"There's something I've been thinking about for a long time, but I don't know how to say it."

"So, I'd like to ask your opinion."

Roger couldn't help but sit up straight.

The gesture of the red-haired girl in front of him couldn't help but think about it too much.

"It's a bit sudden......"

"I promised others about this, and I can't tell anyone else, but I have some hesitation in my heart."

Amanda continued.

Roger listened to it, but felt that it was far from what he had thought.

"Feelings are not here to confess~"

"There's something that's important to me, but there's a price to pay to do it, and it's a terrible price."

"But it's not just me who has to do with it, but also some of my mother's attitudes......"

Roger's face was blank.

Girl, you've said so much, but I don't understand anything.

"Ahem!" Roger cleared his throat.

"You mean to say that there's a very important choice in front of you, you have to choose it, you have to pay some price, and it's hard for you to judge right now, right?"

Amanda nodded.

"But if you don't do anything, are you a little unwilling?"

Amanda nodded again.

"yes, that's it."

"If you don't do anything, will it affect your life now?" Roger asked again.

Amanda thought for a moment and shook her head.

"Then don't choose."

"You're not a gambler, there's no need to gamble your current happiness for something unknown."

"But ......"

Roger reached out and interrupted her.

"I'm your friend, but it's you who make the choices and bear the consequences." He spread his hands.

"That's my opinion."

"Of course, if you're willing to tell me what happened, I might be able to help you more."

Roger always felt that Amanda had become strange since she came back from Swamp Town, but if Amanda didn't say anything, there was really little he could do to help.

Girl, you just missed a perfect opportunity if you confessed, hey...... How can I bear to reject you?

Amanda nodded thoughtfully, the gaze in her eyes gradually becoming determined, and she seemed to have made her choice.

"Thank you, Roger!"

"You're really my best friend!"

"Huh."

Roger let out a dry laugh and sent Amanda out of the room.

"Finished talking?"

Adeline came over with a tray, "I've got some dessert for you too......"

Seeing the smile on Andreine's face, Roger was inexplicably a little weak-hearted, eating other people's people's people, living in other people's houses, do you still want to sleep with other people's ...... now?

Well, it's a bit excessive, indeed.

Adeline pulled out a few banknotes and placed them in Roger's hand.

"Although there is a school that is responsible for your room and board, but you are alone there, there must be a place to spend money, this is your pocket money for the next month, which is considered to be advanced to you in advance."

"Andreine......"

Roger sighed, since he got Sherman's check, Roger hadn't touched the pocket money Roger had given him.

Find the right opportunity to let Andrine know that she has gained independence.

Roger thought silently.

Nothing was said all night.

Early the next morning, the Henrictos sent Roger a package containing some brief information about the mission.

Getting on the school bus, Roger deliberately found a corner where no one was around, flipped through the information and looked it up.

"Crystal Lake drowning."

Seeing this name, Roger couldn't help but pout, "Should I go buy a mask for the occasion?"

Crystal Lake, to the east of Marsh Town, is a large continuous lake named after the calm, crystal-like simplicity of the lake.

The lake is large and has been divided into several parts, and the recent drowning incidents have occurred near the lake.

The first person to die was a high school student named Judd who drowned while playing on the crystal lake with his girlfriend.

According to his girlfriend's later recollection, Judd seemed to have been pulled by something after falling into the water, and he struggled desperately, even pulling his girlfriend into the water to save him.

It felt as if something was pulling him at the bottom of the water.

In addition, this Judd was also a member of the school swimming team, although the results were not particularly outstanding, but it was not an accident caused by poor water quality.

The second deceased was named Travis, a student at another high school in Swamp Town.

Due to the special historical reasons of Swamp Town, the children in the town do not attend one high school, and the blacks left behind in Faku are in one high school, and the other whites are in another school.

The reason for this is not because of the racial discrimination of the local government, but because of the historical legacy, the local black residents have many special customs inherited from the tribal period.

In order to preserve the custom and not cause some unnecessary trouble, the local government specially funded the construction of two schools.

On a regular basis, there are occasional exchanges between the two schools.

And Roger, this time, they went to the predominantly white high school.

This dead Travis is a black man.

The third deceased, named Alan, does not appear to be anything special from the information, but he unfortunately fell into the water while vacationing with a group of friends at the lake.

According to police records, they found some spirits in the boat where Allen fell, as well as smoked marijuana.

So this incident was preliminarily characterized as an accident by the police.

Roger was watching intently when a cautious voice suddenly sounded in his ear.

"Luo ...... Jay. ”

There was a hint of unnaturalness on the girl's face, and she always felt that Roger's name was too ...... Shame on you.

"Can I sit here?"

Roger closed the information in his hand as if nothing had happened, and he looked up at the girl standing in the aisle.

"Kelly?"

"Why are you here?"

Being stared at by Roger, a trace of unnaturalness flashed on the girl's face, "I should have asked you this sentence." ”

"I used to be part of the school band, but I left for a while and now I'm picking it up again."

"It's you, you've only been transferring for a few days, when did you join the school team?"

"Haha......"

Roger smiled and didn't answer the question.

"Is there anything you want me to do?"

"Thank you for that day!"

Kelly spoke.

"I used to be in a relationship with Nick for a while, and at that time I was ignorant and took a lot of indecent photos, so he threatened me with this incident."

"If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I'd never have gotten rid of him."

Kelly's eyes were sincere, and she was very different from when she had seduced Roger.

A flash of clarity flashed across Roger's face, and he finally understood where the excitement on Kelly's face when she was photographed was coming from.

"It's a small thing." Roger waved his hand, "If nothing else, I'd like to be alone for a while." ”

Girl, I'm busy with my research right now.

Rejected by Roger, Kelly was not angry, she bent down and leaned forward.

"When we get to Swamptown, we might be able to have a frank conversation."

She winked at Roger.

"Definitely the purest communication!"
