Chapter 27: Strange

What's behind the door?

After such a thought rose from the bottom of Qin Ran's heart, it irrepressibly aroused Qin Ran's curiosity.

However, Qin Ran didn't walk over immediately.

He turned on the skill [Tracking] and carefully checked his feet.

There are four sets of footprints, which are the footprints of himself, Steinbeck, Zhang Wei and Capper.

Among them, the footprints of him, Steinbeck, and Zhang Wei are very clear, while Carplatin is a lot more blurry, obviously for a while.

That's not the point, though.

The point is that from the position in front of you to the position of the gate, there is no trace on the entire ground in between.

To put it simply: no one has ever come near there.

At least, no one has been near there for a long time recently.

In other words, someone has been here, but they have not reached the back of the door in the normal way of walking.

Flight?

Soul form?

Qin Ran guessed.

After possessing [Mysterious Knowledge], even if the level was only at the basic level, it was enough for Qin Ran to have a broader horizon.

The knowledge in his mind told Qin Ran that those seemingly incredible methods were quite feasible.

Although he doesn't know the specific method.

But it allowed Qin Ran to discern if there were traps around him that had been constructed with such special knowledge.

Qin Ran examined more and more carefully.

After a full ten minutes, Qin Ran was sure that there were no such traps around.

However, this does not mean that Qin Ran will stride there.

"I'll go find some stones!"

Qin Ran said to Steinbeck.

"I'm here to help!"

Steinbeck followed Qin Ran and left.

Steinbeck knew the word "stone-throwing" and had seen many hired veterans do it, but it was the first time he had offered to help.

As for the reason?

Naturally, there is only one: he is afraid of being alone in a cold, dark place, but he doesn't want to take the initiative to say it.

Even if you know that you are timid, it is another thing to take the initiative to speak up.

The dignity of being a man makes Steinbeck feel shy and embarrassed.

Even if that dignity is only ...... A little bit!

"I think it's safe for you to stay outside!"

Qin Ran, who returned from the beach with a handful of stones, looked at Steinbeck, who also helped him grab a handful of stones, and couldn't help but persuade.

For the sake of the other party's initiative to help, and for his sake as a temporary protector.

"I think it's safer to stay with 2567!"

"My instincts have always been accurate!"

Steinbeck shook his head, stubborn.

You think you're a critter?

Have an instinct for danger?

What a self-righteous mimosa!

Qin Ran couldn't help but roll his eyes.

However, they didn't pay attention to each other.

What he can say has already been said, whether he listens or not is the other party's business, he is just a 'temporary worker', not the other party's full-time nanny.

The next moment, Qin Ran's attention was all on the passage in front of him that no one seemed to have walked through.

Sou! Sou! Sou!

Syllable! Syllable! Syllable!

The stone in his hand, under Qin Ran's D-level power, was like a slingshot, hitting the solid ground with a crisp sound.

Starting from Qin Ran's feet and going all the way to the front of the gate, almost every half meter or so, a mark will be left.

No traps?

Qin Ran was slightly stunned.

In his vision, such a hidden place, even if there were no traps built by those special knowledge, must be full of mechanisms.

But now, there is nothing.

"Isn't it something important?"

Subconsciously, Qin Ran came to such a conclusion.

And such a conclusion naturally made Qin Ran frown.

After all, a moment ago, he was wondering if he would find an unexpected gain.

However, this did not make Qin Ran give up the idea of finding out.

"Wait here!"

Qin Ran told Steinbeck.

"I can help!"

Steinbeck emphasized.

"Help?"

"Are you sure?"

Qin Ran turned his head and looked at Steinbeck with a smile, the latter immediately blushed as if he had been seen through the essence of timidity, and said in a low voice: "I really want to help!" ”

"But good intentions sometimes do bad things!"

Qin Ran said.

Immediately Steinbeck stood there with a disappointed expression, like a mimosa swaying in the wind, its thin leaves trembling softly, as if they could close at any moment.

"Stay outside...... It's the limit! ”

Qin Ran looked at the helplessness on the other party's face, facing such a temporary employer, he could only sigh, he pointed to the door and said.

"Okay, okay!"

Steinbeck nodded repeatedly.

After Steinbeck walked to the place outside the door that was set by Qin Ran, Qin Ran looked at the door.

After checking for a moment and confirming that there would be no traps on it, Qin Ran pushed hard towards the door leaning on his side.

Squeak!

The moment the door was pushed open, Qin Ran's body jumped to the other side.

Although he confirmed that there were no traps on the door, Qin Ran was not sure if the door was connected to the traps, such as arrows shot like a torrential rain when the door opened, or venom that could corrode steel.

However, it turned out that Qin Ran was too worried.

After the door was pushed open, nothing happened.

No arrows were fired, and no venom was spewed.

The only thing that has is a ringing sound.

Boom! Boom!

A slow, but powerful sound.

And it's extremely rhythmic.

It seems to be ...... The sound of a heartbeat?

Heartbeat?!

Qin Ran was taken aback by this thought that rose in his heart.

Then, he looked out.

Suddenly, everything he saw in his sight made Qin Ran stunned.

In the huge and empty hall, a coffin with a bronze luster sits in the air!

Although it was several times larger than an ordinary coffin, it was the size of a truck, and the texture was also metal, and there were words and symbols on it that were unrecognizable by the basic level of [mysterious knowledge].

But that kind of appearance, Qin Ran can confirm that it is a coffin!

And on that coffin, thirteen iron chains of different thicknesses were wrapped around it like snakes, the thickest chains were the thickness of an adult's thigh, and the thinnest one was only the thickness of a baby's little finger, if it weren't for Qin Ran's eyesight, he wouldn't have found this chain at all.

Thirteen chains of varying thicknesses were firmly locked to the bronze coffin.

The chains were windless and automatic, but they didn't make any sound.

Only the red light that flickers from time to time proves that they are extraordinary.

"W-This?"

Steinbeck on the side was also stunned by the scene in front of him, and the other party, who was already timid, couldn't even finish his words at this time and became stammering.

"Hide!"

Qin Ran shouted sharply.

Because, an invisible ripple, with layers of ripples, took shape on the giant coffin, and a figure loomed in it.

Qin Ran raised the [M1905] without hesitation, which was a continuous shooting.

Bang bang bang!
