Chapter Twenty-Three: The Night Seed (2nd Watch)
The fat captive, looking at Qin Jie with his palm wrapped in electric light, the whole person couldn't help but take two steps back, and a look of fear appeared on his face.
And the other party's mouth came out of a whimper sound similar to the lingua franca of the world in front of him, but with a little difference.
"Slang?"
Qin Ran guessed, and said tentatively: "Can you understand my words?" ”
The fat captive nodded, then shook his head.
This ambiguous answer made Qin Ran frown.
And at this time, Herbert walked out.
"If you don't mind, let me try!"
The scholar said.
"Of course!"
Qin Ran nodded, sideways out of the way, his eyes fixed on the fat captive, once the other party moved, he would make a move as soon as possible.
However, to Qin Ran's surprise, facing Herbert, who walked over with a smile on his face, the fat captive who had been struggling was quiet.
"What is this?"
Qin Ran looked at Herbert in surprise.
The scholar was speaking at a very slow pace with the fat captive.
"Calm down, rest assured, no one here is going to hurt you!"
"Good, good."
"Tell me, your name!"
"No, I don't have a name......"
"Is that so?"
"And where are you from?"
"No, I don't know."
……
With the communication between the two, Qin Ran finally understood the words of the fat captive.
Where is the slang, it is completely the lingua franca.
It's just that there is something wrong with the other party's vocal cords or tongue, which makes the sound become the previous whimper.
Moreover, more importantly, Qin Ran found that the other party didn't seem to have a high level of intelligence.
"Is it a disguise? Still is? ”
Qin Ran was skeptical.
But as Herbert untied the chains on the other party's body, and then, when the other party followed Herbert very obediently, Qin Ran gave up his doubts.
At the same time, Qin Ran's heart sank.
He thought of the 'layout' of the dark sub room yesterday.
"That trap was carefully selected by the other party!"
"The big guy in front of him is also carefully selected as a 'bait'!"
Qin Ran can fully imagine that according to the plan of the 'layout person'-
When fighting a big guy with rough skin and no pain, but with a simple mind, it is difficult to communicate normally, and he is extremely angry, the other party will inevitably use weapons.
Once the weapon is used, pressing the green flame trap will inevitably trigger.
With the entanglement of the big guy, the other party will definitely not be able to escape smoothly.
The end result is naturally self-evident.
The only thing that the 'layout man' didn't calculate was probably the degree of anger and recklessness of the big guy.
"It's a pity!"
Qin Ran looked at the big guy who followed Herbert with a harmless face and came to the cook's side to take the breakfast, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Admittedly, nothing can be asked from the mouth of a person of low intelligence.
However, a person with such a fat body is conspicuous everywhere.
As long as it is seen, a little inquiry will be able to get accurate information.
If you follow the vine, it is not impossible to find the whereabouts of the 'layout person'.
The only thing that made Qin Ran uneasy were those mercenaries and bounty hunters who came to apply.
He would certainly not be able to leave Herbert's side until he had completed the screening of the guards, or even found those with ulterior motives.
A possible side quest and an aboriginal folk related to the main quest, Qin Ran can clearly distinguish which is more important.
"If it's just to inquire about the news, Cofen can do it well!"
"He would bring me newspapers every day, and today will be no exception!"
Herbert, who had calmed down the big guy, walked in front of Qin Ran again, and said kindly while inviting Qin Ran to breakfast.
Just ten minutes later, Coffin brandished a newspaper and walked into Herbert's residence.
After asking Qin Ran for his request, and hearing that Qin Ran was willing to teach some martial arts basics, the young man immediately patted his chest and agreed.
I didn't even have time to finish breakfast before I ran back to the city.
"You'd better remember your promise!"
"Coffin adores you!"
After seeing her companions leave, Joanna walked to Qin Ran's side and said.
"Why did you say thank you before?"
After a pause, the girl asked.
"Because, I was stuck in a situation that shouldn't have been what I should be thinking about now, and your screams woke me up from doing useless work."
Qin Ran explained simply.
He couldn't explain in detail everything he had encountered.
But such a simple answer is true.
Unfortunately, the girl did not believe such an answer.
"That's easy to say!"
The girl snorted softly and turned away.
However, after walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped.
"Thank you!"
After the other party said this sentence again, he walked towards the cook no longer stopping.
Leaving Qin Ran, who was slightly stunned.
"It's unpredictable!"
Qin Ran commented on the girl like this, and then looked at Herbert, who was watching everything with the eyes of an elder.
He now had a lot of questions he wanted to ask the scholar.
The 'mutation' between Culkin and the other coachman.
And when facing the big guy, Herbert's kind of reason for being sure that the big guy won't hurt him.
all made Qin Ran care.
"Night Seed!"
"The changes between Culkin and the coachman are very much in line with the monsters from the legend of the Nick Dynasty - they possess intelligence no less than that of humans, and they are good at disguising themselves as humans, and when they die, they will turn into green juice!"
"Invulnerability is also very much in line with your description."
"It once ravaged the coast of the Nick Dynasty, but was finally wiped out by the dynasty's army!"
"There are only two things I care about!"
"First: Night planting cannot maintain its normal form when it is in pain!"
"Second: the night species should be the same as the human reproduction pattern, and there is no possibility of 'mutation'!"
Facing Qin Ran's doubts, Herbert answered.
"Night Seed is planning to make a comeback?"
"If that's the case, then Culkin is a good target, right?"
Qin Ran muttered softly to himself.
But there are some speculations in my heart.
"Who knows?"
"Thanks to the blessing of living long enough, my eyes can distinguish between good and evil in a simple-minded person, but it definitely does not include a guy like Culkin, or a monster like the Night Seed!"
Herbert shrugged.
"But you've helped me enough!"
"At least, this is the first time I've heard of 'Night Seed'!"
Qin Ran said with a smile.
"It's just a coincidence."
"You should be glad it comes from the legends of the Nick Dynasty, if it's something else?"
"I can't help it!"
As he spoke, the old scholar walked towards the big guy who had been staring at the place, and the other party was holding an empty pot and kept whimpering at the old scholar.
That means for a reason.
Qin Ran walked towards the outside of his residence, where the guards were screened.
He found that he could have an easier way to screen the guards.
In other words, add a selection process for the selection of guards.
And as Qin Ran approached.
There was a slight commotion among the selected mercenaries and bounty hunters.
Several of the objects that Qin Ran was focusing on made eye contact again.
Their palms touched their respective weapons.
