Chapter 225 Night Owl
Snapped!
The bottle containing the cold liquor hit Lawless's forehead fiercely, and the bottle shattered immediately, but the huge force contained on it made Lawless stagger.
"Are you awake?"
"If you are not sober, I don't mind giving you another bottle!"
At some point, Rachel had already appeared in front of Lawless, and after throwing away the rest of the wine bottle, she looked up at Lawless.
The face hidden by the system made it impossible to see her eyes clearly.
But that doesn't include lawlessness.
The killing intent quickly disappeared like a volcanic eruption.
"Sorry, Rachel!"
"I lost my temper!"
Lawless apologized sincerely.
Not only to Rachel, but also to the senior players around.
"That bottle of wine is my treat, but the rest will be compensated according to the price!"
"I know you don't have points!"
"So, keep the books!"
Rachel walked back to the bar while talking, and continued to wipe the wine glass in front of her.
Lawless looked at Rachel's appearance, his lips moved.
In the end, nothing was said.
He still can't say some words.
After a long sigh in his heart, Lawless turned around and looked at the players including Qin Ran and Hans. He apologized again.
"Sorry, everyone!"
"just……"
"What happened?"
Before Lawless could finish speaking, Hans had already interrupted Lawless' words.
Qin Ran's eyes were also on Lawless.
Since he knew lawlessness, it was the first time for Qin Ran to see lawlessness like this.
That was no longer emotionally explainable.
It was outright anger, about to kill someone.
In particular, the killing intent shown by the lawlessness, and the strange phenomenon caused by it, shocked Qin Ran even more.
How many killings would it take to accumulate the killing intent!
Or to put it another way, how much strength should one have as a background to make the killing intent erupt to cause the surrounding visions?
"The gap is quite large!"
After comparing himself, Qin Ran sighed in his heart.
He never considered himself the only lucky one.
Since he can open a special copy world, senior players such as Lawless can also.
Hans is the best example.
Although it was punitive, but when talking about it, Lawless's expression was enough to show that Lawless was no stranger to special dungeons.
During the [Island Prison] dungeon, Lawless said that he was the eighth dungeon. This is just the ordinary dungeon world he experienced. If the special dungeon world is counted...
"There should be at least 10+ times!"
"Even, far beyond my imagination!"
Qin Ran guessed from the bottom of his heart, and at the same time listened intently to the lawless words.
"The guy who followed us before is online!"
"However, they cooperated with the raiding killer players and killed one of our guards there!"
"Cole was also seriously injured!"
"And, they were kidnapped by them!"
Lawless said in a deep voice, and showed everyone a screenshot.
In the picture, a skinny player covered in blood was hanging in mid-air. The opponent's limbs were distorted to varying degrees, and he was in a coma.
Qin Ran looked at the screenshot and frowned.
This player named Cole had met him once.
In Ximaican Square, the puppy-like robot used by the other party left an impression on Kieran.
"Who sent it?"
Qin Ran asked.
With Cole's appearance, Kieran can be sure that the other party will definitely not be able to send out the screenshot in front of him and ask Lawless for help.
"The signed nickname is: Night Owl."
"Who has an impression?"
Lawless asked everyone.
A group of senior players either looked at each other in blank dismay, or frowned and thought hard, but in the end they had no impression of this player.
As for Qin Ran?
As a semi-novice, it is even more impossible for him to know this player.
But that doesn't stop him from doing what he can.
For example: Take a closer look at that screenshot.
"The screenshot is taken from the perspective of the kidnapper, or the player named 'Night Owl'!"
"The room is bright and the sunlight shines in directly. According to the current position of the sun, there should be a huge window on the east side of this room!"
"You can't see the outside scenery in the screenshot, but with such lighting, it's either an extremely wide flat land, or a high-rise building that doesn't block the east!"
"There is no extra decoration in the room, but it is in a mess. There are wine bottles and cigarette butts on the ground..."
"Huh!"
Qin Ran, who was observing the screenshot, suddenly narrowed his eyes.
Because, among the many cigarette butts, several cigarette butts have lipstick on them.
"woman?"
Qin Ran was taken aback.
Then, he observed this pile of seemingly inconspicuous garbage more carefully.
More clues were found almost immediately.
"According to the shape of the bottle, there are probably two different types of wine!"
Qin Ran guessed.
In order to be more accurate, Qin Ran walked towards Rachel with the screenshot.
"If this is the real world, I can tell you what type of wine it is, and even its brewing process, but this is an underground game!"
"You never know what's in there!"
After glancing at the screenshot, Rachel said angrily.
"All right!"
Qin Ran, who didn't get an answer, shrugged and walked towards Lawlessness.
"I think we should go and have a look!"
"Maybe there's still a clue there!"
Qin Ran suggested.
"agree!"
Hans was the first to chime in.
"Some people stay here, contact others, and continue to inquire about 'Night Owl'!"
"Another group of people, go to the scene with me!"
Lawless said immediately.
Immediately, everyone took action.
Qin Ran naturally joined the team heading to the scene.
However, considering that there may be traps, ambushes and other factors arranged by killer players there, the remaining candidates are selected by lawlessness.
Although the senior players present are all the best among Lone Rangers, they still have their own leaning points. Some are good at attacking, some are good at defending, and some are supporting.
Lawless selected three senior players to go with them, including Hans, based on the difference in tilt points.
...
Qin Ran and the other five got off the train.
Levin, who was playing an auxiliary and scouting role, acted immediately.
"Meow meow!"
"Wow!"
From the other party's mouth issued a cat, dog barking.
The next moment, a dozen stray cats and dogs appeared around each other.
When the other party grabbed a lot of cat food and dog food, these cats and dogs immediately took action.
Although he introduced himself on the train before, Kieran was still surprised when he saw the scene in front of him.
"Levin, but the Chosen One!"
"If it wasn't for his poor communication skills and withdrawn personality, he would have been poached by those guilds long ago!"
Hans introduced it to Qin Ran.
"The chosen one?"
"It's amazing!"
Qin Ran said so.
Chosen One, an alternative name for players who can use skills and equipment that require spiritual attributes.
Because of [Gaze of a Half-Dead Man], Qin Ran asked Lawless about this news.
However, it was the first time to see the "Chosen One" player in person.
When the cats and dogs dispersed, birds appeared on the street.
After communicating with Levin, these birds also received a piece of food and flew away.
After about ten minutes, the cats, dogs and birds returned one after another.
"Safety!"
Levine said.
The voice is hoarse, not because of the voice.
Simply because the other party doesn't speak often.
Thinking about Hans' evaluation of the other party's "loneliness", Kieran understood for a while.
"I lead!"
Hans said.
A large shield that was as tall as a man appeared in his hands, and he walked at the forefront of the team.
Hans is good at defense, as Kieran knew from the last dungeon.
But because of the special features of the last dungeon, this was the first time Kieran saw the other party appear in the form of a 'shield defender'.
The player named Lamont, who was good at attacking, stood on the left side of Hans, Kieran stood on the right side, and Levin stood in the middle, behind the lawless palace.
The five of them moved forward in this way.
Even though Levin reported safety, the five were still cautious.
All the way to the scene of the incident, such caution did not relax.
Hans and Lamont were in charge of guarding the scene, while Kieran, Levin, and Lawless were investigating the scene.
The corpse, because of the rules of the underground game, has already been refreshed and disappeared.
However, some traces still remain.
For example: bloodstains, traces of fighting.
This is in an alley.
To the outside is the avenue for Qin Ran and the other five to come.
Inward is a narrow corridor with a T-shaped opening.
The killer player who followed Qin Ran before went offline near this T-shaped opening.
At this moment, on the wall directly opposite the narrow aisle leading to the avenue, there is a large amount of blood, which is completely sprayed and covered the front wall.
On the wall to the right of the T-shaped mouth, there is an impact mark.
After scanning two obvious traces, Kieran entered the field of view of [Tracking].
Immediately, everything became clearer.
"The killer player suddenly went online here, and after attracting the attention of the two monitoring players including Cole, the two killer players hiding in the shadow on one side immediately launched an attack!"
"The players in Ming Dynasty had their throats cut, and one blow was fatal!"
"Cole was pressed on the back of his head and hit the wall in front of him straight!"
"Then, the other three left calmly, and wiped away the traces of leaving!"
"The action is fast and concealed. In addition to surprise and corresponding skills, there is also a tacit cooperation..."
"Moreover, the tacit cooperation is so close to the time... The other party is not just as simple as knowing each other in the game!"
"There must be communication in reality!"
"Otherwise, it would be impossible to achieve such an effect!"
Qin Ran, who came to the above conclusion, frowned slightly.
He knew exactly what would happen if the killer player in front of him had a connection in reality.
Not only is it more difficult to find out the other party, but the other party can completely form a more solid cooperation and operation mode.
"I don't know how many of the killer players know each other in real life?"
"Is it because these people in front of you are special?"
"still?"
Qin Ran frowned even tighter.
"There is a discovery!"
Levine suddenly spoke up.
