Chapter 278 The Clown

From dignified to smiling.

The rapid change in Qin Ran's expression surprised Simmons who was on the side.

"2567?"

"Are you OK?"

The potion master asked hastily.

At the same time, he took out the [Needing Potion] that he carried with him.

"No, it's just a little funny to suddenly think that I was frightened by the name of the dead shepherd!"

Qin Ran refused with a smile.

he said.

"The shepherds, at their peak, might be as famous as the five major associations! But that was at their peak, after experiencing the fate of being destroyed by Lei 30 years ago, even if they have accumulated for 30 years, at most they have recovered a little vitality That's all, otherwise, I wouldn't have waited until Lei disappeared to show up!"

"Or...Lei and the five major associations have disappeared. With such a good opportunity, the other party did not annex other mysterious side forces with great fanfare. They just sent me an invitation letter. What does it mean?"

Qin Ran looked at Simmons.

"Guilty?"

Simmons guessed.

"That's right, it's a guilty conscience!"

"The current shepherds are not sure to take down the mysterious side that no longer has Lei and the five major associations in one fell swoop, so they need to be the first to win!"

"And I, the guy predicted by Lei, became their best target."

Qin Ran nodded.

"But a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. 2567 When you face the herders of the dead, you must be careful, especially when they use the abilities of the dead!"

Simmons exhorted.

"Do not worry!"

"I take my life very seriously."

"Lei, how did you disappear?"

"What happened?"

Qin Ran restrained his smile and asked seriously.

This is the doubt he had when he saw the background introduction of [Psychic Partner II].

"'that'!"

"Don't ask me what 'that' is, I really don't know - Lei didn't tell me more things, because she knows very well that a person with insufficient strength knows too many things, which is not a good thing!"

"So, apart from knowing that Lei and the five major associations disappeared because of 'that', I don't know much more than you and Jones!"

"If it wasn't for me..."

Before he finished speaking, Simmons sighed with a wry smile.

Kieran could see more melancholy in the Potion Master's wry smile.

It was a sense of powerlessness.

More because of remorse?

Obviously, Simmons has more to tell.

However, the potion master didn't want to go on.

Kieran never underestimated the people who gathered around Nikailei.

Don't force the other person to say something they don't want to say.

So, he ended the topic.

"Can you help me find out about the Blood Queen's Crown and the Phantos manuscript?"

Qin Ran returned the topic to the list he got from the Cursing Word Society.

"No problem, leave it to me!"

Simmons complied.

After that, the two chatted about some things.

Of course, most of them were Simmons talking and Kieran listening.

At around one o'clock in the morning, the two ended their conversation, and after saying good night to each other, Qin Ran went upstairs and returned to his room.

All the previous gains have been moved into his room.

Qin Ran turned on the desk lamp, and prepared to read carefully the books related to 'occultism' that he had collected this time.

As for rest?

Qin Ran planned to postpone it for another hour or two.

This was because he had to explore the Sunshine Mary after dawn, otherwise, Qin Ran didn't mind reading all night.

Qin Ran first glanced through a few books related to 'occultism' he got from 'Flame Dog', and shook his head in disappointment.

He has read most of these books.

And nearly half of the books he got from the Curse Club were those he had read in Lei's study.

Fortunately, there is still a small half of which he has not seen.

Enough for him to flip through.

However, when Qin Ran picked up a book called "Stars and Destiny" and just opened the cover, he had to put down the book.

In his ears, the sound of footsteps lingering back and forth in front of his door.

Not a stranger.

It's Ally Jones.

Putting down the book in his hand, Qin Ran stood up and opened the door.

"ah!"

"You, you haven't slept yet?"

"I'm going to sleep!"

Such a sudden opening of the door startled Jones who was outside the door. The other party took two steps back again and again, his face was flustered and unnatural, and his tone was even slightly stuttering.

Moreover, without waiting for Qin Ran to reply, he rushed back to his room and closed the door heavily.

boom!

The sound of closing the door made Qin Ran startled.

He glanced at Jones' room and could clearly hear the other party's screams.

Judging from the height of the voice, Kieran can be sure that the voice was remembered through the quilt.

Otherwise, it should be louder.

But Qin Ran didn't understand why Jones did this.

Even if he accurately judged Jones' behavior.

"What happened?"

With doubts, Qin Ran closed the door.

After a while, Qin Ran was completely immersed in the book "Stars and Destiny".

Because, this is exactly the book he needs.

To be precise, it is a necessary book for getting started with [Astrology].

It wasn't available on Lei's bookshelf.

This is not to say that Lei's collection of books is not as good as that of the Cursing Society, but that Lei's collection of books is too high-end. Without any foundation, Qin Ran can't understand those lonely books, even if he can read the characters. Meaning, but when connected, none of them knew each other.

The Curse Words Society's collection of books just made up for this lack of foundation.

For Qin Ran, this was really a surprise.

And Qin Ran, who was completely immersed in it, naturally ignored Jones' strange behavior, even if the other party opened the door again and lingered in front of his door.

"It's really youthful!"

In the library on the first floor, Simmons, who was also flipping through the books to find the source of the Blood Queen's crown and Fantos's manuscript, sighed like this.

...

In the early morning, when Qin Ran was having breakfast, Shi Qi arrived as scheduled with the "Mysterious Daily" in his hand.

"Simmons, get me an egg sandwich and milk too!"

Shi Qi said without politeness.

"OK!"

Simmons responded with a smile.

"Because of Boyle, I often come here for dinner."

"Boyle...hope that guy is okay!"

Seeing Qin Ran's questioning gaze, Shi Qi explained, but when he talked about his partner, his expression was full of worry, but Shi Qi immediately adjusted himself.

"Look at what our mysterious daily says?"

"Ha, it's exactly as I expected!"

""Where the crows chase, there must be death", "The black death bird strikes", "The ominous bird reigns on the west coast"... What an appropriate name!"

Shi Qi made a high-pitched voice, waving the newspaper, like a kid selling newspapers on the street, gesturing several large pages to Qin Ran.

Qin Ran silently picked up the milkshake, white pepper and a large amount of salt and poured them on Shi Qi's fried egg sandwich.

"Please don't waste food!"

The two finished the fried egg sandwiches in their hands and drank the whole glass of milk in one go. Qin Ran began to urge Shi Qi, and when the other party ate the added sandwiches and had no time to drink the milk in the glass, he quickly He picked up the other party and walked towards the door.

"I shouldn't be back at noon."

"Just help me prepare dinner."

While speaking, Kieran walked out of the door where workers were already repairing, threw Shi Qi into the passenger seat of the car, and started the car.

"You did it on purpose, right?"

Shi Qi glared at Qin Ran in the car.

"Aren't you?"

Qin Ran asked back.

"Alright alright!"

"I admit that I was wrong. I just want to see the embarrassment of 'Suicide Bird' watching his own news!"

Shi Qi raised his hands.

"If you don't say what you said later, the apology is kind of sincere!"

Qin Ran sneered several times.

"I just told a fact!"

"Stop the car, I need water!"

Shi Qi said again and again.

"Please repent of your mistakes while your taste buds cry!"

While talking, Qin Ran stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, not giving Shi Qi a chance to get out of the car at all.

The whole car, in such a fast driving, quickly arrived at the destination: the golden beach.

Golden sands, a tourist attraction on the west coast.

Every summer, it attracts tourists from all over the world.

Sunshine, sand, sea and beautiful women in bikinis are heaven for most men.

Unfortunately, it is already winter.

The cold wind, blowing from the extreme north, wrapped in the humid sea breeze, really pierced the bone marrow.

Especially the dozen or so extra policemen, all in uniform, made the atmosphere here even more chilling.

After getting out of the car, Shi Qi raised his collar and wrapped his coat tightly.

Qin Ran ignored the cold wind and looked at the Sunshine Mary in the distance.

The height of twenty meters is too conspicuous.

The mottled rust does not make it lose its original luxury, on the contrary, it gives it a different charm, making it look like a famous nobleman who has experienced time.

Standing on the beach, it looks like a steel castle, which makes people awe-inspiring.

only……

On the beach below it, the man standing there, even in a suit and leather shoes, has a frivolous feeling, but it destroys this overall feeling.

The age of the other party is at least thirty years old.

Her hair was combed all over her head with pomade, and as soon as the morning sun shone, it immediately reflected a dazzling light.

His face was full of pits and pits, and there were pustules-like sores in some places.

The other party's voice was even worse, like a drake.

"I told you, blast this place!"

"Use more dynamite!"

The other party was yelling at a policeman guarding the place.

Then, the other party saw Qin Ran and Shi Qi.

After looking at Qin Ran, he shouted at Shi Qi.

"Layman, hurry up and let your men continue to bury the explosives, hurry up!"

"If it weren't for your slow speed, I, the special adviser invited by your chief, would have truly completed this small task!"

The other party's unpleasant voice made Qin Ran frown.

However, more reason is the content of the other party's words.

special counsel?

If I remember correctly, this title should belong to Lei, right?

Qin Ran looked at Shi Qi suspiciously.

"yes……"

"You are the 'crow', 'the bird of death' and 'the ominous bird' 2567?"

"Is it normal?"

"However, I happen to lack an assistant by my side..."

The other party interrupted Shi Qi's words, and spoke to Qin Ran on his own.

Qin Ran's complexion couldn't help but darken.

PS third update~

I stayed up late again to finish coding the third update...

The handicapped party couldn't afford to be hurt, and went to sleep in a decadent...
