Chapter VII: Appearance

Sting!

The sharp sword qi cut through the oncoming frozen gas, as if the sound of the cloth was tearing, the frozen qi was torn apart, but it did not disappear.

Instead, they turned into a cloud of frost, enveloping everything within a 5-meter radius.

Crunch.

The ground quickly condensed into a patch of frost.

The Inspector dodged out of the frost, and he looked down at the frost marks on the sleeve of his left robe and couldn't help but laugh.

"Ikrt, you're finally not so rigid."

"It's still a little slow, though."

The Inspector raised his right hand holding the sword, and on the cold sword, a touch of bright red was slowly fading, as if it had been swallowed by the sword itself.

The long sword, which was already sharp, made a buzzing sound at this time.

A tingling sensation appeared on the side of Ickert's lower abdomen.

Burst!

A large amount of blood spurted out.

Ickert raised his hand to block the wound, and immediately, a layer of frost covered it, freezing the wound.

Then, the blood-stained palms were filled with freezing air.

Not only was the speed of the freezing gas spreading more than doubled, but the range of the spread was also expanded several times, and the patrol envoy with the sword was suddenly enveloped in it.

"I just said you're not so rigid."

"Looks like I was wrong."

"You've started to play tricks again by sacrificing the power of Frozen Gas in pursuit of speed and range, but unfortunately, you forgot, there is no powerful Frozen Air...... For me, it's really vulnerable! ”

In the pervasive freezing air, the sword-wielding patrol kept his smile unchanged, and a rapid charge came to Eckert, raising his hand to be a sword.

The sharp cutting sensation appeared again, and before the blade touched Ikt, the latter's body had already appeared with blood marks.

But the sword did not fall on Eckert's body.

Boom!

As if there was a metal clash of sounds, a blood-stained ice sword stood in front of the long sword.

The ice sword that emerged from Eckert's palm steadily blocked the sword-wielding Patrol's slash.

"Hey, have you developed a new trick?"

"Not bad!"

The sword-wielding inspector was stunned for a moment, and then praised him.

"Better is yet to come!"

Eckert, who had been silent, said coldly.

As soon as the words fell, wisps of frozen air spread out from the ice sword, freezing not only the sword-wielding patrol's long sword, but also the sword-wielding patrol's palm.

Moreover, the freezing air also spread to the whole body of the sword-wielding patrol.

"Worthy of praise!"

"That's how you should be flexible with your abilities."

The sword-wielding patrol envoy nodded again and again, as if an elder praised his junior.

However, such an attitude stimulated Ickert.

"Shut up!"

With a low roar, a brand-new ice sword appeared in Eckert's other hand, aiming it at the sword-wielding patrol's throat.

But just as Ickert's ice sword was still a punch away from the sword-wielding patrol, the other party let out a sigh.

"It seems that you still can't face up to your past."

Airplanes!

With a sigh, the frozen sword hummed violently.

In an instant, all the frozen frost was shattered, and the blood-stained ice sword that clashed with the long sword broke into several pieces and fell to the ground.

Falling to the ground was accompanied by the owner of the Ice Sword: Eckert.

Thump!

There was almost no fancy, and the shocked Ickert fell heavily to the ground, not to mention the caliber of the wound on the side of his lower abdomen, and the broken tip of the ice sword was even more sideways to his face, inserting into the concrete ground in front of him.

Click!

In the crisp sound of impact, Ickert, who wanted to get up and fight back, trembled all over.

Looking at the fragments of the ice sword that were close at hand, Eckert, who was not a fool, immediately reacted, he raised his head, gritted his teeth, and his voice squeezed out from between his teeth: "Are you sympathizing with me?" ”

"Nope."

"It's just that I didn't control ...... for a while"

Before the sword-wielding inspector could finish his words, his voice stopped abruptly, and he appeared in front of Ickert in a flash, and the long sword in his hand stabbed straight down.

Eckert was stunned.

He didn't expect death to come so suddenly.

Then, Eckert closed his eyes.

When he made his choice, he knew that he had chosen a path that was bound to be filled with death and crisis, and now death was nothing.

At least, he's done enough.

However, the imaginary death did not come.

Instead, a touch of warmth appeared on his face.

Eckert opened his eyes again.

The sword-wielding patrolman's sword pierced the shadow beneath him, and the shadow that should have been a dead thing twisted under the sword.

The shadow belonging to the sword-wielding patrol envoy pierced the sword-wielding patrol's chest with a sword, and the warm feeling on his face was the blood that spurted out.

"Lee?!"

Eckert exclaimed, and the ice sword stabbed at the shadow.

However, the shadow is more cunning than expected.

After shrinking into a ball suddenly, it returned to its original appearance, and on the corner of the street not far away, a tightly wrapped figure walked out.

And beside the figure, Arikino was smirking out.

"Inspector, Lee."

"One of the leaders of the 'rebels', Eckert."

"Isn't that a surprise?"

Arikino said as he walked.

It wasn't until he came to a range of about 10 meters in front of the two men that Arikino stopped, which was his carefully calculated 'safe position'.

"Accidents, there are some."

"I didn't expect you guy to have foreign aid."

Although the sword-wielding patrol envoy was seriously injured, he still gave people a grinning feeling.

"Traitor!"

Compared to the sword-wielding patrolman, Eckert is much more direct.

"Traitor?"

"I didn't betray you naΓ―ve fools!"

"After all, I never really wanted to join you!"

"You're just pawns I'm using."

Arikino shook his finger at Ickert and said in a high-minded tone, and then, as he touched his cheek, his face distorted by the system, and his voice became even more vicious.

"That was a real pain just now!"

"I wouldn't mind, though."

"Because, as compensation, I'll chop off your limbs!"

"Your Excellency, please ......"

With that, Arikino turned around and prepared to ask his collaborator for help, he would not be in danger himself.

But the moment Arikino turned around, he froze in place.

The collaborator he regards as the most relied on is being carried in his hands at this time.

And that person......

There is no need for more identification, the black crow feathers are so easy to recognize.

2567!

Without any hesitation, Arikino turned and ran.

At this time, Arikino obviously used some kind of prop, and burst out with a speed unimaginable to ordinary people, like a streamer, and instantly became a small dot.

And Qin Ran didn't seem to care about the other party's departure, but instead set his eyes on the sword-wielding patrol envoy and Ickert in front of him.

Facing Qin Ran's gaze, he had always been calm and composed, and even if he was seriously injured, he could laugh at the sword-wielding patrol, but he couldn't laugh anymore.

Because, this sword-wielding inspector could clearly feel the aura coming from Qin Ran's body.

That aura brought boundless pressure, not only making the sword-wielding patrol envoy tremble all over, but also causing the opponent's mental defense to suffer an unprecedented impact.

The hand holding the sword began to tremble, and the blade of the sword kept moaning.

The sword-wielding patrol envoy knew that he had to say something, otherwise under Qin Ran's coercion, the core system he had managed to complete would collapse.

Subconsciously, the sword-wielding patrol wanted to say something, but Ickert on the side spoke first.

Of course, Eckert recognized Qin Ran.

also knew Qin Ran's strength.

But Ickert was the least tolerant of traitors.

Therefore, Ickert gritted his teeth and shouted.

"Your Excellency 2567, he is running ......"

Bang!

The shouts were muffled by thunder, and under the clear sky, a thunderbolt slashed down and directly swallowed Ariquino, who ran away.

Ashes.

In the flash of thunder, Eckert's eyes widened unconsciously.

He was both surprised by Qin Ran's strength and the ability that Qin Ran showed at this moment.

Thunder?!

Shouldn't it be a flame?

You must know that in addition to the 'Sword of Dawn', Qin Ran has titles like 'King of Fire' and 'Demon of Fire' in the huge city.

But, thunder and lightning?

But no!

Newly acquired abilities?

There were naturally some speculations in his heart, but before Ickert could think more, he felt that his body was sinking, and Qin Ran was looking at him.

It didn't take any real observation to know what was going on.

Especially with the change of Qin Ran's gaze, Ickert could feel that the sense of oppression in his body was changing.

Very bad kind.

Almost as if it were a blessing to the heart, Ickert immediately spoke: "I am a member of the 'Guardians' hostile organization 'Rebels', and I have a way to remove the hidden danger of the 'Witch's Gift'. ”

As soon as the words fell, Ickert felt the sense of oppression on his body disappear in an instant.

Slightly relieved, Eckert involuntarily looked at the sword-wielding patrolman.

He wanted to see how the strongest foe he had ever thought would be handled.

Smile.

Aside from a wry smile, the sword-wielding patrol had no other thoughts.

Although he didn't perceive the killing intent in the man in front of him, the pressure was getting bigger and bigger, and it was obvious that if the man in front of him wanted to kill him, he really didn't have the ability to resist at all.

This feeling is really terrible.

Then came something even worse.

A pact appeared in front of the sword-wielding patrolman.

"No!"

"I won't...... Okay, I promised. ”

Instinctively, the sword-wielding patrol will refuse.

But after sensing the murderous aura in the aura of the man in front of him, the sword-wielding patrol envoy immediately changed his attitude.

Can something worse than death?

Qin Ran took the contract.

It clearly reads:

On the premise of not violating the previous contract, do your best to help 2567 once, and there must be no deception and lies during the period.

- Lee

……

Looking at the name on the contract, he nodded with satisfaction.

Without figuring out the true side of the 'Witch's Gift', he easily doesn't want to touch any player with the 'Witch's Gift', but that doesn't mean he will still be presumptuous by the other party.

He won't just kill the other party.

But there are too many ways to want a person to die.

Especially in huge cities, there are countless of them.

For example: Seriously injuring the other person and giving it to someone else to deal with.

According to the 'gain' rules of huge cities, many people are happy to do it.

Even, Qin Ran was sure that he would let Eckert next to him do it directly.

The relationship between the two is complicated.

In the previous battle, the sword-wielding patrol made him merciful everywhere, and Ickert was unrelenting, coupled with Ickert's identity, Qin Ran could probably guess what was going on.

But in this regard, Qin Ran was not more interested.

He wanted to know what to do with the 'witch's gift'.

Similarly, a deed was handed to Eckert.

Scanning the contents of the contract, Ickert did not hesitate to write down his name.

Not only because of the content of the contract, which he had just promised Qin Ran, but also because of the exemplary role of the sword-wielding patrol envoy.

Just after seeing the sword-wielding patrol make an instant compromise, Ickert's mood was complicated.

There is a kind of contempt, and there is

There is a complex sense of loss.

He couldn't say what it was, but it made him completely free of psychological burden.

"I'll go find you."

After Qin Ran finished saying this, he turned around and left.

After watching Qin Ran's figure disappear completely, Eckert stood up, lowered his head and looked at a sword-wielding inspector, didn't say anything, turned around and left.

As for killing each other while they are taking advantage of each other?

Not to mention that the other party was seriously injured in order to save him, and Ickert's belief alone would never allow him to do such a thing.

"Stereotypical guy!"

Looking at Ickert in the distance, the sword-wielding inspector got up from the ground, feeling his injuries, and thinking about the contract he had just signed, the sword-wielding inspector couldn't help but mutter.

"It's a big problem."

"I hope I can get through the trick, or I'll ......"

With the thought in his heart, the sword-wielding patrol made a limp towards the dome clock tower.

And at this time, Qin Ran was already close to Arikino's room.

The other party's room was not far from the Clock Tower in a straight line, only two blocks, but it was hard to find, hidden in the middle of an alley.

"Hope you don't let me down!"

Qin Ran muttered to himself, and his gaze once again swept over the information prompt that he would get 1500 points and 2 skill points after killing Arikino.

The number of points and skill points that were far less than expected, as well as the other party's continuous hunting and killing of others, made Qin Ran have some guesses in his heart.

And this is the time to validate your inner thoughts.

Click!

When Qin Ran put his hand on the door, the door immediately opened slowly, and there was even an echo of the door opening in the room.

Qin Ran stepped into it.

Immediately, a large room the size of a football field appeared in front of him.

In this huge room, all around are empty, except for a stone pillar in the middle of the room, which is more than a person high, the thickness of a bucket, and the whole body is pitch black.

On this stone pillar, there are many ghost-faced portraits with sharp teeth and sharp mouths.

Looking at this pillar and perceiving the hidden aura in it, the corners of Qin Ran's mouth curled.

He knew he was going to have a lot to gain this time.

And just as Qin Ran was about to check the information of the stone pillar in detail, there was a throbbing from the high-level evil spirit through the contract.

It, hoping to get this stone pillar.
