"What?"

"Persuaded?"

"That Dark Eater is going to break away from the Dark Eater Alliance and become a follower of 2567?!"

Garcia, who was lying on the hospital bed, listened to the assistant in the research room, as if he was listening to a fairy tale, and his eyes were full of disbelief unconsciously widened.

"Yes."

"It's unbelievable, but the Dark Eater is really going to leave the Dark Eater Alliance, and we've just confirmed the news."

The assistant in the research room nodded affirmatively.

He understood Garcia's surprise and disbelief.

Because, not so long ago, he was like that.

Even, it is several times more intense.

As for the Dark Eaters, as researchers in the Doyle Research Laboratory, they are no strangers, they know very well how terrifying those who have sacrificed all their dignity, honor, and even humanity are the guys, often if a battle breaks out, it takes two or three people at the same level to be able to suppress each other, but now a real Dark Eater is persuaded by simple words, if it is not confirmed, they will only think it is a fantasy.

There was silence in the room.

It took a long time for Garcia to come back to his senses.

"What about the two people I have in my plan to pick up 2567?"

"Where are they?"

Garcia asked.

"They were unfortunately affected by SCP-2567's attack, and they didn't even have a chance to identify themselves."

The assistant in the research room said cautiously.

He knew the plan of the fourth-grader in front of him, and hoped to help the other party when the freshman chief faced the 'most difficult situation', not only to gain the favor of the other party, but also to win the right one, even if the other party's 'most difficult situation' was created by them.

But as long as it succeeds, who cares about it?

But......

They failed.

The most important thing is that the two people who were discharged to relieve the siege also lost their lives.

It's really a recipe for stealing chickens.

"Dead?"

Garcia was stunned.

A team of seven people carefully cultivated by Professor Doyle was wiped out in less than an hour?

And, more importantly, they all met with misfortune while carrying out his orders.

Why is this happening?

Obviously, everything was planned.

They weren't wrong, it was my plan that was wrong.

Everything is my fault.

For a while, the fourth grader began to doubt life.

The fourth-grader's breathing became more and more rapid, and his face flushed unnaturally.

Eventually—

Burst!

A mouthful of blood spurted straight out, and the wound that had just been stitched up also began to flow blood, quickly staining the gauze red.

Garcia passed out directly.

"Doctor! Doctor! ”

The lab assistant shouted.

……

"Do you know what you're doing?"

Seniore shouted almost in a roar.

When he first received the news of the Dark Eater, he hurried over, but when he arrived, the teacher, who was afraid of trouble, realized that the trouble in front of him was far more troublesome than he had imagined.

The Dark Eater actually abandoned his identity as a Dark Eater and prepared to ...... No, he has become the chief retinue of their freshmen.

Looking at the former Dark Eater standing quietly behind 2567, Senior's temples began to pound suddenly.

He is well aware of what the consequences will be if this matter spreads widely today.

The Dark Eaters aren't easy to mess with.

What makes him even more helpless is that today's incident will inevitably spread widely.

In Teorit, more than fifty people died, and even Dean Ron Muth couldn't suppress it.

Even those who are to blame are to blame.

Thinking of what they would have to face in the next period of time, Seniore really wanted to punch the freshman chief in front of him and warn the other party not to cause trouble again.

But when he thought of the difference in strength between the two sides, he wisely did not make a move, but instead roared.

"Yes."

Qin Ran nodded.

"You know you're still doing this?"

Senior's roar was louder.

"What reason do I have to reject a man who forsakes evil and turns to good?"

Qin Ran asked rhetorically.

"But have you ever thought about the trouble you're going to get from doing so?"

Seniore slapped the table in front of him hard, and the whole person stood up.

"I've thought about it."

"But if everyone rejects goodness because of the measure in their hearts, then the world will fall into real darkness, which is really sad."

"I can't persuade others what to do."

"But I just hope I can stick to the bottom line in my heart."

Qin Ran's voice was not high, and his tone was also very indifferent, but it was such a word, but it showed an unprecedented sense of truth and ...... The righteousness is awe-inspiring.

Faced with such words, Seniore looked at Qin Ran in a daze, he couldn't think of any reason to refute.

The clerk who was recording on the side raised his head, and there was a hint of admiration in his eyes when he looked at Qin Ran.

"I warn you that the Dark Eaters will do anything to get revenge on you."

"Although they have lost their reputation, this time they still want to redeem everything that the word 'Dark Eater' represents."

Seniore sat back in his chair, took two deep breaths, and said with a serious face.

"Hmm."

"Let them come."

Qin Ran stood up and walked out.

The silent former Dark Eater followed without dropping.

The door closed slowly.

Seniore sat behind his desk and didn't say a word.

He stared at the closed door, and his mind kept echoing Qin Ran's words just now.

If all people reject goodness because of the measure of their hearts, then the world will be plunged into real darkness, how sad it is! ’

"When did I start to measure everything in terms of profit?"

"When I graduate?"

"No, it was earlier."

"It should have been when I went to the secret realm for the first time, and the teacher who led the team told me that I had to give up the wounded in my group to ensure the safety of the others."

"There's nothing wrong with that."

"Giving up a small part and ensuring a large part is the wisest choice!"

"Yes...... Why can't I forget this incident until now? ”

"Why, I will be in my heart...... Or are you uneasy? ”

Senior's head in both hands, his palms clutching his hair.

The clerk picked up the notes and walked quietly outside, without making a sound.

In the next room, Professor Thales had been waiting for a long time.

Taking the clerk's note, Tells flipped through it.

In fact, he'd already seen it all.

Because, this room is the same as the room next door.

Using an oil painting as a disguise, the people in this room can easily see everything next door, and the people next door don't know anything about it.

Hmmm, mph.

The sound of the pages turning was the only sound in the room, and at the end, a sigh from Professor Thales.

"Leonard went to see Senior."

"You need to pay more attention to him lately."

"He still can't get out of what happened back then."

Thales instructed Leonard, who was already worried and wanted to leave.

"Okay, Professor."

Leonard hurried to the next door.

When Thales and the clerk were the only ones left in the room, Thales looked at the latter.

"Morley, what do you think?"

Thiers asked.

"Very nice lad."

"Although it seems indifferent, I know what I should do in my heart."

"Maybe it's too drastic, but it's trustworthy."

"Provided, though, that you gain his trust."

The gray-haired, eye-worn clerk replied, and on the clerk's right hand, a plant that looked like a dandelion was planted in a potted plant the size of a little fingertip, swaying as if in agreement with the clerk's words.

"Is that so?"

"Have you watched the surveillance video?"

"What's the problem?"

Tells pondered for a moment before asking.

"Everything works!"

"Although the Dark Eater wanted to confuse 2567 with words, he never thought that 2567's will was as strong as a rock and his mind was sharp, not only did he not succeed, but he was poked by 2567 in the hidden weakness in his heart."

"So much so that after he collapsed his psychological defense, what happened after that happened."

The clerk knew what Thiel was asking and said very simply.

"It's really incredible!"

Telth sighed.

"It's not incredible."

"But it's not something that the average person can do."

"He needs a lot of self-confidence and a corresponding charisma."

The clerk corrected the error in Tels's words.

"Does 2567 have it?"

Thales asked rhetorically.

"In front of fifty corpses, it's a shock to anyone, and you can understand it as another unique charm."

"However, 2567 shouldn't need that anymore."

The Registrar meant something.

"I hope I don't get into any big trouble!"

"Teorit's anniversary is about to begin!"

Tells said with a wry smile.

"Maybe trouble will turn out to be a good thing?"

The clerk said optimistically.

Yes, trouble can turn into a good thing.

Just be prepared and take advantage of the opportunity.

Just like Qin Ran at this time.

Thirty-three magic props and two rare props were counted in the apartment, and the smile on his face could not be hidden.

Although it is worth caring about two rare props, the value represented by thirty-three magic props is not comparable to two rare props.

After carefully arranging the thirty-three magic props into the backpack, Qin Ran's eyes looked at the two rare props.

【Name:Cream Ball】

……

[Exciting: Even if you are on the verge of death, you will rise up in a crispy sound, after eating it, you can keep the dying person alive for 1 minute, but after a minute, you will fall into organ failure and die quickly, if you want to treat the injured, it is not the best means, but it is the last choice. 】

……

Unlike most of the magic-level kitchen utensils, the two rare items are disposable food, and although there is no grade of 'war food', it is enough to play an unexpected role as long as it is used properly.

After carefully placing the [Cream Ball] and [Crispy Pizza] within easy reach of the backpack, Qin Ran took out the metal box containing the [Golden Cake (Imitation)].

Seriously, in this plan, the [Golden Cake (Imitation)] that arrives and another meal that will arrive are what Qin Ran is really looking forward to.

Click!

Carefully opening the box, a ray of golden light shone on Qin Ran's face.

What's more, the aroma of the cake comes to your face.

Looking at the golden cake in front of him, which was only about seven inches in size, Qin Ran, who remembered that after the food left the preservation box, the quality would decline over time, without any hesitation, he grabbed it directly and put it in his mouth.

The soft, sweet but not greasy taste instantly permeates the teeth and taste buds.

Then, the whole cake turned into a semi-liquid, like melted ice cream, down Qin Ran's esophagus and into his stomach.

The 'gluttony' who had been waiting for a long time rushed to this delicious food with joy.

After it was disintegrated and transformed, the power of demons, the power of the Dawn, the power of the plague, the power of the Holy Thorn, and the power of original sin began to accelerate again.

The five major source forces in Qin Ran's body once again turned into the purest power, feeding the fire in his mind, making it more vigorous and brighter, dispelling more chaos and darkness.

It's all the same as before.

But the changes after that made Qin Ran feel pleasantly surprised.

[Absorbs Special Energy, Perception Level +3]

【Perception ZZ→ZZZ (Strong I.)】

……

Stats Boosted!

It turned out to be a stat boost, not a similar skill.

Qin Ran looked at the words that appeared on the retina, and quickly thought of the attributes of [Golden Cake (Imitation)]: [Golden Gift (Defective): Complete and Optimize Physical Attributes].

The attribute of the disability level can increase the perception by 3 levels, so ...... Completely?

And also!

A real meal-level food has already made him reap a lot of benefits.

And now, he still has two meals of food that he hasn't arrived!

Bang, Bang Tie.

Raising his left hand and gently tapping on the armrest of the chair, Qin Ran narrowed his eyes slightly, and at this time, he realized that he seemed to have underestimated the hidden value of the copy world in front of him.

The only thing to be thankful for is that he was careful and cautious enough to not miss too much, let alone make mistakes.

Even, it is likely that there will be even greater windfalls.

Subconsciously, Qin Ran looked at the former Dark Eater standing on the side.

Immediately, the former Dark Eater knelt on one knee and said reverently.

"My lord, Lester is for you."
