The Devil’s Cage

Chapter 1644 The Evil Guest Comes to the Door

The sun sets and night falls.

The cold wind of late autumn makes pedestrians on the road look more and more hurried, especially in places like the East District where there are no large bars or nightclubs. After 8 pm, there are no pedestrians and only an occasional patrol car appears.

Outside the 'Ye's Restaurant', the small blackboard was hung up early——

Closed today.

This is clearly written on it.

call!

The door of the restaurant was open, letting in the autumn wind.

Suddenly, the temperature in the restaurant began to plummet, especially when something appeared, and the wind became more and more cold to the bone.

Qin Ran was sitting in the restaurant as if he was unconscious, flipping through the newspapers of the day, and the [sharp standard sword] was quietly placed on the bar in front of him.

Tread, tap, tap.

Heavy footsteps sounded in front of the alley.

A tall, strong, and even extremely burly man walked over.

With every step he took, there was a sound like a rubber tire hitting the ground.

Under such commotion, the other party became more and more fierce.

Squeak, squeak!

The streetlight in front of the restaurant flashed rapidly again, causing the gloomy and slightly ferocious face of the man walking over to become gloomy and uncertain.

The other party looked at Kieran in the restaurant and opened his mouth, revealing sharp shark-like teeth.

"Delicious prey!"

The other party stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, and walked into the restaurant without stopping.

Squeak, squeak.

Immediately, the wooden floor beneath my feet groaned.

The burly dead man paid no attention at all.

It knows very well how heavy its body is in pursuit of power.

It's normal to make noise when you step on these floors.

Moreover, in some respects, it regarded this sound as its own praise, just like its slight disdain when its eyes glanced at the [Sharp Standard Sword] at this moment, both of which came from its nature.

Of course it recognizes the standard swords of Velites, Hastati, etc. in "The Herder".

In fact, it had eaten more than one such prey.

That taste...

So beautiful!

So much so that after it determined that the prey was a Velites or Hastati, it immediately eagerly prepared to hunt again.

Although it didn't digest its previous prey, it didn't mind giving itself an extra meal.

After all, it is rare to see Velites and Hastati alone.

Therefore, after entering the restaurant, the other party stretched out his hands and rushed towards Kieran like a bear.

Although Velites and Hastati are all newbies, they have become different from ordinary people. Such small methods are no longer suitable to deal with these rookies.

What's more, it prefers to use its arms, which are getting stronger at this moment, to tear apart its direct opponents.

Only in this way can the opponent's soul be made more delicious.

Is there anything more delicious than the soul of Velites and Hastati?

Nature is tortured and spiced with fear.

Woo!

Bringing up a gust of evil wind, the burly deceased's arms crossed the bar, and his hands grabbed straight towards Qin Ran. Qin Ran raised the newspaper in his left hand and stuck it on the opponent's face, then picked up the [Feng Rui Standard] with his right hand. Sword] pierces the opponent's throat.

Ding!

The tip of the sword hit the opponent's throat accurately, but there was a crisp sound of metal clashing.

The [Sharp Standard Sword], which already has a strong attack level, combined with the [Burning] attribute, has an extra +1 when facing the attacks of the dead, directly reaching a powerful attack level.

But even so, the tip of the [Sharp Standard Sword] still couldn't penetrate the throat of the burly dead man.

"hey-hey."

"Rookie, I'm different from the guys you've met before!"

The burly deceased grabbed the newspaper that covered his face and sneered.

The other party ignored the [Sharp Standard Sword] stabbed at his throat. He raised his hand and grabbed Qin Ran again.

Woo!

There was another strong wind blowing towards his face, blowing the tips of Kieran's hair.

Qin Ran turned aside and let go of the grasp, but the sword in his hand was slashed smoothly.

The sharp blade passed over the burly dead man's thick arm, causing sparks to fly.

Again, no real harm.

The burly dead man smiled proudly again.

It likes to see these rookies fall into despair after repeatedly failing.

Therefore, when he saw Kieran take two steps back and make a lunging movement, the burly deceased not only did not stop him, but instead pointed at his strong chest and waved at Kieran.

The meaning of provocation is self-evident.

Qin Ran raised his eyebrows, seemingly full of anger.

The next moment, his body suddenly jumped forward, and the sword in his hand stabbed straight into the eyes of the burly dead man.

Whoosh!

The blade pierced the air like an arrow.

Facing such a sword, the burly dead man remained calm and put his arms in front of his face.

Ding!

There was a slight stinging pain on his arm, which made the burly deceased feel more at ease.

This should be the opponent's strongest blow.

Among the Vilits and Hastati it encountered, it was very good.

At least it felt pain.

Do you want to defeat it with such a level of attack?

It’s really too far behind!

"it's useless!"

"How can a rookie like you understand how powerful I am!"

"Be obedient and let me eat you and become a part of me!"

As he spoke, the burly dead man grabbed the sword blade that was close at hand and pulled hard.

Kieran didn't want to be dragged over, so he could only let go.

However, even so, he was rolled out of the bar with his body by strength beyond the limits of ordinary people.

When grabbing the blade of the [Sharp Standard Sword], the burly dead man knew in his heart that Velites and Hastati, who had even lost their weapons, were like tiger cubs without their claws. They were not what they were in the first place. opponent.

Now?

Nothing to worry about at all!

Thinking of this, the burly dead man turned around.

Then……

The burly dead man saw Kieran carrying a gas tank with a metal hose.

Wisps of almost blue flames were shooting out of the metal hose.

Especially when Qin Ran, who was holding the gas tank, turned the valve, the raging flames, like dragon's breath, sprayed on the face of the burly dead man.

The flame formed by the liquefied gas was naturally not as magical as the dragon's breath, but the thousand-degree heat caused the burly dead man to let out a scream the moment he came into contact with it.

The upper body of the burly dead man, who ignored the metal slashes, was scorched black in the blink of an eye.

"Ahhh!"

"Kill you!"

"I am going to kill you!"

Roaring angrily, the burly dead man whose face was covered by the flames rushed towards Qin Ran based on his impression.

The other party didn't notice it at all, and there was an illusory chain under his feet.

The force of forward thrust stirred his feet.

The burly dead man fell to the floor of the restaurant in a completely dog-eating manner.

Click, click!

The wooden floor, which was already somewhat overwhelmed, finally completely collapsed at this time.

The figure of the burly dead man just disappeared from the ground and fell into the storage room under the restaurant.

boom!

The heavy impact echoed in the ground. The burly deceased who was knocked unconscious shook his head and subconsciously got up.

Then, it suddenly found something sticky binding its body.

"maltose?"

The burly dead man lowered his head and looked at the thick layer of lightly golden syrup surrounding him, and couldn't help but be stunned.

Then, there was a ferocious smile.

"Do you think you can restrain me with this little trick?"

The burly dead man roared and struggled.

However, the more he struggled, the more frightened the burly deceased became.

Because, as it struggled, the maltose covering half of the storage room not only did not loosen, but became even tighter.

To make matters worse, the cunning boy appeared above him carrying a gas can, and in the hands of the cunning boy... a large barrel of gasoline appeared.

The unscrewed lid and the pungent smell were enough to let the burly dead man know what he would face next.

"etc!"

"I……"

The burly dead man wanted to say something, but Kieran had no nonsense at all. After pouring the gasoline in his hand, he lit it directly with a homemade flamethrower.

"Ahhh!"

The miserable cries of the burly dead man appeared again.

The opponent's struggle became more and more intense.

Unfortunately it was completely useless.

Mimosa's special maltose is very viscous under normal conditions, but when exposed to high temperatures, the viscosity becomes twenty percent.

Moreover, the special maltose can also... boost combustion!

The burly dead man wrapped in such maltose was like a barbecue brushed with a layer of honey in the flames, quickly becoming crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

When a limit is reached...

boom!

The burly dead man just exploded.

One after another, illusory figures flew up from the opponent's exploded body.

Kieran glanced at it.

There were five familiar ones, the same five who were marked on the information Amy had collected before, and there were even more unfamiliar ones, more than twenty in total.

Among them, the most eye-catching ones are the two young men with swords at their waists.

Unlike other ghosts, relief and gratitude appeared on the illusory faces of these two young men with swords at their waists when they saw Kieran, especially the [sharp standard sword] that was held in Kieran's hands again.

When the other ghosts turned into fireflies and headed for the distance, they both bowed to Qin Ran before choosing to leave.

Suddenly, the five major sources of power, which were already growing rapidly, accelerated again.

[The mental attribute breaks through a layer of seal, B→B+]

[Strength, agility, constitution, and perception break through a layer of seal, E→E+]

Kieran expected that the mental attributes would break through the seal again, but the sudden breakthrough of the remaining attributes surprised Kieran.

However, at this time, Qin Ran didn't think much about it.

Because, in such a strong atmosphere of going far away, many cold atmospheres have begun to gather here.

Without any hesitation.

Kieran, who was well prepared, rushed out with a gas tank on his back, a long sword in one hand and a metal hose in the other.

Slash with long sword.

The flames burned.

The approaching dead disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The ones that didn’t disappear went to the ‘distant place’ again.

Almost instantly, the dead who heard the invitation and came to watch cursed the burly dead man bloody.

Why eat Velites and Hastati alive?

What a huge secret to reveal.

Why form an alliance with a battle tonight?

Didn’t he become a dead dog in the end?

damn it!

Why did you listen to that guy's subordinate's invitation and come here to make yourself uncomfortable?

When they think of the opponent's subordinate, all these dead people grit their teeth.

That bastard is so good at drawing pie.

But what happened to the other party's magical ability to travel through the sun?

Is there really any secret?

Doubts kept appearing in the minds of these dead people.

But the butcher behind them gave them no time to think about it, and they all ran back to their lair.

Or a dark underground sewer, an old house in disrepair, or a hospital morgue.

But, no matter where.

The butcher is like a prophet who always comes to the door, greets them with the sword in his hand, and then uses the flames to 'help' them fulfill their wishes.

"The pleasure of hanging others?"

"How can it be compared to dancing in flames? Let's dance!"

"Stab someone with a knife?"

"No, what you need is to have an epiphany in the flames, and your wish can be fulfilled by yourself!"

"Have you fulfilled your wish?"

"No, no, such a wish is not complete without experiencing the baptism of fire!"

Amidst the burning flames, patches of distant aura began to appear in the 7th District of East Ai City.

As the person in charge of the East 9th District, Bain quickly came to the restaurant as soon as there were a lot of people going to the "distant place" in the "Ye Zhi Restaurant".

Although he had sworn before that he would never come here.

But his duty as a 'herder' forced him to come.

Then, with almost twitching at the corner of his mouth, he watched Qin Ran, with a sword in one hand and a metal hose in his hand, clearing out the dead.

He has never seen such a weird way of fighting!

It’s a disgrace to the ‘herders’!

but……

This guy doesn't seem to be a member of the 'Herders'.

And, it seems to be working.

After watching the flames spit out from the modified gas tank and swallowing the dead one after another, Bain was inexplicably moved.

But immediately, the herder shook his head.

No!

This is evil!

This is wrong!

This...just use it occasionally!

After watching another dead person who had escaped from him turn to ashes in the flames, Bain became hesitant. Bain naturally knew how difficult it was to deal with these dead people who could escape his pursuit, but these The difficult guys were wiped out one after another.

It's really, really...

He wanted to use words to describe it, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of a suitable word. In the end, Bain shook his head and focused on Kieran again.

At the same time, a doubt arose again.

How did he find the hiding place of these dead people?

Not only that, Bain was confused.

The same goes for the rest of the 'herders' who arrived.

After they looked at each other, they looked at Bain.

"What are you looking at me doing?"

"He is Ed King, the junior from the mountains, and he is not mine?"

"Who knows if he learned it in the mountains?"

Facing such a look, Bain said directly.

"Where's Ed King?"

"Not back yet?"

one of the herders asked.

"With such a capable junior here, I will also give myself a long vacation. How can I come back so soon?"

said another herder.

As soon as these words came out, all the herders, including Bain who was investigating, nodded unanimously.

However, the next moment, Bain was stunned.

Because, he saw Qin Ran rushing into the high school in East District 7.

And there is where Ed King disappeared!

Bain frowned.

Coincidence, right?
