The Devil’s Cage

Chapter 1596: Doubtful

Views:

Qin Ran stepped forward.

It was as if he hadn't seen the entire row of mortuary cabinets in front of him, but... the mortuary cabinets 'saw' Qin Ran approaching, almost lagging behind, and all the mortuary cabinets shrank back in unison again.

Click!

There was a sound of machine springs, and the entire wall of the mortuary cabinet was pushed open left and right like two doors that opened inward.

A huge secret room appeared in front of Kieran.

A chair resembling an operating table was in the middle of the room, and the tiled floor around it was covered with blackened blood, and there were stumps and broken arms hanging from the chain hooks hanging in the air.

Qin Ran glanced over the rotted limbs and broken arms.

Obviously, it is not the lost arms and legs of his wife, but the ones from earlier, and the cutting technique is very rough. It is the kind of cut off with a single knife, and half of the arms and thighs are connected to the torso, just like that. It was torn straight down, so that half of the wound was flat, and the remaining half was the tearing of skin, muscle and uneven fracture of bones.

"Torture?"

Naturally, this word appeared in Qin Ran's mind.

The torn wounds and broken bones all told Qin Ran that if the cutter was serious, he could easily cut off the target's arms and legs.

However, the other party did not do so.

Instead, I chose another, more labor-intensive approach.

Apart from deliberate torture, Kieran couldn't think of any other possibility.

Following the stump and broken arm, Kieran looked at the reclining chair that looked like an operating table, with several thick and widened leather belts on it.

Undoubtedly, all the cutting is done here.

However, Kieran's focus was not on chairs or cowhide belts, but on something deeper.

laugh!

Qin Ran's fingertips ran across the surface of the chair.

The artificial leather, which was dry and rotting, tore in an instant, revealing the dirty sponge inside and a... statue the size of a child's fist.

One eye is huge, occupying two-thirds of the volume, and a moon-like statue is engraved inside.

There is no need for systematic prompts. When he saw the abstract style of the statue, Kieran was sure that it should be written by Modin.

In fact, it is.

[Name: Bad Mordin Statue]

[Type: Miscellaneous]

[Quality: Legendary]

[Attack Power: None]

[Defense: Powerful]

[Attribute: Touch of the Moon]

[Special effects: none]

[Requirement: None]

[Whether this copy can be brought out: Yes]

[Remarks: It originated from the master sculptor Modin. Although it has not been recorded, it does not affect the power contained in it.]

[Moon Touch: It can gather negative energy, attract wandering souls, transform it into pure vitality, and transmit it to the holder; 0.5 life/minute (daytime) 1 life/minute (night) 5 life/minute (bath in moonlight Or transform negative energy, wandering soul)]

"Restore life?"

Qin Ran narrowed his eyes and played with the statue in his hand.

Almost the moment he picked up the statue, translucent figures appeared in front of him in the surrounding walls and ground.

Hundreds of translucent figures crowded in this secret room densely and layer upon layer.

The face of each figure is blank, without thoughts, without memory, only the instinct of the dead to be attracted by the statue of Modin.

Kieran didn't use [Defective Modin Statue] to transform these wandering souls.

Not only was he unable to use such methods, but also because he was wary of the statue of Modin.

He has not forgotten how he came here.

After putting away the [Defective Modin Statue], those wandering souls seemed to wake up from a dream. Looking at Qin Ran in front of them, they burrowed back into the wall and the ground one by one with fearful screams. They dispersed at once.

Different from the instinct to be attracted to the Mordin statue.

Fear in the face of Kieran can make them know what to do.

After carefully checking around the secret room, and finding nothing, Kieran came out, came to the corner of the wall, and tapped Macross lightly with his toe.

"It hurts, it hurts."

With a painful groan, Macross woke up.

As soon as she opened her eyes, the female forensic doctor saw Qin Ran.

Subconsciously, the female forensic doctor clenched her fist, ready to punch Qin Ran hard.

She didn't forget how she passed out.

However, immediately, as more memories flooded in, Macross trembled all over her body, her clenched fist turned into a palm, and she was about to grab Qin Ran's trouser leg as soon as she raised her hand.

However, Kieran dodged it again.

"There are secret rooms in your morgue."

"A lot of people should have died inside."

"I suggest you contact Grady."

Qin Ran said very simply.

"The Chamber of Secrets? The Dead? Grady?"

"No no no!"

"Can't contact Grady!"

"She will definitely seal my forensic laboratory!"

"Without the forensic laboratory, I will pay off the loan!"

"If I don't pay off the loan, my house will be confiscated!"

"Without a house, I'll be living on the streets!"

After repeating Qin Ran's words in a daze, the female forensic doctor began to shake her head rapidly. She said anxiously, then stood up scramblingly, and ran towards the secret room.

"This, this is?!"

Seeing the secret room for the first time, the female forensic doctor was stunned.

Because, the scene in front of her was the same as what she saw when she entered the mortuary cabinet before.

The only difference is that she is standing now.

And before

She was trapped on the chair that looked like an operating table, and a guy shrouded in shadows with a knife in his hand was gesturing at her body with a knife.

The female forensic doctor shuddered all over.

It's not that female forensic doctors are timid.

Being able to become a forensic doctor is enough to show that Macross is very courageous.

It's just that the previous situation was too realistic.

It was exactly like what she had experienced.

Kieran stood outside the morgue, looking at Macross in the secret room, and he could clearly feel the changes in the traces of energy in the opponent's body.

Although it was a negative energy, it did not devour Macross' vitality at all, but instead nourished Macross' body.

"Psychic medium?"

Recalling a book he had read in Nicole's study, Kieran's eyes flashed with surprise.

Unlike ordinary psychics and superhumans, psychics are rare.

Because, psychic mediums are inherited entirely by luck, even if the parents are psychic mediums, the children born will not be 100% psychic mediums.

Just like those rumored prophets.

Rare and rare are specific descriptions of these people.

And when he met a forensic doctor with psychic properties at this time, Kieran thought of something more.

The original idea also changed accordingly.

"What are you going to do about it?"

Qin Ran asked.

"I… "

Instinctively, he wanted to say, close this place, and as soon as Macross spoke as if nothing happened, she inexplicably recalled the scene of being bound there just now.

Unwillingness and fear filled her heart.

Make her unable to say such words at all.

"I will investigate this matter!"

Finally, the female forensic doctor said.

Then, the female forensic doctor looked at Qin Ran expectantly.

Qin Ran who appeared in front of her in a crisis was really her life-saving straw.

What's more, Qin Ran really saved her life.

"Thank you for saving my life!"

"A sympathetic person like you, you will definitely help me, right?"

After thanking her, the female forensic doctor put her hands in front of her, widened her eyes, and tried her best to look pitiful. If she hadn't been kicked away by Qin Ran several times, she would definitely be holding Qin Ran's arm and swaying from side to side, acting like a baby.

"No."

"wrong."

"On their own."

Qin Ran replied indifferently.

"Then why did you appear here at night..."

The female forensic doctor questioned Qin Ran, but as soon as the words came out, the female forensic doctor responded.

The body of the other party's wife is here.

Even with the ex-wife, the relationship between the two is far stronger than with her, a stranger who has only met once.

Therefore, the reason why the other party appeared here was of course not because of her, but because of his ex-wife.

Thinking of this, the female forensic doctor squatted down dejectedly.

"I knew I shouldn't be taking out a mortgage to buy a house."

"I wouldn't be so burned out if I didn't buy a house."

"If I wasn't so tired, these things wouldn't happen to me."

The female forensic doctor squatted there, hugging herself, looking weak, pitiful, and helpless.

Then…

She heard Qin Ran's distant footsteps and the closing of the morgue door.

Suddenly, there was only the female forensic doctor left in the morgue.

She didn't feel anything wrong with Qin Ran just now, but now that Qin Ran left, the female forensic doctor suddenly felt that everything was wrong.

Someone seemed to be watching her from the ceiling.

Someone on the floor seemed to be watching her, too.

Someone on the left is watching her.

There seemed to be someone on the right looking at her as well.

The female forensic doctor couldn't help shivering, her hairs standing on end.

The female forensic doctor, who was complaining about herself one moment, jumped up and ran out the next moment.

She yelled as she ran.

"Wait for me!"

However, by the time the female forensic doctor chased him out, there was no sign of Qin Ran.

There are only empty streets.

The cool evening wind blows.

The female forensic doctor shivered again.

Even if the lights in the forensic studio were not turned off, he didn't dare to go back and turn them off, so he just ran towards the crowded place.

After watching the female forensic doctor leave in a panic, Qin Ran began to search for any suspicious buildings within a 10-kilometer radius around the Macross forensic studio.

After finding nothing, Qin Ran searched the entire community in the same way after returning to the 'Em Street' community.

Again, nothing unusual.

"There are changes in the arms, but there is no change in the torso and head. I can sit up, and it's just those wandering spirits playing tricks."

"Even if the opponent is only controlling the arm, there should be a trace of breath within a radius, but there is no breath left around."

When the arm appeared, according to Qin Ran's mysterious knowledge, the head and torso of the corpse would also change. Therefore, Qin Ran went to the forensic laboratory to find more clues.

But the development of the matter was obviously different from what Qin Ran thought.

"Using a secret technique that I don't know?"

"Or maybe you found something wrong and immediately erased all traces?"

"Or does that arm belong to someone else?"

Qin Ran recalled the scenes he encountered before.

More questions started to arise.

Then, Kieran thought of the [Defective Modin Statue] he had just obtained.

"Is that [Defective Modin Statue] already there?"

"Or is this also the arrangement of the other party?"

"If it's the other party's arrangement, then... what does the other party want to do?"

Qin Ran would never believe that there is such a thing as a pie in the sky.

Although [Defective Modin Statue] is nothing to him, it is still a rare good thing for others.

Giving up such a good thing must be because of greater benefits.

"Could it be..."

"Someone here is also collecting statues of Modin?"

Qin Ran suddenly thought of something.

With this hypothesis, more guesses appeared in Qin Ran's mind.

"if it is like this… "

Qin Ran narrowed his eyes slightly, and a bright light flashed across them.

With one jump, Qin Ran quietly returned to the room of this identity.

The sky in the east is already lit up at this moment.

Chaoyang did not know when it had appeared.

A new day has begun.

The two police officers who stared at 2-1-6 all night began to yawn.

"coffee."

Grady, who was riding a motorcycle, passed the coffee in her hand to the two subordinates.

"Thanks, boss."

Two police officers took the coffee.

"How about it?"

Grady asked.

"There was nothing abnormal. After tidying up the room, I fell asleep. Around dawn, I got up and started to wash and move around."

"I just went to the 4-2-2 Love Food House and got a lot of food back."

"Good appetite."

"It doesn't look like someone whose wife just died."

A police officer reported.

"It's the ex-wife."

"If the relationship breaks down and divorces, then, in the bottom of my heart, I am afraid that the other party will die, right?"

"Now that people are dead, isn't it just right?"

"Boss, have you found anything?"

Another police officer corrected, and then looked at Grady.

"I investigated the information of the two and found that..."

Just when Grady was about to say something, the female sheriff suddenly looked not far away.

A man with a tired face was stumbling over.

"Excuse me, is this the residence of Doctor 2567?"

The other party asked Grady politely, but the red blood in the other party's eyes made such politeness very weird.

"Yes, there it is."

Grady pointed to the gate of 2-1-6.

"Thanks."

After the other party thanked him politely, he speeded up and walked towards the gate of 2-1-6, and directly rang the doorbell.

"Doctor 2567?"

"I'm making an appointment for your patient."

"I'm sorry I came early, please help me."

In the sound of prayers, the little nurse came out and motioned for the other party to go in.

Looking at the back of the other party going away, Grady frowned slightly.

"What's the matter, boss?"

asked a subordinate.

"Don't you think that person looks familiar?"

Grady asked.

"look familiar?"

Another subordinate was stunned, and the subordinate who spoke before seemed to have remembered something.

"He seems to be..."
