The taxi stopped in front of the Garden of the Saints.
After paying the fare, Qin Ran stepped out of the car and looked at the flower shop in front of him.
That's right, Saint's Garden is a flower shop.
A not very big, but extremely delicate flower shop.
In front of the two small windows on the left and right, there are colorful flowers on one side, and the other side is pure green and lush, which looks full of vitality.
The door that can only be opened by one person is in the middle of the two windows.
Anyone who walks through this door will feel as if they are in the forest or grassland.
Even the fragrance of earth can appear on the tip of the nose.
Kieran who was standing in front of the door rubbed his nose.
He confirmed that this is not an illusion, but real!
Subconsciously, Kieran glanced at the flowers and green potted plants on both sides.
"Magic circle?"
Qin Ran looked at the flowers and green potted plants arranged in a special way on both sides, feeling a little uncertain.
The proficient level of [mysterious knowledge] allows him to unimpeded most of the special knowledge, but it is still powerless to accurately identify a magic circle.
In the end, Qin Ran, who did not come to a definite conclusion, looked at the closed door in front of him.
The upper side of the door has a glass window bisected by a frame.
However, it is not the clearly visible type, but the patterned and raised frosted glass, which is thicker than the one commonly used in bathrooms.
Even if Kieran's perception reaches c-level, with such a glass barrier, he can only vaguely see people moving around in the shop.
Want to see the inside of the store for real
Unless you can see through.
And at this moment, Qin Ran suddenly realized that the placement of flowers and potted plants in the windows on both sides also blocked the sight of people outside just right.
It is in line with the 'hidden' needs of special people.
Qin Ran evaluated from the bottom of his heart, and then pushed open the door in front of him.
Ding Ding!
The bell hanging behind the door rang as the door opened.
"welcome!"
Holding a watering can, the man who was watering the flowers and plants in front of him greeted Qin Ran who walked into the flower shop.
The other party was wearing a dark red suit, with a white handkerchief in the left breast pocket, showing a corner slightly, and his black-brown half-length hair was combed neatly behind his head, and the corners of his mouth were turned up, as if with a smile, but The eyes are calm and unwavering.
It can be said that except for the watering can in the hands of the other party, the spotless other party is incompatible with the entire flower shop.
Obviously, the other party could not be the original boss of Saints' Garden: Simmons.
"You can call me Karl Ross, here on behalf of the Dark Star Association!"
"I thought I'd wait more time!"
"But 2567, you are more decisive than you imagined!"
"And I like this kind of personality, so I think we can have a more pleasant conversation!"
The other party introduced himself.
Then, the man who called himself Carlos bowed slightly to Qin Ran and made a gesture of invitation.
Although it was just a very simple movement, it gave Kieran a familiar feeling.
Steinbeck!
Qin Ran instantly thought of that timid Mimosa.
Carlos in front of him has a temperament similar to Mimosa.
But the essential strength is enough to make the latter unmatched.
Even if he didn't show it in a real sense, when he faced the opponent, he felt an invisible pressure all the time.
This made Qin Ran feel very uncomfortable.
However, Qin Ran, who had already anticipated what would happen, did not become timid because of this.
Glancing at the other party, Qin Ran walked in slowly.
After passing through a glass door, Qin Ran entered a room with a relatively modern decoration. A middle-aged man with a short stature, slightly fat body, wearing a plaid shirt and an apron was pacing impatiently in the room. pace.
Seeing Qin Ran walking in suddenly, the other party was taken aback.
"Simmons?"
Qin Ran glanced at the dirt on the opponent's cuffs and trousers, and asked speculatively.
At the same time, he looked warily at the door on the side of the room.
Although blocked by the door, he couldn't see the evil inside, but Kieran was sure that there were people there.
The sound of breathing is too obvious.
"it's me!"
"You must be 2567!"
"Great! Where's Nicole?"
The other party said happily, and looked behind Kieran, but what he saw was Carlos who was walking in slowly.
Immediately, Simmons' face changed.
"Nikeri didn't come, are you disappointed?"
Karl Rose looked at Simmons with a half-smile.
"certainly!"
"If Nicole is here, I look forward to seeing you laughing!"
Simmons snorted coldly.
"Of course I can laugh!"
"After all, we are not enemies!"
"Whether it's towards Nikelle, you, or 2567, our Dark Star Association doesn't have any hostility. The reason I'm here is just to ask 2567 something!"
Karl Rose kept that smile and said clearly.
After the voice fell, Karl Rose snapped his fingers.
Snapped!
After a crisp sound, the door on one side opened, and a group of people holding various objects came out.
Under Qin Ran's gaze, a square table appeared in the room. It was covered with a white tablecloth, and silver dishes with lids were placed on the tablecloth in an orderly manner. It has a bright luster, but compared with the fragrance emanating from under the lid, this brightness seems to be overshadowed.
"If you don't mind, let's talk while eating?"
Carlos seemed to be asking, but he was already sitting in the chair brought by his hand.
Simmons sneered and sat down too.
Qin Ran sat beside Simmons.
“Oyster cream soup, honey ham and fruit wood veal steak are my favourites!”
"Lasagne and tiramisu hope you like it!"
Carlos introduced the lunch food to the guests like a host.
The surrounding subordinates acted as waiters, and whenever Karl Rose introduced a dish, they would open the lid, and the aroma that had been exuded from the gap between the lid and the dinner plate became stronger all of a sudden.
The deliciousness of the oyster cream soup, the sweetness of the honey-glazed ham and the fragrance of the fruit wood veal steak all merged together in an instant, and began to impact Kieran's sense of smell.
And when the hot cheese in the lasagna collided with the cold air of tiramisu, a sweetness different from the previous appeared.
It was a kind of creamy but not boring sweetness, which made Qin Ran's index finger twitch.
However, reason told Qin Ran what to do now.
After glancing at the food in front of him with a little regret, he looked at Karl Rose.
Simmons' gaze never left Carlos from beginning to end.
But under the gaze of the two, Carlos didn't feel any discomfort at all. He took a spoon and poured the oyster cream soup on the honey-glazed ham. After fully stirring with the fat of the ham, he took the table knife With a touch of the mixed juice, spread it on the fruit wood veal steak.
After that, is the real sense of eating.
"I love the mix of flavors!"
"You can try it too!"
Carlos said while eating.
"Explain your reason for coming, stop pretending like this!"
Simmons said in a bad tone.
“I really don’t understand the beauty of food!”
"2567 what about you?"
Carlos looked at Qin Ran.
"If you sit at the same table with the wrong person, then even the most delicious food will become tasteless, and if you force yourself to eat it, it will be like chewing wax!"
Qin Ran replied.
"Very good statement!"
"No wonder the taste I've always liked has changed a bit today!"
Karl Ross dropped his knife and fork.
clang!
The metal knife and fork collided with the porcelain plate.
Amidst the crisp impact, Karl Ross pulled out the napkin under the plate and wiped his mouth.
His eyes scanned Qin Ran and Simmons.
It's like a beast that hasn't eaten enough yet, picking its next prey.
On Kieran's retina, the reminder of "Shock and Awe" kept popping up.
However, they all passed the test, and there was no abnormal state.
After being silent for a few seconds, Karl Ross laughed again.
"just kidding!"
The other party said so.
But Kieran could tell that the other party's eyes definitely didn't mean to be joking. If he or Simmons fell into the state of [Shock], something bad would definitely happen.
'An organization that's not too good and not too bad, has its own rules, and plays by them! '
Regarding Ni Kelei's evaluation of the Dark Star Association.
Qin Ran was deeply suspicious.
After all, the Karl Roth in front of him was full of the feeling of teasing others and putting on airs, and he didn't look like a person with his own rules.
Or is Karl Ross an exception
Qin Ran thought like this.
"My purpose, 2567, you should have guessed!"
"I want to know what happened to you and your companions after they landed on Alcatel Island!"
"At the same time, I hope that such a thing, you will not advance to others!"
"Of course, Nicole is not in this category!"
Karl Rose made a please gesture to Simmons while talking.
Simmons glared at Karl Ross angrily, and then, after another glance at Qin Ran, he walked towards the side room under the 'escort' of Karl Ross's men.
During the whole process, Simmons did not resist.
No more hints were given to Qin Ran.
Because, he knew very well that in the face of Carlos, unless Nicole came in person, any means would be useless.
Qin Ran was also aware of this.
So, after watching Simmons leave, Kieran was ready to speak.
He was going to repeat what he had told Nikore.
"I… "
But just as Qin Ran uttered a word, the voice stopped abruptly.
A palm appeared on his shoulder at some unknown time.
The bone-piercing chill spread from that palm to his whole body, as if it was going to freeze him to death.
who? !
Qin Ran's heart skipped a beat.
