The Devil’s Cage

Chapter 52: Take the bait

Views:

Late at night, St. Paul's School.

Sister Moni personally sent Qin Ran outside the chapel, and boarded her exclusive carriage, and the driver was the captain of the nursing school.

The captain of the nursing school had a reluctance on his face, but he couldn't disobey Sister Moni's order.

In order to complete this task quickly, almost after Qin Ran boarded the carriage, the captain of the nursing school shook the whip in his hand.

Snapped!

With a crisp sound, the carriage quickly disappeared into the night.

Seeing the disappearing carriage, Sister Moni turned and returned to the chapel.

Her guardian knight, Gonranson, stood in the shadow of the candle, keeping watch.

After more than ten seconds, Gong Lansen came out of the shadows.

"As Qin Ran said, they are constantly monitoring the entire St. Paul's School!"

"It should be with the help of something like a telescope—it's rare to see people with night vision!"

"Those guys are really daring!"

The guardian knight couldn't help but snorted at the end.

"Has Kieran attracted their attention?"

Sister Moni sighed softly, with worry in her words.

"Don't worry, since Qin Ran has chosen such a plan, he is sure of it!"

"And, until now, everything is going according to Qin Ran's plan!"

"We just need to wait quietly for news from Qin Ran!"

The guardian knight comforted the former saint in front of him.

"I hope so!"

As Mo Ni said, she walked slowly towards the statue of the goddess, and prayed again.

Gong Lansen's lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

He stepped into the shadows again.

Once a Guardian Knight, now a Night Watchman.

The glory has long been dimmed, and the brilliance has also faded.

The oath of protection that was once forgotten has become extremely clear at this moment.

Because, he began to face up to his own heart.

For Gong Lansen, one accident is enough.

He didn't allow anyone to approach Moni casually.

In the urban area late at night, the streets are empty.

The carriage can travel at a high speed.

So, just ten minutes later, Kieran returned to his residence.

And the captain of the school guard didn't even want to say goodnight to Qin Ran, so he drove the carriage away again.

Qin Ran looked at the other party who was leaving, and shrugged helplessly.

He knew that it would be a good wish for the stubborn opponent to get along with him friendly.

At least, for a short time.

Pulling the collar of his overcoat to shield him from the slightly cold night wind, Kieran walked straight to the second-floor residence.

There is no need to go through the first floor, the stairs are outside, just go upstairs.

The door is single, wooden.

Hanging above the door frame is a small, two-palm-sized signboard with the words 'Kinran Consulting' written crookedly and without any grade at all.

Even though it had his own name on it, the corners of Kieran's mouth twitched when he saw it for the first time.

If possible, he would rather not have such a signboard.

Taking out the key, he opened the door, and Qin Ran walked in.

The room consists of two rooms inside and outside and a separate toilet.

The outer room serves as the living room, office, dining room, etc., and it is fairly neat.

Inside is a simple bedroom.

Kieran was still satisfied with this arrangement.

Qin Ran has neither cleanliness nor obsessive-compulsive disorder.

It's just that no one likes being in a bad, dirty and messy room.

There is nothing of note in the room.

When he returned last night, Qin Ran checked it carefully.

Therefore, after entering the room, Qin Ran went straight into the bedroom, half-closed his clothes and leaned on the bed, waiting quietly.

Waiting for those guys who are obsessed with the thousand-year wealth of the Church of Dawn.

Qin Ran believed that the other party would definitely come to him.

Because, his identity is the best detective in this city.

Moreover, he showed up at St. Paul's School for two consecutive days. If what happened yesterday could be said to be due to the disappearance of Altili Hunter, what about today

Not only did they stay for a full day, but they were also well received by the headmaster, Sister Moni.

These things are enough to make those guys associate.

After all, one doesn't go to the detective for nothing.

There must be something that needs the detective's help.

And what in the whole St. Paul's school needs a detective

Dawn Church has accumulated thousands of years of wealth!

Other than that, nothing else is possible!

As long as the other party thinks this way, then the other party will definitely come to him!

Qin Ran has such confidence.

Not tonight, but tomorrow!

Giving himself time to wait for the other party, Kieran set a standard.

Once this standard is exceeded, he needs to start a backup plan.

Fortunately, Kieran didn't seem to need to do anything extra.

About 20 minutes passed, and with E+ level perception, Qin Ran could clearly hear the sound of his door lock turning.

It was not the sound of the key turning the lock.

It is emitted by other metal vessels.

Not harsh, but enough to arouse Kieran's vigilance.

Taking out the [M1905] and the dagger, Qin Ran quietly walked out of the bedroom and stood behind the door against the wall.

Click!

With a crisp sound, Qin Ran's door was opened.

Following the opening of the door, a figure cautiously walked in.

The other party glanced in front of his eyes, then looked in the direction of the bedroom, and then walked towards the bedroom with his legs raised high and his feet lightly lowered.

From the beginning to the end, the other party did not notice Qin Ran who had entered the [stealth] state behind the door.

Qin Ran watched the other party's movements, and after confirming that the other party was only one person, he couldn't help but frown slightly.

According to Sister Moni's description, there were at least two other people.

Now there is only one word...

The deep thinking in his heart did not make Qin Ran hesitate. He had already expected such a result before.

He walked behind the opponent without making a sound, and put the [M1905] in his hand directly on the back of the opponent's head.

Immediately, the opponent's progress froze.

"I have no ill intentions!"

A slightly shrill voice sounded.

"I can explain!"

"I'm listening! My patience is limited, though!"

The other party seemed to want Qin Ran to put down the gun, but Qin Ran completely ignored it.

On the contrary, Kieran thrust the muzzle of the gun forward forcefully.

"I say! I say!"

"We are here for cooperation!"

"The secret of Dawn Church!"

Facing the extremely threatening muzzle, the other party said hastily.

When hearing the other party's words, Kieran's mouth curled up.

In order to survive, the other party was obviously playing tricks.

Use vague words to arouse his curiosity—the other party is sure that the Church of Dawn will not tell him anything, so he must use a "substitute word" such as a certain part of the history of the Church of Dawn, books, or simply a certain Pope's handwriting. Perfunctory him.

If Sister Moni and Gon Lansen really knew any information about the so-called accumulated wealth of a thousand years, everything would be as the other party expected.

But it's a pity that the other party didn't know that Sister Moni and Gong Lansen really didn't know any information about the thousand-year wealth of the Church of Dawn.

Even, if it weren't for the appearance of the other party, Sister Moni and Gong Lansen would always regard this as a legend.

However, this fell into the eyes of the other party, and it became that Sister Moni and Gong Lansen knew the approximate whereabouts of the Thousand-Year Church of Dawn's wealth, but they couldn't determine where it was, so they could only search silently! Until the competitor appeared, Sister Moni and Gong Lansen had to find him as an 'foreign aid' to help find him.

But the opponents thought they could win over him as a 'foreign aid'.

Use the wealth accumulated by the Dawn Church for thousands of years as bait!

After that, it is natural to kill people and silence them.

Qin Ran is well aware of this.

Therefore, Qin Ran gave the other party the most direct answer.

boom!

Click!

Qin Ran kicked the opponent's knee socket, and suddenly, the sound of bones breaking was heard.

The other party opened his mouth and was about to cry out in pain.

But before the other party could really yell out, Qin Ran covered his mouth and punched the other party hard in the stomach.

boom!

[Kick: Cause 30 points of life damage to the opponent, dislocate the opponent's joints...]

[Boxing: Inflict 20 points of life damage to the opponent, and the opponent falls into a coma...]

Looking at the unconscious opponent, Kieran tore off the mask covering his face.

Taking advantage of the dim light outside the window, Kieran looked at the other party.

Triangular eyes, flat nose, thin body, half black and half white hair.

Very inconspicuous, even a little ugly.

Qin Ran searched the opponent's body.

Daggers, flintlock muskets, binoculars, and a set of lockpicking tools are all the other party has.

Daggers, flintlock muskets, and scopes are nothing special.

The suit was contained in a palm-sized leather pouch, which looked like a purse-picking tool, but Kieran was a little surprised.

[Name: Unlocking Tool]

"Attribute item!"

This is the first attribute item Kieran got when entering the official dungeon.

"Sure enough, only extra tasks beyond the normal scope can obtain good things more easily!"

Qin Ran sighed.

Then, Qin Ran's eyes turned to the uninvited intruder.

Kieran would never forget the scene where the other party easily opened his door.

unlock!

Qin Ran was more than 50% sure that as long as he killed the opponent, he would drop this skill book.
