The man stood in the distance, looking at the building shrouded in cold, his whole face was full of shock and anger.
"Chi!"
"Why is Chi here!"
"damn it!"
"Is this your trump card?"
"You really thought... huh?!"
The man who gritted his teeth was suddenly taken aback.
He found that there was something wrong with the cold breath.
Not only disordered, but…
weak!
"So it is!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"It's just a clone remaining!"
"Onuma, you're dead!"
The man laughed wildly, and disappeared in the next moment.
…
[Imitation Yancheng Bracelet] once again guided the way for Qin Ran.
The staircase in front of me is no different from the one in the Onuma mansion. The same one is divided into nine layers, the same one has 108 steps each, and each step is 33 centimeters. There is also the same seal engraved with a pair of words that Qin Ran cannot distinguish. ancient painting.
However, there is a difference.
This place is much more dangerous than the steps in the Onuma mansion.
The dangerous aura that cannot be seen with the naked eye, but is real, presses down on Kieran's heart like a mountain peak.
Even with guidance, Kieran was careful with every step he took.
Kieran had anticipated the danger.
After all, every time he digs deeply into the current dungeon world, he obtains far more benefits than ordinary people.
But this time is different.
Calculated numerically, if we compare the dungeon world of [Demon City] under normal conditions to 1, then according to Qin Ran's usual experience, after digging deeply, the difficulty should be 2 or 3, but in reality? Has reached 5, or even more.
"It is impossible to look at every dungeon world based on past laws and experiences."
"Every copy world is different."
"Especially after the appearance of gods and demons."
Qin Ran reminded himself, remembering the lesson from this time.
Then, move on.
As for giving up
Do not make jokes!
Now that this time has come, Qin Ran will never give up.
Not only the main task, but also the considerable benefits.
Risk and benefit are directly proportional!
This is what Qin Ran firmly believed in.
It is also the theme that underground games will not change.
The stairs have an end, and when the main building complex that looked like a palace appeared, the [Imitation Yancheng Bracelet] completely dimmed.
It's useless.
But also did its best.
Because, Kieran had already passed through the gate of the palace and saw Onuma standing there.
Onuma, whose body has become phantom, is smiling.
"Faster than I thought."
Onuma said so.
"Thanks to it."
Qin Ran held the [Imitation Yancheng Bracelet] and said sincerely.
There was no falsehood in the slightest, and the thanks came from the bottom of my heart, because Qin Ran knew very well that if he didn't have this [Imitation Yancheng Bracelet], even if he could get here, he would have to pay a very heavy price.
So, after thanking him, Kieran looked at Onuma questioningly.
"Aren't you going to explain it to me?"
Qin Ran said.
"I have met a terrible enemy."
"He is both powerful and cunning. He has been staring at me like a maggot on the tarsus, and he is also suspicious, making me paralyzed."
"So, I had to do it."
Onuma sighed.
But obviously, such words could not convince Qin Ran.
"Being suspicious? Paralyzed?"
"Please don't use these two words to describe him and yourself, it will cause fundamental misunderstandings - you dare to swear by your real name, have you not found the guy behind the 'piercing stab'?"
"With the appearance of [Tearing Secret Medicine], you should discover everything!"
"That kind of secret medicine can't be made by ordinary people, it must need the help of a 'medicine girl', and gods with cities like Lincheng, Duocheng, and Yecheng can't support a 'medicine girl', and a wandering guy How can I support the 'medicine girl'?"
Qin Ran sneered.
After learning about the 'craftsman demon' and 'medicine girl' from the old monk of Luosheng Temple, Qin Ran expressed deep doubts about the ability of the 'Piercing Thorn' to make [Tearing Secret Medicine].
And what happened after that made Qin Ran's doubts become reality.
The 'Piercing Stab' is nothing more than a puppet pushed out by someone behind the scenes.
Even the 'God of Forest City' is a puppet who is kept in the dark and thinks he is smart.
All of this is the plan of the man behind the scenes.
At first, Qin Ran was also deceived.
It wasn't that Qin Ran was not cautious enough.
Simply because the information is not equal.
But this kind of inequality will never appear in the aboriginal Onuma.
"I swear by my real name, I really didn't spot that guy until I met your impostor."
Facing Qin Ran's questioning, Onuma solemnly said a series of names with about sixteen syllables, and with his momentum.
This straightforward approach made Qin Ran frown.
"You really don't know?"
Qin Ran asked.
"If I really knew, I wouldn't be as passive as I am now."
"2567, do you know?"
"I haven't been this nervous for many years!"
"After seeing your counterfeit, I knew it was that guy! The guy who has been declared dead is actually a fake death! He still stared at me from the beginning to the end, and made a so-called 'piercing thorn' to attract My attention!"
"He succeeded."
"Not only did I not notice it, but I opened it in the way he wanted—if he hadn't been unable to confirm what was hidden here, he would have rushed in."
"Therefore, I will try my best to leave you clues, just hoping that you can help me at the last moment."
Onuma said with a wry smile.
"The existence in that archway is much stronger than me."
Qin Ran pointed behind him.
"If Lord Chi is complete, of course I don't need to be so nervous."
"But that's just Master Chi's clone, a clone that had to be separated in order to make up for her own hidden dangers—simply put, she is completely out of my control."
"and… "
"Even if it is a clone, Master Chi has just left."
"She's out of here, and that guy is sure to take his chances."
A wry smile spread across Onuma's face again.
Then, Onuma took a deep breath and looked at Qin Ran with a solemn expression.
"Can you hold me back for a while?"
Onuma asked.
[Triggering a special event: the black hand behind the scenes]
[Whether to accept?]
…
Seeing the special event that happened, Kieran nodded his head very simply.
[The man behind the scenes: You discovered the secret behind the 'Piercing Thorn', and, within the specified time, appeared in front of Onuma's phantom. Facing Onuma's request, you are duty-bound.]
[According to the player's behavior, it is determined to join the Onuma camp.]
(Note 1: In special events, the better the player's performance, the higher the evaluation)
(Note 2: Player performance, including but not limited to combat)
…
"Very good."
"I swear by my real name, the person in front of me will be my eternal brother, and I am willing to share my fame, power, wealth, and status with him."
Onuma excitedly issued a series of oaths.
After this oath, a generous breath from the earth slowly melted into Qin Ran's body.
[Acquire Onuma's Oath of Brotherhood!]
[Within the scope of Yancheng, get a little favor of fate!]
…
The system prompt appeared in front of him, but Kieran's gaze was looking into the distance.
There, there was an aura full of malice.
And, it is approaching rapidly.
