"What kind of person is Vasily?"

Brock asked.

Across from her sat a well-dressed young lady wearing a black wool coat with a soft pink long-sleeved shirt and a thin gold necklace around her white neck.

This woman, Yanjing, is the young lady of a large trading house owner in Crystal City, and is now on vacation in Yaocheng.

It took a lot of effort for Bullock to find this opportunity to meet her.

Yan Jing gently stirred the tea in the cup with a silver spoon, as if she was recalling something, and her young and smooth face showed a somewhat confused, and seemed to have a clueless expression, and her lips couldn't help but purse slightly.

This beauty is none other than Vasily's former lover.

Yanjing said, "You're a werewolf, aren't you?" Do you work in the Investigation Bureau? ”

"No, I'm not a werewolf, nor am I an agent for the Reconnaissance Bureau."

Bullock was accustomed to this kind of question, and he declared to the other party, "I am an orc from Chau Island, a private detective. ”

"Orcs...... Canines? Yan Jing suddenly said: "Why are you asking about Vasily?" What happened to him? ”

"I was entrusted by my employer to look for Mr. Vasily, because Mr. Vasily has been missing for a long time, so after inquiry, I found you, Miss Yanjing."

"Can you tell me who hired you?"

"It's a matter of employer's privacy, and I can't tell you."

"Can you tell me if it's a man or a woman?"

"I'm sorry."

Yan Jing also seemed to realize that this was a bit rude, so she turned to say, "I don't have any other ideas, it's just that I haven't contacted him for a long time." I don't know how he's doing now, is he married? ”

"As far as I know, not."

Bullock said patiently: "Mr. Vasily seems to be preoccupied with the study of talismans, his private life, and I have not heard of him having any other lovers after you. ”

"Is that so? That's the kind of guy he is...... Completely immersed in it, just leave it alone. ”

There was a certain look of pleasure and reassurance on Yan Jing's face.

Brock knew that in order to obtain information, there must be an exchange of information between them.

So for Yanqing's questions, he is not stingy when he can answer them.

It can be seen that Vasily's former lover still has some kind of affection for him. It's not necessarily love, it can be a subtle nostalgia between a friend and a lover, or it can just be a possessive one.

Bullock has a lot of experience with this.

"In my memory, Vasily was always easily distracted, he would talk to me and then suddenly froze. Sometimes when we are in the car, he will be alone in a daze, which is hard to predict. ”

Yan Jing took a sip of tea.

"You ask him what he's doing, he doesn't know himself, and sometimes he forgets everything around him. We met in engineering college, and that afternoon I was looking at the newly planted roses in the school, and he was watching it, and I was about to drive home in the evening and found him still there. ”

"He has been like this since he was a child, and he can enter a daze at any time, most of the time unintentionally. He can also take the initiative to adjust into that state, thinking about nothing, not caring about anything, just letting himself become a blank. ”

"It's a gift. When you are unhappy and troubled in life, you can empty yourself in this way and cut off the connection with your surroundings. It's really enviable to be able to escape so effectively and quickly. ”

A sweet smile appeared on Shiojing's face.

Bullock said, "May I ask, Miss Yanqing, how did you meet?" ”

"Rose, rose."

She spoke in a relaxed tone.

"I majored in trade and theology at school, rose gardening as an elective, and Vasily also took rose classes. The roses he planted were strange, they would grow like spirals, and they would be colored. However, he was also scolded by the teacher because of this, saying that this method of grafting, transplanting and magic transformation will lead to the deformity of roses, and may also mutate into unpredictable varieties, bringing danger. ”

"The shape of the flowers is related to the soil and the angle of light, and in this way, Vasily transformed the roses into that wonderful appearance...... Rainbow roses, that's not a variety, but it impresses me. I thought it was interesting, so I went to ask him for advice, and that's how we got to know him. ”

"Vasily had a blind sister, Yelena, who always dreamed that she had seen rainbow-like roses, but the child was born unable to see, neither a rainbow nor a rose. Vasily wanted to grow rainbow roses and give them to his sister when she regained her light. ”

Yan Jing leaned back in the chair, and the gold-rimmed red rose earrings swayed lightly under her earlobes.

"Vasily was a very bold man, and after he met me, he quickly took a rose and told me that he liked me and hoped that I could also go out on a flight with him."

"I remember he took a wand made of many red rose petals, not very big, but big enough for us to sit together. He proudly showed me the results and was very eager to get my opinion. ”

She recalled: "When the wand flies, it emits petals that look like the tail of a meteor, and it looks beautiful, but it just can't fly very far." ”

"When he says go out and fly, it's really just flying...... Later, we crash-landed together in the mountains to repair our wands, and we were choked by the rain. ”

"It's very relaxing to be with him, and it's a pleasure to meet someone like that, even if it's just a journey together."

"But don't get me wrong, I didn't miss Vasily, and it was I who later proposed to break up. He's a very good lover, and if I stay at eighteen forever, I'll probably be with him forever. But if he wants to get married, he is by no means a good partner. ”

Brock nodded.

The young lady in front of her knew exactly what she wanted.

The desire to be able to calmly and freely say what you need and confess yourself is not an easy task for many people.

"Vasily had a fear, he always felt that the sky would fall."

When he said this, Yan Jing's expression was serious: "He feels that this world has become lush and expanding because of the existence of the gods, and there is too much need for the gods, and the gods will also be tired...... Because Lord Yaoshen used to manifest spirits often, now he has sent down oracles less and less, and the reason is that there are too many worlds that Lord Yaoshen needs to take care of. Like a gardener tending to roses, the gods get tired. ”

"Vasily was obsessed with talismans, and he wanted to use the power of talismans to observe the gods."

"He also wanted to suddenly appear in front of Yao Shen and surprise the god, this is what he wants to do."

"Later, I broke up with him, and he went there to study after getting a scholarship from the [Magic Convent], thinking that it was also for his sister. For him, the most important thing is to restore his sister's sight...... You say he's missing? ”

"Yes, Mr. Vasily spent 5 years in the monastery and then disappeared," said Blok. ”

"Gone? Don't say goodbye? ”

"No, just one day, he disappeared into a house in the monastery, leaving behind only the [Rose Talisman] he had written—which had been determined to be an astonishing invention."

"Rose Talisman? He still loves roses so much......"

Yan Jing couldn't help but laugh, her focus was not on the talisman.

"It's really like what Vasily would do, usually he looks ordinary, even a little silly. But sometimes he comes out of nowhere, and it's always hard to forget him. ”

These words reminded Bullock of another person he had met.

It was Vasily's sister, Yelena.

Her description of her brother is completely different from that of Yanjing.

"He was very infatuated with the woman, but the woman was just playing with him, and I could feel it just by listening to my brother's description. She's not a good woman. ”

Yelena's eyes have been healed.

She has fine yellow hair, but her eyes are so sharp that she can't see the long-term blindness she had seen before.

For her brother's lover, she showed undisguised hostility and hatred.

"What my brother thinks is that if he can make a great talisman and get the approval of the gods, then he will definitely be able to stay with him for a long time without any worries, and he will not have to worry about the pressure of his family."

"But the woman was just playing with his feelings."

Yelena snorted.

Bullock changed the subject: "So when was the last time you saw your brother?" ”

"It was the end of December last year."

Yelena recalled: "There was a small exhibition of dried flowers in the Resurrection Kingdom, and I was a horticulturist who was sent over by the flower estate that hired me. I met my brother, who seemed to be in good spirits, but as thin as ever, but not badly nourished. ”

"He told me about the progress of the talisman, and said that the [Rose Talisman] can help many people who don't understand talismans at all, so that they can use them immediately. Because he made functional sentences one by one, as long as those sentences are copied, many functions can be achieved. ”

The girl whispered, "He wants to make a lot of jewelry-like tools out of magic talismans, so that casting spells is very simple, and even complex spells can be completed with just the touch of his fingers." ”

Bullock asked, "That is, Vasily shows no signs of leaving. ”

"Nope. Where can he go? ”

The orc detective nodded, jotting it all down in his notebook, "Have you seen that Miss Yanjing?" ”

"When I regained my sight, they were separated, but I had seen the woman's crystalline appearance, and she was indeed beautiful, otherwise she would not have dazzled my brother...... My brother has always been obsessed with her. If you look for that woman, you might know something. ”

Yelena suddenly said, "Is my brother dead?" ”

"It's just missing at the moment."

Bullock said.

"And who hired you to find out my brother's whereabouts?"

"Sorry, it's employer privacy."

The detective got up and pressed the brim of his hat: "So, thank you for the news, do you have a wind mother?" ”

"Yes." Yelena took out a shiny stone from her small backpack.

Now this is the most popular communication tool of the Yao people.

The two wind mothers touched, leaving a sound. As long as that voice is triggered, both parties know that the other is looking for them.

"So, if there is any news, please notify me."

Bullock took his leave.

Yelena didn't seem to know.

The treatment she received, and the funding behind it—and even the direction of the project that financed Vasily in the monastery—came from the young lady.

This is also the news given by the employer.

Bullock's job this time is mainly to determine one thing.

Is Vasily an illegal demon after all?
