The Devil’s Cage

Chapter 676 Other Decisions

The afternoon sun is much warmer than that at noon.

The bright light shines on the world, making people drowsy after dinner.

St. Read's Hospital was even more peaceful.

People are enjoying the nap time in this rare tranquility.

After searching carefully in the hospital, Qin Ran finally stood in front of the [Sister Rhett's statue] again, his face sinking like water.

Gannett and others who once deceived him have long since disappeared.

Even the name 'Gannett' he knew was fake.

Gannett is indeed the head monk of the "Marylin" church, and a monk worthy of people's respect. However, this head monk is the last leader of "Marylin".

As Boskin said, it was destroyed during the Hundred Years War.

All that remains is the [Sister Rhett Statue] protected by the 'Holy Legacy'.

"Amnesia...is really convenient!"

Qin Ran smiled self-deprecatingly.

Obviously, the other party took advantage of his 'amnesia' to dare to carry out such absurd deception.

Anyone who understands the 'mysterious side' will not be fooled.

After all, in the mysterious side, such things are not a secret.

At least, many of the books Kieran read before have mentioned such things.

Of course, the most important thing is because of the protection of [Sister Rhett's statue] by the Holy Relic, and I would like to mention the Church of Marilyn by the way.

Qin Ran looked straight at the benevolent statue in front of him.

In addition to this statue, the current protector comes to mind: 'Holy Relic'!

If it wasn't for the protection of the 'Holy Legacy Society', the statue would have long since disappeared, and how could it have stayed here.

'Holy Legacy', as the name suggests, is an alliance of churches with the prefix 'Holy'.

In its heyday, there were more than 200 affiliated churches. However, following the open and secret struggle with the "Elder Council" during the Hundred Years' War, there are now less than 40 churches left.

But it still has a status no less than that of the "elder council" in the dungeon world in front of it.

Even more than that in some places.

Because, the leaders of the 'Holy Legacy' are not lunatics.

"Would that fake 'Gannett' be from the Relic?"

It was completely subconscious, Qin Ran thought.

But he couldn't be sure about this guess.

Because, up to now, Qin Ran is not sure what the other party wants to do when he contacts him?

Accompanying the "One of the Twenty Hounds" of the "Elder Council" to act?

To fool him, the 'amnesiac'?

Nobody can be this boring.

There must be interests in it that he doesn't understand.

But the other party came and went without a trace, leaving no valuable clues behind.

"wrong!"

"There are clues left!"

Qin Ran frowned.

He took out the paper from his trouser pocket again.

It read: Donna's Bar, Mackasy and Budhan's Bookstore, Simmy's Candy House.

Among them, he has already 'learned' the bookstores of Mei Kaixi and Buzhan.

The bookstore owner is a fool who was blinded by the bounty of the Council of Elders.

There are two left, what will it be?

Qin Ran didn't know.

But he knew that if he wanted to find out why the other party wanted to contact him, he had to go to the remaining two places.

Because, there may be clues of existence there.

But in this way, he must fall into the arrangement of the other party.

When he took the note with three place names on it, the other party was already secretly planning something that he didn't know about.

And, waiting for him to jump into it.

"Yangmou?"

Qin Ran took a deep breath.

He doesn't like to do things under the 'manipulation' of the other party.

So, he made other decisions.

...

Oaken Manor looks more shocking during the day than at night.

Regardless of architectural style or architectural scale.

It's different from last night's dive.

This time Qin Ran paid a visit in an aboveboard manner.

Just as Qin Ran got out of the taxi, the bodyguards of the Oaken Manor, which he had seen through the surveillance camera in advance, appeared outside the gate.

"Mr. 2567?"

Even though Qin Ran's identity had been confirmed, the leading bodyguard still asked out of caution.

Qin Ran had nothing to hide, so he simply nodded.

"Please follow me!"

The bodyguard turned sideways and bent over to signal.

The bronze fence gate slowly opened, and Kieran once again set foot in the Oaken Manor.

A slightly heavy welcome car stopped in front of Qin Ran.

The lead bodyguard acted as the driver, leading Kieran to the main building of the Oaken Manor.

"Please!"

The leader of the bodyguards opened the car door and bent down again to signal.

Qin Ran, who had already looked at the Oaken Manor, didn't stop any longer, and went straight in through the door.

Ann Rutledge Okun, who was wearing a white dress, looked at Qin Ran with a smile.

"Although we only parted in the morning, I still have a kind of joy to see you again."

Ann Rutledge Oaken said.

Judging from the expression, it is difficult to tell whether it is true or not.

Qin Ran didn't make a careful distinction.

He knows what he's here for

Similarly, Kieran was quite sure, and Ann Rutledge Okun knew it too.

After all, the relationship between the two parties has not reached the level where they can drop by at will.

"Is it the joy of harvest?"

Qin Ran asked.

"That depends on what you bring me!"

Ann Rutledge Okun said, and walked to the second floor.

The hall is obviously not the place to talk about things.

The study is.

Following Ann Rutledge Okun, Kieran once again felt that blade-like gaze. Following the gaze, he saw the fighter named 'Meyer'.

The other party stood under a pillar in the hall.

Not hidden in the shadows, but many people ignore his existence.

If it wasn't for Kieran's perception of S+, it would be difficult to detect the other party.

"Some kind of alternative stealth ability?"

Qin Ran guessed.

"Meyer is quite interested in you in 2567, and he hopes to have a friendly discussion with you—should it be a discussion?"

"The dialogue between you fighters is really troublesome. It is obvious that fighting has to be replaced by other words."

Ann Rutledge Okun seemed to be talking unintentionally.

"You know, such a temptation is useless, haven't you investigated my current state?"

Kieran replied without a trace, which made Ann Rutledge Okun chuckle.

"amnesia?"

"Stop joking, no matter how well you conceal it, I won't believe it!"

Ann Rutledge Oaken said with conviction.

"Trust me, you'll believe it in no time!"

As Qin Ran said that, he took out the note.
