Chapter 16: Reclaiming a City
In the sound of the lumbar vertebrae shattering, 'Dresden' was almost split in two, and the waist, which was far stronger than that of an adult male, was only less than the thickness of the calf under Qin Ran's strong squeezing.
And Qin Ran, who had done this, did not choose to end.
He slammed Dresden into the ground, stomped on the back of his head, grabbed his legs with both hands, and began to twist Dresden's body as if he were twisting a towel.
Sting!
In the tearing sound, 'Dresden' was truly split in two.
The world in front of me has also been divided into two.
The post-war Smallville neighborhood disappeared and emerged...... Ward!
Looking at the familiar decoration, Qin Ran raised his eyebrows.
It wasn't until he found the window and it was raining lightly outside that Qin Ran breathed a sigh of relief - after experiencing several illusions that were like 'real', Qin Ran roughly figured out the depth of these illusions, although he could create most of the scenes, and even the people he was familiar with in his memory, but there was a certain limit.
Weather!
Heavenly host!
These are the areas that the other party can't create, even in the Smoville neighborhood, the other party tried their best to create a character similar to 'Dresden', but to the sky, they still use the means of 'gunsmoke' to cover it.
However, in order to confirm, Qin Ran still pushed open the window and stretched out his right hand.
Dense, cold raindrops poured on Qin Ran's right hand, and the entire palm of his hand was quickly soaked.
Qin Ran stared at the heavy rain, but when his gaze swept over his palm, he was stunned.
Then, he jerked back his palm and looked towards the back of his right hand.
The weird smiling face, which was originally like a tattoo and was unusually clear, became looming at this time, and the crimson lines around it lost that bright color.
It's like a real fantasy.
A dim, eerie smile.
Qin Ran stared at the weird smiling face on the back of his right hand, there were many guesses in his heart, and subconsciously, he turned on the system prompt.

……
A sufficiently complete hint to inform Qin Ran of everything that happened.
Some of his 'lost' memories, all the way to various illusions, all happened to the 'witch', but what made Qin Ran ponder was why the mark on the back of his hand had just been activated.
Danger is perceived!
This answer appeared in Qin Ran's heart almost instantly.
As for whether a mark can perceive such a thing as danger, there is a similar record in the expert-level [Mysterious Knowledge], although it is vague, but it does exist.
And with the [Mysterious Knowledge] level of the 'Witch', it is not surprising to obtain a method to create such a mark.
However, at this time, Qin Ran did not delve into the [Mysterious Knowledge] level of the 'Witch', and now Qin Ran was reminiscing.
Reminiscing about the part of his 'lost' memory that had happened some time ago.
With Qin Ran's memory, this is not difficult.
What's more, there weren't many things worth caring about in the things he had been exposed to before him.
There are only three pieces in total -
The first is the [Barrier Water] obtained from the 'Rebels'!
Second, his perception has been qualitatively improved!
Third...... He entered the dungeon world in front of him!
Just, which of these three things?
Qin Ran couldn't be sure for the time being.
All three seem likely.
The [Barrier Water] itself is meant to shield the 'Witch's Gift', so it's not surprising that it is perceived as dangerous.
And if the improvement of perception is the reason for the appearance of the 'Witch's Puzzle', it means that the 'Witch's Gift' is not as impossible to get rid of as he imagined, and it couldn't be expelled before, it is nothing more than that he is not strong enough, or ...... Choosing the wrong direction, if you want to exorcise the 'Witch's Gift', you need not only great strength, but also the right direction!
As for the third?
There was too little information, Qin Ran couldn't be sure, but he didn't rule out this possibility.
In fact, for the three possibilities, Qin Ran would not reject them.
After all, he's now got a city back.
Ever since this weird smiling face inexplicably appeared on the back of his right hand, Qin Ran felt as uncomfortable as a fish in his throat, and when he learned the information of 'The Witch's Gift', for Qin Ran, he became even more vigilant at all times.
What kind of person is the 'witch' who has left all kinds of legends in the huge city?
Evil, powerful, killing, fearful.
These words are all about the other person.
What made such a 'witch', Qin Ran didn't know, and he wouldn't explore too much, he just needed to know that in the face of such a thing left behind, he had to be careful and careful.
Especially, when the other party had disappeared and was just a so-called 'guardian' existence, Qin Ran's vigilance had reached an extreme.
Qin Ran never doubted the evil in human nature, just as he firmly believed in the existence of good.
A 'witch' who has reached the pinnacle and even escaped may not care for a long time, and may be something that is done casually.
But not for others.
Think of the rules of the Guardians.
The 'law of the jungle' is revealed everywhere.
And, that's only part of what he learned.
Qin Ran believed that in the parts he didn't understand, there would be more surprising facts that would surprise him.
'Guardians'?
Hehe.
Qin Ran sneered, looked at the faint 'Witch's Gift' on the back of his right hand again, and after a few seconds, he walked towards the hospital bed.
Under the bed, is his equipment prop.
Although I can't wait to completely remove this hidden danger, I still have to do what needs to be done.
Is the second dungeon world difficult?
What a perfect compensation!
He couldn't wait.
Crash!
The black leather armor replaced the hospital gown, the same black crow feather windbreaker covered the black long sword hanging from his waist, and after stuffing the metallic box into his backpack, Qin Ran picked up the backpack, pushed the door and walked out.
Rumble!
