The Devil’s Cage

Chapter 1537: cooperate?

Views:

Facing the former Dark Eater kneeling on one knee, Kieran didn't speak immediately, but picked up the communicator on the table and waved to Frostwolf.

The clever Frostwolf immediately ran over, picked up the communicator and ran out. When he sensed the safe enough distance through the contract, Kieran asked, "Lester, who among the dark eaters might Do you have dinner-level food?"

"As far as I know, no."

"Dark eaters are predators by nature. Unless there is an accident, they will eat the food they get as soon as possible to strengthen their own strength."

The former Dark Eater shook his head.

"is that so?"

Although he had already had a similar guess, Qin Ran still had some regrets when he confirmed the guess.

However, this did not prevent Kieran from questioning the former Dark Eater later.

Compared with the information obtained from books, the information in front of Lester's mouth is undoubtedly more specific, comprehensive and true.

"Dark Eater has a loose alliance structure, and will occasionally hold some parties and the like. Most of the time, it is to provide shelter for Dark Eater. Of course, you need to give corresponding rewards. If not, don't expect to get the slightest help. .”

"There are very few fights among the Dark Eaters, but it is not impossible. Once it breaks out, it is basically a life-and-death battle. The Dark Eater Alliance will not give any help to the two sides, nor will it dissuade them."

"The Dark Eaters Alliance in Tre Otto was once wiped out by the head of District E, Ron Muth, but it quickly revived, and the Dark Eaters became more and more careful about concealment."

Lester told everything he knew, including what he didn't tell Senior and the clerk.

"Resurrection?"

"Are there many people?"

When Qin Ran heard what he was most interested in, he immediately asked.

"I can't be sure, but according to the last gathering, there were 30 people present, and the number is definitely not a small number."

"Because many dark eaters will not participate in these gatherings at all. They are more used to sending representatives to participate. At least the things that appeared in that gathering are definitely not something that one or two people can collect."

Lester expressed his inference.

"When is the next meeting of the Dark Eaters?"

Qin Ran continued to ask.

"If the date has not been changed, it should be during the three days of Theoret's anniversary!"

Lester replied.

Kieran knew about Theriot's anniversary, and he still got the information from the books.

Starting from Friday of the second week of October every year, until Sunday morning, a total of three days to celebrate the anniversary of Theoret, and Theoret, which has a "curfew" throughout the year, will be on those three days. During the day and night, students of all grades will take to the streets to celebrate in their own way.

Fireworks and floats are a must.

But the most fresh in Qin Ran's memory was the "Gourmet Food Competition" mentioned above, a battle game where one could obtain food at a tenth of the usual price or even lower.

Unconsciously, Kieran felt his saliva secreting rapidly again.

He took a deep breath and swallowed back his saliva.

For a while, he needs to be patient.

Moreover, there are more important things to do in front of him.

It was about another half an hour of conversation, and when the sky lightened slightly, the conversation really ended.

"My lord, if you are worried about the communicator, you can give it to me to modify it."

At the end of the conversation, Lester said suddenly.

"OK."

Qin Ran looked at the Dark Eater in surprise. What he didn't expect was that the other party was good at mechanical modification. When the other party took out his tool bag and disassembled the communicator that Frostwolf brought back with ease, Qin Ran wisely chose to give up watching.

He couldn't understand the pile of electrofusions, transistors, etc. at all.

Although after becoming a lone traveler, Kieran tried his best to make himself more comprehensive, but this 'comprehensive' prefers fighting.

As for outside of combat

You can't expect one person to be omniscient.

Just like you can't expect Kieran to give up the food in his hand to other strangers.

About twenty minutes later, Lester handed over the installed communicator to Qin Ran.

"There is no problem inside. I also added a defense module to make it impossible to be eavesdropped. Even if someone actually breaks through its defense module, it will call the police."

Lester explained to Qin Ran.

After Qin Ran was able to use this communicator proficiently, the whole apartment was already buzzing, and the freshmen woke up from their sleep again to welcome a new day.

But every day in Theoret is destined to be extraordinary.

What happened last night has already spread throughout the ages.

Whether it is the death of more than fifty people, or the dark eater's abandonment of darkness, in the eyes of all freshmen, they are all so legendary.

And when two legendary events originate from one person, that person naturally becomes a legend.

Every freshman who passed by the door of Qin Ran's room would stop, and they would look at it in awe, even Micah and Steinert were no exception.

Especially Micah.

"Is the gap that big?"

The freshman chief's deputy muttered in a low voice.

Micah is not afraid of fighting, and even likes fighting very much in a certain way, but because of this, he is quite self-aware.

One person faces fifty people.

Even if he has some kind of special ability, he cannot defeat it.

You must know that the number of fifty is no longer a quantitative change causing a qualitative change, but every opponent that needs to be taken seriously by him in order to win.

Once more than two

There is no doubt that you will lose!

After obtaining the identities of the attackers from his friends, Mica knew this very well.

"Don't worry, the chief is different from us."

Seeing his friend's distraught appearance after waking up, Steiner regretted telling his friend the information he knew.

"Uh-huh."

Mica nodded again and again, but it could be clearly seen that his eyes were not in focus.

"Don't forget we're here to report to the chief."

Steiner increased his voice, but Micah hadn't returned to normal.

Stent sighed, walked towards Qin Ran's door, and was about to knock on the door, but the moment Stent raised his hand, the door opened just like that.

"Morning, chief."

After a moment of surprise, Steiner greeted immediately.

Not only Stent, but also the surrounding freshmen greeted Qin Ran respectfully when they saw him.

"Morning, chief."

"Um."

Qin Ran nodded slightly in response.

The freshmen immediately speeded up their departure.

They knew very well why the two new chief assistants, Steinert and Micah, appeared here.

They didn't want to stay here and affect the reports of these two. Even the freshmen who were most curious in their hearts and wanted to take a closer look at Qin Ran and find out how different Qin Ran was from ordinary people did not stay for long.

You know, this report is very important, and if any bad results happen, they will be the ones who are unlucky.

"What's up?"

Qin Ran asked directly.

"It's about the tutorial class!"

"The guidance class originally scheduled for the third graders on the weekend was changed to this morning, and representatives from the second, third, and fourth graders attended together."

Stewart replied.

Then, after a pause, he looked at Qin Ran's still indifferent face, and then continued: "According to the information I got, this is a common practice for senior students to 'show their strength in a friendly way'."

"Of course, such friendship just doesn't involve death."

"Bruised nose and swollen face or broken bones and tendons are common."

"The chief student and the two assistants of the chief student are generally the ones who are given the most attention."

"Is it necessary to participate?"

Qin Ran asked.

"It doesn't have to be..."

"Then I won't participate."

Qin Ran said very simply.

"But if you participate and defeat the senior students, you will get the corresponding 'fast food' and 'bento' food..."

"When does it begin?"

Qin Ran asked more bluntly.

Are you switching too quickly for food

The corner of Stent's mouth twitched as he looked at Qin Ran, but he still said clearly, "At ten o'clock in the morning, the big playground in District E."

"I will arrive on time."

After Qin Ran finished speaking, he closed the door.

Looking at the closed door, Steiner showed a wry smile on his face.

He still has more things to report about the work of the chief student.

But he wisely didn't knock on the door again.

Pulling Micah, who was still in a daze, Steiner walked towards the cafeteria.

However, when Steiner came to the cafeteria, he realized that Qin Ran, who was supposed to be behind them, actually appeared in front of them.

"You are really on time."

Steiner quickly chased after him, and while talking, he glanced at the cold-faced young man in his early twenties standing beside Qin Ran.

Is he the dark eater

Steiner guessed.

"It's not gentlemanly to make food wait."

Qin Ran replied.

"I hope you can carry forward such a gentleman's demeanor, at least when facing your job as the chief student, you should maintain this demeanor."

Meeting Qin Ran again, Steinert would not give up such an opportunity. He reminded Qin Ran that he hoped that Qin Ran could fulfill his duties.

But then, Steinert discovered how naive he was.

"Isn't there you?"

Qin Ran asked in surprise, as if Stent had said something that went against common sense.

"But we can't replace you!"

Steiner emphasized.

"Of course you can't replace me, but... the work that the chief student did not complete can be handed over to the two chief student assistants."

"You guys are doing a great job, keep going."

"I trust you!"

Qin Ran nodded approvingly, and after giving Stent an encouraging look, he quickened his pace, leaving Stent holding Mika standing still.

Stent looked at Qin Ran's back, raised his hand, and wanted to say something.

But in the end, nothing was said.

"Micah, it looks like our workload will be doubled all the time...Huh, Micah?"

Stent turned his head to find a friend to complain about, and when he was discussing work arrangements, he realized that the dazed friend he had been dragging had walked up the steps of the cafeteria at some point and entered the cafeteria quickly.

Immediately, Stent was left alone.

He stared blankly ahead, and finally let out a sigh.

The kind full of melancholy.

"Abc three sets of three sets each."

"What do you need, Lester?"

Last night's battle was not just a harvest of props, Kieran also found enough coins from those attackers.

"B meal, one serving"

The ex-dark eater scanned the menu, choosing the one that looked the most exquisite.

The speed of food delivery in the cafeteria was as fast as before, just like Qin Ran's speed of eating.

The nine breakfasts were quickly swept away, and at this time the former dark eater had just finished eating that one and was about to put the tableware into the sink.

However, just as the former dark eater picked up the tableware, a feeling of being peeped rose from the bottom of his heart.

Without any hesitation, the former dark eater put down the tableware and stood in front of Qin Ran.

"who?"

"come out!"

The former dark eater shouted in a low voice.

"Don't get me wrong, 2567 and I are old friends."

Following this sound, Oliver Ryder in a black suit walked in, the red handkerchief on his chest was still extremely conspicuous.

The former Dark Eater didn't leave Kieran's body, and still looked at Oliver Ryder vigilantly.

He instinctively sensed a danger from the opponent.

"It's okay, Lester."

After Kieran said something to the former Dark Eater, he looked at Oliver Ryder with a polite and polite smile on his face.

"Hope you remember our trading hours."

Qin Ran reminded the other party.

According to the agreement between the two parties, Qin Ran exchanged one "dinner"-level "dinner", two normal-level "bento", and seven "instant food" for the other party's "dinner"-level food. There is a time limit, and that time is coming soon.

"of course I remember."

"That's why I'm here."

"However, 2567, you are really surprising. Many people around me are amazed by your deeds."

"I heard that you have been to Professor Smith's laboratory before?"

Oliver Ryder replied, with obvious compliments in his words, and then, very abruptly, the other party changed the subject.

"Um."

Qin Ran nodded calmly.

"What do you think of it there?"

Oliver Ryder carefully considered his words.

"What's the meaning?"

Qin Ran, who vaguely guessed what the other party wanted to do, asked back pretending to be puzzled.

"I hope to have a deeper cooperation with you, 2567."

"In exchange for a meal above the 'dinner' level."

"If you agree, we can sign the notarization right away."

Oliver Ryder said with a smile on his face.

"Oh, what kind of cooperation is worth a meal above the 'dinner' level?"

Qin Ran was not moved at all.

Although he is very tempted by a food above the level of 'dinner', at the moment he is more vigilant in his heart.

Of course, there was an expression full of interest on his face, and seeing such an expression, Oliver Ryder obviously misunderstood something, the other party lowered his voice and said.

"Do you know what Professor Smith is working on?"
