Chapter 1095 Method
Rachel put down the cup, turned around, and looked at Kieran like never before.
Serious and sharp, like a knife.
Qin Ran looked back at the other party calmly and roughly recounted what had just happened through a private message.
After finishing speaking, Kieran could clearly feel relaxed.
Obviously, the other party was not surprised about 'how to kill people in the game room', but was concerned about the problem of 'killing people in the game room' itself.
2567: What happened?
…
Kieran asked via private message.
Kieran didn't have much confidence in Rachel's answer.
Although he often appears in the Harvest Tavern, the real reason why he comes here, apart from Lawless' constant invitations, is the convenience of selling props.
It’s also because of lawlessness that I really connect with Rachel.
Other than that, he had no more personal relationship with Rachel.
Therefore, when Rachel gave the answer, Kieran was very surprised.
Rachel: Someone wanted to hire me to use 'off-the-books' tactics to get rid of a certain threat, and then... it failed.
…
A short answer, but it reveals extraordinary information.
"'Outside the game'?"
"A threat?"
Qin Ran was thinking in his heart, and his squinted eyes suddenly widened.
Off-board moves, as the name suggests, are illegal moves that leave the immediate area.
What's in front of you?
game!
That's a trick outside of the game.
And what threat is worth hiring Rachel to solve outside the game?
Witch!
Apart from this answer, Qin Ran couldn't think of any other answer.
Immediately, Kieran sent a private message.
Rachel: Well, it’s the witch.
Rachel: Then, I failed.
2567: Failure?
…
Qin Ran couldn't help but ask.
The female owner of the tavern seemed to be caught in some bad memories, and it took two or three seconds before she came back to her senses.
Rachel: Yeah, failed.
Rachel: A mission that should have been easy has turned into a surprise! As if... as if the whole world was against you.
Rachel: And, what's even weirder, it's only when you're facing the 'Witch'!
…
"As if the whole world is against you?"
"Is this the case only when facing a 'witch'?"
"Destiny's Child?"
Unable to bear it, Kieran thought of a book called "Child of Destiny" in the small study of the "God of the Earth" Nikelle.
The whole book is very thick, with as many as two hundred pages, but the content is exactly the same.
Most of them are short stories in which the protagonist faces unimaginable difficulties, but unexpectedly solves them smoothly.
Among them, what impresses Qin Ran the most is: No matter how powerful the enemy is, facing the protagonist will always become the nourishment for the protagonist's growth.
And every time the protagonist survives a catastrophe, he will become stronger and stronger until he finally defeats the powerful enemy that should have been invincible.
The story of the whole book seems to be unreasonable in Qin Ran's opinion, but it is undoubtedly the best reading to pass the time. Moreover, the book itself is also positioned as entertainment.
The reason why Qin Ran finished reading it was because the author of the book itself was Nichelle.
He wants to find more, possibly hidden knowledge.
But the end result was disappointing.
However, Kieran remembered a sentence in the book.
'Don't go against Destiny's Child, because you will be hated by the whole world! ’
What is it like to be hated by the whole world?
Choked to death after drinking water?
Got hit by a car while out?
Or simply be struck to death by lightning?
Kieran would shudder just imagining it.
"What a terrifying 'witch'..."
Qin Ran murmured in a low voice, and then sent another private message.
Rachel: Then?
Rachel: Of course it's revenge from the 'Witch'.
Rachel: Facing her former friends, the 'Witch' was bloody and merciless. Anyone who had anything to do with that person was killed. Even the few guys who were lucky enough to hide in the game room couldn't escape. .
Rachel: Don’t worry, the ‘Witch’ didn’t hire us. Those guys had already been seriously injured in the battle with the Witch. Facing the new dungeon world, there was only one way to die.
Rachel: Are you curious, why can I survive?
…
Kieran nodded without hiding it.
The female owner of the tavern picked up the cup and took a sip of the sweet wine before continuing to send a private message.
Rachel: Because I paid the same price.
2567: The same price as life?
…
The female owner of the tavern did not answer, and the conversation between the two parties fell into silence.
Kieran believed that the price Rachel paid must be high.
Just like he believed, Karls would not be an idiot enough to leak his address.
Similarly, Karls will not sign a contract that threatens his own safety.
And apart from these two points, what else is possible?
Qin Ran was confused and fell into more thoughts.
Coincidentally, at this time, another 'lone traveler' visited the tavern.
Kieran's eyes lit up as he looked at the 'lone traveler' who walked in.
"The game room can block dangers from outside the room!"
"But what if the danger is lurking directly in the room?"
"I'm afraid you only need to pay a certain price to complete this impossible murder!"
Kieran thought of Alan, the abandoned son of the 'broker'.
Under pressure, the opponent used the [Ten-fold Slow Down Cooling Card] on him, and the entire process was completed in his game room.
Suppose the [10x Slow Down Cooling Card] is replaced by other deadly props.
Even the murder can be completed without the use of manpower.
And the only thing that needs to be proven is...
Is there such a prop, or can someone hide the true appearance of the prop.
Immediately, Kieran asked the female owner of the tavern in a private message.
Rachel: Who knows?
Rachel: Huge cities are changing every day. Even those of us who entered first have only seen the tip of the iceberg of underground games.
Rachel: No one can be sure what kind of skills or props will appear.
Rachel: Just like, if I didn't see it with my own eyes, how could I believe that in 2567, you have reached the point of confronting the "God" in a short period of time.
…
The female owner of the tavern obviously didn't want to talk about these things anymore, so she brought the topic to Kieran's original question.
2567: You know?
…
"certainly!"
"However, it's expensive."
This time, the female owner of the tavern did not send a private message, but spoke directly.
Looking at the other party holding the wine glass, he looked calm and relaxed.
Inexplicably, Qin Ran started to feel pain.
Hoo, ho!
Qin Ran took deep breaths several times in succession, thinking that he was fully prepared, and then asked: "How much?"
But then, the price quoted by the female owner of the tavern still made Qin Ran feel his heart skip a beat.
