The Devil’s Cage

Chapter 1374 Kesman’s Bottle

Bang bang bang!

Kieran's legs kicked one after another on the sandbag that was as tall as a person in front of him. The sandbag hanging on the ceiling made a series of muffled sounds.

The muffled sound lasted for five minutes before it stopped.

Huh, huh.

Kieran was panting and wiping sweat. The fatigue on his face could not be concealed at any cost, but at the same time, his eyes were extremely bright.

Some of his previous guesses were confirmed one by one in the past few days.

The most direct one is the guessing between physical attributes and skills.

In the interfered copy world in front of us, although the physical fitness is limited to the limit of ordinary people, the skills are not. Once unsealed, they will be extraordinary.

But the extraordinary level of skills does not match the extreme physical fitness of ordinary people.

The latter is already incredible in the eyes of ordinary people.

But it’s simply not enough for the former.

The most basic example: For the extraordinary level [Unarmed Fighting], the basic conditions are strength D+, agility D+, and constitution D+. For Kieran, whose attributes are all E+ at the moment, there is a whole level difference.

However, the extraordinary level [Unarmed Combat] can still be used.

But the power has dropped by more than a little bit, and more importantly... consumption!

According to Kieran's comparison, when he used his legs to fight, his consumption was more than double that of the normal state. When he fought against the Bomb Demon before, he clearly felt the difference, and in the past few days, he began to Each of these differences is detailed and firmly recorded in my mind.

This is not only Kieran's habit.

It was also because Qin Ran knew the inevitability of doing this.

A person who does not know where the limits of his own strength are is far inferior to a person who understands the limits of his strength and distributes his physical strength rationally.

Kieran didn't want to be the former.

Especially in a strange dungeon world.

Picking up the water glass on the side, Qin Ran drank the warm water with salt in small sips, and then walked to the sandbag again.

After taking a deep breath, Kieran kicked out again.

Bang, bang bang!

A quick kick caused the muffled sound to echo again.

However, the difference from before was that although the muffled sound this time was much smaller, it became more and more persistent.

Ten minutes later, when Kieran stopped, he still looked at ease.

Kieran's time these days was not in vain.

After proving his guess about the relationship between physical attributes and skills, he began to work hard to adjust himself, striving to display the corresponding skill power with his current physical attributes.

To put it simply, he trained [unarmed combat] from the basics again and mastered his own rhythm.

It's not easy to do so.

Kieran failed many times.

Fortunately, Kieran is not a person who is afraid of failure.

So, he finally succeeded.

Not only is he able to exert the corresponding power of skills with his current physical attributes, but he also seems to have a different understanding of the mastery of skills.

Although there is no precise text prompt in the skill column, the wonderful sense of mastery is deep in my heart.

Kieran was very sure of this.

However, Kieran also confirmed one thing: he seemed to be lacking somewhere.

Although he was unable to determine where this deficiency came from at the moment, he was sure that if he found it, it would definitely be of great help to his strength.

Therefore, Qin Ran adjusted himself while groping for other skills.

He hopes to find that little bit of 'inspiration' through different attempts.

Of course, Kieran did not try all of them. Some skills that could not reach the most basic attributes were not tried by Kieran at all.

The most typical one is [Sword Skill. Ten Thousand Snakes]!

For [Sword Skill. Ten Thousand Snakes], whose basic level requires B-level spirit, and for Kieran, who only has E+ spirit at the moment, the nearly three-level difference in attributes is really an insurmountable barrier.

Moreover, the mystery of the spiritual attribute made Kieran even more vigilant.

Overdrawing too much physical strength may only make you tired for a while.

But what about overdrafting your spirit?

I'm afraid it's very possible to become a fool.

This is not Kieran's wild guess, but a speculation he made after gradually understanding the relationship between spirit and soul. Although there is no conclusive evidence, as long as there is a possibility in this regard, Kieran's character will not He made a rash attempt, after all, according to the plan, the day when he unsealed the attributes would not be too far away.

After these few days of accumulation, his reversal energy has reached three saves.

Moreover, hints of obtaining reversal energy are still appearing continuously.

Soon, the fourth reversal of energy conservation will occur.

But compared to the speed of the previous two days, starting today, this speed has declined.

"After the novelty wears off, is it naturally forgotten?"

"It's a horrific competitive environment."

Qin Ran sighed in a low voice.

He could easily imagine the fear and despair of a famous person when he is gradually forgotten. Unless he has real persistence, he will definitely do some extremely exaggerated things.

These things are extremely unbelievable to ordinary people, but they are taken for granted by people around famous people.

because……

Once the rewards of fame have been tasted, all that becomes dull.

It's like a right.

It is both a miracle drug and a poison.

Once you have a little contact, you will sink into it.

However, Qin Ran was not among them.

His purpose is clear and there is no way he will get lost in it.

Tread, tap, tap.

Kieran walked up the steps, and when he opened the door and left the underground training ground, he saw Eckerd sitting on the sofa in the living room.

Behind Eckerd stood a tall and fierce bodyguard.

Not only behind Ickerd, but also around the villa, there were three such bodyguards, providing 24-hour security services for Kieran.

These were all arranged by Eckerd.

After learning that the Bomb Demon was from the Norred Church, the deputy director arranged all this as quickly as possible. When Noona appeared on behalf of the Hypnotist Association, the deputy director arranged for people to doubled.

In fact, if it weren't for the insufficient number of ace bodyguards in the security company, Eckerd would really like to have a team of fully armed bodyguards guarding himself and Kieran.

"How about it?"

"Are you still used to this place?"

"Do you need me to help you find someone... to accompany you to relieve your loneliness?"

Eckerd waved to Kieran.

As the cooperation further deepened, the relationship between the two became closer, and now they can joke and chat casually like friends.

"Need not."

"It's very nice here. I don't want to be disturbed by strangers."

Kieran seriously rejected Eckerd's proposal.

Because he knew that if he didn't refuse seriously, the Eckerd in front of him would really do this.

No one can underestimate the resources a deputy director of a television station has.

Qin Ran experienced this once when he moved here on the first day.

The scene was terrible at that time, and Kieran didn't want to experience such a bad experience again.

"Well, now is a special time."

"The presence of strangers is definitely a problem."

"The damn Nored Church."

After Eckerd nodded, he cursed softly again.

Kieran did not remind Eckerd of the error in his thinking. He knew that once he raised it, it would inevitably lead to a lot of tedious and useless inquiries.

Qin Ran didn't care about being called an ascetic monk.

But when faced with the suspicious looks from some acquaintances, Qin Ran couldn't deal with them calmly.

So, Kieran changed the topic.

“Not good enough in terms of food.”

Qin Ran said seriously.

"That's the best chef I could ask for."

"But some real chefs can't be impressed with money at all. They stay in their own stores and manage their own brands bit by bit."

Eckerd spread out his hands with a look of helplessness on his face.

The collaborators in front of me are undoubtedly excellent, and they are extremely reliable in terms of ability, character and moral character.

However, the tongue seems a bit too picky.

Some dishes that he thought were quite good were not praised at all by the other party, but the other party tried hard to eat every dish.

Very contradictory.

At least that's how it seems to Eckerd.

However, not annoying.

Therefore, Eckerd made arrangements with all his heart.

"I can only promise that if everything goes well, you will be able to taste food prepared by a true master tonight."

Eckerd said, taking a brown paper bag from the bodyguard's hand.

"Let's see."

"It's the material for this program."

"I selected it after discussing it with the production team for a long time."

Eckerd handed the brown paper bag to Kieran.

There is a thick pile of paper recording information in the paper bag, and there are as many as ten photos.

"Antique vase?"

"The bottle of doom?"

After Qin Ran glanced at the photos, he looked at the recording paper. The descriptions on it were extremely detailed.

This is a weapon made of gold and silver by the very famous craftsman Kesman at that time around 700 years after the founding of the New Federation.

Because of its high cost and exquisite craftsmanship, this vase was sought after by people as soon as it came out on the market. Taking this as an opportunity, Kesman began a tour of exhibitions throughout the federation. Not only did he make a fortune, but he also made this vase famous. The vase, known as 'Xman's Vase', became famous.

However, the good times did not last long. During the second federal exhibition tour, Kesman slipped and fell from the stage and died.

People didn't pay much attention at first, they just regarded it as an accident.

But then the exhibition team had accidents one after another. All the five people who led the exhibition team headed by Kessman died unexpectedly. More than ten people in the performance team who followed the exhibition team also had accidents at different times. All the same surprises.

The bottle of doom!

Gradually, this title became the name of 'Xman's Bottle', and its fame far exceeded the name 'Xman's Bottle'.

After a series of accidents, the second exhibition tour had to be terminated, but Kesman's son did not give up.

About half a year later, the third tour of the 'Xman's Bottle' began again.

But something even more surprising happened. Kesman's son committed suicide the night before the exhibition was to go on tour.

'I was wrong. '

'It certainly brings bad luck. '

There are these brief last words on the desk.

The unsuccessful third tour of the exhibition spread the bad luck of the 'Korsman's Bottle' throughout the New Commonwealth. It appeared in countless newspapers at the time, and the 'Korsman's Bottle' was eventually owned by the It was sent to a local private museum. It was not until a few days ago that the museum agreed to cooperate with the Yucheng Public Museum for joint display that the 'Xman's Bottle' reappeared.

Qin Ran quickly flipped through the paper, and after collecting the general information on it, he turned his gaze back to the photo.

The photo is in color, and it is very new. It is obviously not a recent replacement photo.

The dozen or so photos are all taken from different angles of the 'Kexman's Bottle', and there is nothing else.

"Do you have more detailed information about that time?"

"Newspaper clippings and some sketches of the scene of the accident."

Kieran raised his head and asked.

Before cameras became commonplace, sketching always occupied a considerable place.

"I've sent people to collect it."

"If you hurry, you can see it during tea time."

"Also, the time we agreed with the Yucheng Museum is at 7 p.m., after the museum closes."

Just like Ickerd knew that Qin Ran didn't like to be disturbed when he was reading, he knew even more clearly that when talking, if he wanted the chat to continue happily.

Then you'd better tell Kieran everything you know.

"Um……"

"Shall we leave now?"

"I'd like to see the bottle of doom in advance."

Qin Ran asked after pondering for a moment.

Although they had agreed on a time and had seen the photos, Kieran wouldn't mind seeing the so-called 'Bottle of Doom' with his own eyes.

"no problem."

Eckerd nodded.

Outside the Yucheng Museum, compared with the scattered crowds on weekdays, the number of people today has become denser.

The ten-meter-high banners hung by hot air balloons, the constantly scrolling electronic subtitles, and the introduction sounds that sound from time to time all tell everyone what the tourists are here for.

'Bottle of Doom'!

After the museum's publicity, tourists with sufficient curiosity have long been attracted.

As for the so-called ‘bad luck’?

Most people won’t believe it until it actually happens.

They believed even more that it was just a series of coincidences.

Or simply a made-up story.

Of course, there are also people who are in awe.

Such people simply do not exist among the crowd.

Apart from that, there are only people like Qin Ran who have ulterior motives.

"I'm going to buy a ticket."

The makeup artist's positioning of his identity was extremely clear, and he took the initiative to walk towards the makeshift ticket gate without Kieran opening his mouth.

The Yucheng Museum is open to the public, from Tuesday to Saturday every day, from 10 am to 6 pm every day. Most of the museum relies on the financial support of Yucheng, and a small part relies on donations.

But this time is different, because the 'Bottle of Doom' belongs to that private museum, and everything is focused on the other.

However, the ticket price of 15 yuan is not expensive.

But some people don't think so.

A thin man rushed into the museum when the ticket inspector wasn't paying attention.

"Stop! Stop!"

"Security! Security!"

The ticket inspector immediately shouted.

Immediately, several security guards rushed forward, but the thin man was extremely flexible and escaped from the capture of the security guards by dodging left and right.

Then……

Running towards Qin Ran's direction.
