Chapter 1543 Similarity

In the room, Smith's fingertips rubbed the lines of the wine bottle.

That is not the flask itself, but a cowhide cover made to prevent friction and collision damage to the flask itself.

This cowhide cover is so exquisitely made that at first glance, people will think it is a cowhide wine flask.

There is also a buckle on the top near the inside, which can be easily pinned to the waist.

Of course, for Smith, holding it in his hand is the most convenient option.

Gudong, Gudong.

Smith took a few sips of wine and mumbled to himself.

"Accidental spoiler?"

"It's such a headache."

Boulder, who was crawling there, immediately stretched his head over and rubbed Smith comfortingly.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

"Besides, the worst has not yet come."

"Such an accident is within my tolerance."

After waving his hand at Boulder, a smile appeared on Smith's face, and then he looked outside the door.

Step, step.

The clear sound of footsteps reached his ears.

Two people.

One is Romuth's most loyal and capable subordinate Tails.

The other is the person he is waiting for: 2567!

"Professor Smith..."

"Come in."

"And you have nothing to do with me here."

Facing the knock on the door, Smith answered in the affirmative, and waved at Tails more directly.

Professor Tails looked at Smith and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Although both parties are professors, there is a considerable gap between him as a professor and Professor Smith.

Whether it is strength or merit.

Especially the latter, he was beyond reach.

Therefore, Professor Smith winked at Qin Ran beside him, turned around and exited the room.

No stopping at the door.

In Kieran's ears, Professor Smith's footsteps were walking directly towards the outside of the house, and they did not stop until they were about to leave the outskirts of the house.

A distance where you can't hear the conversations in the room, but can appear in time if something unexpected happens.

"Smarty guy."

Smith curled his lips and pointed to the sofa in front of Kieran.

"But at least he's not a bad person."

Kieran sat on the sofa and replied.

"You mean, after you found the other party, the other party directly told you where I was?"

Smith did not refute this, but the dissatisfaction in his words was obvious.

"There's a lot of movement this time."

Qin Ran didn't answer the question.

"So, you appeared in front of me?"

Smith grinned.

"Um."

"Because I don't understand why you 'notified' me in advance of such a big event, and even gave me considerable benefits."

Kieran nodded.

"People who are cautious and suspicious will live a very tiring life."

Smith said seemingly as a reminder.

"At least, it's better than sudden death!"

Qin Ran was not moved at all.

"Death is not terrible sometimes."

"The scary thing is the attitude of a guy like you when facing death."

"After experiencing despair, struggle, and madness, the qualifications you possess are enough to make everyone look at you - I made a bet with Ron Musi that you are the key point, so I will give you the [Incomplete Seed of Fusion] 】As a reward."

"Because, I know very well that people like you will definitely cause big trouble for me once they find out about it afterwards."

Smith shrugged and opened the wine bottle again.

"You seem to know me well?"

Qin Ran asked.

"It's not about understanding you, it's about understanding myself!"

Smith took a sip of wine and shook the bottle, and there was a pleasant sound of wine hitting the bottle wall.

Judging from the sound, it is probably still about half a pot.

And that seems to be a ‘stopping line’ for Smith.

After he carefully put the wine bottle back into his arms, he continued: "Maybe you don't believe it, but you and I are exactly the same when we were young!"

"Whether it's appearance, personality, or even behavior patterns."

"Although it looks different now, if you take a closer look at my eyes, eyebrows, and nose, are they similar to yours?"

As if to convince Kieran, Smith gestured to himself repeatedly.

"Um"

"I will try not to be bald, blind, or lame."

Qin Ran answered very seriously.

"I'm just bald, not bald."

Smith emphasized.

"Is there a difference?"

Qin Ran asked rhetorically.

"Of course."

"This is of my own free will and not caused by force majeure. It's like you were stolen by Maye from the reward food for the freshman dinner, and then led to Rude, Delton, and even Pel Reno of Hilliliu. .”

Smith said meaningfully.

"So, you are also interested in "Guan Shilu"?"

Qin Ran looked at the other party intently and asked slowly.

""Guan Shi Lu"?"

"A little bit, but I'm more interested in Hilly Flow."

"As far as I know before, there is no such thing as the Hill School."

"But, it showed up."

"Moreover, it shows the consistent tenet of the Hill style: speed and props, but it is more consistent, even to the extent of combining the sharpness with the palm of one's own hands."

"Therefore, I have to suspect that Xililiu really exists, but I didn't know it before."

"Things in this world are so fucked up. Every time you think you have everything under control, something unexpected will pop up and make you uneasy."

At the end of the sentence, Smith muttered dissatisfiedly.

"You want to get more information about Shirli Liu from me?"

"Or maybe it's the whereabouts of Rude and Perreno?"

Qin Ran asked.

"It will be all right."

"Whether it's the information from Shililiu or the whereabouts of Rudd and Perreno, it's all fine."

"I will give you a satisfactory reward."

Smith nodded.

Kieran stared at the other person and saw sincerity in the other person's expression.

There is no hint of malice in the perception.

To put it simply, if he reaches a deal with the other party, he will immediately gain a lot of money.

But Qin Ran still shook his head.

"it is a pity."

"I don't know either."

"It was because of a series of coincidences that I discovered a clue about Rudd and Perreno. After several transactions with Garcia, as long as they were not idiots, they would have discovered where the problem was."

"In fact, the hidden line I found was broken after Garcia took action against Perreno."

Qin Ran said seriously.

Everything seems to be true.

At least, in Smith's eyes, that's true.

Because this is common sense.

If the dark faction and Riliu who had been hiding for many years were caught so easily, they would have disappeared into history long ago.

"It's troublesome."

"It's as true for you as it is for me."

Smith sighed.

Qin Ran looked at the other party in confusion.

"You don't think the Oliver Ryder matter is over just like that, do you?"

Smith leaned against the sofa and stared at Kieran.

Qin Ran, who was already prepared, pretended to frown.

"Those families are always in trouble."

Qin Ran said this.

There was disgust in his tone, and he also showed a trace of helplessness vividly.

Although he is not an aborigine, Kieran has gained a lot of information through a lot of reading. Coupled with Oliver Ryder's behavior style, it is enough for Kieran to understand what attitude he should use to describe this matter, so as to clear himself suspicion.

"It's more troublesome than you think."

"If anything happens, you can go find Tails."

"Didn't you say that others are not bad?"

"He'll help you."

As Smith spoke, he curled up his legs on the sofa and closed his one eye.

Obviously, the other party doesn't want to talk anymore.

Qin Ran had no intention of staying.

Click!

With the crisp sound of the door locking, Kieran disappeared behind the door, while Smith opened his one eye and looked at Boulder who had been crawling to one side.

"Remember his scent?"

"Follow this smell and look for it."

"Maybe we will make an unexpected discovery."

Smith ordered.

Boulder nodded and disappeared into the room again.

After Boulder disappeared, Smith lay back on the sofa again.

"How can I prove that what you said is true without careful verification?"

Smith muttered in a vague voice.

…

"Professor Smith made a bet with Dean Roemuth?"

"What's the stakes?"

Kieran and Professor Tails were walking side by side on the path back to the student apartment. Without hiding his curiosity, Kieran asked directly.

"I can't tell you the stakes."

"Because it concerns the privacy of Dean Ronmus and Professor Smith, I can only tell you if they agree."

Professor Tails looked at Kieran apologetically.

Then, as if to make up for Kieran, the professor continued: "The Ryder family has sent people to Theoret. They will arrive in the next few days. You have to be careful."

"Professor Smith reminded me."

Kieran replied.

"This is not just a reminder, but a warning from me as a professor. After all, Oliver Ryder was once the first heir to the Ryder family."

"He has the interests of a large group of people at stake."

"Although many people also wish he would disappear forever."

"But more people want him to inherit the Ryder family."

"Save my number in the communicator. If anything happens, I will come forward, and if I can't solve it, there will be Dean Romsi."

"You have to remember that you are a student of Theorite and the chief freshman. Behind you is the entire Theorite."

Professor Tails said with a serious expression.

"Um."

Qin Ran nodded slightly and did not make any more remarks.

He has always believed that it is better to rely on yourself than to rely on anyone else.

At this time, nature will not change.

Seeing Qinran's appearance, Professor Tails sighed helplessly.

The chief students of every class are so unruly.

Only when you really suffer a loss will you realize how ridiculous your mistakes and naivety were.

But only a few people can have such an opportunity.

Most people can only be mourned under their tombstones.

"I hope you don't become the latter."

Professor Tails said silently in his heart.

He didn't say anything more, because he knew that Kieran wouldn't listen at this time, so he could only send more guards.

Qin Ran looked at the change in professor Tails' expression and easily guessed what he was thinking.

But he didn't remind him or ask him to change anything.

Even, in some ways, he needs the other party to do this.

At least, this will make Professor Smith act with some scruples.

That's right!

At this time, Kieran was not worried about the so-called Ryder family, but was worried about Professor Smith.

After the conversation just now, Qin Ran became more and more convinced that the other party was hiding something.

What's more important is that the other party's seemingly normal words are always full of temptation.

It was obvious that the other party did not trust him at all.

Don't believe what he said.

You have to verify it yourself before you believe what you see.

Coincidentally, he is also such a person.

So, he knew what he should do next.

At the door of the student apartment, Qin Ran said goodbye to Professor Tails, and walked upstairs after being greeted by Lester.

Professor Tails looked at the former Dark Eater and opened his mouth to say something, but in the end it turned into another shake of the head and sigh.

But in his mind, the professor sent three more guards to the 'protection' plan he had just formulated.

As soon as he returned to the room, the former secret eater consciously sat on the floor with his back against the wall of the door, with several independent LCD screens appearing in his hands. .

For former secret eaters, the living environment is not very demanding. In fact, most of the time, they need to avoid pursuit and conceal their identities, so there is no so-called living environment at all.

Being able to appear in the room openly like this, enjoying the sunshine, breeze and normal food.

Everything is so beautiful.

Therefore, the former Dark Eater cherishes everything in front of him.

And, protect all of this carefully.

He installed surveillance cameras in the corridors, rooftops, entrances, and every blind corner of the entire apartment building.

He strives that anyone who enters here will enter his sight.

Kieran did not disturb the former Dark Eater's work. After discovering that he had mechanical and electronic talents, Kieran was happy for him to provide him with more help.

Just like the frost wolf that came over and kept sniffing on his backpack.

While sniffing, the Frostwolf wagged its tail vigorously.

There is no doubt that [Red Ghost's stomach bag] has the function of isolating odors. Even the nose of a frost wolf cannot smell the things contained in it.

[War Fanatic's Box] is similar.

The reason why Frost Wolf did this was just to understand his master.

It could tell based on Kieran's breath that its master must have gained a lot.

"Smart guy."

Qin Ran touched the frost wolf's head, but did not take out the [Daigo Liquid] that had been prepared for it and the fire crow.

First, it is not safe here.

Second, smell.

If Frost Wolf and Fire Crow drank [Daigo Liquid], it would be difficult for them to control the remaining smell of [Daigo Liquid]. Once tracked, his entire plan would fall short.

Woo, woo, woo.

The Frostwolf let out a fawning whimper.

"quickly."

"Believe me."

Kieran said, picking up the unfinished book beside him.

After seeing Qin Ran's actions, Frost Wolf immediately stopped whimpering, curled up and nestled at Qin Ran's feet, listening to the surroundings with his ears raised.

On the windowsill further away, Fire Crow's eyes scanned the surroundings.

Suddenly, this made it extremely difficult for the newly arrived monitor.
