The Devil’s Cage

Chapter 40: Side missions!

Views:

The speed of the carriage is very fast.

The intense contact between the wheels and the ground made Qin Ran and Hunter in the carriage sway uncontrollably, but neither of them said much.

Hunter is worried about his daughter.

Qin Ran was thinking about the copy in front of him.

'Copy is random! '

Qin Ran once asked how the dungeon of the 'Lawless' underground game was produced, and the other party gave a quite positive answer.

Then another problem arises.

What if the player who enters does not have a skill like [Tracking]

The answer is obvious.

The dungeon was planned from the very beginning.

When Qin Ran came back to his senses, he had already appeared on the carriage and headed for Hunter's manor.

Not a state of 'freedom'.

It's an in-game 'plot' state.

No matter what strength or skill the entering player has, they will automatically enter this state.

Moreover, as long as the player does not do something that does not conform to his identity, he will directly enter the current event: to check the corpse.

Even, Qin Ran guessed that even if he did something that didn't fit his identity, as long as it didn't endanger the lives of NCs around him, he would be 'ignored' by Hunter in front of him.

The only possible difference between the two is the wad of money in Kieran's pocket.

If you perform well, you will get a deposit.

The general performance is empty-handed.

As for wanting to die

That is really going to die!

The large number of guards in the manor is definitely not a decoration.

Qin Ran narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking about what might happen next.

Obviously, the discovered body cannot be the missing Altili, and his main task is to find the other party or the other party's body.

Even if this is only his first dungeon, the rules of the underground game will not be simpler than that of the novice dungeon.

So, the focus should not be on the corpse.

It should be... that Sheriff John.

According to the simple memory of this identity, the sheriff and he are acquaintances, and they can even be called friends.

With such a friend, the difficulty of finding someone is naturally greatly reduced.

Asking the other party for help should be a certain choice for the players.

But what about the corpse as an 'introduction'

"Sub-quest!"

There was a flash of light in Qin Ran's squinted eyes.

The sheriff as a friend can help the player.

Then, in the same way, the player can also choose to help the sheriff.

And this favor, Qin Ran naturally helped.

He hasn't forgotten the goal he set before - in the dungeon, not only must complete the main task, but also complete the branch and title tasks as much as possible!

The carriage galloped all the way.

After entering the urban area, the speed did not drop.

The driver kept yelling, telling pedestrians to give way.

As for the uniformed policeman who was sitting next to the coachman and went to report the news to the manor, the citizens chose to give way in cooperation.

The carriage went very smoothly and stopped at the gate of the police station in half an hour.

Before the coachman opened the door, Hunter pushed the door open and walked down.

Qin Ran followed behind and got out of the carriage, and looked up at the police station in front of him.

Small facade, three storeys in height.

If it weren't for the policemen standing guard at the door and the patrolmen coming in and out, this place would be more like a grocery store than a police station.

The main reason was that it was too noisy inside, with roars and curses ringing out one after another.

The fellow policeman led the way, allowing Qin Ran and Hunter to enter the police station without hindrance.

The anxious Hunter followed closely behind the opponent.

Qin Ran, on the other hand, took a little time to look around.

He saw a lot of 'prisoners' in ordinary clothes, even slightly dirty. They were locked in simple cells. Most of these people were young, with rebellious faces, and the police working outside through the iron fence. Confrontation, a swear word broke out from time to time, which attracted the counterattack of the office police, and then these people immediately laughed—although they would be beaten badly afterwards, they seemed to enjoy it.

And one or two of them stood out.

Because, every verbal abuse starts with the other party's instigation.

Even though the other party was a certain distance away from Kieran, and they did it very covertly, but evaluating the eyesight endowed by the E+ level perception, Kieran saw the whole process very easily.

Gang.Pai.Member

Looking at the scene in front of him, Kieran immediately guessed.

However, Qin Ran has not waited for further confirmation.

The police leading the way had already passed through the hall.

Qin Ran had no choice but to quickly follow.

morgue.

In the basement floor—not the entire basement floor, only about a quarter of it was used as a morgue, and the rest should be used as a place to store evidence or other items.

Down the stairs, the light of the fire illuminates the darkness,

Although there are electric lights, kerosene lamps and candles are still used around. Qin Ran raised his head and glanced at the strange-looking electric light—inside the sealed glass bottle was a filament that looked like bamboo fiber, but the color was black. .

Unlike the electric light he was familiar with.

It should be the first type of lamp.

The original model means crude, improved and expensive.

So it's no surprise to continue to use the original lighting tools.

The police leading the way stopped.

A tall, muscular middle-aged man stood there waiting.

With the help of the candlelight, Kieran could clearly see the opponent's rough appearance, as well as the overly strong body, even the oversized uniform was stretched taut by the opponent's muscles.

A lit cigarette was held in the opponent's hand, and there were already three or four cigarette butts on the ground.

Obviously the other party has been waiting for a long time.

According to Qin Ran's simple memory, the other party was his "acquaintance and friend" Sheriff John.

"Qin Ran!"

When the other party saw Qin Ran approaching, he greeted him directly, and then looked at Hunter.

"I can't be sure if it's Miss Altily Hunter, but... I hope you have a mental preparation—even though I've been working on cases for many years, this is the first time I've seen such a miserable corpse!"

"Don't worry, I'm fully prepared!"

Hunter replied.

The conversation between the two was very indifferent.

Obviously, the previous unhappiness between the two parties was far from being an understatement like Hunter told Qin Ran.

The sheriff opened the door behind him and walked in first.

Qin Ran and Hunter filed in, and the accompanying police officers closed the door and guarded the door.

The smell of blood mixed with the smell of alcohol filled the small room.

On a plank bed, a corpse was covered.

It's not white cloth, but stitched cowhide.

Hunter stretched out his hand and grabbed a corner of the cowhide. His entire palm was trembling, and his face was full of struggle.

He was worried that he would see the scene he least wanted to see.

In the end, the cowhide was lifted.

As Sergeant John said, it was a horrible corpse.

The face was bloody and bloody, the chest and abdomen were cut open, and the internal organs were missing, leaving only an empty shell, just like a slaughtered animal hanging on a meat hook.

After soaking in the blood, the red hair became more vivid and moving.

And this is the only place that has a connection with Altily Hunter.

In the oil painting that Qin Ran had seen, the missing lady also had such dazzling long red hair.

Kieran inspected the corpse without any discomfort.

The Zhan Luan in the novice dungeon had already made him used to all kinds of corpses. The corpses bombed by rockets were definitely more miserable than the corpses in front of him.

Hunter didn't feel any discomfort either.

Instead, the big businessman carefully observed the corpse.

And after two minutes, he let out a long breath.

"She's not Tilly!"

"Although she has the same long red hair as Tilly, she doesn't have earlobes, and the skin on her arms is much rougher than Tilly's!"

Hunter said with certainty.

There was a lot of joy on his face.

Then, Hunter seemed to realize that such a blessing was inappropriate in front of the dead.

"Sorry I didn't mean to!"

"Sheriff John, I am willing to offer a reward of 100 yuan to find the murderer for this poor lady!"

He immediately added.

"OK!"

The sheriff nodded and was not excited by the reward. He led Qin Ran and Hunter out of the room and walked upstairs to the hall.

In front of the corridor of the hall, Hunter was about to leave.

"Your Excellency Qin Ran, I have to leave, I'm worried about my wife!"

"I hope you can help me find Tilly as soon as possible!"

Hunter said.

"certainly!"

Qin Ran promised.

Afterwards, Hunter left quickly.

After watching the other party board the carriage, Qin Ran turned to look at Sheriff John.

"This is not the place to talk, go to my office!"

Before Qin Ran could speak, Sheriff John said directly.

"OK!"

Qin Ran naturally would not refuse.

The sheriff's office, on the second floor, is a small but bright enough room with a desk, a few chairs, and a cabinet full of files.

"What's going on downstairs?"

Qin Ran spoke slowly.

In the carriage, he was thinking about how to successfully take over the side missions, and what he saw and heard when he first entered the police station was undoubtedly the best choice as an entry point.

"A week ago, Jimmy, the underground. old. big black hand in this district, was assassinated!"

"Although the guy's body was not found, the whole district has become a mess!"

"Those who want to find the murderer, those who want to be in power, and the forces in other districts are active!"

"Every day, there are at least a dozen brawls—you see the guys being imprisoned outside, right? In a few days, my place will be overcrowded!

"The most damning thing is that there is another murder case now! I don't have enough manpower to deal with this matter!"

Sheriff John's angry voice rang in Kieran's ears.

"So, at this time, it is time to reflect the importance of having friends—I will help you solve this murder case!"

Qin Ran said very simply.

Following Qin Ran's words, prompts began to appear on his retina.
