Arknights, are you a good person?
Page 338
Miss Susie feels very difficult to deal with.
Giving someone a nickname the first time you meet them, although Chengshan should mean "clear and shining", which has a good connotation, it is still a bit impolite. She raised her head and still wanted to correct Qi Yuan's way of calling him that.
Her name is Susie, a name given to her by her parents that will not change because of anything.
When Susie looked up, she was met with Qi Yuan's dangerous gaze. His gaze was like a knife, as if it wanted to peel her off inch by inch and pierce deep into her heart.
Susie: "..."
Even when facing questioning by RCMP who discriminated against infected people, she did not feel so nervous.
I was so scared that the sparks were going to explode.
At this moment, on Susie's forehead, the rune that Qi Yuan had just drawn flickered slightly, and the lightning that was about to explode suddenly dissipated into nothingness and was strangled in the invisible, just like a stink bomb.
"Woo..."
She was going to cry.
-------------------------------------
In the end, Susie gladly accepted the nickname Chengshan.
She volunteered.
"Mr. Qi Yuan, you were just passing by here and saw the fire by chance. Then you heard me mumbling in the fire and rushed upstairs to rescue me?"
Cheng Shan's face turned red, this was really embarrassing.
Mr. Qi Yuan could hear it from such a distance. So, didn’t the other people outside the fire scene also hear her wailing?
"Most people don't have such strong hearing." Qi Yuan patiently advised.
He had been staring at Cheng Shan for three full minutes, and he finally got what he wanted. He saw Cheng Shan's deepest wish at this moment.
[A fire ruined my dream of opening a store]
[At this moment, Cheng Shan only wants the arsonist to pay the price, and let them repay the lost 4614 gold pounds, as well as the rent and rent deposit lost due to the fire...]
As usual, completing a wish will grant you operator traits, and spending another 500 morals will grant you the corresponding abilities.
Do you just want people to pay back the money they lost?
Qi Yuan shook his head after reading the description.
Although Cheng Shan is kind, he obviously has no social experience. In the past, Qi Yuan would lend a large sum of money to loan sharks before calling the police.
Chengshan's ability is electric sparks.
Even though he was completely suppressed by Qi Yuan's thunder talisman, it was still a piece of cake. Qi Yuan thought that he would just help out and gain some public favor at the same time.
"Although I would like to thank you materially, I am currently penniless and don't even have a place to stay tonight."
Cheng Shan bowed and said, "Can you please leave your contact information and address? When I save up some more money, I'll ask a courier to send it to you."
"Do you have any clues about this arson case?" Qi Yuan asked gently.
"Would you like to help?"
Cheng Shan suddenly looked up with an expression of disbelief.
491: Qi Yuan, all-seeing
In Cheng Shan's heart, Qi Yuan is an extremely mysterious man.
If it was just a simple rescue from a fire, she would simply be filled with gratitude, but when Mr. Qi Yuan wrote and drew on his forehead, drawing a strange rune, the problems that had been bothering her suddenly disappeared.
After becoming infected, she did not undergo any systematic magician training.
Therefore, whenever Cheng Shan gets a little excited, her whole body will immediately start to emit electric shocks, which not only deeply troubles the people around her, but is also a torture to herself.
After such long-term torture, Cheng Shan himself was almost numb from the electric shock, and others had become accustomed to it.
The only benefit is probably that the body becomes more and more resistant to electricity.
What a dark humor.
Qi Yuan must be a very powerful lightning magician, right? Just a thin piece of paper calmed down her violent Originium skills.
Cheng Shan's mind was full of thoughts, and when he heard that Qi Yuan wanted to help him further, his first reaction was disbelief.
"Mr. Qi Yuan, are you really willing to help me?"
Cheng Shan reminded in a low voice: "In Victoria, every kind of help is clearly priced, even the ambulances that are used to transport patients..."
After saying this, she suddenly felt a little regretful.
What if after hearing these words, Qi Yuan's help became paid?
But if he didn't tell Mr. Qi Yuan, Cheng Shan would feel guilty. If he didn't remind Qi Yuan that help could be priced clearly, wouldn't that cause him financial losses?
"..."
Caught in a dilemma, her face gradually turned red again.
"This kid has such a severe mental exhaustion." Angel of Power shook his head and patted Cheng Shan's shoulder heavily, "This won't do. Keep this in mind and repay him when you find a chance."
"Is this really possible?"
Cheng Shan lowered his head: "But my ability is very low. I have worked for a long time and only saved more than 4,000 gold pounds. It is impossible for me to help you."
"Tell me first whether you have any clues."
Qi Yuan interrupted her. If she continued like this, Cheng Shan would probably die of inferiority complex.
"Have……"
Cheng Shan subconsciously followed Qi Yuan's order and took out a piece of burnt debris from his arms.
It was a piece of broken glass and a piece of rag.
"I don't have this kind of thing at home. When I saw it, I carefully put it away and prepared to call the police when I got out. I didn't think too much about it at the time. Now I think about it, why would the Victoria Royal Mounted Police serve me, an infected person?"
Qi Yuan really didn't want to listen to Cheng Shan's words that were full of mental exhaustion.
He grabbed the fragments and turned back to discuss with the other three.
"It's a glass bottle and a piece of cloth. The cloth was not burned cleanly and there is a smell of organic solvent on it." Qi Yuan said.
"Based on my extensive experience, I determined that this was a Molotov cocktail."
The Angel took one look at it and said confidently, "Basically everyone in our Sakota school can make this kind of thing, but no one plays with it because it burns too quietly and is not dangerous at all."
The campus life of Angel is quite rich.
After all, she was born and raised in Sakota, Rutland.
"This reminds me of my previous life." Texas thought silently for a while, then said, "When I was a child in Colombia, I watched the Texas family expand their territory there. They used this method, throwing Molotov cocktails to start fires and advancing savagely... That was when I was two years old."
"what?"
The Archangel was horrified: "Texas, at what age do you start to remember things?"
"I don't remember. I just know that I was breastfeeding at that time. As for before that, my memory is not very clear."
He is truly a born gangster.
-------------------------------------
Everyone talked one after another, gradually figuring out the situation at that time. Susie watched silently on the side, her expression gradually becoming dull.
Can so many things be analyzed from just a few fragments?
Cheng Shan suddenly felt that he was still useful. In the midst of confusion and fire, he was able to rescue something that might contain clues.
Qi Yuan put down the fragments of the Molotov cocktail and patted the ashes off his hands.
"It's probably gang behavior, but further investigation is needed. We're new here, so this will probably take some time." Texas pointed out the problem calmly.
"I……"
Cheng Shan really wanted to say that he worked in a bar called Rhodes Island, an organization that helped the infected. It had accumulated many connections by distributing special medicines and had a detailed intelligence network.
"This is easy to handle."
Qi Yuan's words interrupted Cheng Shan's thoughts that had been brewing for a long time, and she suddenly became silent again.
"It's not like we don't have eyes and ears here."
The city of Karaton is the only place in Victoria where Rhodes Island has a garrison.
"..."
It turns out that Mr. Qi Yuan is a big shot with connections everywhere. Even if he drives through any city, he will have spies hidden in that city.
However, thinking that this was Mr. Qi Yuan, she suddenly felt normal again.
"If you have nowhere to go, you can work the night shift to earn some money. We need to conduct the most basic information exchange."
Qi Yuan patted Cheng Shan on the back and said, "Let's exchange contact information first."
Cheng Shan nodded blankly.
"You are such a good man."
Public morality +1.
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Cheng Shan found that Mr. Qi Yuan’s expression had softened a little, as if he was very... satisfied with himself?
Why on earth did Qi Yuan feel satisfied?
Cheng Shan didn’t know, she just thought that Mr. Qi Yuan was a good man with connections.
-------------------------------------
Returning to the workplace in a daze, Cheng Shan's surprise at meeting Qi Yuan and his group gradually turned into a frown, which aroused the curiosity of his boss Kugen.
He rubbed the collar of his Rhode Island uniform dark blue jacket and walked forward.
"Although I appreciate his kindness, this is undoubtedly like looking for a needle in a haystack. Can it really work?"
"What are you talking about?"
"scare!"
Cheng Shan was startled again, and Boss Kugen hid to the side with quick and skillful movements, as if dodging Cheng Shan's lightning had become a memory engraved in his genes.
"nothing."
Cheng Shan didn't want to make his boss worry, so he quickly changed the subject and moved his eyes to the roster in Boss Kugen's arms.
"Boss, what are you doing?"
"This is a direct order from the top brass of Rhodes Island. It's like raising troops for a thousand days and deploying them in one day." Boss Kugen shook his head. "I haven't done this kind of intelligence screening work for a long time. I'm a little rusty now."
"..."
What a coincidence?
492: I Almost Forgot I Was a Judge of Syracuse (Part 3)
When Qi Yuan wanted to collect intelligence, Rhodes Island's system became busy. It was really too much of a coincidence. Cheng Shan suddenly had a bold guess in his mind.
Could it be that Qi Yuan is the sponsor behind Rhodes Island?
Cheng Shan covered her mouth, feeling that it was unlikely. Mr. Qi Yuan and the people around him - excuse me for the offense - seemed to have a faint underworld aura. Although they were very kind, they were probably gangsters by nature.
But Rhodes Island is a selfless Marist organization.
Without considering whether there is a loss or not, they distribute drugs to the infected people everywhere, almost without asking for anything in return.
The painting styles of the two are quite different.
Seeing that she was lost in thought again, Boss Kugen shook his head and said:
"If you want to work the night shift, go ahead, but you can't stay up too late at your age. When you're done, sleep in Miss Xia Li's temporary lounge. Don't waste your time on the road."
Cheng Shan wanted nothing more than to nod his head repeatedly, his drooping cat ears shaking.
"I'm going to get busy!"
"Be careful. Earlier, there was an arson incident in the infected community. You have to be careful when you walk. Watch out for danger."
Boss Kugen gave a considerate reminder.
