Chapter 44: ‘Forever Eighteen’

Ye Lan hesitated to speak. He didn't even know what to say in the draft.

Well... I seem to be one of the 'outsiders' too, right?

The old man seemed to have thought of something. He gave Ye Lan a complicated look and spoke after careful consideration.

"Sorry, I got a little emotional. I wasn't talking about you."

Ye Lan nodded slightly, but he didn't really care.

People are already in such misery...what else do you want?

"Now that the problem of this matter has been found, you see..."

The old man also came to his senses.

Yes, the other party has completed the commission, and it can even be said that it has exceeded the commission. For a moment, he even felt a little embarrassed.

"Um...is the money a little short? The content of my commission is to find the cause and pay 20 fog blue coins, but you seem to have solved the problem before..."

Ye Lan glanced at him, her emotions didn't seem to be fake, she took a few breaths to consider and shook her head.

"No, that's it."

This is of course not because Ye Lan can't afford to show off his wealth, but although this incident was received through the commission board and the publisher was this old man, it is actually a major event that concerns the entire sewage town.

He only received 20 mist blue coins for this money. It felt like he had lost money, but in fact he was giving the other party a debt of gratitude, or even a debt of gratitude to the entire Sewer Town. He didn't want to owe Arthur too much. It is consistent with the basic idea of ​​renqing.

I no longer have to pay for my original urgent needs - clothing, ammunition, vehicles, and even gas money, and next week's rent has already been paid in advance. Regardless of his weekly salary of 21 fog blue coins, after using the 20 coins to pay the final payment, he would still have ten fog blue coins in circulation. Now it can be said boldly that there is no shortage of money for the time being.

"...Thank you then. Your commission has been completed. I have pledged the reward to the town guard. You can just go back and find Arthur to claim it."

The old man hesitated for a moment and didn't say anything else. It seemed that he was really nervous now.

"But you are really kind to me, and I will never treat you badly. When this wave of peppers matures, I will bring you a cart... No! I will bring you a cart of the best ones stored in the warehouse, last year!"

Yelan:......

No need to.

But after thinking about it, Ye Lan didn't refuse.

I will definitely go to many places in the future. If I need to give a gift or something, I would give this specialty. It should be very popular, right?

After thinking about it, Ye Lan showed the old man a small stone dug out of the ground and said.

"Then I'll take this thing away first, otherwise I won't be able to follow up on the follow-up investigation."

The old man was confident and nodded.

"Of course, of course! You don't even dare to ask for this thing even if you give it to me! If my little field withers away again, I really won't be able to survive!"

Expectation filled his eyes.

"You...will catch the murderer, right?"

Ye Lan was stunned, not daring to make such a promise. After all, for him, there are too many things to do now. With this matter unfolding to this point, he can already be said to be conscientious.

"The town guard will do their best," he said.

It's not like he is the only one in the town guard... Arthur himself can't ignore this matter.

Of course, he added silently in his mind.

'If the murderer hasn't left Sewage yet'.

After saying goodbye to the old man, Ye Lan returned to the road, turned the key, and put it into neutral. When the accelerator clicked, Ye Lan took out the walkie-talkie and pressed the button.

"Arthur, I have something to talk to you about. I'll go back to the town guard office when it's convenient."

After receiving a quick response from the other party, Ye Lan put down the walkie-talkie, shifted gears, cranked the accelerator, and sped towards the town guard building.

There are still many doubts about this matter. For example, what is this and why it degrades plants? And who is that person, and why did he attack Sewage Town?

What deserves Ye Lan's most attention... is why he attacked Sewage Town at this time?

What is going to happen in Sewage Town that will plunge the place into a whirlpool like a storm at this moment?

As long as he tells Arthur, then Arthur will never give up on pursuing this matter. Then he will be able to get all kinds of feedback on this matter by himself, and further enrich the intelligence and information he currently has.

boom!

The fast speed along the way attracted a lot of attention. The town's roads are small and not spacious, but there are too few people, which allows Ye Lan to ride freely.

boom……

The motorcycle stopped steadily in the courtyard of the town guard. Ye Lan opened the door and got off the car, and went straight upstairs.

Well...it feels like going home.

But just as he was about to arrive at the office, Ye Lan suddenly stopped as he passed the bathroom.

He looked in the direction of the bathroom, where there was a mirror facing him.

When the mirror reflected her own face, Yelan felt something was very wrong.

Not narcissistic by any means, but...what's the matter with being so handsome?

Her skin is soft and smooth, as if she has returned to her prime, and is younger than she is now.

Wait... how many years younger?

Ye Lan suddenly changed color and immediately stepped into the bathroom.

I'm afraid no one would be unwilling to become younger. The question is, why do you become younger?

Everything I just experienced is still fresh in my mind. Plants are degenerating forward because of this thing, so people...

"Holy shit!"

The urgency of the situation made Ye Lan unable to care about more. He closed the door behind him and summoned the Spirit Cat.

"Kitten! Look quickly, am I not right?"

"Meow?"

The figure of the kitten flashed, stood on the shoulder and looked around. He did not feel any prying from others, turned into a physical body, looked at the mirror, and uttered a surprised and surprised sound.

"Ah! You are more handsome!"

Ye Lan: ...

I know, but this is not the most appropriate reaction now, right?

But then, Ye Lan looked at the Spirit Cat and felt a little strange.

"You seem to have become a little smaller?"

The Spirit Cat turned around in front of the mirror and even posed twice, as if admiring his beauty.

"Yes, yes! That's great, meow! In this way, can I be forever. Well, in human terms, I will be 18 forever?"

Ye Lan...

Is there something wrong with your focus?

"No, how can I stop it?"

It's not that I don't want to be young, but that I am already very young. If it steals some more time, it will be funny if Arthur sees himself as a primary school monk.

"Meow..."

The Spiritual Cat seems to have finally realized this and faced the matter squarely.

Returning to youth is definitely a good thing, but if it can't stop and returns to childhood, it will be a big problem.

That means losing combat effectiveness and even losing the ability to move!
