Chapter 420 Persuasion

In the corridor and in front of the window, Kieran looked at the fountain of the Rattle family in the distance.

It was late autumn, the weather was getting colder, and the spring water was no longer gushing out, but the statue of the spring goddess surrounding the water bottle was still beautiful.

The master's carving is enough to make the statue exquisite and perfect.

Kieran stared at the statue.

Rattle's introduction came to mind.

‘Master Heiseger’s rare works left in his youth! '

Kieran didn't know who Heisege was.

But the appreciation of beauty is universal.

From the first moment he saw the statue, Qin Ran thought that the other party must be a great master sculptor, and he hoped that by looking at the statue in front of him, he could give his brain a short rest and ease his tense spirit .

In fact, in the past two weeks, Kieran has always done this.

When he was exhausted from reading or manipulating that disobedient flame, he would take a walk and look at the statues that would distract him.

However, today is obviously not enough.

Harold and Coffin's footsteps were all too distinct.

Especially for Coffin who was still on crutches, the sound of the cane tapping the ground could be clearly heard by ordinary people even if they were far away.

And the direction of the two is coming towards him.

"There are some things that I can't do!"

Qin Ran turned around to look at the two approaching people, and spoke before they spoke.

Qin Ran knew exactly why the two of them were looking for him.

Joanna!

Disfigured Joanna!

As a student of Herbert, compared to Harold and Coffin whose limbs were only broken, Joanna, who was a young girl, was disfigured, which is really an outrageous and regrettable thing.

Herbert persuaded his female student more than once during the two weeks.

But the effect...

Slightly equal to nothing.

From the conversations of the surrounding maids, servants, Harold, Coffin and others, Kieran was very clear about Joanna's current state.

She completely enclosed herself in a room, even her parents didn't want to see her.

Facing Qiongna with this appearance, Qin Ran would not be arrogant and think that he would be more important in the other party's heart than Herbert and the other party's parents.

In fact, in terms of importance, even Harold and Coffin in front of him are not comparable to him.

Therefore, Kieran will never make fun of himself.

"I hope you can help Joanna, I can't think of anyone else who can do this except you!"

Coffin, who was leaning on crutches, looked at Qin Ran pleadingly.

"Yes, you are our last hope!"

Harold begged the same.

Looking at the two students of the old scholar, Qin Ran really wanted to ask where their confidence in him came from.

"If it's a battle, I have the courage to fight even against the most powerful enemy, but...some things are far more powerful than the most powerful enemy, and I am completely helpless!"

Qin Ran sighed and shook his head.

"You also said that you have the courage to fight no matter how powerful the enemy is!"

"Then why don't you try it?"

Harold said again.

"Yeah, you just need to give it a try, even if it doesn't work, who can blame you?"

Coffin repeatedly echoed.

At the same time, a system prompt appeared.

[Discover side mission: Persuasion! 】

[Persuasion: Joanna's state makes everyone very worried. If you can cheer up Joanna, everyone will be grateful! 】

...

Seeing the reminder of the system's side missions, Qin Ran was taken aback.

It was undoubtedly beyond his expectation that there would be a side mission in a persuasion.

However, Qin Ran immediately paid attention to it.

According to his understanding of underground games, since side missions can appear, the difficulty of persuading Joanna this time is extraordinary.

But the side quest has already appeared, and Qin Ran will naturally not refuse it.

"I'll try it!"

After Qin Ran said this, after seeing Harold and Coffin's joy, he immediately added: "But I can't guarantee success!"

...

Joanna's room is located in the left corridor on the second floor of the main building of the Rattle family mansion.

And Qin Ran, Herbert and others are in the corridor on the right.

The entire second floor is almost full of guest rooms.

For Qin Ran, who had lived in the Latte family for two weeks, finding Joanna's room was completely familiar.

Boom boom boom!

Standing in front of the door, Qin Ran summed up his words and knocked on the door.

But no one answered.

Boom boom boom!

"It's me, Joanna!"

Qin Ran knocked on the door again and announced his identity.

But there was still no answer.

Qin Ran frowned and listened attentively.

When he heard strange movements in the room, his expression changed, and he was about to open the door immediately. However, Qin Ran, who immediately thought of something, chose a more gentle way at the last moment: at the Wushuang level [Unlock], and easily opened the door with the [Deceiver's Key].

Almost silently, Kieran entered the room.

After closing the door casually, looking at Qiongna who was hanging on the roof beams with a sheet around his neck, Qin Ran took her off as soon as he raised his hand.

The suffocation left Jonah in a semi-conscious state, but it was not fatal.

After placing the other party on the bed, Qin Ran pulled a chair and sat beside the bed, quietly waiting for the other party to fully wake up.

After a few minutes, Jonah came back to herself.

She saw Qin Ran sitting by the bed at first glance, and then she saw the bed sheet still hanging on the beam.

The other party, who is not stupid, immediately knows what happened.

Then, without a word, Joanna pulled off the quilt and pillow, and buried herself in them.

No questioning, much less hysteria.

But this made Qin Ran feel even more troublesome.

At least, if Qiongna opened her mouth, Kieran would be able to understand her through conversation.

And the silence in front of you?

He needs to take the initiative to break the deadlock.

What kind of words can be used to break the current deadlock is worth thinking about.

Because if one is not good, it will backfire.

After deliberating for a moment, Kieran spoke.

"Death is not the end, maybe it's just another beginning!"

"And, it is likely to be even scarier than when you were alive!"

"If you can, you should be fully prepared to die—at least let yourself have the power to protect yourself!"

"Otherwise, you will only encounter the same tragic things as now!"

Direct, even stern words came out of Kieran's mouth.

In this case, Joanna's wound was completely uncovered in a bloody manner, without any sympathy left.

But at the same time, it was Kieran's deliberation.

The words of comfort and persuasion must have been said by Herbert and others countless times, and if he said it again, it would be nothing more than repeating it.

More importantly, such words are obviously useless.

Otherwise, he would not appear here.

Therefore, Qin Ran thought that he should start from another direction.

Undoubtedly, such words have had an effect.

The pillow flew towards Qin Ran.

At the same time, Joanna's low shout was heard.

"go out!"
