The Devil’s Cage

Chapter 1639: Don't trust strangers?

Views:

The sun has risen high.

The hustle and bustle from the street and the sunlight were blocked by thick curtains. The curtains were chosen by Qin Ran. They were divided into two layers: gauze curtains and blackout curtains. With the sound insulation of the windows, Mimosa could sleep well during the day. Won't be woken up.

Looking at the mimosa curled up in a ball on the bed, Qin Ran raised his hand to tuck in the quilt and sat down on the floor.

For Qin Ran, who was extremely weak at this moment, but still at the peak of ordinary people, the coldness of autumn was not really cold.

Moreover, Qin Ran believed that even the coldness of normal winter would soon be nothing to him.

Because, he will not waste time, wasting years.

Qin Ran, who was sitting on the ground, took out one.

This time he didn't control the five active sources of power in his body. When his fingers touched it, the power of original sin in the five sources of power absorbed the power like a whale sucking water.

Or more accurately, 'gluttony'.

Like Qin Ran, the 'gluttony' at this moment is also extremely weak, and he can't even appear in the material world, leaving only a trace of instinct: to eat.

But this is enough for Kieran.

Seeing the rapid dimming and decay in his palm, turning into a rusty copper coin, the corner of Kieran's mouth curled up.

It was better than he imagined.

With the assistance of 'Gluttony', the five sources of power grew again.

At the same time, he also confirmed that his previous perception was correct.

These contain the energy when the 'soul goes away'!

Qin Ran didn't know how these 'coins' were made, but he knew very well how important these 'coins' were to him now.

Without any hesitation, Qin Ran grabbed the remaining nineteen pieces.

Immediately, the five sources of power in the body increased like a blow.

Qin Ran is very clear that this is just a process for him to get rid of his weakness, and being strong is a kind of "illusion", but when he finds that "he is getting stronger", Qin Ran still has joy and excitement in his heart.

Especially when the system prompt appears again.

Another layer of spiritual attribute seal was broken!

Feeling the clearer mind, Kieran's mouth twitched.

As for the rest of the properties

Judging from the prompts that appeared when entering the dungeon, the spirit attributes that have reached level 5 are special, and it is not surprising that they break through the seal first.

When the spiritual attribute breaks through the seal to a certain extent, it should be other attributes.

Sitting where he was, Kieran didn't get up.

He sensed the 'weak' body at this moment with his increasingly powerful spirit. The muscles on his body trembled slightly, but there was no sound.

This strange trembling lasted for nearly ten minutes before it stopped.

And at the moment of stopping, Kieran guaranteed his control over his body.

Kieran doesn't mind having great power, but if this kind of powerful power can't be controlled, Kieran would rather not have it.

He is such a character.

Be careful.

Although there is no shortage of bold attempts, they are also well prepared.

No brains, quite a while.

Brain, cool life.

Standing up lightly, carefully sat down on the chair beside the bed, hugging the handle in his arms, Kieran narrowed his eyes and fell asleep.

Although Kieran can do it without sleep and rest, he knows that night is the highlight, so he won't waste extra energy during the day.

A good rest is king.

The sun rose higher and higher.

When the sun had begun to move slightly westward, Mimosa woke up from her sleep.

No nightmares.

Not to be frightened.

It's the kind of deep sleep that doesn't wake up until the body signals that it's had enough sleep.

Even with Afu, Mimosa can't do this.

Sensing the familiar aura beside him, Mimosa looked at Qin Ran who was dozing aside, and the moment Mimosa looked at him, Kieran opened his eyes.

"woke up?"

Qin Ran asked with a smile.

"Um."

"I'll wash up first, and then I'll make lunch."

Mimosa got used to it and got out of the quilt naturally, walking towards the bathroom while talking.

The washroom does not need to leave the room.

The reason why Qin Ran chose this room as his bedroom, apart from being spacious enough, was because this room had a washroom, so he didn't need to bother going to the one in the corridor.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

The sound of water came from the ear.

Qin Ran started to think about the items he needed to buy today.

The previous funds have been in short supply because of the purchase of enough "self-defense items". However, with the emergence of the Internet, such a shortage of funds will not appear in a short time.

And more funds are enough for Kieran to do more things.

Money is not everything at any time.

But no money

That is absolutely impossible.

Unless, you have reached the point of disregarding the rules.

But Qin Ran, who had self-knowledge, knew that even if he regained his full strength, he was still a long way from that step.

Let alone now.

Follow the rules honestly and develop yourself silently is the right way.

The mimosa in the bathroom is also thinking about the items that need to be purchased today.

But unlike Qin Ran, Mimosa is thinking about the ingredients that need to be purchased.

The fog clouded the mirror in the bathroom.

The shadow reflected in it also became blurred.

The face became softer and softer.

But it seems to be an illusion.

When Mimosa raised her hand to wipe off the moisture, that delicate face appeared in the mirror again.

Mimosa standing in front of the mirror took care of her appearance meticulously.

Ten minutes later, after confirming that it was correct, Mimosa opened the door and walked out of the bathroom.

However, he did not go downstairs.

Instead, he watched Qin Ran walk into the bathroom.

The bathroom door didn't close.

Therefore, Mimosa could clearly see how Kieran brushed his teeth and washed his face in two minutes.

Mimosa was very uncomfortable at first.

However, I am slowly getting used to it now.

At the same time, in order to cooperate with Qin Ran, Mimosa also unconsciously accelerated the washing speed, although compared with Qin Ran, it was still very slow.

However, Qin Ran never said anything.

Everyone has their own living habits.

He doesn't like being forced by others.

Naturally, I don't like to force others.

Mutual respect is the prerequisite for friendly relations.

Even if the mimosa has some quirks, what is it compared to the guts of the mimosa

The big witch is not worth mentioning.

Any weirdness is being covered up under 'timidity'.

"Have beef brisket with potatoes and salt and pepper shrimp for lunch."

Before entering the kitchen, Mimosa said this.

"Um."

Kieran nodded without any objection.

Professional things, let professional people do it.

It will never be successful for laymen to guide experts.

However, Qin Ran was not idle, he started to clean the entire restaurant on the first floor, opened the doors and windows for ventilation.

This does not count as preparations for opening night.

The simple fact is that Kieran couldn't stand the lingering stench of the hangover.

Especially thinking of having lunch in such a stench, Kieran felt quite uncomfortable.

Fortunately, when the mimosa was brought out for lunch, the stench had disappeared without a trace thanks to Kieran's efforts.

The restaurant is filled with the smell of beef.

The moment the thick and delicious beef came in with the salty soup, Qin Ran narrowed his eyes, and when the rice was also put into his mouth, Qin Ran couldn't help chewing.

After dinner, feel comfortable.

After eating a plate of beef brisket with potatoes and two bowls of rice, Qin Ran looked at the salt and pepper shrimp.

In order to make it easier for Qin Ran to eat, Mimosa has removed the shrimp head and tail, so it can be eaten directly.

The preserved shrimp shell has a bright red color, which is in stark contrast to the golden color outside the shrimp shell, and it is even more icing on the cake after a few green chives are dotted on top.

crunch!

Qin Ran picked up a prawn and put it into his mouth. With a crisp sound, the prawn meat was completely released, and even felt like it was springing.

Without hesitation, Qin Ran picked up the second and third ones.

When Qin Ran felt full, the whole plate of shrimp had already been wiped out.

"delicious."

Qin Ran commented.

Mimosa immediately narrowed her eyes with a smile.

Is there anything happier for a chef than a diner eating all the food

That is to become Kieran's chef!

Mimosa sat on the stool that Qin Ran used to sit on, watched Qin Ran enter the kitchen with the bowls and chopsticks to wash up, and put the favorite bowls and chopsticks into the disinfection cabinet before standing up and taking off the apron.

The next time is the time that Mimosa is most looking forward to.

Buying all kinds of ingredients was supposed to make Mimosa happy, let alone going with Qin Ran.

For the first time, Mimosa is grateful for this weird and different copy world.

And, I hope to be able to stay here for a longer time.

Of course, if Qin Ran finds a way to leave early and insists on leaving, Mimosa won't mind.

Just listen to Qin Ran's orders.

This is an early agreement.

As night fell, the street lights came on.

The small blackboard of 'Leaf Restaurant' was placed outside the door on time at eleven o'clock in the evening.

Leaf Restaurant.

Today's food: salt and pepper shrimp (can be ordered or set), fried rice, chicken soup.

(No alcohol served, drunk guests not welcome)

Under the newly installed street lamps, the handwriting is still beautiful.

Again, no one saw it.

But Mimosa is still busy in the kitchen.

After all, the guests were just passing by. Qin Ran's dinner and the next day's breakfast and lunch were the focus, and some ingredients had to be processed in advance.

Qin Ran was sitting in a chair, reading today's newspaper while watching the TV on the side of the bar.

This is the small TV I bought this afternoon.

Color, only less than 14 inches, built-in antenna.

To Qin Ran, the picture was slightly blurry, but it was enough for Qin Ran who wanted to understand the world faster.

it's the evening news

"At 11 o'clock this morning, the 'Lemon Gold Shop' was suddenly robbed an hour after it opened."

"The security guard of Jinpu was shot and has been sent to the hospital. He is not out of danger for the time being..."

Introduced by the hostess' voice-over, what appeared on the TV was a surveillance image from the gold shop. Three men wearing hoods pointed automatic guns at a group of squatting people, while one came from the counter of the gold shop. , Take out the gold jewelry in plates and pour them into your carry-on backpack.

Then, the three retreated calmly.

The whole process is quick.

According to the shooting time intercepted on the monitor, this process only takes 45 seconds.

If you count the time it takes for them to break into the gold shop and shoot, it will not exceed 1 minute.

Undoubtedly, the three practiced more than once.

Moreover, they have a tacit understanding and are familiar with the layout of the gold shop.

However, there are many similar flaws.

If I were the police, I would quickly search for surveillance and possible inner ghosts.

And if I were a robber, at this time, I should...

Almost instinctively, Kieran substituted for both sides.

This is Qin Ran's habit.

It can not only exercise thinking, but also allow him to gain experience from it.

Squeak, squeak!

When the sound of electric current sounded, the street lamp that had just been pressed at the door flickered again.

A figure walked in with a blank face.

A middle-aged man, with a hint of gray hair, trousers, a jacket, and brown leather shoes, the corners of which have been frayed.

At this time, the other party turned his head and looked around.

It was as if he was curious about why he appeared here.

Naturally, the middle-aged man looked at Qin Ran who was sitting at the bar.

"Hello, where is this?"

The middle-aged man opened his mouth and asked.

"Leaf Restaurant."

"I'm the boss Luo Yan."

Qin Ran responded indifferently, without putting down the newspaper in his hand. This kind of blunt attitude obviously made the middle-aged man feel cramped.

The other party is obviously not a sociable person.

Just asking that sentence can be regarded as mustering up the courage.

After facing Qin Ran's indifference, he immediately stood there with a smirk on his face, turned around and walked out.

Qin Ran watched the other party go away, did not speak, continued to read the newspaper and 'listen' to the evening news.

About half an hour later, when the evening news came to an end, the middle-aged man ran back with a panicked expression.

The other party rushed into the restaurant, panting heavily with a pale face.

After a long time, he looked at Qin Ran in horror and said tremblingly, "Outside, outside... haunted!"

"Then what?"

Qin Ran turned over a page of the newspaper, his eyes still fixed on the contents of the newspaper.

"Then?"

The middle-aged man was taken aback.

Then, shouldn't you be curious or panic

"You think I'm crazy?"

"Still think I'm lying to you?"

"I swear, I didn't!"

"I really met a ghost just now!"

"At this intersection, someone... just passed through my body. I screamed in fright, but he didn't hear it at all, and he still walked forward like this."

The middle-aged man who thought it was Qin Ran who didn't believe him explained again.

"Then what?"

Qin Ran continued to ask.

"You, do you still don't believe me?"

"If you don't believe me, I can take you to see it!"

The middle-aged man was about to walk out again, but Qin Ran still sat there motionless.

Seeing Qin Ran who had no intention of getting up, the middle-aged man laughed at himself.

yes.

How do you prove to a stranger that you saw a ghost

Also take the other party to see.

The other party believes you right away, that's the real hell.

The middle-aged man sat there slumped.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the restaurant, and three figures walked in from outside. When they saw the middle-aged man sitting there, all three of them were taken aback.
