Chapter 132, Call Me Sister
The wooden house is not particularly large. When you open the door curtain, you can see the whole view of the house.
Several carpets of different colors were laid on the smooth floor, and the tables and chairs were polished to a cold sheen, looking like old items.
There weren't many people, and their ages were different. Besides Zhou Jian, there was another person she knew.
When those people saw them come in, some greeted Zhou Jian, while others glanced at them and then lowered their heads to continue with what they were doing.
Jiang Ran looked at the people in the cabin without leaving any trace, and his eyes stopped on the young boy a few steps away.
The boy was sitting cross-legged on a mat, playing chess with the girl opposite him. When he heard the noise, he didn't even raise his head.
"Zhou Jian, did you bring friends back?"
The sound is unique, it sounds like a long sound of metal hitting stone, and it is a bit harsh.
Zhou Jian agreed and said, "Brother, she helped me before, so I'm going to repay her with a favor."
"Oh." The boy was holding the chess piece, distracted. "I saw she was carrying a bag. Could she be the one those crazy dogs outside are looking for?"
Zhou Jian was silent.
The boy didn't say anything. He pursed his lips and pondered for a long time. Then he threw the white piece between his fingers onto the chessboard and sighed: "I don't want to play anymore. It's boring."
Opposite him, the girl stood up, patted her numb legs, looked at Jiang Ran, and forced herself to stretch out a stiff arc: "Jiang Ranran, long time no see."
"Long time no see, Yi Xi." Jiang Ran's expression was calm and thoughtful. "I didn't expect you to be with Zhou Jian..."
"I didn't expect that?" As if he heard something funny, the boy tutted his lips, stood up and turned to Jiang Ran.
He has a delicate appearance and a thin body, but his eyes are sharp, making him look extremely aggressive.
He looked at Jiang Ran and asked, "Are you from the high-end residential area? Well, judging by the way you're dressed, you must be from there."
He approached Jiang Ran, his eyes never leaving her, his heart full of malice.
"You live in a neighborhood reserved for high-end psychics, but you haven't awakened your own abilities. It seems you've found some kind of support?" He thought for a moment, then realized, "Oh, Jiang Ranran. I remember the Shen family's daughter was called that."
The man's tone was unfriendly. Jiang Ran raised an eyebrow and asked, "So, is it the name Jiang Ranran that annoys you? Or is it that Jiang Ranran lives in a high-end neighborhood that annoys you?"
He didn't expect her to say that. Although he had already witnessed Jiang Ran's sharp transformation, Zhou Jian couldn't help but pull her sleeve, signaling her to shut up.
No one in this slum had ever dared to talk back to him like this.
Finding it amusing, the boy stopped in front of Jiang Ran, leaned over slightly, and looked at her: "Could it be that Professor Si Xu was conquered by your sharp tongue? Do you dare to speak like that in front of Si Xu?"
"What's it to you?"
"I'm just curious." The boy sighed. "I was thinking, you're being chased by so many people right now. If I throw you in front of them, maybe I can even get the bonus. So, what should I do with you?"
"Bonus?" Jiang Ran remained calm, even revealing a somewhat bored expression. "I can tell you, if you throw me out now, Shen Lang will just kill me to silence me."
"Huh?" The boy laughed. "Are you kidding? Why would Shen Lang kill someone to silence them?"
"Because I will tell him that in order to survive, I told you all the secrets I know."
She was threatening him! The boy frowned and sneered: "Maybe I shouldn't hand you over to those people, but kill you directly."
After hearing this, Zhou Jian wanted to speak nervously, but Yi Xi held his shoulders.
The girl whispered, "Look—she's smarter than us."
Zhou Jian hesitated and said nothing.
…
He wanted to kill her? Jiang Ran's expression remained calm, and no emotion could be heard in his voice.
"If you can do it, it's not impossible."
"Huh?" The boy actually laughed this time. He held his stomach, laughing so hard that he fell forward and backward, tears streaming down his face. "You mean, I can't kill you?"
The moment the words fell, the air distorted slightly, and crackling lightning jumped between the men.
"A third-level lightning-type mutant can't kill an unarmed ordinary person?"
He approached Jiang Ran and sneered, "To deal with a delicate girl like you, I only need to move my fingers..."
"Brother Yi, he..." The man seemed to be really angry with Jiang Ranran!
Zhou Jian subconsciously rushed forward two steps and was about to stop the two people, but she felt a flash in front of her eyes. Before she could even see the girl's movements, the boy was thrown to the ground by Jiang Ran over his shoulder.
There was a "bang" sound, accompanied by the boy's groan.
Jiang Ran grabbed his hand, put the silver pistol to his temple, and sneered: "Kill me? Little brother, you are not good enough."
"You! What's wrong with you?!" With the cold wound pressed against his head, the boy frowned and blurted out, "Why is my ability..."
Why is there no effect?
"It seems that without your superpowers, you really have no ability at all." Jiang Ran glanced at the other people in the room who were startled and pressed the gun closer. "Don't make me angry, or your big brother will lose his life."
In the past, when Si Xu was her opponent, she always got beaten. Now that her opponent has changed to someone else, she finds that she can handle it with ease.
Those people exchanged glances implicitly, looking at the boy who was being controlled by her, but in the end did not take any action.
"Alright, have you guys had enough of the fuss?" Yi Xi clapped his hands until Jiang Ranran was in charge of the boys. "Jiang Ranran, he's our boss, give him some face."
"Yi Xi! Your friend is a bug!" Hearing Yi Xi's voice, the boy lost his previous coldness and yelled like he was complaining, "She ate my superpowers!"
Jiang Ran: "..." What do you mean by ate?! Her ability was negated! Does this guy know how to use words?
"Shut up!" Yi Xi glared at the boy, still looking at Jiang Ranran, "Jiang Ranran, he is just like that, don't bother with him."
"He is your boss?" This kid looks like he hasn't even graduated from high school yet, how can he be the boss?
Thinking of his threats, Jiang Ran tapped the boy's face with the gun and chuckled, "For the sake of Yi Xi and Zhou Jian, I can let you go. But..."
The boy bared his teeth: "But what?"
"Call me sister, and remember to owe me a life, and I'll let you go." Jiang Ran curled her lips, "How about it?"
"I owe you a life?" the boy said angrily. "If it weren't for us, you would have been caught long ago!"
"It was Zhou Jian who brought me here. It has nothing to do with you. Don't flatter yourself—didn't you just want to kill me?"
The boy opened his mouth, speechless.
Jiang Ran was not in a hurry either.
The others were not in a hurry either, just watching the show.
After a while, the boy groaned: "Sister Ranran, I will remember that I owe you a life."
Tsk tsk, this boss really has no principles. I wonder how he gets to be the boss?
"Okay." Jiang Ran let go of him as he was told. "Little friend, don't try to act like a big wolfdog if you're just a little puppy. You won't be able to imitate it."
The boy, who was originally flexing his painful arm, rolled his eyes upon hearing this and muttered, "You know shit... If you weren't aggressive in the slums, you'd have been gnawed to the bone long ago."
I don’t know if she heard his mumbling, but the girl didn’t respond. She walked towards Zhou Jian and Yi Xi and spoke to the girls in a low voice.
Someone came up to the boy and asked in a low voice, "Qiao Yi, what's wrong with you? Where's your superpower? Did you really get eaten?"
Qiao glanced at him.
After a burst of crackling sounds, the man who was asking the question exhaled a puff of white smoke and fell backwards to the ground. His outer clothes were burnt, his hair stood on end, and he looked burnt on the outside and tender on the inside.
Qiao Yi kicked him: "Do you feel the power of my supernatural power?"
The man twitched: "Boss, I was wrong..."
