Chapter 1652 Correct Way to Open

"Sacrifice..."

"Sure enough, I became a sacrifice!"

Facing Qin Ran's question, Li Jiajia's eyes immediately became dull and she leaned there weakly.

Qin Ran looked at Li Jiajia in this state and did not ask immediately.

Instead, he stood there quietly and waited.

So does Bane.

Even, in some aspects, Bain had more experience than Kieran.

The situations he faced were really too many.

When he first became Vilits, he would face people like Li Jiajia who were "accidentally contacted" by mysterious parties every day. At that time, his main job was to find out what happened from such people's mouths.

Therefore, Bain never lacks patience.

After about a few minutes, Li Jiajia gradually came back to her senses.

"When I was trapped in that secret magic circle, the woman in black robe wanted to sacrifice me to something. Although it was interrupted because of the appearance of you, the patron saint, that thing remembered my breath. , and, listed me as a sacrifice, and began to look for other people who could preside over the sacrifice."

Li Jiajia said this.

"Is this what the voice told you?"

Qin Ran asked.

"Um."

Li Jiajia nodded.

Kieran looked at Bain.

Due to the difference in mysterious knowledge, he could only speculate on many things in the copy world in front of him instead of confirming them. Therefore, Kieran didn't mind asking professionals.

"I can't be sure."

"Wait for the others."

"Whiterick from Area 1 should know."

Facing a similar situation, Bain was very cautious.

The herders who had received Bain's notice before did not keep Qinran waiting and appeared quickly.

There were young and old, but no women.

According to Bain, it is difficult for women to become official herders, but once they become herders, they are extremely powerful.

The natural characteristics of women have already determined all this.

"Hello, Luo Yan."

"I am Whiterick, the person in charge of East District 1."

"It's great to be able to meet officially so soon."

An old man with gray hair but still in excellent health came over on behalf of the herdsmen.

The old man had a smile on his face and a very elegant temperament. If his hair hadn't turned gray and there were wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, he would have looked like a middle-aged man.

"Hello."

"What do you think of 'sacrifice'?"

After Qin Ran responded, he went directly to the topic.

"What she said should be true."

"The people of witchcraft have their own power system, which is different from ordinary evil priests. Although they rarely hold sacrifices, it does not mean that they do not."

"It's easy for them to break through the bottom line for strength or other purposes."

"After all, most people who choose the art of witchcraft have no bottom line."

The old man said helplessly and shook his head.

"What did they sacrifice?"

"A god?"

Qin Ran asked the question he was most concerned about.

"God?"

"Maybe there was at the beginning, but most people on the mysterious side now believe that the gods at that time were just powerful people on the mysterious side."

"Or……"

"It's weird."

Faced with Kieran's question, the old man didn't hide it.

Because of King Ed, Kieran was one of his own, and when Kieran agreed to participate in the winter night battle in Ai City, the relationship between the two parties immediately became irreconcilable.

As long as it didn't involve confidential matters, Whiterick wouldn't hide anything.

"Have they or their sacrifices been recorded?"

Qin Ran asked after pondering for a moment.

Sacrifice will naturally produce the power of faith.

Being able to use the power of faith is at least level V. If you want to go further, you must be level V or above.

Kieran needed to know how far high-level creatures could reach in this dungeon world, so that he could better deal with what was happening in front of him and formulate a more secure plan.

Once plans are made, they need to change.

A plan that is accomplished overnight cannot be set in stone.

"There are some records."

"However, the introduction is very vague."

"There is no process, no sacrificial words, and no specific names will appear."

The old man replied.

"What about the scale?"

Qin Ran asked.

Scale is the key to the power of faith and also the key to judgment.

“Some are big and some are small.”

"The small ones have dozens or hundreds of people, which is the most recorded. The large ones have tens of thousands of people, and there are very few records. However, in similar records, it is mentioned that there were once a hundred thousand people in the sacrificial ceremony - this It’s a record of just a few words, I don’t know more.”

The old man said in detail.

One hundred thousand people!

Qin Ran's heart trembled.

Eliminating the possibility of waste, being able to host such a level of sacrificial celebration is not possible at level V. Qin Ran, who is already at level V, knows very well.

Different from pan-faith, at the same time, pure faith of ten thousand people is his limit.

Once it is exceeded, the obsession in the power of faith will affect his spirit.

Level VI?

Qin Ran thought to himself, but he did not forget the proper etiquette.

"Thanks."

Qin Ran said.

"You're welcome."

"This is what you should know. I'm just telling you on behalf of King Ed. I already know the whereabouts of that bastard King Ed."

"If there are no accidents, he will be able to come back during the Winter Night War."

The old man smiled, his attitude completely mistaking Qin Ran for a junior.

However, Kieran was not concerned about King Ed's whereabouts, especially judging from the old man's tone, there was nothing wrong with King Ed.

His eyes looked at Li Jiajia.

Li Jiajia is the key to the problem at this moment.

"Do not worry."

"We have enough experience to deal with Li Jiajia's problem."

The old man stood up and walked towards Li Jiajia.

Qin Ran did not follow him.

The distance in the restaurant would not hinder his sight and hearing.

Therefore, he clearly heard Li Jiajia's rejection.

"My guardian angel is here."

"I will not leave!"

Li Jiajia said very firmly.

"You know, you will be safer with us and you will not cause trouble to Luo Yan."

Whiterick tried to persuade Li Jiajia.

But such persuasion has no effect at all.

"The voice told me that Luo Yan is the safest around me."

Li Jiajia is stubborn.

Whiterick sighed helplessly.

Although the herder can erase the memory of bystanders, he cannot interfere with the choices of ordinary people without reason, especially when this ordinary person begins to show different talents.

The old man walked back to Qin Ran again.

"Although we have enough experience to deal with Li Jiajia's problem, Li Jiajia himself obviously trusts you more, Luo Yan."

The old man showed a helpless smile, and then tentatively suggested: "Li Jiajia will stay here temporarily, I will let Bain watch him, and I will count Luo Yan, you have completed the mission of the herder - you can get The remuneration is not cheap, of course, it won’t be money, it will be cash.”

"What do you think?"

"Can."

Qin Ran nodded.

When he learned that people of witchcraft would come after "sacrifice", Qin Ran didn't mind Li Jiajia staying. After all, the other party represented a "bait" that could be recycled and used multiple times to bring him corresponding results. The appearance of the trophy, the [Ring of the Vicious Dog], made Qin Ran very tempted.

And at this moment, even less so.

Although his material needs are very low, Kieran doesn't mind if he can maintain the restaurant in front of him and get better food.

What's more, Mimosa also needs more spare money to buy cotton-padded clothes for the winter.

"Then leave it to you, Luo Yan. Bain will cooperate with you."

After seeing Qin Ran agree, the old man stood up with a smile.

The rest of the herders, except for Bain, all politely left.

Shepherds are no idlers.

Even with the help of assistants, they will not leave their jurisdiction for too long, even during the day, unless there is a mission.

"In addition to the master bedroom, there are also rooms on the second floor. You can choose as you like."

"But try to walk softly and don't make any noise."

"I usually go to bed at seven in the morning and get up at three in the afternoon. During this period, don't disturb me unless necessary."

Kieran closed the door again, unplugged the phone cord, and warned the two of them.

Li Jiajia nodded to express her understanding.

The same goes for Bane.

But unlike Li Jiajia, Bain did not choose a room.

"I'll sleep here."

Bain pointed to the restaurant lobby.

"random."

Kieran glanced at the other party and understood that the other party was doing it for safety reasons. He would not tell the other party that he had 'eyes' that were far more useful than a sentry here. Therefore, after nodding, he walked upstairs.

After quietly returning to the room, Mimosa was still asleep.

As if sensing Kieran's return, Mimosa turned around and asked in a daze: "Are you back?"

"Um."

"never mind."

"Keep sleeping."

…

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the biological clock makes Mimosa wake up slowly.

The moment Mimosa opened her eyes, Qin Ran had already sat up.

"morning."

Looking at Kieran sitting by the bed, Mimosa greeted him habitually.

"Well, morning."

"We have two more temporary tenants."

After Qin Ran responded, he briefly talked about Li Jiajia and Bain.

“It’s also nice to have extra income.”

Mimosa laughed, her eyes curved like crescent moons.

Undoubtedly, Mimosa really welcomes the two people who stayed at Ye Zhi Restaurant with their rent.

Because, in this way, he can purchase more high-end ingredients and make more delicious food for Kieran.

After the two of them washed up, they walked downstairs. Li Jiajia and Bain were already sitting in the restaurant lobby. After the two introduced each other, Mimosa went into the kitchen and got busy.

Qin Ran picked up the map of Ai City he bought yesterday and looked at it carefully.

Aicheng is divided into four major regions: east, west, south, north, and each region is subdivided into 11 communities.

At this moment, Qin Ran's eyes fell on the northern area of ​​the map.

Unlike the relatively stable East Side, the North Side, where slums and gangs are rampant, is a place where many weirdos are happy to gather.

The same is also Kieran's next target.

After harvesting the Eastern District and further unblocking his strength, it was naturally impossible for Kieran to remain indifferent to the remaining three districts in Ai City.

Especially after it was confirmed from Whiterick's mouth that there was a so-called sacrifice, Kieran felt even more urgent.

Of course, Kieran didn't want to encounter those things in this situation, but what Kieran knew better was that things are unpredictable, so it's better to be prepared.

After carefully checking the map of the North District, Qin Ran thought, and the superior evil spirit guarding the roof of the restaurant disappeared.

then?

Kieran waited patiently while wiping the tables, chairs and floor of the restaurant.

Although he didn't expect many customers, since he was the owner of the restaurant, Kieran hoped that the restaurant would be clean.

During this period, the conversation between Bain and Li Jiajia kept reaching Kieran's ears.

“The most important thing when facing weirdness is to overcome your fear!”

"As long as you overcome your fear, you have at least a 30% chance of winning!"

Bain raised an index finger and said.

"What about the remaining 70%?"

"Need to fight?"

Li Jiajia asked.

"No!"

"Fighting is only a last-minute resort. Of the remaining 70%, 50% is to use words to persuade the other party."

Bain shook his head.

"Persuade?"

“Can weirdness be persuasive?”

Li Jiajia was stunned.

"certainly!"

"There are not as many weird things caused by harm as you think. Most of the weird things are in a very confused state."

"They will also be at a loss when faced with death."

"So at this time, it is best to use words to explain them."

Bain said in detail.

"Then at the end, when there is no other choice, will you be able to fight?"

Li Jiajia asked.

"No!"

"Because according to my approach, they will be solved smoothly."

"No need to fight!"

Bain said confidently.

Next, there are some notes on persuasion.

Qin Ran listened without comment.

There is no approval and no objection.

Everyone has their own choice, and it’s really hard to say whether it’s good or bad.

Just as Bain was clearly training Li Jiajia as an apprentice (not Willits), there was no doubt that Li Jiajia's 'talent' impressed Bain or Whiterick.

And similarly, with Li Jiajia's 'talent', she can naturally understand Bain's intention of doing this, but she is still learning from Bain.

Naturally, Kieran wouldn't ask much about this kind of thing.

As long as it doesn't affect him and Mimosa.

Time passed quickly. After it had been dark for a long time and the strong smell of mutton soup came from the kitchen, Kieran placed the small blackboard at the door.

Unlike in the past, when I haven't seen a customer for a long time, tonight, the moment I put the blackboard out, a customer came to the door.

The abnormal expression and cold breath all indicate the identity of the other party.

"I need help."

"I was told there was help here."

"I'm dead, I know I'm dead."

"But how should I face life after death?"

"Just wandering around like this?"

"What's the difference between that and when I was alive?"

"And, will my wife and kids miss me?"

"Where are they?"

…

Amidst the confused and rambling words, the deceased just sat down in front of Qin Ran.

But before Kieran could say anything, Bain winked and said: Leave it to him.

Kieran watched silently as Bain came over with Li Jiajia.

"Death is a new beginning."

"There will be a little confusion at the beginning."

"But I'd like to help you adjust."

Bain spoke in a soft voice.

Li Jiajia on the side opened her eyes wide, trying not to let go of the field teaching in front of her.

"help me?"

"Will you give me a house? Give me money?"

asked the garrulous dead man.

"The deceased does not need a house or money, but should understand what he wants most. Only after understanding these, can he go to the 'distance'."

Bain explained

"But I just want a house and money."

"I also want a yacht and a private jet."

"There better be a cute little sister up there."

"besides……"

The nagging dead man spoke very quickly and made a long list of unreasonable demands.

"These are all in vain, you are already dead..."

"But this is what I wanted when I was alive. After I die, it becomes an obsession. Isn't it wrong?"

The other party interrupted Bain and asked.

"It's not wrong, but..."

"Don't you want it?"

Bain's words were interrupted again.

Moreover, the other party's rhetorical question this time really left Bain speechless.

Because he really wants it too!

"Don't you fulfill the wishes of the dead and save them?"

"Hurry up and fulfill my wish and let me go to the 'distance'!"

The dead man looked at Bain expectantly.

Under such gaze, Bain turned his head unconsciously, looking very guilty.

Then, the deceased looked at Li Jiajia.

Li Jiajia, who was not even an apprentice, was even more at a loss.

boom!

Looking at the appearance of the two of them, the deceased slammed the table angrily.

"Liar! They are all liars!"

"You bunch of liars, I'm going to tear this place apart..."

Snapped!

With a crisp sound, the voice of the deceased suddenly stopped.

The sound of the deceased being slapped in the face by Qin Ran's sword.

The deceased spun in the air and fell to the floor.

Qin Ran's figure followed the opponent like a shadow, and the [Sharp Standard Sword] sword spine in his hand kept hitting the opponent's face.

"House? Money?"

Bang bang bang!

"Yacht? Private jet? Young lady?"

Bang bang bang!

"Feel it?"

Bang bang bang!

The [Sharp Standard Sword] kept lashing out, and the speed was almost like a phantom. During this period, the deceased wanted to resist, but was whipped to the ground before he could take action.

After several times, the deceased burst into tears.

"stop fighting."

"stop fighting."

"I know I was wrong!"

"I shouldn't expect pie in the sky so much!"

"But I can always go see my wife and children, right?"

the dead man yelled.

"Isn't this pie in the sky?"

"How can a guy like you have a wife and children?"

"There must be a limit to daydreaming!"

Bang bang bang!

The ridge of the sword in Qin Ran's hand continued to strike, and the deceased's eyes were dull, as if he had suddenly lost the meaning of his ghost life, and just like that, he turned into a little firefly and floated into the distance.

Kieran put away his sword and walked back to the bar.

Bain looked at Kieran dumbfounded.

Li Jiajia was thoughtful.

She felt that she had found the right way to escape.
