The Devil’s Cage

Chapter 1595 Doubts

Qin Ran stepped forward.

It was as if they didn't see the entire row of corpse storage cabinets in front of them, but... the corpse storage cabinets 'saw' Qin Ran walking towards them, almost lagging behind slightly, and all the corpse storage cabinets shrank back again.

Click!

There was a sound of machine springs, and the entire wall of corpse storage cabinets was pushed open from left to right like two doors opening inward.

A huge secret room appeared in front of Qin Ran.

A chair that resembled an operating table was in the middle of the room. The tiled floor around it was covered in black blood, and broken limbs were hung on hanging chain hooks.

Qin Ran glanced at the broken limbs that had long since decayed.

It was obviously not the lost arms and legs of his wife, but the ones that were lost earlier, and the cutting method was very rough. It was like cutting off with a knife, and half of the arms and thighs were still connected to the torso, just like that. It was torn straight away, so that half of the wound was still smooth, and the remaining half was tears of skin and muscles and jagged fractures of bones.

"Torture?"

Naturally, this word appeared in Qin Ran's mind.

The torn wounds and broken bones told Kieran that if the cutter was serious, he could easily cut off the target's arms and legs.

However, the other party did not do this.

Instead, he chose another more labor-intensive approach.

Apart from intentional torture, Qin Ran could not think of any other possibility.

Following the stump of the broken arm, Kieran looked at the reclining chair that resembled an operating table, with several thick and widened cowhide straps on it.

No doubt all the cutting is done here.

However, Kieran's focus was not on the chair or the leather belt, but on something deeper.

laugh!

Kieran's fingertips traced the surface of the chair.

The artificial leather, which was already dry and decayed, tore in an instant, revealing the dirty sponge inside and a... statue the size of a child's fist.

There is a huge eye, occupying two-thirds of the volume, with a moon-like sculpture carved inside.

No prompting from the system was needed. When he saw the abstract style of the statue, Kieran was sure that it was the work of Modin.

In fact, this is also true.

[Name: Defective Mordin Statue]

[Type: sundries]

[Quality: Legend]

[Attack power: none]

[Defense: Strong]

[Attribute: Touch of the Moon]

[Special effects: none]

[Requirements: None]

[Whether this copy can be taken out: Yes]

[Note: It comes from the master sculptor Modin. Although it has not been recorded, it does not affect the power it contains]

[Touch of the Moon: Can gather negative energy, attract wandering souls, convert it into pure vitality, and transmit it to the holder; 0.5 life/minute (day) 1 life/minute (night) 5 life/minute (bathe in moonlight) Or transform negative energy and wandering souls)]

"Restore life?"

Qin Ran squinted his eyes and played with the statue in his hand.

Almost as soon as he picked up the statue, translucent figures appeared in front of him on the surrounding walls and ground.

Hundreds of translucent figures, densely packed and layered, crowded in this secret room.

The faces of every figure were blank, with no thoughts or memories, only the instinct of the dead to be attracted to the statue of Mordin.

Kieran did not use the [Defective Mordin Statue] to transform these wandering souls.

Not only was he unable to use such means, but also because he was wary of the Mordin statue.

He has not forgotten how he got here.

After putting away the [deficient statue of Mordin], the wandering souls seemed to be waking up from a dream. They looked at Qin Ran right in front of them. They screamed in fear one by one and burrowed back into the wall and ground. In an instant, Just dispersed.

Unlike the instinctive attraction to Mordin's statue.

The fear they felt when facing Kieran helped them know what to do.

After carefully checking around the secret room, but finding nothing, Qin Ran walked out, came to the corner, and gently tapped Macros with his toes.

"It hurts, it hurts."

With a groan of pain, Macross came to life.

As soon as she opened her eyes, the female forensic doctor saw Qin Ran.

Subconsciously, the female forensic doctor clenched her fist, preparing to punch Kieran hard.

She didn't forget how she fainted.

However, immediately, as more memories emerged, Macross' whole body trembled, and her clenched fists turned into palms. She raised her hand to grab Kieran's trouser legs.

However, Qin Ran dodged him again.

"You have a secret room in your morgue."

"A lot of people should have died inside."

"I suggest you contact Grady."

Kieran said simply.

"Secret room? Dead person? Grady?"

"No no no!"

"Can't contact Grady!"

"She will definitely seal off my forensic studio!"

“Without the forensic studio, I won’t be able to pay off the loan!”

“If I can’t pay off my loan, my house will be taken away from me!”

"Without a house, I will live on the streets!"

After the female forensic doctor blankly repeated Kieran's words, she began to shake her head rapidly. She said in a hurry, then she stood up and ran towards the secret room.

"This, this is?!"

The female forensic doctor was stunned when she saw the secret room for the first time.

Because the scene in front of her was the same as what she saw before entering the corpse cabinet.

The only difference is that she is standing now.

And before?

She was trapped on the chair that looked like an operating table, and a guy shrouded in shadow with a knife in his hand was gesturing at her body with the knife.

The female forensic doctor's whole body trembled.

It’s not that female forensic doctors are timid.

Being able to become a forensic doctor is enough to show that Macros is very courageous.

It’s just that the previous situation was too realistic.

It was just like what she had experienced personally.

Kieran stood outside the morgue and looked at Macros in the secret room. He could clearly feel the changes in energy in her body.

Although it was negative energy, it did not swallow up McCross' vitality at all. Instead, it nourished McCross's body.

"Psychic substances?"

Recalling a book he had read in Nikailei's study, Qin Ran's eyes flashed with surprise.

Unlike ordinary psychics and supernatural beings, mediums are rare.

Because the inheritance of psychic mediumship relies entirely on luck. Even if the parents are psychic mediums, the children born to them will not be 100% psychic.

Just like those rumored prophets.

Rare and rare are the specific descriptions of these people.

But when he met a forensic doctor with psychic qualities, Qin Ran thought of more.

The original idea also changed.

"What are you going to do about it?"

Qin Ran asked.

"I……"

Instinctively, she wanted to close this place and act as if nothing had happened. As soon as she spoke her words, she inexplicably recalled the scene where she had just been restrained there.

Reluctance and fear filled her heart.

She couldn't say anything like this at all.

"I will investigate this matter!"

Finally, the female forensic doctor said.

Then, the female forensic doctor looked at Kieran expectantly.

Qin Ran, who appeared in front of her during the crisis, was really her life-saving straw.

What's more, Kieran really saved her life.

"Thank you for saving my life!"

"For a compassionate person like you, you will definitely help me, right?"

After thanking him, the female forensic doctor put her hands in front of her, widened her eyes, and tried her best to look pitiful. If she hadn't been kicked away by Qin Ran several times, she would have taken Qin Ran's arm and swung it from side to side like a baby.

"No."

"wrong."

"On their own."

Qin Ran answered coldly.

"Then why do you appear here so late at night..."

The female forensic doctor questioned Qin Ran, but as soon as the words were spoken, the female forensic doctor reacted.

The body of the other party's wife is here.

Even with his ex-wife, the relationship between the two is far stronger than with her, a stranger who has only met once.

Therefore, of course, the reason why the other party appears here cannot be because of her, it can only be because of his ex-wife.

Thinking of this, the female forensic doctor squatted down dejectedly.

"I knew I shouldn't go all-out and take out a loan to buy a house."

"If I didn't buy a house, I wouldn't be so tired."

"If I weren't so tired, I wouldn't be experiencing these things."

The female forensic doctor squatted there, hugging herself, looking weak, pitiful, and helpless.

Then……

She heard Kieran's footsteps walking away and the sound of the morgue door closing.

Suddenly, the female forensic doctor was the only one left in the morgue.

Just now she didn't feel anything was wrong when Qin Ran was there, but now that Qin Ran had left, the female forensic doctor suddenly felt that something was wrong.

There seemed to be someone watching her from the ceiling.

There also seemed to be someone on the floor watching her.

Someone on the left is looking at her.

There seemed to be someone looking at her on the right.

The female forensic doctor couldn't help but shiver, and the hair on her hair stood up.

The female forensic doctor who was feeling sorry for herself one moment jumped up and ran outside the next moment.

she shouted as she ran.

"Wait for me!"

However, by the time the female forensic doctor chased him out, Kieran was no longer around.

All there are are empty streets.

A cool evening breeze blew through.

The female forensic doctor shivered again.

Even though the lights in the forensic studio were not turned off, he didn't dare to go back and turn them off, so he just ran towards a crowded place.

After Qin Ran watched the female forensic doctor leave in panic, he began to search for any suspicious buildings within a radius of 10 kilometers with the Mike Ross Forensic Medicine Studio as the center.

After finding nothing, Kieran returned to the 'Elm Street' community and searched the entire community in the same way.

Again, nothing unusual.

"The arms have changed, but the torso and head have not changed at all. They can sit up. It's just those wandering souls who are causing trouble."

"Even if the opponent only controls the arm, there should be a trace of breath left within a radius. However, there is no breath left around."

When the arm first appeared, according to the mysterious knowledge that Kieran knew, the head and torso of the corpse would also change. Therefore, Kieran went to the forensic studio to look for more clues.

But the development of things was obviously different from what Qin Ran thought.

"Using a secret technique that I don't know about?"

"Or maybe you discovered something was wrong and immediately erased all traces?"

"Or is there someone else who owns that arm?"

Qin Ran recalled the scenes he had encountered before.

More questions began to arise.

Then, Kieran thought about the [Damaged Mordin Statue] he had just obtained.

"Is that [defective Mordin statue] there to begin with?"

"Or is this also the other party's arrangement?"

"If it's the other party's arrangement, then...what exactly does the other party want to do?"

Kieran never believed in pie-in-the-sky things.

Although the [defective Modin Statue] is nothing to him, it is still a rare good thing to others.

Giving up such a good thing must be because you want to obtain greater benefits.

"Could it be..."

"Is there someone here collecting statues of Mordin as well?"

Qin Ran suddenly thought of something.

More speculations appeared in Kieran's mind along with this hypothesis.

"if it is like this……"

Qin Ran's slightly narrowed eyes flashed with a bright light.

With a jump, Qin Ran quietly returned to the room of this identity.

The sky in the east is already bright at this moment.

I don’t know when the rising sun has appeared.

A new day has begun.

The two police officers who stared at 2-1-6 all night began to yawn.

"coffee."

Grady, who was riding a motorcycle, handed the coffee in his hand to his two men.

"Thanks, boss."

Two police officers took the coffee.

"How about it?"

Grady asked.

"There was nothing unusual. After cleaning the room, I fell asleep. Around dawn, I got up and started washing and doing some activities."

"I just went to the 4-2-2 Love Food House and picked up a lot of food."

"What a great appetite."

"It doesn't look like someone whose wife just died."

A police officer reported.

"It's my ex-wife."

"The relationship breaks down and you get divorced, and then, deep down in your heart, you probably want the other person to die, right?"

"Now that people are dead, isn't it just what I want?"

"Boss, have you discovered anything?"

Another police officer corrected, and then looked at Grady.

"I investigated the information of the two people and found..."

Just when Grady was about to say something, the female police chief suddenly looked not far away.

A man with a tired face was walking over slowly.

"Is this the residence of Doctor 2567?"

The other party asked Grady politely, but the red bloodshot eyes all over the other party made such politeness very weird.

"Yes, right there."

Grady pointed to the gate of 2-1-6.

"Thanks."

After the other party thanked him politely, he walked quickly towards the door of 2-1-6, and rang the doorbell directly.

"Doctor 2567?"

"I am the patient who made your appointment."

"I'm sorry I came early, please help me."

While praying, the little nurse came out and motioned for the other party to come in.

Looking at the other person's retreating back, Grady frowned slightly.

"What's wrong, boss?"

a subordinate asked.

"Don't you think that person looks familiar?"

Grady asked.

"look familiar?"

Another subordinate was stunned, and the subordinate who spoke before seemed to have remembered something.

"He seems to be..."
