In the room, Smith's fingertips rubbed against the lines of the flask.

It is not the flask itself, but a cowhide cover made to prevent friction and collision damage to the flask itself.

This cowhide cover is so delicately made that people will only think of it as a cowhide wine jug at first glance.

On the top near the inside, there is also a buckle that can be easily pinned to the waist.

Of course, for Smith, holding it in his hand is the most convenient option.

Knock, knock.

Taking a few gulps of wine, Smith muttered to himself indistinctly.

"An unexpected spoiler?"

"It's a real headache."

Boulder, who was crawling there, immediately stuck his head over and rubbed Smith comfortingly.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

"And it's not the worst yet."

"Such an accident is still within my range."

A smile appeared on Smith's face as he waved his hand at Boulder, and then he looked out the door.

Tread, stomp.

The sound of clear footsteps reached his ears.

Two people.

One is Tyres, Ronmus's most loyal and capable subordinate.

The other is the one he is waiting for: 2567!

"Professor Smith ......"

"Come in."

"And there's nothing left for you here."

Smith replied in the affirmative to the knock on the door, and waved his hand more directly at Tyres.

Professor Thales looked at Smith and couldn't help but smile wryly.

Although both sides are professors, there is a considerable gap between him as a professor and Smith as a professor.

Whether it is strength or merit.

Especially the latter, he is even more out of reach.

Therefore, after Professor Smith glanced at Qin Ran beside him, he turned around and exited the room.

Didn't stay outside the door.

In Qin Ran's ears, Professor Smith's footsteps walked directly towards the outside of the entire house, and did not stop until he was about to leave the periphery of the house.

A distance that can not be heard in the room, but can appear in time if something unexpected happens.

"Think of yourself as a clever guy."

Smith pursed the corners of his lips and pointed to the sofa in front of Qin Ran.

"But at least, people aren't bad."

Qin Ran sat down on the sofa and replied.

"Do you mean, after you found the other party, they directly told you where I was?"

Smith did not refute this, but the dissatisfaction in his words was obvious.

"It's a big move this time."

Qin Ran answered the question.

"So, you showed up in front of me?"

Smith grinned.

"Hmm."

"Because, I don't understand, in such a big event, why did you 'notify' me in advance, and even gave me quite a benefit."

Qin Ran nodded.

"People who are cautious and suspicious will live a very tired life."

Smith said with a hint of caution.

"At least, better than sudden death!"

Qin Ran was not moved at all.

"Death is not terrible sometimes."

"It's scary to see how you face death."

"After going through despair, struggle, and madness, you have enough qualifications to make everyone look at you - I bet with Ron Muls that you are the key point, which is why I will give you [Broken Fusion Seed] as a reward."

"Because, I know very well, once someone like you finds out about it afterwards, it will definitely cause me big trouble."

Smith shrugged his shoulders and twisted the flask again.

"You seem to know me well?"

Qin Ran asked.

"It's not about you, it's about myself!"

Smith took a sip of his wine and shook the flask, the sound of the wine hitting the wall of the bottle.

Judging from the sound, there is probably about half a pot.

And this seems to be a 'stop line' for Smith.

He carefully put the flask back in his arms, and then continued: "Maybe you don't believe it, you are exactly the same as when I was young! ”

"Whether it's looks, personality, or even behavior patterns."

"Although it looks different now, if you look closely at my eyes, eyebrows, and nose, are they a little similar to you?"

As if to convince Qin Ran, Smith gestured to himself again and again.

"Hmm"

"I'll try not to be bald, blind, lame."

Qin Ran replied very seriously.

"I'm just bald, not bald."

Smith emphasized.

"Is there a difference?"

Qin Ran asked rhetorically.

"Absolutely."

"It was of my own free will, not force majeure, as if you were stolen by Maye from the reward food for the freshman dinner, and then, led to Ruud, Delton, and even Pyrrenault of Hillriliu."

Smith said meaningfully.

"So, you're also interested in "Guan Shilu"?"

Qin Ran looked at the other party intently, and asked in a slow tone.

"Guan Shilu?"

"A little, but I'm more interested in Hillier."

"As far as I know, there's nothing about the Hill genre at all."

"But, it appeared."

"Moreover, it shows the consistent tenet of the Hill genre: speed and props, but it is more compatible, even to the extent that it combines sharpness with the palm of one's own hand."

"Therefore, I have to suspect that Hilleriliu really exists, but I didn't know it before."

"Things in this world are so fucked up, every time you think you have everything in control, there will always be some accidents that jump out and make you unhappy."

At the end of the day, Smith muttered disapprovingly.

"You want more information from me about Hillriliu?"

"Or the whereabouts of Ruud and Pyle Reno?"

Qin Ran asked.

"Everything."

"Whether it's Hillier's information, or Ruud's and Pyrenor's whereabouts, it's fine."

"I'll pay you what you want."

Smith nodded.

Qin Ran, who was staring at the other party, saw the sincerity in the other party's expression.

In perception, there is not the slightest malice.

To put it simply, if he makes a deal with the other party, he will immediately gain a lot of money.

But Qin Ran still shook his head.

"It's a pity."

"I don't know either."

"Ruud and Pyle Reynaud were the ones I discovered because of a series of coincidences, and after several trades with Garcia, they would have figured out what the problem was if they weren't idiots."

"In fact, the dark line I found was broken after Garcia shot at Pyle Renault."

Qin Ran said matter-of-factly.

It seems that everything is true.

At least, in Smith's eyes, that's true.

Because, this is what makes sense.

A dark faction and incumbent who have been hidden for many years, if they were really caught so easily, then the other party should have disappeared into history a long time ago.

"I'm in trouble."

"It's true for you, and for me."

Smith sighed.

Qin Ran looked at each other puzzled.

"You wouldn't think Oliver. That's all for Ryder, right? ”

Smith leaned back on the sofa, his eyes fixed on Qin Ran.

And Qin Ran, who had been prepared for a long time, pretended to frown.

"Those families are always so troublesome."

Qin Ran said so.

There was disgust in his tone, and he vividly showed a trace of helplessness.

Although he is not an aborigine, a lot of reading has allowed Qin Ran to grasp quite a lot of information. Ryder's style of acting was enough for Qin Ran to understand what attitude he should use to describe this matter, so as to clear his suspicions.

"It's more troublesome than you think."

"If there's something going on, you can go to Tells."

"Didn't you say that others aren't bad?"

"He'll help you."

As he spoke, Smith curled up his legs in the couch and closed his eyes.

Obviously, the other side didn't want to talk any further.

Qin Ran didn't mean to stay.

Click!

With the crisp sound of the door locking, Qin Ran disappeared behind the door, and Smith opened his one eye and looked at Boulder, who had been crawling on the side.

"Remember his scent?"

"Follow the smell and look for it."

"Maybe we'll have an unexpected discovery."

Smith commanded.

Boulder nodded and disappeared into the room again.

After Boulder disappeared, Smith lay back on the couch once more.

"How can you prove that what you say is true without careful verification?"

Smith muttered in a muffled voice.

……

"Professor Smith made a bet with Dean Ronms?"

"What's the stake?"

Qin Ran and Professor Tersi walked side by side on the path back to the student apartment, without hiding their curiosity, Qin Ran asked directly.

"I can't say what the bet is."

"Because it concerns the privacy of Dean Ron Hearts and Professor Smith, I can only tell you if they agree."

Professor Terse looked at Qin Ran apologetically.

Then, as if to make up for Qin Ran, the professor continued: "The Ryder family has already sent someone to Teorit, and it will be there in the next few days, you have to be careful." ”

"Professor Smith reminded me."

Qin Ran replied.

"This is not just a reminder, but a warning from me as a professor. Ryder was the first in line to the throne of the Ryder family. ”

"He's in the interests of a large group of people."

"Although many people also want him to disappear forever."

"But more people want him to inherit the Ryder family."

"You have my number in the liaison, and if anything happens, I'll intervene, and if I can't fix it, Dean Ronms."

"You have to remember that you are a student of Teorit, or the head of freshmen, and behind you is the whole Teorit."

Professor Thales said with a serious expression.

"Hmm."

Qin Ran bowed slightly, and did not make any more remarks.

He has always believed that it is better to rely on no one than on himself.

At this time, nature will not change.

Looking at Qin Ran's appearance, Professor Tells sighed helplessly.

The chief student of each session is so unruly.

Only when you really suffer a loss will you understand how ridiculous your mistakes and naivety are at the beginning.

But only a small number of people can have such an opportunity.

Most of them can only be mourned under the tombstones.

"I hope you don't become the latter."

Professor Terth said silently in his heart.

He didn't say anything more, because he knew that Qin Ran at this time would not listen, so he could only send some more guards.

Qin Ran watched the change in Professor Talsi's expression, and easily guessed the other party's thoughts.

But there is no reminder or ask the other party to change anything.

Even, in some ways, he needs the other person to do it.

At the very least, it would make Professor Smith act and have some scruples.

That's right!

At this time, Qin Ran was not worried about the so-called Ryder family, but was worried about the Professor Smith.

After the conversation just now, Qin Ran became more and more convinced that the other party was hiding something.

What's more, the other party's seemingly ordinary words are always tempting.

Obviously, the other party does not trust him at all.

And will not believe what he says.

You have to verify it yourself before you can believe what you see.

As it happens, he is also such a person.

So, he knew what he was going to do next.

At the door of the student apartment, Qin Ran said goodbye to Professor Tels, and walked upstairs under the greeting of Lester.

Professor Thales looked at the former Dark Eater and opened his mouth to say something, but it turned into another shaking of his head and a sigh.

But in his heart, the professor sent three more guards to the 'protection' plan he had just formulated.

As soon as he returned to the room, the former dark eater consciously sat on the floor with his back against the wall of the door, and several independent LCD screens appeared in his hands.

For former Dark Eaters, the requirements for living environment are not high, in fact, most of the time, they need to avoid pursuit and hide their identities, and they can't talk about the so-called living environment at all.

To be able to show up in the room like this, enjoying the sun, the breeze and the normal food.

Everything was so beautiful.

So, the former Dark Eater cherishes everything in front of him.

And, carefully protect all this.

The corridors, rooftops, entrances, and blind spots of the entire apartment building were all monitored by him.

He strives for anyone who enters here to be in his sight.

Qin Ran didn't disturb the work of the former Dark Eater, and after discovering that the other party had mechanical and electronic talents, Qin Ran was happy that the other party would give him more help.

It's like the frost wolf who came over at this moment and kept sniffing on his backpack.

While sniffing, the frostwolf wagged its tail vigorously.

Don't doubt it, the [Red Oni's Stomach Bag] has the effect of insulating odors, and even the nose of the frost wolf can't smell what is contained in it.

The War Fanatic's Box is similar.

And the reason why the frostwolf did this was only to know his master.

It can find that its master must have a great harvest based on Qin Ran's slight breath.

"Clever guy."

Qin Ran touched the frost wolf's head, but he didn't take out the [Daigo Liquid] that had already been prepared for it and the fire crow.

First, it's not safe.

Second, the smell.

If the frost wolf and the fire crow drank the [Daigo's liquid], it would be difficult for them to control the residual smell of the [Daigo's liquid], and if they were tracked, his entire plan would be in vain.

Woo, woo.

The frostwolf let out a flattering whimper.

"Soon."

"Trust me."

Qin Ran said, picking up the book that he hadn't finished reading on the side.

After seeing Qin Ran's movements, the frost wolf immediately stopped whimpering, coiled up and nested at Qin Ran's feet, pricking up his ears to listen to the surroundings.

Farther away, on the windowsill, the eyes of the fire crow scanned the surroundings.

Suddenly, this made the newly arrived watcher extremely embarrassed.
