The Devil’s Cage

Chapter 201 Deception

Blood dripped, scarlet dazzling.

Standing in the shadows, Kieran narrowed his eyes and looked at the auditorium in front of him.

Although the door was closed, he couldn't see what happened in the auditorium, but looking at the blood dripping on the steps, Kieran could guess that the auditorium must be full of corpses.

"what happened?"

Qin Ran secretly guessed.

Then, carefully using the shadows to hide, we are going to stay away from the auditorium.

For Qin Ran, who has no equipment and is injured, one thing more is worse than one thing less.

It's the same no matter how curious you are.

Of course, more because: this is a special instance of being hired.

If the special dungeon in front of him was a normal dungeon, even if it was a risk, Kieran would try it.

After all, for normal dungeons that increase the number of dungeons and thus increase the difficulty of dungeons, if you don't take risks, you will only fall into a vicious circle of being eliminated sooner or later.

but now?

He just needs to do his best to help Hans complete the main task.

If there are more sub-quests and title tasks that can be completed, Qin Ran naturally doesn't mind completing them.

However, Kieran can be sure that the auditorium in front of him is definitely not in this category.

The situation in front of him, no matter from which aspect, is telling the danger contained in it.

If he wanted to attract the attention of the soldiers, there were other options, and he didn't have to risk it here.

Carefully, Qin then backed away.

But the next moment, Qin Ran stopped in his tracks.

In his line of sight, a figure appeared in front of the auditorium.

The figure was wearing a hood, and his face could not be seen clearly.

But with slender limbs, silent walking, and accurate grasp of the interweaving gap between shadow and light, it is obvious that he has a considerable level of [stealth].

The other party's appearance immediately attracted Kieran's attention.

Especially when the other party went straight to the auditorium.

Qin Ran stood in the shadows holding his breath, watching the other party push open the door of the auditorium.

He hoped to use the other party's hand to take a look at the situation in the auditorium.

Squeak!

The door of the auditorium was pushed open.

The blood-soaked door hinge made a piercing friction sound inside the door frame, and the firelight shone in from the auditorium, allowing Kieran, who was standing in the shadow, to see everything clearly.

Just as Qin Ran guessed.

The auditorium was filled with dead bodies.

From Kieran's point of view, there were at least a dozen or twenty corpses.

And, that's definitely not all.

The dark shadow examined the body.

Qin Ran also 'examined' the corpse.

Because of the distance, Kieran couldn't see the wounds of the corpse clearly, but the clothing of the corpse could be clearly seen.

Not the uniforms of soldiers and guards.

It is also different from the clothes of the servants in the castle.

Although these corpses have different weapons, they all wear the same style of leather armor.

Obviously from a force.

"Someone's personal weapon!"

Qin Ran guessed with certainty.

But because of limited information, he couldn't determine which force it came from.

"The massacre in the castle?"

"What happened?"

Qin Ran smelled a 'conspiracy'.

Then, he started backing away again.

It was enough for Kieran to be able to see clearly the situation in the auditorium from a relatively long distance.

He has not forgotten that what he has to do now is to buy time and opportunities for lawlessness.

However, the next scene forced Qin Ran to stop again.

"ah!"

The figure who was inspecting the corpse in the auditorium seemed to see something extraordinary, and involuntarily let out an exclamation.

But such exclamation stopped abruptly.

A member of the body that should have been on the ground jumped up suddenly, and a sword wiped the opponent's throat.

quick!

too fast!

Even in Qin Ran's eyes, it was just a flash of a sword.

And the figure that entered the auditorium didn't react at all, and lost the breath of life.

hiss!

Qin Ran took a deep breath in his heart.

Because, if he was in the opponent's position, he would not be able to avoid such a sudden strike.

The speed of the opponent's sword is not only fast, but also the timing is too accurate.

This made Qin Ran feel like an enemy.

He squinted his eyes, trying to look at him out of the corner of his eye.

The speed of the opponent's sword has already shown a speed far beyond the imagination of ordinary people, and Qin Ran is not sure whether the opponent's perception is also sharp.

But Qin Ran didn't dare to take the risk.

With his current state, if he meets the opponent, he will definitely lose or lose.

As Qin Ran looked out of the corner of his eye, the person disguised as a corpse lowered his head to check the intruder, and sneered.

Then, there is no stopping.

He knocked over the candlestick in the auditorium.

call!

The flames of the candlesticks blazed rapidly along the tapestries on the walls.

After a while, the completely wooden auditorium was engulfed in flames.

Soldiers in the distance shouted loudly.

The person disguised as a corpse walked out of the auditorium unhurriedly and disappeared into the darkness.

From beginning to end, the other party did not mean to cover his face.

Because, a blood-stained mask has been covering the other party's true appearance, making it impossible for Qin Ran to see the other party's true face.

After watching the other party disappear from the corner of his eye, Kieran also left quickly.

The soldiers who saw the fire in the auditorium were coming soon.

If you don't leave, you will be trapped.

Qin Ran shuttled through the shadows, and quickly headed towards the kitchen that he had agreed with Lawlessness.

The person disguised as a corpse set fire to the auditorium. In a sense, it was a favor for Qin Ran, preventing him from having to look for suitable targets.

However, Qin Ran knew that the other party's intention was not to help.

Kieran didn't know what the previous massacre was for.

But for the subsequent assassination, Kieran was quite sure that the opponent had been waiting for the target to appear.

Otherwise, the other party doesn't need to pretend to be a corpse at all.

There is no need to start the fire now.

After the massacre was completed early, it was the correct choice to set the entire auditorium on fire or leave directly.

Moreover, a more important point: the opponent already knew that the target would appear here.

This is no easy task.

You must have a good understanding of the target.

"acquaintance!"

Qin Ran came to this conclusion.

It's a pity that this was of no use to clear up Kieran's doubts.

Until now, he still doesn't know who was killed.

...

Graton stood outside the medical officer's room with a solemn expression.

He had already sent four elite men into the room, trying to capture the fugitive 'thief' alive, but the four elite men lost all news as soon as they entered the room.

This made Gratton understand the seriousness of the matter.

The opponent is far stronger than he imagined.

Even if it is seriously injured.

"Damn it!"

"Are all the members of the Bastion infantry regiment blind?"

"This kind of person who is far beyond the rank of an ordinary captain is only treated as an ordinary soldier!"

"Is there shit in Kiruel's head?"

Even though Graton hasn't got the exact information yet, in the bottom of Graton's heart, he has already started to scold at the head of the 'Bulwark' infantry regiment.

As the governor of the western region of the entire principality, Graton has a deep understanding of the elite regiment under the command of Grand Duke Merck.

Such a person who was seriously injured and could silently kill four of his subordinates was definitely one of the backbone personnel, and there would not be many in the entire corps.

But such a character is treated like an ordinary soldier.

This seemed inconceivable to Gratton.

If it weren't for knowing that Kirul is not a person who does not distinguish between public and private, Graton would have guessed what dirty things Kirul had done.

It's a pity that this kind of understanding can't calm Graton's anger.

It is an indisputable fact that he lost four elite men.

"Asshole! Asshole!"

Graton cursed again and again.

At the bottom of my heart, I was thinking about how to capture the people in the room alive.

He knew very well that although it was somewhat difficult to kill the backbone personnel of a corps, it would definitely not be so difficult.

Forcibly attacking hard crossbows, raining arrows, coupled with some elite cooperation, such a person will also have to end in hatred.

But if you want to capture him alive...

Disaster!

It was so difficult that even Gratton couldn't do anything about it.

However, with the appearance of a group of people, a smile appeared on Gratton's face.

The 'Gift' team!

Although Graton didn't know why the 'Gift' team appeared here, but with the appearance of the opponent, the problem that had been bothering him was solved.

Even if the fugitive trapped in the room had the strength of a key member of the corps, he could not resist the 'Gift' team.

Because, everyone in the 'Gift' team has such strength.

In particular, the captain was far beyond ordinary members.

So Gratton, smiling, went up to him.

"Captain Joker, I have never been looking forward to your appearance like now!"

Graton said to a slender but muscular man who pushed up his clothes.

"We have received orders from His Highness, and we will follow the arrangements of Advisor Flynn!"

"Where's Advisor Flynn?"

Jock saluted first, then asked in a cold tone

Graton didn't care about such indifference at all.

About the Grand Duke's order?

He complied completely.

Without hesitation, Gratton talked about the matter in front of him.

"Consultant Flynn, it is estimated that another fugitive 'thief' has been caught!"

"You guys will see each other in a while!"

Gratton said.

Jock nodded and did not refute Gratton.

No one present would refute.

They all believed that Flynn would easily catch the fugitive 'thief'.

So, when a soldier came running panting and shouting—

"The auditorium is on fire!"

"It's full of dead people"

"Advisor Flynn's body is among them!"

Such words immediately stunned everyone.

No, there was one more person who didn't.

boom!

The door of the medical officer's room flew out, spun, and smashed into the crowd.
