I Became a Heartthrob After A Job in Quick Transmigration - Chapter 78
Ye He couldn’t help thanking Windsor for his loud voice, so he didn’t have to try his best to eavesdrop.
Aware of the sight cast by the passers-by because of Windsor’s words, the mayor frowned, with a bit of anger in his expression: “What do you mean?”
The man beside the mayor was silent. His ordinary appearance was unimpressive. The attention of the Windsor group was on the mayor, and only Andersey’s thoughtful gaze fell on the man.
The other two players pretended to hold Windsor, but did not scold each other. The cameraman stood there dumbfounded, watching this scene in confusion.
Seeing the mayor’s appearance, Windsor became more and more angry, and she said coldly: “You know what I mean, is my companion’s death related to you?!”
What, someone died again? !
Ye He was shocked, he had never heard of this news. He looked at Bob subconsciously, and found that Bob was also confused.
Ye He said to the system uncertainly: “This is the… fourth person who died this month in the town?”
System: [No wonder there are few people in the town. 】
Although he couldn’t hear the mayor’s words clearly, Ye He guessed that the mayor should be defending after seeing Windsor being pulled by his companions and unable to rush forward.
Similar to what Ye He thought, the mayor was indeed making a quibble at this time. Even when he heard Windsor’s accusation, his expression was not in a hurry: “I know it is difficult for you to accept the departure of your companions, but this matter has nothing to do with me, the evidence is there, and I am trying my best to help you find and kill Murderer of dead comrade.”
“And you and I met by chance. You are here to shoot the town’s promotional video. I thank you for being too late. What reason do you have to harm your companions?”
He spoke in a high-sounding manner, and Lilian, who was standing beside Windsor, couldn’t help but ask, “Then why don’t you let us search the town?”
Lilian, who has always been at odds with Windsor, is also on Windsor’s side at this time, but unlike Windsor’s purpose, she, who has been in the copy for a long time, is naturally not for the illusory companionship, but for herself.
The dead companion was Jim, one of the three male players. Lilian felt her scalp tingle when she thought of the other’s death.
Although Windsor’s tone sounded good, the mayor still felt the feeling of being questioned, and couldn’t help but sneer: “If you rashly search the town, it will cause panic among the residents. Of course, as the mayor, I have to take the overall situation as a priority. Heavy, it is impossible for you to disrupt the original stable order of the town. Even if you are people from above, you have to make some sense, right?”
“What’s more, I have done everything I can, and I have a clear conscience.”
He didn’t seem to want to talk to Lillian and the others, so he winked at the man beside him and wanted to avoid it. Unexpectedly, Andersey, who had been silent, suddenly reached out and stopped him.
Andersey blocked the mayor’s path. The mayor had to stop no matter how reluctant he was, and looked at Andersey angrily: “You…”
Unexpectedly, Andersey did not directly accuse him as the mayor thought, and the other party’s eyes fell on the middle-aged man next to the mayor: “Mayor, where are you two going? Haven’t seen it before, are you also an outsider?”
Because of the previous argument, the mayor’s tone was not good: “This is a resident of the town, who usually lives in a secluded place, and now come out with me to do some things.”
Andersey’s eyes fell on the bag the other party was carrying, and the man was staring at him all the time. Although his expression didn’t change, a little nervousness flashed in his eyes. The bag he had been carrying suddenly moved, and although the middle-aged man quickly turned his body sideways, trying to block the bag with his body, Andersey could see it clearly.
The mayor’s peripheral vision was always on the man. At this time, he also noticed the abnormality of the other party, and his tone became a little more anxious: “Don’t talk, we are still busy, you can do it yourself.”
And after his words fell, Andersey also turned sideways to make way.
The mayor glanced at Andersey suspiciously, apparently even he himself did not expect the other party to be so cheerful. But on second thought, he knew that Andersey was obviously a smart man and didn’t want to offend him.
And Ye He noticed that this time the mayor and the man did not go to the next house as originally planned, but left here first, as if they were afraid of being discovered by Andersey.
But what made Ye He even more curious was the death of Andersey’s companion. After all, the strange look on the long-haired royal sister when she mentioned suicide really made him feel particularly curious.
Andersey’s gaze suddenly crossed the shoulders of his companion, and met Ye He.
Ye He realized that he had been discovered by Andersey, and hurriedly showed an apologetic smile to the other party, and withdrew his head from watching the fun.
Seeing the young man shrinking back like a frightened rabbit, Andersey also closed his eyes.
Windsor and Lilian were already around him, and Windsor was staring angrily at the back of the mayor’s departure: “He must know something…”
Andersey saw Windsor with red eyes, and said softly, “There are many people here, let’s go back and talk about it.”
The other party’s gentle tone greatly comforted Windsor, who was about to collapse at this time. She nodded while crying, and was supported by Lillian and walked forward.
Compared to the previous life, the atmosphere in the team was very sluggish this time.
The cameraman followed them a few steps and couldn’t stand the atmosphere. Seeing that there was no need for camera work at this time, he excused himself to wander around and turned around to leave. The other players naturally wanted him to leave the team, and in the end the rest was left. The next few players returned to their temporary houses.
Because there are very few outsiders in the town, there is no place like a hotel, so they can only temporarily live in one family. For safety, every two people live in a room.
Andersey lives with the cameraman, while the remaining two male players live in one room. However, yesterday morning, the sky was already bright, and Aaron, who lived with Jim, had already washed up and was about to go downstairs. He found that Jim was lying on the bed with his back to him, as if he was sleeping.
Aaron called Jim’s name a few times, and when he found that the other party didn’t respond, he walked to the bed subconsciously. In the sunlight, he could faintly see a red silk thread on the back of Jim’s neck that was exposed from the quilt. He didn’t care, but reached out and pushed Jim’s back: “Dude, get up for breakfast!”
However, in the next second, something unexpected happened-Jim turned over and lay flat on the bed, revealing the neatly staggered “red lines” on his body.
Immediately afterwards, his body suddenly split neatly according to the place where the red line was, and blood flowed out of the incision instantly.
When Andersey and the others felt that something was wrong, they rushed up, and what they saw was Jim, who was neatly cut into pieces like a fruit, and Aaron, who was sluggishly standing beside the bed with blood on his face. .
The air was filled with a disgusting smell of blood, as strong as entering a slaughterhouse.
Lilian glanced at it and turned her head with a chill down her spine, while Windsor was so frightened that she burst into tears. Andersey stepped forward with a calm face, looking at the flat human tissue at Jim’s fracture, a hint of coldness flashed across his amber eyes.
And what Aaron saw on Jim was not a red line at all, but a knife edge.
After Aaron reacted, he couldn’t help but vomit, and it took a long time to come back to his senses: “How could…. Who killed him?!”
He still remembered that Jim greeted him normally before going to bed at night, and the two also discussed who had the better figure, Windsor and Lillian…
What’s more, Aaron didn’t sleep deeply, and he could wake up with a slight noise, but he didn’t hear any movement that night, and slept until dawn.
Did someone sneak in and kill Jim while he was washing up in the morning? but…….
Aaron’s mind is messed up.
Andersey glanced at the knife edge: “It can’t be made by humans.”
The incision seemed to have been precisely measured, and every piece of Jim’s body was cut evenly.
Because Uncle NPC is still eating downstairs, he can speak directly.
As soon as his words came out, the expressions of everyone present changed, and they all understood the meaning of Andersey’s subtext.
Instead of being killed by a murderer, that leaves one possibility—Jim was killed by a ghost.
Everyone’s expressions suddenly turned gloomy, and Aaron’s face was even paler. After all, Jim’s bed was only a few centimeters away from him at that time. Rounding up, he also passed by the ghost who killed Jim.
Lillian quickly regained her composure and asked, “Why did you choose Jim? Did we accidentally trigger something?”
It is precisely because they are afraid of accidentally touching the death conditions, so they are very careful even when they go out these days, but they still touch something unknowingly.
But even if they knew there were ghosts in this town, they couldn’t leave, after all, their mission had not yet been completed.
Not long after, the owner and his wife of this house also came up to check the situation because Andersey and his party had not come down again.
Facing the **** scene on the bed, the woman couldn’t help screaming after a while, her eyes rolled over and she fainted, while her husband barely supported her, his legs trembling while calling the mayor .
Because there are no police in the town, they habitually call the mayor when a case occurs.
At that time, the mayor came very quickly. After seeing Jim’s body, his face paled instantly, and he subconsciously took a few steps back, his shoulders shaking violently.
After ten minutes of delay, he recovered from the **** corpse scene in front of him, and began to question the owner of the house and Andersey, and finally concluded that Jim’s death was a homicide.
Thinking of this, Windsor said angrily: “At that time, he was eager to help us catch the murderer. Now that I think about it, it’s really disgusting!”
If it wasn’t for the fact that they didn’t let the mayor take Jim’s body, but thought of burying it by themselves, they would have let the mayor get away with it.
At that time, seeing that the mayor could not persuade them to take the body away, he turned around and wanted to leave. Unexpectedly, Andersey found a line of small words written in blood on one of Jim’s corpses: Quinn.
Quinn was the mayor’s name.
As a player, Jim and the mayor are not related, so naturally it is impossible for him to tattoo the name of the mayor on his body inexplicably.
And the eyes of several people instantly fell on the mayor who was about to leave. Aaron couldn’t contain his emotions, and was the first to shout in surprise: “This… How can there be a name on this?!”
Hearing Aaron’s words, the mayor suddenly showed a nervous look: “How is it possible?!”
He walked over while talking, but when he was about to walk to the bed, the original word “Quinn” on Jim’s body disappeared, and the mayor narrowed his eyes and looked at it with disgust. Naturally, he couldn’t see it. to what name.
The mayor’s face was obviously relaxed for a moment, and he wondered where the words were. Except for the mayor, everyone else had already seen the name clearly.
At this time, everyone present already understood that Jim’s death was inseparable from the mayor in front of him. They proposed to the mayor to search the town for clues to the murderer, but they were also rejected by the mayor.
The mayor didn’t ask for an answer, and he was impatient. He directly asked one last time if he wanted to help dispose of Jim’s body. After getting a negative answer, he turned and left. He didn’t seem to notice the sight cast on him.
After the mayor left, the owner of the house didn’t dare to stay any longer, and helped his fainted wife to go down first. And it wasn’t until there were only a few of them left in the room that Aaron asked, “The mayor… is he a ghost?”
As soon as his words came out, Windsor and Lilian couldn’t help but change their faces. After all, they were dealing with the mayor these days. If the other party was really a ghost, they would almost pass the danger every time.
Andersey shook his head, a soothing smile on his handsome face: “He’s not a ghost, when he saw Jim’s body, his expression also showed fear, it didn’t seem like he knew it from the beginning. .”
Hearing Andersey’s words, the three men were relieved. All their attention was on Jim’s body at the time, but Andersey had been watching the mayor’s reaction.
Lilian looked at Andersey: “Then why does he have the mayor’s name on him?”
Andersey said calmly, “I have a guess.”
“The mayor must have used some method to make Jim die for him.”
“What?!” The three of them looked at each other, but they had to admit that Andersey’s idea was very reasonable – because Jim replaced the mayor, the name of the mayor was on his skin.
It was just this thought that made them hate the mayor’s sinister viciousness even more, and even regarded them as scapegoats.
What scares them the most is that this is probably just the beginning. After all, maybe the mayor doesn’t just need a scapegoat.
Windsor and Jim are people from the same place, and neither have experienced several copies, so they have a lot of common topics. Now that Jim is dead, Windsor’s grief comes not only from fear of the same fate, but also from the loss of half a friend.
Jim’s death has become a shadow on her head, so now when she sees the mayor again, Windsor, who has the worst psychological quality, can no longer control her emotions and directly quarrel with the mayor.
Lillian sighed: “It’s all our fault that we focused on investigating Robert and didn’t notice the mayor’s anomaly.”
Aaron comforted: “After all, our mission this time is related to Robert.”
That’s right, the task of several people in this copy is to find evidence about Robert’s crime, and shooting the town’s promotional video is just their excuse.
But as for what case Robert committed, the mission did not say, and they had to investigate by themselves.
On the first day they arrived in the town, they received a call that Robert was killing people. At that time, several people thought their mission would be completed so soon, so they held back their joy and persuaded the mayor to take them home. To the disappointment of several people, there was only Robert in the villa when they arrived, and apart from being a little messy, there was no murder scene in the living room.
Lillian and the others made another excuse to stroll around the villa, but there was no one else in the house except Robert. And the calls they received were anonymous, so there was no way for a few people to find out who was calling, so they had to treat it as a prank.
They are also hampered when investigating the town. The people in the town have been greeted, and there is no meaning to answer their questions. It was only because of Andersey’s inexplicable attraction to women that some girls revealed some information, saying that Robert had a few friends who had been playing with him all the time, but recently the press corps came, and Robert was not allowed to go out by his father.
It was obvious that the mayor was afraid of something. It was precisely because the focus of the investigation had been on Robert, who was hidden by the mayor, that the group ignored the small actions that the mayor might have made.
The more Windsor thought about it, the more angry she became: “I said there is no reason to hurt us, it must be because I think we are outsiders who are easy to bully, so they treat us as scapegoats!”
If it wasn’t for fear of exposing his true mission, Windsor would have opened his mouth to refute the mayor’s eloquent words just now.
Aaron: “But we don’t know what the mayor did.”
As soon as his words came out, Windsor was a little downcast. This is also what scares them. They don’t know why the mayor can treat them as ghosts, and why the ghosts can come out to kill.
“Andersey, what are you thinking?” Lilian looked at Andersey, who seemed to be thinking, and realized that the other party had been silent for a while.
Andersey came back to his senses and smiled: “The middle-aged man beside the mayor was a little strange. The bag he was carrying moved, and the mayor saw it, and immediately wanted to leave here in a hurry.”
“Yeah, those two people came out of the same shop just now, let’s find a time in the afternoon to ask the shop owner.” Aaron suggested first.
The others naturally had no opinion.
After eavesdropping for a while, Bob had to retract his head because his neck was too short and too tired, so he did not feel the same embarrassment of being caught as Ye He did, but instead pestered the other party to ask what happened.
Ye He sighed: “There are dead people in the town again.”
Bob’s face changed suddenly: “What? Has there been a murderer in our town? What is the first time this month?”
Ye He found that Bob was very interested in things other than studying. Looking at the shivering appearance of the little fat man, although he didn’t know how Andersey’s companion died, he still comforted him: “Didn’t those before commit suicide?”
Unexpectedly, Bob shook his head, glanced around, and said after confirming that there was no one around, “I didn’t have time to say it just now, I heard from my buddy that my goddess and her uncle died very miserably… “
Even things about the goddess’s family had to be heard from others, Ye He felt that the fire of love between Bob and the goddess had been quietly extinguished.
But seeing the high-spirited appearance of the little fat man, Ye He still swallowed hard.
Bob didn’t know what Ye He was thinking at this time, he lowered his voice and pretended to be mysterious: “The night was still fine, when his family called in the morning, they found that he only had a complete human skin left. On the bed, the rest of the fatty liver appeared in the trash can…”
He shuddered as he spoke. Originally, he wanted to scare Ye He, but he did not expect to scare himself first. Seeing that Ye He didn’t panic at all, he instantly cast a look of admiration.
system:【……】
Just looking at Bob’s eyes, he knew that the other party had obviously not experienced what Ye He looked like when he saw a ghost.
Hearing Bob’s words, Ye He also felt a little strange. After all, according to the description of the other party, that person’s death was not like suicide at all.
Bob rubbed his arms: “I suspect that there are really murderers in the town. You should close the door when you sleep.”
Ye He glanced at his table and decided to push the table to the back of the door before going to bed at night.
Bob’s fear came and went quickly, and after a while, he happily ran out to give the goddess a birthday present.
Ye He touched the black cat, looked at Bob’s back, and couldn’t help sighing in his heart: “He is still too young at this time, I don’t know that God has quietly closed a window for him at this time.”
System: […Which window? 】
Ye He’s eyes were faint: “The window where you can’t fall in love with the goddess.”
System: [Actually, your destiny has already marked the price in secret, do you want to know? 】
This was the first time that it took the initiative to talk about its fate in front of Ye He, and there was a bit of coaxing in the unwavering mechanical sound.
This is considered a bad taste before the system, and sometimes tempts the host to go to colleagues to estimate their future and destiny in advance through probability and data. Few hosts can escape this temptation to predict the future, but no host is willing to follow the original destiny.
As soon as he said the words, he regretted it a little, fearing that Ye He would follow the old path of some of the previous hosts.
Ye He asked suspiciously: “Is my life clearly marked, is it 100 per minute?”
For some reason, hearing Ye He’s words, the system actually felt a sense of relief, but still pretended not to care and said: [….Forget it. 】
Ye He’s expression was a little more hopeful: “Is there still room for this price to fluctuate downward?”
System: [The price up and down is called fluctuation, and the price down is called bargaining. Don’t take the opportunity to confuse the concept. 】
It can be considered that he understands why he regretted it just now, and it must be because he realized in advance that Ye He would definitely pick up the plane and bargain.
Ye He’s purpose was mercilessly exposed by the system, and he was suddenly disappointed.
In the afternoon, when Ye He saw Andersey’s group walking in, his body froze.
Whether it was because of the opponent’s appearance or because he had saved himself, Ye He had a deep impression on Andersey.
Andersey greeted him with a smile: “Meet again.”
His gaze fell on the black cat in Ye He’s arms. The black cat also seemed to sense Andersey’s gaze. It leaned forward with its front paws on the table, as if it wanted to catch its prey and was ready to go. Little leopard. However, it soon realized that one of its paws was wrapped, and when Ye He glanced over, it immediately put away the paw and returned to its weak appearance.
Andersey had a panoramic view of the black cat’s movements, and a few thoughts flashed in his eyes.
Ye He didn’t expect that the other party still remembered him, so he was flattered and greeted him.
The system whispered a demon in his ear: [After all, you were just caught peeking this morning. 】
Ye He: “……”
Fortunately, Andersey didn’t mention what he peeked, but asked warmly, “Mayor mayor came here before, didn’t he?”
Although he was inquiring, Ye He inexplicably heard a certain meaning.
Ye He understood that the other party should have seen the mayor leave from him at that time, so he knew that denial was useless, so he simply nodded.
Andersey was not surprised by Ye He’s answer, while Aaron beside him asked anxiously, “What did the two of them say? Tell us now!”
Before he could finish his words, he noticed Andersey’s gaze was looking over, and he suddenly realized that his tone was a little stiff.
Andersey looked at Ye He apologetically: “Sorry, his tone is a little anxious, because this matter is really important to us.”
Because Andersey saved himself, Ye He said honestly: “They didn’t say anything, they just came in and walked around, and then said they went to the next house and left.”
He paused and added his guess: “I think they should be looking for something.”
Windsor looked disappointed: “That’s it? They didn’t say anything?”
Ye He nodded: “The mayor broke in suddenly, so I was caught off guard and didn’t ask anything.”
Hearing Ye He’s words, Andersey paused and asked suddenly, “Then did they take anything out of the bag?”
Ye He: “By the way, there is something like a compass, which was put into the bag by the middle-aged man beside the mayor.”
Hearing Ye He’s words, Lilian and the three standing behind Andersey suddenly showed a look of surprise.
Ye He’s words confirmed Andersey’s guess. It was obvious that there was something wrong with the middle-aged man. Perhaps he was the helper that the mayor had found.
As long as they catch the middle-aged man, they may be able to get rid of the situation of being treated as a scapegoat by the village chief.
Looking at the inexplicably excited people, Ye He couldn’t help but wonder if what he just said was “Come on”.
Andersey thanked Ye He, causing Ye He to wave his hand a little embarrassedly: “No…”
His words were suddenly interrupted by cries. Hearing this familiar business, Ye He said in his heart: [Sure enough…]
Hearing this painful wolf howl, the whole group turned their heads and saw that a little fat man was crying while struggling to cross the threshold, and went straight to Yehe: “Brother Revere, I…I Goddess of…”
He was obviously at a loss for words, and burped several times.
Ye He said calmly: “I am with your brother.”
Ye He was not surprised by the fate of Bob’s love. After all, the moment he heard “Dude” from his mouth, he knew that the other party’s love was doomed to be rough.
“Almost, they went to the park with me behind their backs.” The little fat man choked and stopped crying: “But Brother Revel, how do you know, do you have this experience too?”
Ye He: “…Of course not.”
System: [Yes, you don’t even have love. 】
Seeing that the little fat man looked at him with sympathy, Ye He justified his name: “I just understand love.”
When Windsor and Lilian heard his words, they immediately cast a surprised look, apparently treating Ye He as a deeply hidden scumbag.
Windsor covered her mouth and whispered, “I really didn’t see it…”
Lilian also glanced at Ye He several times: “I hate scumbags the most!”
Although he couldn’t hear what Windsor and Lillian were whispering, it didn’t prevent Ye He from feeling the strange gaze cast on him, making Ye He a little confused.
Bob was so engrossed in grief that he didn’t notice the presence of anyone else.
He put the issuing card in his hand on the table: “She didn’t accept my gift, and I don’t want to see this issuing card again, Brother Revere, I’ll give it to you.”
He has made up his mind to say goodbye to this love. After crying tonight, he still smiles and blesses the goddess and buddies, and he doesn’t want to see the card that witnessed his love failure.
It was a delicate hairpin with a cute little pillow on top of all of Bob’s pocket money, but it didn’t end up on the head of his beloved goddess. Because the price was very high for Bob, it would be a pity to lose it, so he decided to give it to Ye He.
Of course, Ye He couldn’t want to issue the card, he grabbed the card on the table and wanted to return it to Bob: “I don’t…”
He doesn’t need a card.
As soon as Ye He’s fingertip touched the hairpin, he heard the sound of the system in his ear: [Ding——Congratulations to the host for obtaining the binding item——]
[This item is successfully bound to you. 】
What? This little hairpin turned out to be a prop? !
Although he didn’t know what it was, but when he heard that he was bound to him, Ye He changed his words: “I didn’t know you knew me so well!”
The author has something to say: [If Ye He really goes to fortune-telling]
When fate is he, Ye He: It’s really accurate
Destiny Be, Ye He: Sure enough, there should be no feudal superstition
Note: The original words of a dialogue between the system and Ye He were: “She was too young at that time to know all the gifts that fate gave her, and she had already marked the price in secret.” The Queen of Heads.
