The night wind blows candlelight.

As the flames swayed, the light and darkness were uncertain, and even the face in front of Qin Ran became bright and dark.

The face in front of me was covered with scars, and it seemed like it was pieced together, and I could not see my original appearance at all.

The only scar that streaked from the right forehead across the center of the eyebrows to the corner of the left mouth was extremely clear.

This face was dull between the open door, and his dull eyes stared straight at Qin Ran, which was particularly cunning.

Coupled with the scars, it looks even more ferocious and makes people feel cold in their hearts.

Qin Ran looked at the face up and down, and then pushed the door straight into.

And that face quickly penetrated into the darkness as Qin Ran pushed the door open, disappearing in his breath.

Bang!

The candle fell on the floor and went straight out.

The location of the corridor in front of the entire room was completely covered by darkness.

But in the living room, there were waves of whispers.

The sound was vague, and even Qin Ran, who felt that C-, could not hear clearly what he was saying.

However, as Qin Ran lit the candle in his hand, the whisper disappeared, as if he was afraid of the light.

Huh! Huh!

However, a series of breathing sounds filled the entire room.

Then, without waiting for Qin Ran to take a step closer, several yellow-green ghost fires appeared in front of him. These ghost fires were erratic and passed through Qin Ran quickly.

But Qin Ran seemed to turn a blind eye, holding a candle and walking towards the living room.

The living room in front of me is not big, with only a few sofas and a heater made of a fireplace. Qin Ran chose one of them and sat down, putting the candle in his hand at his feet.

Next, silence.

Apart from the "crackling" sound when the candle burns, there is no sound.

After more than ten minutes, a voice full of compromise sounded from the side of the corridor.

"Okay, okay!"

"I admit you won!"

While speaking, a girl dressed in ordinary clothes and beautiful face but with cunning eyes walked into the living room with a candlestick.

Immediately, the light filled the living room.

The other party directly chose a sofa next to Qin Ran and sat in it, then looked at Qin Ran with curious eyes.

"Aren't you afraid?"

The other party asked.

"Scared, why should you be afraid?"

"Because of that mask?"

"Or smearing the balloons flying with white scales?"

"Or it was the recorder you hid in the imitation fireplace?"

Qin Ran turned his head and looked at the girl in front of him and said word by word.

"You actually saw through it all?"

"Sure enough, I am worthy of being one of my competitors!"

"Meet, I'm Ellie Jones!"

The other party was stunned, and then immediately stretched out his hand with great enthusiasm to shake hands with Qin Ran.

However, Qin Ran had no intention of raising his hand.

He looked at the other person's palm, slender, white and tender, with slender fingers. He had a ring on his index finger, which was under the candlelight. The inside of the ring was flashing with a different luster.

Something moist.

“Is super glue on it?”

Qin Ran asked.

"What an Octavian observation!"

Ellie Jones was not embarrassed or nervous when he was discovered, but showed a youthful and energetic smile, looking at Qin Ran with a more detailed look than before.

It seems that he wants to see through Qin Ran.

Qin Ran didn't care about the other party's observation, stood up straight, and began to inspect the entire building according to the original plan.

The entire building is divided into two upper and lower floors, and is connected by a staircase on the side of the living room.

The first floor has a corridor, living room, kitchen, study and a door leading to the back garden.

Qin Ran twisted the handle of the door and was completely rusted.

Walking up the second floor, there are a master bedroom and three vice bedrooms, as well as a terrace.

The door of the terrace can be opened, and standing on the terrace, you can see everything in the back garden. It is a small back garden with only one flower bed and a dozen flower pots. The plants inside have already withered after lacking people to take care of them. In addition, they are also surrounded by iron fences, like a death row cage, without vitality.

However, an entrance that should be the basement appeared in Qin Ran's eyes.

Near the side of the main building. If you didn't climb up to the terrace or look outside the room, you wouldn't find it at all.

Qin Ran turned around and walked down the second floor and headed towards the basement entrance.

At this time, Ellie Jones, who had been following Qin Ran, couldn't help but say.

“There is nothing there!”

"Neither the message that 'spiritor' Nikaile left us!"

"There are no other competitors!"

"I still don't understand what that test is, do you know?"

Ellie Jones said while looking at Qin Ran in confusion, hoping to get an answer.

Of course, Qin Ran knew what this test was.

Before, he had discovered some important clues.

However, Qin Ran would not tell Ally Jones.

You know, this is the key to whether he can become the assistant of Nikailei in the 'Psychic'.

If becoming the assistant of Nikailei in the 'Psychic' has nothing to do with the main mission, Qin Ran would naturally not pay attention to it like this, but once it concerns the punishment for failure of the main mission, Qin Ran would not be able to ignore it.

Moreover, Qin Ran would not completely believe Ellie Jones, who is also a competitor.

Therefore, Qin Ran kept walking to the entrance of the basement, opened the door leaning on the wall of the main building, and a downward ladder appeared in front of Qin Ran.

Qin Ran walked down with alertness by holding up the candlelight.

On the one hand, beware of the dangers that may occur in the basement.

On the other hand, I am wary of Ellie Jones.

However, until Qin Ran completely went down into the basement, Ellie Jones did not make any abnormal moves.

And the basement was as the other party said, nothing unusual.

It was empty, neither the door leading to the main building nor anything was placed.

"You should choose to trust others!"

When Qin Ran returned to the ground, Ellie Jones said.

"Um!"

Qin Ran nodded without comment, but his eyes flashed past Ellie Jones.

Such rude behavior made Ellie Jones frown, but immediately, she heard a knock on the door.

"There is a newcomer!"

Ellie Jones said, a prank smile appeared on her face, and then she quickly ran towards the door that entered the main building.

However, soon, a painful cry appeared in Ellie Jones' mouth.

When Qin Ran came over, he had already seen Ellie Jones kneeling on the ground by a middle-aged man twisting his arm.

Ellie Jones also saw Qin Ran and subconsciously called for help.

But the words came to her mouth. Ellie Jones suddenly realized that she didn't know Qin Ran's name yet, but the pain on her arm reminded Ellie Jones that she had to call for help.

Otherwise, her arm would be broken.

Just as Ellie Jones was about to speak directly, the pain in her arm suddenly disappeared, and the man who twisted her arm was already rushing towards Qin Ran.

But the man froze in place the next moment.
