The Devil’s Cage

Chapter 1500 Habits, Miracles

Qin Ran didn't move.

Because he could tell that Emma Eddie's knife would not stab him.

In fact, this is also true.

The seemingly sharp knife grazed Kieran's ear and pierced into the pillow.

Emma Eddie, who was holding the knife in his hand, looked at Kieran carefully. When he found that Kieran didn't even blink, the other party's brows furrowed.

Then, he pulled out the knife.

Suddenly, the down and cotton in the pillow flew out and stained Kieran's head and face, making Kieran look extremely embarrassed.

But Qin Ran's eyes were still calm.

Facing these calm eyes, Emma Eddie's frown became tighter.

"You have neither fear nor anger."

"Is it because you confirm that I will not cause any real harm to you?"

Obviously, Emma Eddie, who has changed her identity, has enough knowledge and observation skills to match her current identity.

Qin Ran didn't answer, just looked around quietly.

From the very beginning, he has been observing like this.

He expected to find something different.

because……

From beginning to end, he had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

"Are you refusing to answer because you girdle your pockets?"

"I can take it off for you."

Emma Eddie faced the silent Kieran and spoke again.

This time, she chose another breakthrough.

Of course, as soon as she finished speaking, she issued a corresponding warning.

"But you need to promise me that you won't do anything extraordinary - all I have to do here is scream or make any abnormal noise, and Sheriff Pudke and Odock outside the door will come in , the former has admirable abilities and is equipped with weapons, while the latter is very reliable and has a strong body that is convincing enough."

Kieran didn't mind getting rid of the foreign object in his mouth.

So, after the other party finished speaking, he nodded.

Seeing Kieran's cooperation for the first time made Emma Eddie smile. She thought her first step had been successful.

Emma Eddie walked around to the side of the bed and untied Kieran's bag from a safe position. And, the moment she untied it, she quickly took a step back, as if she was worried that Kieran would bite someone. .

However, it was obvious that the other party was overly worried.

After Qin Ran broke away from the annoying restraint, he just licked the inside of his mouth with his tongue and fell silent again.

Seeing the ridge on Kieran's face, Emma Eddie subconsciously recalled the scrolls she had seen, and a trace of disgust immediately flashed in her eyes.

But in a flash, Emma Eddie regained her composure.

She is here to prove the other person's guilt.

Rather than being frightened by the other party.

Although cannibals are scary, they don't scare her!

"What do you want to say to your parents?"

"If one of them needed your blood and spinal cord to survive, would you save them?"

Emma Eddy asked.

Kieran didn't answer, his eyes showed no fluctuation.

He really had nothing to say to his parents whom he had never met.

If I had to describe it, it would be almost like a stranger.

Even, from a certain perspective, he still had a trace of hatred.

Of course, that's his own business.

It has nothing to do with the inquiry at hand.

"Do you like cats and dogs?"

"Or other pets?"

Emma Eddie asked again.

Still silent.

"What would you do if you were given a chance to go out?"

Another unanswered question.

Emma Eddie asked Kieran more than a dozen questions in the next half hour, but Kieran could not answer any of them.

"Mr. 2567, you are very uncooperative."

"We all know what it's for."

"But we know better that doing so won't make more changes - see you tomorrow!"

Finally, Emma Eddie said this.

Kieran was once again pushed back to the room by Odok.

During the period, I ate a meal, which was sticky and bean-flavored liquid food.

Then, he saw Emma Eddy again, still in the dean's office.

Fries is still gone, it's still Emma Eddy and Puddek.

And this time was the same, Kieran remained silent, and the other party got nothing.

The food after that was still bean-flavored liquid food.

By this time, Qin Ran was able to confirm that there was only one meal a day here, at least he was like this, and he didn't know about the others.

He sees many big people every day.

But these people were all indifferent.

The drawstring bag can only be lifted in the dean's office, and he can't ask anything.

And in the past two days, the person Qin Ran was most familiar with was not Emma Eddy who kept asking him, but Odok who was the nurse and supervisor.

Seemingly realizing that Kieran was not as cruel as rumored, Odok would chat with Kieran from time to time. Of course, it was the kind of chat he was talking to himself. The content of the chat was also about the weather, salary, and... Wife, children and other insignificant things.

Through the other party's words, Qin Ran understood the world he was in at the moment.

On the third day, after eating the bean-flavored liquid food, Qin Ran was pushed into the dean's office again.

With the previous relationship, Emma Eddie became very familiar with it. After Sheriff Pudek and Oddock left, she untied the drawstring bag for Qin Ran.

"How's it going today?"

Emma Eddie asked routinely.

She usually starts with such words.

He never thought that Qin Ran would answer.

But this time it was different, Kieran spoke.

"not so good."

Qin Ran said this.

Hearing Qin Ran's voice, Emma Eddie was taken aback, and then looked at Qin Ran with a little joy.

"It's the first time I hear your voice. It's not bad."

Emma Addy tried to be friendly.

"I've seen you look like this several times. It's really not that good. You're still suitable for a leather jacket, T-shirt, jeans and short hair. It would be even more perfect if you had a nose stud."

Kieran said calmly.

"Are you imagining me into someone?"

Emma Eddie asked with a frown.

"of course not."

"I'm just telling you one more fact. I haven't been able to detect you until now... no, it's how you appeared, but you seem to keep making me believe that I am a mentally disturbed murderer. The eyes are all like this.”

"And Odoc's narrative conveys the integrity of the world to me every day."

"But he went too far, or you were eager to make me believe that this was a complete world, using him and the family he made up to deceive me, but you ignored a smoking-loving and careful caregiver. If he has a wife, When it comes to children, he will never come home and show up with a strong smell of cigarettes every time, especially since he has shown that he needs to rush to and from the shuttle bus every day, has no more free time, and has to wait for the elevator. It’s time for a cigarette or two.”

"Of course, it's more than that."

"He said that his salary is very meager, and he loves his wife and children very much, so for the sake of his wife and children, he should smoke one or two less cigarettes instead of two or three packs of cigarettes a day as usual. .”

"And yesterday he said it was raining and the ground was slippery. He almost fell, but his shoes were very clean. You could say he had wiped them. But where were the pants? Those pants were from when I saw him. , which he wears all the time, and he specifically showed me that it has his wife’s handiwork on it—an extra trouser pan, so that he can better put his belt in it.”

"If you say that these are all my delusions."

"So……"

"I want to meet Frith!"

"I don't need to hear his voice or see his picture, I need Fries in front of me."

"can you do it?"

Qin Ran asked word for word.

Then, Emma Eddie became obviously sluggish.

"You obviously can't."

"Perhaps you have complete memories about yourself and even Fries's whereabouts in your mind, but you cannot rely on these memories to find Fries."

"because……"

"Creating you, Sheriff Pdek, and Oddock is the limit."

"It can no longer create a person like Fries whose blood has already been extraordinary and has reached a certain level, let alone a person like Dresden."

"Even the sound and image of Dresden cannot be replicated."

"Otherwise, it would definitely use a more convincing Dresden as the dean here, rather than Fries."

As Qin Ran's voice fell, the sluggish Emma Eddie moved.

She was as stiff as a puppet, she turned her head and looked at Qin Ran.

"This time you win!"

"But this is just the beginning!"

"You will eventually be overwhelmed by illusion!"

In the cold, mechanical voice, everything in front of me shattered.

Darkness fell.

The light came on.

When Kieran regained his sight again, he was already sitting on a sofa with his backpack at his feet.

And everything around him is very familiar.

No. 17, Langton Street, study room.

This is the place he stayed for a long time in the last copy world, far exceeding his knowledge of other places.

Therefore, everything here is familiar to him.

From the arrangement of the bookshelves, the brightness and darkness of the desk lamps, to the position of each book, Qin Ran memorized it by heart.

After checking them one by one, they were all the same as he remembered.

And when Kieran pushed open the door of the study, Fries and Odok were busy.

"My lord, your lunch will be ready soon, please wait a moment."

"Of course, if you have any special needs, please let me know."

Frith saluted respectfully and gracefully, like a real butler.

"No, follow your pace, Ferris."

Kieran said and sat in the chair.

"Yes, my lord."

With a promise, Frith took Odok to action.

As Fries said, lunch will be ready soon.

The pre-dinner drink was replaced by lemon honey water because Kieran refused alcoholic drinks. However, Frith still followed etiquette and took out the frozen cup from the refrigerator.

The cold taste was sweet and sour, flowing from his tongue to his stomach. Qin Ran couldn't help but sit up straight. He couldn't wait any longer.

The appetizer is honey chicken wings. The chicken wings are boneless and can be eaten in one bite. The stack of chicken wings disappeared almost the moment it was served.

When the bread, butter, and cheese arrived, there was still half of the cream of oyster bisque and the salad was almost finished.

Kieran tore open the bread, absorbed the soup and put it in his mouth. Feeling the soup instantly filling his mouth, he couldn't help but let out a soft hum of satisfaction.

The steamed lobster was served with the steak.

Next to the dinner plate, Fries thoughtfully placed some water.

After drinking the water in one gulp, Qin Ran grabbed the fattest part of the lobster and stuffed it into his mouth. It was delicious but not astringent. Without more combinations, the freshness of the lobster was the best guarantee.

The same goes for the steak, but the sauce is more prominent. Instead of choosing red wine, a sauce mixed with white pepper and kale is used, which better blocks the umami flavor of the beef, especially the right heat, which gives way to the beef. The sirloin steak on the back becomes very tough without clogging your teeth.

For dessert, Fries chose lemon mousse in order to neutralize the greasiness.

Kieran swallowed it in one gulp and picked up the drink that was served again.

No longer lemon honey water, but apple juice.

The same sweet and sour taste, but more mellow.

Qin Ran slowly stood up with the cup in hand. After he drank the last bit of apple juice, he slowly said: "It's really good! In addition to being able to eat food of similar quality... there, I I have never met such an excellent chef."

"I haven't found it in Aikender City before. Is it because I didn't search carefully enough? Or has your cooking skills improved so much in a short period of time, Fries, to a level that is beyond the reach of ordinary people?"

Kieran put down the cup and walked towards Fries as he spoke.

However, before Kieran could get closer, Frith disappeared.

There is no doubt that this is still illusory.

When it returned to normal again, Kieran was already standing in the Smallville neighborhood.

There are still traces of his battle with the 'Maleficent Dragon' and 'Death Knell' around.

Dresden was running towards him with the other superheroes in Ikende City.

There was genuine joy on everyone's face.

They certainly have reasons for joy.

You know, this time they not only eliminated the cancers in the Smallville neighborhood, but the 'Gluttony King' also killed two restless bastards, the 'Dragon of Resentment' and 'Death Knell'.

Maybe as time goes by, new bastards will appear in the city of Aikender.

However, in the next period of time, ordinary citizens in Aikande City will have a long and stable life.

Those guys who have always followed the example of the 'Maleficent Dragon' and 'Death Knell' will definitely learn a lesson from this incident.

And all of this was done by the man in front of him.

Especially after hearing what ‘Eye’ Willis said, these extraordinary beings were all grateful and proud to have companions like Qin Ran.

The most exciting one among them is Dresden, the ‘Fist of Justice’.

He walked up to Kieran and couldn't control himself and hugged Kieran.

"Nice job, 2567!"

"do you know?"

"I……"

"Who are you?"

Qin Ran's voice lightly interrupted the other party's words.

'Dresden' subconsciously wanted to retreat, but was locked firmly in Kieran's arms, and only his upper body finished leaning back.

The other party's face was filled with astonishment and disbelief.

Obviously, the other party didn't understand how Qin Ran found out.

Obviously, I have abandoned all scruples, used all my reserved strength, and done my best, but why was it still discovered?

At this moment, Qin Ran's faint voice sounded again.

"It's really fake."

‘Dreston’ was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned red.

"Are you bluffing me?!"

The other party yelled.

But it was no longer useful, Kieran's arms tightened instantly.
