Chapter 1603 The Broken Mirror of Io

"Player?"

"What's the meaning?"

Qin Ran was stunned and asked without knowing why.

"Aren't you a player?"

Xuying was even more stunned, his eyes full of surprise.

"Mary, I don't understand what you're talking about."

"Is it because death has irreversibly damaged your memory?"

Kieran asked with a worried look on his face.

"Not really?"

Xuying stood there blankly, a little at a loss.

"Mary, I don't know what you're talking about, but...it's nice to see you."

Kieran naturally took a step forward and opened his arms to hug the shadow in front of him, but his hands passed through the shadow's body.

"My current state is different from before..."

"I know."

"I'm just confirming one thing."

Xuying explained dryly, but before Xuying could finish speaking, Kieran started laughing.

A calm and distant smile.

It was Kieran's habitual smile.

Such a smile made the shadow in front of him extremely vigilant.

"what did you do to me?"

Xuying asked sharply.

She examined her body.

However, nothing was found.

However, precisely because of this, she became more and more confused.

The unknown is always scary.

Unconsciously, she began to prepare to use her last trump card, but at this moment, Kieran suddenly said seriously: "You are not Mary! Who are you?"

Such questions made Xuying stop his secret movements.

Didn't you just find out that I'm not Mary?

Xuying breathed a sigh of relief.

Of course she is not Mary.

Therefore, she had already prepared a perfect speech.

After all, no one would doubt her in her current state.

"Relax!"

"There is indeed such a difference between the me now and the me before!"

"But I'm really Mary!"

Shadow explained.

"evidence!"

"Mary knows a secret that only the two of us know!"

Kieran frowned, looking suspicious.

"As you said, my current state has caused some irreversible damage to my memory, but my feelings for you have not changed."

"Even now, after seeing you, I am still full of joy and happiness."

"do you know?"

"I never thought that my heart would be so hot one day!"

As the phantom spoke, he got closer to Qin Ran, and even raised his illusory palm to land on Qin Ran's face.

But just when the illusory palm was still a finger away from Kieran's cheek, a ball of demonic flames appeared on the illusory body.

After accumulating power, and with the blessing of [Flaming Brimstone] and Fire Crow, this demonic flame quickly reached level V!

The moment the flames appeared, they turned into a roaring demon head.

The goat's horns, like swords, spiraled upwards, as if they were about to pierce the sky.

And the mouth full of sharp teeth made a burning sound unique to fire, but in the ears of the shadow, this burning sound only became...

laugh at!

Red XX ridicule!

The kind that shows no mercy!

"You, you lied to me!"

At this time, Xuying, who finally reacted, stared at Kieran and shouted loudly.

She wanted to use all her strength to activate her final trump card and kill the man in front of her, but the fifth-level demonic flames were far more powerful than she imagined.

Almost as soon as it appeared, it burned away all the power she had accumulated.

Let her change back to her original appearance——

A statue.

A statue less than 30cm tall.

It is fully armored, holding a sword in one hand and the devil's head in the other.

[Hell Sigh]!

But unlike the [Hell Sigh] in Kieran's memory, his face no longer appeared on the statue, but changed into the face of 'Mary'.

And with the appearance of [Hell Sigh], the sound of breaking stones reached Qin Ran's ears.

In his field of vision, the fourth, fifth, and seventh Mordin statues hidden in the void began to shatter one after another, and the white light appeared again.

"When did you find out?"

[Hell Sigh] asked loudly in the light.

"From the time you made the so-called..."

Kieran carefully concealed the word 'player'.

Different from the previous question, in the narrative tone, Kieran avoided using words such as 'player' and 'huge city' at any time.

"Don't you believe 'Mary' is the player?"

the statue questioned.

Qin Ran remained silent.

It can be regarded as a kind of default.

Judging from the other party's inquiry, Kieran can be sure that [Hell's Sigh] will not be able to learn anything about the outside world after entering the 'huge city' or other copy worlds in his backpack.

Otherwise, it will just become the same as the original 'Devil's Heart', with the will in it simply wiped out.

Then, there is only one possibility left: ‘Mary’ is indeed a player, or a player that [Hell Sigh] has been in contact with or knows.

Based on this inference, Qin Ran came to a series of interesting ideas.

[Hell Sigh] Where does this statue come from?

Make no mistake: Modin carved it.

So, has Modin come into contact with ‘players’?

The answer is yes.

Modin not only had contact with him, but was also very familiar with him.

Therefore, [Hell Sigh] was carved into the opponent's appearance.

According to the laws of living creatures, the first memory of [Hell Sigh] should come from Modin.

In other words, during the Pope period six hundred years ago, there were 'players' who came to this dungeon world and had close contact with Modin.

Even, he was assigned certain tasks by Modin.

For example: Looking for father?

Later, after waiting for the opponent to not return, Modin used the opponent as the prototype of the statue when carving [Hell's Sigh], and also let the statue itself know the so-called 'player'!

However, it's not very clear.

It should be very vague!

or……

The ‘players’ are just Modin’s guesses.

As for how Modin guessed it?

There are too many smart people in the world.

Since Modin can carve a statue with similar power, he must be a person with considerable strength and intelligence.

Maybe it will be deceived in a short time.

But over time?

You can definitely detect flaws.

Kieran didn't know what kind of flaw that 'Mary' left behind, which made Modin focus on the word 'player', but he knew that he was not the first group of players to enter this dungeon world.

Six hundred years ago, or even longer ago, a group of players appeared here.

However, these players should all be dead.

Maybe he died in this copy world.

Maybe he died in another copy world.

According to the rules of the single-player dungeon, Qin Ran roughly judged that only when all the players who entered the dungeon world were 'dead', would the next batch of players appear.

Appearing in different identities and at different time periods later.

And if this guess is correct...

Qin Ran couldn't help but narrowed his eyes slightly.

Some doubts that had been buried in his heart for a long time might be solved.

Why are there always some related and specious legends in different dungeon worlds?

That was caused by 'players' with similar powers entering the dungeon world at different times.

However, these ‘players’ all have ‘legal’ identities.

They are all under the protection of the huge city and have integrated into the copy world perfectly. Even without the protection of the huge city, they still have their own methods to make themselves not stand out.

And this 'unobtrusiveness' is the key point of this sudden incident. The [Hell Sigh] in front of him has spent so much effort, and even forged a 'fake world' that is almost real, just to make him appear' unexpected'!

Fortunately, since arriving here, he has been alert to everything around him.

Even if that [defective Mordin statue] appeared, it would be the same.

[Hell Sigh] In order to make him believe that everything here is related to Modin, he placed the [Defective Statue of Modin] in the secret room of the morgue, and arranged a series of events in a reasonable manner.

But this kind of logic did not make Qin Ran relax his vigilance at all.

Because it's too much of a coincidence.

Especially after discovering that 'Mary' might be the player's identity, Kieran's vigilance reached an unprecedented level.

Not only because he has never encountered such a situation, but also because he is also a 'player' and knows the greed of 'players'.

As long as there are enough interests, it is not surprising to do anything excessive.

Therefore, when the other party asked about his identity, Qin Ran denied it without thinking, and began to test the other party's identity.

Then……

With a perception close to level II and a spirit of level V, the moment he touched the opponent, Qin Ran realized something was wrong.

If there is anyone in the world who is extremely familiar with evil spirits, then Kieran is definitely among the best.

He could clearly sense that the shadow that looked like an evil spirit in front of him was slightly different from the real evil spirit, and where the difference came from: Modin's statue!

It's like understanding evil spirits.

Kieran was even more aware of his trophies.

Even Modin might have forgotten some of the lines on the statue he carved, but Qin Ran remembered them deeply in his mind.

Especially after acquiring the talent of [Memory Palace], Kieran not only has a photographic memory, but also checks it all the time.

He knows his prize too well.

Even though the shadow perfectly integrated the devil's power into the negative energy, in Kieran's 'eyes' it stood out like a black sheep among a group of white sheep.

After confirming that the power hidden in the shadow in front of him came from the statue of Modin, Qin Ran quickly reacted.

However, Qin Ran did not reveal the opponent's secret right away and still cooperated with the opponent's acting.

It was like the real world in front of him, clearly telling Qin Ran that the other party had hidden abilities that he didn't know about.

Therefore, he needs to give the opponent a fatal blow the moment he takes action!

It's like this.

call!

Demonic flames appeared out of thin air again, completely annihilating [Hell's Sigh]. A moment later, [Hell's Sigh], which had been trampled once by Qin Ran, fell into pieces again.

Until death, [Hell Sigh] still doesn’t understand why the person in front of me isn’t even a little curious?

Doesn't he want to know how she created the world in front of him?

In other words, wasn't he curious about how she knew the word 'player'?

He didn't even give her a chance to breathe!

Click!

The shattered [Hell Sigh] was shattered again.

From large rocks to tiny pieces.

Then, the wind blew it into pieces and flew away with the wind.

The white light also drifted in the wind.

Qin Ran reluctantly looked at the prop that exuded emerald green light in the room, and he resisted the urge in his heart to pick it up.

Because he didn't know whether this initial temptation would be a trap.

Qin Ran's figure disappeared in the white light.

But the world in front of me has not disappeared.

but……

But it stopped!

A slender, white palm stretched out from the void and picked up the prop that glowed with emerald green light.

"Isn't it?"

In a low murmur, the palm of his hand was about to retract into the void.

But at this time, an invisible ripple appeared all around.

The ripples contain frightening power.

That power!

It is vast and immeasurable.

The brilliance cannot be looked directly at.

The moment the palm came into contact with this power, it became fleshy and torn. The entire palm shook a few times, and then fell straight down along with the prop.

The prop fell to the ground.

However, the Broken Palm did not fall to the ground.

While it was in mid-air, the invisible ripples wrapped around the palm, completely crushing it and turning it into nothingness.

Moreover, this invisible ripple escaped into the void and pursued it.

Only the prop fell to the ground alone.

Boom, boom!

About a moment later, there was a knock on the door.

The female forensic doctor pushed open the door and entered.

"Teacher? 2567?"

She called their names, but found nothing. Then, naturally, he saw the prop on the ground.

"Whose dagger is this?"

"Is it from 2567?"

The female forensic doctor never thought it belonged to her teacher.

Because, she didn't think her teacher would have such a thing.

And Qin Ran?

Then maybe.

The female forensic doctor picked it up straight away.

She was ready to return it to Kieran.

However, the moment her fingertips touched the dagger, her whole body fell into a trance.

The next moment, the female forensic doctor disappeared.

…

Everything in front of him changed again, Qin Ran looked at the street in his memory.

Behind him, 'Freezer' Fries and 'Bloodman' Odok were still fighting.

At his feet, a tiny translucent bead the size of a peanut was blooming with a dark golden light.

[Name: Broken Mirror of Io]

[Type: sundries]

【quality:? ? ? 】

[Attack power:? ? ? 】

[Defense:? ? ? 】

【Attributes:? ? ? 】

[Special effects: none]

[Requirements: None]

[Whether this copy can be taken out: Yes]

[Note: In another unexpected encounter, Modin obtained the fragment of this mirror from 'player' Mary, and used it as the core to carve the Hell's Sigh - it possesses magical power! 】

…

A lot of question marks told Kieran how extraordinary this prop was.

And when Qin Ran picked up the bead, something happened suddenly!
