The Devil’s Cage

Chapter 1376 Excellent Acting Skills

In a cafe outside the Yucheng Museum, Qin Ran met the curator.

"Hello, Mr. 2567."

"I am Bol Nelson. Due to some matters, I am sorry to have postponed our meeting."

A well-dressed old man with meticulously combed gray hair stood in front of Kieran and extended his right hand very politely.

"it does not matter."

After shaking hands with the other party, Qin Ran invited him to sit down.

"Need something to drink?"

"Should we proceed with the interview as discussed before?"

"Or do you have any new ideas?"

Eckerd asked.

"Just plain water."

"Everything is going according to what we discussed before. It is already my fault to change the agreed time. If I change anything else, my guilt will make it difficult for me to sleep."

The old curator was joking.

Obviously, this harmless joke quickly brought the people present closer together, and the previous atmosphere of estrangement and hostility was completely gone.

"Waiter, here."

"A cup of warm water, a cup of tea and a cup of pure coffee."

Eckerd raised his hand to greet the waiter and ordered drinks for the old curator, Qin Ran and himself.

After the drinks were served one by one, Eckerd gestured to the lights and camera.

After the lighting engineer and cameraman were quickly in place, Ickerd looked at the old curator. After the latter also said that there was no problem, Ickerd picked up the microphone.

That's right, Eckerd once again made a temporary guest appearance as host.

It’s not that Yucheng TV station doesn’t have suitable hosts.

In fact, with the increasing popularity of "Psychic", there are almost as many hosts who want to host this column as there are crucian carp crossing the river.

However, Eckerd would not give up the blocked column to others at will.

To put it simply, among so many hosts, there is no one of their own.

It's okay to be wrong about something once.

Eckerd would not do it a second time.

Similarly, in order to temporarily play the role of host, Eckerd also studied hard.

At least, he doesn't speak so staggeringly.

"Big guy, I'm Eckerd. Today our column team invites Mr. Paul Nelson, the director of Yucheng Museum..."

After an obviously formulaic beginning, the two parties quickly moved on to the 'Xman Bottle' through conversation.

Then, Nelson, the old curator, introduced the legendary history of the ‘Xman Bottle’ to the audience.

During this period, Eckerd would ask some questions from time to time.

Of course, these questions were chosen in advance, so they would not embarrass the old curator and be enough to satisfy the audience's curiosity.

Under such a premise, the atmosphere is naturally good.

However, from the beginning to the end, Qin Ran did not open his mouth to speak. He was leaning on the sofa in black, with one hand resting on the armrest of the sofa and the other supporting his cheek. The whole person seemed to be an outside observer and listener, but From the beginning, the camera never left Qin Ran.

This is what Eckerd took special care of.

He and the old curator are both foils, the real protagonist is Kieran.

Therefore, the lighting and cameraman’s angles were all based on Kieran.

Because of this, Qin Ran, who seemed to be sitting on the sofa casually, seemed to have merged into the darkness under the backlight, but his face was clearly visible. The whole person looked mysterious, but not disgusting.

After recording for about twenty minutes, Eckerd looked at Paul Nelson, who was obviously in low spirits, and raised his hand to signal for a break.

This time the program is not live broadcast, but recorded.

To put it simply, it is a program that has been edited and broadcast, and there are no mandatory requirements in some aspects.

"Do you need a break?"

Eckerd asked with concern.

The other person is old enough to be his grandfather and should be respected and cared for.

"Sorry, the ruthlessness of time has made me a little overwhelmed."

The old curator said with a wry smile.

"Okay, let's take a break for half an hour."

Because of the advance of the shooting time, the whole shooting process has become extremely abundant. Eckerd himself is not a guy who is harsh on himself, how to arrange the time reasonably according to the natural way.

"Go and rest for a while?"

"This is a better place for me."

Facing Eckerd's invitation, Qin Ran shook his head and just closed his eyes.

Eckerd shrugged.

Eckerd was really satisfied with his collaborator, except when he sometimes showed the characteristics of a complete ascetic monk.

If it weren't for the confirmation that Kieran had no faith, Eckerd would have almost truly believed that Kieran was a devout believer.

And now?

An eccentric guy is the only way to describe him.

Ignoring the sound of Eckerd's leaving footsteps, Kieran seemed to have closed his eyes, but a trace of doubt arose in his heart.

His closed eyes opened a crack, and Kieran could clearly see Paul Nelson sitting opposite, also closing his eyes and concentrating.

But the opponent's eyelids are moving, driven by the rotation of the eyeballs.

It was obvious that the other party was thinking rather than resting.

Similarly, just now, Kieran didn't notice that Paul Nelson was tired, he was just pretending to be out of energy.

"Why do you do this?"

Qin Ran thought silently.

Then, the thin man and the owners with malicious looks appeared in his mind involuntarily.

Could it be...

A more bold guess appeared in Qin Ran's mind.

"Director Nelson, can I ask you a question?"

Kieran suddenly spoke.

"what is the problem?"

"Also, just call me Bol."

"Of course, if it's your rules that make you call me by my last name, then follow your rules. This is my first time dealing with a psychic, so I don't know what to do."

The old curator opened his eyes and smiled at Qin Ran.

"Boll, psychics are almost the same as normal people."

"Except for some special talents, there is nothing worth paying attention to."

Kieran said in a relaxed tone, but his hand on the sofa made a subtle gesture towards Ickerd.

When Qin Ran took the initiative to speak, Eckerd, who walked aside to relax, was attracted. After seeing Qin Ran's gesture, Eckerd immediately rejected the hint from the good-looking waiter to continue the chat. Finally, he walked to the side and quietly made a phone call, and signaled the lighting and camera to start working.

The makeup artist on the side even cooperated closely and picked up the notepad, quickly wrote a sentence, and showed it to Paul Nelson——

‘Don’t worry, it’s just for the easter eggs later in the show. '

‘Just answer whatever you want. '

After seeing the words on the note pad, Paul Nelson, who was still slightly surprised, immediately returned to normal.

“If psychics aren’t worth caring about, there’s nothing worth caring about.”

"2567 You don't know how famous you are now. Many people around me are talking about you."

"If I were to switch with you, I wouldn't hesitate."

Paul Nelson still said in a joking tone.

"Yeah?"

"But if it were me, I would never choose this way."

"Because that will make you see things you don't want to see."

"Darkness surrounds you like air."

"While making you suffocated and despairing, it also keeps mocking you."

"They become them."

“Passion turned to coldness.”

"It's like..."

"'Xman's Bottle'!"

Qin Ran took a deep breath, slowly turned his head, and looked through the window at the museum, which was gradually becoming deserted in the sunset.

He seemed to be staring at something.

Everyone's eyes were drawn towards it.

People followed Kieran's line of sight and looked in one direction.

But apart from the museum, there is nothing.

But Qin Ran was too focused, as if he was really observing something. With that focused expression, the people around gradually felt that Qin Ran really saw something that they couldn't see.

After all, this person is a 'psychic'.

Then……

came the hoarse, deep voice.

"Do you believe in bad luck?"
