Chapter 21 Peers

"It's not what I remember!"

"It's changed!"

After recalling it again, Qin Ran could completely confirm that the 'Demon Great Seven Stars' magic array in front of him had changed a little from the first time he saw it.

Very subtle changes!

If it weren't for Qin Ran's rote memorization of the original 'Demon Great Seven Stars' magic array not long ago, he wouldn't have been able to notice this subtle change at all: just three of the forty-one symbols between the outer ring and the inner ring had changed!

However, Qin Ran would definitely not underestimate such a change.

Because he knows very well that any symbol that may represent knowledge and words, even if it is only a single change, will become completely different from the original meaning.

And in the center of this changed 'Demon Great Seven Stars', there is a pair of footprints in the position that looks like a scorpion pattern!

Zhang Wei's footprints!

Previously, when tracking the death of the deputy warden, the other party passed by him, leaving footprints exactly the same as the pair in front of him.

Looking at this pair of footprints, Qin Ran immediately had such a picture in his mind-

Zhang Wei, who thought he had discovered some secret, entered this cell.

Without hesitation, the other party walked into the original 'Demon Great Seven Stars' magic array, chanting a spell or in other ways, so that the 'Demon Great Seven Stars' magic array in front of him changed.

Then, the other party ruined his own life.

By Kilfin. Huffy possessed and became half-dead.

"What did Zhang Wei find?"

"Let him so blindly conclude that there is no danger in doing so?"

Qin Ran squinted and thought.

The sight of [Tracking] begins to look through the entire cell.

"Huh?"

But this kind of inspection made Qin Ran frown.

Because, he didn't even find the footprints of lawlessness and half-dead, or rather, the footprints of lawlessness and half-dead!

The footprints of the half-dead were scattered throughout the cell, but only those who entered, and those who did not leave.

The lawless footprints were left only when he turned over and entered the cell, and he took two steps forward.

In addition, the entire cell, except for the footprints left by him and the prison guard Jack.

"What happened?"

Qin Ran looked at the outside of the cell suspiciously, and after confirming that it was not the lawless and half-dead man who caused the loss of the complete footprint trajectory by jumping, his brows furrowed even tighter.

"Except for flying!"

"That's all there is: Lawlessness disappeared with the half-dead the moment he entered here!"

"Disappear?"

Qin Ran groaned, and his gaze looked at the changed 'Demon Great Seven Stars' again.

Aside from this magic array that created half-dead people, Qin Ran couldn't think of anything else that could make Lawless, a veteran player who had survived seven dungeons, disappear silently.

The only good news is that there is no message of lawless death.

Qin Ran's gaze scanned the entire cell.

He wanted to find more clues that would allow him to deduce what had happened here when he was a step too late.

However, nothing was found.

Even under [Tracking], Qin Ran didn't find any more traces.

The cell in front of him, he had already investigated.

There are no secret rooms, secret passages or anything like that.

This time, we also came to the same conclusion as before.

"Then, only ...... remained"

Qin Ran lowered his head and looked at the footprints of the half-dead man.

Or, more precisely, Zhang Wei's footprints before they were not transformed into half-dead people.

Although the footprints of the other party did not leave, they had a complete trajectory of entering.

Obviously, as long as he tracked the other party's footprints, it was enough for Qin Ran to figure out some things.

When he couldn't be sure what happened to Lawlessness, Qin Ran was not willing to wait for nothing.

Such a negative approach is not Qin Ran's style of doing things.

He prefers the proactive approach!

However, just as Qin Ran was about to track Zhang Wei's footprints and leave the cell, there was a sound outside the wall where the rockets had hit.

Qin Ran turned his head and saw his employer Steinbeck climb up this time.

"You should listen to lawlessness!"

Looking at Steinbeck who appeared, Qin Ran immediately emphasized.

Qin Ran did not have any dissatisfaction with his employer.

The other party is generous enough, and does not dictate because of the employer, and, more importantly, does not dictate their actions.

However, this does not mean that Qin Ran is willing to take the other party on the next trip.

The next tracking is bound to be dangerous.

Zhang Wei is a lesson from the past.

Qin Ran was not sure to protect the other party while protecting himself.

After all, he's not a lawless veteran.

Not to mention......

Qin Ran looked at the other party's pale face and timid eyes, and couldn't help but shake his head secretly.

If you bring such a timid guy, even if you have nothing to do, something will happen, and once something happens, it will inevitably turn a small thing into a big thing.

To put it simply: In Qin Ran's opinion, the other party is a trouble.

"I think it's safer for me to follow 2567!"

"The warden looked at me a little wrong!"

"I'm worried about being his punching bag!"

Steinbeck said sincerely.

"With your financial resources, if you exchange points and skill points, you will definitely not be lacking!"

"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 you can see on the market and improve them to a considerable extent!"

"Under such a premise, you would be worried that a prison 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 the other party at all.

As he said, with the other party's financial resources, it is easy to gain self-protection in the underground game, at least there is no problem in the early stage.

If it is a matter of safety to 'hire' a mercenary to complete a dungeon, of course, you can also take your own timidity into account.

But in the face of an ordinary person who is not a threat to himself at all, he also shows timidity.

How timid is the other party?

Mimosa?

It is completely out of the category of animals and humans, and shrinks at the touch of it.

"I, I...... I'm more afraid of strangers! ”

Steinbeck's pale face flushed, and he stammered slightly, and the graceful posture on his body was gone, leaving only a feeling of shyness and embarrassment.

"What about the animals?"

"I'm afraid!"

"What about monsters?"

"Afraid, afraid!"

"What about the corpses?"

"I'm afraid!"

A series of questions and answers allowed Qin Ran to completely confirm the other party's 'mimosa' attributes.

Seeing the other party's blushing face and looking ashamed, 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 pay you extra!"

Looking at Qin Ran's frowning appearance, Steinbeck immediately added.

Although he is 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 feelings.

"How much?"

Qin Ran raised his eyebrows and asked.

"5000 points!"

"It can be written into the party contract!"

Steinbeck made an offer.

"Deal!"

Such an offer made Qin Ran nod very dryly.

Completely left behind the previous firmness.

Although Qin Ran was worried about the trouble that Steinbeck might bring, if Steinbeck gave the corresponding price, Qin Ran still didn't mind spending more energy to help the other party.

Not......

For the sake of 5000 points.

But some of the deserved, Qin Ran will not forget.

"However, everything needs to listen to me!"

"Otherwise, if something happens, you need to bear it yourself!"

"These are also written into the team contract!"

Qin Ran said.

"Okay!"

Steinbeck had no objection.

"Come with me now, and try to stay within three steps of me!"

"And if you encounter anything, you need to be cold......"

After Steinbeck wrote everything into the team contract and the two sides signed it again, Qin Ran began a new round of advice.

It's just that he hasn't waited for Qin Ran to finish finishing the word 'calm'.

Steinbeck, who was standing beside Qin Ran, saw something, and let out a scream with a pale face.

Yes!

With Steinbeck's scream, a cold and biting cold wind appeared behind Qin Ran.
