The night arrived as promised.
Just when Qin Ran hung up the small blackboard, Amy rushed in impatiently.
In fact, as early as in the afternoon, Emmy was waiting outside the 'Leaf Restaurant'.
She is very scared.
Also very curious.
Fear and the unknown, like two twin vines, began to grow in her heart, and various speculations came one after another.
"What's going on?"
Amy sat in front of the bar and asked Qin Ran.
"As you can see, that's it."
Qin Ran turned on the TV and tuned to the evening news channel before turning around and answering.
"What is that?!"
"And before!"
"Did something happen to Sheriff Teddy here the night I got drunk?"
Amy, who was able to get into the top ranks of the newspaper at this age, was definitely not an idiot. On the contrary, she was extremely intelligent, especially on the premise of not drinking, and with the convenience of her status, she gradually found some clues.
Qin Ran was not surprised by this.
So, Qin Ran nodded.
"Um."
"It's also your personal experience."
"It's just that you were too drunk at that time."
Qin Ran picked up the newspaper as he spoke.
Amy was silent.
Although she had been psychologically prepared for a long time, Amy still couldn't accept the confirmation from Qin Ran at this moment.
Because, this completely subverted her world.
In her cognition, people die when they die.
With death, everything dissipates.
Be it love or hate.
They all disappeared without a trace.
But everything last night was telling her that death was not the end, but the beginning of another kind. If it wasn't for her strong psychological quality, she would have gone crazy at this time.
Whew, wheeze.
Facing the shock, Amy's breathing became heavy.
"Give me something to drink."
Amy said.
"No wine, only chicken soup."
Qin Ran emphasized.
"Yes, chicken soup is also fine, as long as it is drinkable."
Amy spoke very quickly.
Qin Ran put down the newspaper, filled a bowl of chicken soup and handed it to the other party.
Without a spoon, Amy just picked up the chicken soup, regardless of the temperature, and drank it with one mouth.
"Hiss! Hot! Hot!"
As soon as her tongue touched the chicken soup, Amy cried out for pain.
"Anxiety and irritability can't change anything, it will only make things worse and worse."
"So, peace of mind and calmness are the basis for solving things."
As Qin Ran spoke, he moved the chicken soup bowl inward.
This was chosen by Mimosa, and it is considered one of his private properties. If it is broken, it will be bad.
"I know."
"I should calm down."
"However, if you encounter ghosts, the dead, or ghosts, can you calm down?"
Amy asked back.
Even, speaking several nouns.
"able."
Qin Ran said firmly.
Amy looked at Qin Ran in astonishment, not because she didn't believe it, but because she was curious why Qin Ran was so straightforward.
"Because I don't want to die."
Qin Ran said lightly.
"But death is not... isn't it possible for everyone to become like De Ott after death?"
As soon as Amy opened her mouth, she reacted quickly.
"It's not just that."
"Just like there are good people and bad people."
"The same goes for the dead."
Qin Ran said.
"So, you're the one who deals with the 'bad' parts of the dead?"
"You watch TV and read newspapers, are you collecting information?"
"Don't you have a similar organization?"
Amy expressed her guess.
"I'm not, but someone is."
Qin Ran shook his head.
"who is it?"
Amy's eyes sparkled.
That is the excitement of professional journalists.
"Are you sure you want to see him?"
Qin Ran asked back.
"I should like to see that gentleman, if I may."
Amy answered.
"Even if you lose some memory, don't you care?"
Qin Ran continued to ask.
"lost memory?"
"You mean?"
Amy was startled, and looked at Qin Ran uncertainly. After seeing Qin Ran nodding, the female reporter couldn't help but stood up, and subconsciously wanted to reprimand, but then thought of something, and the female reporter slumped sat down.
"Some secrets can never be known to everyone."
"Because that would break order."
"But we should have..."
Amy sat there and muttered to herself in a low voice.
It's like the belief of believers is collapsing.
"I don't know, in many cases, it represents happiness."
"The more you know, the more dangerous you can be."
"How to choose with you."
As Qin Ran spoke, he looked at the other party.
Amy frowned, without looking away.
"What's the meaning."
asked the female reporter.
She is not an idiot, Qin Ran changed his previous indifferent attitude, apart from her factually logging out the matter of De Aote, there should be something else that needs her help.
Rather than a sudden interest in her.
She knew that kind of man all too well.
It only takes one look to tell the difference.
"Do you want to pretend that nothing happened last night and go back to the life of ordinary people?"
"Still cooperate with me?"
"As you can see, I watch TV and newspapers, and I am indeed collecting information, but the speed of my collection is far from being comparable to yours."
"Simply put, I need an assistant to gather information."
Qin Ran said very bluntly.
After discovering the other party's identity yesterday and confirming that the other party's position in the newspaper office is not low, Qin Ran had similar thoughts.
Otherwise, even if the other party truthfully logged the matter of De Aote, Kieran would not be able to tell the other party so many things.
"Are you different from those real... witchers?"
"They're professional."
"And you're an amateur?"
After pondering for a moment, Amy said a term recognized by the public.
"almost."
Qin Ran did not refute.
He is really not a professional.
His current job is to be the owner of the restaurant, and it was just a coincidence to get rid of some dead people.
However, in order to restore his strength faster, he didn't mind letting the spare time occupy the arable land.
Amy did not answer immediately.
After thinking for more than ten minutes, the female reporter spoke again.
"I can be your assistant, but we are equal."
"You can't force me to do anything."
"And I'll do my best to help you."
Amy made her request.
"no problem."
As Qin Ran spoke, he stretched out his right hand.
"Pleasant cooperation."
"Pleasant cooperation."
As soon as Qin Ran's palm touched the opponent's, Amy breathed a long sigh of relief.
At least, Qin Ran has no interest in her.
It's what's best for her.
"Do you have a room here for rent?"
After solving the biggest doubt in her heart, Amy began to solve the biggest problem in front of her eyes.
Amy hadn't returned to her apartment since seeing Deot last night.
For Emmy, a person's life was beautiful before last night.
But after last night, she always felt that there were 'people' around her, 'people' under her feet, and 'people' on top of her head, and there were 'people' everywhere.
This feeling is simply terrible.
She thinks she needs a safe place.
And in Amy's perception, besides Qin Ran's place, is there any safer place
"No."
Qin Ran answered very simply.
"I'm your assistant now."
Amy reiterated.
"But we're equal, you said."
Qin Ran returned the exact words.
"I didn't charge any commission."
Emmy argues.
"When you get some news from the mouth of the dead that should have disappeared in the world, you will get rewards beyond imagination."
Qin Ran was unmoved.
He has too many secrets.
Here, apart from Mimosa, Kieran doesn't want anyone to appear by his side for a long time.
Not even a so-called assistant.
"Then what should I do when I go back at night?"
Amy asked.
"Do what you usually do."
"An electric baton of normal power is enough for you to deal with the troubles you encounter."
"If it's hard to accept, you can still sit here until dawn."
"The seat fee is 100 per night. If you use it for a long time, I can give you a 10% discount."
Qin Ran said seriously.
"Death for money!"
Amy muttered something in a low voice, and then she really took out 200 yuan and put it on the bar.
Emmy's Chicken Soup 100.
Seat fee 100.
Qin Ran picked up the money and put it into the money box.
"Shouldn't you give change?"
Amy frowned.
Amy is very sensitive to numbers.
"Long-term use is 100. If it is only for one night, how can it be considered long-term?"
Qin Ran answered naturally.
"It's only 1 yuan!"
Amy's voice rose a little.
"Accumulate sand to form a tower, collect armpits to form fur. Ten thousand yuan is also composed of ten thousand one yuan. One hundred thousand yuan and one million yuan start from the first one yuan."
"Anyone who underestimates 1 yuan will never become a real rich man."
"Because, they're going to spend the last dollar."
Qin Ran said seriously.
Amy did not refute.
Because she thought so too.
For the next time, Amy sat on the seat and sorted out the materials, while Qin Ran flipped through the newspapers and listened to the TV content.
The time quickly passed the early morning.
At 1:00 am, the program on the TV changed to a recurring TV series.
It is the kind of TV series that can be broadcast continuously for four or five episodes during the winter and summer vacations, and then will be broadcast repeatedly every holiday.
Qin Ran watched such TV dramas with great interest.
Being able to replay it repeatedly is enough to explain its classic.
But no matter how classic it is, it can't stand it. If you watch it too many times, you will get bored.
Emmy certainly did.
"You're such a boring person."
"Not handsome enough."
"I reckon you'll be alone forever."
Seeing Qin Ran looking at it with gusto, Amy couldn't help but said.
Qin Ran didn't argue.
It's a fact that he's boring, he knows it himself.
As for looks
Although there is a system cover, the cover of the system is not a beauty or optimization, but a change based on the original appearance value.
Therefore, he also admitted the ordinary appearance.
And die alone
It's too early to tell about this kind of thing.
So early that he didn't even think about it.
However, just because Qin Ran didn't argue, it doesn't mean that Mimosa will remain indifferent.
After Amy entered the restaurant, Mimosa, who had been listening attentively, finally couldn't help it after hearing this sentence, and Mimosa wearing an apron came out.
Amy's eyes lit up when she saw the mimosa.
Compared to Qin Ran's appearance, Mimosa is exceptionally handsome.
Especially the masculine and tough face, but also the feminine beauty of the girl, attracted Amy even more.
"You are his younger brother, Luo Ye?"
"He's also the chef of this restaurant."
"Are you really brothers?"
"It looks completely different."
Amy stared straight at Mimosa, the burning in her eyes was self-evident.
"The interesting soul weighs more than 200 catties."
"A good-looking skin costs 3,000 a night."
"And the ordinary, boring brother, with me by his side, will not die alone."
"But what about you?"
Mimosa who stood beside Qin Ran showed a gentle and polite smile, and looked at Amy not aggressively, but it put a lot of pressure on Amy.
It was as if the person standing in front of her was not a beautiful boy, but a high-ranking person in power.
She only felt this feeling when interviewing the mayor of Ai City.
Moreover, even the mayor of Ai City did not have such a sense of oppression that was almost suffocating.
"I?"
"Of course I have my plans."
"When I really become famous, I will find an honest man to marry."
Faced with such a sense of oppression, Amy's brain became dull. She wanted to use a more ingenious answer, but the answer she gave had unconsciously fallen into the disadvantage.
It just sucks to feel like this.
It is simply intolerable!
She was suppressed by a young boy and couldn't breathe
What a joke!
Fight back!
Be sure to fight back!
After having such thoughts in her mind, Amy planned to say something more, but when she saw that gentle and polite smile again, the oppressive feeling that made her feel suffocated became stronger, and she It was as if he was facing a king who ruled life and death, and he couldn't even sit still.
"I, I now confirm that you are brothers."
"The way of speaking is really exactly the same."
Holding the bar with her hand, Amy spoke dryly.
Mimosa smiled and said nothing, turned around and handed the thermos cup soaked with goji berries to Qin Ran—I'm just here to deliver water, and I didn't mean to target you.
If you think I'm targeting you.
That is your illusion.
Quite directly, Amy read the meaning from Mimosa's smile.
Inexplicably, Amy suddenly discovered that compared to her handsome younger brother, Qin Ran, who was only indifferent, was so easy to get along with.
"Luo Yan, I..."
"Shut up."
Amy wanted to end the embarrassing atmosphere, so she opened her mouth and said to Qin Ran, but just as she opened her mouth, Qin Ran's whisper sounded in her ears.
I saw Qin Ran staring at the TV.
But at this time, Amy discovered that the TV drama on the TV turned into a black and white picture at some point.
A palm appeared on the screen, half-clenched into a fist, with the back of the hand directed at her, and then... knocked on the screen.
Boom, boom, boom!
As the knuckles of that palm collided with the screen, there was a crisp knock on the door.
Amy's face turned pale.
Every knock seemed to hit her heart.
With the lessons learned from last night, Amy was already frightened.
At this time, she was even more terrified.
She widened her eyes and looked at Qin Ran begging for help.
She wants the professionals out there to address this 'problem'.
Then…
As soon as she saw it, Qin Ran stood up and raised his hand to press the switch of the TV series.
Snapped!
Qin Ran turned off the TV.
