Harvest Inn's back alley.
Rachel had a cigarette in her mouth, squatting down without a care for her image. She was looking at J.Pearlman, who was tossed on the ground by Kieran, allowing Derder to inspect him.
A faint white glow with a dash of green came out from Derder's hand and enveloped J.Pearlman.
Lawless crossed his arms and watched the scene unfold.
He was standing beside his friend, looking at the process that was going to last for a while, so he asked his friend softly.
"Based on your description, the Fisherman is possessed?"
Lawless emphasized the word 'possessed'.
It was the explanation Kieran found when he introduced Kieran to Kieran.
Kieran was smart enough not to mention anything about the Fisherman's personality. When he introduced Derder, he clearly stated that Derder was a doctor, but he also pointed out that Derder was here because of J.Pearlman's case.
As for the real purpose?
Kieran would never tell Lawless.
In order to achieve his goal, Kieran had to attract Lawless' attention.
"Something like that.
I'm not sure what it is exactly.
But one thing I am sure of is that the J.Pearlman guy is quite arrogant and a little smart. He might have gotten in touch with some information channels in the big city, but he didn't go deeper than that. Therefore, he should have a certain amount of influence, but it's not powerful enough.
Kieran answered.
Kieran wouldn't hide anything from Lawless most of the time.
"Can you explain it to me in detail?
I still don't know what's going on.
You know, other than cleaning the floor, I've been wiping tables and windows. I feel like I've cleaned everything I need to clean in the next 10 years. "
Lawless purposely lowered his voice when he said the last sentence.
However, Kieran clearly heard Rachel's cold laughter that sounded even softer.
It was obvious that if it wasn't for letting Lawless get to know Derder, his friend would still be cleaning the floor.
Of course, after a while, the cleaning would continue.
The deadline would be extended indefinitely.
With a hint of pity in his eyes, Kieran began to explain.
"He set up a trap to kill my follower, but after he was exposed by my follower, he didn't admit defeat. He just said that it was a mistake, and next time, he will make me beg for death."
"And he knows that I have a certain level of curse dispelling ability. It should be because of the curse dispeller incident, but that's all he knows. He doesn't know what happened next, so he'll think that it was all part of my plan."
"At least, that's what he thought, and that's what he planned."
"Therefore, he is very conceited and thinks that he is the smartest one."
Kieran defined Bloody Mary as a follower.
Finding a follower in a dungeon world wasn't easy, but it wasn't too difficult either.
A good follower was a great help, especially for a lone ranger.
Therefore, lone wolves didn't mind having followers.
Of course, most people chose to travel alone.
After all, good followers were hard to come by.
Lawless nodded in understanding. He then continued, "I can guess powerful, but what about having a certain level of influence in the big city?"
If one wasn't powerful enough, they wouldn't even know about the Freedom Alliance or the Guardians.
Lawless knew this very well since he was a Higher Ranker.
If it wasn't for Rachel mentioning it from time to time, he wouldn't even know about it until now.
However, he didn't understand why his friend was so sure that Bloody Mary had a certain level of influence.
"Those people on the train, did you forget about them?"
Kieran asked.
"When you mentioned that part, I guess they had just put down the mop."
Lawless shrugged helplessly. He then quickly asked, "What should we do now? Follow the vines to the melon, find those bastards, and go all out? "
Her words had the excitement of escaping the shackles.
Kieran saw the cigarette in Rachel's mouth suddenly burn up, and a big part of it burned backwards.
After another moment of silence for his friend, Kieran shook his head.
"It's useless.
Those bastards won't know anything.
That bastard might be arrogant, but his arrogance is built on his own intelligence. Do you think a smart bastard would leave behind so many flaws?
Even if he thinks so. "
Kieran said.
"Then are we just going to watch?"
Lawless asked anxiously.
He was eager to leave Harvest Inn for a while. Now, whenever he saw a bucket, a mop, or a rag, his heart would skip a beat, and his body would break out in cold sweat.
Kieran didn't say anything, pointing at Derder.
He needed Derder to come up with a more accurate judgment before he would make a move.
Although Kieran stopped Derder at the first moment, Derder vanished right away, allowing J.Pearlman to faint on the ground.
Derder thought he had a life-saving trump card in his hand.
Kieran didn't mind Derder thinking so.
At least it would buy him more time.
Subtly, Kieran exchanged gazes with Rachel, and the latter nodded subtly.
"How is it?"
Kieran walked over to Derder.
"I'm sure J.Pearlman is here, but I can't sense that bastard."
Derder shook his head, pretending to be weak.
In order to make it look real, he even panted heavily.
"Mm.
Leave the rest to me. "
Kieran grabbed J.Pearlman and walked deeper into the back alley.
Lawless wanted to follow, but he was held back by Rachel.
“？”
Lawless looked at Rachel with a puzzled expression.
"It's none of your business.
Go back and mop the floor. "
Old Lady said calmly.
"I …"
"Huh?
Okay! "
Lawless wanted to retort, but Rachel glared at him and he quickly turned around and returned to the inn.
After making sure Lawless had left, Rachel looked at Derder.
"How is it?"
"Terrible.
"It's worse than I expected."
Derder replied.
"Really bad news.
But you used this chance to truly get in touch with that bastard, so it's a good start.
What's your plan for the next step of treatment? "
Rachel took a puff of her cigarette and blew out a smoke ring.
"I'll try my best to be Lawless's friend."
Derder answered honestly.
"Easy.
Lawless's character flaw is very obvious. "
Said Rachel as she looked deeper into the alley. It was shrouded in supernatural darkness.
"Is that place okay?"
Derder felt uncomfortable when he heard the faint gulping of saliva, so he asked out of instinct.
"Trust 2567.
Moreover, he's just a bastard that can be taken care of along the way. "
Then, Rachel turned around and walked towards the Harvest Inn. Derder glanced at the darkness once more and quickly followed.
Although he was curious about what happened, he didn't think asking around would be good news.
Maybe 2567 was rearing some wild beast?
