The Devil’s Cage

Chapter 1638 Don’t Trust Strangers?

The sun has risen high.

The hustle and bustle from the street and the sunlight were blocked by thick curtains - this curtain was chosen by Qin Ran. It was divided into two layers: gauze curtain and blackout curtain. Together with the fairly good sound insulation of the window, Mimosa could sleep during the day. , and will not be woken up.

Looking at Mimosa curled up in a ball on the bed, Kieran raised his hands to tuck the quilt in and sat down on the floor.

For Qin Ran, who was extremely weak but still at the pinnacle of an ordinary person, the cold in autumn was not really cold.

Moreover, Qin Ran believed that even the coldness of a normal winter would soon be nothing to him.

Because he will not waste time and years.

Qin Ran, who was sitting on the floor, took out a [Copper Crossing Coin].

This time he did not control the five active sources of power in his body. When his fingers came into contact with the [Copper Crossing Coin], the power of original sin contained in the five sources of power absorbed the power from it like a whale sucking water.

Or to be more precise, ‘gluttony’.

Like Kieran, the 'Gluttony' at this moment was also extremely weak, and could not even appear in the material world, leaving only a trace of instinct: eating.

But this was enough for Kieran.

Qin Ran raised the corners of his mouth as he watched the [Copper Crossing Coin] in his palm quickly fade and decay, turning into a rusty copper coin.

Even better than he imagined.

With the help of 'Gluttony', the five major sources of power have grown again.

At the same time, he also confirmed that his previous perception was correct.

These [Copper Crossing Coins] contain the energy when the ‘soul departs’!

Qin Ran didn't know how these 'transfer money' were made, but he knew very well how important these 'transfer money' were to him now.

Without any hesitation, Qin Ran grabbed the remaining nineteen [Copper Crossing Coins].

Suddenly, the five sources of power in the body grew like blowing air.

Kieran knew very well that this was just a process for him to get rid of weakness. Being strong was a kind of 'illusion'. However, when he discovered that he was becoming stronger, he still felt happy and excited in his heart.

Especially when the system prompt appears again.

[The mental attribute breaks through a layer of seal, D+→C-]

Another layer of spiritual attribute seal was broken!

Feeling his mind becoming clearer, Qin Ran's lips curled up.

As for the remaining attributes?

Judging from the prompts that appear when entering the dungeon, the mental attributes that have reached level V are special, so it is not surprising to be the first to break through the seal.

When the spiritual attribute breaks through the seal to a certain extent, it is time for other attributes.

Sitting there, Qin Ran did not get up.

He felt the 'weak' body at this moment with an increasingly powerful spirit. The muscles on his body trembled slightly, but did not make any sound.

This strange trembling lasted for nearly ten minutes before stopping.

The moment he stopped, Qin Ran ensured that he had control over his body.

Kieran didn't mind having powerful power, but if he couldn't control this powerful power, Qin Ran would rather not have it.

He is such a character.

Be careful.

Although there are many bold attempts, we are also fully prepared.

Brainless, quite temporary.

Have brains and enjoy life.

He stood up gently and carefully sat on the chair beside the bed. After holding the [sharp standard sword] in his arms, Qin Ran narrowed his eyes and fell asleep.

Although he could stay awake, Kieran could do it, but he knew that the highlight was at night, so he would not waste extra energy during the day.

A good rest is the way to go.

The sun rises higher and higher.

When the sun began to set slightly to the west, Mimosa woke up from her sleep.

No nightmares.

Not even scared.

It's the kind of deep, deep sleep that won't wake up until your body sends a signal that you've had enough sleep.

Even with Afu around, Mimosa couldn't do it to this extent.

Sensing the familiar scent next to him, Mimosa looked at Qin Ran who was sleeping beside him. The moment Mimosa looked at him, Qin Ran opened his eyes.

"woke up?"

Kieran asked with a smile.

"Um."

"I'll wash up first and then go prepare lunch."

Mimosa naturally got out of the quilt out of habit and walked towards the bathroom as she spoke.

You don't need to leave the room to use the bathroom.

The reason why Kieran chose this room as his bedroom, apart from being spacious enough, was because this room had a bathroom, so he didn't need to bother going to the one in the corridor.

Wow, wow.

The sound of water reached my ears.

Qin Ran started to think about the items he needed to buy today.

In the past, funds have been in short supply to purchase enough 'self-defense items'. However, with the emergence of [Sharp Standard Sword] and [Gordo's Chain], such a shortage of funds will not be possible in a short time. Appeared.

And more funds are enough for Kieran to do more things.

Money is not everything at any time.

No money?

That is absolutely impossible.

Unless, you have reached the point where you are ignoring the rules.

But Qin Ran, who is self-aware, knows very well that even if he regains all his strength, he is still far away from that step.

Let alone now.

The right way is to follow the rules honestly and develop yourself silently.

The mimosa in the bathroom is also thinking about what to buy today.

But unlike Kieran, Mimosa was thinking about the ingredients she needed to buy.

The fog made the mirror in the bathroom blurry.

The shadow reflected in it also became blurry.

His face became softer and softer.

But it seems to be an illusion.

When Mimosa raised her hand to wipe away the moisture, her delicate face was revealed again in the mirror.

Mimosa stood in front of the mirror and took care of her appearance meticulously.

After ten minutes, after confirming that everything was correct, Mimosa opened the door and walked out of the bathroom.

However, he did not go downstairs.

Instead, he watched Qin Ran walk into the bathroom.

The bathroom door was not closed.

Therefore, Mimosa could clearly see how Kieran brushed his teeth and washed his face in two minutes.

Mimosa was not used to it at first.

However, I am slowly getting used to it now.

At the same time, in order to cooperate with Kieran, Mimosa also unconsciously speeded up washing - although compared with Kieran, it was still very slow.

However, Kieran never said anything.

Everyone has their own living habits.

He doesn't like to be forced by others.

Naturally, I don’t like forcing others.

Mutual respect is the prerequisite for friendly relations.

Even if Mimosa has some quirks, what are they compared to Mimosa's courage?

A small witch sees a big witch and is not worth mentioning.

Any weirdness is covered up under the "cowardice".

“For lunch, we’ll have beef brisket with potatoes and salt and pepper shrimp.”

Mimosa said before entering the kitchen.

"Um."

Kieran nodded without any objection.

Leave professional matters to professionals.

A layman guiding an expert will never succeed.

However, Kieran was not idle either. He began to clean the entire restaurant on the first floor, opening the doors and windows for ventilation.

This doesn’t count as preparation for opening in the evening.

Simply, Kieran couldn't stand the stench of the lingering hangover.

Especially when he thought that lunch would be in such a stench, Kieran felt quite uncomfortable.

Fortunately, when Mimosa brought out lunch, the stench had disappeared due to Kieran's efforts.

The restaurant is filled with the smell of beef.

The moment the thick and delicious beef with the salty soup entered his mouth, Qin Ran narrowed his eyes. When the rice was also put into his mouth, Qin Ran couldn't help but start chewing.

Eat and feel comfortable.

After eating a plate of beef brisket with potatoes and two bowls of rice, Kieran looked at the salt and pepper shrimp.

In order to make it easier for Kieran to eat, the shrimp heads and tails of the mimosa have been removed and can be eaten directly.

The preserved shrimp shells reveal a touch of tender red, which is in sharp contrast with the golden color outside the shrimp shells, and some green chive segments are garnished on top, which is the icing on the cake.

Crunch!

Kieran picked up a shrimp and put it into his mouth. With a crisp sound, the shrimp meat was completely released, and it even felt like it bounced out of the teeth.

Without hesitation, Kieran picked up the second and third ones.

When Kieran felt full, all the shrimps on the plate had already been wiped away.

"delicious."

Kieran commented.

Mimosa immediately smiled and narrowed her eyes.

For a chef, is there anything happier than a diner eating all the food?

That is to become Kieran’s chef!

Mimosa sat on the stool where Kieran usually sat, watching Kieran carry the dishes and chopsticks into the kitchen to wash up, then put his favorite dishes and chopsticks into the disinfection cabinet, then stood up and took off his apron.

The next time is the time that Mimosa is most looking forward to.

Purchasing various ingredients was something that made Mimosa happy, let alone going with Kieran.

For the first time, Mimosa was grateful for this strange and different copy world.

And, I hope to stay here longer.

Of course, Mimosa wouldn't mind if Kieran found a way to leave early and insisted on leaving.

Just listen to Qin Ran in everything.

This is a long-standing agreement.

Night falls and the street lights turn on.

The small blackboard of 'Ye's Restaurant' was placed outside the door on time at eleven o'clock in the evening.

Leaf's Restaurant.

Today’s food: salt and pepper shrimp (available a la carte or set meal), fried rice, chicken soup.

(No alcohol is served and drunk guests are not welcome)

Under the newly installed street lights, the handwriting is still beautiful.

Likewise, no one saw it.

But Mimosa is still busy in the kitchen.

After all, the guests who arrived were just drop-in, Kieran's dinner and the next day's breakfast and lunch were the focus, and some ingredients had to be processed in advance.

Qin Ran was sitting in a chair, reading today's newspaper and watching the TV placed on the side of the bar.

This is the small TV I purchased this afternoon.

Colorful, less than 14 inches, built-in antenna.

The picture seemed a little blurry to Kieran, but it was enough for Kieran who wanted to understand the world faster.

It's the evening news now -

"At 11 o'clock this morning, the 'Lemon Gold Shop' was suddenly robbed an hour after it opened."

"The security guard of Jinpu was shot and has been sent to the hospital. He is not out of danger for the time being..."

Under the voiceover introduction of the female host, what appeared on the TV was a surveillance video from the gold shop. Three men wearing hoods, two of whom were holding automatic firearms, pointed at a group of crouching people, while one man jumped from the counter of the gold shop. , taking out the gold jewelry in trays and pouring them into the backpack.

Then, the three of them retreated calmly.

The whole process is quick.

According to the shooting time captured on the surveillance camera, this process only lasted 45 seconds.

If you include the time they spent breaking into the gold shop and shooting, it would not have exceeded 1 minute.

Undoubtedly, the three of them practiced this more than once.

Moreover, they have a tacit understanding of the layout of the gold shop.

However, there are also many similar flaws.

If I were the police, I would quickly search for surveillance and possible moles.

And if I were a robber, at this time, I would probably...

Almost instinctively, Kieran took the place of both sides.

This is one of Kieran's habits.

It can not only exercise his thinking, but also allow him to gain experience from it.

Squeak, squeak!

When the sound of electricity sounded, the street light that had just been turned on at the door began to flicker again.

A figure walked in with a confused expression.

A middle-aged man with a hint of gray hair, wearing trousers, a jacket, and brown leather shoes, the corners of which are frayed.

At this time, the other party turned around and looked around.

As if curious about why he appeared here.

Naturally, the middle-aged man looked at Kieran who was sitting at the bar.

"Hello, may I ask where this is?"

The middle-aged man opened his mouth and asked.

"Ye's Restaurant."

"I am the boss Luo Yan."

Qin Ran responded calmly without putting down the newspaper in his hand. This slightly stiff attitude obviously made the middle-aged man feel awkward.

The other person is obviously not a sociable person.

Just asking that sentence was considered as courage.

After facing Qin Ran's indifference, he immediately stood there with a sneer on his face, turned around and walked out.

Qin Ran watched the other party go away without speaking, and continued to read the newspaper and 'listen' to the evening news.

About half an hour later, when the evening news was coming to an end, the middle-aged man ran back with a panicked expression.

The other party rushed into the restaurant, looking pale and gasping for air.

After a long time, he looked at Qin Ran in horror and said tremblingly: "It's...it's haunted outside!"

"Then what?"

Kieran turned over a page of the newspaper, still staring at the contents of the newspaper.

"Then?"

The middle-aged man was stunned.

Then, shouldn't you be curious or alarmed?

"You think I'm crazy?"

"Still think I'm lying to you?"

"I swear, I didn't!"

"I just really encountered a ghost!"

"Right at this street corner, there was someone... who just passed through my body. I screamed in fright, but he didn't hear it at all and kept walking forward."

The middle-aged man who thought that Qin Ran didn't believe him explained again.

"Then what?"

Qin Ran continued to ask.

"You, do you still don't believe me?"

"If you don't believe it, I can take you to see it!"

The middle-aged man said and was about to walk out again, but Qin Ran still sat there motionless.

Seeing Qin Ran showing no intention of getting up, the middle-aged man laughed to himself.

yes.

How do you prove to a stranger that you saw a ghost?

You also need to take the other person to see it.

If the other person believes you immediately, that's when you really see a ghost.

The middle-aged man sat there slumped.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the restaurant, and three figures walked in from the outside. When they saw the middle-aged man sitting there, they were all stunned.
