Chapter 42: Appearance
Qin Ran looked at the handwriting on the page, and there was no surprise in his expression.
When he was suspicious of Finks, the people around the other party were naturally suspicious.
Qin Ran would not speculate on a person with the greatest malice.
But they will not believe that people in the world are kind and harmless.
Qin Ran's gaze looked at Simmons.
He wanted to ask some details about Boyle.
However, before Simmons could explain further, Fielde floated in.
"2567, there's a guest from the Dark Star Society who wants to see you!"
"It's powerful!"
"Be careful!"
The Ghost Butler wrote.
"The Darkstar Society wants to see me?"
"Is it because of Carl Ross?"
Qin Ran raised his eyebrows, and doubts became in his heart.
As for the Dark Star Society, Qin Ran had nothing more to do with it except for meeting Carl Ross in the Sage's Garden.
Moreover, the matter of Carl Ross was also explained by Nikele, and the Dark Star Society accepted it.
The matter has been turned over, and it is impossible for the other party to come to the door because of this matter.
And why?
Especially the ghost butler's reminder, Qin Ran would not think that the other party was untargeted.
After having the precedent of Titch and Simmons, Qin Ran already understood that none of the people or other beings who followed Nikailei were simple.
What's more, the ghost butler who is not afraid of the sun is extremely special in itself.
Therefore, even if he was puzzled in his heart, it did not prevent Qin Ran from thanking the ghost butler for his kindness.
"Thanks, Field!"
As Qin Ran spoke, he said hello to Simmons and walked towards No. 1 Black Street.
Compared with Boyle's eccentricity, this 'guest' of the Dark Star Association made Qin Ran pay more attention to it.
Simmons, of course, knows this too.
Simmons didn't follow, though.
Because. Simmons knew that if he followed, if anything happened, it would be chaos.
……
Walking into the reception room of Black Street 1, Qin Ran saw the familiar dark red suit.
The middle-aged man in front of him, except for a silver handkerchief in his left breast pocket, was wearing the same dark red suit as Culross, and his temperament was also very similar.
The face and beard are meticulously cared for.
There was also a smile on the corner of his mouth.
However, unlike Carl Ross's hidden arrogance, the middle-aged man in front of him was seeing Qin then. He was very warm and polite.
"Good afternoon, Mr. 2567!"
"I'm Hosdil of the Dark Star Society, and I have to bother you because of something."
"Thank you for your understanding."
The other party said.
"If you don't mind, let's sit down and talk."
Qin Ran, who didn't know what the other party meant, was not in a hurry, he pointed to the sofa in the reception room and said.
"Thank you!"
The other party immediately smiled and thanked him.
Then, I sat down on the sofa.
The other party's sitting posture is not the relaxed appearance of ordinary people. It's a look that is both relaxed and elegant.
It's easy to get a good impression when people see it.
Of course, Qin Ran is definitely not in this category.
The vigilance in his heart from the time he saw the other party. It rose to the top.
The momentum of the other party is much stronger than Carl Ross and Wilk.
Even if the other party has deliberately restrained, there is a sense of oppression that occasionally leaks out. made Qin Ran have to deal with it with all his energy.
"It's so strong!"
For the ghost butler to say that it is very powerful, Qin Ran has a specific concept.
However, the shock in my heart. Qin Ran didn't show it.
His gaze was straight at the other.
"Mr. Hosdil, why did you come to me?"
Qin Ran asked.
"Alcatel Island!"
"Or rather, to be exact: the bronze coffin!"
"We need you to help us open that bronze coffin!"
Hosdier said.
"Need me to open that bronze pavilion?"
This time, Qin Ran could no longer hide the surprise on his face.
He didn't expect that the other party came because of the bronze giant hall.
After all, in his mind, the bronze coffin had completely become the forbidden body of the Dark Star Society.
"Yes!"
"That bronze coffin, only you, Mr. 2567, can open it, this is a fact that we only figured out after spending a considerable price!"
Bitterness appeared in Hosdil's countenance.
That bitterness was enough to tell Qin Ran that the price paid by the Dark Star Association was definitely not small.
However, he wanted to know what had happened to make the bronze coffin open only to him.
"What's going on?"
"I don't remember what I did with the bronze coffin."
Qin Ran asked again and again.
"Because, you did it unintentionally!"
The bitterness in Hosdil's face deepened.
He raised his head and looked at Qin Ran, and was silent for a few seconds before continuing to speak.
"You're in a conversation with Kilfin. During the battle, Huff inadvertently completed the most important step in opening the bronze coffin: sacrifice! ”
"You won over Kilfin. Hedge, and sacrificed his flesh and soul to the bronze coffin! ”
"Perhaps, you did this unintentionally, but now you are the only one who can open the bronze coffin!"
"And if we want to get the contents of the bronze coffin, we must cooperate with you!"
"Of course, we will pay you enough, in the presence of Her Excellency Nichaelly!"
After saying that, Hosdil's bitterness turned into a wry smile.
Qin Ran finally understood what the reason for the other party's politeness and enthusiasm for him was.
The other party has a request for him!
Looking at the other party's wry smile, Qin Ran knew very well that the other party was worried that he would open his mouth.
Because, from the very beginning, the Dark Star Society has shown that it is inevitable to win the bronze giant coffin, and this imperative is a kind of deterrence to other people and other forces before.
But at this moment, it has become Qin Ran's bargaining chip.
The more the Dark Star Association was bound to obtain that bronze giant coffin, the more benefits Qin Ran would get.
But. Qin Ran paid more attention to the words 'under the witness of His Excellency Nikailei' in the other party's mouth.
"Rei, do you know about this?"
Qin Ran asked.
"I only dare to appear here with the consent of Her Excellency Nikelle - the Daredevil Society has already learned the strength of Her Excellency Nikele, and we Dark Star Society do not want to follow in the footsteps."
"Moreover, your assistant has quite a status in the eyes of His Excellency Ni Kailei!"
"You may not know that we have put a lot of effort into making this opportunity to meet you; So, if you can, please think carefully. Don't say no easily! ”
Hosdir restrained a wry smile and said with a slightly pleading expression.
Sure enough, it's Lei!
Qin Ran sighed in his heart.
He could have imagined what would have happened to him without Nikalei's presence.
Where will there be soft words in front of you, good words to persuade each other.
I'm afraid that it will be the most direct force to force each other as soon as it comes up.
And because of this, Qin Ran needed to ask Nikailei more.
He believed that Nikelle knew better.
And be able to give him better guidance.
For example: what kind of remuneration does he want?
This is something that Qin Ran can't grasp because of his own knowledge.
Less, he will be distressed.
If there are more, the other party will not agree.
Only at a point of no more, no less, can the two sides reach a cooperation.
As for what's inside the bronze coffin?
The meaning in the other party's words is already clear.
They won't give up.
So. I took out something else as compensation.
Taking a deep breath, Qin Ran looked at Hosdil.
"I'd like to ask for Lei's opinion a little more, and I hope you'll be able to wait for ......"
Jingle bells, jingle bells......
Before Qin Ran's words were finished, the phone in the reception room rang.
Look at the phone that rang by coincidence. Qin Ran immediately had a guess in his heart.
Ni Carlet!
There are only a handful of people who can know the phone number here, and who else can make such a clever call except for this psychic who can almost 'see' everything.
After making an apologetic gesture towards Hosdil. Qin Ran picked up the microphone.
Immediately, Nikelei's voice could be heard inside.
"2567, you're my assistant. Well done! ”
"And if you can kill Wilk, you can do it on your own. So, I hope you can help me more - there seems to be some secrets hidden on Alcatel, and I need your help to investigate them. ”
"I will propose the compensation of the Dark Star Society on your behalf, and it will be in your hands when you land on Alcatel Island, which will definitely satisfy you!"
"How?"
Without waiting for Qin Ran to take the initiative to ask, Nikailei said very simply.
Then, a series of system prompts appeared on Qin Ran's retina.
[The player performed well, and the main quest 'Acting as a psychic assistant' was completed ahead of schedule, and the new main quest 'Return to Alcatel Island' was opened]
[Background: Nikaelle is pleased with your performance, and she thinks you can take charge of it on your own and help her with more things......]
[Main Quest: Return to Alcatel]
(Note: Completing the main quest early and completing the new quest will give you a higher rating!) )
……
"It's a new main quest?!"
Looking at the system's prompt, Qin Ran was surprised.
The matter in front of him, if there was a side quest, Qin Ran would definitely not be surprised, he would only think that it was a reasonable thing.
However, the original main quest was completed ahead of schedule, and a new main quest appeared.
For Qin Ran, it was the first time.
"Is it because of the special copy?"
"Or is it really because I'm doing well?"
"Or both?"
Qin Ran guessed in his heart.
However, Nikelle's answer was not slow.
"As your assistant, can I refuse?"
"I'll be ready to go right away!"
"And ......"
Faced with the main task, Qin Ran naturally couldn't refuse.
But the doubts hidden in the bottom of my heart must be asked clearly.
But such a question was interrupted again by Nikelle.
"Trust your own judgment!"
Nikalyt hung up the phone.
Trust your own judgment?
In other words, there is something really wrong with the Finks!
Qin Ran's heart sank.
The next moment, just as Qin Ran was about to say something to Hosdil, a sound of footsteps sounded from the corridor.
Boyle rushed in.
"Dr. Finks is back!"
"A Mr. Detective brought him back!"
"2567 Sir, thank you for all you have done for Dr. Finks, I can't thank you enough!"
As soon as the other party walked into the reception room, he said like this.
"That's great!"
Qin Ran said with a smile.
There was a sneer in his heart.
