Chapter Twenty-Six: 'The One'

Outside the police station, the lights are bright.

In the distance, it was pitch black.

One light and one darkness are like two worlds divided.

And the darkness is still eating up the light!

Qin Ran stood on the steps and looked up into the distance.

Under the vision of [Tracking], he could clearly see that a large black shadow was like the tide of the sea, surging towards this place, and any item that could bring heat and light along the way would burst open with the rapid accumulation of negative energy.

Bang bang bang!

Amid a series of bursting street light bulbs, more than a dozen figures came out of the darkness in a veiled manner.

Between light and darkness, a glimpse.

Each one is a skin covering the face, without facial features, weird and exquisite, but seductive.

Invisible spirits and evil spirits.

The appearance of the two did not surprise Qin Ran.

His gaze swept over one by one, but he didn't stop there, and he continued to search for his target: a member of the Wanderers' Society.

Qin Ran knew very well that no matter how powerful the invisible spirit in front of him was, or how amazing the evil spirit was, the essence of both was the same, and they were both the ones who were being manipulated.

Only by finding the controller can you solve the problem at hand.

However, Qin Ran relied on C-level perception and blessed [Tracking] under the vision, but still did not find any goals that met the requirements of the members of the Wanderer Association.

"Hidden tracks?"

"Impossible!"

"Now that you've made such a noise, what's the use of hiding your tracks?"

"The other party must have appeared with these invisible spirits and evil spirits, but I didn't find them!"

"And the ...... that can obscure my vision"

Qin Ran subconsciously looked towards the ground.

Retreat!

This is the only possible way.

As for stealth?

Unless you can get to the point where you can make your body invisible, you will still leave some traces.

If the other party could really turn his body into intangible, Qin Ran would have to re-evaluate the association of the wanderers in front of him who were praised as a 'third-rate force' by Nikelle.

Or rather, it's a reassessment of the true power level of the entire dungeon world.

According to Qin Ran's speculation, after talking to Nikailei. Immediately returning to Black Street No. 1 to survive this crisis safely is the choice of ordinary players.

If you choose to face the 'Wanderer's Society', this difficulty will be directly increased by one or two levels from the difficulty of the second dungeon.

But that's it!

Although he chose to forgo the safest approach, it doesn't mean that the entire difficulty of the game is put into 'hell mode' all at once.

As if to prove Qin Ran's guess, the next moment, he felt a slight vibration on the soles of his feet.

Rumble!

In the sound of the explosion, the steps where Qin Ran was originally standing directly flew with rubble, and a pit with a radius of three meters appeared there.

Two figures loomed in the smoke and dust.

"Huh?"

"I dodged it!"

A small, small-faced, gloomy man exclaimed in surprise.

"Death is only in order!"

"Sooner or later, what's the point?"

"And your death has already been predetermined!"

Next to the gloomy man stood a middle-aged man in a robe with a solemn face. As soon as the other party appeared, he announced the 'death news' to Qin Ran, who had dodged the blow.

"First you're the assistant, and then there's the guy Nikella!"

"That poor worm who has completely deviated from the belief of the strong will become our stepping stone and forge our true prestige!"

The man's gaze with a gloomy face also locked on Qin Ran.

Surrounded by countless invisible spirits and more than a dozen evil spirits, the other party looked at Qin Ran as if he were looking at a dead person.

"It's just the two of you in the Wanderers' Society?"

Qin Ran didn't seem to hear the words of the two, and he didn't seem to be able to see the invisible wandering spirits and evil spirits around him, so he asked in a light tone.

"You know our names!"

"However, how many men do you think we need to use to deal with a group of mortals?"

The man with a gloomy face first glanced at Qin Ran in surprise. Then, immediately, there was a merciless ridicule.

"You're not afraid of causing outrage?"

"There should be rules and restrictions for special groups of people to treat ordinary people, right?"

Qin Ran asked.

Although this is just Qin Ran's speculation, but for this speculation. Qin Ran is nine out of ten.

Otherwise, this dungeon world would have been a different scene long ago.

There is no modern technology, magic and the like are the mainstream.

But the reality is. Technology is evolving, but magic is hidden and comes into contact with ordinary people from time to time.

The simplest examples are Nikelle and Schi.

Partnership between the two parties. It was enough for Qin Ran to have such a bold guess.

"Rules?"

"Of course, but that was before!"

"Now, 'that' is coming soon, and everything is about to be reshuffled!"

"You poor creature who doesn't know anything!"

The grimacing man laughed.

'That'?

Everything is about to be reshuffled?

Qin Ran was stunned.

His keen hunch told him that he seemed to have discovered something extraordinary.

However, before he could continue to get more information from the mouth of the obviously poorly brained enemy in front of him, another enemy couldn't wait to strike.

"Death will be with you!"

A middle-aged man in a robe with a solemn face shouted.

Those invisible spirits and evil spirits of the evil land suddenly moved with the sound, and Qin Ran was overwhelmed in an instant.

"Death is a great ......"

Looking at the submerged Qin Ran, the middle-aged man's face still did not change and he chanted out without any change, until he was hit on the jaw by a fist with lightning.

Click!

With the crisp cracking sound of bones, the middle-aged man's feet left the ground and flew high, and his body went straight up without any slowdown.

Bang!

The head slammed into the top of the hard marble.

In an instant, the brain burst out, and the white and red were dyed.

Syllable!

The body of the middle-aged man fell to the ground, and the man with a gloomy face on one side reacted.

The other party looked at Qin Ran, who slowly walked out of the encirclement of countless wandering spirits with an incredulous gaze, and his whole body exuded a faint white glow.

"Saint, paladin?!"

There was such a scream from his mouth.

With this scream. The invisible spirits and evil spirits of the evil land surrounded Qin Ran again, but when they were one step away from Qin Ran, they all stopped their figures, not daring to take a step beyond the thunder pool.

Looking at the invisible spirits and evil spirits around him that were distorted but didn't dare to take a step forward, Qin Ran couldn't help but be surprised by how easy the 'disposable prop' was to use.

It was even better than he could have imagined.

[Name: Holy Water VIII.]

【Type: Potion】

[Quality: Excellent]

[Attributes: Within 1 minute, it will deter low-level ghosts and negative energy creatures, and when it comes into contact with any low-level ghosts and negative energy creatures, the opponent will suffer fatal damage!] 】

[Requirements: None]

[Note: This is the work of an excellent alchemist, as for its name?] That's from an ancient potion recipe, and it's only in position VIII.! Remember. You don't need to drink it, you just need to apply it to your body or weapon! 】

……

[Holy Water VIII.] is one of the targeted items that Qin Ran asked Lawless to purchase when he entered the [Psychic Partner] dungeon world.

Friendship price: 1500 points.

The price is not cheap, but everything in front of him tells Qin Ran that it is 'worth the money'.

In a flash, Qin Ran appeared in front of the man with a gloomy face.

The other party was obviously still in a trance, and he didn't have any reaction to Qin Ran, who was close at hand.

Qin Ran frowned.

He found the members of the so-called 'Wanderers' Association to be a little weird.

Not just in behavior, but also intellectually.

Seem...... Mentally problematic?!

But. This did not prevent Qin Ran from knocking the opponent unconscious with one punch.

He needed a living mouth to ask more questions.

As for the invisible spirits and evil spirits around them?

Qin Ran, who had changed the title of [Evil Spirit Hunter], turned around and rushed towards these monsters.

You know, these monsters have a small chance of dropping [Soul Crystal]!

And [Soul Crystal] represents points and skill points!

Qin Ran gave up the choice of getting through the 'difficulty' in front of him safely, wasn't it just for this moment?

How could he let go of such an opportunity.

Qin Ran, whose whole body exuded a faint white glow, rushed into the invisible spirit like a thousand horses. There is no need to attack at all, just touching it will make these evil spirits turn into ashes with a wail.

Evil spirits are no exception.

The seemingly huge team of evil spirits was in Qin Ran's rapid charge. It became overwhelming in the middle of a breath.

Often, when there is no reaction, it disappears.

"This, this ......"

Shi Qi, who was standing at the window on the second floor, watched in amazement at what was happening below.

He couldn't see the invisible spirits, but he could see the evil spirits. can see the pit that suddenly appeared, and even more can see Qin Ran, who is radiant all over his body.

In the dark night, the light was so warm and bright.

That...... Bright!

"Paladin!!"

Shi Qi muttered the term in a low voice.

Protect the weak!

Eradicate injustice!

Bring justice!

There are some legends about paladins in his head, and Shi Qi is completely stupid.

Because this is his belief and pursuit.

"Shiqi! Wizard! ”

"What happened?"

"2567, how's that guy?"

The old woman's impatient voice in the microphone brought back Shi Qi's thoughts.

"Don't worry, Your Excellency 2567 is fine!"

"We're all safe!"

Shi Qi unconsciously changed his honorific title.

"Nothing? Safe? ”

"What's going on?"

The old woman asked.

"Just ......"

Shi Qi watched Qin Ran's battle and whispered to the old woman.

And even he didn't notice it, and a brightness called 'fanaticism' began to appear in his eyes.

Bright, soft but not harsh.

The brilliance on Qin Ran's body was engraved like this.
