Chapter 1522 Trap

The scream made Senior's expression change.

After he glanced at Kieran, the two of them involuntarily quickened their pace and rushed into the cafe.

The cafe was already in chaos at this moment.

Cups rolled down on the thick carpet, coffee spilled everywhere, high-backed chairs seemed to have been pushed over, lying across the narrow corridor, while the waiters and guests looked panicked and said something in their mouths. With panicked cries, they all ran outside the cafe.

"Stop!"

"Stop it all!"

"I'm Teacher Senior!"

"No one is allowed to leave without my permission!"

Senior stood at the door of the cafe and shouted loudly.

Immediately, the panicked crowd fell silent.

In Theoret, the name of teacher is still very useful. At least it can give people some comfort in this panic.

"Who is the store manager?"

Senior continued to ask, and when a middle-aged man came out, he immediately said: "Please help me maintain order."

Then, Senior dialed the contact and started to contact Professor Tails.

"Okay, I'll be there soon."

Professor Tails answered in the affirmative, making Senior breathe a sigh of relief. Then, he subconsciously turned his head and wanted to say something to Kieran, only to realize that at some point, Kieran had already walked into the cafe. , standing in front of the corpse with a dagger stuck in its chest.

"Professor Thales will be here soon."

"What, did you find anything?"

Senior said and asked again.

This kind of inquiry was completely subconscious, and he didn't expect Kieran to answer.

Therefore, when Kieran remained silent, Senior's eyes began to scan the surroundings. He needed to collect more information before Professor Tails arrived.

but……

In the chaos of the cafe, there was no valuable information at all.

Especially after discovering that the assassinated Delton was still sitting in the blind corner, Senior could not help but frown.

At this moment, Qin Ran suddenly asked.

"Is he Delton?"

"Well, he is Professor Delton."

Senior nodded without hesitation, with a sad expression on his face.

It was the sadness that a normal person would feel when seeing the corpse of the deceased. Even if his stance was different, Senior still showed due respect for the passing of a professor.

After receiving Senior's confirmation, Qin Ran fell silent again.

He looked at the corpse in front of him and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Professor Delton, who was sitting in the chair, was not only neatly dressed, but also had a straight back. If it weren't for the dagger on his chest, he would have looked just like the standard demonstration in etiquette books.

Obviously, Professor Delton should have been a person who paid great attention to clothing and etiquette during his lifetime. Even if his hair has turned gray, he would not allow his appearance to be inappropriate in any way. Such a person's choice of environment must be There are certain requirements.

At least, not so close to a trash can.

Kieran glanced at the trash can in the corner.

The trash cans that were about to end business for the day were already filled with garbage. As long as you were a little closer, you could smell the pungent odor.

Even an ordinary person's sense of smell would feel uncomfortable at this distance, let alone a professor-level figure.

"To deceive others?"

Kieran raised his head and glanced at the surveillance camera in the store, with confusion in his eyes.

Do you need to cover up to meet him?

Not required!

What happened in Delton's laboratory is almost universally known, and there is no need to cover it up. It is completely unnecessary.

Unless the other party wants to tell him something more secret.

Even because of this, the other party was killed.

For example……

"Guan Shi Lu"!

This was the only thing that Qin Ran could think of that could be called secret between the other party and him.

Qin Ran's eyes moved slightly.

He looked at the murder weapon, a dagger with its roots embedded in it.

There is no doubt that this dagger is extremely sharp, but what worries Qin Ran even more is the person who uses it.

Being able to kill a professor-level figure with one strike is definitely not a simple figure.

To be on the safe side, Kieran asked again.

"How strong is Professor Delton?"

"Being able to be called a professor represents extremely strong strength in Theoret. There may be some flaws in character, but there is no doubt about the strength."

Senior answered affirmatively.

"So, do you have anyone in mind?"

Qin Ran asked.

Compared to him, the other party is undoubtedly more familiar with Theorite.

"No!"

"There are many people I know who are very powerful, but there is no one who can kill Professor Delton with a single blow with a dagger."

"Maybe Professor Thales knows."

Senior shook his head.

Qin Ran didn't speak again.

He looked at the corpse in front of him, quietly observing and thinking. He always felt that he seemed to have missed something.

jingle!

The wind chimes in front of the cafe door rang, and Professor Tails walked in with a serious face. Behind him were uniformed guards.

Professor Tails nodded to Qin Ran and Senior, then walked towards the body.

Looking at the silent Professor Delton, Tails couldn't help but sigh secretly.

He knew that from this moment on, things were going to be beyond his expectations.

With his hands clasped together, Professor Tails saluted respectfully to the corpse.

Although the two sides had differences during their lifetime, Tails would not pursue them after his death.

The other party is dead and he is still alive, so what's the point of continuing to pursue it?

Not only Professor Tails was like this, but also the guards behind him, including Senior.

About three seconds later, Professor Tails put down his hands, put on his gloves, and was about to examine the body carefully, when Qin Ran, who had been thinking, suddenly spoke up.

"etc!"

"Everyone leave now!"

"hurry up!"

Qin Ran's tone was urgent, but the people around him looked at each other in confusion.

"2567, happened..."

"trap!"

"This is a trap!"

Kieran pointed at Senior, and then quickly walked out of the cafe.

Professor Tails was stunned for a moment, then thought of something, and his expression immediately changed.

"hurry up!"

"Leave now!"

Professor Tails repeated Kieran's words, and everyone immediately started running out of the cafe. The moment everyone left the cafe, Professor Delton's body began to erupt with heat beyond ordinary people's imagination. Just two or three seconds later——

boom!

The corpse exploded, and the powerful shock wave immediately shattered the entire cafe, and then the aftermath rushed in all directions.

Flames rolled and raged in it.

In the blink of an eye, everything within a 50-meter radius of the cafe was engulfed in flames.

what happened?

How is this going?

The successive changes made the people in the cafe completely sluggish. Even the few unlucky ones who had just fallen to the ground under the shock wave did not know how to scream at this time.

They stared blankly at everything in front of them.

Among them, Senior is included.

However, unlike ordinary people, Senior has already realized what is going on.

But just because he knew what was going on, Senior's face was still pale even under the light of the fire.

He was taken advantage of!

Professor Delton was also used!

The murderer perfectly used Professor Delton's excuses and the slightest dissatisfaction in his heart to create everything in front of him!

In some ways, Professor Delton died because of him!

Because the murderer's fundamental purpose was to use Delton's death to attract Professor Thales!

Think about it, what will he do when he returns here with 2567 and discovers the body of Professor Delton?

I will definitely contact Professor Tails as soon as possible!

If 2567 hadn't responded promptly...

Seeing the blazing sea of ​​fire in front of him, Senior couldn't help but shudder.

He turned his head and looked at Qin Ran, who was looking calm, and reluctantly showed an ugly smile.

"Thank you, thank you."

With the sound of thanks, Senior walked up to Professor Tails, lowered his head like a child who made a mistake, and said, "I'm sorry, Professor."

"It's okay, I don't blame you."

"only……"

Professor Tails comforted Senior, but looked at Kieran involuntarily.

Similarly, at this time, Qin Ran also looked at Tails.

"I think we need to talk."

Professor Tails said this.

"Yeah, I think so too."

Qin Ran nodded.

Without staying away from the fire scene, the two of them walked straight to the alley on one side, with Senior following closely behind at Tails's signal.

"Thank you for the reminder just now."

"I owe you a favor."

As soon as they entered the alley, Professor Tails confirmed that the surroundings were safe, and thanked Kieran for what had just happened. Then, after a pause, the professor continued to ask: "What do you think of Delton's death? "

""Guan Shi Lu"."

Kieran replied firmly.

Although Delton's death became a trap, Kieran did not change his original idea.

The death of Professor Delton was still due to "Guan Shi Lu".

As for Tails?

Kieran was extremely confident that the other party should also be investigating the "Guan Shi Lu" and even grasped some key things. Otherwise, the murderer who killed Delton would not have been able to set up a trap with so much effort. .

Of course, it is not ruled out that the murderer hates the other party.

Therefore, Qin Ran asked simply.

"Do you have any enemies?"

"Yes, there are quite a few, but none of them can reach this level."

"He should be here for "Guan Shi Lu"."

Tails smiled bitterly, and then chose to be honest to a certain extent.

There was no need to keep hiding it. When Kieran asked this question, Tails knew what the new chief in front of him must have guessed.

Tails has always been deeply impressed by the new chief in front of him.

Whether it was because the other party showed strength that didn't look like a new student at all, or because he remained calm at all times, Tails understood that the other party would definitely become a figure engraved in the history of Theorite, but when Just now, Tails realized that he still underestimated the new chief.

The opponent's performance will definitely not only be recorded in the history of Theorite, but also the kind of figure who will leave various legends.

Perhaps, the other party is still very weak now.

But as time goes by, the other party will definitely become so powerful that everyone will pay attention.

Therefore, he did not allow any accidents to happen to the other party.

"I don't know how much you know about "Guan Shilu"."

"But I want you to quit immediately."

"I will issue you an application form to temporarily go to Area A for further study. When things here are settled, I will pick you up."

Tails said sincerely.

"Do you think it's possible for me to quit?"

Qin Ran asked rhetorically.

"When you go to Area A, everything is possible."

"Senior will go with you, and when you get there, someone will take care of everything for you."

Tails said with a smile, and had already started to make arrangements for Qin Ran to go to Area A.

From Tails' point of view, if life and death were at stake, there was no need for Kieran to refuse, so when she saw Kieran shaking his head, Tails looked surprised.

"Why?"

"Are you worried about the people behind David and Garcia?"

"Don't worry, they..."

"Thank you for your kindness, but I have my reasons why I can't leave."

Kieran interrupted the other party.

Maybe some accidents happened, but these accidents did not affect Kieran's plan, and even in Kieran's opinion, they were beneficial to him!

Because, in these accidents, Qin Ran vaguely saw the real traces of "Guan Shi Lu".

Under such premise, how could Qin Ran choose to leave.

Tails looked at Kieran in confusion, and finally sighed.

"I don't know why you chose to stay, but please be careful."

"If you encounter any trouble, please contact me immediately - I will urge the craftsmen to speed up the production of your contact device, and it will be delivered to your apartment before dawn."

Tails warned.

"Thanks."

"Is Edberg with you?"

After Qin Ran thanked him, he asked seemingly casually.

Tails was shocked and looked at Qin Ran blankly. He didn't know how Qin Ran discovered such a secret, but he finally chose to nod.

"yes."

"Did you go to the 'canteen' just to confirm your suspicion?"

"Did Edberg not escape your eyes?"

Unable to help it, Tails had a wry smile on his face again.

"I think you should pay more attention to Edberg."

"You're being targeted and I don't think he's going to be any better."

After Qin Ran said what he wanted to say, he waved to Tails, turned around and walked out of the alley.

He didn't ask more about "Guan Shi Lu" because Tails wouldn't say anything at all, even if the other party owed him a favor.

Just like him, he would not tell the other party the real reason why he went to the 'canteen'.

It’s about principle.

Looking at Kieran's leaving figure, Professor Tails took out the communicator without hesitation and started to contact Edberg.

Toot, toot, toot.

Continuous busy tone, no one answered.

Suddenly, Professor Tails' face turned ugly.
