The sound of knocking on the door came to the dining room, and Qin Ran opened his mouth without raising his head.
"Enter."
After speaking, Qin Ran picked up another newspaper.
Due to his current status, newspapers and magazines have become one of the few channels through which he can obtain news.
Although there are mobile phones here, they are all old-fashioned ones. In addition to being able to answer calls, make calls and send text messages, the only thing left is to play Snake.
Computers are also available, but they are also old-fashioned and expensive.
In order to deal with possible accidents tonight, after buying some necessary items, Qin Ran didn't have enough money to buy another computer.
However, even if he had enough money, Kieran didn't plan to buy it.
After all, according to his guess.
He'll soon be able to get a fair amount of cryptic information.
Squeak!
The restaurant door was pushed open.
However, there was no one outside the door.
The street lamp flickered again.
Squeak, squeak.
The sound of electric current accompanied by the flickering lights made the entire restaurant's front door unconsciously become weird on this quiet night.
But Qin Ran seemed to turn a blind eye.
He lowered his head, flipping through the newspaper with relish.
The restaurant door lights flicker.
The books in the restaurant are focused.
A stalemate appeared between the two, accompanied by a slight embarrassment.
Then…
The light at the restaurant's entrance flickered more and more quickly, as if to inform Qin Ran that "I'm here".
Unfortunately, Qin Ran didn't pay attention at all.
After the lights flickered for two or three seconds,
Snapped!
The overwhelmed light bulb finally burst.
As the sparks splashed, a black shadow flashed away.
The entrance of the restaurant without street lights fell into darkness in the true sense. The lights in the restaurant can only illuminate the area less than one meter square outside the door.
Farther away, it was pitch black.
Step, step.
A loud footstep sounded in the darkness outside the door.
But no figure appeared.
Crunch, crunch.
About three or four seconds later, there was a burst of abnormal noise from the ceiling above Qin Ran's head. It was the moaning sound of the wooden boards that were continuously exerted by heavy feet stepping on the floor of the second floor.
Such sounds continued one after another, as if they were about to trample the entire ceiling.
But Qin Ran picked up the chicken soup and took a sip before sinking into it again.
That voice paused.
Then, a gust of wind suddenly blew into the room.
The wind is subtle, but extremely cold.
When ordinary people are blown, they will immediately shudder.
Qin Ran frowned slightly.
Undoubtedly, the wind felt Qin Ran's frown, and immediately became colder and colder, blowing at Qin Ran with all his strength.
Qin Ran frowned more and more tightly.
Then, I raised my hand.
Snapped!
With the crisp sound of the switch, the little sun placed in the bar was turned on. This was left by John Deason in the bar. Kieran checked it, and after confirming that it was usable, he kept it for the mimosa.
Although he is extremely weakened, he is still in the peak state of ordinary people. As long as the climate change is not extreme, it is basically useless to him, but Mimosa is different. Be careful to keep warm.
The warm orange light shone around Qin Ran.
The cold wind was instantly melted by the warm light.
Not only is it no longer cold, but it can't even blow.
Only a translucent figure remained, crawling there... crying loudly.
"I'm so useless!"
"Being bullied while alive."
"Being bullied even after death."
"If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have died!"
A miserable cry sounded at Qin Ran's feet. Under the warm light of the little sun, the translucent voice became faintly visible and would disappear at any moment.
However, Qin Ran has no plans to shut down Little Sunshine.
Even, he didn't even intend to pay attention to the other party, and still read his own newspaper.
"You have no sympathy!"
After crying for a minute, the dead man who was crawling there looked up at Qin Ran who was maintaining his posture, and couldn't help but roared, and then... cried even louder.
Snapped!
There was the sound of plates falling to the ground and breaking into pieces in the kitchen.
Undoubtedly, Mimosa was startled by the sudden sound.
Qin Ran raised his eyebrows.
"Shut up."
Amidst the cold reprimand, the dead person crawling there immediately shut up.
Not only did he close his mouth, but his entire body trembled.
Obviously, it was frightened.
After three or four seconds, the other party seemed to think of something.
"I'm already dead!"
"Why should I be afraid of the living?"
"The living should be afraid of the dead!"
Climbing there, the other party was talking to himself, and this kind of self-talking seemed to give the other party courage, so he wanted to get up like this.
However, as soon as the other party looked up, he saw Qin Ran's gloomy and cold face.
Suddenly, my knees softened, and I couldn't help but climbed there again.
Then, cried again.
However, it seemed that he was afraid of causing Qin Ran's displeasure, so the crying was very low, like sobbing.
Qin Ran frowned again.
He has seen many dead.
Fierce, cruel, and evil abound.
However, this timid one is the first time I have seen it.
If it hadn't been for confirming that Mimosa was by his side, Kieran would have thought it was a dead Mimosa.
It's not just Qin Ran who thinks this way, Mimosa herself also thinks this way.
Walking up to Qin Ran, hiding his body behind Qin Ran, Mimosa poked out his head and looked at the dead sobbing in the warm light of the small sun, his eyes were full of curiosity.
As if sensing Mimosa's gaze, the sobbing dead cautiously raised his head to look at Mimosa.
"It's ugly!"
When seeing the face of the deceased, Mimosa blurted out.
The sobbing dead man froze for a moment.
Then, he fell to the ground directly, as if the fire of his soul was going to be extinguished.
"I'm sorry, I'm ugly, so I have no friends, no life, no life. When I was alive, I was an ugly person. After I died, I became an ugly ghost, ha ha."
The dead man crawling there whispered to himself.
"Yes, I'm sorry."
"I did not do it on purpose."
"I'm just, just... Appearance doesn't mean everything, you also have advantages!"
Mimosa apologized again and again, and changed the subject.
Such a change of subject is naturally a polite word, but the dead person crawling there took it seriously.
"What advantages?!"
The other party raised his head abruptly, almost wanting to rush to Mimosa and ask Mimosa what her strengths are, but just as she raised her head, the other party's eyes collided with Qin Ran's.
thump.
The other party knelt there with weak knees again.
However, he still looked at Mimosa, hoping that Mimosa would answer.
Mimosa had obviously never encountered such a situation. After thinking for a long time and not knowing what to do, she turned her head and subconsciously looked at Qin Ran.
"Although you are ugly, stupid and cowardly, but..."
"You're very self-aware."
"That's your strength."
Under Mimosa's gaze, Qin Ran said calmly.
"I'm ugly, stupid, and timid, but I have self-knowledge. Is this my strength?"
After the face of the dead person crawling there showed a crying or laughing expression, the body began to turn into a little white like a firefly.
In the white light, the dead man became peaceful.
The ugly face softened.
"Thanks."
"I'm just a coward who wants everything but has nothing, doesn't work hard, is ugly and fat, and thinks that others don't appreciate it, escapes reality, and just daydreams in the corner of the city , Coward, even becoming a dead person is the most unpopular type."
"I don't dare to communicate with other dead people, let alone go to crowded places. I dare not fight back even when night cats and wild dogs bully me, but..."
"I really want to go to the place where there is no dispute."
"I feel that there is a breath of being able to go there. I came here quietly with the idea of just in case, but I still feel a little unwilling... Thank you for not accusing me, and thank you for fulfilling my wish, let I found my strengths."
"I am no longer a lazy, ugly, cowardly, useless guy. At least I still have merit."
"thank you all."
The other party bowed and saluted.
Mimosa's awkward return.
Although Mimosa thought that such an advantage was not worth mentioning, but when she watched the other party turn into a firefly and float away into the distance, she couldn't speak.
Moreover, Mimosa, who suddenly thought of something while looking at the other party who was going away, quietly looked at Qin Ran.
"You're not like it."
"You look better than it."
"I can still cook."
"It's even more important that you know your flaws and start learning to overcome them, and that alone puts you way above it."
Qin Ran didn't wait for Mimosa to speak, and said directly.
Hearing Qin Ran's words, Mimosa pursed her lips and smiled.
because you are here.
I have the courage to overcome my shortcomings.
otherwise…
I am no different from it.
"It's nice to meet you."
Mimosa said silently in her heart, then turned around and walked briskly towards the kitchen. Today's food is ready, but Qin Ran's breakfast is not ready yet.
Mimosa hopes that Qin Ran can eat different and nutritious food every day, including but not limited to breakfast.
And that takes a lot of effort.
As for Qin Ran
Recalling the information revealed by that 'coward' just now, he lowered his head and sorted out the existing equipment.
Electric batons, spray guns, accelerants, Molotov cocktails, and more.
Except for the electric baton which is obtained from searching, the rest is purchased. It is in a large supermarket in the neighborhood, and the cost of spray guns and combustion accelerants is quite high.
Molotov cocktails are made with cheap materials, but require a certain amount of handwork.
After wiping the five Molotov cocktails clean, Kieran placed them in the corner under the table.
Until the last moment, Kieran would not use these Molotov cocktails.
Because, that represents the worst-case scenario.
Not only will he lose the shelter in front of him, but the identity he just obtained will also be invalidated. It is even very possible that he will be wanted.
What's more, by that point, he wasn't sure he'd be able to protect Mimosa.
call!
Qin Ran let out a deep breath.
He needs to put an end to the worst things.
Fortunately, he had such an opportunity.
Sensing that the 'coward' left, the five sources of power had once again grown by one point, Kieran narrowed his eyes. Although compared with before, the growth this time was much smaller, but Kieran knew that the accumulation of a small amount made a lot of money. Therefore, he did not close the door of the restaurant and just waited quietly.
Since the 'coward' is attracted by the far away breath.
Naturally, other dead will also be attracted.
Moreover, that would be a more intense aura of going away.
Similarly, it will also allow his five sources of power to recover faster.
This will be a perfect circle!
Of course, some less friendly dead will also appear.
In fact, it was just as Qin Ran guessed.
Just a few minutes later, a dead man with a sharp knife appeared at the door of the restaurant. His ferocious face, bloody body, and malicious eyes all showed his attitude.
It is undoubtedly difficult to communicate with such a dead person.
so…
laugh!
The blue flame on the spray gun flickered.
When the deceased stepped into the restaurant, he was split in two from the waist without any response.
Then, there is John Deason's treatment.
The opponents who were divided into scores were just scattered on the ground.
"Do you have any wish?"
Kieran, holding a spray gun, lowered his head and asked.
"Kill you!"
The dead man roared with scarlet eyes.
"Um."
Kieran nodded and aimed the spray gun at the dead man's complete head.
call!
Blue flames spewed out, and the dead immediately screamed.
"no, do not want!"
"I have a wish!"
"I want to chop the most wonderful.meat.body!"
The dead roared.
Qin Ran stopped spraying from the spray gun, picked up the sharp knife that fell from the opponent, aimed at the remaining body of the opponent, and chopped it down like this.
Not once, but continuously, like chopping dumpling stuffing.
"Do you feel wonderful?"
While chopping, Qin Ran asked.
"But this is me..."
call!
The blue flame in the spray gun lit up again.
"This is the wonderful meat and body I want to chop!"
"It's really wonderful."
"This feeling is something I have never experienced before."
The dead man said seriously in the blue light.
However, the white firefly light did not appear.
Qin Ran frowned, and approached him with the spray gun in his hand.
"Take a closer look at the beauty of it."
Qin Ran said.
"Feel!"
"I can feel it!"
The other party wailed again.
"No."
"You don't feel specific enough."
Kieran who didn't see the change shook his head.
"some!"
"This time it's true!"
"I really feel it!"
The other party wailed.
"No."
"You don't feel deeply enough."
Qin Ran shook his head again, and the spray gun in his hand was directly in front of the other party. Suddenly, the wailing sound became more violent.
That unique voice spread far away.
After a while, several translucent figures like 'cowards' appeared at the restaurant door. They looked angrily at the dead being roasted by Qin Ran, and showed gratitude to Qin Ran.
Following the appearance of these dead, the scorched dead stared with scarlet eyes, and together with the other's sharp knife, became invisible.
Finally, it has understood Qin Ran's plan.
Qin Ran had no intention of letting it go.
Just playing around, taking revenge on it.
In order to attract those guys it had chopped up and let those guys get relief.
It gets it.
But what's the use
Endless darkness has come.
"Thanks."
Thanks again and again, these living beings who were hacked to death by the dead have completed the last obsession in life, and the white firefly light appeared again.
The five sources of power grew again.
However, Qin Ran looked outside the restaurant.
In the darkness, a tall figure stepped forward with a sharp aura.
