The Devil’s Cage Chapter 13: Competitors
The night wind blew the candlelight.
The flames swayed, the light was dim, and even the face in front of Kieran became bright and dark.
The face in front of me was covered with scars, criss-crossed, like a patchwork, completely unable to see the original appearance.
The only scar from the right forehead to the corner of the left mouth is very clear.
This face is sluggish between the open doors, the bleak both eyes, so staring straight at Kieran, especially infiltration.
In addition to those scars, it is even more daunting and makes heart chill.
The Kieran looked up and down at this face, and then pushed the door straight in.
And that face followed Kieran's door push, quickly plunging into the darkness, disappearing in his breath.
Pap!
The candle fell on the floor and went out directly.
The location of the hallway in front of the room is completely covered by darkness.
But in the living room, there were whispers of whispers.
The voice is ambiguous, and even the Kieran with Intuition reaching C- can’t hear clearly what is being said.
However, as Kieran lit the candle in his hand, the whisper of whispering disappeared, as if fearing the light.
Hoo! call!
However, a series of breathing sounds filled the room.
Then, without waiting for Kieran to take a step closer, several yellow-green ghost fires appeared in front of him. These ghost fires flickered and passed quickly in front of Kieran.
But Kieran seemed to turn a blind eye, holding a candle and walking towards the living room.
The living room in front of me is not large. It consists of only a few sofas and a fireplace that imitates a fireplace. Kieran chose one of the sofas and sat down, with the candle in his hand at his feet.
Next is silence.
Apart from the "crackling" sound made when the candle burned, there was no sound.
After more than ten minutes, there was a word of compromise. Sounded from the side of the corridor.
"Okay, okay!"
"I admit you won!"
Speaking room. A well-dressed girl with a nice face, but both eyes full of cunning girl walked into the living room holding a candlestick.
At once, the light flooded the living room.
The other party chose a sofa next to Kieran and sat in it. Then, looked at Kieran with curious eyes.
"Are you afraid?"
The other party asked.
"Afraid. Why should you be afraid?"
"Because of that mask?"
"Or are the balloons flying with white scales?"
"Or the recorder you hid in the imitation fireplace?"
Kieran turned her head to look at the girl in front of her and said word by word.
"Are you all seen through?"
"Sure enough, it is indeed one of my competitors!"
"Meet me. I am Ellie Jones!"
The other party was startled, then. Immediately, he extended his hand happily and wanted to shake hands with Kieran.
However, Kieran has no intention of raising his hand.
He looked at each other’s palms. Slender white and tender, slender fingers. There is a ring on the index finger, under the candlelight, inside the ring. Shining differently.
Somewhat moist.
"Is it super glue?"
Kieran asked.
"What a keen observation!"
Ellie Jones didn’t find the embarrassment and embarrassment of being discovered, but showed a smile full of youthful vitality, and looked at Kieran with much more detailed eyes than before.
It seems that I want to see through Kieran.
And Kieran didn't care about the other party's observation, stood up straight, and started to inspect the whole building according to the original plan.
The whole building is divided into two floors, which are connected by a staircase on the side of the living room.
first floor has a hallway, living room, kitchen, study and a door leading to the back garden.
Kieran twisted the door handle a bit, completely rusty.
On the second floor, there is a master bedroom and three secondary bedrooms, as well as a terrace.
The door of the terrace can be opened, while standing on the terrace, you can see everything in the back garden. It is a small back garden. There is only a flower bed and a dozen flower pots. After the treatment, it had already withered, and together with the iron fence, it was like a death cage, and there was no life.
However, a basement entrance should appear in the eyes of Kieran.
Near the side of the main building, if you don’t climb the terrace or look outside the room, you won’t find it.
Kieran turned and walked down the second floor and walked towards the basement entrance.
And at this time, I couldn't help talking to Ellie Jones behind Kieran.
"There is nothing there!"
"There is no information left by that person’Shaman’Nikorei!"
"There are no other competitors!"
"I still don’t understand what the test is, do you know?"
Ellie Jones looked at Kieran with doubts while speaking, hoping to get an answer.
Kieran certainly knows what this test is.
Before, he has discovered some important clues.
However, Kieran will not inform Ellie Jones.
You know, this is the key to whether he can become an assistant of ‘Shaman’Nikorei.
If you become an ‘Shaman’ Nikorei assistant and have nothing to do with Main Quest, Kieran will naturally not pay such attention, but once it is related to the punishment of Main Quest failure, Kieran should not be ignored.
Moreover, for the Ellie Jones which is also a competitor, Kieran will not fully believe it.
Therefore, Kieran kept walking to the entrance of the basement, opened the door leaning against the wall of the main building, and a downward ladder appeared in front of Kieran.
Hold the candlelight Kieran and walk down with vigilance.
On the one hand, be alert to the dangers that may occur in the basement.
On the other hand, be alert to Ellie Jones.
However, until Kieran completely descends into the basement, Ellie Jones has no unusual behavior.
And the basement, as the other party said, is no exception.
Empty, there is neither a door to the main building nor anything.
"You should choose to trust others!"
When Kieran returned to the ground, Ellie Jones said so.
"Uh!"
Kieran nodded recklessly, but glanced at Ellie Jones.
This rude behavior makes Ellie Jones frown, though. Immediately. She heard a knock on the door.
"There is rookie here!"
Ellie Jones said, a mischievous smile appeared on his face, and then quickly ran towards the door of the main building.
However. Soon, a cry came out of Ellie Jones's mouth.
When Kieran came over. It has been seen that Ellie Jones was kneeled down on the ground by a middle-aged man twisting his arms.
Ellie Jones also saw Kieran, and subconsciously called for help.
But when it came to my lips, Ellie Jones suddenly found out. She didn't even know the name of Kieran, but the pain in her arm. But reminded Ellie Jones she must call for help.
Otherwise, her arm will be broken.
Just as Ellie Jones was about to speak directly, the pain in her arm suddenly disappeared. The man who twisted her arm rushed towards Kieran.
But the man was in place at the next moment stiff.
A silver revolver appeared in Kieran's hand, pointing straight at him.
"Who are you?"
Kieran asked.
"Di Leqi. Received the invitation letter of "Shaman"Nikorei and come here!"
"I didn’t mean to attack this lady, she showed evil intent first!"
In the face of the firearm, the other person raised his hands very cooperatively and said.
"I call that a prank!"
Ellie Jones rubbed his still-painful arm. Glared at Di Leqi.
"That is also evil intent!"
Dilech emphasized.
Then, he looked at Kieran.
Diloche in a dress was extremely uncomfortable because he held his hands high and the shoulders and neckline pulled him, but he dared not put his hands down because he could not guarantee that the Kieran would not shoot.
The hair that stood up instantly when pointed at by the Kieran gun made him understand that Kieran is not easy to mess with.
Fortunately, the next moment, Kieran put away the gun.
This made Di Leqi relieved.
"You also received the invitation letter of "Shaman" Nikorei and came here?"
Diloche asked.
"We are your competitors!"
"Relax, with us, you cannot be an assistant to ‘Shaman’ Nikorei!”
Ellie Jones said angrily.
Also, Kieran was pulled into his Faction, and he began to be fooled.
"This is not necessary!"
"I am very good at special situations!"
Middle-aged Di Leqi glanced at Kieran, but then said confidently.
"Complacency will cause failure!"
Ellie Jones mocked.
"The same is true if you don't control yourself!"
Di Leqi laughed.
And Kieran was not interested in listening to the mutual mocking of the two. His eyes turned to the iron gate, and a figure walked in from the open iron gate.
The whole body is wrapped in a trench coat, and under the black top hat is a face wrapped in layers of bandages.
Only both eyes, nostrils and mouth are exposed.
As soon as the other party appeared, they attracted Ellie Jones and Di Leqi's attention.
"Sorry, I suffered a serious fire, so it looks like this!"
"I received the invitation letter of ‘Shaman’Nikorei!”
"You guys?"
The hoarse, dry voice is friendly.
"We are the same!"
Ellie Jones said, looking at the fourth competitor with a curious look.
"Raul, you can call me like this!"
The other person introduces himself.
Next, it was another mutual introduction. Under the curiosity of Ellie Jones, Kieran said the name of ‘2567’.
In the face of such a pseudonym, including Ellie Jones, no one expressed surprise.
This is normal for people who are exposed to special events.
Simply put, their respective introductions may also be pseudonyms.
It's just that no "alternative" like Kieran is seen through at a glance.
The four returned to the building, Kieran returned to the living room and chose the previous sofa to sit down.
Diloche and Raul repeat the actions of Kieran again.
It is the same even if Ellie Jones repeats what it said to Kieran before~IndoMTL.com~ This makes Ellie Jones very annoying.
"Damn it!"
"Don’t you all learn how to trust others?"
The annoyed Ellie Jones said angrily.
And at this time--
Ah!
A rapid scream came from the building.
Next came the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground.
A knock on the door sounded at the same time as the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.
Boom, boom!
