That figure stared at Qin Ran in the restaurant, his gaze was sharper than his breath, like a knife, which made people tremble unconsciously.
The momentum is fierce, but there is no killing intent.
Qin Ran, who could clearly distinguish the difference, looked back at the other party calmly.
A black windbreaker, boots of the same color, and a jazz hat that is still black make the other party standing in front of the shadow give the illusion that he and the shadow become one at any time.
"Hastati?"
The other party asked in a low tone.
Qin Ran frowned.
He can understand the pronunciation of the other party, but he does not understand the meaning.
Facing Qin Ran's puzzlement, the other party gave a sharp pause, and after about a second, he asked again with uncertainty: "Villites?"
The same weird pronunciation made Qin Ran frowned even tighter.
"Please speak common language, thank you."
Qin Ran didn't plan to play riddles with the other party anymore.
He is not good at this kind of oblique way of speaking, even if the other party appears here is probably the person he guessed.
Qin Ran didn't think the other party's status was different, so he needed to change his way of speaking.
Apart from dealing with real friends, Qin Ran has always been 'businesslike'.
What's more, he is still playing another identity now.
"Aren't you a 'grazer'?"
After the other party hesitated for a moment, he asked with uncertainty.
"The shepherd?"
"shepherd?"
Qin Ran asked back.
Such rhetorical questions made the person in front of him even more uncertain.
The other party looked at Qin Ran suspiciously.
The astonishment on his face didn't look fake, especially with that young appearance, it was easy to gain the other party's trust.
But the opponent who has suffered similar losses more than once dare not take risks lightly.
The other party began to approach Qin Ran little by little, without any trace.
And Kieran
Turning around, he closed the door, returned to the table, sat in the chair again, picked up a new magazine and began to read.
Don't explain yourself to someone who doubts you.
Any explanation is superfluous!
For the one who doubts you, it becomes nothing but a cover-up.
Even if the explanation is reasonable and reasonable, it will only make the other party think that you are carefully prepared.
So, at this time, just wait.
Wait until the suspect asks or investigates.
Qin Ran believed that if the other party was really the person he guessed, it would be very easy to get his information.
In fact, it is.
Only half an hour later, that person came back.
After politely knocking on the door and obtaining Qin Ran's permission, the man entered the restaurant.
Compared with the fierceness just now, the other party seemed very gentle at this time.
The lines of the face were not as rigid as before, and after showing some wrinkles, there was an undisguised admiration in his eyes.
"terribly sorry."
"I misunderstood earlier."
"So, please don't mind, I'm Ed Wang, and like you, I'm also a second-generation immigrant, but my father came here earlier than your father."
The other party took off his jazz hat, put it on his chest, and leaned slightly.
"Luo Yan."
Qin Ran gave a fake name.
"Luo Yan?"
"Nice name."
"Nice to meet you Luo Yan, is this the restaurant for you and your brother?"
"Can I have a full meal?"
Ed Wang asked with a smile.
"Roast rabbit 100, fried rice 15, chicken soup 10."
Qin Ran didn't act immediately, but quoted the price.
"A bit expensive."
Ed Wang, who was talking like this, was not slow in his actions. He just took out the exact banknotes, one for 100, one for 20, and one for 5.
"Please wait."
Qin Ran took the money, checked it, and put it into the cash box.
Soon, the whole meal was placed on the tray and placed in front of Ed Wang.
"It's delicious!"
“Excellent value for money!”
"Your brother's craft is awesome!"
Just wanting to be polite, Ed Wang, who opened the topic, is obviously a man of knowledge. After just smelling it, he gave Luo Yan a thumbs up. good words.
Ed Wang, who had chewed and swallowed the bones of the roasted rabbit, let out a satisfied sigh.
"It's been a long time since I ate something so good."
"Luo Yan, you are not curious at all, what did you encounter?"
With a sigh, Ed Wang looked at Qin Ran.
"In the mountains and forests, strange things go far beyond the city."
Qin Ran said the answer he had prepared long ago.
In Qin Ran's forged identity, he and Mimosa are both second-generation immigrants from a remote mountain village.
"Right."
"Only in the mountains and forests can you develop a physique like yours."
Ed Wang nodded.
Qin Ran didn't hide his body at the peak of ordinary people. It would be inconspicuous to ordinary people, but it was enough to surprise Ed Wang who is a "grazer".
It's not that he hasn't seen a stronger body.
However, it is very rare for someone to grow to this level without guidance.
Such people can only appear in inaccessible mountains and forests.
Because there are too many things that are good for people.
As long as you get one, you can completely change your life.
Of course, the premise is that you have enough luck.
The Qin Ran in front of him seemed to Ed Wang to be a lucky young man.
After swallowing some items that are extremely beneficial to people, he did not explode and die, but grew up smoothly and came to the city.
Net worth.
Young and cultivable.
The most important thing is that Ed Wang, who is a member of the 'Grassers', will naturally not let go of such a reserve.
Ed. Wang took a deep breath, and said directly: "Luo Yan, I hope you can join the 'herdr'!"
"Join 'grazers'?"
Facing the expected invitation, Qin Ran felt calm.
If the other party doesn't invite him, who looks good, Kieran will feel suspicious instead, and at this time? Naturally, there was a hint of surprise on his face just right.
"That's right."
"Join the 'grazers'!"
"The things you encountered just now are under the control of the herdsmen!"
"and… "
Ed Wang unconsciously elongated his tone, and when Qin Ran looked at him, the herdsman said slowly: "Besides, joining the 'herdsman' is your only way to survive! If you leave Ai City and return to the mountains, you will be in big trouble!"
"Why?"
Qin Ran asked cooperatively.
"The roe dies of the musk deer, and the deer dies of its horns!"
"You are strong, far beyond ordinary people."
"If you have a little skill, ten ordinary people are no match for you."
"But just because you are so strong, you will be targeted by some guys... If you guessed correctly, you should have swallowed some special things, right?"
As he spoke, Ed Wang looked at Qin Ran.
Qin Ran remained silent, but his heart kept turning.
Are there 'ingredients' in the forest that can directly make people stronger
if…
Thinking of something, Qin Ran sat there quietly, listening to Ed Wang's next words.
"What you devour makes you strong and dangerous!"
"You are extremely powerful when facing ordinary people, but you are not only facing ordinary people. Just like the legends you heard in the mountains and forests, some of those legends are true."
"You who have devoured something precious is a great tonic for those guys—they will stare at you, looking for your flaws, until they devour you."
"Don't get it wrong. What you just encountered is everything. Those are just the tip of the iceberg. The most powerful of them is far beyond your imagination. You can't be an opponent at all."
"What's worse is that what you have done has exposed yourself, and what awaits you will only be a disaster!"
Ed Wang said seriously.
Qin Ran looked at the other party, the other party's eyes were sincere, and his face was full of sincerity.
But Qin Ran would not believe everything that a stranger who had only met once said, especially on the premise that the other party wanted him to join the so-called 'herder', any words would need to be put with a question mark in his heart.
And Ed Wang continued.
"Are you wondering why I, the 'grazer', didn't make a move?"
"We have our rules."
"We follow the rules and cannot take action until a vicious incident is really triggered."
"Simply put, even if we make a move in the end, you and your brother may encounter misfortune."
"You don't want your brother to suffer misfortune, do you?"
As Ed Wang spoke, he looked at Qin Ran expectantly.
Then, after seeing Qin Ran nodding his head, Ed Wang was overjoyed.
The 'grazers' were not in great numbers.
One more reserve, in Ed Wang's view, is excellent.
"You agreed?"
Almost, Ed Wang asked impatiently.
"No."
"I reject."
"I don't want to get involved in any fights, I just want to stay here quietly, prepare a piece of food for the hungry people at night, and use it in exchange for rewards to support myself."
Qin Ran shook his head and said the answer he had prepared long ago.
In Qin Ran's plan, all he wanted was to get more information about this world from the other party's mouth, not to join the other party.
Qin Ran knew very well what kind of treatment it would be if he joined the other party with his current strength.
errands.
Or slightly better.
Want better
Totally impossible.
Don't you expect any treatment from a newcomer
If you don't learn from the veterans for a period of time, the newcomers will always be the bottom group of labor force before they are qualified to be independent.
All industries are similar.
Even a seemingly simple sale is no exception.
And 'grazer' even more so.
Qin Ran could completely imagine that before he gained enough strength and experience, he followed the opponent every day. Although he didn't mind learning more, he didn't have enough time to follow the rules to complete all these at the moment.
Therefore, he had to choose another path.
Thankfully, he temporarily found it.
Fulfill the wish of those dead and restore the source power!
Maybe only a small part can be recovered every time, but Qin Ran understands the truth that if you accumulate sand to form a tower, you can travel thousands of miles without accumulating steps.
Facing Qin Ran's answer without hesitation, Ed Wang sighed.
"what a pity."
"Originally, I thought we could add one more member."
Ed Wang said regretfully. Suddenly, he took out a flashlight, pointed it at Qin Ran's eyes, and then pressed the switch.
A ray of light appeared, and Ed Wang's voice continued.
"However, I will still come here often in the future. After all, the food here is really a pity, and you no longer recognize me... Who am I? Why am I here? What am I going to do?"
The light shone on the plate blocking Kieran's face.
The smooth porcelain plate reflected the light, which reflected into Ed Wang's eyes.
After the pupils contracted several times quickly, Ed Wang was stunned in place, and the flashlight in his hand fell directly. Qin Ran's eyes were quick and his hands were quick, and he grabbed the extinguished flashlight in his hand.

…
[Memory Clearing: Clearing memories within an hour requires a mental judgment. When the mental attribute exceeds e+, memory clearing will be greatly affected.]
…
When Kieran held the flashlight-like [Memory Eraser], the relevant attributes appeared on Kieran's retina.
"Is it the spiritual limit of ordinary people?"
Looking at the annotations in the properties, Kieran took another look at the features that could not be brought out of the dungeon, and simply stuffed the [Memory Eraser] into Ed Wang's pocket.
And when Qin Ran sat back in his chair, Ed Wang came back to his senses.
He first looked around suspiciously.
Then, staring fixedly at Qin Ran, he unconsciously became fierce. .
"Hastati?"
"Villites?"
Just like when we first met an hour ago, Ed Wang asked.
"We've talked about this issue before."
"I'm not a 'grazer' and have no interest in joining a 'grazer.'"
Qin Ran said very simply.
Ed Wang looked suspicious.
Before
I know him
I talked to him
Why do I have no memory
"You said you were willing to exchange some useful information for the meal, but I don't know why you chose to take out that flashlight."
"Besides, it's still a very bad flashlight. You pressed it for a long time and it didn't turn on. It only turned on when you lowered your head to check."
"If you're walking at night, I suggest you change it. There are supermarkets in the neighborhood. It's cheaper and brighter."
Qin Ran pointed to the other party's pocket, with the same doubt on his face, and a look of kind suggestion.
"Flashlight?"
Ed Wang was stunned, and the other party, who had reacted instantly, subconsciously touched his pocket. When he held the [Memory Eraser], his slightly confused brain finally became clear.
I was erased by myself
