Chapter 40: The Scapegoat
Zone E, Stove Lane.
Like the rest of the blocks in District E, the complex, disorderly buildings are even a little more suffocating.
As a result, very few people would want to come here.
This is true for both new and old students.
However, in the eyes of some of Teorit's higher-ups, this is different.
Because......
This is the residence of the Director of Area E, Ron Muls.
This old dean, who had been in the most critical situation in Area E several times, did not live in Area A with better conditions as others imagined.
It's in Zone E!
Moreover, it is still a small building that is slightly dilapidated.
There were no guards, no more surveillance probes, but the dark shadow approaching here was cautious, as if it were approaching the most terrifying place.
Almost every step is taken by the other party to calculate a few seconds, so that from the mouth of the alley to this dilapidated small building, the short distance of less than 300 meters makes the other party spend nearly an hour.
When standing in front of the small building, the other party wiped the sweat on his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.
He has passed through the most dangerous places.
The rest?
Nature is harvest time!
Cautious before parting, the other party swaggered into the small building as if he was the owner of this small building, and the other party was very familiar with this place, and after entering the small building, he walked directly to the second floor.
Squeak.
The old study door was pushed open, and the other party walked into the study, walked directly towards the bookshelf, and began to look for something on the shelf.
Soon, the other party found out.
With a look of surprise, the other party put what he found into his backpack, and then prepared to leave.
However, before leaving, the other party's gaze subconsciously swept over the desk.
When he saw the book in the center of the desk, the other person's figure immediately froze in place.
It was a rather worn book, and the cover was a little rotten, but the name of the book was still very clear-
"Guan Shilu"!
The three words written with a brush seem to have an infinite attraction, making the figure who intrudes here hesitate.
After this hesitation lasted for nearly a minute, the other party finally made a decision.
didn't touch the "Guan Shilu" on the desk, but grabbed his backpack, left the small building, and then, as before, began to leave the stove alley step by step carefully.
Call!
After leaving the furnace alley in the real sense, the other party let out a long breath, but, the next moment, a voice sounded.
"I'm curious what made you give up "Guan Shilu"?"
"Ahem, ahem...... How did you end up here?! ”
The sudden sound made the other party's breath stuck in his throat, and after coughing repeatedly, the other party looked at Qin Ran who gradually walked out of the shadows in disbelief.
"Of course you told me!"
"Professor Delton!"
Qin Ran said with a smile.
"I told you?"
"What a joke!"
"And Professor Delton is dead!"
The other party whispered.
"Really?"
"Do you dare to take your mask off?"
Qin Ran asked with an unchanged smile.
"If you know too much, you'll die!"
The other party did not take off his mask, and his voice became gloomy.
"I don't want to know too much, but who made your flaws appear in front of me all the time?"
Qin Ran pretended to sigh.
"Flaws?"
"If it weren't for you, where would the flaw come from!"
The other party's voice became colder and colder.
"Since my initial death, everything has been so perfect, not only to clear my suspicion, but also to be able to plot against Tyres, at least he will be seriously injured and lying in the hospital for more than half a year, plus Edberg, who was kidnapped by me a long time ago, Area E will be in chaos last night, and Dean Ron Hearts has to come forward."
"But your appearance disrupted my plan and forced me to make up for it."
Speaking of this, the other party couldn't help but snort coldly.
"But the more perfect the plan, the more troublesome it is to make up."
"I'm afraid you did everything you could to kidnap Professor Tells last night, right?"
"So, you can't do anything to me, a freshman who exposed "Guan Shilu" from the dark to the light, you can only choose the way to let others do it."
Qin Ran said.
"But their strength makes you suspicious!"
"Compared to being able to kill me with one blow and make Edberg lose contact, that kind of strength is too bad."
"Especially under the premise of one after another, after one or two failures, the third time when it should be taken seriously, I still sent my subordinates who were not enough to see."
The other party explained as if he was additive.
"That's one of those things."
"What really makes me suspicious is that everything is too coincidental!"
"Ruud just absconded, you contacted me, and then you were assassinated, it's really too much of a coincidence!"
"What's the coincidence?"
"You know that Rude knows the secret of the whereabouts of "Guan Shilu", he absconded, of course I want to find you!"
"What's more, he also took my research materials with him!"
"That's right!"
"All of this is reasonable!"
"Except for the fact that Ruud learned about the existence of "Guan Shilu" from your mouth!"
"If this is any assumption, can I guess that it was all your plan? Including what Ruud did secretly! Even, the people who are secretly staring at Rude are all your people! ”
The two questions and answers ended with Delton's silence.
"How do you know that Ruud learned about Guan Shilu from me?"
"I'm pretty sure there wasn't anyone else around when I revealed the news!"
"And in his communicative category, there is no such person as you!"
Delton asked again.
"Then did you ever think that Ruud still has strength that you didn't expect?"
"According to your plan, you should wait for a while and wait for a more mature time before you let Ruud do it, right?"
"Then, everything will die without proof."
Qin Ran didn't answer, but asked again and again.
Then, he changed his mind.
"However, Ruud's sudden absconding has disrupted your original plan and forced you to take a risk."
"The so-called perfect plan in your mouth is just a temporary idea you came up with."
"It's like when you saw me, you made up your mind to make me a scapegoat."
After speaking, Qin Ran took a step back slightly.
Laugh at!
The moment Qin Ran left the place, the ground melted, and a strong smell of grease came from there, and from there, a humanoid creature composed entirely of semi-congealed grease, which was 5 meters tall, crawled out of it and roared at Qin Ran.
"Of course, is there anything more suitable than you, an alien freshman?"
"Nope!"
"You're the most appropriate!"
"Otherwise, why would I be here talking nonsense with you!"
"Do you think I'm going to show off like you?"
Delton sneered.
"Show off?"
"I don't need anything like that!"
"What I need is ...... O scapegoat! ”
Qin Ran shook his head and looked at the small building in the furnace alley.
Delton seemed to think of something, but before he could figure out what it was—
Rumble!
In the explosion, the small building in Stove Alley was caught in flames.
The huge shock wave almost made Delton's footing unstable, but the scorching heat that made Delton feel even more panicked was blooming in front of his eyes.
