"There was an earthquake!"

"There was an earthquake!"

Outside the room Emma. Eddie shouted in panic, and the 'Frozen One', 'Blood Man', and Ge Lan stood still, their eyes fixed on Qin Ran.

For the three of them, as long as Qin Ran sat here, let alone an earthquake, even if a volcano erupted under their feet, they wouldn't move.

However, Emma. Add is different.

As soon as she pushed the door open, she was about to remind everyone to leave.

It's just that at the moment of entering the room, looking at Qin Ran who was sitting firmly on the sofa and the three of them who were standing still, Emma. Eddie was stunned, but the girl who reacted immediately was about to pull Qin Ran, who was sitting there.

"It's an earthquake, hurry up!"

Emma. Eddie said.

"If it really reaches the level of a catastrophic earthquake, do you think that with your strength, you will be able to push open the door just now?"

Qin Ran raised his hand and flashed over Emma. Eddie grabbed the palm of his hand and asked rhetorically.

"......"

"An earthquake that doesn't reach catastrophic levels is far safer in a room than if you walk on the road, after all, you won't encounter some driver who is panicking and controlling a car rushing towards you."

Subconsciously, Emma. Eddie wanted to say something, but his words were interrupted by Qin Ran.

And after Qin Ran's words fell, the shaking of the ground disappeared.

Everything in the room was back to normal.

Feel the vibrations disappear, Emma. Add breathed a sigh of relief.

In the face of nature's wrath, no one can fail to tremble.

Of course, one guy is an exception.

Emma. Eddie glanced at Qin Ran, who was as steady as Mount Tai, and felt a burst of chagrin when he thought of the panic he had just had.

Obviously she cares, why did she become like a clown?

"Humph, man!"

Let out an awkward snort, Emma. Add walked out of the room quickly.

When the door closed, the girl from the street couldn't help but cover her face.

She felt her embarrassment herself.

"No way!"

"I can't go on like this!"

"I need to make myself stronger, at least not ......"

Thinking of the three 'Freezers' in the room who had just behaved without the slightest panic, Emma. Add felt more and more like a defeated dog.

Ran away from the room with his tail between his legs, not even qualified to stand beside the guy.

It's a really bad taste.

Whew, whew!

Continuously taking deep breaths, Emma. After forcing herself to calm down, Add made her way to her room.

Qin Ran clearly sensed Emma. Eddie's movements outside the door, but he paid no attention to them.

The two parties are only collaborators, and he will not interfere with any actions of the other party until his interests are harmed, and in the same way, he will not let the other party interfere with himself.

"Fries, I'll leave it to you for the time being."

As he spoke, Qin Ran stood up and walked to the door.

Although the earthquake just now did not shake much, the direction of the epicenter was the Smallville neighborhood.

Since he was in Akander City, Qin Ran couldn't turn a blind eye.

Even Dresden and others were there.

But Qin Ran has long been used to it, and everything depends on himself.

"Yes, sir."

Seeing Qin Ran go away, the three 'Frozen Ones' bowed and saluted.

……

Small Neighborhood, Deep.

Dresden stood side by side with the 'knight' in front of a huge pothole.

The two of them looked at the pit with serious expressions.

Just now, a sudden vibration caused the ground to collapse, forming the crater in front of me.

If it were all that, it would only be classified as an ordinary subsidence, but the cold aura coming from this crater that could make ordinary people freeze tells Dresden and the 'knight' that this crater is far from being as simple as it seems.

What's more, to Dresden's and the 'Knight''s frown, the pit was shrouded in a layer of supernatural darkness, and with their eyesight, they couldn't see what was inside.

So, to be on the safe side, the duo asked all the normal people who were cleaning up the neighborhood to start retreating, while the duo stayed behind to check on the potholes for changes.

"This is the setup of the 'Dragons of Resentment'?"

Dresden guessed, but then shook his head.

Although the 'Resentful Dragon' is tyrannical, it does not have the coldness in front of him, the coldness of the other party, and more of the accumulation of killing.

'The death knell' is similar.

On the contrary, it is similar to the coldness of 'Mr. Evil Spirit'.

But Mr. Evil Ghost is already dead.

Died at the hands of his friend.

"Do you need to inform Your Excellency the Gluttonous King?"

Obviously, the 'knight' also thought of Qin Ran in this gloomy aura.

"Not for the time being, 2567 is too tired from the previous battle, he needs to rest to deal with what may happen in the future, those bastards won't admit defeat so easily."

Dresden thought for a moment and waved his hand.

The 'knight' did not refute.

Although the transcendent surpasses ordinary humans, they are still injured and tired.

Facing the 'Dragon of Resentment' and 'Death Knell' alone, even the 'Gluttonous King' will not be safe and sound, and it will inevitably be damaged, and it is even more normal for him to be physically exhausted or something.

Rest is the right choice.

"Where's the mechanic?"

"I need his support here."

Dresden asked with a high-powered walkie-talkie.

But there was no answer, only the rustling of electricity.

Dresden frowned, and he tapped hard, but the rustling of electricity remained the same.

"It should be that this pothole has an impact, I'll stay away."

Dresden said to the 'knight'.

"Okay, I'll stay here."

The Knight nodded.

Dresden walked quickly away from the edge of the pothole, but the walkie-talkie in his hand still did not have any signal, and after walking two or three hundred meters, the walkie-talkie returned to normal.

"Mechanic, mechanic?"

Dresden shouted into the walkie-talkie.

"Boss."

The voice of the 'mechanic' came over the intercom.

"I need your help."

Dresden said succinctly.

"Coming soon."

The mechanic replied.

Having received an affirmative answer, Dresden took the walkie-talkie and began to walk back, but right away, Dresden noticed that something was wrong.

The 'knight' is gone!

Before he spoke to the 'Mechanic', Dresden also saw the 'Knight'!

He was sure that the other party was standing by the edge of the pit in the last moment, just as he had left it.

What happened?

Dresden, who had a bad premonition in his heart, did not hesitate and quickly rushed back to the edge of the pit.

"Knights? Knight? ”

Dresden shouted loudly.

Eventually, my eyes were on the pothole.

There is an unobstructed view of the surroundings, and the only thing that is suspicious is this pothole.

"Was the knight forced into the pit?"

Dresden guessed.

The reason why it is said to be forced is because Dresden knows the 'knight' very well, as the oldest one in the camp of the righteous transcendents, the 'knight' not only has extremely rich life experience and combat experience, but also has a reliable and calm character, and will never do anything reckless.

Therefore, when the 'knight' says to stay here, he must be able to guard, rather than actively exploring the pothole.

Now that the 'knight' is gone, he can only be forced into the pit.

If that's the case......

Dresden's face became unusually solemn.

Although the 'knight' is older, his strength is not weak, on the contrary, the more and more extraordinary sword skills have already made up for the 'knight's physical strength that is gradually depleted due to age, and a special armor makes the 'knight'' defense quite strong, even in the face of a super criminal like the 'Resentful Dragon', it is impossible to be powerless.

Not to mention......

He's not far away!

With just a shout, he will be able to support the other party.

But what about the facts?

Don't say it's a shout, the 'knight' himself disappeared without a sound.

"What's going on?"

The clueless situation made Dresden anxious, and he could only rely on deep breaths to force himself to calm down, but at this moment-

"Help, help!"

A faint cry came from the pit.

It's the voice of a 'knight'.

Dresden didn't have time to think when he heard the voice, and after writing 'I'm going to save people' on the ground at the edge of the crater, Dresden jumped into the black hole.

In an instant, supernatural darkness engulfed Dresden.

And the words that Dresden had written on the ground were like carved words, and they were quickly corroded, and when the wind blew, nothing was left.

……

"Dresden and the knights are missing?"

After Qin Ran heard the description of 'Catwoman', he raised his eyebrows.

And the 'Catwoman' came up to Qin Ran and wanted to lick Qin Ran.

Qin Ran raised his hand and pressed the other party's head, and after clearly expressing his refusal, Catwoman crawled in front of Qin Ran like this.

"Meow is very unhappy."

"Meow has a little emotion."

"Meow needs small dried fish to get up."

'Catwoman' said angrily.

Qin Ran didn't look at the other party, and turned his head to look at the 'mechanic' who was operating multiple instruments and using them to find the whereabouts of Dresden and the 'knights'.

"Just like Catwoman said, there was an inexplicable earthquake just now, and Dresden, who was in charge of searching this area, and the knights lost contact directly after the earthquake."

"Catwoman, the Fortress, and the Master of Weapons and I rushed here right away, but we didn't find anything."

"There is no trace left."

"And now, too."

As the 'mechanic' spoke, the whole person turned his body sideways, allowing Qin Ran to see the multiple screens in front of him more directly.

Qin Ran looked at these screens.

Almost the entire Smallville neighborhood is encompassed.

"They haven't been altered, have they?"

Qin Ran asked.

"Nope."

"My ability is directly applied to the machine, and if other transcendent beings use their transcendent powers to invade, I will be able to detect it immediately."

'The mechanic' affirmed.

"Hmm."

Qin Ran nodded, and his gaze left the multiple screens and looked at the ground.

In everything that has been done, there will be traces.

Can not see?

It's just that the eyes are not good enough, or the thinking is in the wrong direction.

Qin Ran has always believed so.

Now is no exception.

In his transcendent [Tracking] vision, he found no trace of Dresden and the 'Knight', but he found something else.

Drifting like smoke, it exudes a cold black aura.

This black color quickly dissipated in the air, like the sun melting snow, and soon, it disappeared completely.

However, this was enough for Qin Ran.

Because, he saw the source of these black smokes.

Just a short distance ahead......

Ground floor.

Qin Ran walked over, and did not go directly to the most core position, he walked around the edge, carefully inspecting.

The 'Mechanic', 'Fortress', and 'Weapon Master' immediately followed.

As for 'Catwoman'?

After discovering that Qin Ran ignored her and seemed to have found something interesting, the feline's curiosity made her simply get up from the ground and run over.

"Meow? Meow? ”

"What's here...... Meow! ”

The 'Catwoman' who came over suddenly let out a piercing meow, and the whole person retreated again and again.

"What's wrong?"

'Mechanics' the three asked hurriedly.

"There's something terrible here!"

"Hurry up and get out of Meow!"

The 'Catwoman', whose hair was about to stand up, finished speaking very quickly, and ran directly out of a long distance, in the trust of her partner, the three 'mechanics' immediately followed and retreated, but Qin Ran did not move.

"Pavilion 2567...... Well?! ”

The 'mechanic' subconsciously wanted to persuade Qin Ran, but before he could finish his words, the 'mechanic''s eyes widened.

Because, Qin Ran disappeared!

Qin Ran, who was still in his field of vision at the last moment, disappeared like this.

Moreover, it's not just Qin Ran.

The fastest reacting 'Catwoman', 'Fortress', and 'Weapon Master' are all gone.

Suddenly, the 'mechanic' became suspicious.

And at this time-

Bang!

The ground not far ahead began to crumble.

A large crater came into view of the 'mechanic'.

A cold, shivering aura emerged from the pit, and the 'mechanic' struggled to see what was inside, but a supernatural darkness made it impossible for him to see clearly.

Instinctively, the 'mechanic' held the gun at his waist.

The oak pistol handle gave the 'mechanic' a slight sense of relief.

But, then, the 'mechanic' threw the gun out of his hand as if he had touched a femme fatale.

Rumble!

The pistol exploded like a grenade.

The 'mechanic', who could only assume a defensive stance, fell straight into the crater under the shock wave of the explosion and disappeared.

……

"Where's the mechanic?"

The retreating 'fortress' suddenly spoke.

The 'Weapon Master' paused, and the 'Catwoman' in the distance let out a series of panicked 'meow' meows.

"Calm down!"

"There's weirdness here!"

The age of the 'Knight' gave 'Weapon Master' more experience than his younger generation, and at least at this time, he was not panicked by the disappearance of 'Mechanic'.

The 'Weapon Master' looked around, and his eyes couldn't help but flash a hint of admiration as he swept over Qin Ran in the distance.

When he was Qin Ran's age, he was not so calm.

Undoubtedly, this young man is not only powerful, but also very ......

The word 'rely on' was still brewing in the heart of the 'weapon master', and before he could say it, the elderly superhero saw Qin Ran raise his left hand, and a scorching flame appeared in the palm of his hand.

Then, the flame smashed the ground under Qin Ran's feet.

Rumble!

The scorching waves rolled in all directions, the roar did not move, and the shaking of the earth reappeared, unlike the previous earthquake, this time it was really shaking the mountains.

The earth was torn apart, and cracks were hideously revealed.

And Qin Ran, who had just smashed the flames on the ground and made such a big move, disappeared.

In its place was a tall, toothy, hideous black monster.

When the 'weapon master' who quickly stabilized his body saw the scene in front of him, he immediately, couldn't help it, and spit out the word that was holding in his heart.

"Damn!"
