CHAPTER XXIII
The black figure was isolated in the secret room, and in the hole above his head, the night wind poured in.
The ends of the hair fly.
The placket hunts and hunts.
Only the eyes, cold as frost.
The sharp handle of the knife in the left hand rotated along the fingertips, and after the blade cut through a perfect circle, the tip of the knife pointed directly at the translucent bodies that looked like the dead, but were different.
Such a move seems to have angered these weirdos who are already eyeing each other.
Roar, roar!
In a low roar, these translucent figures rushed towards Qin Ran frantically.
"Be careful!"
Li Jiajia exclaimed.
But, immediately, Li Jiajia covered her mouth.
What did she see?
The translucent body like a tide not only did not drown the sudden intruder, but was cut by the intruder at great speed.
The other party is like the sharp knife.
Makes everyone shudder.
The cold light flashed, and the black shadow came.
After the wind howled, everything was gone.
Stabbing, chopping, chopping.
It was obviously an extremely simple trick, but in Qin Ran's hands, it became extremely magical.
A sharp knife in the left hand.
A long sword in the right hand.
With each attack, a translucent figure vanished.
From the left side of the chamber, all the way to the right side of the chamber.
Then, kill from the right side back to the left.
It's as natural as breathing and drinking water.
Li Jiajia looked at this scene dumbfounded.
Not knowing if it was an illusion, she noticed that the more the intruder fought, the easier it became, and at the same time, an inexplicable aura began to appear in the secret room.
That's where she longs for it.
It seems that as long as you go there, everything can become peaceful.
Involuntarily, Li Jiajia's translucent body floated there.
However, just as she was flying, a huge attraction appeared.
The attraction came very suddenly.
caught off guard, Li Jiajia had a flower in front of her.
When she came back to her senses again, Li Jiajia was stunned to find that she had appeared in the corridor of the school again, the security guard had already disappeared, and there were no wounds on her body.
"Is it a hallucination?"
Li Jiajia was stunned.
However, she immediately heard the sound of battle coming from underground.
"No!"
"Not a hallucination!"
"The black figure ......"
Thinking of this, Li Jiajia subconsciously wanted to stand up.
But as soon as he stood up, a feeling of dizziness appeared on Li Jiajia's body.
Thump!
Li Jiajia fell to the ground and fell into a coma.
Experiencing things that ordinary people do not experience will inevitably have to bear a corresponding price.
The soul is withdrawn from the body.
Naturally, some changes will occur.
Is it a blessing or a curse?
Who knows?
β¦β¦
Burst!
Another translucent body, pierced by the sharp knife in his hand, turned into nothingness.
A faint aura of distance appeared in the void.
Compared to normal souls, these translucent bodies are not considered to be the existence of the dead, and the aura of going to distant places seems to be much weaker, but to Qin Ran's expectations, the essence is much higher.
Compared with the 'fees' given to Qin Ran by those ordinary deceased, it was naturally a lot higher.
Moreover, there are a lot of these translucent figures.
There are so many that at a glance, it is densely packed.
On the premise that the quality and quantity were both higher, Qin Ran's attributes quickly broke through the seal again in turn.
The spiritual attribute is still B+.
But strength, agility, physique, and perception have all risen to the level of B-.
All this was somewhat beyond Qin Ran's expectations.
Just like the sharp knife he was holding in his hand at the moment.
[Name: Aka's Blade (Fragment)]
[Type: Weapon]
[Quality: Legendary]
[Attack: Powerful]
[Attributes: 1, Soul Hunting; 2. Deterrence; 3. Smokingγ
[Special Effect: Soul Eater]
[Requirements: None]
[Can I bring out this copy: No]
[Notes: This is one of the fragments of the Aka Blade, and although it is well used, that doesn't change the fact that it's just a fragment, and likewise, it doesn't change its horror!] γ
β¦β¦
[Soul Hunting: When the Aka's Blade stabs a soul being, it will deal an additional +1 damage to the opponent's soul]
[Deterrence: When making an attack posture in the face of a soul or an invisible creature, the target needs to make a judgment that his spirit is not lower than C, and those who fail to pass the judgment will be shocked for one second. γ
[Sucking: When inflicting soul damage to the target, the Aka Blade will suck the opponent's soul to repair itself, and at the same time replenish the physical strength of the knife wielder]
β¦β¦
[Soul Eater: The Aka Blade has requirements for the user, even a fragment should not be lower than the B-level spiritual attribute, otherwise the user will be confused by the Aka Blade]
β¦β¦
A Legendary item.
Or a fragment from an item.
Qin Ran could fully imagine what level this item would be if it was complete.
At least Tier IV!
Even, most likely, it is V. Rank!
But Qin Ran didn't have any idea of repairing this prop.
If it can't be brought out of the dungeon world, it is already destined to be a fragment of this powerful item, and it can only become a weapon for Qin Ran's temporary transition.
It is no different from [Sharp Standard Sword] [Godot's Chain].
Of course, compared to the [Sharp Sword] and [Godot's Chain], [Aka's Blade (Fragment)] is much more powerful.
The powerful level of attack, combined with [Shock] [Sucking], when facing these witch puppets, Qin Ran was simply in a no-man's land.
Just one second of shock was enough for Qin Ran to make several fatal attacks.
And smoking, Qin Ran's physical strength has been maintained in a state of near its peak.
Suddenly, these witch puppets were like cut tofu in front of Qin Ran, who was holding the [Aka's Blade (Fragment)], not only did they not have any defensive power, but they couldn't even fight back.
can only let the tireless Qin Ran, as if piercing and cutting.
Under such a premise, soon, the witch puppet was slaughtered.
With the appearance of the seemingly faint, but actually high-quality 'distant aura', the five major source forces in Qin Ran's body became active again.
However, there is no breakthrough attribute.
After the five major attributes stepped into the B level one after another, the energy required by Qin Ran also increased more and more.
Qin Ran was not dissatisfied with this.
On the contrary, the results in front of him were enough to make Qin Ran satisfied.
B+-level mental attributes and B-level strength, agility, physique, and perception were enough for him to deal with most of the troubles in front of him.
Of course, Qin Ran would not give up any opportunity to continue unblocking.
Therefore, after spending about 10 minutes more, after carefully searching the underground secret room and confirming that there was no gain, Qin Ran jumped to the ground with a sigh.
The entrance to this underground chamber is not inside the school, but in a residential building not far from the school, which is the main reason why Bane and other 'herdsmen' did not find it in the first place.
And another reason?
Yes, Ed. The king didn't disappear here at all.
The superior evil spirits have already investigated this place clearly.
With the drawing of the high-level evil spirit, coupled with the search just now, except for the crazy woman who was originally here, but was devoured by the [Aka's Blade (Fragment)], Qin Ran is the one who is most familiar with this place.
Ed. The king may have been here.
However, in the end, the other party immediately came here
Otherwise, there must be Ed among those witch puppets. King one.
Although that woman is crazy, she will not give up in the face of good materials.
For example: the girl just now.
Thinking of the girl just now, Qin Ran didn't frown.
He didn't want to judge the other person's behavior too much.
Maybe the other party has a last resort.
Or maybe the other party is just for the thrill of it.
But none of this is his business.
It's like he didn't intend to wake up the other party after he saw him unconscious.
Since you have chosen a path, you naturally need to endure the thorns and hardships brought by this path, rather than just enjoying the smooth road and glory.
Unless, your ancestors helped you forge the way.
Otherwise, you must understand the truth of giving first and then talking about returns.
Qin Ran walked out from the open gate.
At a glance, I saw Bane and the remaining herders standing in the doorway, with a shocked expression.
These herders were even more shocked than Bane.
Because, they had never really seen Qin Ran.
The Qin Ran they knew was Ed. As described in Wang's report: The child of an old friend who lived in seclusion in the mountains, entrusted this child to his only friend before his death.
This child learned many skills in the mountains that ordinary people can't reach.
In the same way, because I grew up in the mountains, I have some personality quirks.
In the whole report, except for the skills learned in the mountains, it is speculated that they may have eaten something special in the mountains to make their physical fitness a little stronger, and there is nothing that these herders care about.
After all, as herders, they have seen so many strange things and people.
Can......
Is that a little stronger?
Feel the breath coming from inside!
At least 20 of the dead have been overtaken in a short period of time!
And in such a short period of time, such a number of dead people were exceeded, and this speed, none of the people present could match.
Skill?
They have seen it with their own eyes, as if they have been tempered thousands of times, and each move is extremely concise and deadly.
And that instinct that looks like a beast when chasing an enemy......
It's just terrible.
None of the herders present wanted to be targeted by such a fellow, and once they did, think about the other person's speed, skill, intuition, and most importantly, the formality of attack, every herder had a numb scalp, and they didn't want to be hit in the face by a lit gas canister.
Damn Ed. King!
Must have wanted to see our jokes!
Coincidentally, this thought arose in the hearts of all herders.
Then, the herdsmen's eyes turned to Bane at the same time.
Among the people present, only Bane had ever come into contact with Qin Ran.
Naturally, it would be nice to be approached by Bane again.
Driven by everyone's gaze, Bane slowly walked in front of Qin Ran.
"Find Ed. The king? β
Thinking of his former oath, after laughing dryly twice, Bane asked with a pretended seriousness.
In Bane's opinion, the reason why Qin Ran suddenly entered here must be for Ed. The king came.
"Nope."
"He's not here."
"There is a witch here, but the woman is crazy, and she has no idea at all except for the constant killing."
"The reason why you were able to find traces of witchcraft is also because the other party didn't want to hide it at all."
Qin Ran shook his head.
"Killing?"
"Those high school girls and some of the most recent missing people around?"
Bane sighed.
"Not recently!"
"Among the hundreds of witch puppets I saw there, many of them were dressed in styles from ten years ago."
Qin Ran corrected the mistakes in the other party's words.
"Witch puppet?!"
"How much?"
Bane first exclaimed, and then, looking at Qin Ran with wide eyes, his lips trembled.
Witch puppets are surprising enough.
Now, that amount literally made Bane's heart stop beating.
The surrounding herdsmen instantly surrounded them.
Every herdsman looked at Qin Ran in a daze.
"At least a hundred!"
"There will be more, not less!"
"When I'm fighting, I don't have the habit of counting the number of enemies."
Qin Ran said as he walked out.
He's been gone long enough.
Mimosa, although it is protected by a high-level evil spirit, but at this moment, the strength of the high-level evil spirit, that is, the level of dealing with an ordinary person, once it encounters trouble, it will be really troublesome.
Therefore, even if the higher-ranking evil spirit did not raise the alarm, Qin Ran had to go back quickly.
Facing Qin Ran who was coming, Bane, who was in shock, subconsciously got out of the way, and the surrounding herdsmen did not stop him.
They were all taken aback by the news.
They were only judging by the concentration of the 'distant' aura, Qin Ran had encountered quite a few 'dead' here.
But they didn't expect it to be a witch puppet!
Or hundreds of witch puppets!
Seeing Qin Ran's figure disappear into the night, a herder suddenly burst out with a wry smile.
"Is this a one-hundred?"
"Count!"
"Moreover, it's not an ordinary one-hundred."
"Those are witch puppets that are much more powerful than the average deceased."
The herdsman on the side reminded everyone.
"Is it possible?"
Suddenly, Bane, who had been silent for a moment, burst into words.
It's not that I don't believe Qin Ran.
It's that the news is so shocking.
It's incredible!
"Just look at it!"
The herdsman, who had just nodded, said and walked directly to the school building.
Although the witch golem will become invisible when it dies, the herder will still be able to find some traces.
Looking at the colleagues who walked into the school building, the remaining herders swarmed in.
Bane is no exception.
They all want to know the answer.
And soon, the answer appeared in front of them.
When the herders had determined the number of the witch puppets, they all fell silent.
After a full ten seconds, Bane said with a sigh.
"B-grade?"
Hearing this level, the herdsmen present all trembled when they heard this level.
They all know what this level means.
"B-class!"
"B-grade like a fake!"
The herdsman who had led the way in nodded vigorously, and then his eyes suddenly turned to Bane, a plea in his eyes.
Not only this herdsman, but the rest of the herdsmen also looked to Bane.
There was also a request in his eyes.
"No way!"
"I can't!"
"You should find Eddard. King, let him persuade that Luo Yan. β
"I'm not sure at all about my words."
Bane, who quickly guessed what his colleague wanted to do, immediately waved his hand again and again.
How could he possibly go to that restaurant again.
It's not just about dealing with that annoying stinky imp.
I also want to recall that unbearable past.
How could he possibly go?
No kidding.
There's no way he's going to go.
β¦β¦
The next day, the moment the restaurant opened, Bane knocked on the door with a smile on his face.
