Chapter 119 The 'Omitted' Paul

"Paul!"

"The third victim 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 caught Kieran's attention.

Moreover, it gave Qin Ran a rough guess!

Of course, Qin Ran will not make any more assumptions for the time being without a definite understanding.

Because that would only affect his most objective analysis and evaluation.

Kieran is well aware of the fear of preconceived ideas.

In Kieran's view, it was one of the vices that were not inferior to 'habits'.

"Paul?"

"OK, just a second!"

Mr.Big was somewhat puzzled by Qin Ran's request.

Not only the third victim, Paul, but he has studied all the victims of the "beast cannibal" incident in detail.

But nothing was found,

However, this did not prevent him from doing what Qin Ran said.

Ten minutes later, when Mr. Big reappeared, he was holding two thick leather bags in his hands.

"From Paul's entry into the orphanage until his death, it's all here!"

"It's all the information I can collect!"

"Do you need the other four?"

Mr.Big patted the leather bag.

"Thanks, I don't need it for now!"

Qin Ran raised his hand with a smile and opened two leather bags.

The materials in the two leather bags are arranged according to time and date, taking Paul's 20 years of growth as the axis.

One of them shows Paul's experience in the orphanage when he was a child, then as a teenager, and then to the youth, including but not limited to school, club activities, and falling in love.

The other one contains some miscellaneous things about Paul, including more interpersonal relationships outside of school.

Qin Ran looked through them one by one, but found nothing special.

The other party is neither the smartest nor the stupidest, but his grades are very good. Except for being an orphan, his personality is a little withdrawn, and he is not good at communicating with others, he is no different from ordinary people.

When I was a teenager, I also had idols I admired, and I talked about a love affair that ended without a problem.

After I went to university, because of the increase in expenses, I started to work an extra job.

However, the results are still very good, is the winner of the annual scholarship.

Except for being an orphan and needing to support himself, Paul's experience is really ordinary.

However, Qin Ran did not give up because of this.

He still looked carefully until he turned to the last page.

That was the full stop of Paul's life.

A photo of only the left arm.

The arm in the photo is mutilated, with no palm and no part above the elbow, just the forearm.

But even so, this forearm is still bloody, with only a few fragmented character tattoos, which are still clear.

It is precisely because of these fragmented characters that people can confirm Paul's identity.

Kieran was not surprised that there would be an obvious mark on Paul's arm, and only in this way could he conform to his initial guess.

However, when Kieran saw the tattoos clearly, his eyes narrowed.

He recognized these characters.

Not because of the acquisition of a temporary language to recognize!

but because...

【Mysterious Knowledge】!

Qin Ran could use [Mysterious Knowledge] to read the characters in front of him, and even pronounce the corresponding pronunciation, but he couldn't understand the meaning.

Because they are not complete.

only part of a meaning.

Each of the words with specific meanings in [Mysterious Knowledge] is lengthy and complicated, not only including words but also symbols, and even some words that ordinary people cannot understand.

And just like other languages, any slight change will make the meaning of the entire vocabulary completely different.

[Mysterious knowledge] is the same.

'Burning' and 'frozen' are only two different characters, but there are as many as fourteen characters that make up them, that is to say, 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 tattoos.

Qin Ran felt a little unbelievable.

"Paul planned this 'beast cannibalism' incident?"

"And, set up that huge magic circle?"

Qin Ran guessed.

However, he shook his head immediately.

He trusted Mr. Big's intelligence network.

Since Mr.Big confirmed that Sfendik has no relationship with Paul, then Paul will not be related to Sfendik.

Whether on the surface or in the dark.

Unless, Paul can change his face.

Otherwise, they would never be able to hide from the eyeliner arranged by Mr. Big in Sfendik.

Moreover, there is an even more important point!

If Qin Ran's guess is true, it needs to be based on a foundation: Paul has a certain level of [mysterious knowledge], and knows how to construct one or more complete magic circles.

This is somewhat unlikely for a person born as an orphan who is only twenty years old.

If a person who is not very smart wants to maintain very good grades in school, he must work harder.

And under this premise, learn [mysterious knowledge], and then work part-time on their own.

This has gone beyond 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, let alone maintaining excellent grades, even if he could barely keep up with the progress of his studies, he was thankful.

Therefore, Qin Ran simply applied for dropping out of school and spent more time on part-time work.

Especially learning [mysterious knowledge]!

Kieran, who has a proficient level of [Mysterious Knowledge], knows how difficult it is to master this skill.

If you learn the complicated, mysterious and difficult knowledge in a normal way, let alone a distraction, even if you concentrate on learning, at Paul's age, it is extremely difficult to reach a certain level.

Not to mention knowing the construction of one or several complete magic circles.

Because, that is no longer something that can be solved by self-study, it must be taught by someone.

At least, in Kieran's proficient [Mysterious Knowledge], there is no description related to spells.

That is to say: Someone Taught!

"Someone taught Paul?"

"Or did Paul see it, be influenced by someone, something, and get this tattooed on his forearm?"

The thought that emerged from the bottom of his heart made Qin Ran almost subconsciously start looking through the documents and photos that belonged to Paul before.

He wanted to find someone who might teach and influence Paul's [mysterious knowledge], and to confirm the characters on the other's left arm.

But the result disappointed Qin Ran.

In the collected information, there is no one who is particularly close to Paul and who may teach or influence Paul.

There are quite a few photos of Paul.

But most of them are photos of formal suits and leather shoes, not any photos of life.

In connection with his previous orphan status, comments about his withdrawn personality seemed normal.

But after a few characters appeared, it seemed unusual again.

"Intentional cover-up?"

Qin Ran guessed uncertainly.

Then, Qin Ran raised his hand and rubbed his swollen temples.

At first he thought he had found a clue, but this clue took him around in a circle and returned to the original point again.

It even overturned Kieran's original hypothesis quite simply.

"Why on earth are you doing this?"

Qin Ran whispered to himself.

PS I was decadent yesterday because of Jiageng, I slept too late...even this chapter is too late...

Powerless...
