Chapter 006: Despicable Outsider
The air froze again.
Rong Le almost couldn't help but reach out to pick her ears, wanting the boss to repeat it again.
I've never seen anyone so frankly ask him for this.
Charm him?
The atmosphere fell silent for a moment, and after a moment, Rong Le suddenly said, "I understand. The boss hid behind the counter for so long without saying a word. Was it to observe me? He seemed to be indifferent to what happened just now, but he was actually looking forward to it. That's why he made such a request."
Rong Le sneered, his expression turned cold, and his green eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of ice, which made his inhuman coldness even more severe.
He looked at the boss with a cold gaze, then slowly leaned over. His long hair fell slightly behind him, and the ends of his hair landed on the boss's hand, bringing a feathery, subtle itch.
He reached out and slowly covered his hand that was on the counter.
Then, he slowly lifted it up, his slender fingertips brushing across his muscular forearms, stopping at a position not too far from his throat.
On the neck, as if sensing the vague danger, the man's Adam's apple rolled up and down, which was particularly eye-catching.
However, the boss suppressed his conditioned reflex and stared at Rong Le with dark eyes, as if saying, "Let me see how far you can go."
Rong Le snorted, seeming to be very disdainful. His fingertips brushed against her lightly, and his instinctive sense of crisis made him react differently.
"Is the boss looking for excitement?"
The young man lowered his voice, and it was deep and comfortable. The charm displayed by the face so close to him was almost dazzling. It was a double feast for the eyes and ears.
"Or do you like me?"
The fingertips that were messing around finally stopped on his lips. The lips under the fingertips were dry and soft. The comfortable touch made Rong Le unable to help but press down. Under the boss's sudden and forbearing gaze, he smiled with some pleasure.
He moved closer, grabbed the boss's tie by the neck and pulled him over. Across the bar, the black-haired young man had an unclear expression.
His voice was low and hoarse: "Or... you just want to experience what it feels like to be treated like this by me?"
At this moment, the two were very close, so close that they could hear each other's breathing, and so close that the boss could see the deep green eyes half-hidden under the thick eyelashes.
He felt his heart in his chest beating for the first time in a long time.
-
“Oh my god…”
At this moment, someone was looking at the picture on the big screen, covering his chest and trembling.
After a period of fermentation, the strange live broadcast room that suddenly appeared has gained some popularity.
Although most viewers who accidentally walked in were confused about the content of the live broadcast, many stayed because of the overly novel background and the host's eye-catching appearance.
Linqing organized a pioneer meeting, especially for those who had participated in the Polant module mission, focusing on the live broadcast content.
At this time, in addition to Xu Yuanhe who had not left yet, there were several other pioneers who had been to the Polish special module group in the conference room.
The pioneer who was shocked was named Lu Qi, who was also one of those who had been poisoned by the Polant module.
After hearing that the Polish model was broadcast live by unknown means and could not be banned, he immediately opened the live broadcast room to watch the live broadcast.
The content of the live broadcast is not all-day and has no privacy. The angle of the camera also changes, as if an invisible hand is controlling the live broadcast room, and they can only see that world through the screen.
They watched the detective and his companions check into the hotel, then go to the tavern and encounter a murder case, and then Rong Le was attacked by a monster while collecting clues in Roland's room, and the confrontation with Harry and the tavern owner... They saw it all.
They originally thought that this was a ruthless and wild player, and there were even a few pioneers who triggered the relevant plot and were discussing the NPC inside. They didn't expect that the following plot direction would be so surprising.
The tavern owner... could actually be charmed?!
Harry can also explain it. After all, all the players who have come into contact with Harry know that this gentleman attaches great importance to appearance. People with an APP (appearance) of around 80 will be looked at differently by him.
...But the tavern owner is outrageous!
Lu Qi was the pioneer who had been tortured by the tavern owner and was almost suffering from sequelae. He watched the live broadcast with an incredible look on his face: "Is this the tavern owner? Is this that devil?!"
It wasn't like this when he fell into the boss's hands!
Lin Qing sat in the front, looking at the scene on the screen, which had an ambiguous atmosphere comparable to a movie, and wondered what he was thinking.
Some people who didn't understand the comments were still screaming excitedly as if they were watching a movie.
“This atmosphere is incredible!”
"Is this really something I can watch without paying? This kind of high-quality live streaming wouldn't have been possible before, let alone now."
"Is this acting? The actor playing the detective is so witty..."
"The plot, acting, and character design are all outstanding. This live broadcast room is going to be a hit!"
"No way? Am I really the only one who thinks this seems real?"
"It doesn't feel like a documentary. Why don't the actors interact with us? I want to talk to the detective."
“…”
It has to be said that Rong Le really refreshed his understanding.
After knowing that he was a detective, Lin Qing, who had read countless Pioneer Operation Reports, naturally turned his thinking into solving the case.
After all, numerous pioneer data indicate that the characters played by players in the City of Mist are directly related to him, and although these characters have similar but distinct experiences, they all fit the players in some ways.
Therefore, people with low IQ cannot become university professors, and people with weak bodies basically cannot become mercenaries.
But I have to say... Rong Le's operation does seem to be effective.
At least no one had ever been able to interest the boss, let alone seduce him, or seem to have succeeded in doing so.
When Lu Qi first went to Portland, his starting point was the tavern, and most of his tasks were also carried out around the tavern. It can be said that he was the one who knew the boss best among the pioneers present, and he was also a pioneer with good qualities in all aspects.
Those who can make him scream or even leave a shadow are basically the bosses of each major module.
Of course, the integration of pioneer module data shows that many modules can be derived from the same location. These modules are combined together to form a large composite module, which contains more than ten basic main lines and countless branch lines. The pioneers have a variety of ways to complete their tasks.
Therefore, there is rarely any overlap between tasks and intelligence among the player community.
Lin Qing thought for a long time. During this time, he kept looking up at the screen and did not notice that the conference room had become quiet. After a while, he realized that no one was talking.
Lin Qing said, "...Let's lift the ban completely. Anyone online who is concerned about the Savior's Observation Records live broadcast room can respond as appropriate. I have a feeling we won't be able to hide this for much longer."
"This live broadcast room and this person may bring us incredible changes in the near future."
*
At this time, the two people who were in an ambiguous atmosphere were completely unaware of these situations.
In the quiet space, only the sound of old records echoed in this space. Amidst the singing, the subtle sounds of clothes rubbing against each other were barely audible.
Rong Le looked at the motionless boss in her hands and said lightly in a brisk tone: "If the boss is jealous of Harry, there is actually no need to use this method."
His tone was firm and contained a strong sense of self-confidence. Even in this situation that made people want to hold their breath, his eyes were incredibly frank.
It was a blatant lie that both parties knew about, but no one could say no under his passionate gaze.
The boss did not make any other moves from beginning to end, and silently cooperated with Rong Le to complete the seduction he proposed.
When he realized that the enchantment seemed to be coming to an end, he finally raised his head.
He looked at Rong Le with a strange look. Rong Le couldn't tell what it was. It was neither hate nor love.
Boss: “You are special.”
"I took it as a compliment." Rong Le said with a smile.
The black-haired young man would squint his eyes when he smiled, like a little animal, which was very cute. The boss just rubbed his head.
Rong Le narrowed her eyes to hide the cold light in them.
At this moment, a hesitant voice sounded: "You...what are you doing?"
Rong Le turned around and found that Bai Yue had appeared at the corner at some point.
“…”
Oops, I got caught.
It was like an adolescent boy who was caught doing something bad behind his guardian's back. Although Baiyue was harmless to him, he still had a natural deterrent effect.
It even made him feel guilty subconsciously.
Then he reacted and turned around as if nothing had happened, "Ignore him."
Baiyue: "What?!"
The boss smiled softly, "I'll give you what you want. Also, you want to investigate the case of the missing girl from out of town, right? Roland is dead, so you'll have to find another way in."
"so?"
Boss: "We can continue the transaction."
Baiyue's gaze shifted to Rong Le.
Rong Le smiled slightly: "...Then how does the boss want to continue the transaction?"
Baiyue seemed to be lost in thought.
This eccentric guy is not stingy in using his looks, but only to gain some convenience in investigating cases.
There are always people who think that they can really develop a relationship with Rong Le, but the final outcome of these people will be that they will be abandoned after being exploited by Rong Le.
The boss was silent for a moment, obviously noticing that he was in a bad mood.
Why are you suddenly angry?
"I need you to go to the hospital and see Dr. Kurosawa."
The boss simply said, "We have always had business dealings, but recently Kurosawa seems to have a new toy and rarely contacts me. He has the idea of terminating the transaction."
"This is not something he can decide casually. I hope you can stop Kurosawa from being addicted to toys, no matter what method you use."
"'This is not a joke,' that was my warning."
"I can pay you a small fee in advance. As for Roland, I can tell you that I took him in because I knew his fate. I chose to watch a good show up close. If he died, I might even gain some benefits."
"As for the intelligence for this mission, I can tell you a suspect who is just as valuable as Roland."
This is indeed important information.
If they get any clues, they will break the current deadlock and find a new breakthrough.
What's more, the boss's trust is conducive to their survival in this xenophobic foreign town. Getting the support of the local tyrants is undoubtedly a great convenience. Whether it is intelligence, weapons, or connections, getting in touch with the boss is a good choice for them.
Rong Le obviously understood this as well. He smiled and said, "Cooperating with the boss is definitely the right choice."
"Hopefully we can form a good partnership, Detective."
"I think the same as you."
Rong Le extended her hand, and the two shook hands in a friendly manner, reaching an agreement tacitly.
"Then it's a pleasure to work with you."
…
"The boss must know the person who killed Roland, but he obviously won't tell us any important clues directly."
"Both the boss and Harry are implicated in this case. From what he said, I don't know this suspect. I'm afraid he has never appeared in this case before."
"This person was hiding very well and had close ties with the victims in both cases."
Rong Le stood at the door of the tavern, stroking his chin: "Hei Ze is probably not a simple character. A doctor who dares to have a long-term deal with the boss is naturally not an ordinary doctor."
"The 'toy' that made him choose to terminate the deal probably wasn't just a toy."
The young man with green eyes looked at the character tasks in the task list.
[Role Mission: 3. Complete the boss's mission and convince Kurosawa to give up the idea of terminating the deal.]
"It feels like things are getting more and more complicated." Bai Yue tutted, "That little girl just knows how to run around."
"That's right, when we find her, we must spank her." Rong Le nodded in agreement, "I will let her feel the love from her brother..."
Baiyue: "That's my sister, thank you."
Rong Le chuckled and said, "Isn't your sister my sister? And the little girl obviously likes me more than you."
"That's because you're such a liar!"
Bai Yue couldn't bear it any longer and kicked forward, but Rong Le dodged it easily. He ran forward briskly and turned back to make a provocative expression at him.
Baiyue: "...Very good, you are dead."
Rong Le was experienced in being beaten. Although he had only been in Polant for a short time, he had already angered Baiyue several times. He ran very fast and disappeared from sight after turning a corner.
At this time, Cohen, who was standing next to him, finally reacted and reached out to try to grab Bai Yue, who was still trying to chase him: "Wait, Mr. Bai Yue, Mr. Detective..."
He's running so fast, where is he going?!
The Military Police Bureau is not in that direction!
And why are you guys arguing? Aren't you an employer and employee?!
Bai Yue rubbed his forehead and said, "Don't worry about him, he can take care of himself."
"What's important right now is my sister's case, Mr. Cohen, and I wish I could be a part of the investigation."
"I can't just sit there and wait in the hotel. I can protect myself, so please understand my feelings as a brother." He said sincerely.
Cohen had no reason to refuse him, so he took him with him to investigate in the name of protecting his family.
——And this direction was also the result of discussion between Rong Le and the others.
Roland still has room to continue digging, and the protection of the military police is what they need at the moment.
Rong Le's connection with the boss can also add some security to their investigation activities in this small town.
Even if it was for the connections and resources he had, Rong Le had to take on this task.
So, in the end they decided to act separately.
Cohen led Baiyue towards the Military Police Bureau. Elsewhere, Rong Le left the others behind and stood on an unfamiliar street, looking around.
"Oops... I seem to be lost."
