"Curse of the Ancestral Wolf: 76 Days Remaining"

━━━━━━━━━━

Kingdom of Wester, territory of Lord Green Lizard, Mel Town.

The young man Jiang Ran, who had returned victoriously, had just returned to the hotel where he was staying in the "vest" of the Frost Armor Knight Stan.

After entering the room, he performed a routine security check, and then began the highlight of the night: using the power of the super-dimensional divine eye to foresee the future of death.

Previously, because Jiang Ran only had one universal stone on hand, he could only use this trump card ability when necessary. But now, with the universal stone, he has a total of three energy points. So what reason is there not to foresee future risks first?

As Jiang Ran used the ability of "foreseeing the future of death", the experience value of the Super-Dimensional Divine Eye automatically increased by one point (3+1/8), and then, the scene of the next death appeared in front of Jiang Ran as usual.

·

Date of death: September 187, 9

Time of death: 4:18 a.m.

Death screen content:

In the horizontally composed picture, Jiang Ran died again without any suspense.

This time, the place of his death was very clear, right in the hotel where he was at the moment.

In the picture, the hotel building was violently demolished into pieces and had become a ruin. Jiang Ran was lying on his back in the ruins, his hands and feet were tied up with metal chains wrapped with black snakes, and then a long sword pierced through the center of his chest and stabbed straight into the ground.

Judging from the injuries on Jiang Ran's body, the sword that pierced his chest was undoubtedly a fatal wound, but there were many other wounds on his body, which showed that he was killed after a fierce battle, and was not killed by a sneak attack.

Not far from Jiang Ran, there was another person's body lying. Jiang Ran was really surprised by the identity of this person, because this person was actually the cat-man girl, the "Liutang Master" of the secret intelligence organization "Zhaoye Liuque": Shiiki Ruri.

Judging from the way Shiiki Ruri died, Jiang Ran didn't think he killed her. After ruling out this possibility, in this future death scene, Shiiki Ruri is very likely to be on the same side as Jiang Ran.

So, who killed Jiang Ran and Shiki Ruri?

Jiang Ran continued to look from the center of the picture to the outside, and then he saw a tall and thin man wearing a gray-green cloak and a pointed hood on his head.

The man stood high up in the ruins, looking down at the dead Jiang Ran and Shiiki Ruri, making it impossible for Jiang Ran to see their appearance from the screen.

However, if Jiang Ran's judgment was correct, the long sword that killed him was most likely made by this man.

Another thing that caught Jiang Ran's attention was that in the gap of the cloak behind this tall and thin man, a pair of drooping wings were hidden in a low-key manner. Could this be some kind of special magical equipment?

No, judging from the natural connection between the wings and the body, Jiang Ran suspected that the wings were part of the body of this tall and thin man. In other words, this man should be a winged man among the subhuman race, a guy who can fly.

(Wait, have I seen this guy somewhere...?)

The more Jiang Ran observed carefully, the more familiar he felt that the tall and thin man's figure was. Then, he remembered that this guy was the "Head Master Zhaoye Liuque" who suddenly visited the Cat Girl Restaurant that day?

(Dove-winged man Tetodaf?!)

All the details were immediately connected together, and all of Jiang Ran's previous speculations suddenly became reasonable!

However, a problem immediately arose. Jiang Ran was puzzled. Why did the head of the "Zhu Ye Liu Que" come to kill him and Shiiki Liuli? What was the connection between them?

Did the head master of "Zhaoye Liuque" come here to kill Jiang Ran, or was his purpose just to kill Shiiki Liuli, and then Jiang Ran was dragged into the incident by his own will?

(The death occurred at 4 a.m.... and took place in the hotel where I was staying... From these two points of view, it felt more like it was directed at me.)

Jiang Ran analyzed the situation rationally and calmly, and then came to a temporary conclusion.

According to this conclusion, the person implicated should be Shiiki Ruri, but why would she risk her life for Jiang Ran, a stranger?

(Stupid Loli: Is there any need to ask? It must be you, a scumbag, who has done something wrong again.)

The stupid loli's complaint hit the nail on the head, and even Jiang Ran himself felt that this was the only possibility.

However, Jiang Ran was still confused, because when he was "foreseeing the future of death", he had no thoughts about Shiiki Ruri in his mind. If he had to say, he only regarded Shiiki Ruri as the key to "obtaining information about "Teruya Ryujaku"".

(Could it be that, just with this kind of thinking, the story will eventually develop into a love story?)

Jiang Ran couldn't help but sigh. He really didn't want to conquer Shiiki Ruri this time, so how come he ended up making things worse?

Let’s get back to the topic. After seeing the information on the screen here, although Jiang Ran got a lot of information, in return, he also had more problems.

Regardless of what kind of entanglement happened between him and Shiiki Ruri in this future of death, Jiang Ran has yet to find out why the headmaster of "Zhu Ye Liuque" wanted to kill him.

In addition, there is another point that Jiang Ran is very concerned about. According to the information he identified when he saw the chief hall master last time, the Jiuyiren Tetodaf should be "only" level 6, level 270. Even if Jiang Ran uses Shiki Ruri as a threat, it is impossible for him to die at his hands.

And judging from the intensity of the battle in the picture, Jiang Ran was not unable to display his full strength because he was ambushed.

So, how did Jiang Ran lose the battle?

·

(The more I think about it, the stranger it gets...)

(According to my current battle strategy, there's no way my true form would appear in front of the enemy. How did this guy force me out from the shadows?)

(Could it be that he's using Shiiki Ruri as a hostage? No... I'm not the type to do something stupid for a woman, especially since I've only known Shiiki Ruri for a short time.)

Just as Jiang Ran was thinking intensely, the stupid loli caught the flaw and immediately jumped out to complain.

(Stupid Loli: Hahahahahahaha! I'm dying of laughter, Jiang Yan! Haven't you done enough stupid things for women? Why don't you count how many women are chasing after you right now?)

It has to be said that the stupid loli's complaint was well-founded, but it was also for this reason that Jiang Ran decided to ignore her, lest this girl become arrogant and difficult to deal with.

Ignore it and let it play. This is the best way to deal with a chattering idiot like stupid Loli.

Right now, Jiang Ran has something more important to concentrate on, and that is to "find the other enemy hidden in the future death scene."

9.176 - Strategic Planning

The reason why Jiang Ran thought that there was more than one person who killed him this time was because he had seen the identification information of "Dove-winged Man Tetodaf" before.

It's not that Jiang Ran is arrogant, but the chief hall master of "Zhaoye Liuque" is "only" level 6, level 270. Even if Jiang Ran can't defeat him, he shouldn't die at his hands.

With this logic as the underlying basis, Jiang Ran gradually discovered some clues suggesting the existence of the "second enemy".

·

First of all, there were the metal chains that bound the "future Jiang Ran". Judging from the black snakes wrapped around the chains, Jiang Ran felt that these things did not seem to belong to the head master of Zhaoye Liuque.

Secondly, there were various corpse fragments scattered in the ruins of the hotel. After careful observation, Jiang Ran found that these fragments seemed to be related to snakes. They were either snake skins or snake scales, and there were also half of snake bodies, which looked quite weird.

If these remains were linked to the winged man Tetodaf, and it was said that this winged man was good at controlling snakes to fight, it would be a bit far-fetched. However, if the "perverted monster" that Jiang Ran knew was taken into consideration at this time, everything seemed to make sense.

However, this possibility is not good news for Jiang Ran.

(No way… didn’t Grandma Rabbit say that the ‘old monster’ was dormant? How come he woke up so soon?)

[Note: The psychological basis for the above sentence can be found in chapter "9.126 - Letter from an Unknown Person"]

Jiang Ran's heart sank when he thought that the second enemy might be that guy.

·

·

After thinking about it, Jiang Ran thought of the old monster named "Blood-sucking Serpent Orlosk".

The bloodthirsty snake Orlosk is not only a madman who is good at controlling snakes, but also the top fighting force of the "Snake Shadow Society". He is both crazy and powerful.

Jiang Ran hadn't fought with him many times, but every time was still fresh in his memory, and every time was fraught with danger.

It is no exaggeration to say that from the first time they fought until now, the Bloodthirsty Snake can be considered an "old acquaintance" of Jiang Ran. If he had a choice, he really didn't want to fight this guy again.

When Jiang Ran first identified the information about the blood-sucking snake, he already felt that this guy was ridiculously strong. Now that this old monster has completed its molting and hibernation, its strength must have reached a new level, making it even more difficult to deal with.

(But... why would Bloodthirsty Snake team up with the head master of Zhaoye Liuque?)

Before thinking about how to fight the blood-sucking snake, a question that concerned Jiang Ran even more suddenly popped up.

In Jiang Ran's opinion, the possibility of the Bloodthirsty Serpent cooperating with the Dove-Winged Man Tetodaf is very small. Is the result in this future death scene just a coincidence, or is there another reason?

·

Recalling the Bloodthirsty Serpent's almost insane behavior, Jiang Ran really didn't think that this guy could cooperate harmoniously with the Dove-Winged Man Tetodaf if they just met by chance.

Jiang Ran thought that a more reasonable speculation should be that the head of Zhaoye Liuque took the initiative to seek cooperation with the Bloodthirsty Snake, and the Bloodthirsty Snake also wanted to kill Jiang Ran, so this scene in the future death scene occurred.

(No...wait...)

(That's not right. The one Bloodthirsty Serpent wanted to kill was 'Banning', and the head of Teruya Ryujaku shouldn't know the relationship between 'Frost Knight Stan' and 'Banning'...?)

(How did these two get connected?)

Thinking of this, Jiang Ran became even more confused.

In this seemingly simple future death scene, there are actually so many difficult-to-solve doubts hidden.

However, even if these doubts cannot be solved for the time being, it does not affect Jiang Ran's key conclusion, which is:

Before heading to the secluded place of the "Dark Rabbit Clan", Jiang Ran must find a way to eliminate the threats posed by Zhaoye Liuque and the Bloodthirsty Snake.

·

Different from his hesitant reactions after seeing the future death scenes several times before, Jiang Ran made a firm decision this time. He must deal with "Dove-winged Man·Tetodaf" and "Blood-sucking Serpent·Orosk" before proceeding to the next step.

The reason why he was so decisive was that these two guys had a common special nature.

"Jiuyiren Tetodaf" is the current headmaster of the secret intelligence organization "Zhaoye Liuque". His intelligence gathering ability is absolutely top-tier in the Prison Star World.

『Bloodthirsty Serpent Orlosk』 is the top fighter of the 『Snake Shadow Society』. The 『Snake Shadow Society』he belongs to is definitely not inferior to 『Zhu Ye Liu Que』 in terms of intelligence network.

With these two top intelligence organizations backing these two people, Jiang Ran can't hide forever even if he can hide for a while. In this case, he might as well take the initiative while the situation is still under control.

Jiang Ran never wanted to go back to the life where he was watched by the demons in heaven and on earth at all times.

If Jiang Ran wants to fight, he must make good use of these ten days to prepare. Whether he can transform the current "intelligence advantage" into a combat advantage within ten days will be the key to whether Jiang Ran can win the battle.

·

(First… I’m going to become cold and indifferent and not get involved in Shiiki Ruri’s affairs…)

(Secondly, these two guys' strategy is to launch a sneak attack in the middle of the night, so I need to be prepared...)

(...)

(Finally, temporarily change your mindset and be prepared to "run away if you can't win"...)

Jiang Ran "brainwashed" himself one by one according to his new ideas, because only by changing his ideas would the scenes that appeared in "Predicting the Future of Death" change.

After the brainwashing was completed, Jiang Ran extravagantly activated the ability of "foreseeing future death" again, and used up some energy points in less than half an hour!

[Super-Dimensional Divine Eye Experience Points: 4+1/8]

·

In the past, Jiang Ran would never have done such an extravagant thing, but now it is different. Confession points will no longer be a scarce commodity for him. He only needs to keep one universal rough stone just in case.

Now, since Jiang Ran had changed the idea in his mind just now, the "future scene of death" he saw this time was indeed different!

Date of death: September 187, 9

Time of death: 1:38 am

Death screen content:

It seems that on a small path in the mountains outside the town of Mel, under the moonlight, Jiang Ran's limbs were tied up with metal chains wrapped with black snakes, making him unable to move. Then, he was pierced through the heart from behind by the Dove-Winged Man Tetodaf with a sword, and died.

━━━━━━━━━━

(Stupid Loli: Huh? How come I lost a day? The date of death changed from the 27th to the 26th?!)

The silly loli, who was used to Jiang Ran's brilliant plans, screamed in disbelief, and Jiang Ran himself was also quite surprised.

After seeing the future scene of himself dying prematurely, his first reaction was to look for Shiiki Ruri in the scene to see if she had died with him this time.

However, Shiiki Ruri was not in the death scene.

The scene of Jiang Ran's death this time was quite pure. It was exactly the scene of being chased and killed in the mountains. If there was any gain from foreseeing the future of death this time, it was that Jiang Ran finally saw another enemy who killed him in the picture: the blood-sucking snake Orlosk.
