Chapter 5 Methodology

Rachel put down the cup, turned around, and looked at Qin Ran with eyes that she had never seen before.

Earnest, yet sharp, like a knife.

Qin Ran looked back at the other party calmly, and roughly recounted what had just happened through a private message.

After finishing speaking, Qin Ran could clearly feel the relaxed appearance.

Obviously, the other party is not surprised by 'how to kill people in the game room', but focuses on the 'kill people in the game room' problem itself.

2567: Did something happen?

……

Through a private message, Qin Ran asked.

As for whether Rachel would answer, Qin Ran didn't have much confidence.

Although he often appears in the Harvest Tavern, what really makes him here, in addition to the constant invitations from Lawless, is the convenience of selling props.

I really have a connection with Rachel because of lawlessness.

Other than that, he didn't have any more personal relationships with Rachel.

Therefore, when Rachel gave an answer, Qin Ran was very surprised.

Rachel: Somebody wanted to hire me to take out a threat with an 'off-the-counter move', and then ...... Failed.

……

A short answer, but it reveals extraordinary information.

"'Off-the-shelf'?"

"A threat?"

Qin Ran muttered in his heart, and his squinted eyes suddenly widened.

Off-the-board moves, as the name suggests, are unscrupulous tricks that leave the eyes.

What's in front of you?

Game!

That's the trick outside of the game.

And what threat is worth hiring Rachel to tackle out-of-game?

Witch!

Aside from this answer, Qin Ran couldn't think of any other answer.

Immediately, Qin Ran sent a private message.

Rachel: Well, it's a witch.

Rachel: Then, I failed.

2567 : Failed?

……

Qin Ran couldn't help but ask.

The tavern owner seemed to be caught up in some bad memory, and it took two or three seconds before she came back to her senses.

Rachel: yes, it failed.

Rachel: What should have been an easy task has turned out to be unexpected! Seems...... It's as if the whole world is working against you.

Rachel: And, what's even weirder is that it's only when you're dealing with a 'witch'!

……

"As if the whole world is working against you?"

"Is this only the case with the 'witch'?"

"Child of Destiny?"

Couldn't help it, Qin Ran thought of a book called "Destiny Child" in the small study of the 'God of the Earth' Ni Kailei.

The whole book is very thick, 200 pages long, but the content is the same.

Most of them are small stories in which the protagonist faces unimaginable difficulties for ordinary people, but unexpectedly solves them smoothly.

Among them, what impressed Qin Ran the most was that no matter how powerful the enemy was, facing the protagonist, would always become the nutrient for the protagonist's growth.

And every time the protagonist who does not die in a catastrophe will become stronger and stronger, until he finally defeats the strong enemy that should be invincible.

The story of the whole book has a lot of unreasonable points in Qin Ran's opinion, but it is undoubtedly the best reading to pass the time, and the positioning of the book itself is also entertainment-oriented.

The reason why Qin Ran finished reading it is because the author of the book itself is Ni Kailei.

He wanted to find out more about what might be hidden.

But the end result was disappointing.

However, Qin Ran remembered a sentence in the book.

Don't go against the children of fate, for you will be disgusted by the whole world! ’

What is it like to be disgusted by the whole world?

Choking to death after drinking saliva?

Hit by a car when you're out of the house?

Or was it simply struck by lightning?

As long as Qin Ran imagined it, he would shudder.

"What a terrible 'witch' ......"

Qin Ran muttered in a low voice, and then sent out a private message again.

Rachel: And then?

Rachel: Naturally, it's revenge from the 'witch'.

Rachel: In the face of her former friend, the 'witch' was bloody and merciless, but everyone who had something to do with that one was killed, even the few lucky guys who hid back in the game room, they didn't escape.

Rachel: Don't worry, the 'witch' didn't hire us, and those guys have already been devastated in the battle with the witch, and there is only one way to die in the face of the newly started dungeon world.

Rachel: Curious, why did I survive?

……

Qin Ran nodded unabashedly.

The tavern keeper picked up her glass and took a sip of sweet wine before continuing to send a private message.

Rachel: Because I paid the same price.

2567 : The same price as life?

……

The tavern's landlady did not answer, and the conversation between the two sides fell silent.

Qin Ran believes that Rachel will pay a lot of money.

As he believes, Kars is not so idiotic as to leak his address.

Similarly, Kars does not enter into contracts that threaten its own security.

And apart from these two points, what else is possible?

Qin Ran, who was in doubt, fell into more thoughts.

Coincidentally, at this time, there was another 'lone wanderer' visiting the tavern.

Qin Ran looked at the 'lone wanderer' who walked in, his eyes lit up.

"The game room can block danger from outside the room!"

"But what if this danger lurks directly in the room?"

"I'm afraid I only need to pay a certain price to be able to complete this impossible murder!"

Qin Ran thought of Allen, the abandoned son of the 'broker'.

Under duress, the other party used the [Ten Times Slowdown Cooldown Card] on him, and the whole process was also completed in his game room.

If you exchange the [10x Slowdown Cooldown Card] for another deadly item.

Even, you don't need to use people to complete the murder.

And the only thing that needs to be proven is ......

Is there such a prop, or is there someone who can hide the prop for what it is?

Immediately, Qin Ran asked the tavern owner in a private message.

Rachel: Who knows?

Rachel: Huge cities change every day, and even those of us who are the first to enter are just the tip of the iceberg of the underground game.

Rachel: No one can say for sure what kind of skills will appear, or what kind of items will appear.

Rachel: Like, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, how could I have believed that 2567 you have reached the point of confronting the 'gods' in a short period of time.

……

The tavern owner was obviously reluctant to talk about these things anymore, and led the topic to Qin Ran's original question.

2567: You know?

……

"Of course!"

"But it's a lot of money."

This time, the tavern landlady didn't send a private message again, but spoke directly.

looked at the other party holding a wine glass, and the clouds were light and breezy.

Inexplicably, Qin Ran began to feel pain.

Whew, whew!

Qin Ran took several deep breaths in a row, thinking that he was fully prepared, and then asked, "How much?" ”

But immediately, the price quoted by the tavern owner still made Qin Ran feel that his two hearts were in a state of arrest.
