Chapter 25: Paul 'Omitted'
"Paul!"
"The third victim to be eaten by a beast!"
"I need all the information about him, the more detailed the better!"
Qin Ran said.
Paul, the only 'special' among the five victims, really caught Qin Ran's attention.
Moreover, Qin Ran had a rough guess!
Of course, without an exact understanding, Qin Ran would not make any more assumptions for the time being.
Because, that will only affect his most objective analysis and evaluation.
The preconceived horror is very well understood.
In Qin Ran's opinion, it was one of the vices that was no less inferior than 'habit'.
"Paul?"
"Okay, wait a minute!"
Mr. Big was a little puzzled by Qin Ran's request.
Not only the third victim, Paul, but all the victims of the 'beast cannibalism' incident he had studied in detail.
But nothing was found.
However, this did not prevent him from doing what Qin Ran said.
Ten minutes later, Mr. Big reappeared, holding two thick leather bags in his hands.
"From the time Paul entered the orphanage until he died, it was all in it!"
"It's all I can gather!"
"Do you need the other four?"
Mr. Big patted the cowhide bag and said.
"Thanks, not for now!"
Qin Ran smiled and raised his hand and opened the two cowhide bags.
The materials in the two leather bags are organized according to the date and time, and the axis of Paul's growth in 20 years.
One of them shows all of Paul's experiences as a child in an orphanage, then as a teenager, and as a young adult, including but not limited to schooling, club activities, and falling in love.
The other is a collection of miscellaneous things about Paul, including more relationships outside of school.
Qin Ran looked at them one by one, and found nothing special.
The other side is neither the smartest nor the stupidest. But the grades are very good, except for being an orphan, a little withdrawn, not good at communicating with others, and ordinary people are no different.
When he was a teenager, he also had an idol to worship, and he had a love affair that ended in a young age.
After going to college, because of the increase in expenses, I began to work more than one job.
However, the results are still very good, and he is the recipient of the scholarship every year.
Removed because of the status of an orphan. Aside from the need to support oneself, Paul's experience was ordinary.
However, Qin Ran did not give up because of this.
He continued to scrutinize until he reached the last page.
That was the end of Paul's life.
A photo of only the left arm.
The arm in the photograph is mutilated, with no palms and no part above the elbow, only the forearm.
But even then, the forearm was a blur of flesh and blood, with only a few fragmented character tattoos. It's fairly clear.
It is precisely because of these fragmented characters that people confirm Paul's identity.
Qin Ran was not surprised that there would be a clear mark on Paul's arm, and only in this way could he meet his initial guess.
But. When Qin Ran saw these character tattoos clearly, his eyes narrowed.
He recognized these characters.
It's not that you recognize it because you get a temporary language!
It's because ......
【Mystery Knowledge】!
The characters in front of him, Qin Ran can completely use [Mysterious Knowledge] to read, and even pronounce the corresponding pronunciation. But I couldn't understand what it meant.
Because, they are not complete.
It's only part of a meaning.
Each of the words with a specific meaning in "Mystery Knowledge" is lengthy and complex. There are not only words but also symbols, and even some simple points that ordinary people can't understand.
And just like any other language, any slight change will make the meaning of the whole word go wrong.
It's the same with mystical knowledge.
'Burning' and 'Frozen' are only two characters that are different, and there are as many as fourteen characters that compose them, that is, the remaining twelve characters are exactly the same.
So, these characters are not only mysterious, but they are also extremely difficult to learn.
But it was such mysterious, hard-to-learn knowledge that appeared on Paul's arm in the form of a tattoo.
Qin Ran really felt a little incredible.
"Paul orchestrated this 'beast cannibalism' incident?"
"And, that huge magic array?"
Qin Ran guessed.
However, he immediately shook his head.
He trusted Mr. Big's intelligence network.
Since Mr. Big has confirmed that Sphendix has no relationship with Paul, then Paul cannot be associated with Sphindick.
Both openly and covertly.
Unless, Paul can change his face.
Otherwise, you will definitely not be able to hide the eyeliner that Mr. Big has placed in Sphingdick.
And, there's something even more important!
If Qin Ran's guess is true, it needs to be built on a foundation: Paul has a considerable level of [mystical knowledge] and knows how to construct one or several complete magic arrays.
This is somewhat unlikely for a person who was born as an orphan and was only twenty years old.
A person who is not very smart will have to put in more effort if he wants to maintain very good grades in school.
And under this premise, learn [mysterious knowledge] again, and then, you have to work part-time on your own.
This is beyond the scope of a normal person's energy and physical strength.
Qin Ran, who has a similar background, has experienced a similar experience.
At that time, not to mention that he maintained very good grades, even if he could barely keep up with the progress of his studies, it was thankful.
Therefore, Qin Ran simply applied for withdrawal and spent more time on part-time work.
Especially to learn [Mystery Knowledge]!
Qin Ran, who possessed the mastery level [Mysterious Knowledge], knew how difficult it was to master this skill.
If you learn that complex, mysterious, and jerky knowledge in a normal way, not to mention distraction, even if you concentrate on learning, it is extremely difficult to reach a comparable level at Paul's age.
Not to mention knowing how to construct one or several complete magic arrays.
Because it's no longer something that can be solved by self-study, someone has to teach it.
At least, in Qin Ran's proficient level [Mysterious Knowledge], there was not a single description related to spells.
That is to say: someone taught!
"Someone taught Paul?"
"Or did Paul see it, be influenced by someone or something, and put it on his forearm as a tattoo?"
The thoughts that emerged in his heart made Qin Ran almost subconsciously start to look through the information and photos that belonged to Paul before.
He wanted to find someone who might teach and influence Paul's occult knowledge, and to identify the character on his left arm.
But the result disappointed Qin Ran.
The information collected does not show anyone who was particularly close to Paul and could have taught or influenced Paul.
There are quite a few pictures of Paul.
But most of them are photos of formal suits and leather shoes, and there are no photos of life.
Referring to the previous orphan status, the comments of the withdrawn personality seem to be normal.
But after a few characters appear, it looks unusual.
"Intentional cover-up?"
Qin Ran guessed uncertainly.
Then, Qin Ran raised his hand and rubbed his swollen temples.
originally thought that he had found a clue, but this clue took him in a circle and returned to the original point again.
Even, he simply overturned Qin Ran's original assumption.
"Why on earth would you want to do that?"
Qin Ran muttered to himself in a low voice.
