Chapter 1165 Approaching

The man stood in the distance, looking at the building shrouded in coldness, with a mixture of shock and anger on his face.

"Chi!"

"Why is Chi here?"

"damn it!"

"Is this your trump card?"

"Do you really think...huh?!"

The man who was gritting his teeth was suddenly startled.

He found that there was something wrong with that cold aura.

Not just disorder, but...

weak!

"So that's it!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

"It's just a remnant of the clone!"

"Onuma, you're dead!"

The man laughed wildly, and the next moment, he disappeared.

…

[The imitation Yancheng Bracelet] once again guided Qin Ran's path.

The staircase in front of me is no different from the one in the Onuma mansion. The same one is divided into nine layers, the same one has 108 steps each, and each step is 33 centimeters. There is also the same seal engraved with a pair of words that Qin Ran cannot distinguish. Ancient paintings.

However, there is a difference.

This place is much more dangerous than the steps in Onuma Mansion.

The aura of danger that could not be seen with the naked eye, but was real, pressed on Kieran's heart like a mountain.

Even with guidance, Kieran was careful every step he took.

Kieran had anticipated the danger.

After all, every time he digs deeply into the current copy world and obtains benefits far beyond ordinary people.

But this time it's different.

Calculated numerically, if we compare the dungeon world of [Demon City] under normal conditions to 1, then according to Qin Ran's usual experience, after digging deeply, the difficulty should be 2 or 3, but in reality? It has reached 5 or more.

"We cannot look at every copy world based on past rules and experiences."

"Every replica world is different."

"Especially after the appearance of gods and demons."

Qin Ran reminded himself to keep in mind the lessons learned this time.

Then, keep moving forward.

As for giving up?

Do not make jokes!

At this point, Kieran would never give up.

Not only the main tasks, but also the considerable benefits.

Risks and benefits are directly proportional!

This is what Qin Ran firmly believes.

This is also the theme that underground games will never change.

The stairs eventually came to an end, and when the main building complex that looked like a palace appeared, the [imitation Bracelet of Yancheng] completely dimmed.

It has lost its effect.

But it also did its best.

Because, Qin Ran had already passed through the palace gate and saw Onuma standing there.

Onuma's body becomes illusory and his face is smiling.

"Faster than I thought."

Onuma said.

"Gotta be thankful for it."

Qin Ran held the [imitation Yancheng Bracelet] and said sincerely.

There was no falsehood in the slightest, and the thanks came from the bottom of my heart, because Qin Ran knew very well that if he didn't have this [Imitation Yancheng Bracelet], even if he could get here, he would have to pay a very heavy price.

So, after thanking him, Kieran looked at Onuma questioningly.

"Aren't you going to explain it to me?"

Qin Ran said.

"I have a formidable enemy."

"He is both powerful and cunning. He keeps staring at me like a tarsal maggot, and he also creates suspicions to make me paralyzed."

"So, I had to do it."

Onuma sighed.

But it was obvious that such words could not convince Kieran.

"Is it because of the suspicion? Are you being careless?"

"Please don't use these two words to describe him and yourself. This will cause fundamental misunderstandings—you dare to swear by your real name, haven't you discovered the guy behind the 'Piercing Stab'?"

"With the appearance of [Tearing Secret Medicine], you should discover everything!"

"That kind of secret medicine can't be made by ordinary people, it must need the help of a 'medicine girl', and gods with cities like Lincheng, Duocheng, and Yecheng can't support a 'medicine girl', and a wandering guy How can you support a 'medicine girl'?"

Qin Ran sneered.

After learning about the 'craftsman demon' and 'medicine girl' from the old monk of Luosheng Temple, Qin Ran expressed deep doubts about the ability of the 'Piercing Thorn' to make [Tearing Secret Medicine].

And what happened next turned Qin Ran's doubts into reality.

The 'piercing thorn' is just a puppet pushed out by some mastermind behind the scenes.

Even the ‘God of Forest City’ is a puppet who is kept in the dark and thinks he is smart.

All this is the plan of the mastermind behind the scenes.

At first, Kieran was also deceived.

It wasn't that Kieran wasn't cautious enough.

Simply because the information is not equal.

But this kind of inequality will never appear in the aboriginal Onuma.

"I swear by my real name, I really didn't spot that guy until I met your impostor."

Facing Qin Ran's questioning, Onuma solemnly said a series of names with about sixteen syllables, and with his momentum.

This straightforward approach made Qin Ran frown.

"You really don't know?"

Qin Ran asked.

"If I really knew, I wouldn't be as passive as I am now."

"2567 Do you know?"

"I haven't been so nervous in years!"

"After seeing your counterfeit, I knew it was that guy! The guy who has been claimed to be dead is actually a fake death! He still stared at me from the beginning to the end, and made a so-called 'piercing thorn' to attract My attention!”

"He succeeded."

"Not only did I not notice it, but I opened it in the way he wanted—if he hadn't been unable to confirm what was hidden here, he would have rushed in."

"Therefore, I will try my best to leave you clues, just hoping that you can help me at the last moment."

Onuma said with a wry smile.

"The existence in that archway is much stronger than me."

Qin Ran pointed behind him.

"If Lord Chi is complete, of course I don't need to be so nervous."

"But that's just Lord Chi's clone, a clone that had to be separated in order to make up for her own hidden dangers - simply put, she is completely out of my control."

"and……"

"Even if it is a clone, Master Chi has just left."

"She's out of here, and that guy is sure to take his chances."

A wry smile spread across Onuma's face once again.

Then, Onuma took a deep breath and looked at Qin Ran with a solemn expression.

"Can you help me delay some time?"

Onuma asked.

[Trigger special event: the mastermind behind the scenes]

【Whether to accept? 】

…

Seeing the special event that happened, Kieran nodded his head very simply.

[The man behind the scenes: You discovered the secret behind the 'Piercing Thorn', and, within the specified time, appeared in front of Onuma's phantom. Facing Onuma's request, you are obliged. 】

[According to the player's behavior, it is determined to join the Onuma camp. 】

(Note 1: In special events, the better the player’s performance, the higher the evaluation)

(Note 2: Player performance, including but not limited to combat)

…

"Very good."

"I swear by my real name, the person in front of me will be my eternal brother, and I am willing to share my fame, power, wealth, and status with him."

Onuma made a series of vows excitedly.

After this oath, a generous breath from the earth slowly melted into Qin Ran's body.

【Obtain Onuma's Brotherhood Oath! 】

[Within the scope of Yancheng, get a little favor of fate! 】

…

The system prompt appeared in front of him, but Kieran's gaze was looking into the distance.

There, there was an aura full of malice.

And it is approaching rapidly.
