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

"So, I want to ask your opinion."

Roger couldn't help sitting up straight.

He couldn't help but think about the gesture of the red-haired girl in front of him.

"It's a little sudden..."

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

Amanda continued.

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

"Emotions are not meant to be expressed~"

"There is one thing that is very important to me, but if I want to do it, I need to pay some price. This price is terrible."

"But this matter is not only related to myself, but also to some attitudes of my mother..."

Roger was stunned with a wooden face.

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

"Cough!" Roger cleared his throat.

"You mean to say that there is a very important choice in front of you, and you have to pay some price to choose it. It is difficult for you to make a judgment now, is that right?"

Amanda nodded.

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

Amanda nodded again.

"Right, that is it."

"If you do nothing, will it affect your current life?" Roger asked again.

Amanda thought for a while and shook her head.

"Then don't choose. You are not a gambler, there is no need to gamble your present happiness for unknown things."

"But……"

Roger cut her off with a hand.

"I'm your friend, but it's you who makes the choice and bears the consequences." He spread his hands.

"That's my opinion. Of course, if you are willing to tell me what happened, I may be able to help you more."

Roger always felt that Amanda had become very strange after returning from Marsh Town, but if Amanda didn't say anything, there was only so much he could do to help.

Girl, you just missed a perfect opportunity. If you confess, hey... how can I have the heart to reject you?

Amanda nodded thoughtfully, her eyes gradually became firmer, and she seemed to have made a choice.

"Thank you Roger!"

"You are truly my best friend!"

"Hehe."

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

"Have you finished talking?"

Andrine came over with a tray, "I also prepared some desserts for you..."

Seeing the smile on Andrine's face, Roger felt a little guilty for no reason, eating other people's food, living in other people's food, and now he still wants to sleep with other people...?

Well, it is indeed a bit too much.

Andrine took out a few banknotes and put them in Roger's hand.

"Although the school is responsible for your board and lodging, if you are there alone, there must be something to spend. This is your pocket money for next month, which can be regarded as an advance payment to you."

"Andrine..."

Roger sighed. Ever since he got Sherman's check, Roger never touched the pocket money Andrine gave him.

Find a suitable opportunity to let Andrine know that he has gained independence.

Roger thought silently.

Nothing to say all night.

Early the next morning, Henrik sent a package to Roger, which contained some simple information about the mission.

After getting on the school bus, Roger purposely found a corner where no one was around, and opened up the information to look it up.

"Crystal Lake Drowning Incident."

Seeing this name, Roger couldn't help curling his lips, "Should I buy a mask to suit the occasion?"

Crystal Lake is located in the east of Marsh Town. It is a large continuous lake. It is named because the lake is calm and pure like crystal.

This lake has a large area and is divided into several parts, and the recent drowning incidents all occurred near the lake.

The first fatality was a high school student named Judd, who unfortunately drowned while playing with his girlfriend on Crystal Lake.

According to his girlfriend's later recollection, Judd seemed to be pulled by something after falling into the water. He struggled desperately, and even almost pulled his girlfriend into the water together to save him.

It felt as if something under the water was constantly pulling him.

In addition, this Judd was once a member of the school's swimming team. Although his grades were not particularly outstanding, it was by no means an accident caused by poor water quality.

The second deceased was named Travis, and he was a student at another high school in the Marsh Town.

Because of its special historical reasons in Marsh Town, the children in the town did not attend a high school. The blacks left by Faku were in one high school, and the other whites were in another school.

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

In order to preserve the custom without causing unnecessary troubles, the local government specially funded the construction of two schools.

Usually, there are occasional exchange activities between the two schools.

And Roger and the others went to the high school that was dominated by white people.

This dead Travis was a black man.

The third deceased was named Allen, and he couldn't see anything special from the information. He unfortunately fell into the water while on vacation with a group of friends by the lake.

According to police records, they found some spirits and exhausted marijuana on the boat where Allen fell.

Therefore, the incident was initially classified as an accident by the police.

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

"Ro... ger."

A trace of unnaturalness flashed across the girl's face. She always felt that Roger's name was a little too... shameful.

"Can I sit here?"

Roger pretended to be nonchalant and closed the document in his hand. 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 across the girl's face, "I should be the one to ask you this question."

"I've been in the school band until I left for a while, and now I'm picking it up again."

"It's you, you just transferred to another school a few days ago, when did you join the school team?"

"Ha ha……"

Roger smiled and did not answer the question.

"Is there anything you can do with me?"

"Thank you for that day!"

Kelly spoke.

"I was in a relationship with Nick for a while. At that time, I was not sensible and took a lot of indecent photos, so he threatened me with this incident."

"If it wasn't for you, I'm afraid I would never be able to get rid of him."

Kelly's eyes are sincere, and she at this time is completely different from when she first seduced Roger.

A flash of understanding flashed across Roger's face, and he finally understood where the excitement on Kelly's face when the photo was taken at that time came from.

"A little thing." Roger waved his hand, "If there is nothing else, I want to be alone for a while."

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

Kelly was not angry at being rejected by Roger, she bent down and leaned forward.

"When we arrive in Marsh Town, maybe we can have a frank exchange."

She winked at Roger.

"Absolutely the purest form of communication!"
