Fall in love with an NPC

"I can provide clues, you just go and check." Secret.A met his gaze without flinching, and didn't seem to care what he said.

Xi He restrained his unscrupulous tone a little, "Okay, just pretend that what you said is the truth, why did he kill the priests of our clan? Just relying on him, a mere human being dares to be an enemy of the mermaid clan, for the sake of What? Don't you humans all pay attention to rational motives?"

"As I said, he is very loyal to Boswell." Secret.A obviously meant something.

Xi He lowered his eyes and pondered for a while, then said in a low voice, "You mean, it was Boswell's order to kill our priest?"

"Yes."

"why?"

Qu Tong sat on the side and didn't dare to vent his anger. Neither of the two sides was weak, and their swords were on the verge of breaking out. It felt like a fight was going to happen in the next second.

"Because of me." Secret.A replied: "I was in the ice region when the incident happened, and Boswell killed your priest to try to blame me in order to prevent me from going back forever."

Xi He squinted at him, then looked down at the sharp friction between his index finger and thumb nails, "Oh? You were also in the ice area at the time, and now Boswell is missing. It can be said that there is no evidence of death. How do I know that you are not fooling me. How do you know that the one who killed our priest...wouldn't be you?"

At first, Qu Tong didn’t understand why Secret.A had to expose himself when he approached Qin Rui’s top bag, but he thought of a theory, if you want the other party to believe your lie, you have to add some truth to the lie and mix it together, It will make people unable to tell what is a lie and what is truth.

"I can testify." Qu Tong said from the side: "Secret.A came back to Tianyu City to find me, covered in blood, dying."

Xi He just wanted to speak, but Qu Tong didn't give him a chance to speak.

"I know what you want to say, it's nothing more than 'Who are you to him? I can believe what you say?', right? You can choose not to believe it, but what I say is the truth." Qu Tong himself is not a bold person, especially since this is still on the edge of the Rin River, if Xi He gets into trouble, with his characteristics and speed, he can easily bring him into the water, but he knows that if he wants to Xi He believed in what he said, so he had to make himself look like he was telling the truth.

"Boswell has disliked him for a long time. He is afraid that he will overwhelm the master and will take his place one day. When he intends to promote me, he has expressed this idea. Therefore, it is not impossible to use your borrowed swords to kill people. However, Secret.A just escaped by fate. While he was blaming Secret.A and killing your priest, he used all means to hunt down and kill Secret.A. If Secret.A hadn’t been super capable, he would have died long ago .”

Xi He waited for him to finish speaking, then sneered, "The two of you exhale through one nostril, and what you said is true."

Qu Tong said before Secret.A: "It's true."

Xi He nodded, "Okay, let's assume that what you said is true, what is the evidence?"

"Your priest is a good person." Secret.A said: "Probably you also know that if you kill a priest, you need a purpose, that is, to get something from the priest, and your priest has already put the most precious thing in there. It was given to me before."

Qu Tong knew what he was referring to, the seed of the golden tree.

Sure enough, Secret.A took out something small and inconspicuous, but Xi He's face changed instantly when he saw it, and Qu Tong was not sure if he knew about it beforehand.

"That's it." Secret.A let him read it, and then slowly put it away, Xi He's eyes were fixed on him.

"I already have the seed of the Golden Sacrificial Tree, which was handed over to me by the priest of your clan. What reason do I have to kill him? On the contrary, Boswell has murderous intentions towards me. Although the trick of killing people with a knife is not clever, it is very effective. In fact, Qu Tong is right, if I hadn't escaped by chance, I'm afraid I would have died in your place long ago."

The sharpness in Xi He's eyes subsided a lot, and he seemed to be a little convinced, and asked a difficult question.

"Boswell's disappearance has something to do with you...?"

Qu Tong paused for breath, Secret.A's face remained unchanged: "This has nothing to do with you."

This is an admission in disguise.

Qu Tong didn't understand again now, and he presented some facts to make Xi He believe that Qin Rui was the murderer who killed the priest. He understood this, but he even admitted that Boswell's disappearance had something to do with them. He know?

But he didn't say anything. In the world of "True Battle", he was willing to give himself to Secret.A unconditionally.

No matter what decision Secret.A makes or what he says, it won't hurt him anyway.

"What's your plan?" Xi He finally gave in.

"Do you think Xi He will let us leave tomorrow?" Qu Tong asked Secret.A when he was far away from Linhe on the way back.

"Normally not." Secret.A answered him.

Qu Tong was not sure what Secret.A was thinking, and he didn't want to question him, but he was a little frustrated. This feeling made him feel as if he was excluded by Secret.A from the plan he had made.

Secret.A saw his frustration and held his hand, Qu Tong felt better.

Secret.A looked up at the dark night sky, "So, tonight is a sleepless night."

Qu Tong didn’t quite understand yet, but he followed Secret.A’s gaze to look at the night sky. The cold moon and bright stars hung in the sky. He hadn’t seen such a star for a long, long time. He didn’t understand. What does it matter?His eyes turned to the people around him, as if Secret.A sensed it, he bent the corner of his mouth, leaned over, and gave him a kiss under the moonlight and stars.

Qu Tong returned to the place where they lived again, feeling drowsy, and looked at Secret.A silently, Secret.A felt his gaze, "Go to sleep for a while when you're tired."

Qu Tong is not arguing or hypocritical. Secret.A said he can sleep, so that is no problem. Although he has slept in Xi He’s room for so long, running around in another world is like having no rest. It is too exhausting. , There may be emergencies in the future, he must seize the time to recuperate, preserve his strength, and try not to delay.

But on the one hand, he was very worried, what if he fell asleep and went back?Who cares, as long as Secret.A is still here, no matter where he goes, he will eventually come back.

Thinking of this, he fell asleep after a while.

I don't know how long it took, he woke up refreshed, looked around, and found Secret.A was listening to the door, as if he was listening to something, he walked over without knowing why, and patted Secret.A's shoulder lightly , the latter turned his head and gave him a silent gesture, Qu Tong understood it, and leaned over and put his ear on the door.

There were only rustling voices outside, which couldn't be heard clearly, but seeing how cautious Secret.A was, he didn't dare to act rashly.

After a while, there was no movement outside. Seeing that Secret.A had also relaxed, Qu Tong said softly, "What's the matter?"

Secret.A left the door and gently pulled Qu Tong in. It looked like something serious had happened, and even looked quite relaxed.

"Xi He must have found something. They took Qin Rui away."

Qu Tong was startled, "Why?"

"Mermaids are suspicious by nature. They won't believe us if we throw out a half-truth 'truth', but as long as they find out a little bit of clues, they will definitely not let Qin Rui go easily." Secret.A said slowly explain.

"Even if they are not sure whether Qin Rui did it or not?"

"Yes." Secret.A replied without hesitation, and did not even think about hiding anything.

Qu Tong was quite shocked, shocked by Secret.A's decisive killing. He had always thought that Secret.A only looked cold on the surface and was not easy to get along with, but his heart was soft, at least he would not really use "borrowing a knife to kill people" method to eradicate the threat, although Boswell also likes to use this method.

But he was just shocked, he didn't agree or disagree with the statement, Secret.A can do things with confidence, Qin Rui can't be on their side from the beginning to the end, Secret.A also eliminated a factor of uncertainty in this way.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Secret.A thought that he didn't agree with his actions, so his tone became more relaxed.

"Qin Rui pushed you into the water not just as a prank, but because he wanted to put you to death."

Qu Tong glanced at him: "I know, and I didn't... feel sorry for him."

Sacrificing Qin Rui alone saved them a lot of trouble. Besides, Qin Rui really wanted to harm him, so it would definitely not be safe to keep him.

Now that Qu Tong said so, Secret.A will not continue to entangle on this issue.

"Since Xi He acquiesced that Qin Rui was the murderer, should he let us go?" Qu Tong asked.

"It's much less troublesome, but I can't be sure." Secret.A glanced at him, then turned to the door, "I'll find out when the sun rises."

Qu Tong didn’t feel like going to bed anymore. He hesitated whether to tell Secret.A something, but he was basically sure what Secret.A would do if he knew about it, so he couldn’t do that. He hesitated, and finally decided to keep it a secret Secret. A.

Secret.A closed his eyes for a while in the middle of the night, and Qu Tong thought he was fast asleep, but it turned out that just after dawn, Secret.A opened his eyes. It was clear and bright, as if he had never fallen asleep.

After a while, a mermaid came to send a message.

"The patriarch said that you can leave, but the matter has not been completely resolved, so he is not embarrassed, just need to leave one person."

Secret.A nodded, "Yes."

The mermaid seemed a little surprised, then turned to Qu Tong, "Then please follow me."

Qu Tong was taken aback, and pointed to himself, "You said there was only one person left, and you meant me?" Secret.A was obviously wrong, and frowned to protect Qu Tong behind him.

The mermaid was expressionless, "Of course, otherwise, who are you talking about?"

Qu Tong opened his mouth and wanted to say that you have already taken Qin Rui away, why did you suddenly bring it to me?Before he could say anything, he was stopped by Secret.A's eyes.

"It's impossible for him to stay. You probably made a mistake. Your patriarch also knows that I can't let him stay, so he definitely wouldn't make such an unreasonable request."

The mermaid was a little impatient, "Then you just wait, I'll ask the patriarch what he means."

Qu Tong was agitated for a while, this matter, abducted back and forth, turned out to be abducted to himself.

The life of the protagonist is not so good.

Secret.A pinched the back of his hand lightly as if soothing, and Qu Tong gave him a look reassuring that he was fine.

The author has something to say: I am really weak this year, in all aspects, and I feel that I am weak.

May is not over, let's work hard next month.
