Keep attacking girls and try not to be killed by them

I believe that few people except Jiang Ran himself can understand such abstract and strange symbols, and the information that Jiang Ran urgently wants to know is hidden in these symbols.

It is actually not difficult to interpret the symbols. The key is to know the rules.

First is the first symbol ▲, which represents "Zhaoye Liuque's chief hall master, Jiuyiren, Tetodaf". When this symbol appears, if it is followed by the symbol ?, then the future Jiang Ran has successfully killed this enemy. If it is followed by the symbol ?, then it means that the assassination failed.

Fortunately, what Jiang Ran saw here was a check mark, which meant that as long as he continued to act according to the current strategy, he would be able to get the same result.

Then, a vertical line symbol represented the dividing line, indicating that the first item had been recorded. The next symbol ■ that appeared represented "Bloodthirsty Serpent Orlosk".

Similar to the symbol combination in the previous paragraph, the two symbols ? and ? are used to indicate whether the blood-sucking snake will appear in this future of death. If it appears, "Future Jiang Ran" will use the symbols ? and ? again to indicate the other party's life or death.

Here, Jiang Ran only saw the two symbols ■ and ?, and then the vertical line separator, which meant that the Bloodthirsty Snake did not appear in this fourth future of death. In other words, Jiang Ran's guess was correct. As long as he killed the "Head Master of Zhaoye Liuque", the Bloodthirsty Snake would not come to kill him so quickly.

The interpretation of the symbols ended here, and the biggest doubt that Jiang Ran had when he foresaw the future of death three times was answered.

It is effective to strike first and as long as you do so, you can resolve the crisis.

The feedback from the future boosted Jiang Ran's confidence, which had once waned. Spending four energy points was indeed a luxury, but as long as he could continue to survive, there would always be a way to get new points.

Then, after cheering up, Jiang Ran discovered another unexpected surprise. He noticed that in the "fourth future death scene", next to the hand of "Jiang Ran lying dead on his side", there were three simple symbols drawn on the ground!

[Note: The symbols that this idiot author can find are really limited, so please forgive me, readers. And please imagine the symbols here as simple black and white symbols~]

"What are these three symbols...?"

Jiang Ran looked at it carefully. The three symbols drawn on the ground by "Future Jiang Ran" were not the symbols Jiang Ran had prepared before he foresaw the future of death.

In other words, this was created by "Future Jiang Ran" before his death, and it was the message that "Future Jiang Ran" temporarily wanted to leave for his present self.

(Stupid Loli: This, this, this, I'm not telling you the murderer this time, am I?)

The silly loli was smart for once. Just as she said, Jiang Ran also believed that "Future Jiang Ran" was conveying clues to him about the "murderer" and "how he died."

After a careful examination, Jiang Ran discovered that the three newly created symbols left by "Future Jiang Ran" were not difficult to understand. The key lay in how to combine them together for interpretation.

First, the first symbol?, which looks like a moon when viewed alone;

Next is the second symbol ?, which is a stick figure rabbit;

Finally, what about the third symbol? Without a doubt, this is a hexagram formation;

The symbol of the moon can be used to represent the night and also has the meaning of darkness;

The word "rabbit" can refer to both monsters and the subhuman race of rabbit people;

As for the hexagram symbol, it can represent many things, but Jiang Ran's intuition tells him that it should be hinting at something related to magic.

After analyzing the three symbols individually, Jiang Ran combined them together to understand them, and soon realized that the first and second symbols put together should represent the "Dark Rabbit Clan"...!

Before his death, "Future Jiang Ran" drew a symbol representing the Dark Rabbit Clan. He should have wanted to convey the message that "the Dark Rabbit Clan is the murderer who killed him." If this speculation is correct, the hexagram following it should refer to the method of killing himself.

(Did the Dark Rabbit Clan kill me with magic...?)

Jiang Ran thought about it and felt that things were not that simple.

According to his understanding of himself, if the Dark Rabbit Clan simply used magic to kill him, there would be no need to mark it out specifically, because this method of killing is too common.

In other words, the hexagram symbol left by "Future Jiang Ran" must refer to another method of killing related to magic.

Jiang Ran thought and thought, looked and looked, his eyes fixed on the strange purple and black totem patterns on the dead "Future Jiang Ran". These patterns looked like a curse...

(Wait, curse?!)

In an instant, Jiang Ran had an epiphany.

Hadn't he seen information about the An Rabbit clan in the underground library of Teruya Ryuque?

What these guys are good at are skills related to curses and poisons!

(I see… No wonder the cause of death couldn’t be determined from my corpse. It turned out to be this unusual way of death.)

After figuring out how I would die, all the problems in the future death scene were solved.

However, after a brief moment of joy, Jiang Ran was soon entangled in new problems...

Jiang Ran couldn't understand why he was targeted by the Dark Rabbit Clan again after such a short period of time?

Based on the way he acted and his cautious attitude, he shouldn't have gotten into trouble with the Dark Rabbit Clan so quickly, right?

9.217 - Strategic Planning

Extremely confused, Jiang Ran took out his "little notebook".

It is called a small notebook, but it is actually a bundle of parchment scrolls, which contains a lot of information that Jiang Ran thinks is useful.

As the saying goes, a good memory is not as good as a bad pen. For the huge amount of information that needs to be remembered, Jiang Ran chose to record it on parchment.

After flipping through the parchment scroll, Jiang Ran remembered the rare combat profession of "Evil Curse Master" and reviewed all the information about the Dark Rabbit Clan.

[Note: For details, see chapters 9.161 - The Struggle of Lebrahim and 9.162 - Escape]

Jiang Ran now believes that based on the racial characteristics of the Dark Rabbit clan, the two identical and strange deaths of "Future Jiang Ran" recently, and the "death message" left by "Future Jiang Ran" this time, he can say with certainty that his previous speculation is correct.

As long as there is nothing strange going on, the murderer must be from the Dark Rabbit clan.

As for why he died at the hands of the Dark Rabbit Clan, Jiang Ran now had an idea.

·

In the last two deaths, if the previous speculation is correct, Jiang Ran died at the hands of the Dark Rabbit Clan.

According to Jiang Ran's records, the last two deaths were on October 10 and October 15 respectively. Although there was a difference of half a month, the place and manner of death seemed to be the same.

As for the fact that the date of the latter death was half a month later than the previous one, Jiang Ran guessed that it was because when he predicted the future of death for the last time, he had new information about this way of death, so he was able to hold on for more than ten days.

This also shows that the way the Dark Rabbit clan killed Jiang Ran was quite difficult to deal with. Even if Jiang Ran already knew a lot of information, he would still fall into the trap.

In addition, Jiang Ran had another speculation, that is, the method used by the Dark Rabbit Clan to kill him was probably extremely covert and sudden. Otherwise, with Jiang Ran's perception, identification, and mind-reading abilities, he would not have waited until he was about to die to temporarily draw symbols on the ground to convey information to his current self.

(It seems... that when I was walking in this dense forest, I suddenly realized that I was about to die, and then realized that the person who killed me was a member of the Dark Rabbit Clan, and then I drew the symbol for the current me to see...)

Jiang Ran relied on his imagination and reasoning to recreate the scene of his future death. Then, based on this way of death, Jiang Ran re-examined the environment in the death scene, and then noticed that the flowers and vegetation around "Future Jiang Ran" were basically intact.

If "Future Jiang Ran" was being hunted here, or if a battle took place nearby, the surrounding environment would not have looked so peaceful.

After ruling out this possibility, Jiang Ran was able to fill in the gap in his previous reasoning: "Future Jiang Ran" should have been assassinated while being completely defenseless.

(Amazing... They even managed to bypass the "red light warning"! This opponent is truly formidable.)

While Jiang Ran was sighing at the methods of the Dark Rabbit Clan, he began to understand why the ancestors of the werewolf royal family would bring such a strange curse upon themselves.

The Dark Rabbit Clan is indeed not easy to deal with.

As for the reasons why the Dark Rabbit Clan wanted to kill him, Jiang Ran, after completing the above reasoning and analysis, initially deduced that there might be three reasons:

The first reason is because of the "Ancestral Wolf's Judgment Thorn" on Jiang Ran's hand;

The black bone spur on Jiang Ran's hand grew after he was cursed by the werewolf ancestors. It has the ability to kill a seventh-order 350-level or lower "Dark Rabbit Clan" demi-human with one blow.

Although Jiang Ran had always hidden this bone spur in the Frost Knight's gloves, the Dark Rabbit Clan might be able to detect the existence of this bone spur and then kill Jiang Ran;

The second reason is because Jiang Ran killed the "Jiuyiren Tetodafu";

The last two deaths in the future had one thing in common, that is, Jiang Ran killed the head master of "Zhaoye Liuque", Jiuyiren Tetodaf.

According to Jiang Ran's previous speculation in the Spiral Underground Library, there might be some hidden relationship between the chief master Tetodaf and the Dark Rabbit Clan, which is why he hid information for the Dark Rabbit Clan.

After Jiang Ran killed Tetodaf, the Dark Rabbit Clan's intelligence was in danger of being exposed, so they wanted to kill Jiang Ran - this was both revenge for their partner and a way to silence him.

The third reason was because Jiang Ran annoyed them when he came into contact with them;

Jiang Ran didn't think the last reason was as convincing as the first two, but it was still worth mentioning.

Jiang Ran’s current plan is that after resolving the issues in Mel Town, he will set off to the place where the Dark Rabbit Clan lives in seclusion and try to see if he can communicate with them.

Perhaps, Jiang Ran angered the Dark Rabbit Clan during this communication process, which led to his death.

(Stupid Loli: Isn’t this right? With your abilities, how could you possibly piss them off?)

(Jiang Ran: There's nothing strange about that. Have you forgotten what kind of race the Dark Rabbits are?)

Although the silly loli forgot, Jiang Ran did not forget. He had already learned in the spiral underground library that the Dark Rabbit clan was a brave and aggressive sub-human race.

The reason why the Dark Rabbit Clan was expelled from the Rabbit People Clan was because they were too good at causing trouble.

Therefore, even though Jiang Ran is very good at communication, there is no way to ensure that he can live in peace with the Dark Rabbit Clan, not to mention that he is carrying the curse from the Werewolf Clan.

To sum up now, Jiang Ran believes that all three reasons are possible, and there may even be multiple reasons occurring at the same time, working together, which ultimately led to his being killed by the Dark Rabbit Clan.

If Jiang Ran still had "confession points" to use now, he would definitely use his ability of "foreseeing future death" again with the intention of confronting the Dark Rabbit clan head-on to see what kind of results this approach would bring him.

Unfortunately, Jiang Ran no longer has any confession points, so if he wants to consider the matter of the Dark Rabbit Clan, he can only make plans later.

However, even so, Jiang Ran still gained a lot this time, and it also made him change his previous naive mentality.

Before today, Jiang Ran had always viewed the Dark Rabbit Clan as victims, feeling that he could not harm innocent people just because he was cursed by the werewolf ancestor.

And now, Jiang Ran once again understood the truth that "there must be something hateful about pitiful people" and knew that the werewolf clan's desire to deal with the dark rabbit clan was not without reason.

As for which side he will help in the end, there is no rush to make a conclusion. The most important thing at the moment is to follow the strategy of "striking first and gaining the upper hand" and deal with "Dove-winged Man Tetodaf" first.

9.218 - Dwelling without Rest

In the desolate wilderness, Jiang Ran was watching the sunrise while eating breakfast made from local ingredients.

Silly Loli chatted with him in a random manner, with a sense of relaxation that is unique to after a busy day.

(Stupid Loli: Hey, there are only six days left... Time is a bit tight, Jiang Yan.)

(Jiang Ran: Yes.)

(Stupid Loli: After you finish breakfast, what should we do next?)

(Jiang Ran: Let’s go back to Meier Town first.)

(Stupid Loli: Hmm, let’s go back to Mel Town. Where’s the Blue Queen?)

(Jiang Ran: Then go back to the hotel and get some sleep.)

(Stupid Loli: Hmm, a nap... huh? It's already this late! Still taking a nap?)

(Jiang Ran: What if that’s not the case?)

(Stupid Loli: There are only six days left!)

(Jiang Ran: You're mistaken, silly Lolita. It's not that there are only six days left, but there are still six days left.)

Although it was just a pure voice conversation in his mind, Jiang Ran's calmness and the stupid loli's panic still formed a sharp contrast.

The silly loli wanted to say a few more words, but this time she finally got the point, so she didn't say anything more.

What the silly loli thought at this time was that there was really no need for her to question Jiang Ran's decision to act, because just now, Jiang Ran had used his ability to "foresee the future of death" to confirm that he could successfully kill the head of "Zhao Ye Liuque".

Jiang Ran, who was smarter than the stupid loli, naturally understood this, which was why he acted so decisively.

(Stupid Loli: Okay, okay, you’re awesome. All up to you. This alarm clock wake-up service is always on standby.)

The silly loli's slightly funny words of surrender made the already relaxed atmosphere even more cheerful. Jiang Ran, who was exhausted, was too lazy to tease the silly loli anymore. He ate the wild fruits he picked in two bites, then stood up and started to move.

·

Although he was tired, Jiang Ran's mind was still clear.

Before returning to Mel Town, he did not forget to "get rid of" the seven imprisoned members of the Cicada Corps.

When we say "deal with", we don't actually mean kill.

Jiang Ran first knocked out all seven of these hateful and pitiful people, and then used the Snake King's hangar as a means of transportation to imprison them all in seven secret rooms underground.

In these seven secret rooms, Jiang Ran placed volatile hypnotic drugs in hidden places. In this way, the seven people of the Chan Corps could easily sleep underground for another three days and two nights.

On the one hand, this long period of time can be used to wear down the will of the members of the Xianchan Corps and make them easier to control. On the other hand, it can also allow Jiang Ran to complete his preparations for using them next.

At this point, Jiang Ran finally finished cleaning up last night's incident and headed back to the hotel in Mel Town to get some sleep.

For Jiang Ran, sleeping not only allows him to rest his body and relax his mind, but more importantly, it allows him to restore his magic power.

It doesn't matter if your vitality and endurance are low, but magic power is absolutely indispensable.
