Keep attacking girls and try not to be killed by them

10.80 - New Uses for Old Abilities

Jiang Ran felt very warm in his heart that he was still remembered by everyone after such a long time...but on the other hand, there was the risk of his "disguise" being discovered.

Jiang Ran was still clear about which was more important on the two ends of the scale.

During the conversation, Jiang Ran had already learned that everyone in the Xunyou Caravan was living well. In that case, he could put away his "extra" concern and keep a distance from the Xunyou Caravan.

It is also worth mentioning that Jiang Ran also purchased a lot of goods from the Xunyou Caravan today. This large amount of income will surely make their future lives much more comfortable.

(Stupid Loli: Don’t you want to talk to them anymore, Jiang Yan?)

(Jiang Ran: It’s best for them without me.)

After making up his mind, Frost Knight Stan gradually walked away from the caravan.

Jiang Ran knew that as long as he continued to target the "One and Only Demon God", everyone around him would be in danger.

·

·

Jiang Ran's work of purchasing and preparing props went smoothly.

In addition, with the majestic appearance and personality of Frost Knight Stein, confession points can be easily obtained.

This time, Jiang Ran didn't need to make any effort, as the girl who came to him because of his reputation took the initiative to confess her love to him. This was the first time he had encountered such easy access to confession points in the Prison Star World.

And this will probably not be the last time he encounters this.

At this point, Jiang Ran's two main goals in Boyle Town have been achieved. Whether to set off on this journey depends entirely on the result of Jiang Ran's "foreseeing the future of death" this time.

·

When Jiang Ran used the ability of "Meeting the Future of Death" before, he took advantage of a loophole and let his future self send important information back to him in the form of "special symbols".

This time, Jiang Ran not only wanted to use the same trick again, but also wanted to test the "improved" feedback method to see if he could obtain more valuable information.

Jiang Ran did it right away. He closed his eyes and organized his thoughts, letting the idea of ​​this action settle in his mind, and then activated the predictive ability of the Super-Dimensional Divine Eye.

Just like before, the "future death scene" soon appeared before Jiang Ran's eyes, but it was different from all the previous death futures:

·

This time, the person who killed Jiang Ran was Jiang Ran himself.

·

It sounds mysterious, but it is actually very simple.

The action plan Jiang Ran gave to his "future self" this time was to track down the Dark Rabbit Clan, collect as much intelligence as possible, and commit suicide immediately if he sensed any possible danger that could lead to his death.

Yes, that's right. Since suicide is also a form of death, it will definitely be foreseen by the "Predicting the Future of Death". What the "Future Jiang Ran" needs to do is to spread out the parchment containing this information and place it on his body while committing suicide, so that the "Present Jiang Ran" can see the collected information in the death screen.

Just like the last time he engraved symbols on the armor, Jiang Ran also used encrypted symbols this time.

By interpreting these symbols, many previous questions have been answered at this moment.

·

Before explaining the information gathered by "Future Jiang Ran", the first thing that needs to be confirmed is the time and scene of death.

According to the markings on the death screen, Jiang Ran learned that the date of death this time was the same as the last time, just two hours earlier.

In addition, the place of death was surprisingly the same as last time, both around the territory of the werewolf clan of the Farnas Empire.

Two almost identical developments made Jiang Ran realize the peculiarity of the "Rabbit God".

If there was no reason behind it, Jiang Ran didn't think that the "future Jiang Ran" would take the risk knowing that he might die.

In the death scene, Jiang Ran in the future fell on his back on the ground. He committed suicide by cutting his own neck with the Yama Knight Sword. This method was quick and did not last long in pain, which met Jiang Ran's needs very well.

However, suicide is not as easy as it sounds. Frankly speaking, if Jiang Ran were asked to commit suicide now, he might not be able to do it.

——(Thank you for your hard work, future me.)

With new doubts and old questions, Jiang Ran deciphered the parchment spread on the body of "Future Jiang Ran".

In general, in this "test" of the future, the future Jiang Ran brought back three pieces of information.

·

First, the first aspect is information about "Rabbit God-sama".

It was written in Jiang Ran's parchment from the future that the "huge black shadow" was most likely the "Rabbit God", and that there was a high possibility that the Rabbit God knew the "secret" about the "only demon god".

In order to obtain the secret of the only demon god, no matter how dangerous the Rabbit God is, it is worth a try;

Then the second piece of information is about the movements of the Dark Rabbit Clan.

Jiang Ran in the future found out that the Dark Rabbit Clan had not only left the border between the Mana Republic and the Vannia Chiefdom, but was also migrating northward.

If his prediction was correct, the new hideaway of the Dark Rabbit Clan would be between the Kraftsman United States and the Farnas Empire, where there were endless, towering mountains, making it a good place to hide their whereabouts.

The last part of the information resolved Jiang Ran's doubts about the place of death.

Jiang Ran from the future explained that the "Rabbit God" came to the territory of the werewolf clan to avenge the Dark Rabbit clan.

One of the reasons why the Dark Rabbit Clan went into seclusion was because they were surrounded and hunted by the Werewolf Clan.

The old hatred between the two tribes has continued to deepen over the years, making revenge on the werewolf tribe the long-cherished wish of the Dark Rabbit tribe.

[Note: For details, see chapter 9.02 - The Lord of Eternal Winter's Judgment]

During his investigations during this period, Jiang Ran had basically figured out the history of the grudges between the two tribes. He had also heard the Dark Rabbit Queen, Wu Suoqi, say cruelly, "One day, the skin of the werewolf ancestor will be used to decorate the floor of her house," repeatedly from different people.

With the answer from "Future Jiang Ran", he now understood why he died in the werewolf territory. The rest depended on how he could continue to dig deeper into this information.

·

·

"I never thought that this incident would involve the 'One and Only Demon God'..."

In the hotel room, Jiang Ran slumped in a chair, looking up and sighing.

He originally had no idea how he ended up in the werewolf clan's territory, and even wondered if he was fighting the giant black shadow in order to protect the werewolf clan.

Now, these ridiculous speculations have finally been answered, and Jiang Ran no longer has to wonder why he made such a "weird" move.

However, just as before, the solution of old problems will inevitably be accompanied by the emergence of new problems.

Although the 'Rabbit God' is very dangerous, it is possible to learn the secret of the 'Only Demon God' from him. Now that Jiang Ran knows this, he has to re-evaluate the affairs of the Dark Rabbit Clan.

10.81 - Think before you act

━━━━━━━━━━

October 187, 10

〖17:28 pm〗

[Death Future Remaining: 20 Days]

[Confession death countdown remaining: 30 days]

"Curse of the Ancestral Wolf: 49 Days Remaining"

━━━━━━━━━━

The slightly restrained room was filled with the aroma of wood.

The walls, built of rough stone, are covered with traces of time.

Jiang Ran changed back into his usual clothes and paced back and forth in the hotel room, closing his eyes in deep thought.

——(The "secret" of the one and only demon god... This is indeed very attractive...)

Up to now, Jiang Ran has been flying around in the Prison Star World like a headless fly.

This wasn't because he had no plans, but because he was either being hunted or on the verge of being hunted.

Even now, the original motivation of his actions is to save his life.

·

Jiang Ran's current situation is that if he fails to complete the requirements of the "Ancestral Wolf's Curse of Judgment" before the countdown ends, he will die.

This was the fundamental reason why he had been trying to get close to the Dark Rabbit Clan for some time.

If we use the concept of role-playing games as an analogy, this is more like a side quest. However, side quests in the conventional sense are optional, while Jiang Ran's side quest will result in death if not completed. In this case, Jiang Ran's side quest becomes a "pseudo-main quest."

After arriving in the Prison Star World, Jiang Ran had been constantly driven to run around by these "pseudo-main quests," to the point that his real main quest had made no progress.

Yes, Jiang Ran actually has a real "main mission" to complete.

The main quest is to "make the 'One and Only Demon God, the Unspeakable Name' sincerely confess his love to me and agree to return to the Earth with me."

[Note: See Chapter 3 - False Accidents for details]

Jiang Ran didn't know why the "Good God" set such a strange task for him, nor did he know whether such a confession had any connection with the confession system of the Super-Dimensional God's Eye.

All he can do now is to keep trying and groping forward until he encounters an opportunity to touch the truth.

This time, the "real main mission" and the "fake main mission" overlapped, which was a lucky event that Jiang Ran had never encountered before.

Although we still don't know what the "Secret of the One Demon God" is and what impact it will have, as long as it can advance the main storyline, it will be of great value.

In addition, since Jiang Ran's current strength is close to the top level in his region, after the "Curse of the Ancestral Wolf's Judgment" is lifted, Jiang Ran should not fall into the dilemma of "running around to save his life" again soon.

Taking both factors into consideration, perhaps the current time point is the turning point for Jiang Ran to turn from passive to active.

——(‘Rabbit God-sama’, what secret do you know? Let me find out…!)

Jiang Ran glanced at the word "Jiang" carved on the palm of his hand...it was time for the gears of fate to start turning.

·

·

The more relaxed you are when making a decision, the more awkward you will be when executing it.

Jiang Ran's determination could not help him clear the difficulties ahead. When he began to conceive a detailed plan, he soon realized that he had chosen a difficult path.

In order to obtain the "Secret of the Only Demon God", Jiang Ran first drew up a vague preliminary plan, which was a bit like "how many steps it takes to put an elephant into a refrigerator".

His initial plan was:

1. Find the Dark Rabbit Clan;

2. Infiltrate the Dark Rabbit Clan;

3. Find out the key information about "Rabbit God-sama";

4. Obtain the "Secret of the Only Demon God" from "Rabbit God-sama";

Thanks to the clues provided by "Future Jiang Ran", finding the Dark Rabbit Clan should not be difficult. As for infiltration, it is also a piece of cake for Jiang Ran who has the skills of "Fraudster" and "Shadowmaker".

After careful consideration, Jiang Ran felt that the real difficulty lay in figuring out the "truth of the matter."

Does "Rabbit God-sama" actually exist among the Dark Rabbit Clan?

How did "Future Jiang Ran" know that "Lord Rabbit God knew the secret"?

Also, what kind of existence is "Lord Rabbit God" and why was "Future Jiang Ran" brutally killed by him?

The questions that need to be answered are as numerous as the stars in the sky.

If possible, Jiang Ran really wanted to continue to earn some confession points, and then continue to use the power of the Super-Dimensional Divine Eye to peek into the future.

However, time waits for no one.

Even if Jiang Ran could get a confession point in two or three days, the remaining time would not allow him to stay in Boyle Town any longer.

20 days may seem like a lot of time, but it is actually not enough.

During these 20 days, Jiang Ran had to find the Dark Rabbit Clan, infiltrate, gather intelligence, learn the truth, and so on...

If he had to squeeze out more time from the 20 days to earn confession points, in the worst case, he would miss the best time to act because of earning confession points.

"Is this cautious approach to risk aversion actually putting the cart before the horse... This is really pushing me down the most dangerous path."

Jiang Ran shook his head, feeling that just thinking about it had already made him confused.
