Chapter 61: Different
The glow of a flashlight shone down the hallway.
Nothing!
There are only flat concrete walls and floors, and farther away, the light of the flashlight cannot reach, and it is completely shrouded in darkness.
Looking at the darkness that spread like mist, Manlf's throat was dry, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and just as Manlf's Adam's apple moved up and down—
Drip!
The sound of water droplets falling to the ground suddenly came from behind him.
This time, Manff didn't hesitate and turned straight away.
But still, nothing!
There wasn't even a trace of water on the ground.
But Manlf was sure that he had just heard the sound of water droplets.
"Auditory hallucinations!"
"Auditory hallucinations just due to nervousness!"
Manff told himself like this, implying that he didn't need to be afraid, but the rapid breathing showed that such a hint was useless.
After all, Qin Ran's disappearance and the gloomy aura behind him just now were so real.
Leave!
Get out of here!
Suddenly, such a thought rose in Manf's heart.
Then, such thoughts spread inexorably.
Call! Call!
"I just chose to leave temporarily because I wasn't fully prepared!"
"After that, I'll be back when I'm ready!"
Manlf adjusted his breathing, making excuses for himself.
Then he turned around and went back the way he came.
Suddenly, the back of his neck went cold.
A drop of water landed on the back of his neck.
Instinctively, Manf raised his flashlight and shone it towards the ceiling.
A man was hung above his head.
Under the light, the man's eyes bulged out, his face was purple, and his tongue was spitting out the old man, and drip by drop of saliva was dripping down his tongue.
"Ahh
Manff let out a low sigh as he stepped back as he raised his hand to wipe the back of his neck.
Disgusting and frightened emotions filled Manf's heart at this moment, and he looked at the hanging corpse in panic.
Woo!
A gust of wind, blowing from nowhere.
Squeak! Squeak!
The corpse was swaying back and forth in the wind by ropes, and the sound of being pulled by heavy objects could not stop being heard on the ropes, and the sound was getting louder and louder.
Seem......
It was not issued by a rope.
Manff gripped his flashlight and shone it towards the surrounding ceiling.
Suddenly, a dense hanging figure appeared in his field of vision.
Looking at the corpses hanging there, like sausages, Malf's scalp tingled.
Because, at this time, he finally saw the faces of these people clearly.
Collaborator!
Or, to be precise, these people are the people who bribed him to spy on Qin Ran.
How did they all die here?
Is there really a problem with the gymnasium?
Impossible!
It's just some school rumors!
Telling himself in the bottom of his heart, Manf's body began to retreat, running towards the outside of the gymnasium at a speed several times faster than when he came before.
But a rope is faster!
Sou!
The rope flew out of the darkness and was firmly wrapped around Manf's neck, hanging it from the ceiling.
"Uh, uh!"
Manff struggled with his hands dancing.
Eventually, there was no sound.
A streak of orange fell from his corpse and was caught in the palm of a white, slender hand.
The attribute of the [Paralysis Ball] instantly appeared in front of Qin Ran's eyes.
It's not an unfamiliar prop, in the hands of the Hill School, Qin Ran once got one, obviously, this is Malf's hole card.
At the very least, it's the hole cards that the opponent thinks they can control.
Just like those watchers.
I think I can use the rumors in the gym to find out the truth I want.
But in the end, they became part of the rumors.
Qin Ran could already imagine what would happen here after dawn tomorrow.
As for crying and secret treasures?
Both the former and the latter are false.
After arriving in advance and dealing with the wave of monitors, Qin Ran thoroughly searched the gymnasium and found nothing.
And this was also Qin Ran's expectation.
If there really is any secret treasure, it is impossible for the Teorit school to sit idly by.
It is inevitable that there will be a large-scale search, and even if it cannot be found temporarily, it will be like a canteen, and reliable personnel like Edberg will be dispatched to guard it.
Of course, Qin Ran was not for nothing.
From the lead watcher, he received an unexpected trophy.
[Name: Equinox Dragon (Imitation)]
[Category:Strange Things]
[Quality: Legendary]
[Attack: Powerful]
[Attributes: None]
[Special Effect: None]
[Can I bring out this copy: Yes]
[Note: It is an imitation of the six-inch point dragon, although it cannot be compared with the real six-inch point dragon, but it is still rare, but if you want to exert its true power, you need to combine it with the seven-inch dragon, if you can, for the safety of the six-inch point dragon imitation, please look for the same imitation of the seven-inch dragon]
……
Looking at the chopsticks that seemed to be hollow in his hand, Qin Ran took out the [Seven-inch Dragon Hunt (Imitation)], just right, the [Six-Inch Dragon (Imitation)] was set on the back side of the [Seven-inch Dragon Hunt (Imitation)], and after touching, the two slightly emitted brilliance, and when the two really merged into one, the brilliance shook, and when they dispersed, the two became indistinguishable from each other, and the brand-new attributes immediately appeared on Qin Ran's retina.
[Name: Seven inches and six minutes. Jiaolong chopsticks】
[Category:Strange Things]
【Quality:I.】
[Attack: I.]
[Defense: I.]
[Attributes: 1, ambergris; 2, dragon bite; 3, Jiaolong Soul]
[Special Effect: Seeking]
[Can I bring out this copy: Yes]
[Note: It is seven inches and six minutes. The original idea of making a replica of the real dragon chopsticks was to find seven inches and six minutes. Real dragon chopsticks, but the results are disappointing. 】
……
[Jiao Dragon Saliva: Objects touched by Jiaolong chopsticks will increase a certain umami taste, and it is easier to expose flaws, increasing a certain critical strike rate]
[Jiaolong bite; The object caught by the Jiaolong chopsticks will be judged to have a physique of not less than A, and those who fail will be torn and torn off if they are caught by the Jiaolong chopsticks.
[Jiaolong Soul: When you use Jiaolong chopsticks to eat to reach 100 people, you can temporarily summon a dragon soul (right chopsticks), or you can accumulate it, and when you eat 500 people, you can summon two dragon souls, or you can accumulate it, and when you eat 1,000 people, summon two strengthened dragon souls for 1 minute]
……
[Seeking: When the six-point dragon and the seven-inch dragon are combined into one, it can point to what you think in your heart, 1 time/week]
……
"[Seven inches and six minutes. Jiaolong chopsticks]?! ”
Qin Ran looked at this one-in-one prop in surprise, although the imitations were all legendary-level, and they had already told Qin Ran that they were extraordinary, but when the two merged into one and reached the entry level, it still made Qin Ran feel surprised, especially the attribute of [Seeking] in it.
Almost instantly, the idea of finding food above the main meal level came to Qin Ran's mind.
But the [seven inches and six minutes. Jiaolong chopsticks] but there was no movement at all.
"Isn't it the right way?"
"Do you need a specific name and concept?"
"Or is it beyond what you can find?"
Qin Ran thought about it, and put away the [Seven Inches and Six Minutes. Jiaolong chopsticks].
Although he really wanted to see the power of the [Jiao Dragon Soul], the prerequisites for using the [Jiao Dragon Soul] made Qin Ran have to give up.
"Is it enough for 1,000 people?"
"Soon."
After Qin Ran silently calculated, a smile appeared on his face.
Tread, stomp.
Footsteps sounded, the light of the flashlight flashed in the distance, and the two of Stalter and Maika walked over cautiously, and when they saw Qin, the two were obviously relieved.
"Chief, I think there's something wrong here."
Maika, who had the instinct of a beast, immediately said when he saw Qin.
"Hmm."
"Not only is it eerie, but it always gives me a sense of palpitations."
Standt nodded his head next to him.
Qin Ran looked at the two of them and didn't speak, just pointed to the top of their heads.
The two of them subconsciously raised their heads, and then, their faces changed abruptly.
"Manf?!"
Stalter exclaimed, and Maika looked around vigilantly after his eyes swept over the remaining corpses.
"I've informed Professor Tells."
"You go tell the student council members."
Qin Ran commanded.
"Yes, Chief."
The two nodded, turned around and ran out.
Looking at the backs of the two, Qin Ran looked up at the corpses again, couldn't help but shake his head, and walked out.
Not some crocodile tearful sigh.
It's just a hint of embarrassment between you and me.
These corpses once again warned Qin Ran not to be blind and arrogant, and to be cautious at all times.
After Qin Ran left, bursts of low, suppressed sobs suddenly rang out.
"Boom, it's scary... It's horrible... I'm going to scare the hell out of it! ”
"Get out of here, ......"
"Get out of here, ......"
……
Professor Tells appeared in front of the gymnasium with a team of school guards three minutes later, looking at Qin Ran who was standing there, the good old professor couldn't help but have a headache.
"Are you the Grim Reaper?"
"Everywhere you go, someone dies!"
The good old professor couldn't help but say while directing the guards to block the scene.
"It's a coincidence."
Qin Ran said very seriously.
"Coincidence?"
The good old professor shook his head, obviously not believing Qin Ran's words.
Maybe in terms of personality, this professor is a good person, but in terms of ability to do things, this professor is not a perfunctory person.
He carefully checked everything, the glow of the flashlight, strafing back and forth in the gymnasium.
"Where's the power supply?"
"Haven't you turned it on yet?"
The good old professor asked.
"Professor, right away."
After the guard's voice fell, there was a crisp 'click', which was the sound of an electric current turning through the motor.
The next moment, the gymnasium was brightly lit.
Everyone could see clearly the corpses hanging from the ceiling of the gymnasium, and there were more than a dozen corpses.
Hiss!
Although they had seen the corpse before, when everything came into view, everyone present still couldn't help but take a breath.
Some of them are timid, and their faces are even pale.
For example: Stant.
However, he still had to accept the guards' questioning, and Mika was the same, and Qin Ran was no exception.
"What the hell is going on?"
Professor Tells looked at Qin Ran and asked.
"'Crying Gym' and 'Hidden Treasure', after Stant informed me of these two rumors, I became interested in the latter and joined in."
"Because it was a team of two, I naturally teamed up with the weaker Malef, but as soon as I got here, Malef disappeared."
"By the time I found him, he had already been hanged here."
Qin Ran told everything truthfully.
At least, that's what it looks like to others.
"You didn't hear a sound?"
The good old professor wants to know more.
"Wind."
"I heard something unusual."
Qin Ran replied.
The good old professor, who got this answer, began to direct the school guards to thoroughly search the entire gymnasium.
Qin Ran was not worried about this.
He left no suspicious traces.
Especially on those ropes, the ropes that are manipulated by the [Activation Rope Technique] do not have fingerprints.
After being questioned, Qin Ran, Stant, and Maika stood in place, watching the guards search the entire gymnasium, and on the periphery of the gymnasium, the members of the student council had been orderly guarding the entrances and exits, assisting the guards to protect the scene, and the former branch minister Guti was also among them.
After seeing Qin, the branch minister walked straight over.
"Sub-Minister, please don't do such a dangerous thing."
"Not only are you putting yourself in danger, you're also putting other people in harm's way."
Guti said righteously.
"It's not the chief's fault, it's us who deadlift the chief'......"
Stalter explained immediately, but under Guti's gaze, Stalter's voice grew smaller and smaller, and eventually, inaudible.
And after Stant completely stopped talking, Guti withdrew his gaze and continued.
"And since the beginning of the school year, you've accumulated enough student union jobs."
"I think you need to deal with it."
"Of course, it's not just about signing."
"If you don't finish your job on time, your benefits in the student union will be taken back."
After an almost stereotypical finish, Guti turned and left.
However, after only two steps, Guti suddenly stopped.
"I admire your previous efforts to persuade the Dark Eater."
With that, Guti quickened his pace and left.
Looking at the back of the former head of the student union, Stalter and Mika looked at each other.
"Is she sick?"
"Won't you talk well?"
Mai Kai asked.
"I guess there is, who said it?"
Stalter secretly glanced at Qin, who had a normal expression, and then said cautiously, and immediately changed the topic.
And just as the two were chatting, Qin Ran keenly sensed that a team of school guards with different breaths walked in.
In the eyes of ordinary people, it is nothing more than a little indifferent, and the dress is no different from the previous guards, but in Qin Ran's eyes, if you have to describe it, this guard is a veteran of a hundred battles, and the previous guards are a group of recruits in training.
There is a difference between heaven and earth.
Moreover, as soon as this guard came in, he took out an instrument that Qin Ran had never seen before.
Similar to a communicator, but larger, with a row of small lights on it.
Soon, the row of lights came on.
From green to red, it was just a breath, followed by a screeching alarm.
Drip, drip!
