Chapter 109 Numbers
The looming figure walked slowly.
Suddenly, a flash of fire flashed in front of the opponent.
clatter!
A strange sound echoed in the alley.
A pistol with a suppressor installed!
When Riley in the car heard the noise, he immediately knew what it was. He shrank his head immediately and curled up his whole body between the passenger seat and the front desk.
Even if the car isn't bulletproof, it's better than being hit by a bullet.
As for Qin Ran?
Riley could see clearly that before the other side fired, Kieran disappeared in front of the car in a flash.
Where did Qin Ran go, Riley didn't know.
However, Riley knew that Kieran didn't abandon him and run away.
Just listen to the continuous gunshots.
Da da da!
The headlights of the car had already been shattered, and except for the flickering gunfire that occasionally brought malicious light, the entire alley became pitch black.
And when the gunfire disappeared, the alley was completely plunged into darkness.
Riley, who was curled up, poked his head out again, carefully looking out of the car.
But except for the darkness, he couldn't see anything.
Clang!
Just as Riley was searching carefully, a sound of metal clashing suddenly appeared in front of the car.
The collision and friction of the two metal weapons splashed sparks, and once again there was a faint light in the dark alley.
In an instant, Riley's eyes widened.
With the faint light, he could vaguely see the person who fought against Kieran.
The sharp long knife, the familiar face that made him have nightmares.
'The Executioner' Kerouac!
Riley instinctively wanted to exclaim.
However, at the last moment, he slammed his mouth shut.
He didn't want to distract Qin Ran who was fighting.
Because, that is asking for trouble for himself.
Riley covered her mouth and stared in front of her eyes.
But he found that Qin Ran and the "executioner" Kerouac disappeared into the darkness again, as if they had just appeared suddenly.
The two are like ghosts.
Looking at the darkness in front of him, an indescribable shock appeared in Riley's heart.
How could Kieran be on equal footing with 'The Executioner' Kerouac?
Today, Riley has seen too much of Kieran's magic.
But at no time has he been shocked like this moment.
As for the previous speculation, Riley became more and more sure.
What reporter?
How can there be a reporter who can be as good as "The Executioner" Kerouac?
Everything is a cover up!
Only similar existences can be on par with 'The Executioner' Kerouac!
"Who is it?"
"According to Qin Ran's age...the one who disappeared within three years but has not been confirmed dead, whose face is unknown, who uses a dagger, and who appears and disappears like Kerouac..."
Riley began to search for information in his mind that ordinary people do not know.
Then, he quickly locked on to a character.
"only one!"
"'Shadow Thorn'!"
"Qin Ran is the 'Shadow Thorn'!"
"Only 'Shadow Thorn' can compete with 'Executioner'!"
Riley, who thought he had guessed Qin Ran's true identity, trembled with excitement.
That is the 'Shadow Thorn'!
Another legend of the city!
A legend as famous as the 'Executioner'!
Clearly the informant misunderstood something.
Not only Qin Ran's identity, but also...the so-called 'no distinction between top and bottom'!
Standing in the shadow, Qin Ran, who seemed to be one with the shadow, gently raised his dagger. The darkness in front of him could not block Qin Ran's sight.
The gap that appeared on the dagger due to the collision, as well as the smear of bright red, in Kieran's eyes, there is no trace of it!
The "executioner" Kerouac who fought with him was injured.
After the other party showed the long knife that Riley had described more than once, Kieran roughly confirmed the other party's identity.
At the same time, what was confirmed was Kieran's previous thoughts: "The Executioner" Kerouac was exaggerated.
After some probing fights with the opponent, Kieran can roughly confirm that the opponent's strength and agility have reached the E+ level of the limit of ordinary people, and [Sneak] [Gunpowder Weapon. Light Weapon] should also be proficient level.
But that's about it.
Even the long knife used by the opponent only relied on brute force.
The skills are very rough, at most between the basics and entry.
Dealing with ordinary people is naturally easy.
But far less exaggerated than Riley said.
At least, that was the case for Kieran.
In terms of strength and agility, Kieran surpassed the opponent by two to three levels, and [Stealth], [Gunpowder Weapon, Light Weapon] skill level was two levels higher than the opponent.
Coupled with Kieran's powerful perception, the other party has nowhere to hide.
All battles are doomed when the opponent appears.
Qin Ran's gaze turned to the opposite side.
In the eyes of ordinary people, there is a fusion of darkness and shadows.
But in Kieran's eyes, the shadow there was extremely awkward and dazzling.
It's as if an ostrich buried its head in the soil, but exposed its body.
The next moment, Qin Ran moved.
It was as if a shadow passed through the darkness, quietly appearing beside the opponent, and the dagger flashed by.
puff!
Blood spurted from the opponent's neck.
[Cutting: Vital attack, causing opponent 200 life damage (100 cold weapon (dagger) (proficient) X2), opponent dies...]
The battle information appeared on Kieran's retina.
The opponent's body also fell to the ground.
Avoiding the spray of blood, Kieran began to search for his loot.
【Name: MI-02】
[Type: Firearms]
[Quality: Excellent]
[Attack Power: General]
[Magazine capacity: 7 rounds]
[Attribute: Muffling Lv1]
[Special effects: none]
[Requirement: Gunpowder Weapons. Light Weapons (Introduction)]
[Whether this copy can be brought out: Yes]
[Remarks: This is a pistol with a muffler, but don't expect it to have no sound! 】
...
[Silence reduction Lv1: Can eliminate the sound of shooting to a certain extent]
...
[Name: Alloy Long Knife]
[Type: Knife Weapon]
[Quality: Excellent]
[Attack Power: General]
[attribute: none]
[Special effects: none]
[Requirements: Strength E+, Cold Weapon. Long Knife (Basic)]
[Whether this copy can be brought out: Yes]
[Remarks: This is a cold weapon made with modern technology! 】
...
Two weapons, [MI-02] were directly replaced by Qin Ran [M1905]. Under the premise of the same quality and attack power, weapons with attributes are undoubtedly the first choice.
Facing the [alloy long knife], Kieran could only shake his head and sigh.
The excellent quality and the attack power comparable to [M1-02] are enough to show that this is a pretty good cold weapon, but it is a pity that it is not a dagger.
But that didn't stop Kieran from putting it in his backpack.
Then, Kieran began to examine the opponent's body.
Some clues are always hidden in the subtleties. Qin Ran, who knows this truth, will naturally not be careless.
Likewise, he was rewarded.
On the back of the opponent's neck, he saw a number——
III
Immediately, Qin Ran had a bad feeling in his heart.
