Chapter 14: Spoils of War
The man who didn't expect to attack behind him was smashed to the ground by a solid brick.
Buckled on the ground like a prop of a bowl, the moment he lost the man's control, in an instant, cracks appeared, but more importantly, with the appearance of these cracks, the man who fainted to the ground suddenly had convulsions, and one after another illusory souls appeared beside the man.
There are five girls who disappeared before, and gangsters who were killed by Sheriff Teddy, and more strange souls.
They looked at the man who had fallen to the ground with resentment.
The superior demon took a step back with great interest.
Suddenly, as if they had lost their last restraints, these deceased rushed madly towards the man who fell to the ground, and just devoured the man alive.
It's not a description.
Rather, it is eaten alive in the true sense of the word.
The man woke up in pain and tried to scream, but Andy bit his throat with one bite.
As the first victim of a disappearance, Andy was tortured far more than anyone else.
Pain is the only way to gain strength.
In the witch school, there is such a famous saying.
Although not everyone agrees, the man in front of him undoubtedly approves.
Therefore, Andy's pain is far beyond what others imagined.
Naturally, the hatred for this man is far beyond imagination.
Several other girls were similar.
In fact, these five girls have become the main force to tear the men, and those gangsters and strange souls can only assist on the side.
Dozens of hands tore at the man's flesh and blood.
In less than ten seconds, the man was a bloodied skeleton.
And a few seconds later, the man didn't even have any bones left.
The souls that had chewed the man's bones stood up one by one and fell out of thin air in front of the door of the 'Ye no Restaurant'.
Squeak.
The door opened.
Qin Ran walked out with a mimosa on his back.
A group of nearly twenty souls bowed to Qin Ran and thanked him.
The next moment, they turned into fireflies and flew into the distance.
Suddenly, the five major source forces in Qin Ran's body began a new round of growth.
Unlike in the past, this time the growth seems to have reached a quantitative change.
[Spiritual attribute breaks through a layer of seal, d→d+]
……
The increase in spiritual attributes made Qin Ran's brain replenish a cool feeling, as if he had slept well, not only refreshed his mind, but also full of energy.
At the same time, Qin Ran flipped his fingers, and a [Tongdu Coin] appeared in the palm of his hand.
The next moment, after a slight scorching with a lighter, an invisible force escaped from the [Tongdu Money], and the breath of the soul quickly dissipated.
The unsealing of strength, speculation was confirmed, and it did not make Qin Ran dizzy.
He knew very well that his current strength was not enough to deal with a truly powerful existence.
And the distant breath of twenty souls is very likely to attract the dead who are giving him a headache at this moment.
Before the strength was further unsealed, Qin Ran didn't want to face that level of the dead, especially if there were outsiders around him.
Qin Ran turned around and looked at Sheriff Teddy.
"That was ...... just now"
The scene of the soul going away, Sheriff Teddy also saw it.
There's no doubt that Sheriff Teddy has taken another hit.
"Went where they were supposed to be."
"What are you going to do?"
After Qin Ran answered, he pointed to the restaurant.
Despite the mess, there are no corpses, which is naturally good news for Sheriff Teddy.
A corpse in one place, and a few bullets missing, those are really two different things.
Even if those corpses are not good people, it is the same.
"I ...... I'll look at it. ”
Sheriff Teddy instinctively wanted to say that he would report truthfully, but when he thought of his experience just now, he immediately smiled bitterly.
"Good luck."
Qin Ran said, turning sideways.
The meaning couldn't be more obvious.
Sheriff Teddy smiled bitterly again, and he carefully placed the drunken woman on the floor of the restaurant, wiped the filth from his face with his coat, and walked out slowly.
Qin Ran watched Sheriff Teddy disappear into the night, turned around and returned to the restaurant, and after locking the door again, he released the rope on his body.
"Let's go upstairs and have a look."
The rope was loosened, but Qin Ran did not let go of the mimosa.
He wasn't sure if there was really no danger anymore.
Therefore, Qin Ran took Mimosa's hand and walked to the roof.
"Boss, everything is as you expected."
The upper evil spirit standing on the top of the building saw Qin Ran coming up, and immediately said flatteringly.
"Hmm."
"Continue to keep an eye on the surroundings."
Qin Ran nodded and said.
"As you wish."
After the superior evil spirit bowed, it disappeared in place, while Qin Ran walked towards the place where the man was devoured by the souls.
Of course, it's not mourning each other.
Instead, go and check what the other person left behind.
Or rather, check your own loot.
A total of three loot.
Among them, two are very eye-catching.
The first was the bowl that seemed to be clasped, and the second was a long, slender bracelet-like chain.
[Name: House of Wraiths (Damaged)]
[Type: Sundries]
[Quality: Rare]
[Attack: None]
[Defense: None]
[Attributes: 1, Illusion; 2. Control]
[Special Effect: None]
[Requirements: Mental Power E+, Mysterious Knowledge (Witch Gu Mastery)]
[Can I bring out this copy: No]
[Note: This is a witchcraft that has been passed down to a certain school, and it has already gotten a glimpse of the way (note: the level of mysterious knowledge you have, you can't further understand the relevant knowledge)]
……
[Illusion: Consume a certain amount of materials and your own blood to create an almost real illusion (the reality of the illusion needs to rely on the quality of the material and your own blood)]
[Control: Extract the soul that kills people, and put it into the house of resentful spirits to serve the owner, the more torture you suffer before death, the stronger the soul becomes, and those who die directly in the illusion can be directly manipulated, but the strength will not change, and the level in front of you will be maintained (Note: A spiritual judgment is required for each use, and if the spiritual judgment fails, it will suffer from the backlash of the controlled soul, and the judgment changes with the number of souls, strength and weakness)]
……
[Name: Godot's Chain]
[Type: Jewelry]
[Quality: Rare]
[Attack: Average]
[Defense: Average]
[Attributes: 1, Volley; 2. Winding】
[Special Effect: Mimicry]
[Need: Mental Power D]
[Can I bring out this copy: No]
[Note: Godot is a mystic master who is good at alchemy and witchcraft, and his favorite thing is to combine the two to study, extracting souls from the bodies of tortured people to make 'gold', which is his most famous theory, just like the Godot Chain he made - this is not the first Godot Chain made by Godot himself, but was made by the apprentices of the Godot school later]
……
[Volley: The volley of Godot's chain will not only cause damage to the real body, but also cause additional level +1 damage to the soul, 2 times/day]
[Bondage: Lock a target creature with a radius of no more than 25 meters, bind it, the target needs to be judged by strength E, spirit E+, determined that if you fail once, you will be bound, and if you fail twice, you will suffer a stronger level of soul impact, and be bound, 1 time/day]
……
[Mimic: This is another commendable part of Godot's Chain, it doesn't need you to manipulate it yourself, you only need to manipulate it with your mind, it can be turned into a 3.5-meter-long semi-illusory chain, helping you complete a feasible action (the radius cannot exceed 35 meters, it will consume energy when it appears and lasts)]
……
Looking at the two props in his hand, Qin Ran quickly put aside the damaged [House of Resentment], and instead took the [Godot's Chain] and looked at it in detail.
"Not bad."
In the end, Qin Ran gave such an evaluation.
Maybe it can't be compared to his equipment items, but when those equipment items are sealed in the game room, this item that can't be brought out becomes his only help.
In particular, for the characteristics of the soul, it is an indispensable assistance for Qin Ran.
Wearing the [Godot Chain] on his wrist, Qin Ran's heart moved.
Immediately, a 3.5-meter-long, illusory chain broke away from Godot's Chain, like a snake, swimming around him and the mimosa as he thought.
Then, with Qin Ran's thoughts, he disappeared out of thin air.
Feeling the consumption of energy, Qin Ran nodded again.
Not much, within acceptable limits.
After confirming that he had roughly mastered this prop, Qin Ran looked at the third piece of loot.
It was a palm-sized black bag.
When he picked it up, he heard the unique sound of metal rubbing, and Qin Ran roughly guessed what was inside.
And it turned out that Qin Ran did not guess wrong.
【Copper Money】!
Twenty pieces in total.
Looking at the twenty [Tongdu Coins], Qin Ran narrowed his eyes, he was finally able to test some of his previous ideas.
However, Qin Ran did not forget what was in front of him.
"It needs to be cleaned here and downstairs."
"Although it shouldn't be a big problem, but to be on the safe side, I think it's better to wipe it with hydrogen peroxide."
Qin Ran turned his head to look at the mimosa.
"Hmm."
"There's it in the kitchen, I bought it before."
Mimosa let Qin Ran take her hand and nodded.
"After dawn, we need to add a few necessary things."
"Is there enough money?"
Qin Ran pulled the mimosa and walked downstairs, asking as he walked.
"In addition to the supplementary ingredients, there are a few."
"But it's a bit difficult to get to the level it used to be."
"Those gas canisters aren't cheap."
Mimosa replied.
At the same time, a strange feeling rose in my heart.
This is another time that mimosa is worried about money.
Still unfamiliar.
Still excited.
It's still a different kind of emotion.
It was definitely not because he came into contact with the warmth in Qin Ran's palm.
"Lack of money?"
Qin Ran, who was pulling the mimosa and walking in front of him, whispered to himself unconsciously.
The man before seemed to disdain ordinary money, and there was no paper money on him.
Otherwise, the high-ranking evil spirits who had the same intentions as Qin Ran would definitely protect the queen.
"Do you want to exchange [Tongdu money] for paper money?"
When this idea appeared in Qin Ran's mind, after only thinking about it for a moment, Qin Ran gave up such an idea.
Although the purchasing power of [Tongdu Qian] is not known yet, the fact that [Tongdu Qian] alone can make the five major source forces active is enough to become Qin Ran's non-sale.
When the strength is strong, everything is easy to do.
Otherwise, no matter how much money there is, that is, the truth of a fat sheep, Qin Ran would have known it for a long time.
"So ......"
After Qin Ran groaned slightly, he thought of Sheriff Teddy again.
It's not about borrowing money.
It's John. Diesson's Bounty!
The bounty of 20,000 yuan is enough for him and Mimosa to get through this difficult period.
Need to get in touch?
The answer, of course, is obvious.
It's your own, and that's something you have to fight for.
Just when Qin Ran and Mimosa cleaned the 'Ye Zhi Restaurant' inside and out, and were about to call Sheriff Teddy, the sheriff stepped on the morning sun and came to get the restaurant again.
As soon as he walked through the door, Teddy smelled the peculiar smell of hydrogen peroxide.
He sniffed, but didn't say anything, instead tossing the brown paper bag in his hand onto the bar.
"John. Diesson's Bounty. ”
"And the 1,204 pieces in your lost wallet should be in it."
"I'll try to get you down before I suspend you."
"It's kind of a reward for last night."
Teddy said honestly.
Qin Ran picked up the kraft paper bag, and after checking it, he confirmed that it was correct, and then handed the paper bag to the mimosa with a happy face.
For the first time, Mimosa felt a sense of joy because she was making money.
The same strange feeling.
But......
Very good.
Carefully put the coins in the money box, Mimosa turned around beautifully, walked into the kitchen, and prepared breakfast for Qin Ran.
"I recommend depositing it in the bank, otherwise it will cause some malicious ...... Well, I didn't say that. ”
Teddy reminded subconsciously.
But before the words came out, he thought of how the young man in front of him chopped those hideous and terrifying guys like chopping melons and vegetables.
If anyone is really eyeing here, then there is absolutely no need to worry about the brothers, but should pray that the guys who are eyeing this place will not have any accidents.
"That's all, see you later."
Teddy waved his hand as he spoke, and he prepared to leave.
However, as he was about to go out on the horse, Teddy suddenly turned around and asked, "Those things, they don't appear during the day, do they?" ”
"No, it won't."
"At night, it's their favorite."
"Of course, some special places will also become places for them to wander."
After solving the problem of money, Qin Ran was in a very good mood.
"So what if, I mean if, I do encounter them?"
Teddy asked after a moment's hesitation.
"Run."
Qin Ran said simply.
"What if I can't run?"
Teddy continued.
"Then pray that it has no ill will towards you, or that you have an electric baton, torch or something, and what else is wrong? We're going to proof. ”
"No, thank you."
"Good luck with your business."
Teddy waved his hand, revealing a tourist flyer.
Apparently, the sheriff intended to take the suspension as a vacation.
Qin Ran's excellent eyesight was able to see the big headline on the flyer: Hot Spring Cultural Tour.
"I wish you a nice trip."
Qin Ran waved his hand, walked out of the bar, retrieved the small blackboard from outside the restaurant, and hung another sign with mimosa writing 'Business Closed' at the door.
The restaurant door is closed.
The sign swayed from side to side in the morning sun.
Gradually, it calmed down.
Cities are starting to wake up.
The long night is over, and a new day begins.
