The tip of the sword penetrated a point, pierced the skin, and didn't really let it penetrate the throat, but Bane's whole body tightened.
throat!
It is one of the vital points of human beings at any time, juxtaposed with the heart and brain, and even, compared with the heart and brain protected by the chest cavity and skull, the exposed throat is more fragile.
Even after the complete training of the 'grazer', and countless battles, it still can't change this point.
Especially looking at Qin Ran in front of him, Bain really felt the killing intent.
Although there is nothing, but it really exists.
Therefore, without hesitation, Bane said loudly.
"terribly sorry!"
"I apologize for my recklessness!"
"And, I am willing to compensate Your Excellency!"
While speaking, Bain looked at Kieran nervously.
When he saw Qin Ran retracting the tip of his sword slightly, he was slightly relieved.
"Thirty [Copper Crossing Coins]."
Qin Ran reported a number.
Baine, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, immediately tightened his heart.
"It's too much, I... no problem!"
"Thirty [Copper Crossing Coins] I still have!"
Bain wanted to explain something, but the point of the sword that had just been retracted was sent up again, without any hesitation, Bain immediately agreed.
Compared with [Tongdu Qian], life is undoubtedly more important.
After all, once life is gone, there is really nothing left.
However, just when Bain agreed, Kieran raised the long sword in his hand.
Looking at the sword light in front of him and feeling the cold light of the metal weapon, Baine closed his eyes.
He thought that Qin Ran had backtracked.
However, the next moment, Bain felt his upper body go cold.
His tracksuit and vest were cut by a sharp sword.
The cut clothes fell to the ground, Kieran used the tip of his sword to pick up the clothes and inspect them.
"Witch Gu?"
Baine, who opened his eyes again, immediately saw this scene. He was not an idiot, so he quickly reacted.
"You messed with those bastards?"
Bane asked.
"Um."
Qin Ran nodded.
This doesn't need to be concealed, although most people don't know what happened, but it is not difficult for the 'herders' to investigate this matter.
"it is as expected."
After hearing Qin Ran's words, Bain nodded thoughtfully.
This kind of soliloquy naturally attracted Qin Ran's attention.
"Ed Wang's disappearance should also be related to these bastards."
"Although I don't have any definite evidence, the report of Ed Wang's last mission was to investigate a 'psychic game' about a high school girl."
"Then, he disappeared."
"Unless it is an extremely special situation, as the person in charge of the 7th district in the east of Ai City, he will send a message of safety every eight hours."
"And now it's over five safe periods."
"At the same time, I found traces of witchcraft in that high school."
Bane explained.
"anything else?"
Qin Ran continued to ask.
"No more."
"Witch Gu's gang is more cunning than you imagine."
"Even the 'grazers' have trouble finding their whereabouts."
Baine spread his hands as he spoke.
"If you find it, let me know."
Qin Ran said lightly.
Although only one voodoo person showed interest in the mimosa, Kieran couldn't guarantee the attitude of the remaining voodoo people.
What's more, Qin Ran was never so naive as to pin the safety of himself and Mimosa on the kindness of the enemy.
Facing the enemy, he prefers to strike first, and then... cut the weeds and root them out!
Bain, who had no idea what Qin Ran was thinking, looked at Qin Ran unexpectedly.
"Although it follows the law of the jungle, people are not bad."
"At least for acquaintances, it's not bad."
"It's not in vain for that idiot Ed Wang to go to work for you."
With such thoughts in his heart, Bain nodded and prepared to leave.
"etc."
Qin Ran suddenly stopped the other party.
"rest assured."
"I often go to morning exercises with my upper body bare, and I don't need clothes."
Bane smiled and waved his hand.
"I don't care about your exercise methods, even if you are called a pervert, it has nothing to do with me."
"What I want to remind you is, your ransom."
"Thirty [Copper Crossing Coins]."
Qin Ran emphasized.
"Am I a bad guy?"
"I'm a good friend of your uncle Ed Wang."
Bane raised his voice.
However, when he saw Qin Ran's hand holding the sword hilt again, he immediately said softly, "I didn't bring that much money when I went out. When I get home, I'll get it for you right away."
Qin Ran didn't speak, but raised the sword he was holding, and pointed at Bain again.
Regardless of identity or position.
Qin Ran simply didn't trust a stranger who had only met once.
No matter what the other party said or did, before there were more things to prove, what Kieran believed in was the benefits he got.
Therefore, without the extremely convenient means of 'contract' as a premise, what Kieran believed in was to settle for nothing.
Bain and Kieran looked at each other.
one second.
two seconds.
three seconds.
…
As time passed, Kieran's eyes didn't blink, but Bain felt his eyes dry.
Moreover, Bain always felt that the young man in front of him seemed to have seen through his truest thoughts.
Thirty [Copper Crossing Coins], which he has saved for several years.
Bain wouldn't mind if he could let it go.
As for the consequences
What are the consequences
At worst, just avoid Qin Ran.
It's not that he hasn't done such a thing.
Don't worry if you have too many debts, don't bite if you have too many lice.
One more Qin Ran is not more, one less Qin Ran is not much.
However, what Bain didn't expect was that Qin Ran was so stubborn.
"Stubborn!"
"So stubborn!"
"Aren't you going to be flexible?"
With the last extravagant hope, Bain still wanted to struggle, but Kieran didn't talk nonsense at all, and let go of the sword in his hand again.
This time, it was much deeper than before.
Bane didn't hesitate, if he advanced one more point, his trachea would be pierced.
"etc!"
"for you!"
By this time, Bane didn't dare to fool around anymore.
He sensed a clearer killing intent than before.
If it was said that deterrence was more than practical before, then at this time Bain can be sure that the young man in front of him is really murderous.
"Don't you just owe you some money?"
"Why are you so irritable?"
"Are you a miser?"
While talking, Bain took out a wallet from the pocket of his sports pants.
Carefully, he took out a silver coin without a square hole, similar to the copper crossing coin, but the pattern of the sun and moon on the front and back of this silver coin was more complicated.
[Name: Silver Crossing Money]
[Type: Miscellaneous]
[Quality: Rare]
[Attack Power: None]
[Defense: none]
[Attribute: It can more perfectly cover up the aura of a large number of souls going to the 'distance']
[Special effects: none]
[Requirement: None]
[Whether this copy can be brought out: No]
[Remarks: Duqian appeared much earlier than the 'herders' organization. No one knew what its original purpose was, but after the discovery of the aura that concealed the soul's journey to the 'distance', it became a' Generic Currency for Grazers' and Mystery Sides.]
…
When Qin Ran's fingertips touched this [Silver Crossing Coin], the five sources of energy in his body burst into joy, especially the 'gluttony' which was full of desire.
However, now is not the time.
Qin Ran looked at Bain with a pained face, and made a gesture towards Mimosa.
Immediately, Mimosa took out the previous trophies [Cursed Paper Man] and [House of Wraiths (Broken)] from under the bar and put them on the bar.
Immediately, Baine was attracted.
But right away, Baine said calmly.
"The [Cursed Paper Figure] has been used and is worthless."
"The [House of Wraith] is also damaged, and it's also worthless."
"oh."
Qin Ran nodded, turned around and walked back to the bar, putting away the two things again.
What's the meaning
Bane was taken aback.
"Sir, we are closed."
"If you need anything, please come back tomorrow."
Mimosa said with a smile.
After finishing speaking, he made a gesture of invitation, and walked to the door of the restaurant, and opened the door for the other party.
"I will offer ten copper coins."
"Twenty pieces!"
"Twenty pieces! No more!"
Seeing Mimosa earnestly asking herself to leave, Bain immediately made an offer.
[Cursed Paper Man] is fine, it’s really not worth much, it’s only about the value of a copper coin, but [House of Wraiths] is different.
There are not many schools of witchcraft that can make [House of Wraiths], and in these schools, most of the witches will destroy their [House of Wraiths] when they die.
Therefore, there are even fewer [House of Wraiths] circulating outside.
Bain clearly remembered that many people in the 'Grasher' Research Institute were interested in [House of Wraiths].
Even a damaged [Wraith House] is enough to sell for a high price.
Not to mention twenty copper coins, three silver coins are also very possible.
In this way, not only the loss is recovered, but he can also make a lot of money.
only…
Seeing Qin Ran who was indifferent to his offer, Bain's heart, which was still excited just now, began to sink uncontrollably.
He felt that he had met his match.
At the same time, Bane is also a little strange.
You learned fighting skills in the deep mountains and became alert, but where did you learn this kind of cunning like a profiteer
"I caught a fox before."
"She said she would repay me and give me a month's worth of food."
"Then, I happily let her go."
"After that, I never saw that fox again."
Qin Ran stood at the bar and said with a memory on his face.
fox
Learned from the cunning fox
Bain secretly thought in his heart, but Bain immediately thought of something, and immediately blurted out: "A fox can talk? Give her back? Who are you fooling!"
"yes."
"Who are you fooling?"
Kieran nodded, and looked at Bain seriously, his gaze seemed to be 'perspective', which made Bain feel uncomfortable.
"A silver coin."
"No more."
Bane didn't intend to delay any longer.
Because, he found that even if he procrastinated further, he would not be able to take advantage of it.
Therefore, Bain decided to make a quick decision and quoted a price.
"The door is there, walk slowly."
Qin Ran said slowly.
He doesn't know the value of [House of Wraiths] in this dungeon world, but Kieran still knows the price of rare items.
Even [Silver Crossing Coin] is a rare item.
It can be used as currency, [Yindu Qian], which has a single function and must have a large stock, can never replace the rarer [House of Wraiths] with more functions.
Even if the [House of Wraiths] is destroyed, it's the same.
"snort!"
Faced with Kieran's attitude, Bain seemed to turn his head and walked out as if he was getting angry from embarrassment.
But whether it was Qin Ran or Mimosa, they didn't care.
Mimosa didn't even, not even the door go light.
He just stood in front of the door and stared outside.
Under the influence of ears and eyes, Mimosa is no stranger to the way of business, and even, it can be said to be quite good at it.
Mimosa could see Bain's urgency for [House of Wraiths].
With such a premise, everything is doomed.
In fact, it was the same. After about a few seconds, Bane who had left walked back with great strides.
"Two silver coins."
Bain quoted a price that made his heart hurt.
"Three."
Qin Ran quoted a price that almost suffocated Bain, but Bain, who knew that the trick was useless, widened his eyes and looked at the "House of Wraiths" that was placed on the bar by Qin Ran again. , The herder gritted his teeth and nodded, no matter how little meat there is on the mosquito's legs, it is still meat!
"good."
Bane threw the wallet in his hand onto the bar.
In addition to the three silver crossing coins, there are several banknotes in the wallet.
Qin Ran took the three silver coins, and handed the wallet and [House of Wraiths] to Bain.
"You are a profiteer!"
"I won't be coming again!"
Bane swore and swore.
And Kieran
He smiled and said, "Welcome to visit next time."
The sun has completely risen at this time. In the morning of late autumn, Bain is facing the cold wind, with his upper body bare, walking on the street holding the [House of Wraiths] that looks like a bowl, naturally attracting the eyes of others.
Some people disdain.
Some ridicule.
But more people are sympathetic.
An elderly woman couldn't help but walked to Bain's side, put a small change note in Bain's bowl, and at the same time took out a piece of bread from her breakfast bag Put it in the hands of Bain who was stunned.
"I'm not… "
"I understand, everyone will encounter setbacks."
"But as long as you are strong, you can bounce back."
"I look forward to the day when you get back on your feet."
With a kind smile on her face, the old woman interrupted Bain's words.
Human beings behave according to the herd.
After seeing the old woman's kind deeds, the people around who were already sympathetic gave generously.
"I'm not a beggar!"
"I'm really not a beggar!"
Seeing more and more small bills in the bowl, Bain hastily explained, but the people around him turned a deaf ear and smiled understandingly.
"Yes, of course you are not a beggar."
"You're just down for a while."
"I trust you will solve this difficulty with your own hands."
It was the same old woman, she took off the scarf on her body, wrapped it around Baine's body, and then disappeared into the rising sun with a kind smile.
The people around also dispersed.
Only Bain stood there blankly, repeating that sentence over and over again.
"I'm not a beggar!"
"I'm really not a beggar!"
…
On the second floor of the restaurant, Kieran clearly saw this scene through the window, not only shook his head, but turned around and walked towards the sofa chair beside the bed.
Seeing the smiling Mimosa in his sleep, Qin Ran, who was half lying on the sofa chair, also showed a smile as he squeezed the Yindu Qian in his hand.
What a beautiful day!
