Chapter 463 Bargaining
Arrived at the bell Ran was still held by Hei Cha, and she jumped to the top in a few steps. The death knell that could announce death was in the building at the top.
When you look at it from a distance, it looks like a square box, dyed black in the darkness.
Ran Ran couldn't help but think of the urn when she looked at it.
Hei Cha's idea was obviously the same as Ran Ran's. She snorted with disgust.
As soon as she entered the square building, Ran Ran felt something unusual. She must be affected by Armand's power, just like the punishment house that Minister Gao encountered.
Hei Cha also sensed something unusual, and the former killer's vigilance instantly rose. "After the inspection, leave here quickly. Don't stay for long."
Ran Ran nodded, and her clear eyes began to look around.
In fact, it was obvious that the death knell was placed in the center of the building. The reason why Ranran looked around was to figure out its principle.
Because the death knell had no support, it was now floating quietly in the air.
"Strange." Hei Cha looked at Ran Ran, "Even in our world that is eroded by the power of the Terror Cave, such a situation is very rare."
After the chat under the moon, Hei Cha's attitude towards Ran Ran changed subtly. In short, it was not as awkward as before.
Ran Ran could actually guess that Minister Hei Cha would not have a good impression of her because she had made fun of Director Sun without any scruples when she and Hei Cha first met.
Not to mention that later on Minister Black Tea got so angry that he attacked and almost killed her, which only made the impression of her even worse.
Many times, when guilt is not relieved, it turns into another kind of hatred.
She could fully understand Minister Black Tea's awkward attitude before.
Ran Ran blinked, as if she didn't notice Hei Cha's change of attitude, "Indeed."
"Logically, the Flower Eater is the product of the combination of the power of the Terror Cave and something from Blue Star, which means it also comes from the power of the Terror Cave."
Ran Ran stretched out his hand and felt the surroundings of the bell carefully. "Why is the power so different from that of the awakened one?"
Hei Cha frowned, "It's so powerful that it doesn't even seem to come from the same force..."
Ran Ran nodded, agreeing with Hei Cha's words very much, but the next second she frowned, and her hand close to the death knell suddenly sank, and she actually took out a small doll from the inner wall of the death knell.
The eyes are made of small black buttons, there is no nose, and the mouth is simply sewn with two stitches using black thread. The facial features are as simple as if a child had just drawn two strokes with a brush.
The torso is even more crude, with cotton wrapped in cloth to form the doll's torso. It has no limbs, and the huge head directly takes up half of the torso.
Big-headed dolls are the mainstream aesthetic of many cute dolls, and it is difficult to associate them with the word scary.
But the premise of that is cuteness, the doll itself needs to be cute enough, otherwise it will become the effect of the puppet in Ranran's hand, and a big head will only give people a weird feeling.
Hei Cha frowned, "What the hell!"
Ran Ran held the doll, and instead of throwing it away or screaming, she looked at it carefully.
After a moment she confirmed: "The power on this doll is completely different from the power exerted around Deathstroke."
Black Tea: "So this doll shouldn't be here. Someone put it there on purpose?"
Ran Ran laughed at Hei Cha's cuteness, "Even if you can't detect the difference in power, it doesn't seem normal to have a doll stuffed inside a death knell."
Hei Cha's face darkened, "Are you laughing at me now?"
"Don't dare."
For the time being, she didn't know what the doll was used for, but Ranran had a rough guess in her mind. She was about to put the doll back, but the death knell suddenly rang.
Ancient and ancient, the entire building seems to resonate with the death knell.
"Someone died!"
Ran Ran frowned and met Hei Cha's eyes, the tacit understanding between them was self-evident.
When she turned away from Hei Cha's sight, Ran Ran revealed her true emotion - excitement. Death was not a good thing, but it was a good opportunity to verify her guess!
Ranran stuffed the doll back without hesitation, and something unexpected happened to Heicha.
The funeral bell, which was still vibrating and producing residual sound, suddenly stopped vibrating. The entire building seemed to be silent and all the sounds disappeared!
it is as expected!
Compared with Ranran's understanding, Heicha seemed very confused.
"This is the meaning of the Silent Knell. Someone has controlled the knell through this doll, making it unable to make any sound."
After Ranran finished explaining, Heicha still didn't understand the intention of the person behind the scenes.
"He or she wants to lead us into a misunderstanding."
"Misunderstanding?"
Ran Ran nodded, his eyes gradually becoming more serious, "Let us mistakenly believe that the death knell we heard was caused by Tok's death."
"Let's mistakenly link two different points in time together."
"What do you mean?" Hei Cha's face was full of disbelief.
Ran Ran's eyes darkened and darkened. "That's right. When we heard the death knell, Tok was not dead yet."
"The people who want to kill him are on their way..." Ran Ran raised the corners of his lips slightly, "Going on a 'big adventure'."
Suddenly, applause came from the door. Ranran and Heicha were both startled. They looked over and saw Earl Mellis standing there. They didn't know how long he had been standing there.
"Miss Elizabeth's analysis is so brilliant that I can't help but applaud. I'm very sorry if I disturbed you two."
Ran Ran was sweating profusely on her forehead. Her original methods in the Terror Cave were all ineffective. The two abilities granted by the Terror Cave were both of very low levels. It was fine that she didn't notice Mellis's arrival, but why did Minister Black Tea also...
Heicha had no idea what Ranran was thinking. He just protected her behind him and looked at the person who came with a cold look in his eyes.
Melris seemed to understand the meaning of Ranran's eyes and actually smiled.
"Miss Elizabeth, you asked Minister Black Tea to be aware of my arrival, but this really puts her in a difficult position."
Hei Cha was no longer able to care about anything else and was only surprised that this person actually knew her identity!
Melris said calmly: "Even if Minister Gao is replaced, I'm afraid he won't be able to do it."
The coldness in Heicha's eyes deepened, and Ranran smiled at the right time, as a way of comforting Heicha not to lose his composure.
"Count Mellis, by chance, I also happen to know your identity."
Mellis immediately looked at Ran Ran with interest, "Really? Miss Elizabeth, please share your insights."
Ran Ran calmly hid the doll behind him, "Before that, can I bargain?"
Melris was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, "You are really an interesting person."
“I like interesting people.”
"In fact, I meet a lot of people every day, but they are all the same. Suddenly meeting someone so different like you is really refreshing."
"For the sake of this novelty, I will give you the right to bargain."
Melris suddenly became serious. There was no expression on his face when he was serious, and he looked much more terrifying than his smiling face before.
"I'll tell you who you are, and you answer me a small question."
Mellis thought about it and frowned, "Strictly speaking, this is a reasonable exchange, not a bargain, but if you are willing..."
"of course can."
Ranran's eyes lit up. This Mellis was unexpectedly reasonable and even felt that she was at a disadvantage.
Just because she said it was a small problem doesn't mean it really is a small problem.
