Chapter 14: The Controller
Lore looked at the players around him, seemingly indistinguishable from ordinary players.
But so many people stand together, but quietly.
It's not holding your breath, it's ......
No breathing!
Lore was startled, and he looked at it with a more cautious gaze, and then he noticed that not only were the players not breathing, but their chests were not heaving in the slightest, and they didn't even seem to have a heartbeat.
This, this......
Completely beyond Lore's imagination, the notoriously timid player quickly curled up in a corner of the house - not that it was very hidden, in fact, after the walls and roof were ripped off, there was no so-called hiding in the whole room.
The real reason is that there is a secret passage here.
A secret passage out of Edge Street.
He dug it out himself, and it was one of the main reasons why he chose this place.
Qin Ran, who was present, and Sekeley didn't pay attention to Lore at all.
Qin Ran's gaze swept over the dense crowd.
And Sekeley?
He laughed again.
"Flame Demon, enjoy!"
"This is my feast for you!"
Bang!
In the midst of laughter, Sekeley's whole body burst into flames.
Flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the thick blood turned into a cloud of mist that filled the original room, firmly binding Qin Ran inside.
The dense crowd around them whispered as this burst began.
Evil, filthy voices buzzed.
The sky darkened all of a sudden.
The imitation sun over the huge city was obscured like this.
Darkness seemed to be a canopy, enveloping the entire fringe street.
A hint of scarlet was born in the darkness.
Like smoke and fog.
Eventually, it becomes flocculent.
The flocculent scarlet straightened violently, piercing through the canopy, and then ...... Open it slowly!
It's like when you wake up and open your eyes!
Ordinary people naturally have nothing to open their eyes, but the 'eyes' in front of them are different, you must know that it runs through the entire black canopy!
Anything that becomes so big can cause unimaginable changes.
Even the slightest action of opening your eyes can bring a storm.
Woo!
In the roar of a hurricane.
The wind changed from invisible to tangible, and in the evil whisper, with its own wild power, it rushed straight to Qin Ran.
The wind is fast, but Qin Ran is faster.
He suddenly became invisible, as if the blood-colored restraints had no effect at all.
Rumble!
The hurricane smashed heavily on the ground where Qin Ran was standing, the debris splashed, and a large pit more than ten meters deep appeared, the hurricane was like an earthworm, still drilling under the ground, but no matter how powerful the force was, it was useless if it didn't hit the target.
The evil murmur continued.
The blood-colored mist burst open at once.
It contaminated the ground around it, and it quickly cracked.
It touched the people around it, and the whisperers immediately melted and joined in as a cloud of blood.
In the middle of a breath, more than a dozen people turned into blood mist.
This makes the blood mist even thicker.
It also makes its corrosive power even more terrifying.
However, it didn't devour the whispering crowd again, but quickly circulated around it.
It was looking for a target: Qin Ran.
The huge eye above his head opened a little more.
The hurricane roared, but instead of swooping down as before, it hovered in the air.
Blood-colored rays of light shot out from the eyes of the huge eyes.
The light instantly fell on the fringe street.
Qin Ran, who was hidden in the void, was dragged out like this, and the circling hurricane immediately smashed down on his head.
Looking at the hurricane that slammed in front of him, Qin Ran's lips moved slightly.
Under the cover of the system, no one can see such a situation.
Again, no one heard what he said.
But looking at the eyes that are full of helplessness and resentment, it is definitely not a willing word.
And such words are seen by someone hiding in the shadows.
"Lamenting your misfortune?"
"Or do you regret it now?"
"It's late! It's late! ”
"When your arrogance covers your eyes, your end is doomed—"
"Death?"
"No!"
"You won't die!"
"It will be something that you can't ask for, and you will be my slave and fight for me until I want you to die!"
In a gloomy laugh, a man in a scarlet trench coat looked at Qin Ran, who was about to be hit by the hurricane, with extremely expectant eyes.
And in his hands held two scrolls.
Two scrolls specially prepared for Qin Ran.
Demon blood.
Powerful psychic power.
When he was preparing to deal with Qin Ran, how could he not collect these materials, and after collecting them, he would naturally prepare.
The scroll was about to be torn apart under the force of the palm of the hand.
But in the end, it hung down weakly.
A palm sticking out of the shadows snapped his neck.
Gaba!
In the crisp sound, the other party's eyes widened and looked at the shadow behind him, obviously, the other party didn't understand why Qin Ran was able to hide in that shadow without being discovered by him.
Of course, what made him even more puzzled was why Qin Ran had two.
Self-righteous.
Die of self-righteousness.
The other party thought that he had all the information about Qin Ran, but he would never know that a person like Qin Ran would not even be able to sleep well if he didn't hide one or two hole cards.
Moreover, the other party ignores the time!
With the passage of time, Qin Ran was getting stronger almost every moment, and he was perfecting himself according to the established plan.
Qin Ran watched indifferently as the other party turned into white light and left.
He doesn't give an explanation to the enemy, but that doesn't mean he doesn't care about who the enemy is.
"Waiter II.?"
Qin Ran squinted at the words that appeared on the retina.
A very small number of points and skill points are not worth caring about at all.
Only that name attracted Qin Ran.
Qin Ran had a guess when he killed 'Waiter I.', and when Waiter II appeared, he perfected that guess.
"Sure enough, the so-called 'sin attendants' is not a person, but an organization!"
"A hierarchical and purposeful organization."
"And at this time, what they want is ......"
After Qin Ran sneered in his heart, he looked outside.
The black canopy of heaven disappeared, and the huge eyes naturally disappeared without a trace, and in the same way, those who had been muttering evil words a moment ago all turned into white light.
They themselves are dead.
It's just that he continues to 'live' with the special abilities or special items of Waiter II.
With the death of Waiter II., everything naturally returned to normal.
But this did not prevent Qin Ran from feeling distressed.
According to normal development, these should be his gains.
And now?
but it was reduced to nothing.
Qin Ran's gaze became cold.
Dare to snatch the loot from the miser, naturally he will not die.
However, before that, Qin Ran still needs to confirm one thing.
"Hope you don't let me down!"
With such a self-talk, Qin Ran disappeared into the shadows.
