Chapter 1278: Cooperation
Qin Ran was like a tourist newly arrived in Edshire.
He spent the entire day wandering around Edshire.
Of course, along the way, he found time to read the note the young man had given him.
The contents of the note were roughly as follows-
Missing 1: Carol Deer, Kelot Deer (Mayor Slo Deer's two nephews. For the childless Deer, these two nephews were the only candidates to inherit everything he had in Edshire, but both disappeared at dusk.)
Missing 2: Annepenny Lin (the only daughter of Hardy Lin, speaker of the Upper House. She disappeared the day before the anomaly.)
Death 1: Quick Webster (one of the wealthy businessman Webster's sons. He was found dead in his own home three days before the anomaly.)
Death 2: Aymor Mor (the only son of Upper House member Mor. He was found dead in an inn four days before the anomaly.)
Two disappearances, two deaths.
In a world where monsters existed, these were naturally unremarkable. But the identities of the missing and the dead were anything but ordinary, just as the young man had said.
The mayor, the speaker of the Upper House, a member of the house, and a wealthy businessman.
That encompassed almost all of Edshire's upper echelon.
Under normal circumstances, incidents like these would inevitably cause an uproar. Strangely, however, there had been complete silence.
This departure from common sense made Qin Ran narrow his eyes.
Were these people connected to Edshire's anomaly?
The thought came to Qin Ran almost instinctively.
Because in Edshire as it was now, only a connection to the anomaly could explain something so unusual.
Of course!
There was another possibility!
As that possibility occurred to him, an unusual gleam flashed in Qin Ran's narrowed eyes.
However, he did not act immediately.
