The Devil’s Cage

Chapter 1541 Chief Students

Boulder left the room without leaving, let alone looking for Kieran directly.

Instead, he went around to the backyard of the house and started... digging a hole.

Looking at the stick bones, sausages and roasted chickens pulled out of the pit, Ronmusi, who had been watching here, couldn't help but chuckle.

"It was only then that I was able to clearly understand that he was a dog, not a cunning person."

Romuth said.

"yes."

“Boulder is so smart.”

"If it weren't for the fact that it couldn't speak and the appearance was so different, I would have thought it was human."

Professor Tails on the side looked at the dug-out food with a wry smile on his face.

Dogs are mankind's most loyal partners.

A good hunting dog can become a hunter's most reliable assistant.

And an excellent guard dog is the safety guard of the entire family.

None of this has anything to do with Boulder, though.

In everyone's impression, this huge dog was the kind that was lazy and had nothing to do. Tails also thought so at first.

until……

After his kitchen was emptied out a few days ago.

In fact, most of the food being dug out at the moment came from his kitchen, and they were all ingredients he had added to the refrigerator just the day before yesterday.

There are obviously two locks and a password lock. How is it opened?

Tails fell into thought.

"Just some food...bastard, my pudding!"

Romuth comforted Tails, but the next moment, when he saw Boulder digging out a pudding with a box, his whole expression changed.

"Dean, calm down."

Tails comforted Ronmus with a wry smile, watching the beloved dean of Area E once again clutching his chest and gasping for breath.

"I know! I need to calm down!"

"How about we have dog meat for lunch?"

Ronmusi asked calmly.

"Not so good."

Tails' wry smile revealed more helplessness.

Because, a large group of stray dogs appeared in the yard.

The gaps between the wooden fence walls cannot stop these dogs from crossing.

They gathered around Boulder one by one, raising their heads and sticking out their tongues.

Boulder, like the leader of the dog group, began to distribute food, and soon, every dog ​​had a portion of food in front of him that was enough to fill his stomach.

Then, Boulder let out a whimper, and the dogs began to eat happily.

They ate very quickly, and when they finished eating, the dogs wagged their tails at Boulder, rubbed them affectionately, and then left one after another.

After all the dogs left, Boulder stood up and walked out of the 1.5-meter-high wooden fence in one step.

Ronmusi and Tails were refreshed.

"I knew that old scoundrel Smith was going to do this."

"Let Boulder notify 2567 and win this bet."

"Huh, I expected that!"

The gray-haired Romsi hummed proudly.

Deep down in his heart, he had already thought about how to laugh at Smith, but he immediately discovered that Tails was not in the right mood.

"What's wrong, Tails?"

Romuth asked.

"The direction Boulder is headed should be... my home!"

There was only helplessness on Tails' face.

"Didn't it just go there the day before yesterday?"

Ronmusi looked confused.

"I just replenished my food yesterday!"

"But this time it's different!"

"I've reinforced my defenses!"

Tails answered with a smile full of confidence on his face. He had strengthened the twelve-layer code lock on the original basis.

Even if some famous thieves come, they may not be able to open it.

Not to mention Boulder.

However, this smile only lasted for more than ten seconds.

When Tails saw him sneaking into his kitchen, erecting his dog's paws in front of the refrigerator, stretching out the tip of his claws, and opening all the locks with ease like a key, his face became stiff. .

What about the twelve-fold password you agreed on?

What about being able to defend against famous thieves?

He obviously needs to remember the password before opening the lock, but why does it open as soon as Boulder pokes it?

Is it smarter than me?

impossible!

Although it is very smart, it is definitely not as smart as me!

Professor Tails quickly got rid of his self-denial. Then, he and Ronmus watched Boulder, who had emptied his refrigerator, return to his previous residence and bury all the food in the previous pit. After the hole, he jumped back to the room.

call!

Looking at Boulder disappearing into the courtyard, Ronmusi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Maybe I think too much!"

"Smith no longer thinks about that completely impossible thing. He must be a little unwilling and wants to see that thing."

"after all……"

Ronmusi, who wanted to say something, finally shook his head and said nothing.

Tails did not ask further questions.

Because he knew what Professor Smith wanted to do.

but……

That is impossible!

It is impossible to resurrect a dead person!

Even the titular chef who wields magical powers cannot do this.

But where does the underlying uneasiness in my heart come from?

Tails frowned slightly, but before he could think of anything, his thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the communicator.

"Well, okay, I understand!"

Tails picked up the communicator, and after listening to the report from his subordinates, he immediately turned to Ronmus and said, "Dean, those guys took the bait!"

"Yeah?"

"I've been waiting for them for a long time!"

"These borers!"

After Ronmusi sneered, he turned around and headed towards the planned location, Tails followed closely.

In the room, Smith, who was leaning on the sofa, raised his left eyelid and glanced out the window.

Under his feet, Boulder crawled there obediently. Only the ears that twitched from time to time could prove that it was still vigilant.

After Smith raised his hand and touched Boulder's head, he opened the wine bottle as if to celebrate and drank heavily.

Qin Ran followed the attacker drivers who left many traces behind because of their hasty escape.

This process is very easy.

In fact, Kieran didn't even need [tracking] vision, he just needed to hide his figure.

However, just as Kieran turned the corner, he suddenly saw a dog that seemed to be looking for something nearby. As soon as he approached, the dog sniffed its nose fiercely.

"This is?"

Kieran subconsciously thought that this was the attacker's compensation measure, but then he realized that he was wrong.

The dog didn't bark, but crawled there, wagging its tail at him.

"Looking for me?"

Qin Ran was stunned. He glanced at the attacker's figure that had almost disappeared in the distance. After confirming that the opponent's field of vision could not see here, he walked over quickly.

Then, the dog opened its mouth and spat out a pile of shredded paper.

These scraps of paper all come from food packaging. They are torn into pieces, but when folded up and down, they are arranged in order.

Qin Ran ignored the dog's saliva and lined up the scraps of paper——

Do you want to make a deal with me? Challenge the top students in grades 2, 3, 4 and 5 and defeat them!

If you can do it, I will give you an ingredient equivalent to a meal, and pay in advance!

Smith

There is certainly no punctuation on these shreds of paper.

Kieran added it based on his tone.

"Challenge the chief student in the second, third, fourth and fifth years?"

Kieran narrowed his eyes.

He didn't mind any challenge, especially one that came with a reward, but he was curious about Smith's purpose.

From the time Smith's laboratory was attacked, to the time there were attackers in the freshman orientation class, Kieran felt that someone was setting it up.

And now?

Not only was he sure that someone planned all of this, but he was also sure that Smith should be the one who planned it!

Even Oliver Ryder's sudden request was part of the other party's plan.

However, the sudden death of Oliver Ryder caused the other party to make some mistakes, so he used the method in front of him to make up for his planning mistakes.

As for why the other party did this?

Qin Ran didn't know clearly.

But this did not prevent him from agreeing to the deal in front of him.

He not only hopes to get the ingredients that are equivalent to dinner level, but also wants to know what the other party is going to do, so agreeing is a must.

"I agreed."

Qin Ran said this.

The dog in front of him was extremely humane. After hearing Qin Ran's words, he immediately ran to the alley on one side. After a while, another small dog with a cow-colored body and black eye circles appeared. , holding a... pudding box in its mouth.

The pudding was half eaten, and a corner of the foil inside was exposed.

Kieran pulled out the metal foil package. It was only the size of a one-yuan coin and was very light, but its value was beyond Kieran's expectation.

[Name: Incomplete Fusion Seed]

[Category: Food]

[Quality: III]

[Attack: None]

[Defense: None]

[Attribute: Power of fusion]

[Special effects: none]

[Whether this copy can be taken out: Yes]

[Note: In a secret place, Smith found some incomplete seeds. He found that these seeds contained magical fusion power. Initially, he hoped to perfectly integrate plants and meat, but...an accident, he found Additional uses for these seeds. 】

[Power of fusion: There is a certain chance to fuse the power in your body]

(Note: This kind of fusion is irreversible. Once it fails, the power in your body will either melt away or go berserk)

Looking at this [Incomplete Fusion Seed], Qin Ran's eyes flickered.

"Fusing the power within the body?"

Excitement appeared on Kieran's face unconsciously.

Because no one knows better than him what kind of power will explode once the several sources of power in his body are combined.

Similarly, the marked words also made Kieran calm enough.

Corresponding to the powerful power, he also knew very well what he would face once the power in his body was out of control.

Taking a deep breath, Kieran put away the [Incomplete Fusion Seed] and placed the remaining pudding in front of Gouzi.

Looking at the two dogs constantly licking food, a question suddenly appeared in Qin Ran's mind.

"Is this transaction a coincidence?"

"Or was it arranged deliberately by Smith?"

If it's the former, I'll talk about it later.

But if it was the latter, Qin Ran suddenly realized that he had to re-evaluate this professor, who in his opinion was already extraordinary.

But that was later.

And now?

It's time for him to fulfill his promise.

Keeping your word has always been Kieran's style.

In the temporary meeting room.

The chiefs of the second, third, fourth and fifth grades gathered together.

They sat around a round table.

"Renata, why do we have to send representatives from the second, third, and fourth grade students to participate in this freshman orientation class for senior students?"

A boy who was only 1.4 meters tall, had a childish face, and was wearing a gray hoodie asked doubtfully.

"Of course it's because I'm worried that the third-year representative won't be able to handle the freshman chief!"

Big red waves started to fly as the slender white palms of Renata, the fourth-year chief, were dancing. Renata, who was already wearing a leather jacket and exuding mature charm, was even more stunning at this time. The short Dalle's face suddenly turned red.

But it also caused dissatisfaction in Gemara.

"snort!"

Wearing a swordsman's robe, Gemara, who put her sword on her knees and sat cross-legged in a chair, snorted coldly.

The opponent with long black hair hanging down his shoulders was wearing a cold white swordsman uniform. In this cold snort, a kind of chill was exuding all over his body, especially the opponent's eyes, which were as cold as metal sword blades, even though he had a beautiful face. , but it only gives people the feeling of a sword being unsheathed.

"Is not it?"

Turning her head, Renata looked at Gemara and asked with a smile, just like a female fox with her eyes narrowed.

Click!

The sound of a sword being unsheathed.

A flash of cold light flashed.

Gemara seemed not to move at all, but a strand of hair fell from the left end of Renata's hair.

"Next time, it won't be the hair."

Gemara's voice was as cold as the cold wind in the winter. The short second-year chief student Dalle couldn't help but shrink his neck, but Renata didn't care and lifted a strand of hair that was chopped off.

"So you like this?"

"What a wild way!"

"But, I like it very much!"

As Renata spoke, she raised her right hand, put her index finger to her mouth, and bit it gently.

Click!

There was another sound of the sword being unsheathed, as if something was cut off in the void, Gemara looked at Renata coldly.

"Want to start a war?"

"The vixen in heat!"

"Of course, how about you come to my room?"

“The bed there is so soft and big.”

Tensions were rising, no, an atmosphere that was already tense began to permeate the room.

Daler looked left and right, and finally looked for help at the silent fifth-year chief 'Tai'.

"Don't look at me, I can't control them... Ahem, it's been a year, haven't you gotten used to them?"

"Don't worry, it will take you longer to get used to it."

Sitting there with a weakened figure and a sick look on his face, 'Tai' comforted Daler.

The latter's face fell.

Obviously, such comfort has no effect at all.

However, Dalle was very self-aware and did not try to dissuade the two who were about to start fighting again.

‘Tai’ didn’t stop it.

He couldn't stop it.

It looked like the building was going to be destroyed.

When he thought about having to face the nagging and compensation from the annoying guys in the student union afterwards, Dalle couldn't help but sigh.

And at this moment——

Boom, boom, boom.

There was a rhythmic knock on the door.
