The sudden scream made Qin Ran change his original plan to investigate the surroundings, and he went straight to the location where the scream sounded.

When Qin Ran came to the place where the scream occurred, the afterglow of the setting sun had all dissipated, but this did not prevent the dazzling scarlet reflection in Qin Ran's eyes.

The woman who screamed was dead.

The other party's face still retains the fear of a sudden attack before his death.

The opponent's body was mutilated, most of the internal organs were devoured, and the same was true of the flesh and blood on the limbs and torso.

The other party's two thigh bones were broken into several pieces.

Qin Ran could completely imagine how a large mouth of blood was chewing on the other party's flesh and blood.

Apart from the head, the poor woman was left with no more complete body.

However, what surprised Qin Ran the most was that there were no more traces left at the scene.

It may be more accurate to say that there were originally quite clear traces, but as night wore on, such traces were rapidly disappearing.

"A different night?"

"Interesting."

Qin Ran, who was squinting, muttered to himself in a low voice.

Beep!

In the distance, a shrill whistle sounded.

Qin Ran glanced at the group of uniformed law enforcers, who were obviously supposed to be police or something, and turned around and walked into the shadows.

He doesn't mind being in contact with the other person.

But now, it's not time yet.

……

Night came as promised.

There was no moon in the dark night sky, let alone stars, just a cloud of darkness, like a black mist hanging over Ides.

The people who live here lock their rooms early and enter into dreams.

And at the head of the bed, more or less some weapons of self-defense will be placed.

Almost as soon as darkness fell, Edex fell silent.

Of course, not all of them.

In the alleys of some streets, there are always a few places that are brightly lit.

In the shortest possible time, Qin Ran easily found three taverns and inns with quite a few people.

Then he chose one of the inns called 'Grilled Fish in the Oven'.

This choice is not arbitrary.

In addition to the name 'Grilled Fish in the Stove', which made Qin Ran quite favorable, it was also because this inn had a strong aura that far surpassed the other two places.

The kind of strong man in the eyes of ordinary people.

Jingle bells.

"Welcome warriors who dare to travel at night."

"You're glad you didn't make the wrong choice – I've got the best beer, I've got freshly baked bread, and of course, I'd suggest you pull up one of your signature dishes: grilled fish in the oven!"

Qin Ran pushed the door in, and in the ringing of the doorbell, a rough voice followed.

A man standing behind the bar on the first floor, shirtless, revealing strong muscles and thick chest hair, greeted Qin Ran loudly.

The other party still had half a glass of beer in his hand, his beard as thick as his chest hair was stained with wine, and the candle flame was shining on the top of his bare head, which was extremely conspicuous.

"A serving of oven-baked fish and bread."

"I also need a clean, hot room."

Qin Ran said, and walked to the corner of the first floor.

"Of course!"

"I have everything you need, do you pay ancient coins or cash?"

The other smiled and nodded.

Ancient coins, cash?

For Qin Ran, who was not very familiar with the copy world in front of him, this was undoubtedly information that needed to be recorded.

Thankfully, he knew from what he had just observed that precious metals were still hard currency here.

Smack.

A piece of gold the size of an adult's pinky fingernail landed on the wooden bar, glittering in the light of an arm-thick tallow candle.

The brilliance of the gold immediately attracted the attention of the others in the inn.

There was a deep greed in the eyes of these people.

Immediately, though, they withdrew their gaze.

Because, the guy standing behind the bar was staring at them viciously.

"This is 'Grilled Fish in the Oven', my Lagren's hole card!"

"Whoever dares to disobey my rules, I will take him to feed the fish!"

Raglan, the owner of 'Grilled Fish in the Oven', exclaimed.

Then, he picked up the gold, put it in his trouser pocket, and said to Qin Ran in an extremely gentle tone: "Sir, I assure you that you will be treated as a home away from home here. ”

"Your room is always waiting for you."

"Your grilled fish and bread will arrive soon, and I will give you a vegetable soup and beer, please enjoy it."

It is clear that that small piece of gold played a decisive role.

Qin Ran's room was cleaned out super quickly, and the food appeared in front of him three minutes later.

Grilled fish and bread are common foods, and vegetable soup is less salty, and there are no whole vegetables, but some chopped grass foam, and the only thing that is commendable is that the portion is full.

Beer, Qin Ran didn't touch it, he put the wine glass aside, and began to eat his dinner, his ears were collecting all the information that could be gathered.

Although the people in the hall were talking as quietly as possible, with Qin Ran's perception, none of these people's whispers escaped his ears, as if they were whispering in his ear.

"What is it?"

"The police said it was a wolf."

"Don't be funny."

"I don't know if it's a bloodborn, a werewolf, or a ghoul."

"But one thing is for sure!"

"Those rice buckets are just talking nonsense."

……

The words were full of ridicule and ridicule, and then caused ridicule from the tablemates.

Then, the guys raised their glasses frequently.

Qin Ran listened silently.

Most of them are useless messages with a lot of speculation.

But not quite.

When Qin Ran finished drinking the vegetable soup in one gulp, he had been paying attention silently when the two guests on the table near the side of the table spoke.

These two people are one old and one young.

The older one carried a crutch, and there was an undetectable gap at the end of the crutch near the handle, although it was very hidden, but Qin Ran knew what was hidden in it when he swept his gaze.

Blade!

A long sword in the shape of a cane with a blade inside.

And the younger one was even more direct, the brown windbreaker couldn't cover the strange bulge of the psoas muscles, and Qin Ran knew that it should be a revolver when he looked at the outline.

Both of them have brown hair and emerald green eyes, and their faces are four or five points similar.

It's obviously related by blood.

"Will, what do you think that's that?"

The young man asked in a low voice.

"It won't be blood, they like to keep their so-called demeanor."

"It won't be a werewolf either, their madness won't explode until the night of the full moon, and even werewolves who like to hunt won't 'waste food', they will pack everything away instead of throwing it all to the ground."

"Ghouls are possible."

"These creatures don't behave in a way that their shrunken brains dictate, and they're no different from ordinary beasts."

"I'm more inclined to ......, though"

The elder man's words continued, and he came to the most critical place.

But at this moment, it was interrupted by a rude push on the door.

Bang!

The door of the 'Grilled Fish in the Stove' slammed into the inner wall, and the hanging doorbell was smashed flat before it could make a sound.

An extremely tall man led two men in.

The two, one with a fierce face and the other with a thin body.

The eyes of the three of them patrolled the entire hotel hall, and when they saw Qin Ran sitting in the corner, the eyes of the three of them lit up, and they walked towards Qin Ran with a cruel smile.
