The Devil’s Cage

Chapter 1537 Cooperation?

Facing the former Dark Eater who was kneeling on one knee, Kieran did not speak immediately, but picked up the communicator on the table and waved to the Frost Wolf.

The smart Frost Wolf immediately ran over, picked up the communicator and ran outside. When he sensed the safe enough distance through the contract, Qin Ran asked: "Leister, who among the Dark Eaters might be Is there dinner-level food?”

"As far as I know, no."

"Dark Eaters are essentially plunderers. Unless something unexpected happens, they will eat the food they get as soon as possible to enhance their own strength."

The former Dark Eater shook his head.

"is that so?"

Although he had already made a similar guess, Kieran still felt a little regretful when the guess was confirmed.

However, this did not prevent Kieran from questioning the former Dark Eater later.

Compared with the information obtained from books, the information from Lester's mouth in front of him was undoubtedly more specific, comprehensive and true.

"The Dark Eaters have a loose alliance structure, and they will occasionally hold gatherings and the like. Most of the time, they provide shelter for the Dark Eaters. Of course, you need to give corresponding remuneration. If not, don't expect to get any help at all. .”

"There are few fights among the Dark Eaters, but it is not impossible. Once it breaks out, it is basically a life-and-death battle. The Dark Eaters Alliance will not give any help to either side, nor will it dissuade them."

"The Dark Eater Alliance in Triote was wiped out once by Ron Musi, the dean of Area E, but it quickly resurrected, and the Dark Eaters are becoming more and more careful to hide."

Lester told everything he knew, including what he had not told Senior or the clerk.

"Resurrection?"

"Are there many people?"

Qin Ran asked immediately when he heard what he was most interested in.

"It's impossible to say for sure, but judging from the last gathering, 30 people attended. It's definitely not a small number of people."

"Because many secret eaters will not attend these gatherings at all. They are more accustomed to sending representatives to attend. At least the things that appear at that gathering are definitely not something that one or two people can collect."

Lester expressed his inference.

"When is the next meeting of the Dark Eaters?"

Qin Ran continued to ask.

"If the date hadn't been changed, it would have been during the three days of Theorite's anniversary!"

Lester replied.

Kieran knew about Theriault's anniversary. He still got the information from books.

Starting from the Friday of the second week of October every year until the early morning of Sunday, there are a total of three days to celebrate the anniversary of the founding of Theorate School, and the "curfew" of Theorate throughout the year will be during those three days. There will be carnival all night long, and students from all grades will take to the streets to celebrate in their own way.

Fireworks and floats are a must.

But what remains fresh in Kieran’s memory is the ‘Food Battle’ mentioned above - a battle competition where you can get food at one-tenth of the usual price, or even lower.

Unconsciously, Qin Ran felt his saliva secrete rapidly again.

He took a deep breath and swallowed back the saliva.

There is still a while, he needs to be patient.

Moreover, there are more important things to do in front of you.

The conversation lasted for about half an hour, and when the sky lit up slightly, the conversation truly ended.

"Sir, if you are worried about the communicator, you can leave it to me for modification."

Lester said suddenly at the end of the conversation.

"OK."

Qin Ran glanced at the former Dark Eater in surprise. What he didn't expect was that the other party was actually good at mechanical modification. When the other party took out his tool bag and skillfully disassembled the communicator brought back by the Frost Wolf, Kieran wisely chose to give up watching.

He couldn't understand the large number of fuses, transistors, etc. at all.

Although after becoming a lone traveler, Kieran tried his best to make himself more comprehensive, but this "comprehensive" preferred fighting.

As for outside of combat?

You can't expect one person to know everything.

Just like you can't expect Kieran to give up the food in his hand to other strangers.

About twenty minutes later, Lester handed the installed communicator to Kieran.

"There is no problem inside. I also added a defense module to make it immune to eavesdropping. Even if someone actually breaks through its defense module, it will call the police."

Lester explained to Kieran.

When Kieran became proficient in using this communicator, the whole apartment became lively, and the freshmen once again woke up from their sleep to welcome a new day.

But every day in Theoret is destined to be extraordinary.

What happened last night has already spread throughout the entire age.

Whether it was the death of more than fifty people or the dark eater's turning from darkness to light, it was so legendary in the eyes of all the freshmen.

And when two legendary things originate from one person, that person naturally becomes a legend.

Every freshman who passed by the door of Kieran's room would stop and look there in awe, even Micah and Stanter.

Especially Micah.

"Is the difference so big?"

The freshman chief's deputy muttered under his breath.

Micah is not afraid of fighting, and in some ways he even likes fighting, but because of this, he is quite self-aware.

One person faces fifty people.

Even if he has some special ability, he can't defeat it.

You must know that the number of fifty is no longer a qualitative change caused by a quantitative change, but every opponent that needs to be taken seriously by him to win.

Once there are more than two?

You will definitely lose!

After getting the identities of the attackers from his friends, Micah knew this.

"Don't worry, Chief is different from us."

Seeing his friend's devastated appearance since he woke up, Stant regretted telling his friend the information he knew.

"Uh-huh."

Micah nodded repeatedly, but it could be clearly seen that his eyes were not focused.

"Don't forget we are here to report to the chief."

Stelter spoke louder, but Micah had not returned to his normal state.

Stant sighed and walked towards Kieran's door, about to knock on the door, but the moment Stant raised his hand, the door opened.

"Chief, morning."

After being stunned for a moment, Stanter immediately greeted.

Not only Stant, but also the freshmen around him immediately greeted Qin Ran respectfully when they saw him.

"Chief, morning."

"Um."

Qin Ran nodded slightly in response.

The freshmen immediately sped up and left.

They knew very well why the two freshmen chief assistants, Stelter and Micah, were here.

They didn't want to stay here and affect the report of these two people. Even the most curious freshman who wanted to take a closer look at Kieran and find out what was different between Kieran and ordinary people did not stay long.

You know, this report is crucial. Once something bad happens, they will be the unlucky ones.

"What's up?"

Qin Ran asked directly.

"It's about the coaching class!"

"The guidance class for third graders originally scheduled for the weekend was changed to this morning, and was attended by representatives of second, third, and fourth grade students."

Stelter answered.

Then, after a pause, he looked at Qin Ran's still calm face before continuing: "According to the information I got, this is a custom for upperclassmen to 'show their strength in a friendly way'."

"Of course, this kind of friendship just doesn't involve death."

"Bruised noses, swollen faces, or broken bones and tendons are common."

"The chief student and his two assistants are usually the ones who receive the most attention."

"Is it necessary to participate?"

Qin Ran asked.

"It's not necessary..."

"Then I won't participate."

Kieran said simply.

"But if you participate and defeat the upperclassmen, you will get the corresponding 'instant' and 'lunchbox' level food..."

"When does it begin?"

Kieran asked more simply.

Are you switching too quickly for food?

Stanter looked at Kieran with his mouth twitching, but he still said clearly in a clear voice: "Ten o'clock in the morning, the playground in Area E."

"I will arrive on time."

After Qin Ran finished speaking, he closed the door.

Looking at the closed door, Stant had a wry smile on his face.

He also has more matters related to the chief student's work that he wants to report.

But he wisely didn't knock on the door again.

Dragging Micah, who was still in a daze, Stant walked towards the cafeteria.

However, when Stant came to the cafeteria, he discovered that Kieran, who should be behind them, actually appeared in front of them.

"You are really punctual."

Stanter quickly chased after him. As he spoke, he glanced at the young man in his early twenties who stood next to Kieran with a cold face.

Is he the secret eater?

Stelter guessed.

"It's not the gentlemanly thing to do to keep your food waiting."

Qin Ran answered.

"I hope you can carry forward this gentlemanly demeanor, at least when facing your job as chief student, you should maintain this demeanor."

Meeting Kieran again, Stant would not give up such an opportunity. He reminded Kieran and hoped that Kieran could fulfill his duties.

But then, Stelter discovered how naive he was.

"Isn't there you?"

Kieran asked with a surprised look on his face, as if Stant said something that went against common sense.

"But we can't replace you!"

Stelter emphasized.

"Of course you can't replace me, but...the work that the chief student did not complete can be handed over to the two chief student assistants."

"You're doing a great job, keep it up."

"I believe you!"

Kieran nodded in agreement, gave Stant an encouraging look, and then quickened his pace, leaving Stant standing there holding Micah.

Stanter looked at Qin Ran's back and raised his hand, wanting to say something.

But in the end, nothing was said.

"Micah, it seems our workload will keep doubling... Huh, Micah?"

When Stant turned around to complain to his friend and discuss work arrangements, he realized that his friend, who had been dragging him in a daze, had walked up the steps of the cafeteria and entered the cafeteria quickly.

Suddenly, Stant was the only one left on the spot.

He stared blankly ahead, and finally let out a sigh.

The kind full of melancholy.

"Three of each of the three ABC packages."

"What do you need Lester?"

Last night's battle was not just about the harvest of props, Kieran also found enough coins on the attackers.

"Meal B, one serving"

The former Dark Eater's eyes scanned the menu and selected the most exquisite looking one.

The food in the cafeteria was served as fast as ever, just like how fast Kieran ate.

The nine portions of breakfast were quickly cleared away, and at this time, the former secret eater had just finished his portion and was about to put the tableware into the sink.

However, just when the former secret eater picked up the tableware, a feeling of being spied on arose from the bottom of his heart.

Without any hesitation, the former secret eater put down his tableware and stood in front of Kieran.

"who?"

"come out!"

The former secret eater shouted.

"Don't get me wrong, 2567 and I are old friends."

Following this voice, Oliver Ryder, dressed in a black suit, walked in, with the red handkerchief on his chest still very conspicuous.

The former Dark Eater did not leave Kieran's side, still looking at Oliver Ryder warily.

He instinctively sensed a danger from the other party.

"It's okay, Lester."

After Kieran said something to the former Dark Eater, he looked at Oliver Ryder, a polite and polite smile appeared on his face.

"I hope you remember our trading time."

Qin Ran reminded the other party.

According to the agreement between the two parties, Qin Ran exchanged one 'lunch box' close to 'dinner' level, two normal level 'lunch boxes', and seven 'quick meals' in exchange for one 'dinner' level food from the other party. Time is the limit, and that time is coming soon.

"of course I remember."

"That's why I'm here."

"However, 2567, you are really surprising. Your deeds have made many people around me marvel."

"I heard that you have been to Professor Smith's laboratory before?"

Oliver Ryder answered, with obvious compliments in his words, and then, very suddenly, the other party changed the subject.

"Um."

Kieran nodded calmly.

"What do you think of that place?"

Oliver Ryder chose his words carefully.

"What's the meaning?"

Qin Ran, who vaguely guessed what the other party wanted to do, asked pretending to be confused.

"I hope to develop a deeper cooperation with you 2567."

"As a reward, I will pay you with a piece of food above the level of a 'dinner'."

"If you agree, we can sign the notarization right away."

Oliver Ryder said with a smile.

"Oh, what kind of cooperation is it worth a piece of food above the level of a 'dinner'?"

Qin Ran was not moved at all.

Although he was very tempted by a food above the level of 'dinner', at the moment he was more wary.

Of course, there was an expression of interest on his face, and seeing this expression, Oliver Ryder obviously misunderstood something, and the other party lowered his voice.

"Do you know what Professor Smith is studying?"
