Chapter 9 Malice
When Qin Ran took over the talisman, item information appeared on his retina-
[Name: Woven amulet]
[Type: Armor]
[Quality: Normal]
[Attribute: When a ghost-like creature appears within a five-meter radius of you, it will give you a warning!] 】
[Special Effect: None]
[Can I bring out this copy: Yes]
[Note: It is made of snake mist grass picked by the master of dexterous hands and pure hearts at sunrise, and it reminds you of the approach of creatures that do not belong to the world, but please remember that it is only reminding you, and cannot help you resist it!] 】
……
What's the scariest thing about ghost creatures?
It is nothing more than invisible, invisible to the naked eye.
If you can see it, in the case that flames and electricity can cause damage to the other party, ordinary ghosts are not terrible in Qin Ran's eyes.
And although the [Woven Talisman] in front of him was nothing more than for him to do this, it was enough for Qin Ran to have a reminder.
After all, compared to others, Qin Ran had an expert-level [tracking]!
You can already faintly perceive a special presence! ’
After elevating [Tracking] to Expert level, this phrase appears in the latest notes.
What is a 'special being'?
If Qin Ran was not sure before entering this multi-person dungeon, he was completely sure at this time.
It is a disembodied existence such as ghosts and spirits.
However, the 'vague' mentioned in the remarks made Qin Ran understand that there was still a limit to the expert-level [tracking].
However, with the addition of [Woven Amulet], this limit will be greatly reduced.
At least on the premise of being reminded, Qin Ran's chances of being able to detect those invisible existences had greatly increased.
Must get this equipment!
Such a thought rose in Qin Ran's heart.
Because, since such a monster appeared in the fourth multiplayer dungeon, there must be one in the subsequent dungeons, and before it is uncertain whether better equipment can be found, the [woven amulet] in front of him is a must-have equipment for Qin Ran.
"Can you resell this amulet to me?"
"I can make a high price!"
"I can feel the power on it that can help me!"
Qin Ran looked up at Captain Raul and did not hide his thoughts.
In the same way, there will be no subordinate means.
There is not only disdain, but also the principles that Qin Ran adheres to.
So, he offered to buy.
"What?"
Captain Raul was stunned, he didn't expect Qin Ran to make such a request.
Unconsciously, a look of hesitation appeared on Raul's face.
Although Raul has enough awe for Qin Ran and his party, this does not mean that he will sell his family heirloom talisman to the other party for no reason.
And just when Captain Raul hesitated, a red gem the size of a little fingertip had already appeared in Qin Ran's hand.
It is also a treasure accumulated by the Dawn Church for thousands of years.
However, it is not a [gem] that can be set in it, it is just an ordinary gemstone.
It accounted for the vast majority of Qin Ran's last harvest.
And in this copy, Qin Ran brought a part of it as a need.
After all, the copies he had experienced, the most ordinary gems, were also very valuable.
There is no guarantee that the money will not be used at the time.
It's like right now—
Raul, the captain who was originally hesitant, disappeared in an instant when he saw this ruby that shining brightly in the sun.
He is reluctant to give up his amulet and is in awe of special things, but he is still a businessman at heart!
Otherwise, it would not be the only local who transports food and medicine for Alcatel Prison.
"It's my honor to be able to help Your Excellency Qin Ran!"
Captain Raul replied with a smile.
Qin Ran also smiled, and with a flick of his fingers, the ruby landed in the pocket of Raul's jacket accurately.
Looking at such a scene, Captain Raul's smile once again had a little more awe.
Although the distance between the two was only forty or fifty centimeters because of the conversation, the flick of a finger could make the object in his hand fall exactly at a certain point, without touching other places, Captain Raul had not seen it, but he had heard of it—through the occasional small talk with the prison guards on Alcatel Island, there was a guy in the prison on that island who could do something similar.
And before he was arrested and imprisoned, that guy was a famous thief and prison escapee.
The reason why he was imprisoned in Alcatel Prison for such a 'misdemeanor' as stealing is because the other party is so capable of escaping that no prison can hold the other party.
Except for Alcatel!
The thought that any one of the six had the means of the thief, and that he had no means of dealing with 'special things', Captain Raul was in awe in his heart in addition to awe.
Of course, Qin Ran wouldn't know these things that Captain Raul was thinking in his heart.
However, Qin Ran was in a good mood.
It was a great deal to be able to get a piece of equipment that would be extremely useful to him at such a price.
If you put it between players, you can get at least 3 or 5,000 points, and maybe you have to take 1 or 2 skill points.
Qin Ran immediately hung the [Woven Talisman] around his neck.
Of course, Qin Ran also had more speculations about the appearance of the [Woven Amulet].
Coincidental? Or is it a foreshadowing?
Qin Ran couldn't know more, but that didn't stop Qin Ran from continuing to chat with Captain Raul.
As a local, Captain Raul was too familiar with Alcatel, coupled with his deliberate currying favor, Qin Ran could already be said to be familiar with Alcatel when the ferry was about to arrive at the pier of Alcatel Prison.
Just as Captain Raul walked into the wheelhouse to take over his first mate and bring the ferry closer to the dock, Lawless, Zhang Wei and Steinbeck walked out with their two bodyguards.
"Sure enough, I was lucky!"
"Equip can be obtained from the beginning of the dungeon!"
"Here, let me shake hands and get some luck!"
Lawless held out his hand with a cigar in his mouth.
However, Qin Ran rolled his eyes and ignored it.
And the rest of the people, including Lawless, didn't ask Qin Ran what he had gained.
This is also a temporary team formation rule.
"Alcatel's situation is roughly understood!"
"It used to be a land of legends, but now it's a prison because of the government!"
"The Island of Killings and Prisoners...... When you think about it, you feel like it's greasy on it! ”
"Especially the baron who rose from the dead!"
"Maybe it's the trouble we're going to solve!"
"And the successors and bishops who appeared after are also suspicious!"
Lawlessness summed up as the captain.
Although the others except Qin Ran did not walk out of the captain's room, the conversation between Qin Ran and Captain Raul outside the door did not have the slightest intention of lowering their voices, which naturally could not be concealed from a few people with keen perception, and Captain Raul's narration of Alcatel was heard by several people clearly.
"What do we do next?"
Steinbeck asked.
Qin Ran could clearly see that the face of this noble son with an extraordinary background seemed to be ...... It's a little whiter again.
It can't really be cowardly, right?
Qin Ran muttered in his heart.
"One step at a time, of course!"
"We haven't even seen the person who hired us!"
Lawless said with a smile.
This is very reasonable, and no one in the crowd refutes it, they all wait quietly.
"Excellencies, it's landed!"
With the shouts of Captain Raul, the ferry docked at the pier steadily, and after Qin Ran and his party were invited down first, Captain Raul instructed the sailors to carry the supplies.
And Qin Ran and his entourage met the person who received them.
The reason why it was a reception, not a hire, was because of the cold face of the person in front of him.
The other party is about the same age as Captain Raul.
However, he was much more appropriately dressed, wearing a black suit, clean and shiny leather shoes, a neatly repaired brown beard on his chin, and the same brown hair, while the dark gray eyes and unsmiling face showed the stern rigidity of the other party.
When the other party spoke, such a stern stereotype came to his face.
"I'm the deputy warden of Alcatel Prison: Swalk!"
"I don't know where I found you in prison!"
"But I want you to understand that this is not the place for you to do whatever you want, and it's best to follow the rules for me!"
With a brief introduction and a strong warning, the deputy warden waved to a prison guard who had been waiting for a long time.
"They're in your hands for the next week!"
With that, the deputy warden turned around and strode out of the dock.
"Tsk, what a domineering person!"
Lawless said in a loud voice.
"Deputy Warden Swalker is just a little anxious about what's happened lately!"
"Usually, people are still good!"
"Gentlemen, I'm Prison Guard Jack. Ben, everyone just call me Jack! ”
The named prison guard walked over, in his thirties, with an ordinary face and a kind expression.
However, the tone became stern.
"In the coming week, I will cooperate with your investigation!"
"Of course, because of the special nature of Alcatel, I want you to explain it to me before the investigation, and then I will explain it to Deputy Warden Swalker - this is for everyone's safety, believe me, this is not a joke!"
"Please remember!"
Prison guard Jack emphasized again.
"Okay, got it!"
Qin Ran smiled and nodded.
The lawlessness and Zhang Wei on the side were silent, allowing Qin Ran to come forward to teach the other party, and Steinbeck even took his two bodyguards as if they didn't exist at all, and handed everything over to the 'mercenaries'.
Obviously, the lawlessness of my art of speaking is completely incomprehensible to the aborigines! This is not a lie.
And Zhang Wei acquiesced in Qin Ran's previous victory, of course, this was only temporary.
"Everyone, please come with me!"
Qin Ran's cooperative expression made the prison guard smile again, and immediately walked in front to lead the way.
The journey from the pier to the prison is not long, about 300 meters.
The flatness of the patch provided a good line of sight for the guards on the outer wall of the prison.
The same is true inside prisons.
Qin Ran and his entourage, who passed through the gate, faced a large and wide playground, and the main building of the prison was in the middle of the playground, firmly enclosed by the outer wall.
There were more than twenty heavily armed guards patrolling the fence.
Qin Ran even saw two light machine guns that had been erected.
Well defended!
Anyone who sees it will rise up with such a thought.
The main building of the prison is a three-story building with a large footprint.
There is no main entrance, only the east and west side doors.
On the west side, there is also a team of heavily armed prison guards, and the building does not have any windows or anything on the outside, but is painted gray with cement.
On the east side it is much better, not only with the windows, but also with several windows with flower pots.
Jack walked into the east side with Qin Ran and his entourage.
"This is the prison's administrative center, video surveillance center, prison doctor's infirmary, prison guards' dormitories, and warehouses and other comprehensive buildings!"
"This is the room where you will be staying for the coming week - right next door to the video surveillance center!"
"I'm usually in the video surveillance center, you can find me for anything!"
"If you have three meals, you can go to the prison guard's cafeteria!"
"However, today is your first day in Alcatel, and the warden has instructed the chef to prepare a hearty lunch for you all – and I'm lucky enough to be able to taste it together!"
Jack introduced them one by one, and at the end, the prison guard, who looked like he was in his thirties, showed an expectant smile.
And this lunch is enough to live up to Jack's expectations.
A moment later, in the room of Qin Ran and his entourage, a round table was full of food.
Baked snails, oxtail consommé, grilled lamb chops and fish, whole roast chicken and a basket of bread, and a bottle of wine and drink.
"Welcome to Alcatel – it's not a good word, but I don't have anything else to say about it!"
Prison guard Jack stood up with a wine glass and welcomed Qin Ran and his party as the master.
Qin Ran and the others also raised their glasses.
However, Qin Ran drank drinks, and Zhang Wei, No. 1, and No. 2 were all the same.
Only Lawless, Steinbeck served red wine.
Qin Ran brought the cup of the drink to his mouth, and the sweet orange flavor was filled with a unique fragrance and a hint of sweetness.
And when he smelled that trace of sweetness, Qin Ran's mind instantly appeared with the skill [Medicine. Pharmaceutical knowledge] brings knowledge about the poison part.
"Don't drink it, it's poisonous!"
Qin Ran shouted hurriedly.
