Chapter 85: Good, good, good! What a fart! (Monthly ticket plus more)
"Why?"
"People working at the research institute have their optical brains monitored. Don't you know that?"
"Of course I know!"
Ashley glared at her and said, "Scarlett, my patience is limited. If you continue to slander the institute like this, I will report all your evil deeds to the Imperial Court and the Inquisition. By then, not even His Majesty will be able to protect you!"
Scarlett blinked, tried to hold it back for a few seconds, and finally rolled her eyes. "Are you an elementary school student? You always report to the higher-ups? Didn't your parents tell you that when there's a problem, you solve it, not report it?"
"If you like writing reports so much, why do you want to be a researcher? You should be a whistleblower."
"Scarlett!"
Ashley was so angry that he took two deep breaths. Every word came out of his lungs, stained with his raging anger.
Scarlett suspected that if Ashley hadn't been handcuffed to a chair, he would have rushed over and torn her in half.
Scarlett was silent for a moment, then said calmly and calmly, "Are you angry out of shame? Or do you think it was someone from the institute who killed Christine, so you don't dare let me investigate? Do you want others to intervene and protect each other?"
"I don't!"
Ashley was probably furious.
He gritted his teeth, puffed out his cheeks, and a pair of antlers emerged from his head.
The veins on his forehead were so thick and strong that it felt like they were about to burst in the next second.
Scarlett knew that she couldn't provoke Ashley anymore, as she had already gone too far.
If I make him angry to death, I will be fully responsible.
Scarlett took a deep breath and said, "Actually, I want to investigate for the good of the institute."
Ashley was stunned, "Bullshit!"
Scarlett looked at him, blinking gently. Her pale golden eyes twinkled beneath her long lashes, shining like the stars at night. "The resource war will begin in just over ten days. By then, the passages between heaven and earth will be opened, and thousands of people will gather. What do you think would happen if Christine's sister revealed the news of Christine's death in front of everyone?"
"How about it?"
"Christine was a commoner admitted to the Imperial City. She represents the Imperial Court's preferential treatment of commoners. If her death were to be publicized, the Imperial Court would definitely investigate."
“Isn’t this a good thing?”
"What if the person who killed her is related to the institute?"
The topic is back again.
Ashley was so angry again that his veins bulged, "Scarlett, what on earth are you going to do?!"
Scarlett wants to hide the truth from everyone, find out the truth, and then make it public so that they won't even have a chance to protect each other.
She could only investigate secretly.
Once things are put out in the open, they are likely to encounter resistance.
SS-level orc.
Very precious.
As for why we chose the 403 Institute as the starting point for the investigation, it's very simple. Christine's life trajectory is too monotonous. After entering the imperial city, she has been staying in the institute and has not been anywhere else.
Scarlett didn't answer Ashley, but instead asked him, "Ashley, are you so worried about your research institute? Are you afraid to let me investigate? I don't have that many tricks. I just want to sever ties with Christine."
"Otherwise, when the battle for resources comes, I might be left speechless."
"It's not that I can't stand the investigation, but I'm the princess of the empire. How can I be criticized because of a commoner female?"
"That's a war for resources! The whole galaxy is watching."
Ashley said with a cold expression, "So, what does this have to do with the research institute?"
Scarlett didn't dare to continue pointing the finger at the research institute. She just needed to plant a seed of doubt in Ashley's heart.
This will ensure that Ashley will cooperate with her briefly in order to prove the innocence of the institute and catch the real murderer.
Scarlett chuckled and said in a tone that was infuriating, "It really has nothing to do with the research institute. I just wanted to piss you off. Who told you to block me? I want revenge to make you feel unhappy."
Ashley: “…”
Congratulations, that's great. I'm really mad at you.
Ashley was almost pissed to death and it took him ten minutes to recover.
He thought about Scarlett's words. Although they were unreliable, there were some points that could stand up to scrutiny.
If the evildoer was an orc with SS-level psychic power, indeed, no one except Scarlett would dare to investigate privately.
It’s not that Scarlett is capable, but that she is really not afraid.
She even dared to abuse Holst, who was at SSS level. What else could she not dare to do?
To put it bluntly.
Even if someone told him today that Scarlett was riding on His Majesty's head, he would believe it without hesitation.
He wasn't sure whether Christine was dead or alive, and he wasn't sure whether the documents were real or fake.
He had no idea whether Scarlett had met Christine's sister.
But deep down he still believed it.
Because Scarlett disdains lying.
besides.
Research Institute.
Kristen is a researcher.
The person who would be most useful to her optical computer would undoubtedly be the researcher at the research institute.
Ashley calmed down and closed his eyes.
He didn't dare think about it anymore.
After a few seconds of silence, he opened his eyes and looked at Scarlett with his bright eyes. "Okay, you win. Tell me what I should do."
Let Scarlett find out the truth.
He firmly believes that the 403 Institute is innocent!
…
…
Scarlett was very happy that the matter was settled. When it was getting dark, she asked Lilia to prepare a sumptuous dinner to welcome Ashley back.
Scarlett sat at the head of the table.
The five beastmen sat on both sides.
Ashley looked at the silver dinner cover, his heart paused, and he hesitated to take it off.
Riley, who was already cutting the food on the plate with a knife and fork, saw his hesitation and said with a smile, "Don't worry, it's okay."
Even with today's backstabbing, Ashley still trusts Riley.
He nodded and lifted the cover.
His favorite is grilled pork belly.
The pork belly piled high is fat and lean, sizzling with oil.
He was drooling at the sight.
He has been busy with experiments during this period and has not had a normal meal. When he is hungry, he takes nutritional supplements.
Now see the food.
It was still her favorite, so she had no time to hate Scarlett. She maintained her composure, picked up the fork beside her, rolled up a roll of pork belly and stuffed it into her mouth.
It is fat but not greasy, and the fresh juice bursts out when you chew it, leaving a lingering fragrance in your mouth.
tasty.
Ashley ate all the pork belly in one go.
Still not satisfied, he licked the corner of his mouth with satisfaction.
He raised his head, intending to look at Chi Ye, but his eyes inexplicably shifted to Scarlett.
Scarlett was drinking juice. When she saw him looking at her, she smiled naturally, her eyes bright and kind. "Do you want more?"
Ashley felt that she couldn't keep it no matter what.
He had already lost his composure once, and this time he had to remain reserved.
It’s just pork belly, it’s not like he hasn’t eaten it before, so there’s no need to ask for another plate like a starving ghost.
He was about to refuse.
Sylvia, who was sitting across from me, narrowed her eyes and said with a carefree smile, "Scarlett, the crystal shrimp tonight is so tender. I want another plate."
Scarlett looked over lovingly, "Okay."
Although Ashley had eaten all the pork belly, the aroma still lingered in his nose. Every time he took a breath, his lungs were filled with the aroma of meat, which aroused the greed in his stomach and made him unable to swallow his saliva.
He closed his eyes resignedly and said, "I want a plate of pork belly, too."
Scarlett: "Okay."
The tone he used was that of coaxing a child.
When he heard this, his ear moved and turned a little red.
Damn it!
Scarlett, could you please stop talking to him like that? He's not a child!
Ashley angrily finished the next plate of pork belly.
Resist the urge to add another plate and leave the table.
Return to the bright and clean new room.
It was neither right to sit nor to stand. After a short rest and a shower, I crawled into bed. The moment I covered my head, Scarlett's "OK" rang in my ears again.
Good, good, good! What a fart!
Ashley tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.
Finally, with no other choice, he took out the sleeping pills, threw them into his mouth, and swallowed them without drinking any water.
Fell into a deep sleep.
I slept for about ten minutes, but still couldn't fall asleep.
He opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling for a few seconds, then he lifted the quilt and rushed into Chi Ye's room.
Chi Ye was stunned for a moment, "What's the matter?"
Ashley glared at him. "What's wrong with you guys? Why are you obeying Scarlett's every word? Have you been marked by her?"
