The Devil’s Cage

Chapter 1545 Gymnasium

"You wouldn't use your fists to treat me so roughly, would you?"

Renata looked at Kieran with a sweet smile.

"Um."

Qin Ran nodded seriously, put away his fist, and kicked out.

Woo!

The whistling feet kicked away the evil spirit-like shadow that ordinary people could not see, and then it was printed on Renata's face again.

boom!

Renata, who had no power to dodge, rolled and flew out again.

However, Qin Ran controlled it very well and did not let the opponent hit the wall. Instead, he spun in the air and landed on his face next to Gemara.

As soon as she landed, Renata got up again.

"Not only can you see my 'ghost of appetite', but your legs are also able to restrain it!"

Regardless of the redness and swelling on her face, after her suspicions were confirmed, an unprecedented panic arose in Renata's heart, making her emotionally excited.

The Ghost of Appetite, a very special ability.

It can even be said to be talent, to a certain extent, almost invincible.

Because not only is it invisible, not afraid of any physical attacks, and immune to most elemental damage, but it is also obedient and absolutely loyal to its controller.

Therefore, Renata, who possesses the 'Ghost of Appetite' and some secret skills, is very proud. She thinks that she should be the strongest among the students.

Even if she is the fifth-year chief 'Tai', she can defeat him as long as she is serious.

However, the appearance of Qin Ran broke this pride.

After her first fight with Kieran, Renata had doubts in her heart.

Not only was he able to see the 'ghost of appetite', he also happened to be able to restrain the 'ghost of appetite', which made the top fourth-year student feel uneasy.

Therefore, when Gemara was about to challenge Kieran again, she chose to go with him.

At this moment, this uneasiness was completely confirmed.

When faced with uneasiness, most people will think about solutions, but if they cannot solve it, they will choose to escape.

The same goes for Renata.

The fourth-year chief, whose ability was restrained and unable to defeat Kieran, had thoughts of staying away.

Kieran caught the other person's emotions naturally.

Although the other person's face was bruised, the twinkle in his eyes was obvious.

And this is something Kieran absolutely doesn't want to see.

Once Renata chooses to escape, it will inevitably affect Gemara, Dale, and Tai, the three 'suppliers' who have been regarded by Kieran as delicacies.

Kieran didn't allow this.

Therefore, he pointed at Gemara, who had stopped twitching but was still unable to get up, and said slowly: "Compared to her, the danger you pose to me is nothing."

The discord between Gemara and the other party is obvious.

Moreover, compared with words such as 'You are really good' and 'You can beat me with just a little effort', which Kieran himself finds to be false and shameful, such a provocative statement is more appropriate in Kieran's opinion.

"Yeah?"

"That's because you never knew how powerful I was..."

boom!

Renata flipped the ends of her hair and prepared to lean towards Kieran.

Putting aside her still red and swollen face, even in her normal state, Renata was worse than a bowl of braised pork in Kieran's opinion.

Therefore, Kieran subconsciously punched Renata in the stomach.

Suddenly, the fourth-grade student bent over like a shrimp, clutched his stomach, and started twitching continuously.

And in the process, the third-year chief recovered from the pain.

"Next time, I will definitely win!"

The female swordsman said sonorously.

At the same time, a 'lunch exchange coupon' was handed to Qin Ran.

Lunchbox redemption coupons are obtained by redeeming credits at the Teorite General Affairs Office. As the name suggests, they can be exchanged for a lunch-level meal.

Then, he helped Renata up, took out another lunch coupon from her pocket, and handed it to Kieran.

"I'm waiting for you."

After receiving the two lunch vouchers, Qin Ran responded to the other party solemnly.

Of course, Kieran did not forget to stimulate Renata.

"to you?"

"I have given up hope."

"Please stay out of my sight from now on... you smart-ass loser dog!"

With that said, Qin Ran opened the door and motioned for the two of them to leave.

The female swordsman had a cold look on her face, not showing any signs of the embarrassment she had just fallen to the ground in convulsions, but Renata was different. The fourth grader, with a red and swollen face and a twitching stomach, glared at Kieran fiercely, almost spitting out fire. Come.

"Don't think you can get carried away just because you beat me twice."

"Next time, I will make you kneel down and beg for mercy!"

The sound came out from between Renata's teeth.

"It was you who just knelt down."

Qin Ran said slowly.

"You...uh!"

The angry Renata wanted to say something, but the pain from her stomach made her twitch again, and she couldn't say a word at all.

Watching the two of them leave, the corner of Qin Ran's lips curled up the moment he closed the door.

He knew that the ‘long-term meal ticket’ was on the line again.

Qin Ran was in a good mood and put together the two newly obtained lunch lunch coupons, the two lunch lunch coupons and one fast food coupon he had obtained in the freshman orientation class.

"Four lunch-level meals, plus one quick meal, are enough to exchange for one 'dinner'-level meal."

"Unfortunately, the General Affairs Office of Speciale does not have regular redemption of 'dinner' level food. It will only appear at the end of the school year."

Kieran touched his chin.

He has not forgotten the description of the main mission. At most, he will stay in this dungeon world until the end of the semester and then leave.

Although the next opportunity to enter has been obtained, no one is sure where that time will be.

Therefore, if you want to exchange for 'dinner' level food, you must find another way.

What was different from when he first entered the dungeon world was that Kieran now had enough connections, allowing him to easily obtain 'dinner' level food.

Picking up the communicator, Kieran dialed Professor Tails directly.

Among all the people Kieran knew, if he wanted to exchange money, this good old professor was undoubtedly the best candidate.

"Use four bento coupons and one fast food coupon to exchange for a 'dinner' level food?"

"no problem."

"when do you needit?"

After Qin Ran explained his intention, Professor Tails agreed immediately.

"The sooner the better."

Qin Ran answered.

"How about the anniversary?"

Professor Tails gave a time.

"Can."

After silently calculating the time of less than two weeks, Qin Ran nodded.

Afterwards, the two parties did not exchange too many greetings. After saying goodbye, Qin Ran hung up the communicator and looked at the rumored information about the 'Crying Gym' and the 'Secret Treasure in the Gym' on the desk.

There is nothing special about either of them.

It's the kind of thing that's similar to campus legends, and it's hard to tell whether it's true or not.

But people who take advantage of both...

Qin Ran narrowed his eyes slightly and his eyes became cold.

Surveillance doesn't matter, because that is what Kieran wants, but this does not mean that Kieran will let the other party plot against him and remain indifferent.

If you dare to have evil intentions, you must bear the consequences.

Death, for those people, is a good outcome.

At night, Theorit, who had been noisy all day, fell into silence.

Stant, who was carrying a backpack, and Micah, who was wearing sportswear and tactical gloves on his hands, quietly slipped out of the apartment.

"here!"

Manlf, who had been waiting for a long time, waved to the two of them.

Unlike Stelter and Micah, Manlf was really fully armed at this time.

Wearing black camouflage and a military backpack, he also had a gun holster on his waist. The gun handle exposed from the back told everyone that this holster was not just a pretense.

"You are really exaggerating!"

Stelter commented on Manlf.

"Be prepared, the chief is still waiting for us, let's go?"

Manlf, who had ulterior motives, smiled and changed the subject.

"Set off!"

Stanter nodded excitedly.

In the evening, when the three of them visited Kieran again, Kieran agreed to go with them, but would only wait for them outside the gym.

Stelter and Micah had no objections to this.

In the eyes of the two of them, Kieran's companionship was the greatest guarantee.

As for being unsociable?

They had long been accustomed to Kieran's unique behavior.

Only Manlf, who had always been smiling, sneered in his heart.

The freshman representative made his own guess about Kieran's behavior.

Arrive at the gym early, no more than two o'clock.

First, check whether the surrounding area is safe.

Second, check whether there is really a secret in it.

The second point is obviously more important than the first point.

"It's a pity... Not only can you not find anything, but you will also walk into the trap step by step!"

The image of Kieran being seriously injured or even died tragically in the ambush by those guys seemed to appear in his heart, and Manlf was looking forward to it even more.

He couldn't wait to take his place.

Therefore, when Manlf saw Kieran standing quietly under the streetlight outside the stadium, his face was shocked.

Or did those people's ambush fail?

impossible!

Those people are very powerful, and even the new chief cannot escape unscathed in the dark.

so……

Didn't you go in?

What good luck!

But you can't always be so lucky.

Quickly, Manlf calmed down his thoughts and smiled again.

"Good evening, Chief."

Following Stant and Micah, Manlf said hello together.

"Um."

Qin Ran nodded slightly.

"According to the information, you must work in pairs to trigger the so-called 'Crying Gym'. So, Micah and I will be in a group, and you, Chief, will be in a group with the weaker Manlf, is that okay?"

Stelter asked.

"good."

Qin Ran answered in the affirmative as he cherished his words like gold.

"no problem."

"I was still a little worried at first, but after working with the chief, I felt completely relieved."

Manlf smiled and nodded repeatedly.

This distribution seems to be a reasonable distribution, but in fact it is the result of him repeatedly hinting that he is weak and needs strong protection.

And everything was as he expected. Stant, who could be called a good person, thoughtfully arranged him and Kieran into a group.

"It really works."

"Then...when I become chief, you will still be the chief assistant."

"And Micah?"

"There's some trouble, so let's clear it up."

Unlike the simple Stant, although Micah is also very simple and direct, the other person always has a beast-like intuition. More than once, Manlf saw suspicion flash in the other person's eyes when he looked at him.

Before such suspicion has conclusive evidence, Manlf must get rid of the other party.

Even if it's to cover up tonight's actions.

Special's gymnasium is different from other schools. Not only is it not locked, it is not a basketball court inside, but...a ring!

One large and six small, a total of seven arenas.

Every year during the school anniversary and finals, this is the busiest place.

Around the arena, there are the same seats as other schools, but the number of seats is much larger. Even if tens of thousands of people show up, it will not seem crowded.

Therefore, it occupies a huge area.

Qin Ran and Manlf were in a group, and Manlf entered the gym first with a flashlight.

Stant and Micah watched the two of them go away. When the light of the flashlight was about to disappear, Micah frowned.

"What's wrong?"

Stelter saw his friend's frown.

"I always think there's something strange about Manlf...but I can't tell where it is."

Micah didn't hide anything from Stelter.

"I guess you are too worried?"

"And don't forget who he is with!"

"It's the chief."

"Not anyone else."

"Come and take a look at the map I prepared. Our adventure is about to begin."

Stanter waved his hand and said with a nonchalant smile.

"Right."

"That's the chief."

Micah smiled and threw his doubts behind his mind.

Step, step.

In the dark gymnasium, footsteps could be heard clearly, echoing in the empty corridors. The light of the flashlight was like a straight lightsaber, dividing the darkness.

"Chief, according to the map, we can go straight to the arena in area A of the stadium. Then, after passing the area A arena, we can reach the location where the rumors happened: the core arena."

"According to rumors, the two people were hanged above the core arena."

"However, those are rumors. No one knows what the truth is."

"Chief, what do you think the truth is?"

"chief?"

"chief?"

Manlf was talking as he walked, but suddenly, Manlf discovered something was wrong.

Qin Ran, who was almost walking side by side, disappeared.

Manlf's breath hitched.

He was sure that Kieran was still by his side the last moment.

He also saw Kieran out of the corner of his eye, and heard Kieran's footsteps.

"chief?"

"Chief, where are you?"

Manlf stopped and looked around with a flashlight. Under the illumination of the flashlight, the cement corridor had a hint of coldness.

No!

No, there was a hint of coldness!

Instead, there really was a hint of cold air appearing behind him!

Just like human breathing!

But, human breath is hot!

But my breathing at this time was cold!

Once upon a time.

The cold breath sprayed on the back of Manlf's neck.

The hairs on my hair stood on end.

Manlf turned around suddenly and shined the flashlight behind him.
