Chapter 708 Roadblock

The car was driving on the interstate highway at high speed while Teresa was driving.

Sitting in the back row, Qin Ran carefully examined the letter in his hand.

The envelope is white and a common style, but the letter paper is not ordinary paper, it is high-quality parchment paper, which has a white surface and can be stored for a long time.

A paragraph of text appeared on the paper——

Sincerely,

Sergeant Teresa, sorry to inform you in this way.

Your subordinate, Boskin is in our hands, if you want this young man to continue his life, then please go to Utah State University.

Of course, we need His Excellency 2567 to follow.

Please keep quiet, our methods are far beyond your imagination, far more than just sending letters.

JR

Greven worships in the Year of the Fallen Star

The curly handwriting is round but dexterous.

Of course, the threatening meaning between the lines is extremely obvious.

Qin Ran can be sure that the female sheriff did not receive this letter in a normal way, otherwise, with the other party's temper, she would have brought a full weapon and single-handedly killed the Utah State University instead of going to Okun Manor to find the letter. him, for help.

You know, Oaken Manor is Ann Rutledge Oaken's territory.

Take the sheriff's dislike of Ann Rutledge Oaken.

Unless it is possible to arrest the other party, otherwise, it will not appear in front of the other party at all.

but……

"Graven?"

Qin Ran's eyes once again fell on this term.

When the female sheriff first mentioned this name, Qin Ran felt familiar.

Afterwards, Qin Ran will naturally investigate.

Just like his preliminary judgment.

Greven is an organization on the mysterious side of the dungeon world.

It is not a strict organization like the church, but an organization similar to an association formed by some like-minded people.

It's just that this 'Graven' association is very famous.

In the collection of the owner of Meikaixi and Buzhan Bookstore, there are many books that mention and record the association of "Graven".

Among them, most of them are called "secret associations in Utah State University".

A small number of people will use the title of "mysterious side and science coexist and communicate" to introduce this association.

Obviously, this is an organization different from the traditional mysterious side association.

At least, this was the first time Kieran saw a mysterious side association that would advertise himself.

Of course, there was no difference between the other party's essential purpose of inviting him and other ordinary mysterious people staring at him.

That's right, invite him.

Whether it was detaining Boskin or sending a letter to the sheriff, it was just to let him go to Utah State University.

Because, Dandong Church's influence in Altland City is far greater than imagined.

They had no chance to strike in the city of Altland.

In other words, he didn't have the guts at all!

As for why?

All Kieran could think of was the reward offered by the Council of Elders.

Although Boskin went to investigate Professor Haroldt, one of the victims of the bombing of the Winchester House, Kieran was quite sure that not many people in the 'Greven' association knew about the role of the unknown piece. , but the valuable [Stone of Dean].

People are selfish.

When faced with something precious, the first thought is to keep it for yourself, not to share it.

Just like the owner of Donna's bar, in order to get the [Stone of Dean], the other party not only blew up his bar, but also laid out a plan for him by saying that he was "killed".

In the end, it ended up with death.

If the other party simply abandoned the [Stone of Dean] and announced the news directly, Kieran would probably be the one who died.

Because, those clues hidden in the Winchester House bombing will be grasped by people with the appearance of [Dean's Stone].

Kieran never doubted that there are really smart people in the world.

It's as if he wouldn't doubt the saying 'knowledge is priceless'.

Otherwise, he wouldn't still be ignorant of [Stone of Dean] after reading many mysterious side books.

It must be secret knowledge that is not made public!

In this regard, Qin Ran has nothing to do.

His current status and situation had already limited the means he could use.

However, this trip to Utah State University is an opportunity.

In some of the relics of that Professor Haroldt, it is very likely that there will be information about the [Stone of Dean].

Even if the chance is small, it is better than nothing.

Thinking of this, Qin Ran's mood improved a lot.

He is looking forward to 【Stone of Dean】.

"Is there really a mysterious side?"

After getting into the car, she threw the letter from the 'Greven' association to Qin and then, the female police chief who was focused on driving, suddenly spoke.

There was an indescribable solemnity in his tone.

Qin Ran adjusted his sitting posture and looked at the side face of the female police chief from behind.

Although I can't see the whole picture, but only a small half of the side face is already full of tension and apprehension about the unknown.

"Um."

Qin Ran nodded.

Then, summing up the words in my head,

"It may be strange to say this as a person with amnesia, but I think that in such a large world, after so many years of evolution, it is very normal for some strange and strange things to appear, just like those who have Fighters with inhuman strength, in the eyes of ordinary people, they are almost like monsters."

"Since Teresa, you can accept the existence of fighters, then the mysterious side is a matter of course. After all, their boundaries are not as clear as ordinary people, but very vague. Take one step and you'll see a new world."

Qin Ran tried to speak in a comforting way.

"If no dead body suddenly sat up, raised its hand and inserted it into its stomach, and took out the letter that should have been stained red with blood, but was as clean as new, I think it would have been easier for me to take that step."

said the sheriff.

"That was a really bad experience."

"Sure enough, it needs a special delivery method!"

Qin Ran couldn't help sighing as he imagined that scene.

"so……"

The female sheriff opened her mouth to continue to say something, but the roadblock that appeared in front of her made her shut up, and she parked the car on the side of the road steadily.

Before she or Qin Ran got out of the car to ask, the staff who set up the roadblock ran over.

"Sorry, there is a landslide on the road ahead, you will not be able to pass within a few days!"

The staff in fluorescent uniforms knocked on the car window.

"collapse?"

"This road was renovated half a year ago, right? What a bunch of moths!"

After seeing the collapsed road ahead, the female sheriff couldn't help cursing in a low voice, and then asked, "We want to go to Utah State University. Is there any nearby road to get there?"

"There is a county road that can lead to your goal, but the road is narrow and difficult, so you need to be careful when you choose that place."

After speaking, the staff returned to their posts.

The female sheriff quickly rolled down the window on one side, took out the flashlight in the car, and shone toward the road pointed by the staff member.

Under the beam of the flashlight, a path of potholes appeared in her field of vision.

While the roads are bad, are there any options now?

The female sheriff drove the vehicle and drove onto the path.

Sitting in the back row, Qin Ran looked at the darkness that the headlights could not illuminate, but the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up slightly, revealing a sneer.
