Super Doctor of the Universe
Chapter 441 Is this a ghost?
Link, who is proficient in psychology, knew from the performance of the village chief that the other party concealed part of the task content because he was unwilling to pay enough. Especially when he saw that Link looked young, he wanted to take advantage of Link's sympathy.
Link estimated that the village might have some difficulties in terms of funds, but it was definitely not that they could not pay more, so they wanted to control the other party, but they did not expect to meet Mirajane by accident.
Compared with leaving a small lesson for the village chief, the three siblings in front of them were much more important.
Therefore, Link did not continue to entangle with the village chief, but said to them: "In fact, I don't care much about the task reward, but the village chief's concealment of the task content is a very bad behavior. If he succeeds by falsely reporting the task this time, other clients will follow suit, which is not fair to the wizard who completed the task.
And this task is not that simple. The magic that can cause the sky phenomenon is extremely powerful. Although you are already wizards, it is still too dangerous for you."
"Don't worry about this, just leave the task to us." Mirajane said angrily.
"Sister Mira!" At this time, Lisanna quickly grabbed Mira's hand and bowed her head to Link and said, "I'm sorry, we really need this mission, so..."
"From the looks of you, if I don't agree, you will probably have to investigate on your own." Seeing the other party's appearance, Link knew that the situation of the three siblings was probably not good at this time, and he said:
"I can't give up the mission. How about this, I will hire you to help me complete this mission. As for the reward, it will be 200,000 J."
"Ah, in this case, doesn't it mean the full reward?" Lisanna was surprised.
"How much reward I can get depends on the result of the negotiation between me and the village chief. Anyway, I promise to pay you 200,000 J. How about it."
"You are not lying to us." Mirajane stared at Link and asked.
"Of course not, if you don't believe it, I can pay you half of the reward in advance." Link said directly.
"No problem, that's it." Mirajane agreed immediately. In fact, she also knew that what Link said made some sense, and this mission might be dangerous. However, as Link guessed, they were indeed short of money now, so she agreed to Link's proposal without hesitation.
"In this case, let's find a place to discuss how to complete the mission. It's just right to have dinner together. I'll treat you." Link didn't continue to argue with the village chief, and directly dragged the two to the village inn.
Just as the village chief said, this village is not big, so the so-called hotel is just a transformation of the villagers' rooms. Link ordered a few dishes and took the opportunity to chat with the three.
The other party was very vigilant, but Link still relaxed the other party a little through a conversation. After dinner, Link said: "While it's still a while before dark, you should rest first, and you will be busy at night."
"Are you going to enter the forest at night?" Lisanna said hesitantly: "It should be more dangerous at night."
"That's right, but ghosts usually don't appear during the day." Link said.
The three siblings also knew that Link was right, so they nodded. Then Link booked a room and asked the three of them to rest first. Link went directly to the village chief to negotiate the remuneration.
The final result was good. Link successfully asked the other party to increase the remuneration to 400,000 J. Then Link returned to the hotel with satisfaction. When it was dark, he went to the forest with the three siblings.
There were only some ordinary beasts and weak monsters in the forest, otherwise the villagers would not frequently enter it to hunt, but it would still be much more dangerous at night than during the day.
Link led the three into the forest, and then went to the place where the crying sound had appeared according to the description of the village chief.
"Woo woo..." After approaching the place described by the village chief, Link finally heard the crying sound. The sound was very childish, sounding a little like the crying of a little girl, and accompanied by footsteps, and the person who made the sound seemed to be moving.
However, Link did not make a direct judgment. After all, many animals and plants in nature can make such confusing sounds. Moreover, it was hard for him to imagine that an ordinary little girl could survive in the forest. After all, adults also need to be careful to deal with wild beasts and monsters in the forest. The danger is not high only for wizards.
"It's a ghost!" Mirajane's eyes lit up when she heard the sound, and she ran towards the source of the sound excitedly.
"Wait, be careful of danger!" Link followed her.
The source of the sound was not far from the few people, and the group soon saw a little girl who was about seven or eight years old with short dark blue hair.
The little girl lowered her head and kept crying while walking in the forest: "Wuwu... Grandine, where are you? It's so dark here, I'm so scared..."
"She doesn't look like a ghost." Seeing that the crying sound was made by a little girl, not the imagined ghost, Mirajane couldn't help but said in surprise.
Because she didn't try to suppress the sound, the other person noticed it at once, stopped crying immediately, wiped the tears from her face, looked around in panic, and then quickly hid in the bushes nearby.
From the other party's reaction, Link judged that this should really be just a little girl, otherwise her acting skills are too good.
After thinking about it, Link came to the bushes where the little girl was hiding and pushed the bushes aside. He saw the little girl hugging her knees and looking at Link with a terrified expression.
"Don't be afraid." Link tried to speak in a gentle tone: "What's your name, why are you here alone."
"What? Is she the so-called ghost?" Mirajane next to him curled her lips, but from her eyes, it can be seen that she is a little concerned.
Seeing that the other party was still a little scared and just stared at Link without saying anything, Lisanna said at this time: "Brother Link, why don't you let me talk to her."
After that, Lisanna walked forward, stretched out her hand to the little girl and said: "My name is Lisanna, hello."
Compared to Link, Lisanna was obviously easier for the little girl to trust. She looked at Lisanna and finally held Lisanna's hand.
