"It's different from what I remember!"
"There has been a change!"
After recalling it again, Kieran can fully confirm that the magic circle of the 'Devil Seven Stars' in front of him has changed somewhat from the first time he saw it. +
Very subtle changes!
If Qin Ran hadn't just memorized the original magic circle of the "Devil Seven Stars" by rote not long ago, he would have been unable to discover this subtle change: only three of the forty-one symbols between the outer ring and the inner ring occurred. changed!
However, Kieran would never underestimate such a change.
Because, he is very clear that any symbol that may represent knowledge or words, even if it is just a change, will become completely different from the original meaning.
And in the center of this changed 'Evil Seven Stars', there is a pair of footprints on the position that looks like a scorpion pattern!
Zhang Wei's footprints!
When investigating the death of the deputy warden before, the other party passed by him, and the footprints left were exactly the same as the pair in front of him.
Looking at the pair of footprints, such a picture immediately appeared in Qin Ran's mind——
Zhang Wei, who thought he had discovered some secret, entered this cell.
The other party walked into the original magic circle of the 'Great Devil's Seven Stars' without hesitation, and chanted a spell or used other methods to change the magic circle of the 'Great Devil's Seven Stars' in front of him.
Then, the other party ruined his own life.
Possessed by Kilffin Hech, he became a half-dead person.
"What did Zhang Wei discover?"
"Is it dangerous for him to make such a blind judgment?"
Qin Ran narrowed his eyes and thought.
And the line of sight with [Tracking] turned on began to scan the entire cell.
"Um?"
But such inspection made Qin Ran frown.
Because, he didn't find the footprints of lawless and half-dead people, or to be precise, the footprints of lawless and half-dead people leaving!
The footprints of half-dead people were all over the cell, but only those who entered, never left.
The lawless footprints were only left when turning over and entering this cell, and took two steps forward.
In addition, in the entire cell, except for the footprints left by him and prison guard Jack.
"what happened?"
Qin Ran looked out of the cell in doubt, and after confirming that it wasn't the lawless half-dead who jumped and caused the loss of complete footprints, his brows furrowed even tighter.
"Except for flying!"
"That's the only thing: Lawless disappeared with the half-dead the moment he entered here!"
"disappear?"
Kieran pondered, and looked at the changed 'Evil Seven Stars' again.
Apart from the magic circle that created half-dead people, Kieran couldn't think of anything else that could make Lawless, a senior player who had gone through seven dungeons, disappear without a sound.
The only good news: no reports of lawless deaths.
Qin Ran's eyes scanned the entire cell.
He hoped to find more clues, so that he could deduce what happened here when he came a step late.
However, nothing was found.
Even under [Tracking], Kieran did not find any more traces.
He had checked the cell in front of him a long time ago.
There are no secret rooms, secret passages and the like.
This review also yielded the same conclusion as before.
"Then, there is only..."
Qin Ran looked down at the footprints of the half-dead man.
Or, to be more precise, Zhang Wei's footprints before being transformed into a half-dead man.
Although the opponent's footprints did not leave, they had a complete entry trajectory.
Obviously, as long as he followed the opponent's footprints, it was enough for Kieran to figure out something.
When he was unable to determine what happened to the lawless, Qin Ran was not willing to wait without doing anything.
Such a negative approach is not Kieran's style of doing things.
He prefers an active approach!
However, just as Qin Ran was about to follow Zhang Wei's footprints and leave the prison cell, there was a sound from the opening outside the wall that was hit by a rocket.
Qin Ran turned his head and saw his employer, Steinbeck, climbing up.
"You should obey the orders of the lawless!"
Seeing Steinbeck appearing, Kieran immediately emphasized.
Kieran didn't have any dissatisfaction with his employer.
The other party was generous enough, and did not dictate their actions just because of their employer, and, more importantly, did not dictate their actions.
However, this does not mean that Qin Ran is willing to take the other party on the next trip.
The follow-up is bound to be dangerous.
Zhang Wei is a lesson from the past.
Qin Ran didn't know how to protect the other party while protecting himself.
After all, he is not a lawless veteran player.
not to mention…
Looking at the other person's pale face and timid eyes, Qin Ran couldn't help shaking his head secretly.
If you bring such a timid guy with you, accidents will happen even if nothing happens, and once an accident happens, small things will inevitably turn into big things.
To put it simply: in Kieran's eyes, the other party is a problem.
"I think it's safer for me to follow 2567!"
"That warden looked at me in a wrong way!"
"I'm worried about being his punching bag!"
Steinbeck said very sincerely.
"With your financial resources, if you exchange for points and skill points, there will definitely be no shortage!"
"The price of a white skill book is only between 1000-2000 points!"
"If you want to learn, you can acquire all the white skills that can be seen on the market, and improve these skills to a considerable extent!"
"Under such a premise, are you worried that a warden who is only an ordinary person will be dangerous to you?"
Qin Ran looked at his employer with a strange expression.
He couldn't understand each other at all.
Just like what he said, with the opponent's financial resources, it is easy to gain the power to protect themselves in the underground game, at least there is no problem in the early stage.
If it is considered safe to 'hire' mercenaries to complete the dungeon, of course, one's own cowardice can also be counted in it.
But he also showed timidity in the face of an ordinary person who did not threaten him at all.
How timid is the other party
Mimosa
It is completely out of the category of animals and humans, and shrinks when touched.
"I, I... I'm more afraid of strangers!"
Blush appeared on Steinbeck's pale face, and he stammered a little to explain that the elegant posture on his body was gone forever, leaving only a feeling of shyness and embarrassment.
"What about the animals?"
"Afraid!"
"Where's the monster?"
"Afraid, afraid!"
"Where's the body?"
"Y-I'm afraid too!"
A series of questions and answers allowed Qin Ran to thoroughly confirm the attributes of the other party's 'Mimosa'.
Seeing the blushing and ashamed face of the other party, Qin Ran frowned.
He became more and more determined, and he couldn't take the other party with him.
"As long as you are willing to let me walk with you and protect me!"
"I can give you extra rewards!"
Seeing Qin Ran frown, Steinbeck immediately added.
Although timid, that doesn't mean Steinbeck doesn't know what to say.
In fact, Steinbeck, who came from a wealthy family, is quite familiar with the skill of observing words and emotions.
"How many?"
Qin Ran raised his eyebrows and asked.
"5000 points!"
"It can be written into the team contract!"
Steinbeck made an offer.
"make a deal!"
Such an offer made Qin Ran nod his head very simply.
The previous firmness was completely left behind.
Although Qin Ran was worried about the trouble Steinbeck might bring, but if Steinbeck offered a corresponding price, Qin Ran would not mind spending more energy to help the other party.
Well…
For the sake of 5000 points.
But Kieran will never forget some due things.
"However, you need to listen to me in all actions!"
"Otherwise, if something happens, you need to bear it yourself!"
"These are also written into the team contract!"
Qin Ran said.
"OK!"
Steinbeck had no objection.
"Come with me now, try to stay within three steps of me!"
"And when you encounter anything, you need to be cold..."
After Steinbeck wrote everything into the team contract and both parties signed it again, Kieran started a new round of exhortations.
However, Qin Ran hadn't finished the word 'calm' yet.
Standing next to Qin Ran, Steinbeck saw something, his face was extremely pale and he let out a scream.
ah!
Following Steinbeck's scream, a gust of cold wind appeared behind Kieran.
