Chapter 25 The Missing Paul(1/2)
"Paul!"
"The third victim to be eaten by a beast!"
"I need all the information about him, the more detailed the better!"
Qin Ran said.
The only "special" Paul among the five victims really brought Qin Ran's attention.
Moreover, Qin Ran had a rough guess!
Of course, without a definite understanding, Qin Ran will not make any more assumptions for the time being.
Because that will only affect his most objective analysis and evaluation.
Qin Ran knew the terrible preconceived thoughts very well.
In Qin Ran's view, that is one of the bad habits that is no less than "habits".
"Paul?"
"Okay, please wait!"
mr.Pride g is a little confused about Qin Ran’s request.
Not only is Paul, the third victim, but he has carefully studied all the victims of the "Beast-Eating Man" incident.
But nothing was discovered.
However, this did not prevent him from doing what Qin Ran said.
Ten minutes later, when MR.Pin G appeared again, he held two thick cowhide bags in his hand.
"It's all here since Paul entered the orphanage until his death!"
"It's all the information I can collect!"
"Do you need four other people?"
mr.puffed g and patted the cowhide bag.
"Thank you, no need for the time being!"
Qin Ran smiled and raised his hand, then opened two cowhide bags.
The information in the two cowhide bags was sorted out according to time and date, based on Paul's twenty years of growth as the axis.
One of them is that Paul appears in an orphanage as a child, then to a teenager, to a youth, including but not limited to school, club activities, and dating.
Another one is to put some chores about Paul, including more interpersonal relationships outside of school.
Qin Ran looked around one by one and found nothing special.
The other party is neither the smartest nor the stupidest, but his grades are very good. Apart from being an orphan, he is a bit introverted and not good at communicating with others, he is no different from ordinary people.
When I was a teenager, I also had idols who admired me and had a love affair that ended without success.
After going to college, because the expenses increased, I started to work one more job.
However, his grades are still very good and he is the winner of the annual scholarship.
Except for the fact that one needs to support one's own strength because of the orphan's identity, Paul's experience is really ordinary.
However, Qin Ran did not give up.
He still looked carefully until he turned to the last page.
That was the end of Paul's life.
A photo with only the left arm left.
The arm in the photo is incomplete, without a palm or above the elbow, just the forearm.
But even so, this forearm is still bloody and bloody, with only a few fragmented character tattoos, which are still clear.
It is precisely because of these fragmented characters that people confirm Paul's identity.
There was a clear mark on Paul's arm. Qin Ran was not surprised, and only in this way could it be consistent with his initial guess.
However, when Qin Ran saw these characters and tattoos clearly, his eyes narrowed.
He recognized these characters.
Not recognized by obtaining temporary language!
But because...
【Mysterious Knowledge】!
Qin Ran can read the characters in front of him with [Mysterious Knowledge], and even pronounce the corresponding pronunciation, but he cannot understand the meaning of them.
Because, they are not complete.
Just a part of a meaning.
[Mysterious Knowledge] Each word with a specific meaning is lengthy and complex, with not only words but also symbols. It is even a bit of a few that ordinary people cannot understand.
Just like other languages and characters, any slight change will make the meaning of the entire vocabulary completely different.
The same is true for [Mysterious Knowledge].
‘burn’ and ‘freezing’ are just two characters different. There are as many as fourteen characters that make up them, that is, the remaining twelve characters are exactly the same.
Therefore, these characters are not only mysterious, but also extremely difficult to learn.
But such mysterious and difficult-to-learn knowledge appeared on Paul's arm in the form of a tattoo.
Qin Ran really found it a bit incredible.
"Paul planned this 'beast cannibal' incident?"
"And, was that huge magic array arranged?"
Qin Ran guessed.
But then shook his head.
He believes in the intelligence network of mr.com.
Since mr. forced G to confirm that Sfendick had no relationship with Paul, then Paul would not be related to Sfendick.
Whether it is on the surface or in the dark.
Unless, Paul can make a makeover.
Otherwise, I would definitely not be able to hide the eyeliner placed in Sfendick.
And, there is something more important!
If Qin Ran's guess is valid, it needs to be based on a foundation: Paul has a considerable level of [mysterious knowledge] and knows how to build a certain or several complete magic arrays.
This is somewhat unlikely for an orphan who is only twenty years old.
A not-so-smart person must have to put in more effort to maintain excellent grades in school.
And under this premise, we will learn [mysterious knowledge] and then work hard.
This has exceeded the scope of a normal person's energy and physical strength.
Qin Ran, who has a similar background, has experienced similar experiences.
At that time, he had maintained very good grades, thanks for being able to barely keep up with his learning progress.
Therefore, Qin Ran simply applied to drop out of school and spent more time working.
Especially learning [mysterious knowledge]!
Qin Ran, who has a mastery level [Mysterious Knowledge], knows the difficulty of mastering this skill.
If you learn that complex, mysterious and difficult-to-understand knowledge in a normal way, it is not to be distracted. Even if you concentrate on studying, it is extremely difficult to reach a considerable level at Paul's age.
Not to mention understanding the construction of a certain or several complete magic arrays.
Because, that is no longer something that can be solved by self-study, and someone must teach it.
At least, there is no description of the spell in the [Mysterious Knowledge] at the level of Qin Ran’s proficiency.
In other words: someone teaches!
"Someone taught Paul?"
"Or, Paul saw it, and was influenced by some people and things, and tattooed this on his forearm as a tattoo?"
The thoughts that emerged in his heart made Qin Ran almost subconsciously start looking through the information and photos that belonged to Paul before.
He wanted to find someone who could teach, influence Paul's [Mysterious Knowledge], and confirm the characters on the other party's left arm.
But the result disappointed Qin Ran.
The collected information did not show that people who were particularly close to Paul and who were likely to teach and influence Paul.
There are quite a few photos of Paul.
But most of them are photos of formal suits and ties, and there is no photo of life.
