Chapter 238 Screening (3rd)
"I……"
Culkin subconsciously denied it.
Although anyone with a little ability in Burr City knew about his relationship with Hook, Culkin would not admit such a thing.
You know, he has the status of a policeman.
And, it's not just any policeman.
Things that are extremely difficult for others are really easy for him with this identity.
With just a little bit of thinking, you can get a lot of money.
Just like Hook who has always given him filial piety.
Under his command, there are several people who are like Hu Ke.
Calkin, who has long been familiar with taste, is unwilling to lose the deviation brought about by this identity.
However, before Calkin finished speaking, he suddenly found that the young man in front of him became blurred.
The black figure was stretched and then shortened.
In the end it was completely distorted.
Like a big black snake, it filled his field of vision, covering the sky and the sun.
When the big snake in front of him lowered his head and the golden snake eyes stared at him, the cold numbness spread to all parts of Calkin's body. He was short of breath and wanted to open his mouth to scream.
But before he opened his mouth, the big black snake opened its mouth and jumped down.
A foul wind hit his face, his fangs were like mountains, his mouth was like a lake, he was like an ant, a bug.
"don't want!"
Calkin exclaimed, the scene in front of him suddenly changed, and he returned to Herbert's residence again, and the young man was still standing in front of him.
"you……"
"ah!"
Karl King opened his mouth, and a sharp tingling sensation spread from his head to all parts of his body.
An uncontrollable scream came out of his mouth, and the whole person fell to the ground and rolled over.
It took more than ten seconds to stop.
On Kieran's retina, battle information began to flash.
[Gaze of the Dead: The opponent failed the judgment and fell into a phantom of fear...]
[Illusion of Fear: The opponent has fallen into an illusion. If the spirit fails a judgment, it will suffer an impact equal to your spirit attribute level, causing 100 life damage to the opponent, and the opponent will be seriously injured...]
"Sure enough, it is as expected, far stronger than ordinary people!"
Kieran was thinking in his heart, and looked at Calkin.
Because, rolling on the spot, the opponent's clothes were torn, revealing the strong muscles.
When meeting each other for the first time, Qin Ran discovered the difference in each other.
Whether it's the posture when walking or the position when talking, they are all in an appearance that can be attacked at any time, especially the calluses on the palms of the opponent's fingers, palms and backs of the hands, which shows that the opponent is far stronger than the thin and weak appearance.
Whoops, whoops!
Heavy breathing came from Calkin's mouth.
Every breath seemed to be pulled out of his bone marrow, it really pierced into his heart.
And at this moment, the previous voice sounded in his ear again.
"Your Excellency, do you know Hook?"
Raising his head, Calkin looked at the young man with a slight smile in front of him, and was in a daze for a while.
He seemed to see that huge black snake with golden eyes again.
Suddenly, Calkin trembled.
The words that came to his lips changed immediately.
"Recognize, recognize!"
Calkin said tremblingly.
"very good!"
"The three of them confessed that Hooker instructed them to come here to trouble Mr. Herbert. Do you know what to do?"
"I hope you can think clearly before answering me!"
"Everything you have experienced before is just a small part. As long as I am willing, I can make you suffer even more terrifying things!"
Qin Ran took a step forward and said in a low voice.
Although he didn't know what Calkin had experienced in [Phantom of Fear], the state of the other party made Kieran understand what to do.
Simply put, it is bluffing.
And it's clearly useful.
"OK!"
"I know what to do!"
"I will bring him before Your Excellency!"
Calkin gritted his teeth.
"No, not me!"
"It's Mr. Herbert!"
Qin Ran pointed out the mistakes in the other party's words.
"clear!"
After the other party left such a sentence, he immediately boarded the carriage with the support of his subordinates, and left quickly.
Qin Ran looked at the carriage where the other party left, and an inexplicable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He didn't know whether Hook's behavior was pure personal revenge, or was ordered by others, or simply Culkin's order.
But there is one thing he knows.
People are afraid when facing the unknown.
And this fear is enough to make the other party do something.
Whether it's a mess, showing your feet, or after calming down, be careful.
As long as the other party makes a move.
For Qin Ran, it was enough.
"As expected of 2567!"
With such praise, Herbert walked in front of Kieran.
The three young men also looked at Qin Ran with curious eyes.
Among them, the young man in suspenders suddenly slapped his forehead and let out an exclamation.
"2567?"
"Are you the 2567 that hunts giant crocodiles and ghosts?"
The young man asked repeatedly.
"If there is no second 2567..."
"Then it should be me!"
Although he didn't know how the system instilled his 'fame' into the memory of these aborigines, it didn't prevent Kieran from nodding his head in recognition.
"It's really you!"
"Is that giant crocodile really tens of meters long?"
"What do ghosts look like?"
"And how did you do it just now? That guy Calkin doesn't usually look like this!"
After the young man let out another exclamation, he asked questions again and again.
"Coffin!"
Another young man uttered a voice to stop his companion's embarrassing behavior. He turned around and introduced himself to Qin Ran with a suit that fit him well.
"Hello, Your Excellency 2567!"
"I am Harold, this is Joanna, he is Coffin, and we are Mr. Herbert's students!"
Harold in a suit pointed to the girl beside him, before pointing to Coffin who kept asking questions.
However, the words and expressions were full of curiosity.
The same curiosity flashed across Joanna's face.
But compared with Coffin, both of them are somewhat reserved.
"Hello, I'm 2567!"
Qin Ran simply responded to the three young men.
Then, he took a step back and handed the situation to Herbert.
The house was burned down, many books and materials were burned, and the trip was imminent. Qin Ran knew very well that the scholars in front of him needed more people to deal with the matter.
And the other three students are naturally the best candidates.
"Harold, I need some pens and paper!"
"Coffin, you go back to the city and tell Pierre to buy tents first. We will start on the 25th, and there are still nearly three days. I'll go to your house, but many things are most convenient here!"
"Joanna, I need you to help me sort out my notes!"
...
Herbert arranged tasks for the students one by one.
Then, his eyes turned to Qin Ran.
"2567, there is one more thing I need to ask of you!"
Herbert said.
"Say it!"
"I have signed a contract for guarding, and within the scope of my duties, I am willing to serve you!"
Qin Ran smiled.
Because, he smelled the smell of [Side Quest] again.
"Help me screen the guards who come to apply for the job!"
"Peel is busy with his affairs, and my students and I, as you can see, are not suitable candidates!"
Herbert said sincerely.
The moment the other party's voice fell, words appeared one after another on Kieran's retina.
[Submission: Difficult Sheriff! (Finish)】
[Discover side mission: Guard screening! 】
[Guard screening: You have won the trust of Herbert, and he has entrusted you with more things. For this trust, you must be cautious in dealing with those guards who come to apply for the job! Be careful, some of them may have malicious intentions! 】
"Malicious?"
Qin Ran narrowed his eyes.
PS The third update!
I thought I could finish coding before twelve o'clock...
As a result, decadence's handicap's speed, tried his best, but failed to catch up!
Really pit!
This is the third update that I promised everyone yesterday. The decadence is finished as agreed, and I'm going to sleep.
Goodnight everybody!
