Chapter 44 Duplicity

"Brother, I actually have something I want to finish before going to Corrie."

Roy looked down at the crimson bow in his hand, with a somewhat embarrassed expression on his face.

Jason raised his eyebrows, he had never seen such a troubled expression on this guy.

"Tell me."

It should be quite rare to make this thick-skinned guy feel embarrassed.

Roy twitched the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, and rubbed his messy red hair with his hands.

"It sounds like you might think that I'm a bit of a bad guy. After all, I was betrayed by the people I helped and went to prison."

He pursed his lips, clenched his bow tightly, and the veins on his hands popped.

"However, I always feel that those who really need help are very pitiful. They are different from those who sell people who help them for profit. They don't even know that I am going to be executed."

Jason blinked, "That's all?" He said flatly.

Roy immediately stood up in a fuss, "What do you mean by this? I thought you were going to taunt me severely, and then call me a bad person!"

Jason propped his chin on his hand, turned his head and looked out the window, "What kind of image do I have in your mind...why object to this."

In the courtyard outside the window, Ashe was lowering her head, not knowing what she was doing.

The sun shines on her snow-white skirt, like an angel.

He closed his eyes, his eyelashes fluttering.

"Isn't everyone who chooses to become a masked vigilante motivated by helping poor people? According to this, one stone thrown down should be able to smash up a lot of bad people."

Roy opened his mouth, his eyes complicated.

He was on a mission in outer space when he learned of Jason's death.

And when he came back from work, he didn't even have time to present a flower in front of his grave.

Roy knew he was a jerk, a rotten, absurd guy, so he accepted whatever bad fate had done to him.

But Jason was different, he was a good guy, and nice guys shouldn't have to go through that.

Roy raised his hand and patted Jason on the shoulder, "Hey, brother, how have you been all these years?"

Jason shook off Roy's hand with a disgusted expression on his face, "Don't express yourself suddenly, it's disgusting."

He put down the newly assembled gun and stood up, "I don't deny your idea, but if you want to take action, you still have to ask other people in Outlaws."

"In summary, Roy and I want to help ordinary people in Querick, what do you think?"

Jason folded his arms around his chest and said while standing by the round table.

While Roy nodded, he took Reid who was going to sit next to Ashe with one arm, and put him on the chair next to him with a big shift.

Roy: Let's sit together as a young couple, don't let your light bulb glow and heat up there.

Reid: What's the matter, I wasn't supposed to sit here?

He blinked blankly, looking at Ashe who walked straight over and sat on the chair beside Jason.

Reid remembers asking a similar question himself, and Ashe's answer was, "That's not what she was called to do."

When half of the people present expressed their willingness to complete the plan, if Reid agreed again, Ashe would be forced to accept the reality.

He hesitated for a moment, not knowing what to say, and just as he opened his mouth, he heard Ashe said without hesitation, "Okay, I agree."

Reid: He just said she wouldn't agree.

Reid: ...Wait, did he hear wrong.

He turned his head suddenly to look at Ashe, who was still holding a large stack of small pieces of paper that were being cut into butterflies.

Ashe:?

She tilted her head with an innocent face, as if asking him why he looked at her with such a shocked expression.

Reid opened his mouth and wiped his face with his hand, "...I agree too."

This guy changed his mind too fast!

Roy clapped his hands happily, "Great, let's discuss countermeasures now!"

He stood up and lifted Reid out of the chair with his hands.

With a smile on his face, Roy walked over to the other side of the room with the bewildered Reid, giving Jason a thumbs up.

Roy: Brother, I can only help here, and then it's up to you!

"Crack."

Jason pulled the chair away, and the wooden chair made a sound as it rubbed against the ground.

"Crack, click."

The scissors cut out a butterfly shape on the paper, Ashe raised her eyes upwards, her thick eyelashes resembled the wings of a butterfly.

"Google."

Jason swallowed unconsciously, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, attracting Ashe's attention.

Jason didn't notice someone's eyes. He rolled up his sleeves and put his arms on the table.

He turned his head away and covered his mouth slightly with an unnatural expression.

"I thought you wouldn't agree. After all, you are not a troublesome person."

The green eyes shifted quietly, looking at Ashe who was cutting the butterflies with her head down, and moved back as if afraid of being discovered, without squinting.

Ashe put the butterfly paper on the table, "Why? I like to help others."

She narrowed her eyes slightly, and her eight teeth were exposed in a smile, which looked quite fake.

Jason clicked his tongue, and he could tell that what she said was absolutely 100% false.

He took his hand from his mouth, "If you don't like it, just say it."

Ashe's eyes stared at the rolling Adam's apple as he spoke, and his eyes darkened.

She stood up and looked down at Jason sitting in the chair.

"Don't they say I'm a thought criminal? Thought prisoners like to stir things up the most, don't they?"

fake.

Ashe looked at Jason's emerald eyes shining in the sun, and thought casually.

She is a person who doesn't like trouble, let alone rush to make trouble for herself.

If it wasn't for someone who said she wanted to be involved, her answer would have been the same as she had said to Reid.

Jason looked at Ashe, who had an indifferent expression on his face.

This gave him an extremely ridiculous idea.

Could it be because she agreed to it because he agreed?

Ashe spread out the small piece of paper she had just cut out, "A place like Querick is a fertile ground for crime."

"If it's going to be solved, it's not just about overthrowing the existing defenders."

she said lightly.

"Education, resistance, and a leader who can win over people's hearts are absolutely indispensable conditions."

Reid, who was talking to Roy on the other side, subconsciously added a sentence, "If the prerequisites cannot be met, an ignorant person will always be an ignorant person."

Ashe raised her eyebrows and looked at Reid, "Have you read Hannibal's paper?"

The latter nodded with a look of embarrassment, "Yes...Although Hannibal is now a wanted criminal, his books and papers on criminal psychology are masterpieces that can never be bypassed."

"Have you ever studied criminal psychology?" he asked.

Ashe shook her head, "No, I haven't studied it systematically."

Then, she added: "But Hannibal was my teacher."

(Hannibal in New Jersey: Oops!)

Jason knew that Hannibal was the psychology teacher of Ashe's junior high school, but when she said it out of her own mouth, he was still a little shocked.

Maybe she wasn't what he imagined from the very beginning, or maybe her disguise successfully fooled everyone.

Everyone only wants to see their favorite side, but things are complicated, not a thin side.

What was the real Ash Black like?

Roy saw that the atmosphere at the scene was slipping rapidly towards freezing point, and quickly pulled Reid aside, who looked out of state.

"It's almost noon, why don't we cook first!"

Reid moved his arm and found that he couldn't get free.

He hesitated and said, "But I only know how to make burgers?"

Roy immediately slapped his chest, "I can do anything, just give me a hand!"

Jason looked at the back of the two of them leaving, and really couldn't remember whether Roy could cook or not.

In my impression, the other party either eats instant noodles or fast food every day. Can he really cook?

In this regard, he expressed doubts.

Ashe glanced at him, sat down in silence, and continued cutting butterflies with the scissors.

She lowered her head and cut the paper with a click.

"Aren't you going to cook together?"

Ashe herself can actually cook, such as sandwiches or burgers.

It's not impossible to let her learn to cook. IQ is here, and she can learn it soon.

However, whether it is said that she is proud of being favored or lazy, she has never learned it.

She likes to eat the food made by Jason, so she doesn't take the initiative to do it herself.

Jason hesitated and decided to trust Roy.

It's been so many years, judging by the way he swears, maybe he really knows how to cook.

But he didn't know what to talk to Ashe, so he simply buried his head in his arms.

He said in a low voice, "If I leave, won't you be the only one left? Besides, I got up too early today, so I need to catch up on sleep now."

Ashe let out an oh, and continued cutting her own butterfly.

After a while, Jason was just pretending to be sleeping, but because he was too tired, he really fell asleep.

Ashe stopped the paper-cutting action and turned her head to look at him who was asleep.

She reached out and tapped his side face, keeping the strength so that she would not alert him.

"Fool."

Ashe lowered his eyes and said softly.

As long as it is what he wants to do, she will do her best to do it.

There is no other reason, just because it is him, and only because it is him.

What's more, she had already prepared the groundwork.

After all, she already knew that Jason would not turn a blind eye to all this.

Alas, falling in love with a nice person is a sweet annoyance.

On the other side, Reid looked at the second pot that was blown up by Roy, and sighed silently.

In the end, he still needs to come to the rescue.

"How dare you treat me like this, I will make her pay the price!"

The person in charge of Quarick roared, and the waiter who stood by bowed his head and left the office.

The waiter raised his head, and the remote control in his hand was flashing red.

She ran to the outside, but the mercenaries guarding the gate did not stop her.

When she hid in a place where no one was around, the waiter looked at the tall house and raised the corners of his mouth coldly.

"go to hell."

She pressed the remote control with a red light in her hand.

Just as Roy was standing at the dining table, holding the pot that he had blown up on his head, and repeating in words that he would not dare to do it again next time, there was a loud noise outside.

"What, what's going on!"

The pot on Roy's head fell to the ground with a bang.

He peeped out the window and saw smoke billowing from Querec's central tower.

Ashe was not surprised by this, and was eating the only meal Jason rescued with a spoon.

Jason withdrew his gaze, looked at Ashe and asked, "What did you do?"

Ashe dug the rice with a spoon and put it into her mouth, "Well, I used a little trick."

In such a short period of time after meeting, even Ashe, who is proficient in brainwashing techniques, cannot brainwash a person in such a short period of time.

So she used the power of Dionysus a little bit.

Reid took a bite of the hamburger, a little greedy for her meal, "Didn't you say you wouldn't do anything to the person in charge of Querick?"

Ashe raised her eyebrows, "Really? I forgot."

Who made him so unlucky to run into her irritability period?Anyway, sooner or later, she will die, she just gave him a little early.

Roy opened his mouth. He didn't expect that the quietest-looking person in the Outlaws group would be such a crazy guy.

He looked at Jason, who was suspected to be the gangster's boyfriend, with both admiration and pity in his eyes.

Roy: Awesome, brother.

Jason let out an oh, and continued to eat the burger.

The only ingredient that was snatched from Roy just now was only enough to feed Ashe alone, so he also ate the hamburger made by Reid.

Reid looked at Ashe, then at Jason, with a hesitant expression.

The two of them... are they on good terms or not?

The brain of a genius with an IQ of 187 is in doubt.

For a person whose mother and fetus have been single until now, this question is really too early for him.

He doesn't understand.

Jason, who was just bombarded by Roy's words, walked out of the room with a complicated expression.

To be honest, some of his ideas are still at the stage where Ashe used to be very soft.

So when it comes to dealing with Ashe, he still uses the original way of getting along.

But Roy insisted on telling him that your girlfriend is a ghost plush ball!She is more ferocious than beasts, okay?Put down your 10,000-meter-thick filter!

He pinched his eyebrows with a headache, and stood on the balcony blowing the wind.

I don't know when it started, maybe from the day he met Ashe, he never smoked again.

At first it was just a disguise, but then really quit smoking so silently.

He looked at Querick's star-studded sky and let out a long breath.

Queric is located next to the desert, and there is no heavy industry. The local capitalists mainly make money from oil and gems, so the environment is not too polluted.

Gotham and Querick are not the same at all.

Its sky is always shrouded in a layer of gray mist, and the air is not so fresh. After all, it is a city with relatively developed heavy industry.

He felt that someone was watching him, so he turned his head to look, and it happened to bump into Ashe's sight.

Jason: ...Who changed the room?!He clearly remembered that Roy was next door to him, and it was right that he was separated from Ashe by a room!

Their eyes met, and after a moment of silence, Ashe broke the condensed air first.

She looked at him with a smile, "talk?"

Jason took a deep breath and told himself not to be nervous...shit.

He has never experienced such a candid chat!!!

Jason looked at Ashe and said calmly, "Take a few steps back, I'm going to jump over."

However, in reality, his heart was like an erupting volcano, unable to calm down at all.

Ashe took a few steps back with folded arms.

Immediately afterwards, Jason jumped onto her balcony with a run-up.

The moon at night gently spread its own light, and the roar of police cars could be heard outside their base.

Jason looked down at Ashe, the shadow covering most of her face.

He suddenly realized that they seemed a little too close, so he quickly took a step back to distance himself.

"Ah, sorry."

Jason turned his face away, trying to hide his red face, but the hot earlobes and unconsciously clenched hands betrayed his true heart.

He calmed down his volcanic eruption, trying to make his expression more serious.

"Let's talk about the plan we talked about in the afternoon. I think there are some things that can be added."

Ashe twitched the corner of her mouth and spit out a mocking "ha."

She thought about what he would say, but ended up saying this?

Ashe turned around and rested her hands on the Roman column platform of the balcony. The breeze brought by the temperature drop in the desert night slowly blew her hair.

Jason frowned, leaning against the table, "Didn't you want to talk about this?"

Ashe closed her eyes, she was afraid that she would reveal her actual emotions too early.

Beautiful scenery on a beautiful day, bright moon and stars, and a gentle breeze blowing, but you, a straight man, left here to talk about business and plans for me?

Is the human society of your literary youth just a decoration?

Ashe adjusted her emotions, turned her head and said, "It's not working hours, I don't want to talk about business."

Jason opened his mouth, thinking that what she said seemed a little subtle, but the official action was about to take place tomorrow, how could he go to the battlefield with an incomplete plan!

He talked about his thoughts to Ashe, but Ashe responded unimportantly and did not express his opinion.

Anyway, she was the one who finally carried out the plan, and what he said was useless.

Ashe's gaze has been fixed on his Adam's apple and the collarbone exposed by the collar of his clothes, but his expression is so upright that no fault can be seen.

Jason said a lot, but felt that the person in front of him didn't listen to a word and was still distracted.

Ashe: Actually, I am not distracted. I think you are serious about your Adam's apple and collarbone.

He cleared his throat, and then said, "Don't you have anything to add and correct?"

Ashe sighed, and raised her eyes to look at her boyfriend's handsome face.

She straightened up and took her hands off the table.

"Have."

She took a step forward and touched the buttons of his clothes on his chest.

"Sir Jason, I don't think night is particularly suitable for talking about battle plans."

Those amber brown eyes turned up into a smile.

He felt inexplicably parched, and he didn't even know where to put his hands. He even felt that the button she put on had turned into a soldering iron at some point, and it was astonishingly hot.

Jason pursed his lips, his green eyes were like a peaceful lake, he slightly lowered his head, and said in a hoarse voice: "It's not suitable for talking about battle plans, what would you do then?"

Ashe padded her feet slightly. Even though she had put on flat shoes, her height of 1.75 meters allowed her to easily touch Jason's face.

Her hands were wrapped around his neck at some point.

Ashe smiled, exhaling moist air against his lips.

She said: "It is suitable for talking about love."

However, at this moment, the atmosphere was just right, and when the two were about to kiss, a person suddenly jumped out of the balcony of Jason's room.

Roy didn't find Jason anywhere else, so the only place he could find was Jason's room.

When he went to knock on the door, he found that the door was not closed, so he pushed the door open and walked to the balcony.

"Little Jay..."

Roy scratched his hair embarrassingly as he looked at the two people who seemed to be hugging each other in a great atmosphere and were about to kiss each other.

He whispered: "Sorry, did I bother you? I just came to discuss something with Jie Niao, so I'm leaving now."

Jason let go of Ashe like an electric shock, and then said: "Yes, yes! There is still something to discuss, I'll go first!"

He jumped over his own balcony at a fast speed, pulled Roy and turned around and left.

Before leaving, Roy glanced at Ashe.

Then he was horrified to find that the other party forcibly broke off a piece of plaster from the Roman column.

As if noticing his gaze, Ashe smiled at him, seemingly not minding.

But her left eye said "you're finished", and her right eye said "what to do, he won't be found by Jason".

When Roy sat on the chair and began to recall the scene just now, he felt full of murderous intent no matter how he thought about it!!!

He doesn't have a girlfriend yet, he doesn't want to die so early!

On the other side, Ashe looked down at the plaster she was crushing in her hand, and let go of the plaster powder to be carried away by the wind.

She looked at the night sky, and the stars couldn't speak.

Ashe sighed softly, she thought that the atmosphere was so good just now, she could always get a kiss.

As a young man without any physical disabilities, and even better than the average person, after dating for so long, he has just developed into kissing.

Is this suitable? This!

Originally thought that after the long-lost reunion, she would be able to reach home plate in one fell swoop, but she didn't expect that the other party and her had been at odds until now.

Not even a kiss.

Ashe took a deep breath, opened and clenched her hands, she murmured: "It's okay, one day..."

Before getting a gift, you need to look forward to it, she understands, she understands.

Just, don't make her wait for too long, or she won't be able to bear it... and start opening the gift directly.

The author has something to say:

Reid: I have always been out of state, completely unaware that the two are a couple, and did not realize that Ashe is a double-standard monster.

Roy: The operation was as fierce as a tiger. When saw the record of 0 to 5, was hated by Ashe.

Ashe: I thought everything was in place, but Roy came out halfway, I couldn't bear it anymore

Jason: Come on, run away sucks
