"Hello?"

Qin Ran picked up the phone.

Although his thoughts were interrupted, Qin Ran was not impatient or impatient because of this.

Because, not many people know this phone number.

And there are even fewer people who can call at the right time - most of the day, Qin Ran will unplug the phone line.

"It's me, Teddy."

"I'm in trouble."

"I'm ...... at the 'Shoshi Onsen Hotel'"

Teddy, who knew Qin Ran's personality and the urgency in front of him, didn't have any greetings, and said directly to the point.

Qin Ran didn't interrupt the other party and listened very patiently.

Teddy described everything he encountered in as much detail as possible.

From entering the inn, to the nightmare, to going out of the window, to the fight with the weird, Teddy said it all.

"How's your condition?"

After listening to the paraphrase, Qin Ran asked.

"The right hand is slightly injured."

Teddy replied truthfully.

"Does it affect the battle?"

Qin Ran continued to ask.

After Teddy clenched his fist a few times, he felt a lot of pain and replied affirmatively, "No." ”

"Good."

"Now you listen to me, after turning the phone on speakerphone, you hold the weapon you have prepared in your hand."

Qin Ran said slowly.

"And then?"

Teddy inexplicably had a bad premonition in his heart, but he still pressed the speakerphone according to Qin Ran's instructions.

After all, he believed in a professional like Qin Ran.

"And then?"

"Then, of course, it's up to me."

Qin Ran said, his voice unconsciously became cold.

"I don't know if you're the one who died in this mudslide, or if you're a weird one hiding in the Turquoise Mountain."

"I'm not going to pursue that."

"I'm not going to find out what you're trying to do."

"Because, for me, it doesn't make any difference at all."

"All I want is to annihilate you."

"I'm Luo Yan, the owner of 'Ye Zhi Restaurant', and I'm also a friend of Sheriff Teddy......"

Before the words were finished, Qin Ran clearly heard bursts of roars.

Qin Ran was very sure that it was the roar of the dead!

Then, Sheriff Teddy's voice rang out.

"It's the rest of the couple......"

"Hold on to your weapons and go to battle."

"And!"

"A word of advice to you, don't trust to mess with any strangers."

After speaking, Qin Ran hung up the phone.

Listening to the busy tone on the phone, and looking at the remaining couple looking at him, Sheriff Teddy's face became extremely ugly.

Is this 'over to me'?

Teddy couldn't help but curse in his heart.

He thought that Qin Ran should have a better and ingenious way.

Who knows, it turned out to be a battle.

Although this kind of direct combat is more suitable for him than hiding and guessing, isn't it a bit too big to face two at a time?

Looking at the couple who were originally very affectionate and had very soft faces, their faces became pale and purple, and their eyes became cloudy, and Teddy had a headache.

One, he asked himself if he could barely deal with it.

Two?

Without hesitation, Teddy shouted at the rest of the crowd—

"Go to the kitchen and find the gas canister!"

……

"How?"

Mimosa poked her head out of the kitchen curiously.

"It's nothing, Teddy is in a little trouble."

"As long as you deal with it calmly, he won't be in trouble."

Qin Ran replied.

When Mimosa heard it was Teddy, she immediately lost interest and returned to the kitchen to prepare tomorrow's food.

And Qin Ran?

As he said, he believed that it was impossible for Teddy's professional experience to defeat just two newborn dead men fighting with weapons at their disposal.

And not everyone is a mimosa, and it will be so timid that it is worth his concern.

Just in case, though.

Qin Ran still called Bane.

"You said it was the 'Shoshi Hot Spring Hotel'?"

"Pine is the pine of a pine?"

"A stone is a stone of stone?"

On the phone, the herdsman who had just left spoke in a strange tone.

"Hmm."

"That's right."

"Are there any of your guys there?"

Qin Ran asked.

"It's our people."

Bane emphasized.

"Well, our people."

Qin Ran looked down at the money bag that he had been holding in his hand and did not refute.

Since he promised to represent the Eastern District in the 'Winter Night War' in Ai, he will not go back.

"Don't worry, if it's there, there will definitely be no big deal."

Bane was very satisfied with Qin Ran's answer, and immediately said with a smile.

Qin Ran clearly heard the strong smell of schadenfreude.

"Isn't it going to be a big deal?"

Qin Ran continued to ask in order to be sure.

"It's literal."

"That friend of yours will definitely not be in danger of life, but the nose and face are swollen and the like, but it is inevitable."

Bane laughed.

"You mean?"

Qin Ran's eyes narrowed, and speculation appeared in his eyes.

"I didn't say anything."

"I don't want to be remembered by that adult."

"Luo Yan, you don't know anything, just just helping your friends, you know?"

Bane admonished.

"Yes."

Qin Ran said affirmatively, but the speculation in his eyes did not disperse.

Really......

Are there any higher-level characters?

Recalling what Bane had said before about the 'Winter Night War', after hanging up the phone, Qin Ran began to choose to 'absorb' the power of Yindu Qian without hesitation.

20 silver coins are not a small amount for Qin Ran at this moment.

According to the conversion of 1 silver coin to 30 copper coins, 20 silver coins are 600 copper coins, and when the spiritual attribute B- breaks through to B level, the copper coin required is only about 60 coins.

Even, according to rough calculations, exceeding one deceased is a copper coin.

And now that he has 600 Tongdu coins in hand, he has almost gained more than Qin Ran's sudden attack last night.

In fact, this is also true.

[Spiritual attribute breaks through a layer of seal, B+→A-]

[Strength, agility, constitution, and perception break through the three-layer seal, C+→B+]

……

A breakthrough in the seal of the spiritual attribute cost the most 200 copper coins.

The remaining four attributes have broken through three layers in a row, and each attribute only costs 100 copper coins.

Moreover, after stepping into the B level, the copper money required has changed qualitatively, otherwise the cost will only be less.

Feeling the body changing again, Qin Ran once again used the breathing method of the Dawn Knight Body Forging Technique to quickly adapt himself.

Of course, he didn't do nothing in the process.

I still keep reading posture.

It's just a lot slower.

While adapting and adjusting his body, reading and recording is not a simple matter, even for Qin Ran at this moment.

And it wasn't until Mimosa brought breakfast out of the kitchen that Qin Ran put down the newspaper in his hand.

"Sheep soup?"

Smelling the unique aroma of mutton, Qin Ran couldn't help but smile.

What could be a more appropriate breakfast than lamb soup on a cold morning?

Naturally, it was a mutton soup made of mimosa.

Verdant shallots and coriander have long been spread on top of the milky white mutton soup.

A piece of mutton cut into a crescent-shaped shape is neatly spread on the vermicelli, looming in the soup, and in a small dish next to the mutton soup bowl, two golden twist flowers, placed in it, the white porcelain plate, more and more set off the coveting and attractive golden twist flowers.

Click.

After Qin Ran took a sip of the soup first, he couldn't wait to pick up the twist flower and take a bite.

Crispy, wrapped in the fragrance of sesame seeds, Qin Ran couldn't help but chew a few more times before scooping up a spoonful of mutton soup and putting it in his mouth.

In an instant, the salty soup blooms on the taste buds.

Sheep soup and twist flowers become perfect at this moment.

Qin Ran put the soup spoon aside, picked up the bowl, took a big sip, and the chopsticks in his hand picked up the mutton and vermicelli.

Suck and suck.

As if eating noodles, the lamb and vermicelli in the bowl are quickly drained.

And the soup is even more goo-dong, goo-dong bottoming out.

"One more bowl."

Qin Ran handed the bowl to Mimosa.

With a smile on her face, Mimosa entered the kitchen with a bowl in her hand.

Bowl after bowl.

The body recovered part of Qin Ran again, and his appetite became better.

Thankfully, mimosas make a little more each time.

When the mutton soup in the pot bottomed out, Qin Ran narrowed his eyes with satisfaction, let out a long breath, and after resting for about a few minutes, Qin Ran stood up, picked up the bowl and walked to the back kitchen.

Mimosa walked out the door and turned the blackboard.

Closed of business.

The morning sun rises again.

Facing the rising sun, Mimosa stretched her waist, and after a simple sweep of the front of the door with her hands and feet, she closed the door of the restaurant.

The day of the ordinary person has started again.

But it's also time for night owls to rest.

Early risers are in good spirits.

People who go to bed late sleep peacefully.

Life is different.

Choose differently.

As for the good or the bad?

No one knows what's going on with anyone else.

Some things are really like people drinking water and knowing themselves.

More?

What came out of the forced question was just a normal rhetoric under a mask.

How can it be true.

If you have a point, it's amazing.

Therefore, Qin Ran never forced to ask for secrets from other people's mouths.

Of course, this man does not include enemies.

Because of this, Qin Ran hoped that others would respect his living habits.

At about twelve o'clock in the afternoon—

Bang, bang!

There was a knock on the door of Ye Zhi's restaurant.

No, normal knocking, but a violent smash.

Looking at the mimosa that opened its eyes in a daze, Qin Ran pressed the mimosa back to the bed as soon as he raised his hand.

"You sleep."

"I'll take a look."

With that, he walked downstairs with his long sword.

Bang, bang.

The knocking continued, Li Jiajia almost crawled on the door, her hand was already red and swollen from the knock, but she still didn't give up.

She knew that only this place could save her.

For the only hope of life, she will not give up.

Again, Li Jiajia raised her hand and was ready to knock on the door again.

But this time, as soon as the hand was raised, the door opened.

Suddenly, Li Jiajia stumbled and fell into the store, and when she was about to fall to the floor, she saw Qin Ran out of the corner of her eye.

Subconsciously, Li Jiajia raised her hand and grabbed Qin Ran's clothes.

Qin Ran took a step back expressionlessly.

Li Jiajia suddenly caught it.

"Ahh

With an exclamation, Li Jiajia fell on the wooden floor that had just been re-paved.

There were bursts of moans in her mouth, Li Jiajia looked at Qin Ran, and opened her mouth to say something, but before she could speak, she saw the [Sharp Standard Sword] glowing with cold light, and when it came to her mouth, it naturally became-

"Sorry to bother you."

"But I really can't help it."

"I'll come to you."

As she spoke, Li Jiajia got up from the ground, with a thick pleading on her face, she stood on the other side of Qin Ran, dodging the blade of the [Sharp Standard Sword], and then continued: "I was cursed!" Please help me! ”

Qin Ran ignored the other party's words.

He walked over to the bar, plugged in the phone line, and dialed Bane's number.

The matter of the school in District 11 has already been handed over to Bane, and the other party has assured him that there will be no follow-up trouble.

To put it simply, Li Jiajia can't remember what happened that night.

But now, Li Jiajia is here.

Qin Ran thinks that Bane should be responsible for such a thing, including disturbing him and Mimosa to rest.

Moments later, Bane appeared at the Ye no Restaurant.

Looking at Li Jiajia who was standing there, surprise flashed across Bane's face.

The memory of the other party is clear to him with his own hands.

Also, it was confirmed at the time.

And now?

The other party not only appeared in Ye Zhi's restaurant, but after seeing him, his eyes were a little evasive.

Suddenly, Bane guessed something.

"You were in disguise?"

Bane blurted out.

Such words made Qin Ran glance at Li Jiajia in surprise.

If you want to avoid the amnestics of the [amnestic], the method is not too much, but the simplest and most direct is to reach E+ and above in spiritual attributes.

E+ is the limit of an average person.

Very few people are able to reach this level.

Qin Ran didn't expect that a female high school student who looked inconspicuous would actually reach it.

Compared with Qin Ran's glance, Bane's reaction was not slow.

"You're Ektis?"

Bane asked.

Facing Bane's inquiry, Li Jiajia hid behind Qin Ran with a vigilant expression.

"Are you the hunters of urban legends who devour people's memories?"

Li Jiajia asked.

"Urban legends?"

"Nonsense."

"Even if we're hunters who devour people's memories, what about him?"

"He's one of us, too!"

Bane frowned, obviously thinking of some bad rumors, and immediately pointed at Qin Ran angrily and said.

"Him?"

"He's different!"

"He's the patron saint of my night—the raven!"

Sister Li said as a matter of course.

Crow?

Qin Ran's eyebrows furrowed.

Bane snorted disdainfully.

"Another little girl who is confused by the so-called urban legends, where is the so-called guardian saint?"

"The patron saint of the night in your mouth is nothing more than a powerful 'herd'."

"And...... What the hell is that 'crow'? ”

Bane's words made Li Jiajia's face flush.

Not shame, but anger.

"You are not allowed to insult the crow!"

She wanted to rush to hit Bane, but in the end she hid behind Qin Ran and yelled, moreover, in order to prove that she was not talking nonsense.

Li Jiajia took out a book that had been in her schoolbag.

It was a brick-thick book that required both hands to hold.

The book is blood-red and branded with a black ......

Crow.
