Chapter 17: Appetizers
After several unexplained explosions, the city of Eikender has regained its calm.
There are no supercriminals.
There is no daily martial law.
There were no sudden deaths either.
In addition to the fact that the weather was still not good, with light rain and heavy rain every day, the civilians felt that they had finally ushered in a rare calm.
All civilians rejoiced at this.
They thought the good days they had been waiting for for had finally arrived.
Others, however, do not see it that way.
Pudek sat in a roadside café on Ollint Straße, ignoring the rich aroma of coffee on the table and staring straight at Dresden.
"Tell me, what the hell happened to 2567?"
The middle-aged sheriff is not a person who will hide his inner thoughts, especially when facing Dresden, the 'fist of justice', and even asks directly.
"I don't know."
"I've tried to see him several times, but I've been stopped by Fries."
"And ......"
"Langton Street is on constant alert, more than double the alert level before, I think...... Things are not so good with 2567. ”
"I wanted to help, but I was denied."
Dresden shook his head.
After learning the news that the so-called military major had visited Qin Ran, Dresden immediately went to Langtonding Street, but the 'Fist of Justice' not only did not see Qin Ran, but was also turned away by Fries, and from the residual aura around him, it must have happened at that time.
As for what?
Dresden didn't know.
Even if he would visit Qin Ran the following week.
Because, every time, it will be rejected by Fries.
"Sure enough, something happened!"
The middle-aged sheriff said in a deep voice.
In fact, when Qin Ran found him and asked someone to pretend to be him, Pudek had a bad premonition.
However, there was no room for him to refuse.
Because, he was knocked unconscious.
By the time he woke up from his home, everything had become settled.
"What do you know about that major?"
Dresden asked.
"I don't know much."
"Except for knowing that the other party's name is Ukken, who is in charge of the 'Night Squad' in Eikende City, everything else is top secret."
"I'm not qualified to do so."
Helplessness appeared on the face of the middle-aged sheriff.
Is there anything more humiliating than knowing where the clues are, but not being able to verify them?
No!
For a middle-aged sheriff, such a situation is as uncomfortable as a fish in the throat.
"It's not just you, even the mayor, you don't have the right to check the other party."
"The mayor can't either?"
Hearing Dresden's words, the middle-aged sheriff was taken aback.
You know, the new mayor of Eikander is from the House of Lords, and he is not the kind of person who has no roots.
"Not only no, but His Excellency the Mayor should have been reprimanded by the Federation."
"As far as I know, someone will come to Eikande to investigate the cause of the major's death."
Dresden's face became solemn as he spoke.
Obviously, some people in the Federation didn't want to just let his friend go.
Otherwise, the so-called special personnel will not be excluded at all.
"It's too much!"
The middle-aged sheriff slapped the table heavily.
Although Pudek is reckless, impulsive, and has a bad temper, it doesn't mean that he is a fool, he knows very well what the so-called special person is.
Secret Detective!
Or even more brutal, unknown characters!
And these characters all have one thing in common: they are cruel and ruthless.
Thinking of the place where he was angry, Pudek slapped the table hard again.
Thankfully, this is the League of Legends industry, and when Dresden entered, he politely asked everyone away and closed for the time being.
"Don't worry."
"I'll take care of the rest of the matter."
"And ......"
"I'm sorry for what 2567 did."
Dresden said sincerely.
"It's okay."
"As much as I hate what he does, I have to admit that it's the most straightforward and effective."
Being knocked unconscious, the middle-aged sheriff is naturally angry, but the person who knocked him unconscious has survived a great crisis for him, and for the middle-aged sheriff, it is a kindness.
And, obviously, kindness outweighs anger.
What to do, the middle-aged sheriff naturally knows.
"If there's anything you need my help with, please ask."
"As far as you can, you will not give up."
The middle-aged sheriff promised.
"I will."
Dresden nodded.
After that, neither of them had any greetings, and just said goodbye to each other.
After watching the middle-aged sheriff get into the car and leave, Dresden went to Langtonding Street again.
Although he has been rejected eight times in a row, Dresden is not one to give up so easily.
Isn't it eight times?
What is eighty times?
For the sake of 2567, everything is worth it!
Thinking of his friend's bad situation, Dresden quickened his pace.
However, just as he was still some distance away from Langton Street Street, Willis suddenly contacted him.
"Boss, it's not good!"
"There's an accident with 2567!"
Accidentally?!
Dresden was taken aback.
"Where?"
"Near the outskirts of the city."
Dreston, who had been given his position, instantly turned into a bolt of arrows and disappeared into the street.
……
Qin Ran walked out of No. 17 Langtonding Street with a normal face.
At the door was an off-road vehicle, and Fries, Odoc, was standing next to the door.
And behind him, Emma. Even if Eddie tried to hide it, it was with a hint of concern.
Qin Ran walked slowly towards the car.
The pace is steady, but a little slow.
However, if you don't look closely, you can't see it at all.
"Slow down, sir."
Friese pulled the car door and stood on the side and looked at Qin Ran carefully, as if Qin Ran was about to have some accidents, but except for the slight sluggishness of getting into the car, everything was fine.
Immediately, Fries breathed a sigh of relief and walked to the driver's seat, while Odoc opened the co-pilot's door.
"We'll be back soon!"
Odok rolled down the window and yelled at Emma. Add waved his hand.
"Hmm."
Emma. Add nodded slightly, as if she was going to cry the next moment.
Twisting the key, the car shook for a while, and with the sound of the motor, the car drove away smoothly and quickly from Langton Ding Street.
Emma. Eddie watched the car leave until he was completely out of sight, then returned to 17 Langton Ding Street.
After the door closed completely and confirmed from Goran that there was no surveillance, Emma . Add breathed a sigh of relief, and she patted her chest.
"It's tormenting!"
"That guy obviously has nothing to do, so he has to pretend that he is dying, and he has to let me cooperate...... How do I know how to express my grief? ”
"I can only keep recalling the first time I got a dog, and it was lost."
"Thankfully, it's over."
"Otherwise, I'd really have to think that guy for Mike."
Thinking about the acting life of the past week, Emma. Add couldn't help but sigh.
She feels like a dream now.
It's almost impossible to tell whether it's real or unreal.
But there's one thing, Emma. But Add was clear.
She hadn't forgotten the goal she had set just a week earlier.
Hurrying back to the room, she took out the brown leather roll from under her pillow and looked intently at the words and patterns on it, this was her treasure.
It was also the only thing her father left her.
There is a secret hidden in it that can make ordinary people stronger.
At first she didn't believe it.
I just thought it was the usual braggadocio of her braggart daddy.
However, when she inadvertently took it out again to check, she found that the words and patterns on it had changed.
When did it change?
Emma. Eddie couldn't tell.
Roughly when you met that guy, right?
According to the text and graphic description, Emma. Add is on one knee with his right leg, his left hand on his left knee, and his right hand on his chest.
Then, the guy's appearance came back to mind.
At first she was a little unaccustomed to it, but now?
Her breath didn't change at all, everything was as described on the cowhide scroll, remembering her best memories and turning him into strength with her breath.
And the changes that occur also become habits in the breath.
Everything, unconsciously.
……
Sitting in the back seat of the car, Qin Ran pulled the curtains on both sides, and a short arrow appeared in his hand.
[Name: Exorcist Arrow (Abnormal Shape)]
[Type: Weapon]
【Quality:1】
[Attack: 1]
[Attribute: Exorcism (0/1)]
[Special Effect: None]
[Requirements: None]
[Can I bring out this copy: Yes]
[Note: During the Pope's time, the demons that appeared in the world were always the number one enemy of mankind, they were chaotic and chaotic, destroying all the creatures that could be seen, and every encounter would always cause heavy losses to the witchers and knights, so with the help of the craftsman Mordin, the Exorcism Arrow was born!] However, this exorcism arrow is not the same as the actual exorcism arrow......]
……
[Exorcism: Deals lethal damage to creatures that possess or are tainted with demonic power (up to a maximum of 4)]
……
This arrow was the one hidden in the Major's body.
Not to mention the special attributes, the level alone was enough to keep Qin Ran from ignoring, and after adding the attribute of [Exorcism], it made Qin Ran even more jealous.
Tier 4 power was already capable of inflicting damage on him.
Coupled with the attributes against demonic power, a careless one can really cause fatal damage as described by [Exorcism].
However, this did not make Qin Ran change his plans.
On the contrary, Qin Ran became more and more determined in his plan.
Some people subconsciously choose to retreat when faced with difficulties.
Others will choose to rise to the occasion.
Qin Ran is the third type of person.
He not only has to rise to the occasion, but also solves the people and things that have caused him difficulties.
Of course, due caution and caution, Qin Ran does not lack anything at all.
"Mordin."
Looking at the name in the remarks of the [Exorcism Arrow], Qin Ran couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.
The benefits of the Mordine statue to demonic powers are obvious.
If it weren't for the imbalance of power in his body, Qin Ran would have chosen to let the demonic power devour all the Mordin statues, and similarly, the devil's power contained in the Mordin statues is also a fact.
"Pope, Mordin, demons, devils?"
"Interesting."
Qin Ran narrowed his eyes, and his left index finger lightly tapped his knee.
This was Qin Ran's habit when he was thinking.
Fries and Odoc knew this very well, so if there was no need, the two would not bother Qin Ran, but this time was different.
"My lord, they're following."
Looking at the car in the rearview mirror, Fries said, and reached out and waved it back.
Several streaks of freezing air fell on the road, and immediately formed a patch of ice crystals.
The vehicle that was following behind was completely unable to dodge the ice crystals, and immediately, the car's driving path became twisted and turned.
Bang!
Bang bang!
When the first car crashed into a telephone pole on the side of the road, the following vehicles rear-ended and became a mess.
But that doesn't mean it's over!
Just as these cars collided into a ball, several figures suddenly appeared from both sides of the street with a fierce aura, and rushed straight towards the car Qin Ran was sitting in.
Sou!
Without hesitation, Odoc pushed the door open, turning into a cloud of blood mist and flying towards the figures.
Suddenly, these figures were hindered by the blood mist.
Freese, on the other hand, pressed the throttle to the bottom, as if he wanted to get out of the chariot with full horsepower.
However, at the end of the road, a man shrouded in a cloak appears there.
The other party let out a sinister laugh, and as soon as he raised his hand, a basketball-sized fireball appeared in the palm of the opponent's hand, and smashed straight towards the car.
Woo!
The fireball, before it arrived, was so hot that Fries had to jump out of the car and fight with all his might.
"Your Excellency, you go first!"
Fries, whose hands were spewing out frozen air, shouted loudly at Qin Ran.
The car started again, and through the window, it could be seen that the vehicle driven by Qin Ran quickly drove away from the outskirts of the city and drove farther away.
"The game of chasing prey, I really miss it."
"yes!"
"We haven't had this kind of fun in hundreds of years."
"A high-level demon bloodliner, worthy of our shot."
Four figures as red as flames stood on the tall building, looking at the cars that were fading away, and one by one couldn't help but let out a sharp laugh.
Then, they swooped down on the car.
In mid-air, one of them waved at the car.
Suddenly, the moving car just turned off.
"Technology is convenient."
"But it's also vulnerable."
"As long as one of them is destroyed, it can't continue to function."
"So are you, 2567!"
Four figures descended from mid-air and stopped in front of the car, their dark yellow eyes glowing with banter, greed, and undisguised contempt.
A man who just relied on awakening and did not have any inheritance, suddenly became a big man of the so-called powerhouse.
They've seen so much.
But which one escapes their prey?
No!
Not one!
Not before, not in the future!
Perhaps, the demon bloodline in front of him is a little different, but this difference will only make the other party more delicious.
Thinking of the delicacy that was about to appear, Sidao stared at Qin Ran's figure, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
And Qin Ran?
Also swallowing saliva.
Both sides looked at each other as if they had seen a delicacy.
It's just that what the four figures see is a delicious meal.
What Qin Ran saw was an appetizer.
So, he quietly waited for these small dishes to come closer.
And tell yourself, don't be in a hurry.
The big meal is nearby.
No......
Scare it away.
