no substantial harm has been done, so there is nothing unexpected about it. And compared to this, I am more worried about always I don’t have time to look for prisoners when I’m working.”
"That's right..." Huihui lazily turned over and said in a depressed tone full of exhaustion: "I was so tired after I came back that I didn't have the energy to find the prisoner. Plus what happened with the stupid goddess..."
"At most, I can only inquire about it while working."
Youyou also lowered his head helplessly.
Rather, they really don't have the time to take care of these things. If you work part-time, you won't be able to catch the prisoner. If you go to catch the prisoner... it's okay to catch the prisoner. If you don't catch the prisoner and fail to complete the task, Xiaolin and the others will face being questioned. In addition, Aqua is suspected of helping the prisoner, and she might be jointly and severally held responsible, making them passive... It's really a problem that becomes blocked at both ends, and the more I think about it, the more upset I become.
Darkness also rubbed his eyebrows and said with some distress: "I can't say that there is no information collected through part-time work. I can only say that there is no useful information in it... If this continues, it will not be good."
"Oh... the prisoner might as well surrender himself..."
Xiao Lin had fantasies that he shouldn't have.
Besides, how is such a thing possible? The reason why criminals are criminals is that they know they have committed a crime but still commit it. Therefore, it is simply delusional for them to confess their sins on their own.
"----ah!?"
"Oh?! Megumin, what happened suddenly?"
The little Loli suddenly sat up from the sofa and shouted at the same time, startling both Kobayashi and Maunosuke.
But she didn't care about these trivial matters. Instead, she looked at her teammates in the team with excitement and said, "Yeah, why didn't you think of that? Surrender, surrender!"
"Hey, Megumin, do you want Aqua to surrender?" Xiaolin twitched his lips and said, "Let's forget it, then we are all finished."
He mistakenly thought that Megumin wanted Aqua to take the blame, but the problem was that they would also be jointly and severally held responsible.
"It's not that, let the real criminal surrender!"
Megumin shouted excitedly.
Under everyone's surprised and strange gazes, she said confidently: "Since we can't find him, let the prisoner come out on his own!"
"It would be great if it could really be like this." Darkness frowned slightly, "The question is, is there such a way?"
"Hmph, this kind of thing is a piece of cake compared to my high IQ!"
"Stop being cool and come up with a solution quickly."
Xiao Lin held down the little Loli's head.
The little Loli broke away and said, "That's good. If the prisoner and the person who prepared the formula are the same person, there must be a reason why he asked us to keep making clothes."
"Um...that's right."
"In this case, what will happen if we put on a show and pretend that the formula is all lost? The prisoner may prepare the formula again for us——"
"Yes! In this case, the prisoner may go to Wiz's shop again!"
If the criminal is caught there——
