Demon’s Cage

Chapter 9 Sneaking

[Name: T1 Body Armor]

[Type: Protection]

[Quality: Normal]

[DEF: 1. Normal defense for bullets. 2. Weak defense for cold weapons.]

[Attribute: None]

[Special Effect: None]

[Bring this effect out of this instance: Yes]

[Note: This is a police body armor. You still can’t ignore the pain of bullets even if you are wearing it.]

As he picked up the body armor, the introduction about the [T1 Body Armor] appeared in front of Qin Ran. He quickly glanced over, then he put it on without hesitation.

Comparing with his jacket, which didn’t have the slightest defense, the body armor was no doubt a lot better.

It could be both used to withstand bullets, and to defend against melee attacks.

Even if the latter defense was weak, Qin Ran had more confidence to complete his plan.

Qin Ran quietly approached his second target.

The second mobster didn’t find out about his companion’s death yet, although they were close to each other.

Just like the mobster Qin Ran killed previously, he was just searching around casually, oblivious to the upcoming danger.

Instead of laying in ambush, Qin Ran approached him quietly from behind.

When he was only two steps away, he jumped forward and covered the mobster’s mouth so that he couldn’t say a word. Then Qin Ran’s dagger slit his throat.

In fact, Qin Ran’s hands acted as though he was an practiced killer.

When the mob wanted to call for help and even wanted to bite Qin Ran’s left hand, Qin’s right hand had already cut his throat.

Blood flowed and, after a moment, he stopped moving.

[Vital attack: the opponent lost 100 health points.]

The same as before.

Qin then dragged the body into the ruins, before looting the equipment.

However, he didn’t take the body armor. He only took away the [M1905] which was full of bullets.

He didn’t mind wearing two body armors if he could.

Unfortunately, just wearing one made him felt clunky. If he wore one more, his agility might be affected.

The immediate situation would never allow Qin Ran to slow down, because it would only make Qin Ran a sitting duck in front of the mobsters’ guns.

Even a highly defensive sitting duck would ultimately become Swiss cheese!

“Let’s move on!” Qin Ran said. Then he kept sneaking in the ruins.

After he walked for about ten meters, Qin Ran hid into the shadows and slightly peeked out to scout his third target.

Unlike the first two mobsters who walked within the ruins, the third target was standing one meter above the ruins made of rubble and rotten wood. Qin Ran somehow didn’t know where to start.

Because if its height, if Qin Ran approached from the front, he would be found even with some ruins blocking the vision.

Qin Ran was still not confident enough to ignore his opponents, even if he just killed two of them easily.

After all, the firearms were definitely not just decorations.

What about circ.u.mventing from the back?

Qin then looked the objective’s irregular surroundings, and had to give up the idea.

He did not want to be found when he was only half way so Qin made the decision.

Although he still had a M1905 and plenty of bullets, he didn’t want to use a firearm too early.

Not just because the objective was wearing a bulletproof vest, and his shooting skill was not enough to hit the vital points, but also because once he started shooting, his position would be exposed!

Now he still had five targets to eliminate. Even if he made a plan with Colleen in advance, he didn’t want a two to five fight.

“At least I have to get rid of two more of them!” With this in mind, Qin Ran began taking a long detour. If he wanted to get behind this third target, he would need to go the long way around. He first went back to where he killed his first objective, then he began circling around.

Ten minutes later, he was behind the armed thugs.

Relying on good vision, Qin Ran could see the locations of his last five targets. He soon discovered the third mobster.

The gunman was located, from Qin Ran’s perspective, at the left.

At least two gunmen before were still b.u.mbling around, yet the third objective simply lit a cigarette and started smoking in a corner.

His leisure appearance made himself the next target.

Qin Ran cautiously got closer to him.

While the other was completely focused on his cigarette, Qin Ran didn’t lose his caution, because he knew that there was one thing called ‘an accident’ in this world. He wanted to avoid any small accidents from occurring. There was no way other than to be more cautious.

When Qin Ran was less than two meters from his target, yet the other side still did not find Qin Ran. Suddenly, he saw a dagger thrusting towards him, but obviously it was too late.

Regardless of the cigarette burning, his mouth was covered and killed.

[Burning: you lost 1 health point]

[Vital attack: the opponent lost 100 health points.]

[Approaching your targets for three times without being found: you get the skill: Sneaking]

[Name: Sneaking(Basic)]

[Related attribute: Agility]

[Skill Type: Support]

[Effect: You are able to make use of the shadows so that you are not to be discovered. Increase 10% hiding skills]

[Consumption: Health]

[Pre-requisite: Agility F]

[Note: You know how to hide, but you are not invisible.]

While the target fell to the ground, the system gave him comprehension skills.

Suddenly, a slew of knowledge emerged in Qin Ran’s mind.

He was already familiar with this process after experiencing it twice already.

After a moment, the knowledge transfer was completed. Qin Ran’s body would be able to apply the knowledge he had just acquired.

“Three?”

While searching the body, Qin Ran was viewing the system prompt.

Just like [Dagger(Basic)] after three times, the figure ‘three’ attracted Qin Ran’s attention.

“In the rookie episode, triggering the conditions three times would result in the corresponding skills?” Qin Ran guessed.

But soon, Qin Ran stopped thinking.

He remembered what he had to do at the moment, rather than staying here thinking about this. Later on he would have plenty of time!

But now?

Qin then look to the remaining four mobsters. The [Sneaking] knowledge again surfaced in his mind.

He silently walked into the shadow, along with the shadow of the moon and the ruins, he came closer to his next target.

Before Qin Ran’s speed was close to the rate of crawling, but this time, it had evolved into a normal walking speed.

Moreover, he was more hidden, and there was no sound.

As if he was the best street thief at night.

Or …… an a.s.sa.s.sin.

The fourth!

The fifth!

Two gunmen stood in front of Qin Ran, who had just obtained the skill [Sneaking(Basic)]. They had a lot more vigilance than the three earlier, but the result remains unchanged: Qin cut off their throats from behind!

At this moment, the wolf Hooker noticed that something wasn’t going right.

Seven companions were searching in the ruins. If he couldn’t see one or two of them, it would be normal. However, he couldn’t see most of them right now. Even an idiot would notice something was wrong.

Hooker was definitely not an idiot, or he wouldn’t have become the Vulture’s right hand man.

However, his arrogance made him no different from an idiot.

Even…more stupid than an idiot!

He looked around. When he couldn’t see more people, he started yelling: “Tony! Jack! Phillips…What are you guys doing? Come here right now!”

He yelled and tightly held onto his gun.

There was no answer. Suddenly, the surrounding ruins that Hooker was previously familiar with became eerie and unsettling.

The shadow created by the moon light and the ruins were like devils staring, which made the Wolf sweat and nervous.

When the wind blew, the Wolf Hooker couldn’t help sneezing.

“Hooker’s head!”

The sudden voice stunned Hooker. When he noticed that it was his companion, he was immediately annoyed.

“You…!”

Bang!

Before he finished talking, a gunshot fired.

The third objective that Qin Ran avoided on purpose earlier fell to the ground.

However, he didn’t die because of his body armor.

In contrast, as he fell, he immediately turned around and started shooting toward the direction where the gun shot started.

And Hooker, who witnessed the whole process started shooting crazily toward the gunfire.

Bang bang bang!

At the moment, there came a stream of gunfire.
