Chapter 40 Divergences
In the hut of the detective office, Lu Yuan stared at Su Mei's black eyes.
"I believe in you." Lu Yuan said quietly.
Su Mei nodded: "That's easy to say."
Su Mei looked at Lu Yuan: "My idea is."
"Know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles."
...
...
The next day, Lu Yuan and Su Mei came to this world the next day.
It's also September 3rd.
It is already autumn in September, and because of the thick fog that never dissipates all year round, the outside becomes wet and colder.
The sun has always been rare to see.
Lu Yuan and Su Mei hurried beside the fireplace of the detective office, sitting on a chair while reading the newspaper while waiting for Mary's arrival.
In fact, I have read the content in the newspaper many times. Basically, there are news about the same things that the statues in the square are missing, the nurses from Nightingale School set out, and the poets have written some good poems recently.
It makes people feel nothing.
But it's no longer interesting, so I still have to pretend to watch.
Both of them had to watch until Mary arrived.
And Mary was not late.
She came at about 11 o'clock in the morning, before lunch. When the doorbell rang, Su Mei ran away first. When she opened the door, she saw Mary standing at the door, still wearing a black and white maid outfit, looking very energetic.
"It's Mary?" Su Mei said what she should say according to her memory: "Please come in, please come in quickly."
Mary shook her head and stood at the door without coming in: "I want to know the contact information of Miss Cynthia so that I can thank her in person."
Lu Yuan actually waited upstairs for a while before walking down. When he came down, he heard Mary's words, so he asked, "How is your mother's current illness?"
"You may not believe it." Mary's expression of joy suddenly appeared on her face when she mentioned her mother: "After my mother had a nap, she was almost completely cured and was able to get out of bed and cook."
Lu Yuan and Su Mei looked at each other, which showed that Miss Cynthia's spiritual witch ceremony was really useful, but such an unscientific way could cure Miss Mary's mother's illness. This only shows that in this Beckland, in addition to the power of science, there are more mysterious powers.
"Really?" Lu Yuan asked.
"Of course it's true!" Mary could say at the conference: "That's why I want to thank Miss Cynthia. If it weren't for her, then I really don't know what to do."
"Miss Cynthia has already gone to the country of Miracle." Su Mei said.
"Really?" Mary's expression suddenly dimmed: "I even brought a gift."
With this, the condom could take out a shiny stone from his pocket for Lu Yuan and Su Mei to see. The two of them looked at the blue gem and were deeply moved for a moment.
This is a blue gem about the size of a thumb, crystal clear, colorful and shining.
It's really a top gem.
"Where did you get this?" Lu Yuan asked.
"It's a secret!" Mary said with her lips pursed, "But I just got it."
If Mary's gem is rejected now, Mary will take the gem to the Viscount's mansion and eventually infect the Viscountess. If Lu Yuan and Su Mei take the gem, it will lead to Lu Yuan and Su Mei's infection, which will also end the game directly.
This can be said to be the first and most important plot branch point in this reincarnation game.
Accept or reject, this is a question.
"Can you let me see?" Lu Yuan looked at Mary and said quietly.
Mary looked at Lu Yuan, and seemed to struggle in her heart. Finally, she handed her hand to Lu Yuan: "Give it."
Lu Yuan pretended to be nothing and took the shiny stone from Mary. In fact, he was very nervous inside. After all, for a susceptible body like Lu Yuan, Lu Yuan always felt that he was almost done when he touched the gem.
But it has been a bit mature again and again. This is the second time Lu Yuan has come into contact with this curse gem. It is hard and cold, with the charming light unique to the gem, which makes people feel a little unable to help but take it as their own**.
Of course, Lu Yuan also understood that when he came into contact with this gem, his life had already entered the countdown.
"This is a very precious and rare sapphire." Lu Yuan said after pretending to check, "How did you get it? Are you sure you want to use this gem as a gift?"
"Well." Mary nodded vigorously: "Mom said, we want to repay those who have helped us with the best things, then this sapphire is the best thing I can find."
"It's just that I don't know where Miss Cynthia lives, so I can only come to find you."
Lu Yuan listened to Mary's sincere words. At this time, Mary really didn't know what this gem represented. Even herself, who had seen this gem for the first time, didn't know what this gem meant.
If Mary knew that this gem was equivalent to pushing the most important person who helped her into the abyss of death, she would not know how Mary would feel.
"To be honest, Miss Cynthia has left Beckland by boat and can't catch up anyway, but I know that where Miss Cynthia's father lives, we can hand over this sapphire to her father. After all, Miss Cynthia's relationship with her father has been bad for a long time, and this sapphire may become an opportunity for them to reconcile."
"Really?" Mary was instantly happy when she heard this: "If that's the case, that would be great."
"Then please Mr. Lu Yuan, I'm going back to work."
As he said this, Mary bowed hard to Lu Yuan, then turned around and trotted away.
Lu Yuan and Su Mei looked at Mary's back and sighed at the same time.
Lu Yuan then put the gem into his pants' pocket.
"From now on, don't contact me anymore." Lu Yuan said to Su Mei.
Su Mei nodded seriously; "Yes."
Then Lu Yuan turned around and returned to his room. On the way, he was meeting Miss Ke Yao. Lu Yuan greeted Miss Ke Yao and went upstairs without saying a word.
Only Su Mei and Miss Ke Yao were left standing together.
"What happened just now?" Ke Yao asked.
"It's nothing, Miss Mary is here to express her gratitude to us." Su Mei looked at Ke Yao and said softly: "By the way, my father feels a little uncomfortable. I won't have dinner together tonight. Just put the food at the door of his room."
"And," Su Mei continued: "Miss Ke Yao, my father wants to know where to buy firearms in Beckland?"
