The night breeze blows the candles.

Between the flickering flames, the light was uncertain, and even the face in front of Qin Ran became bright and dark.

The face in front of me is covered with scars, criss-crossed, as if it was patchwork, and the original face is completely invisible.

Only a scar that crossed the center of the eyebrows from the right forehead to the corner of the left mouth was extremely clear.

This face was frozen between the open doors, and his dull eyes stared at Qin Ran like this, which was extraordinarily infiltrating.

Coupled with those scars, it looks even more hideous and makes people feel chills in their hearts.

Qin Ran looked this face up and down, and then pushed the door straight in.

And that face quickly sank into the darkness with Qin Ran's push of the door, disappearing between breaths.

Syllable!

The candle fell to the floor and went out.

The location of the corridor in front of the door of the whole room was completely shrouded in darkness.

But in the living room, there were bursts of whispers.

The voice was indistinct, and even Qin Ran, who had reached C- perception, couldn't hear clearly what he was saying.

However, as Qin Ran lit the candle in his hand, the whispering voice disappeared, as if he was afraid of the light.

Call! Call!

However, a series of breaths filled the room.

Then, without waiting for Qin Ran to take a closer step, several yellow-green ghost fires appeared in front of him, and these ghost fires were erratic and passed in front of Qin Ran at a rapid speed.

But Qin Ran seemed to turn a blind eye, holding a candle and walking to the living room.

The living room in front of him was not big, only a few sofas and an imitation fireplace heating, Qin Ran chose one of the sofas and sat down, and put the candle in his hand at his feet.

Next, there is silence.

Except for the 'crackling' sound when the candle burns. There was no sound.

After a full ten minutes, a voice full of compromise sounded from the side of the hallway.

"Okay, okay!"

"I admit you won!"

As she spoke, a girl dressed in ordinary clothes with a nice face, but her eyes full of cunning, walked into the living room with a candlestick.

Immediately, the light filled the living room.

The other party directly chose a sofa next to Qin Ran and sat in, and then looked at Qin Ran with curious eyes.

"You're not afraid?"

The other party asked.

"Afraid, why be afraid?"

"Because of that mask?"

"Or a balloon with white scales?"

"Or maybe the tape recorder you're hiding in that replica fireplace?"

Qin Ran turned his head to look at the girl in front of him. Said word by word.

"You saw through it all?"

"Sure enough, he deserves to be one of my competitors!"

"Meet me, I'm Elle. Jones! ”

The other party was stunned for a moment, and then immediately stretched out his hand with great interest, wanting to shake hands with Qin Ran.

However, Qin Ran didn't have the slightest intention of raising his hand.

He looked at the palm of the other's hand, slender and white, with slender fingers. There was a ring on his index finger, and under the candlelight, the inside of that ring shimmered with a different luster.

Some moist feeling.

"Super glue on top?"

Qin Ran asked.

"What a sharp observation!"

Ally. Jones was not at all embarrassed or apprehensive when he was discovered. Instead, he showed a smile full of youthful vitality, looking at Qin Ran with a far more detailed gaze than before.

It seems that he wants to see through Qin Ran.

Qin Ran, on the other hand, didn't care about the other party's observation, and stood up straight according to the original plan. Start inspecting the entire building.

The building is divided into two floors, connected by a staircase on the side of the living room.

On the ground floor there is a hallway, living room, kitchen, study and a door to the back garden.

Qin Ran twisted the handle of the door, and it was completely rusted.

Go up to the second floor. There is a master bedroom and three secondary bedrooms, as well as a terrace.

The door to the terrace can be opened, and standing on the terrace you can see everything in the back garden, which is a small back garden, only a flower bed and a dozen flower pots, the plants inside have already withered after lack of care, and the same is surrounded by iron fences, like a death cage, lifeless.

However, an entrance that should be a basement appeared in Qin Ran's eyes.

Close to the side of the main building, you won't find it if you don't go up to the terrace or look outside the room.

Qin Ran turned around and walked down the second floor, walking towards the basement entrance.

And at this time, Ellie, who had been following behind Qin Ran. Jones couldn't help but say.

"There's nothing there!"

"There is no message from the 'psychic' Nikelle!"

"There are no other competitors!"

"I still don't understand what that test is, you know?"

Ally. Jones looked at Qin Ran suspiciously as he spoke, hoping to get an answer.

Of course, Qin Ran knew what this test was.

In the past, he had already found some important clues.

However, Qin Ran will not tell Elle. Jones.

You know, this is the key to whether or not he can become the assistant of the 'psychic' Nikelle.

If becoming a 'psychic' Nikailei's assistant had nothing to do with the main quest, Qin Ran would naturally not attach such importance to it, but once it was related to the punishment for failing the main quest, it was impossible for Qin Ran not to pay attention to it.

And, for fellow competitor Elle. Jones, Qin Ran didn't fully believe it.

Therefore, Qin Ran walked to the entrance of the basement without stopping, opened the door leaning on the wall of the main building, and a downward ladder appeared in front of Qin Ran's eyes.

Raising the candle, Qin Ran walked down with vigilance.

On the one hand, be alert to the dangers that may arise in the basement.

On the other hand, be wary of Ellie. Jones.

However, it wasn't until Qin Ran completely went down to the basement that Ellie. Jones didn't make any unusual moves.

And the basement is just as the other party said, there is nothing abnormal.

It was empty, with neither a door to the main building nor anything to place it.

"You should choose to trust others!"

When Qin Ran returned to the ground, Ellie. Jones said.

"Hmm!"

Qin Ran nodded noncommittally, but his gaze swept over Ellie. Jones.

Such an impudent move. Jean Ellie. Jones frowned, but immediately, she heard a knock at the door.

"There's a new person coming!"

Ally. Jones said, a mischievous smile on his face, and then ran briskly towards the door to the main building.

Soon, however, a cry of pain appeared on Elle. Jones's mouth.

When Qin Ran walked over, he had already seen Ellie. Jones was knelt on the ground by a middle-aged man twisting his arm.

Ally. Jones also saw Qin Ran. Subconsciously, you have to call for help.

But the words are on the lips, Ellie. Jones suddenly found out that she didn't even know Qin Ran's name, but the pain in her arm reminded Elle. Jones: She had to call for help.

Otherwise, her arm would have been broken.

Just in Elle. When Jones was about to speak directly, the pain in her arm suddenly disappeared, and the man who twisted her arm had already rushed towards Qin Ran.

But the man froze in place the next moment.

A silver revolver appeared in Qin Ran's hand, pointing directly at him.

"Who are you?"

Qin Ran asked.

"Deloch. Received an invitation from 'Psychic' Ni Carlet to come here! ”

"I didn't mean to attack this lady, she showed malice first!"

Facing the firearm, the other party raised his hands very cooperatively and said.

"I call that a prank!"

Ally. Jones rubbed his still aching arm and glared at Delech.

"That's malicious, too!"

Dilöch emphasized.

And then. looked at Qin Ran.

Di Leqi, who was wearing a dress, felt extremely uncomfortable because he raised his hands high, and the pulling of his shoulders and neckline made him feel extremely uncomfortable, but he didn't dare to put down his hands, because. He couldn't guarantee that Qin Ran wouldn't shoot.

The hairs that stood up in the moment when Qin Ran pointed a gun at him made him understand that Qin Ran was very difficult to mess with.

Luckily. The next moment, Qin Ran put away the gun.

This made Deleqi breathe a long sigh of relief.

"You also received an invitation from the 'psychic' Nikella to come here?"

Diloch asked.

"We are your competitors!"

"Don't worry, with our presence, you can't become the assistant of the 'psychic' Nikelei!"

Ally. Jones said angrily.

Moreover, he pulled Qin Ran into his camp and began to fake the tiger.

"Not necessarily!"

"I'm very good at special situations!"

The middle-aged Di Leqi glanced at Qin Ran with jealousy, but then said with confidence.

"Complacency begets failure!"

Ally. Jones scoffed.

"The same is true of self-indulgence!"

Delech laughed.

Qin Ran, on the other hand, was not interested in listening to the mutual ridicule of the two, his eyes looked at the iron gate, and a figure walked in from outside the open iron gate.

The whole body is wrapped in a trench coat, and under the black top hat is a face wrapped in layers of bandages.

Only eyes, nostrils, and mouth are exposed.

As soon as the other party appeared, they put Elle. Jones and Delech's attention was drawn to the past.

"I'm sorry, I had a bad fire, so I became like this!"

"I'm here with an invitation from 'Psychic' Nikele!"

"You guys?"

There was friendliness in the hoarse and dry voice.

"So are we!"

Ally. Jones said, looking at the fourth contender with curiosity.

"Raul, you can call me that!"

The other party introduced himself.

Next, it's another mutual introduction, in Elle. Under Jones's curiosity, Qin Ran said the name of '2567'.

Faced with such a pseudonym, including Elle. No one, including Jones, expressed surprise.

This seems normal to people who are exposed to special events.

To put it simply, their respective introductions may also be pseudonyms.

It's just that there is no 'alternative' like Qin Ran who has been seen through at a glance.

The four of them returned to the building, and Qin Ran returned to the living room, choosing the sofa before to sit down.

And Di Leqi and Raul repeated Qin Ran's actions again.

Even Elle. Jones said what he had said to Qin Ran before, and it was the same.

This makes Elle. Jones was exasperated.

"Damn!"

"Haven't you all learned how to trust others?"

Annoyed Ellie. Jones said indignantly.

And at this time-

Yes!

A hurried scream came from upstairs.

Then there is the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

At the same time as the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, there was a knock on the door.

Knock knock!
