Chapter 40: Malice
Through the car window, Eckerd saw not only reporters from several local TV stations, but also some reporters affiliated with the print media, including reporters from online platforms.
A homicide in Rain City could never have had such an effect.
Don't......
Eckerd, who was not stupid, changed his face slightly.
He guessed something.
But at this time, he could no longer be allowed to back down.
Taking a deep breath, Eckerd looked at Qin Ran.
"2567, it doesn't seem right."
"Be careful."
"And ......"
"Looks like I'm a problem for you."
Eckerd smiled apologetically.
It's not polite.
It's real.
Because, Eckerd thinks that the mistake in front of him is what he made.
The reversal that was almost driven to a desperate situation made him extremely excited, and after a long time of fatigue and excitement, he actually ignored the movements of the enemies around him, and without thinking, he pulled Qin Ran into this whirlpool together.
The consequence of doing so almost pushed him and Qin Ran to the forefront.
Can't go back!
Behind him is a bottomless abyss.
As for moving forward?
Covered with thorns!
In the midst of the dilemma, a sense of exhaustion rushed over Eckerd, and he had never felt so powerless as he did now.
Qin Ran quietly looked at Eckerd's appearance.
When the other party appeared in front of him as the deputy director and made a temporary guest appearance as the host, Qin Ran guessed that the other party was in a bad situation.
Otherwise, would the deputy director of a local TV station do such a cheap thing?
It's just that Qin Ran didn't expect that the other party's situation would be even worse than he imagined.
Undoubtedly, the brief news just now was a trap, and even the assistant who sent the message to Eckerd should be someone who was an enemy of Eckerd.
Of course, this news is not fake.
However, the most important key information should be hidden from this brief message.
And this key information is enough to put him and Eckerd in the most passive situation.
What could it be?
Qin Ran guessed in his heart, raised his hand and patted Eckerd on the shoulder.
"It's not the worst yet."
"If you don't fight first, you really lose!"
"We're one step behind, but it's not hard to get back."
Qin Ran said lightly.
The indifferent tone remained unchanged throughout.
The expressionless expression on his face did not waver in the slightest.
In normal times, such a tone and expression are nothing, but at this time, it gave Eckerd considerable comfort and support.
Eckerd thought of Qin Ran's magic last night.
Maybe it can't be overturned!
When this thought appeared in Eckerd's heart, the deputy director began to quickly adjust his mentality.
No one wants to lose!
No one wants to be doomed!
If possible......
He's willing to give it a go!
Whew, whew!
After several deep breaths, Eckerd returned to normal.
"When you get out of the car, those reporters will definitely surround you."
"2567, don't speak, leave it all to me!"
"Lin. Amy, you'll be overlooked, and you'll find out what we don't know! ”
Ekde said quickly.
His gaze looked at the reporters who quickly gathered around him, as if he had seen a group of sharks that smelled blood.
At one time he was part of this group.
And now?
He will be a warrior in the fight against sharks.
Click!
The door was opened by Ekdra, and the deputy director jumped out of the car.
Qin Ran looked at the other party's back, and the corners of his mouth returned to normal as soon as he curled.
Qin Ran has a good impression of Eckerd, the other party clearly knows the identity he plays in the cooperation, as well as the relationship between the two, and knows how to advance and retreat.
Especially the latter, which Qin Ran appreciated very much.
Therefore, he does not want to change collaborators if he can.
More importantly, the time it takes to change a collaborator is something that Qin Ran is unwilling to see.
If you add to that the need to solve the problems left by Eckerd, the time spent is definitely not a day or two.
Qin Ran was sure that Eckerd's enemies had already classified him as a member of Eckerd's camp.
There is nothing wrong with that.
After all, at this moment, he himself is relying on Eckerd to speed up the state of his plan.
Therefore, even in order to ensure his plan, Qin Ran didn't want to see something happen to Eckerd, and in order for his plan to continue more smoothly and not have problems like today, he thought that Eckerd's enemies must also be swept away.
However, that's all to be considered after resolving the events at hand.
Right now?
Click!
A series of flashing lights lit up in front of Qin Ran's eyes.
The blinding light is enough to scare ordinary people into shrinking up, closing their eyes, or simply subconsciously raising their hands to block the camera.
Either is anachronistic.
Some weird-minded people don't mind making a big deal out of it.
But Qin Ran disappointed these people.
He stood there, his body as straight as a javelin, his face indifferent, his eyes not moving at all, and he let the camera catch it.
The flash flickered for a dozen seconds before it stopped.
Then, all kinds of microphones stretched out in front of Qin Ran.
"Mr. 2567, are you here because of the invitation of Miss Nuna and Mr. Kaom?"
"Mr. 2567, do you think this murder is really going to be like Mr. Caom, and the whole sanatorium will become a bad place?"
"Lady Nuna senses the warrior's undead, can you?"
……
Successive questions rang out one after another, as if entering a vegetable market.
Eckerd on the side wanted to answer instead of Qin Ran, but he couldn't interject at all, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he was muffled by a noisy voice.
Unless he used some special means, it would not have been possible to return to the problems of the journalists according to the established plan.
Moreover, Qin Ran keenly noticed that some of the reporters were targeting Eckerd.
A couple of muscular men kept trying to push Eckerd out of him.
Whenever Eckerd wanted to speak, the guys not only raised their voices and began to ask questions, but as for the questions asked, most of them were mentioned by the reporters around them; Moreover, they also used their strong bodies to hit Eckerd, making Eckerd's voice almost distorted.
Eckerd is not thin, but he is ordinary, and compared to these strong guys, he is not an opponent at all.
Qin Ran could see that after each impact, Eckerd frowned, and the muscles on his face twitched for a while.
"Inferior but effective means."
Qin Ran commented.
Then, his calm gaze swept over the reporters.
The voice unconsciously became lower, and then disappeared.
Every reporter who was swept by Qin Ran's gaze felt inexplicably cold in his heart, the hairs on his whole body stood on end, and a trembling feeling spread all over his body, and his throat was unbearably dry.
They seemed to see a pitch-black figure walking slowly in the sea of corpses and blood.
Fear spreads like a plague.
The reporters unconsciously took a few steps back.
Even those strong guys were no exception, but Qin Ran didn't plan to let these guys go.
He walked slowly towards the group, a low groan sounding from his mouth.
"Everything in the world is in a thousand forms."
"The human heart is ever-changing."
"The exalted soul walks in compassion."
"Inferior souls are maliciously poisoned."
"Where are you from?"
