Chapter 1: Abandoned Streets
Three hours later, Qin Ran and Lawless met again at the station outside the Harvest Tavern. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Are you ready?"
Lawless asked, with an unconcealed apology in his tone.
"Of course!"
"But if you could throw away that look like you owe me a million, I think I'll be better prepared!"
Qin Ran said with a smile.
He hoped that with such words, he would dispel the guilt of lawlessness.
He knew what lawlessness thought, it was nothing more than his own affairs, but he dragged his friends into it, and he had to bear great dangers together.
Such a thing is really uncomfortable and unwilling to accept lawlessness.
But if he was allowed to take risks alone, Qin Ran would also be uncomfortable and unwilling to accept it.
Qin Ran knew what he was going to do.
He also knew that it would put him in danger.
But the help of lawlessness in the past doomed him to be unable to sit idly by.
Not to mention......
Isn't that what friends should be at this time?
"You know ......"
"Okay, I'll shut up!"
Lawless still wanted to say something, but when he saw Qin Ran's raised middle finger, he immediately shrugged his shoulders with a wry smile.
However, Lawlessness did not shut up as he said.
Instead, he took out two cigars, used an oil-fired lighter, lit them in the most brutal way, and threw one to Qin Ran.
"Got one?"
"It's a lot of work, but it tastes great!"
"Can I refuse?"
Qin Ran looked at the lit cigar in his hand.
Smelling the full-bodied smoke with a hint of spirits, he was sure it was too early for him to try the cigar.
"Of course not!"
"Try it, you'll love it!"
Lawless was sure, and said in an emphatic tone.
Qin Ran frowned, carefully put the cigar to his mouth, and took a puff gently.
Suddenly, a strong and pungent smell poured into his mouth.
Qin Ran coughed irrepressibly.
Even, tears flowed.
"How?"
"Tastes great, doesn't it?"
Lawless slapped Qin Ran's back hard, trying to make Qin Ran feel better, but the words in his mouth made Qin Ran roll his eyes.
If it weren't for making the guy in front of him feel a little better, how could he possibly try a cigar of this level.
The taste of that cigar ...... though.
Doesn't seem to be too bad?
When the cough subsided, Qin Ran could feel a different sensation appear from his body.
It's not the smell, it's not the ethereal smoke.
It's a novelty of trying the unknown.
Under such a sense of freshness, Qin Ran learned to be lawless and put the cigar in his mouth.
"Congratulations, done. Courtesy! ”
Lawless grabbed Qin Ran's shoulders and said with a smile.
For the next few minutes, the two were chatting in a casual manner.
Until, the 'broker' sent a message.
"Old Sterley Street?"
"What's this guy doing?"
Lawless looked at the message sent by the 'broker', and immediately frowned, and then explained the so-called Old Stellai Street for Qin Ran.
Old Stray Street, originally called Stray Street.
It was originally a very prosperous street.
Many players are 'born' there.
At its peak, a street is filled with shops selling everything from food and drink, to weapons and equipment, to enchantments and potions.
It can be said that it is usually a place where all veteran players are concentrated.
Until......
A new veteran player inadvertently provokes the 'witch'.
Then, the entire street was destroyed, and the players who were with it were not immune.
In addition to the players who were lucky enough to stay in their rooms, 20 players died outright, and many more were affected.
When something like this happens, the street of Strel, which was considered ominous, naturally withdraws from view.
A new street appeared, taking its place.
The original Stlay Street was changed to Old Stella Street by the players.
And the new streets?
It's called: Lorence Street.
It is the place where the 'broker' made his fortune in the true sense of the word.
"The old is destroyed, and the new is born, and it happens to fall into the hands of the 'brokers'?"
After listening to the explanation, Qin Ran raised his eyebrows.
The coincidence inside, no matter how he looked at it, felt like a conspiracy.
"It feels like a 'broker' is the ghost, right?"
"Everybody thinks so!"
"If it weren't for the 'witch' who did it, he would definitely be considered the ultimate mastermind behind the scenes! The person who can do it is the 'witch'......"
"Who can command him?"
"In addition, it was indeed the new ignorant guy who provoked the 'witch' at that time, so in the end, what happened on Old Stray Street was considered an accident - and as time went on, nothing changed except that everyone became more and more afraid of the witch!"
Saying that, Lawlessness shrugged his shoulders again.
"Let's go?"
He asked.
"Hmm."
Qin Ran nodded.
Although he still felt that something was wrong in his heart, Qin Ran knew what he should do now.
……
According to the message from the 'broker', they came to a dilapidated street on the edge of a huge city.
If it weren't for the fact that Wutian had told Qin Ran in advance, this was once a bustling street, and he couldn't connect the stinking street in front of him with the word prosperous.
Qin Ran carefully avoided the sewage under his feet.
"It's obviously supposed to be rebuilt, why did it stop halfway through construction?"
Qin Ran looked at the unfinished buildings and asked puzzledly.
"Because of the loss of players!"
"The person who designed the huge city builder program is a very practical guy, with players everything will be business as usual, if the player leaves, then it will be desolate, and after that incident, there are no more players who want to continue to come to Old Sterley Street, lack enough purchasing power, players who want to stay in Old Stirley Street, can't hold on, and move away one after another."
"So, the whole street became what it looked like!"
Lawlessness's tone was full of sighs.
"I see!"
Qin Ran, who knew more about the rules of the game, nodded.
The two of them chose a place that was not so sloppy, upwind, and able to avoid the stench as much as possible, and quietly waited for the next news of the 'broker'.
But this time, the wait seemed a bit long.
For more than ten minutes, there was no news.
Qin Ran and Lawless glanced at each other.
The two of them, who were already wary of the 'broker', felt that something was wrong at the same time in their hearts.
Therefore, when a burst of footsteps rang out, both men entered a combat state.
