The sudden scream made Qin Ran change his original plan to investigate the surroundings, and he went straight to the place where the scream came from.
When Qin Ran arrived at the place where the screams took place, the afterglow of the setting sun had all dissipated, but this did not prevent the dazzling scarlet from being reflected in Qin Ran's eyes.
The screaming woman was dead.
The other party's face still retained the fear of being attacked suddenly before his death.
But the other party's body was broken and incomplete, most of the internal organs were swallowed up, and the same was true for the flesh and blood on the limbs and torso.
The opponent's two femurs went from broken to several pieces.
Qin Ran could completely imagine how his bloody mouth was chewing on the opponent's flesh and blood.
Except for the head, the poor woman left no more complete body.
However, what surprised Qin Ran the most was that there were no more traces left at the scene.
Perhaps it is more accurate to say that there were quite clear traces left, but as night fell, such traces were rapidly disappearing.
"A different night?"
"interesting."
Qin Ran squinted and whispered to himself.
Beep!
In the distance, a sharp whistle sounded.
Qin Ran glanced at the group of law enforcement officers in uniform who were obviously policemen, turned around and walked into the shadows.
He doesn't mind being in contact with each other.
But now, not yet.
…
Night fell as promised.
In the pitch-black night sky, neither the moon nor the stars can be seen. It is just a mass of darkness, just like a mass of black mist covering the sky above Edison.
People living here locked their rooms early and entered their dreams one after another.
On the bedside, more or less, there will be some self-defense weapons.
Almost at the moment of nightfall, Edsy fell into silence.
Of course, not all of them.
In the alleys of certain streets, there are always a few places that are brightly lit.
In the shortest possible time, Qin Ran easily found three taverns and hotels where quite a lot of people gathered.
Then, he picked one of the hotels called 'Stove Grilled Fish'.
Such a choice is not random.
Apart from the fact that the name 'Stove Grilled Fish' made Qin Ran quite fond of it, it was also because this hotel had a strong aura far surpassing the other two places.
The kind of strong breath in the eyes of ordinary people.
jingle.
"Warriors who dare to travel at night are welcome."
"You and I are glad that you didn't make a wrong choice—I have the best beer and freshly baked bread here. Of course, I suggest you have a signature dish: grilled fish!"
Qin Ran pushed the door open and entered, and amidst the ringing of the doorbell came a rough voice.
A shirtless man standing behind the bar on the first floor, showing his muscular muscles and thick chest hair, greeted Qin Ran loudly.
The other party still held half a glass of beer in his hand, and his beard, which was as thick as his chest hair, was covered with alcohol. The candlelight shone on his bald head, making him extremely conspicuous.
"An oven-baked fish and bread."
"I also need a clean room with hot water."
As Qin Ran spoke, he walked towards the corner of the first floor.
"certainly!"
"I have everything you need here. Do you pay in ancient coins or in cash?"
The other party smiled and nodded.
Ancient coins, cash
For Qin Ran who is not very familiar with the dungeon world in front of him, this is undoubtedly information that needs to be recorded.
Fortunately, through his observation just now, he knew that precious metals are still hard currencies here.
clatter.
A piece of gold the size of an adult's pinky fingernail landed on the wooden bar with such precision, shining brightly under the light of the arm-thick butter candle.
The brilliance of gold immediately attracted the attention of other people in the inn.
There was a lot of greed in the eyes of these people.
However, immediately, they withdrew their gazes.
Because, the one standing behind the bar was staring at them fiercely.
"This is 'Fire Grilled Fish', my Raglan's trump card!"
"Whoever dares to disobey my rules, I will feed him to the fish!"
Raglan, the owner of 'Fire Grilled Fish', exclaimed.
Then, he picked up the gold and put it in his trouser pocket, and said to Qin Ran in a very gentle tone: "Sir, I assure you that you will be treated like home here."
"Your room is waiting for you at any time."
"Your grilled fish and bread will be here soon, and I will send you a vegetable soup and beer, please enjoy yourself."
Apparently, that little piece of gold played a decisive role.
Qin Ran's room was cleaned out very quickly, and the food appeared in front of him three minutes later.
Grilled fish and bread are common food, and the vegetable soup lacks salt, let alone whole green vegetables, but some chopped grasses.
Kieran didn't touch the beer. He put the glass aside and began to eat his own dinner. His ears were collecting all the information that could be collected.
Although the people in the hall talked as quietly as possible, according to Kieran's perception, none of these people's whispers escaped his ears, as if they were whispering in his ears.
"What exactly is it?"
"The police said it was a wolf."
"Give me a break."
"I don't know if that thing is a bloodborn, a werewolf, or a ghoul."
"But one thing is for sure!"
"Those bigots are talking nonsense."
…
The voice was full of sarcasm and ridicule, and then aroused laughter from the same table.
Then, these guys toasted frequently.
Qin Ran listened silently.
Most of them are like useless news with speculation.
But not all.
When Qin Ran finished the vegetable soup in one gulp, he had been silently paying attention, and the two guests on the table near the side of the stage spoke.
These two people are old and young.
The older one was carrying a cane, and there was a tiny gap near the handle of the cane. Although it was very concealed, Kieran knew what was hidden inside with a glance.
Blade!
A long sword with a crutch shape and a hidden blade.
But the young one was more straightforward, the brown windbreaker couldn't hide the abnormal bulge of the psoas, and he knew it should be a revolver just by looking at the outline.
Both of them have brown hair and emerald green eyes, and their faces are four or five points similar.
Obviously there is a blood relationship.
"Will, what do you think that is?"
The young man asked in a low voice.
"It won't be blood, they like to maintain their so-called demeanor."
"They won't be werewolves either. Their madness won't erupt until the night of the full moon. Even werewolves who like to hunt won't 'waste food'. They will pack everything away instead of throwing it away. all over the place."
"Ghouls are a possibility."
"The behavior of these guys has long been assigned by their shrunken brains, and they are no different from ordinary beasts."
"However, I'm more inclined to..."
The words of the elders continued, and they came to the most critical place.
But at this moment, it was interrupted by a rude knock on the door.
boom!
The door of the 'Stove Grilling Fish' slammed heavily on the inner wall, and the hanging doorbell was smashed flat before it could make a sound.
A very tall man led two people in.
Of those two, one had a ferocious face, and the other had a thin stature.
The eyes of the three patrolled the entire hotel lobby, and when they saw Qin Ran sitting in the corner, the three eyes lit up, and they walked towards Qin Ran with a sinister smile.
