Chapter 549 "I hope you will be happy, my dear friend"
Looking at Chang Ming with a serious expression in front of him, Leosli was stunned for a moment, then slowly lowered his head and fell into thinking and organizing himself.
"So... you plan to use the excuse of "assisting in the investigation" to let Caterpillar leave Melo Petersburg naturally."
"Not only will this solve the problem of the little girl, but it will also give us a clearer picture of the actions of the remnants of the Narcissus Cross?"
After hearing Leosli's summary, Chang Ming nodded approvingly, then slowly leaned back in his chair and said:
"The law four hundred years ago did not have the term 'assisting in an investigation', but the law now does. We need to look at the issue from today's perspective."
"This is neither beyond the rules nor exploiting loopholes in the rules. On the contrary - this is to maintain the rules and maintain the stability of Fontaine."
"After all, the Narcissus Cross Society is a secret society formed by many geniuses. What exactly they want to do... we still don't know anything."
"Are they working to save Fontaine and resolve the prophecy crisis, just as they confessed back then? Or are they conducting illegal human experiments to enhance human body functions? This is what we must find out."
Chang Ming's tone gradually became serious, and the atmosphere in the office became a little dull.
Erinace, the evil dragon from the abyss, can destroy most of Fontaine with just a wave of his hand. If such a guy were to be resurrected...it would definitely bring a huge disaster to Fontaine.
Although Chang knew that Erinus would not be resurrected, even if someone intended to resurrect it, it would be impossible, but... he wanted to know where the people of the Narcissus Cross Society were.
Sigmar, Marianne, Rene and Caterpillar, their fate should not be the same as the original plot, either lost in dreams or completely disappearing from the world.
They are all people who are committed to saving Fontaine, and they cannot be allowed to leave this world like this.
At least... before they leave, let them see what Fontaine looks like without the prophecy, the sword of Damocles hanging over their heads.
Looking at Chang Ming, whose expression was serious and a little absent-minded, Leosli nodded slightly.
"Then I'll ask someone to bring the traveler back. This way... things will be easier."
"But the point is... you have to go talk to Caterpillar in person."
"Don't worry, I'll talk to him."
Chang Ming nodded slightly, and just as he was about to pick up the teacup in front of him and take a sip, the office door was suddenly pushed open.
"Chang Ming! Leosli! Fortunately you are all here. We have something very, very important to tell you!"
Paimeng spoke out the speculations that Ying had just told her on the road, and then he put his hands on his hips and said in a panic:
"He might really be a felon who has not yet completed his sentence! We can't let him leave Melo Petersburg like this!"
Hearing this, Chang Ming and Leosli looked at each other, and then shook their heads at the same time.
"Don't panic, Paimon. Caterpillar is not as threatening as you think."
Chang Ming said with a helpless smile.
"Remember the Narcissus Cross Society I mentioned earlier? If nothing unexpected happens... this Caterpillar should be the member of the Narcissus Cross Society who was captured when he tried to revive Erinus."
"And you have seen Jacob's activities before, right? His goal was also to revive Erinus, but... I stopped him directly."
"From the motives of his actions... I suspect that when the members of the Narcissus Cross Society were arrested, they reached some kind of... tacit agreement, such as suspending the plan for a few hundred years and restarting it a few hundred years later..."
Chang Ming spread his hands and gave the most reasonable explanation from Ying and Paimon's perspective.
After hearing Chang Ming's words, Paimeng and Ying fell into a brief silence. After a while, they suddenly said:
"Huh?! In other words... Chang Ming, you want to get some information out of Caterpillar? In order to determine the purpose and plan of the secret society?"
"Wait? Are you planning to use this method to get Caterpillar out of Melo Petersburg again? This trick again?"
Looking at Paimeng's surprised expression, Chang Ming smiled softly, then slowly stood up and said softly:
"You've been with me for so long... you should understand my logic, right?"
"I never look at one thing in isolation, because only in this way can I often kill two birds with one stone or three birds with one stone."
Chang Ming's mouth curled up slightly, then he patted his clothes lightly and walked out of the office without looking back.
"Let's go and meet Catepila and see if this 'Narcissus Cross Society member' who often calls himself a sinner can 'atone' as he wants, and if he can help us in the face of major issues."
"Ah, of course. It doesn't really matter if I don't help. As long as we can get the child out of the water, it'll be a success."
Looking at Chang Ming's rather handsome back, Paimon blinked, then looked at Leosli who was also thinking and asked:
"Um...Leosley, was Chang Ming like this before?"
"What do you mean?"
"No, I mean...was he this cool before?"
Hearing this, Leosli was stunned for a moment, then he chuckled and shook his head.
"He wasn't so cool before. Before the predicted crisis was over, he always came and went in a hurry."
"From big things like predicted crises to small things like the lives of the people of Fontaine, he needs to care about them. How can he have time to relax?"
When saying this, Leosli felt a little emotional for a moment, and a rare smile appeared on his face.
"The carefreeness and happiness he has now are all the result of his hard work. This is part of what he deserves."
“Eh? Is this just a part?”
"Yes, only part of it. He still has one last big thing to deal with."
Leosli took a deep look at Chang Ming's back, and a smile of blessing appeared on his face.
"I hope you will be happy, my dear friend."
He murmured quietly.
