By the way, Ling Chen and Qin Wei naturally did not use spells while on the road, wasting the number of uses.

At this time, you can see the difference in physical fitness between the two.

To be honest, Ling Chen used to fight with people almost every day, and his physical strength was still very good at that time.

However, I am too busy with work now and have not exercised for a long time, so my condition must have dropped a lot.

On the contrary, Qin Wei has muscles all over his body, and you can tell from a glance that he goes to the gym frequently.

As time went by, the distance between them gradually widened.

Not long after, Ling Chen found that he was thrown far away, and Qin Wei's figure was almost invisible.

"After I go back this time, it seems I have to practice hard..." Ling Chen thought to himself, and then continued on his way.

When he arrived at his destination panting heavily, he saw two figures pulling at each other.

Taking a closer look, it turned out to be Qin Wei and Chen Qianru.

It can be seen that the former is holding the latter's arm at this time, and both parties have quite excited expressions. It is obvious that a dispute has occurred.

However, although the strong smell of gunpowder can be felt from a distance, it seems that they have restrained themselves. After all, they still did not directly break up their faces and did not let the whole matter escalate from a "quarrel" to a "violence".

"Fortunately, I called Qin Wei before going out, otherwise I might not be able to catch up on my own..." Ling Chen thought to himself.

Seeing that Qin Wei and the others were still pulling at each other, Ling Chen could finally relax a little.

Obviously, if Chen Qianru had succeeded, she would not stay here, but would seize the time to run away.

Moreover, there was no commotion in the villa, which proved that she probably hadn't had time to take action yet.

But having said that, it would not be a good thing to let the two of them continue to argue. Ling Chen didn't want things to get worse, so he hurried over.

"In the evening, first there is the strong and burly Qin Wei, and then there is the great detective Ling Chen."

Chen Qian smiled sweetly, looked at the two of them sideways and said:

"What's wrong with you two? Are you just like me, unable to sleep at night and hanging out?"

Ling Chen took a step forward, narrowed his eyes slightly and said:

"Stop talking about hanging out. Why are you here so late... You know it very well."

Chen Qianru appeared here instead of going elsewhere, which confirmed that Ling Chen's worries were right.

He ignored the other party's greed and overestimated her lower limit.

As expected, she did not give up on assassinating Nicole. She only made a superficial concession earlier, but actually planned to leave the others behind and act alone.

If Nicole really has witch blood, then Chen Qianru can swallow the reward alone, and her greedy nature is fully revealed at this moment!

Facing Ling Chen's questioning, Chen Qianru seemed not to feel any pressure at all. She laughed and asked several rhetorical questions:

"What's the big deal? We are contractors. Isn't it just to get rewards when we enter the dungeon?"

"The unarmed Nicole is the best target... wouldn't it be nice to complete the mission easily?"

Ling Chen shook his head and frowned:

"Have you never thought about it, if she is innocent, how can you tell if she killed the wrong person?"

Chen Qianru sneered and said in a teaching tone:

"Didn't you say before that there are hints about the identity of the witch in the case?"

"In my opinion, the situation is very clear. It is very likely that Nicole is a descendant of a witch."

"Besides, even if we kill the wrong person, it's just an NPC. And as long as we do it secretly, it won't affect the villagers' impression of us."

Yes, this is Chen Qianru's plan.

Not long after returning to the room, she sneaked out and arrived at the door of the village chief's house, preparing to sneak in and assassinate Nicole.

In fact, if Qin Wei hadn't arrived suddenly, she would have taken action long ago.

If the only person who came was Qin Wei, who was relatively simple-minded, she could just take her chances and try to evade him by saying something casually.

But now that not only Qin Wei, but also Ling Chen was here, she knew that her purpose had been exposed.

What's more important is that she has no ability to compete with the two people on the opposite side combined.

Because she figured this out, she acted like a broken person when she saw Ling Chen's appearance, and no longer deliberately concealed herself.

"Ling Chen, listen to me. No matter what I say... I have experienced more dungeons than you. Conscience cannot be eaten as food. The rewards you get are the most important."

Ling Chen just sneered but said nothing.

Chen Qianru didn't care and continued to encourage:

"How about the three of us do it together... I think everyone involved in the operation should be able to get meritorious service together. They can get rewards without any effort. Why not do it?"

The current situation is very clear, that is, with Ling Chen and Qin Wei on one side, and Chen Qianru herself on the other, there is a conflict in the ideas and values ​​between the two parties.

At such a close distance, she couldn't fight even alone, let alone two people together.

Therefore, what she has to do is actually very simple, which is to try her best to persuade the two people opposite her to come to her side.

but……

Putting aside Qin Wei's thoughts, Ling Chen had very good reasons to oppose this assassination operation.

You know, Ling Chen's last dungeon clearance evaluation was very good, and he obtained two powerful spells, which greatly improved his combat power.

More importantly, in addition to the guaranteed 10 merit points given in the main mission, an additional 10 points were obtained.

But this part was obtained because he fulfilled the hidden conditions and unlocked the truth of the dungeon mission.

Ling Chen had a vague guess that the rewards received in each mission would not be fixed.

Instead, it will change with the performance of the contractor. If the performance is good, you will naturally get more rewards.

Having experienced the sweetness of the last time, Ling Chen also aimed at the same goal this time. He planned to continue to obtain this part of the reward and gain additional merit.

In order to realize your wish as soon as possible, you must get as much merit as possible.

For this reason, Ling Chen looked down upon Chen Qianru's plan at all.

After all, if you want to keep killing people to identify the true identity of the witch, then it cannot be considered a good performance, let alone a good passing evaluation.

Therefore, facing Chen Qianru's proposal, it was impossible for Ling Chen to agree to it, whether it was out of moral bottom line or the requirement to complete the task.

Ling Chen sneered, winked at Qin Wei, and prepared to capture Chen Qianru together.

On the other hand, Qin Wei didn't really want to kill innocent people indiscriminately, so he immediately nodded in agreement.

However, before they could take action, something unexpected happened!

Suddenly there was a commotion in the villa. The volume was so loud that even the three people outside could hear it.

It should be the sounds made by many people at the same time, superimposed together to form a huge volume!

It can be vaguely distinguished that some people are shouting shrilly, others are running around in panic, there are cries and curses...

Faced with this situation, it is naturally impossible for the three contractors to continue arguing.

They couldn't care less for a while, so they worked together to break the lock on the door of the villa and walked in as fast as a spark.

Following the noisy sound, the three people ran quickly inside the house and soon arrived at the source of the commotion.

This is a study room located on the third floor.

The door to the study is open, and at a glance, you can see that all the servants in the house, including the housekeeper, are here.

In addition, there were two other people in the study, a little girl who looked seven or eight years old, and an injured old woman.
