The looming figure walked slowly.

Suddenly, a flash of fire flashed in front of the other party.

Da!

A strange sound echoed through the alley.

A pistol with a muffler installed!

When Riley, who was sitting in the car, heard the noise, he immediately knew what it was, and immediately shrank his head and curled up his whole body between the passenger seat and the front desk.

Even if the car is not bulletproof, it is better than being hit by a bullet directly.

As for Qin Ran?

Riley could see clearly that before the other side could shoot, Qin Ran disappeared in front of the car in a flash.

Where Qin Ran went, Riley didn't know.

However, Riley knew that Qin Ran didn't abandon him and run away.

Just listen to the gunshots.

Da, da!

The headlights had long since been shattered, and the entire alley had become pitch black, except for the flickering gunfire and the occasional malicious glow.

And when the gunfire also died down, the alley was completely darkened.

Riley, who was curled up, poked his head out again and looked out of the car cautiously.

But apart from the darkness, he could see nothing.

Boom!

As Riley searched closely, the sound of metal clashing suddenly appeared in front of the car.

The collision and friction of the two metal weapons splashed a spark, causing a faint light to appear in the dark alley again.

In an instant, Riley's eyes widened.

With that faint light, he could vaguely see the person who was fighting with Qin Ran.

The sharp knife was familiar with the face that made him nightmares.

'Executioner' Kerouac!

Riley instinctively screamed.

At the last moment, though, he violently covered his mouth.

He didn't want to distract Qin Ran, who was fighting.

Because, that's to make trouble for himself.

Riley covered his mouth and stared in front of him.

But he found that Qin Ran and the 'executioner' Kerouac had disappeared into the darkness again. It's as if they just appeared out of nowhere.

The two of them were like ghosts.

Looking at the darkness in front of him, an indescribable shock appeared in Riley's heart.

Qin Ran was able to compete with the 'executioner' Kerouac?

Today, Riley has seen too much of Qin Ran's magic.

But at no time did he feel as shocked as he did at this moment.

As for the previous speculation, Riley is also more and more certain.

What journalist?

How can there be a journalist who can be on par with the 'executioner' Kerouac?

It's all a cover-up!

The only ones who can be on a par with Kerouac the 'Executioner' are similar beings!

"Who is it?"

"According to Qin Ran's age...... Disappeared within three years without being confirmed dead. His face is unknown, and he wields a dagger, and he is as elusive as Kerouac......"

Riley began to search for information in his mind that most people didn't know.

Then, he quickly locked on a character.

"There's only one!"

"'Thorn of Shadows'!"

"Qin Ran is the 'Thorn of Shadows'!"

"Only the 'Thorn of Shadows' can be on par with the 'Executioner'!"

Riley, who thought he had guessed Qin Ran's true identity, trembled with excitement.

That's the Thorn of Shadows!

Another legend of the city!

A legend with the same name as 'The Executioner'!

Apparently the intelligence traffickers misunderstood something.

is not only Qin Ran's identity, but also ...... The so-called 'no matter how big or low'!

Standing in the shadows, Qin Ran, who seemed to be one with the shadows, gently raised his dagger, and the darkness in front of him could not block Qin Ran's sight.

Dagger on because of the collision. And the hug that appeared, as well as the bright red, in Qin Ran's eyes, showed the slightest!

The 'executioner' Kerouac who fought him was wounded.

After the other party showed the long knife that Riley had described more than once, Qin Ran roughly determined the identity of the other party.

At the same time, it was also confirmed that Qin Ran's previous thoughts: 'Executioner' Kerouac was exaggerated.

After a tentative battle with the other party, Qin Ran could roughly determine that the opponent's strength and agility had reached the E+ level of ordinary people's limits. 【Stealth】【Gunpowder Weapon. Light weapons] should also be at the mastery level.

But that's it.

Even, the long knife used by the other party. It's just brute force.

The technique is very rough, at most between the basics and the beginning.

Dealing with ordinary people is naturally handy.

But nowhere near as exaggerated as Riley suggests.

At least, that's the case for Qin Ran.

In terms of strength and agility, Qin Ran surpassed the opponent by two or three levels, [Stealth] [Gunpowder Weapon. Light Weapons] skill level is two levels higher than the opponent's.

Coupled with Qin Ran's powerful perception, the other party had nothing to hide.

Everything to fight. When the other party appears, it is doomed.

Qin Ran's gaze looked at the other side.

In the eyes of ordinary people, it is a fusion of darkness and shadow.

But in Qin Ran's eyes, the shadow there was extremely awkward and dazzling.

It's as if an ostrich buried its head in the dirt and lifted its body. Body. Exposed.

The next moment. Qin Ran moved.

It was as if a shadow swept through the darkness, silently appearing beside the other party, and the dagger flashed.

Burst!

Blood spurted from the other person's neck.

[Cutting: Vital Attack, dealing 200 HP damage to the opponent (100 Cold Weapon (Dagger) (Mastery) X2), and the opponent dies ......]

The battle information appeared on Qin Ran's retina.

The corpse of the other party also fell to the ground.

Avoiding the spray of blood, Qin Ran began to loot his loot.

[Requirements: Strength E+, Cold Weapon. Long Knife (Basic)】

[Can I bring out this copy: Yes]

[Note: This is a cold weapon created using modern technology!] 】

……

The two weapons, [MI-02] was directly replaced by Qin Ran [M1905], under the premise of the same quality and attack power, weapons with attributes are undoubtedly the first choice.

In the face of the [Alloy Long Knife], Qin Ran could only shake his head and sigh.

The excellent quality and attack power comparable to that of the [M1-02] are enough to show that this is a pretty good cold weapon, but unfortunately it is not a dagger.

But this did not prevent Qin Ran from putting it in his backpack.

Then, Qin Ran began to examine the other party's corpse.

Some clues are always hidden in subtleties, and Qin Ran, who knows this truth, will naturally not be careless.

In the same way, he was rewarded.

On the back of the other man's neck, he saw a number—

Ⅲ

Immediately, a bad premonition rose in Qin Ran's heart.
