Chapter 57 An agreement is reached
Hearing her words, Jiang Chen laughed: "Miss Charlotte." He put down the cup in his hand: "I don't see any practical significance to this request of yours." ”
The woman smiled, "Indeed, this is a childish request. Her gaze drooped and landed on her fingers: "But for me, the legend of the cultivator is the bedtime story of my childhood, the existence I once longed for. Like a religious believer, he has spent his entire life hoping to bring God's will to God. ”
The feelings described by the other party were beyond his comprehension, so he listened politely.
"The purpose of the Diving Workshop is to find a way for ordinary people to break through their own potential, and in the end, they are just a group of ordinary people who want to become cultivators. Her right hand unconsciously stroked a bracelet on her left wrist: "Originally, I thought that the cultivators in the world had disappeared completely after that battle, until I met you. ”
Charlotte raised her eyes, but her gaze skipped over Jiang Chen and stretched out in the distance: "In the Diving Research Society, in order to pursue the power of cultivation, someone once participated in some investigations, but he never came back. In my opinion, practitioners are fundamentally a completely different species from us, and there are many things that cannot be forced. ”
Jiang Chen's expression also became serious, no matter what, the other party seemed to have a very contradictory feeling towards the cultivation world: "But when you find me, it's actually a kind of forcible request, isn't it?"
"Yes. Unexpectedly, the other party suddenly admitted: "I know I can't ask for it, so I never expected to get extraordinary power." But on the contrary, I never gave up on getting in touch with practitioners in the past. My purpose in looking for you is to get to know you better through my means. ”
"Why?" was the third reason he asked after seeing the woman.
"I want to know what kind of beings are cultivators. Charlotte's gaze finally fell on him: "Maybe it's my small and cowardly thoughts, but I believe that cultivators are also ordinary people, I want to see and observe with my own eyes, I don't believe that there is a god in the world." ”
Jiang Chen subconsciously continued: "Cultivators are not gods. ”
It was during this time of life that the thoughts that existed in his subconscious. More than once, he asked himself, what kind of existence is a practitioner, and the current answer is that apart from the existence of "spirits", he is no different from any ordinary person.
"But. The woman's expression suddenly became a little complicated, as if she was a little lonely and nostalgic: "Some people believe that you are gods. And in pursuit of divine power, he may have lost his life. ”
Jiang Chen noticed that in her words, she began to gradually replace "cultivators" with "you".
"Is it about the one you said, investigating the missing person?" almost in a flash of inspiration, he connected the context of what the other party had said.
It's just that Charlotte didn't answer his question, just looked him deeply in the eyes: "I just want to be an observer." As if remembering something, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "In exchange, if you need it in the future, I can mobilize my resources to help you, as long as you are willing to trust me." ”
All the reasons that the other party said were too emotional, and Jiang Chen didn't even know what benefits she would do to herself after she did this.
Jiang Chen couldn't trust Charlotte's behavior of approaching him without any real needs and being willing to take the initiative to help him. He had secretly made up his mind in his heart to return to the absolute party like this.
was about to speak, but was interrupted by a crisp girl: "Wait." ”
The voice came from behind him, and when he looked back, he found that it was Xia Mai who came over at some point.
The girl squeezed him inside very naturally, and sat on the chair next to him: "Your request, we accepted." After that, he stretched out a hand and shook hands with the other party with a serious face.
Jiang Chen was speechless, when did this person come over?
Charlotte was stunned for a moment. Obviously, the other party's eyeliner and connections cannot be placed in Boyang Academy or Thirteenth Middle School, so they don't know much about Xia Mai's identity. However, her purpose was achieved, so she also reached out to shake hands with Xia Mai.
Unexpectedly, the girl moved slowly, and threw something that was originally in her hand in the palm of the other party's palm.
It was a white pill, round in shape, without any logo.
"But there is a premise, that is, you eat it. Looking at the other party's puzzled look, the girl's expression was very indifferent. If it weren't for Jiang Chen, who was very familiar with her, I am afraid that she would have to be frightened by her expression like a master in the world.
And what is this inexplicable pill for? Jiang Chen asked Xia Mai with his eyes, who knew that the other party didn't look at him at all.
I thought Charlotte would hesitate a little and at least ask about the efficacy of the pill. Who knew that she didn't hesitate to throw it into her mouth and drank the coffee that was left in her cup.
And just as Charlotte was pouring herself coffee, from behind her, Jing Yu seemed to pass by unintentionally and walked towards the bathroom.
It's just that Jiang Chen clearly saw that the moment the two staggered, something seemed to be pasted on Charlotte's back.
Well...... He secretly thought in his heart: I am afraid that these two people have discussed the result on the side just now, and they will do it at this time, fortunately it is his own person, otherwise he will be sold by these two people, I am afraid that he will have to help them count the money......
So the next thing, Xia Wheat and Charlotte quickly reached a consensus.
Charlotte is allowed to get up close and personal with them, but the contents are not to be known to anyone else. Charlotte, on the other hand, is subject to the Xia family's surveillance and control of her life, and agrees to provide all the information she can get without reservation.
Jiang Chen couldn't understand what she wanted from them, and she was willing to put herself completely under the control of the other party.
......
It didn't take long for Charlotte to leave first, and Jingyu also sat down.
"What did you discuss and agree to her request?" Jiang Chen held back for a long time before finally speaking.
Jingyu looked at him: "It's not negotiable." ”
Jiang Chen looked at Xia Mai, and the girl smiled shyly: "You think too much, it's all my own decision, Jingyu is just helping me to put a curse!"
He was completely speechless, and said that it was a small script he acted by himself for a long time, and the emotional family Jingyu didn't care about this mess at all!
"I don't trust him. He said bluntly.
The girl nodded: "I don't trust it either." The slender finger pointed in the direction where Charlotte left: "But, I've taken the medicine and cursed, so I'm guess it's fine." ”
"What kind of medicine is that?" Jiang Chen still felt a little shuddered when he thought of the medicine this person gave Charlotte: "Do you Xia family members feed people medicine at every turn?"
Who knew that Xia Mai actually laughed, as if he had heard something particularly funny: "Hahaha, what kind of medicine is there, it's the vitamin tablets I carry with me! Do you really believe that I can control other people's life and death with a pill?"
Seeing Jiang Chen looking at her with a ghostly expression: "Don't scare and scare her, I'm just afraid that she will be dishonest! You also saw it just now, just pour coffee into it, and nine times out of ten it is really eaten as poison!"
He can see that he understands that if he offends anyone, don't offend this woman. Xia Mai didn't finish laughing, and asked again: "You say, will she think that I gave her some fairy elixir......
"Alright. Jiang Chen interrupted her nonsense: "You can tell me now, why did you promise her?"
Listening to his words, the girl was immediately colored: "The information she can mobilize is very powerful, and it can be said that we have encountered the best opportunity to obtain information in so long." As he spoke, he drew a circle on the table with his fingers: "If this part represents the information we can obtain, and this part represents the information of the soulless realm, then the intersection between the two parts is very small. After a pause, he continued, "In other words, due to historical reasons, there is an asymmetry between us and the Soulless, and the information we can investigate is very limited. ”
"And whether it's seeking the truth about you, or thinking about the safety of the future, it's never a bad thing to have an extra companion of the Spiritless. ”
After that, he looked at the other person and laughed: "And we put a surveillance spell on her, and the situation is under control, right?"
Jing Yu, who was sitting on the side, nodded obediently.
Jiang Chen, who was still skeptical about Xia Mai's decision, also began to think about the possibility in her words.
Indeed, although there was a certain danger in letting Charlotte get close to him, the other party had basically confirmed the identity of their cultivator, and it was better to take her situation into his own hands than to refuse the other party's request.
However, just letting the summer wheat control the situation, somehow, is a little unpleasant!
