Chapter 280: None of My Business
After hanging Shi Yujiao on the city wall, Jiang Ran came down from the wall and was about to go home when he saw a group of people running towards him from a distance.
The team uniforms are neat and the pace is neat.
It's the base special ability team.
Jiang Ran wiped the water droplets off his face and stopped moving.
She had a hunch that this group of people came for her, or rather, for the chaos tonight.
Pei Xiao and Chu Yuan, who were standing on the periphery, also saw the approaching special ability team. Chu Yuan raised an eyebrow and asked, "Did you call this team over?"
"No." Pei Xiao frowned. After seeing the leader clearly, he scoffed, "It's from Team Five."
Like several other bases, the Dongchao base's special ability team is also composed of five teams - the first to third teams belong to the Pei family, and the captains of the fourth and fifth teams are selected from the other two families.
"The captain of Team Five is Zhang Minxin of the Zhang clan, a fifth-level lightning-type psychic." Pei Xiao gave a brief introduction. "The Zhang clan's patriarch, Zhang Zhe, has always been at odds with my father. I'm afraid he received some news and came here today specifically to pick a fight."
Chu Yuan touched his chin, thinking: "If I kill that Zhang guy, will it be difficult for you?"
Pei Xiao made a gesture of invitation: "As you please."
As far as he knew, ever since they knew that Shi Yujiao wanted to replace Huo Zhijue, the Zhang family began to have frequent contact with the Shi family.
Although he didn't know their specific plans, it was obvious that what they were doing now was not what he wanted to see.
Chu Yuan nodded, moved his hands, and was about to say hello to those people, but unexpectedly, the group of people ignored them and walked past them and went straight to Jiang Ran under the city wall.
Chu Yuan: "..." He lowered his raised hand and rubbed his brows. "As a captain, you have too little presence, don't you?"
Pei Xiao shrugged: "I told you, we don't fight each other—unless it's necessary, we'll just treat each other like air."
Chu Yuan raised his chin and pointed to where Jiang Ran was: "It seems that they came here for Jiang Ran."
Pei Xiao understood what he meant: "Then I can only wish them good luck."
While joking like this, the man subconsciously walked towards where the girl was.
…
The team stopped in front of Jiang Ran. The man leading the team glanced at the woman hanging on the city wall, raised his eyebrows, and ordered the adjutant beside him: "Put her down."
"yes."
The adjutant raised his index and middle fingers and made a forward gesture. Two people stood out from the team and followed him to the city wall.
They seemed not to see Jiang Ran, walking past her and completely ignoring her existence.
It is said that the most powerful weapon against the enemy is arrogant disregard, and these people actually use this very well.
Unfortunately, the prerequisite for being able to ignore the enemy is that you are strong enough. If you are not strong enough and still try to force yourself to do so, the result may be disastrous.
For example, these three people are ignoring her now.
The three psychics passed by Jiang Ran and headed straight for the city wall, wanting to rescue the woman from the dire straits. However, before they reached their destination, the three of them suddenly let out a few screams, as if they were hit by something, and rolled down the stairs together.
"What's going on?" The leader's face changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Go and check it out!"
The team members rushed forward and helped the three people up.
All three men suffered calf injuries, with their uniforms and skin cut open. The wounds were long and bloody.
"Up there..." the adjutant pressed his wound and said angrily, "There's something on the steps!"
On the steps?
Zhang Minxin narrowed his eyes and looked at the place where the three people stopped.
Soaked in blood, the murder weapon revealed its true form in the rain.
The slender and transparent puppet strings are extremely sharp, reflecting a cool light in the lightning.
The heavy rain quickly washed away the blood on it, and the killing weapon was hidden by the night, waiting for the next prey to fall into the trap.
"Those threads..." Zhang Minxin finally turned his gaze to Jiang Ran, "Did you make them?"
Jiang Ran admitted generously: "I did it."
"You're actually involving yourself in something this dangerous right here on the steps!" Zhang Minxin sneered, "Catch her!"
"Wait!" Jiang Ran took two steps back to avoid the charging mutant and chuckled, "Why are you arresting me?"
"You're obstructing public service and harming members of the Ability Team!"
"What official duties did I interfere with?" Jiang Ran pressed. "Bringing down that woman from the Shi family was your official duty? Who arranged that for you? Pei Shuai? Well, I'm going to ask him properly, what kind of official duties is this? And as for harming the members of the Ability Team, was it me who let them climb up? It was clearly you who let them go up, what does it have to do with me?"
"You're making a false argument!" Zhang Minxin said angrily, "Didn't you lay those lines?"
"I did it," Jiang Ran admitted. "I just came down from up there and was about to tell those psychics not to go up there tonight. I've put puppet strings up there, so sharp they could probably cut a hair... I hadn't told you yet, and you came and climbed straight up. What can I do then?"
The girl's explanation sounded quite reasonable. Zhang Minxin choked and didn't want to argue with her: "Catch him!"
Jiang Ran touched the watch on his wrist and sneered: "If you are so unreasonable, then I will not be polite."
The veins on the man's forehead jumped. "You're welcome? An ordinary person? Ha."
Seeing that Zhang Minxin was really going to take action, Pei Xiao, who was watching the show on the side, frowned and walked straight towards Jiang Ran.
"Wait." Chu Yuan grabbed Pei Xiao and pulled him back two steps. "Look, this rain..."
The moment the psychic reached out and touched Jiang Ran, the raindrops around the girl suddenly stopped and instantly solidified into ice, forming a transparent wall around the girl.
"Water-based abilities?" Isn't this woman an ordinary person? What's with water-based abilities?
Inside the wall, Jiang Ran was also stunned for a moment, then turned his head and looked around.
The psychics who were ordered to capture Jiang Ran looked at each other and raised their hands to smash Bing Qiang.
The fist, condensed with supernatural power, smashed into the ice, and the ice wall shattered with a crash. However, the broken ice pieces did not fall to the ground, but instead ricocheted directly out, like bullets, crackling and hitting the members of the supernatural team.
The change came too suddenly, and the unprepared psychics were caught off guard by the ice blade and dodged everywhere.
Among them, Zhang Minxin had the highest level of supernatural power. The moment the ice blade attacked, he activated his metal-related supernatural power and directly pulled a piece of iron plate to block in front of him.
“Crack, crack, crack!”
After a series of collisions, the ice blade did not penetrate the iron plate and slid down as water droplets.
Zhang Minxin put down the iron plate and moved his unconscious arm without leaving any trace - the impact of the ice blade was far stronger than he expected. Although he was not stabbed, half of his body was knocked unconscious by the impact.
Who...
The man held his special power and looked vigilantly for the attacker's hiding place.
"Si Xu!" The unharmed girl on the opposite side waved her hand and walked in the rain to the other side of the street.
Zhang Minxin looked over.
The young man stood in the rain. Although he didn't hold an umbrella, he didn't seem wet at all.
He frowned and looked at him, his peach blossom eyes, which should have been full of charm, were filled with surging coldness and murderous intent.
However, when his gloomy gaze returned to the girl running towards him, it was instantly replaced by a gentle smile.
"Jiang Ran." He called the girl's name in a wronged tone, opened his arms and hugged the person who rushed over to him. "It's raining so hard, why did you run out alone?"
