The Devil’s Cage

Chapter 51: plan

Views:

Qin Ran believed that what he could guess, Sheriff John could also guess.

Even, it is easier than him.

After all, he is just a 'new arrival in your land', and his identity is only a detective, while the other party is a real aborigine, and he has a corresponding identity and status.

Aboriginal, 'lawless' and other veteran players give NC a new title.

From that truth.

Qin Ran has no objection to such a title. Although he is not used to it now, Qin Ran believes that such truth will eventually make him get used to it.

"How do I do it?"

Sheriff John asked back.

But Qin Ran no longer needed an answer.

The fury hidden beneath Sheriff John's gruff exterior speaks for itself.

Although the sheriff had remained silent before, that definitely did not mean backing down.

The justice that the other party upholds in his heart absolutely does not allow such a thing to happen.

"Damn moth!"

"I want him to understand what the law exists for!"

The sheriff gritted his teeth and squeezed out such words.

Such words may seem ridiculous to some people, but when Kieran looked at the sheriff in front of him, he didn't find it ridiculous at all.

Because the other party is very serious.

Not only in looks, but in spirit as well.

"Do you need help?"

Qin Ran asked.

Such questions come naturally.

Most of it was because Qin Ran found out that this was another side mission, but it also included some other things, which were deliberately ignored by Qin Ran.

Hearing Qin Ran's question, Sheriff John raised his head and looked at Qin Ran in surprise.

This surprise lasted for two seconds before being replaced by a smile.

A sincere smile appeared on that rough face... It still looked ferocious.

"Thanks!"

"But now is not the time!"

"I'm going to unite with other people! With just you and me, there is absolutely no chance of winning!"

With that said, Sheriff John walked out.

However, when he reached the door again, the sheriff stopped in his tracks. He turned his head, looked at Qin Ran and said.

"Don't worry, I won't forget about Altily Hunter!"

"After all, you are now one of the people I want to unite with!"

After speaking, the sheriff left without looking back.

Qin Ran rolled his eyes.

He was not used to this kind of teasing from friends.

In other words, he is not used to having friends.

As a person who runs around for his own life, friends are also a luxury.

Because maintaining friendship also takes time and money.

Coincidentally, Qin Ran had neither.

"This side mission is probably beyond the normal level of the player's 'first' dungeon mission!"

Qin Ran thought silently.

This is not groundless, but judged based on the strength shown by Schuberk and his gang before.

A normal player who experienced the dungeon mission for the first time has no chance to reverse the previous situation, even if he detonated the entire building like him.

In the end, the most likely result is also to be smashed to pieces.

"Another extra side mission!"

Sitting in the sheriff's chair, the corners of Kieran's mouth turned up slightly.

Qin Ran wasn't worried about the difficulty of the mission, only that it wasn't enough.

As for the task being too difficult, or even the game failure

Of course Qin Ran thought about it.

However, doing anything requires taking risks. Given that his life is not long, does he have any other options

The answer is obvious.

Qin Ran had no choice.

So, might as well give it a go.

Although Qin Ran didn't like such a risky approach.

"It's really a last resort!"

Qin Ran murmured, and then stretched his waist, but the pain that followed made him grit his teeth involuntarily.

And this made it easier for Qin Ran to choose the latter between the chair and the bed.

He didn't want to feel more pain all over his body after one night.

The sun dispels the darkness of night.

On the streets of the urban area, people come and go, and there is an endless stream.

When those newsboys interspersed, it immediately became even more lively.

"Extra! Extra!"

"The great detective Qin Ran cracked the case of the unknown female corpse!"

"Extra! Extra!"

"The great detective Qin Ran smashed the gang's forbidden area in one fell swoop!"

The newsboy's crisp shout spread far away, involuntarily attracting the attention of passers-by.

Especially, as long as he didn't really fall asleep to the explosion last night, anyone would find out about it.

It's just that the explosion at night was too dangerous for ordinary citizens, and they didn't dare to go out immediately to check what happened.

But this made them even more curious.

Therefore, even people who don't read newspapers on weekdays are willing to spend a dime to buy a newspaper at this time.

And such people are definitely not in the minority.

A circle of people surrounded each newsboy, and the newspapers that usually took half a day to sell out, at this time, only took half an hour to sell out.

This brought smiles to the newsboys' faces.

Similarly, people who satisfied their curiosity also showed smiles.

And the businessmen who printed the newspaper and gained more benefits also had smiles on their faces.

Almost everyone looked at the headline on the front page of the newspaper, occupying almost half of the page, the photo of Kieran wearing a deerstalker hat and smoking a pipe was smiling.

The reason why I say almost is because Qin Ran didn't laugh.

When he got up from his soft bed, it was already high in the sun.

Sufficient sleep made the pain all over his body disappear without a trace, and his health was restored to full value.

After changing his clothes and bringing the necessary items, Kieran walked towards the restaurant not far from his residence.

Although his residence was on the second floor, there was no landlord named Mrs. Hudson on the first floor who provided him with breakfast.

However, as soon as Qin Ran entered the restaurant, he noticed something strange.

Everyone's eyes seemed to be on him.

With curiosity, explore!

With contempt, with envy!

From the time Qin Ran sat down, ordered, and the time when the food was served, he felt as if he was being pointed at by hundreds of sharp swords from afar.

And, it's getting worse.

Because, more people joined the ranks.

At the same time, Qin Ran got a general idea from the discussions.

When he saw two ladies with burning eyes approaching him, Qin Ran decisively packed his breakfast, and then left the restaurant quickly.

Of course, it was not difficult for Kieran to get rid of such a lady with burning eyes.

The premise is: not too many people!

When more than a dozen or even twenty such ladies stared straight at Qin Ran, even with a proficient level of [Stealth], Kieran still couldn't escape.

In the end, Kieran had no choice but to go to St. Paul's School—even though his original goal today was also here.

Relying on the strength of the police and the school guards, Kieran got rid of those crazy ladies.

"Attract bees and butterflies!"

The captain of the guarding team despised Qin Ran's behavior.

However, they did not stop Qin Ran from entering the campus.

Apparently, he had been ordered accordingly.

Of course, this did not completely change the other party's impression of Kieran.

Qin Ran didn't mind this.

Compared to the purity brought to him by the other party, these are nothing at all.

"Sister Moni is praying, and then she will deal with official business, and I will see you only at noon!"

The head nurse said so.

"I can go to Lord Gong Lansen first!"

Qin Ran replied.

The captain of the school guard didn't speak to Qin Ran anymore, he just brought Qin Ran to Gong Lansen's residence, then turned and left.

"I'll keep an eye on you!"

Before leaving, the other party warned Qin Ran like this.

Qin Ran smiled back.

After the captain of the nursing school left, Gong Lansen walked out of the wooden house, still dressed in simple linen clothes, with bare feet and bare arms.

"morning!"

Qin Ran said hello.

"Any clues?"

The other party asked bluntly.

"No!"

"Originally, I planned to act, but something happened, and I had to come here for the time being... to hide!"

Qin Ran shook his head with a wry smile, a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face.

Then, without waiting for the other party to ask, Qin Ran said everything directly.

"Hahaha!"

And this brought Gong Lansen a big laugh.

"There is no need to escape from this situation, you have to face it boldly—this is also a kind of reward!"

The other party said so.

"As a knight, is it appropriate for you to say such a thing?"

Qin Ran asked back.

"How do you know that the purpose of my becoming a knight was not to be more popular?"

The other party asked back, and immediately made Qin Ran speechless.

"I think we should talk about my original actions!"

Qin Ran consciously stopped entangled in this issue, and got to the point.

"All ears!"

Gong Lansen also became serious.

"I was followed after I left here yesterday!"

"I can't determine the identity of the other party! But at least half of the confidence is those guys!"

"They are paying close attention to every move of St. Paul's School!"

"Don't let anyone in or out!"

Qin Ran briefly described what happened yesterday.

"You should have caught that guy! With your skills, it's not difficult!"

Gong Lansen said regretfully.

"Yes! The premise is that no one disturbs the situation!"

With a wry smile, Qin Ran recounted yesterday's street assassination.

This made the last guardian knight of the Dawn Church couldn't help admiring.

"A person who is favored by fate—if it was in our era, you would definitely be evaluated like this!"

The other party said so.

"Then, get a title like 'Unlucky Ghost'?"

Qin Ran pouted.

"Hahaha!"

"That's right, that's right!"

"As expected of a great detective, you are really smart!"

Gong Lansen laughed again, and slapped his knees again and again, looking extremely happy.

"I think such ridicule will damage your status as a knight!"

Qin Ran reminded the other party.

"The premise is that this identity is still recognized by people!"

"I'm the night watchman at St. Paul's School now!"

Gong Lansen didn't mean to restrain his smile at all, instead he laughed louder.

This allowed Qin Ran to fully understand what kind of bad character the other party had.

I don't mind building my own happiness on the 'pain' of others.

Qin Ran swears that the person who made the other party a guardian knight must have been blind.

"I think we should bring the topic back to the original action!"

Qin Ran reminded the other party.

The other party seemed to have a bit of integrity, and he was not ambiguous when facing serious matters. He suppressed his smile and said seriously: "Continue!"

"My original plan was to lure the snake out of its hole!"

Qin Ran continued.

"But now your plan has been disrupted, it's very difficult to carry it out!"

Gong Lansen frowned.

"No! Quite the opposite!"

"My plan has become easier to succeed!"

"Because they will also read today's newspaper!"

Qin Ran couldn't help laughing.
