Lord Hunter needs a commission

However, Edmund's death not only brought the event to an end, but also left more questions lingering in Charlotte's heart.

Since when did he start doing this?How did you get that demon out?Also, why did the killer who obeyed him shoot him?

Many questions, all turned into a sigh in the end.

"Why so much?"

Charlotte said mockingly.

"I'm not like a ghost in a novel, I have to interfere in everything, from going to the devil's lair to save the goddess, to helping people run errands and deliver letters."

For some things, it is right not to delve into it.

Just as Charlotte sighed, planning not to mess with the rest, Black Lizard Xing suddenly walked over and said in a very indifferent tone.

"I'm going to look for the sniper's trace, Charlotte, please look at Edmund Downers' body here."

After finishing speaking, even if Charlotte didn't respond, she walked away from Charlotte on her own. When the two passed by, Charlotte could still hear a low cold hum from her. Voice.

"Hello..."

Black Lizard Star ignored Charlotte's shout, but quickened his pace, left quickly, and ran towards the direction of the sniper.

"Really."

Scratching her messy hair, Charlotte glanced at Black Lizard Star's back, turned her head, and looked at the ruins formed by the collapse of a house.

"Come out." Charlotte shouted at the ruins after the black lizard star left the field of vision. "I see you."

At this time, a figure slowly walked out from behind the broken root and broken wall.

It was a blond girl whom Charlotte knew as Heidi Tybelin.

"Miss Heidi, you..." Seeing this girl who should have stayed on the train and went to the next city appear in front of her eyes, Charlotte couldn't help but froze.

At this time, Heidi's clothes were covered with dirt. The original long skirt was torn, revealing her slender thighs. A pair of ladies' leather boots disappeared. There were obvious scars on her white calves.

"Shortly after you left the train, Mr. Charlotte, I jumped off the train and... walked back by myself."

On Heidi's face, which seemed to be in a state of embarrassment, there was still a smile on her face when she first met a few days ago. She walked towards Charlotte without dodging, then passed through him, and came to the In front of the fallen Edmond, he knelt down.

"...I want to ask, how much do you know? Miss Heidi."

"Almost everything."

Heidi calmly answered Charlotte's question, and regardless of the pool of blood on the ground, raised the upper body of the dead Edmund and hugged her in her arms.

"He sent you away, because he didn't want you to be involved?"

"Yes, in the eyes of Downers, I am his adopted daughter... As a 'father', he naturally does not want me as a 'daughter' to be implicated by him."

Holding Edmund's already cold body, Heidi's tone was very calm, without sadness or resentment, and she relaxed as if she had let go of any worries.

"It's just that he regards me as a 'daughter'... but I don't want to regard him as a 'father'." Heidi gently stroked Edmund's face, lowered her head, and kissed him on the forehead one time.

"However, thank you, Mr. Charlotte, for putting an end to his madness."

"I didn't think of killing him," said Charlotte. "What he needs is not a bullet, but a gallows."

"Yes, so Downers chose to die with dignity, because since a long time ago, he no longer believed in the law and the courts, and no longer believed in justice and justice."

Heidi smiled, helped Edmund's back with one hand, and pulled out a jackknife with the other...

...and suddenly pierced into his chest.

PS——I found that even if the explanation of the plot is given in detail, there are still interstellar players... A former classmate, at most, just didn’t read carefully, and didn’t see what I gave in the previous chapter. If you get a hint, then here comes another interstellar player among interstellar players.

Yes, that's right, it's you, the classmate of 7 and 6, you, an interstellar player, are so serious that you don't even see the background I set.

You say Edmund destroyed the city?But I didn't write that the city was destroyed!You said that the government agencies will renege on their debts, and then there is nothing they can do?Get rid of it, have you read my background?And is an official organization cheating with a semi-official organization?You are kidding me!

Of course, you also mentioned that you need to know the motive of the criminal... What kind of Chicken Soup for the Soul plot is this?You are not kidding me! ?

Chapter 82 End

The sharp jackknife was held by the girl behind Charlotte's astonished gaze, and it pierced into the girl's own chest, sinking deeply.

"Miss Heidi."

Charlotte, who was stunned by the scene in front of her, was stunned for a moment, and then exclaimed directly. "You are..."

This is how the same thing?Why?Why did Miss Heidi carry a jackknife, and stabbed herself with the blade, this, this, is she choosing to commit suicide?

Charlotte, whose mind became confused, was extremely puzzled by the situation in front of him, but he didn't think too much about it at this time, and hurriedly rushed over, intending to seal Heidi's wound.

but……

"Ahem, wait...don't." Miss Heidi stopped Charlotte from moving. She tightly held the handle of the jackknife that had been pierced into her chest. Her face became pale, and blood began to ooze from the corner of her mouth.

"What are you doing!?"

"For example, if...you, love...someone deeply, cough cough."

Heidi held the handle of the knife tightly in one hand, and hugged Edmond's cold body as much as possible with the other hand. A sad but happy smile appeared on her pale face, and she spoke word by word to Xia who was in shock. Luo said.

"So much in love, ahem, deep down... in love, unable to separate, but... can't tell, then... ahem, I will do it, the same...choice."

After finishing speaking, Heidi braced herself and hugged Edmund tightly with her last strength.

"Now, no one can separate...you and me..."

The last bit of sound faded away, and then a deathly silence came here, and Heidi also exhausted her last strength, and fell down with Edmund in her arms.

She is dead.

The blood stained her white blouse bright red. The pale girl, with a happy smile that cannot be concealed, lay down with Edmund on this quilt under Charlotte's puzzled and shocked gaze. The shining sentient beings infect the ground into a piece of golden crystal.

Tick, tick, tick.

bang.

The sky darkened, the dull thunder echoed in the sky, and slight silk threads fell from the sky, turning into rain and pouring down. In the blink of an eye, a heavy rain fell on the city.

Perhaps, for this city, the rain came in a timely manner. Even if it could not extinguish the fire that was spreading in the city, it could still prevent the fire from spreading further.

But for Charlotte, at this moment, only a man and a woman who fell to the ground together remained in his eyes.

"What the hell is... what?"

Doubtful and puzzled, why Heidi ended her life with a jackknife at this time, chose to die with Edmund, smiled, hugged Edmond's body, and lay down.

Under the rain, the bright red blood from the two of them mixed together, there is me in you, and you in me, regardless of each other, just like their two cold bodies relying on each other.

Charlotte watched this scene motionless, letting the rain drench her, and after a long time, she let out a sigh of unknown meaning, letting out all her shock and doubts.

He won't care anymore.

He has done enough in this city and what happened here, and all the troubles that will follow have nothing to do with him.

As for whether the question can be answered, he doesn't care, a secret will always be a secret, and a suspense will always be a suspense.

How can a person know everything in his life.

Charlotte turned around, instead of looking at the two people on the ground, she inserted the firearm in her hand into the pockets at both ends of her trousers, then found the remaining windbreaker that was not torn, and then threw it away.

The remaining tattered windbreaker fluttered down from the air, and landed just above the two people lying on the ground without deviation, covering the faces of the man and the woman leaning on each other.

"How is this going?"

There was a sound of hurried footsteps, it was Black Lizard Star, she didn't seem to find any traces of the sniper killing, she returned here, and saw Heidi snuggled up with Edmund on the ground when the windbreaker was under the cover .

"Heidi Tybelin just showed up here and killed herself with a knife."

"what?"

A surprised expression appeared in Black Lizard Star's blue pupils.

"What happened? Martyrdom?"

"...Maybe." Charlotte replied casually, and stepped over her.

"Hey, where are you going?"

"I left all my luggage on the train. If I don't hurry up and go to the next city to get my luggage back, will I be begging back to Livia penniless?"

Charlotte waved her hand and said without looking back.

"What's more, I have to go to Skyrim Province to work and work. I'm not a member of a federal government agency. I can receive wages, allowances and overtime pay, so let's do it!"

"Bye-Bye!"

------------Dividing line------------

Glamorgan.

The city closest to Novigrad used to belong to the counties of a joint empire called Shinra in the old days, but now it is just a small city in the federal society.

The scale here is not even one-third of the city of Novigrad, and the population is only [-] people.

Fortunately, although the city is small, it has all the internal organs, and basically everything that should be there is here.

Charlotte was lucky to find her luggage at Glamorgan's station after a time-consuming and laborious journey to the city on both feet.

Originally, after the train arrived at the station, the station staff who checked the carriages found the luggage in the compartment, and took it to the luggage storage area of ​​Glamorgan Station as passengers' lost items, and finally waited until Charlotte took the train ticket to pick it up.

In this regard, Charlotte felt that she had finally changed her luck.

Although there wasn't much money in the luggage, it was at least enough for him to redress himself in suitable clothes and change out of the almost soaked outfit.

"Well, although part of the funds were posted upside down, but no matter what, it is still not bankrupt."

After booking a room in a small hotel and resting for a night, Charlotte came to the clothing store in the city the next day to change herself into new clothes.

Then, during the fitting, I couldn't help recalling what happened at the last moment in Novigrad, recalling the scene where the young blond girl resolutely stabbed her chest with a knife and died together with Edmund.

"Do you love?"

Shaking his head, Charlotte muttered, and put the money for buying clothes into the hands of the clothing store owner. Regardless of the change, he directly pulled a new windbreaker and put it on his body, carrying the lost and recovered suitcase, walked out.

"Unintelligible, but I can't comment on it."

"Although I don't believe in gods, the only demigods I know are those who don't accept believers, but I still want to say: the original gods bless you, Mr. Edmund Downers and Miss Heidi Tybelin, I hope you will die In the end, you can rely on each other and sleep peacefully forever."

Self-consciously gesticulating the cross on his chest, Charlotte grabbed a brand new train ticket and returned to Glamorgan Station.

Take another shuttle here to a port city, and from there, change to a boat and take the sea to the Northland Skyrim Province.

(③④②⑨⑥⑦④⑥⑤)

PS: Well, for a certain interstellar player....... Let me say this one last time, although I am really too lazy to talk about it.

First of all, Edmund mentioned in the background of the plot was wronged. The reason why lies were not detected was because he was blamed by others, and he was also the leader of the largest family in the city. An ordinary young man, where can you find someone to tell you? Lost detect lies?

Then there is no mention of the setting of the high magic world... Well, from the very beginning, this book has mixed DND's magic system. Of course, if I don't see it, I have nothing to do, isn't it I never said that.

Also, I'm not being unreasonable, it's just interstellar players messing around, asking one after another, of course, if there are more after that, I won't answer, I'm too tired!

Chapter 83 The end of the first volume

Novigrad city.

As a city dominated by industry, after experiencing a catastrophe that spread to the whole city, it has fallen into the brink of complete collapse.

Refusing to complete the statistics, when the disaster broke out, at least two-thirds of the people in the city fell into a deep coma, and the remaining one-third also suffered from fatigue, nausea, nausea and other adverse conditions.

Subsequently, the fire that spread in the city further expanded the number of casualties and property losses on this basis.

And at a later time, as the people who had been in a deep coma woke up and the people in bad situations eased up, riots inevitably spread in the city, beating, smashing, looting and burning. into the abyss of chaos.

Until the garrison outside the city intervened, a vanguard of nearly 1000 troops brazenly marched into the city, forcibly restored the administrative organization of the city government, and then maintained the basics by broadcasting messages, erecting obstacles, and taking to the streets with the police as quickly as possible. It was difficult to control the deterioration of the situation through methods such as maintaining order and cleaning up the rioters with ruthless hands.

During this process, a large number of gangsters and street gangsters were judged as terrorists by the army entering the city and shot and killed on the spot. By the time the army pulled heavy weapons into the city, thousands of people had been ruthlessly killed.

Among them, it is impossible for all of them to be gangsters, and there are many innocent citizens who were instigated by fear, but they were all shot dead without discrimination.

With death and blood, the riot caused by the disaster was temporarily quelled.

But inevitably, the industry in Novigrad has been completely paralyzed.

Industrial machines are not working, no workers are working, there is a shortage of food and water, open fires have not been extinguished, and many houses have collapsed into dangerous ruins.

It may take a long time to recover.
