Chapter 554 Murder in the Locked Room



Jiang Ran stepped inside, and the door slammed shut instantly, giving no one else a chance to follow!

"Jiang Ran!"

They tried to attack the gate, but it was still to no avail.

Is this room only open to one person at a time?

Jiang Ran couldn't help but frown slightly.

Fortunately, before coming in, he specifically instructed Yu Cheng to replenish his [Creator] five times, and with the mental strength restored by Lin Zhi, he would at least be able to cope with whatever he encountered.

The walls of the room were engraved with obscure runes, which began to glow, illuminating the entire room.

In the center of the room sat a man wearing glasses.

Jiang Ran recognized him; this was the human form of the King of Human Observers, whose name seemed to be He Dong.

"I was just about to go find you, but I never expected that you would be the one waiting for me here."

"Everything was predetermined by fate."

He Dong stood up and walked up to Jiang Ran.

"Being able to stand here means that your path to godhood is nearing its end. Perhaps I should congratulate you, the next Mr. Wheel of Fortune."

"Thank you then."

He Dong turned around and pointed to a mahogany cabinet behind him.

"This contains the secrets left behind by the Wheel of Fortune. I won't lie to you, I've been trying to open it, but I've never succeeded."

"Perhaps only the right person can open this cabinet."

What did the Wheel of Fortune leave behind?

Jiang Ran had seen the images left behind by the Wheel of Fate. Logically speaking, if there were any secrets, he should have told them by then, but he left this one here.

Jiang Ran could only explain this as partial information; at the time, he only possessed a few divine elements, so he only obtained a portion of the information in the images.

Now, only when he possesses most of the divinity and comes before the cabinet will he be qualified to obtain the remaining information.

Jiang Ran stepped forward. The mahogany cabinet was not locked. The restrictions set inside were far more troublesome than locks. Whether it could be opened or not depended solely on itself.

He Dong tried every method he could think of, but he couldn't open the cabinet.

Jiang Ran reached out and gently pulled.

The cabinet door is open!

Inside, a laptop lay quietly, strangely clean without a speck of dust, a stark contrast to the surrounding cabinets.

"The final secret..."

Jiang Ran lowered his gaze, shifted his body to the side, and instantly dodged the flying tentacles!

The entire mahogany cabinet was smashed to pieces by the tentacles, leaving only the laptop inside unharmed.

After opening the cabinet door, the restrictions on the wooden cabinet had clearly disappeared!

"This is really boring, Jiang Ran. Are you still driving the Wheel of Fate all this way?" He Dong pushed up his glasses. "Looks like you still don't trust me."

"Based on your actions so far, you are not trustworthy."

Jiang Ran decided to put the laptop aside for the time being and deal with the immediate problem first!

He Dong's decision to target Jiang Ran suggests that his previous words were merely a ploy to lure Jiang Ran into the bizarre world.

Only when we got here did he reveal his true fangs!

"Jiang Ran, do you know what task the Wheel of Fate assigned me? He told me to wait here until the other qualified Fallen Gods arrive, and then hand over the Caged Bird to him!"

Jiang Ran's guess was correct; He Dong was indeed the last Fallen God!

Yes, Bates are all bizarre creatures, and Arceus also transformed into a bizarre creature afterward. This shows that the scope of the Fallen Gods is not limited to humans.

"He created me, gave me the title of 'caged bird,' and gave me a race. He should have been my God, a father figure to me!"

"Unfortunately, I was just a pawn to him in the end."

"【Caged Bird】, haha, aren't we all caged birds! Our fate is decided from the moment we are born. Is this the god who controls destiny? How terrifying!"

"But! He is already dead! What use is a dead god? Let other qualified fallen gods come before him, and then hand over their divinity. Am I merely a tool to safeguard divinity?!"

"No!" He Dong revealed a strange smile. "I am also a fallen god, and I am also qualified to compete for a godhood!"

"I want to become a god too!"

The light on the wall slowly turned blood red.

"I mixed together the blood of a large number of powerful and bizarre creatures in order to inscribe the world's strongest amplification array!"

No wonder there are so few strange creatures in the Strange Academy; were they all killed by He Dong and turned into magic arrays?

"You won't even spare your own people?"

"Because they are strong enough, they should contribute their strength to me!"

"Once I become a god, resurrecting them will be a matter of a snap of my fingers. It will all be a worthwhile sacrifice!"

He Dong pushed up his glasses again: "This is a miracle from the [Caged Bird]!"

The effect of 【Caged Bird】is to add a restriction to any unit!

If you impose restrictions on their actions, they will be unable to act; if you impose restrictions on their thoughts, they will become drooling idiots!

That's right, "caged bird" and "freedom" are two opposite "miracles"!

"Let me first destroy the wisdom you're so proud of!"

The powerful amplification from the amplification array allowed the Caged Bird to unleash hundreds of times its power. Even if Jiang Ran wanted to use Freedom to remove the restrictions or the Wheel of Fate to resist, he would have to expend a hundred times the mental energy!

Clearly, he doesn't have that much mental energy right now.

This is a miracle from faith!

The others were kept outside. Although they couldn't see Jiang Ran, they all believed that he would be safe and sound. So Jiang Ran used this belief to activate [Faith]!

With everyone's trust, the consumption of mental energy was undoubtedly greatly reduced, but even so, it was still not enough to resist the hundredfold amplification array!

We need to think of other solutions!

Aransta stood guard at the spot where Arceus and the director disappeared, quietly waiting for one of them to emerge.

Just then, another person walked over.

Aransta turned his head warily, only to see someone he had never expected!

"Bates?! Weren't you supposed to be at base?"

"Shh-"

Bates jokingly raised his finger, making a shushing gesture.

"You, you, you! How did you get here?"

Once the formation is activated, all the materials are used up. Yu Cheng is in a strange world. Who provided him with the materials?

Bates smiled. "I have a spare set of materials."

Alansta's tone was full of bewilderment: "Seriously, are you out of your mind? If you were going to come, why didn't you come with us instead of wasting extra materials?"

"No, no, no!"

Bates shook his finger.

"If I come with you, it won't be effective."
