Chapter 53: Fishing
What happened?
Lucan asked himself from the bottom of his mind.
He only remembered that he strode towards the tall building, and then, suddenly, he was attacked, and he was beaten out without even reacting.
Even, he didn't even see the people who attacked him clearly.
No!
It should be impossible to confirm whether the other party is a person or not!
Call!
Taking a deep breath, the pain and the smell of blood didn't hold the man from the Northland back.
On the contrary, he became more and more aggressive.
Roar!
With a low roar, the muscles of the man from the Northland began to rise, and the already burly other party became stronger and stronger at this time.
Nothing is careful.
Without observing, Lukan was short and rushed towards the office building like a charging rugby player.
Bang!
There was another muffled thud.
Lucan flew back upside down at a faster speed than he had charged.
And, this time, Lucan was much more miserable than before.
Not only was he vomiting blood, but under Qin Ran's gaze, the bones in his chest obviously collapsed, but as if he didn't feel pain, Lu Kan stood up and roared angrily in the direction of the tall building.
Roars followed one after another.
One rang after another.
In the end, it's like a lion roaring and a bear howling.
And every roar made Lucan's muscles stronger, his body bigger, and his hair thicker.
By the time the roar had stopped, Lukan had turned into an upright bear man who was more than three meters tall.
The minions are sharp and the fur is shiny.
Lukan landed on all fours and rushed towards the building again.
With each step, there was a slight vibration on the ground.
When the dense footsteps continued, Lucan was like a heavy truck with the gas pedal dead.
And then......
Bang!
Lucan, who looked like a bear man, was knocked away again.
This time, it's farther than the previous two.
It flew a full 3 or 40 meters and knocked down several tall trees in the green belt before stopping.
An earthy yellow glow ripples across the bearskin.
Lucan was not hurt in the slightest, but the dizziness caused by the impact made Lucan shake his head very uncomfortably.
Seconds later, Lucan stood up.
The size is rapidly shrinking.
When he changed into human form again, he took a heavy look at the building and turned away.
The people of the Northland are not afraid of death, but that does not mean that they will seek death, especially this meaningless death.
Lucan knew exactly what his mission was.
He can't die without completing this mission.
Lukan came and went suddenly, and in addition to leaving a little mess, he also attracted the attention of enough people.
At least in Qin Ran's perception, several people who had entered the mall after him were ready to move after Lukan left.
About two or three minutes later, a young man couldn't help but jump out.
The other party has an ordinary appearance, slightly longer hands and feet, wears a black coat, and carries a bag.
When he walked to the front of the office building, he didn't go straight in like Lucan, but found a hook from his backpack.
Woo, woo!
The hook quickly spun in the opponent's hand, and then it was thrown and hooked accurately on the outer wall of the office building.
The other party tugged hard, and after confirming that it was correct, it was like rock climbing, pulling the rope at one end of the hook rope and rushing upward.
In just a few leaps, the other party came to an open window, a short body, and the other party jumped in.
And then—
"Ahh
A rapid scream came to an abrupt end.
The wind, blowing.
The rope at one end of the hook was still fluttering in the wind.
But the young people who saw this scene felt a chill in their hearts.
What's in this office building?
Lucan went in and was beaten out.
And the one who climbed into it......
Although the young people are not very old, they are not all rookies, and being able to participate in the 'Winter Night War' is enough to show that they are excellent.
So, they've seen a lot of things.
For example: screams before death.
It's like the scream that stopped abruptly just now.
If you want to understand the city's topography, there are other ways to do it, such as maps, etc., so there's no need to venture out!
When such thoughts appeared in the hearts of the few young people who were guarding the surroundings, they silently retreated to the periphery.
And as these people retreated, more people who were hidden around also left.
Before you know it, this office building has become a 'forbidden place' for young people.
Qin Ran stayed in the corner of the café and did not leave.
His eyes were on the office building.
Or rather, the window through which the climber enters.
About ten minutes later, a figure appeared at the window.
Rock climbers!
The climber, who was thought to be dead, jumped out of the window with his backpack on his back and a box in his hand.
The other party grabbed the rope and hurried down.
Behind the other party, there was an angry roar.
The roar lingered at the window, not for a long time.
The climber landed on his feet, shook his hand, and the hook fell into his hand, and he raised his head and smiled smugly in the direction of the window.
Naturally, Palladia has the qualifications to be proud.
Just a few tricks, he deceived a large group of competitors, how could he have no choice.
Not to mention, he also had an unexpected bonus.
Eager to check her gains, Palladia knew that her most important thing at the moment was to find a place to hide.
He looked left and right.
When she saw the café in the mall opposite, Palladia's eyes lit up.
With the box in hand, Palladia rushed towards the café.
Pushing open the door to the outside, Palladia, who had successfully entered the café, breathed a sigh of relief, and then, with a sudden pain in her neck and black eyes, she didn't know anything.
Qin Ran carried the fainted other party, walked to the back of the bar, and after casually leaving the other party on the ground, he checked the box in his hand.
Wooden, gilded.
It looks like a jewelry box.
There was no lock, and after Qin Ran checked it, he opened it directly.
Inside is a potion.
The 20 ml test tube has a bright blue-green liquid and is engraved with secret text on the outside of the test tube.
[Name:Repellent]
【Type: Elixir】
[Quality: Magic]
【Attribute:Expulsion】
[Special Effect: None]
[Requirements: None]
[Can I bring out this copy: No]
[Note: Expelling potions were first used by witchers to protect themselves when resting]
……
[Expulsion: It can effectively keep the spirits and evil spirits away from the range of the potion, and 1 standard unit can last for 12 hours.] 】
……
"Special rewards?"
Qin Ran looked at the potion in his hand and thought to himself.
Although it was only a slightly better potion than the ordinary, with the appearance of this potion, Qin Ran had a more intuitive understanding of this 'Winter Night Battle'.
Obviously, there are no shortage of so-called 'special rewards'.
It's just that when obtaining, it's a little difficult.
Was this deliberately the case when it was delivered?
Still is......
After dropping it out at will, it was collected by the 'guys' here?
Based on the information gathered, Qin Ran was more inclined to the latter.
Because, according to Whitrek, the adult who presided over the 'Winter Night War' knew everything, but the other party's justice and fairness made the other party absolutely not reveal.
Although Qin Ran has always had doubts about this, one thing Qin Ran can be sure of now.
That is, in this city, as long as there is a dangerous place, there will naturally be good things!
Thinking of this, Qin Ran put the potion into his arms and looked at the unconscious climber.
How much strength he used, Qin Ran was very clear.
According to the skills shown by the other party, at this time, it should be awake.
One second.
Two seconds.
Three seconds.
Finally, under Qin Ran's gaze, the rock climber opened his eyes very unnaturally.
"Hello, Luo Yan."
"I'm Palladia, from the Gem District of the South."
Palladia looked at Qin Ran in front of her, and her heart beat a drum.
He didn't expect that there were still people who hadn't left, and had been quietly hiding here.
Palladia thinks that her imitation is very good, and there is a vision barrier where no one can see the real situation.
Coupled with Lucan's previous brainless cooperation, he thinks everything he does is seamless.
But Qin Ran's appearance told him that he still had flaws.
However, Palladia did not dare to ask him where his flaws were, just as he did not say a word when he saw his chest open and its contents disappeared.
You know, this isn't the outside!
This is the 'Winter Night War'!
The 'Winter Night War' that does not prohibit fighting and killing!
Although most herders still choose to live in peace.
But that's just in ordinary situations.
What special circumstances arise in the event of a situation......
Palladia, who is in the Southern Gem District, does not rely on the kindness of others for her safety, especially when the other party can knock him unconscious with a random blow but does not kill him, Palladia knows what to do.
Tell the other person what they want to know.
But hide some key points.
Palladia, who has been in the gem district for many years, almost didn't think about it, and instinctively made a choice.
"I entered the office building before, and it was pitch black, and I didn't have to go far to find this box in the corner of the hallway."
"When I picked up the box, I guess some kind of prohibition was triggered, and monsters began to pop up in the hallway."
"It's about the same size as a dog, but it has no skin, it's the kind of skin that has been peeled and bloody, only sharp teeth on the head, no eyes, nose, ears and so on, I can't see clearly."
"They're terribly afraid of light, though."
"The light of a flashlight can scare them away."
Palladia spoke freely about what happened to her in the office building.
Qin Ran looked at the other party without saying a word.
The oppressive gaze made Palladia's head start to sweat.
"I swear!"
"What I said is true!"
"If what I just said is half false, let me die a bad death!"
After Palladia's swear was finished, her heart became more and more uneasy.
Because, Qin Ran in front of him still didn't have any expression.
There is no intention of speaking.
If it weren't for the growing sense of oppression in her gaze, Palladia would have even thought that the other party was a statue that didn't move.
Damn it!
You're not dumb!
Say a word!
You just look at me and don't speak, I'm so panicked!
I didn't lie to you!
I'm telling the truth!
It's just a little bit hidden!
What's the big deal?
In the bottom of her heart, Palladia almost began to pray.
And this kind of prayer seemed to work, Qin Ran, who was motionless, finally moved, he walked to Palladia's side, grabbed the back of the other party's neck, and walked straight out of the other direction.
Palladia, who was picked up, was stunned.
He didn't know what Qin Ran wanted to do at first, but looking at the office building that was getting closer and closer, Palladia's face instantly turned green.
He guessed what Qin Ran was going to do.
"Luo Yan, what do you want to do?"
"I was wrong!"
"I'll admit I just hid a little bit, but there's another kind of monster in it besides that puppy look...... Ahhh ”
Before Palladia's words were finished, he was thrown towards the office building by Qin Ran.
A scream rang out of Palladia's mouth.
He looked at the office building door that was getting closer and closer, and his whole heart was full of despair.
Of course he knew what was inside.
It was only a quick glance, but it was enough for him to see what kind of monster was inside.
It's definitely not something he'll be able to contend with.
Otherwise, how could it be that those monsters who were afraid of light and seemed to be dogs could chase him and run away in a hurry.
Finished!
Facing the approaching door, Palladia closed her eyes.
But just as Palladia was about to meet death, there was a sudden pull on him.
Palladia's body in mid-air returned to Qin Ran's hands again, and he lowered his head to look at the hook that hung on his trouser belt at some point, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"I knew you were just scaring me!"
"Luo Yan, in order to clear up the misunderstanding between us, I think we need to have a good talk...... Ahhh ”
Before Palladia's words could be finished, screams rang out again.
The other party was thrown out by Qin Ran again.
Or the direction of the gate.
Or just as he was about to enter, he was dragged back.
Then, it was thrown out again.
Palladia, who was not a stupid person, guessed what Qin Ran was going to do when he was thrown out for the second time-
Catch dragonflies!
As a child, Palladia often wielded rope to do this, and he was very happy at that time, and even thought that his good hooking skills were cultivated at that time.
But that doesn't mean Palladia is willing to be bait!
It's scary!
Dragonfly fishing is a nostalgic childhood sport.
But only if you don't become bait.
Feeling the increasingly irritable atmosphere in the gate, Palladia, as a 'bait', wanted to cry without tears.
He knew that the monster couldn't help it!
He's getting closer to death!
No!
It's not getting closer!
It's about brushing shoulders with death again and again!
This terrible feeling made Palladia, who thought she was mentally tough, also on the verge of collapse after several times.
He first begged Qin Ran for mercy, but after it was useless, he began to scold Qin Ran again.
Then, begging for mercy and scolding again.
Just as Qin Ran threw Palladia out again and again, Palladia also repeated the cycle again and again.
Qin Ran turned a deaf ear to the sounds of begging for mercy and scolding.
When the person in front of him tried to deceive him, he decided to do it.
What's more, at this moment, Qin Ran's attention began to be attracted by the aura that appeared inside the door of the office building.
Really......
It's different.
Feeling the aura that became hurried and angry, the corners of Qin Ran's mouth curled slightly, everything was as he expected: the fear of sunlight made the monsters in the office building silently guard their own territory, expelling people who might cause trouble.
However, this kind of 'conformism' is not static.
For Lucan, who did not take anything, the other party chose to be patient.
And for Palladia, who took away things, he will definitely not give up easily, let alone be provoked by Palladia again and again.
Even if they are afraid of the light, how many times can the other party endure it?
In fact, the fact that the other party was able to endure it until now and not making a move had already made Qin Ran reassess the danger of the other party.
Has an instinct similar to that of a beast.
But there is also a certain amount of wisdom.
Extremely afraid of the sun.
Qin Ran, who had made a series of evaluations in his heart, threw Palladia out of his hand again.
"Ahhhh
Palladia, who was in tears in the air, screamed again.
This time was far more miserable than any other
Because, a huge figure has rushed out of the gate.
