Chapter 70, What Are You Afraid of?
Let her stay in the same room with a corpse all night?
Zhou Jian panicked and crawled to Qiao Qiao's side, grabbing her clothes: "Qiao Qiao, wait, wait! Can you get her outside? I..."
"What?" Qiao Qiao shook off her hand and impatiently kicked her away again. "Weren't you afraid when you killed someone? You've already killed someone, and you're pretending to be weak here. Who are you trying to show off to?"
After she finished speaking, she was about to leave. Knowing that she would not get any help from Qiao Qiao, Zhou Jian's gaze swept across the group of people watching the excitement at the door and stopped on one person.
"Jiang Yu." She spoke tremblingly, calling out to her former companion and begging, "Please help me, please..."
The main reason why she and He Ru had gotten into this mess was because of Jiang Yu.
If it weren't for him, she and He Ru would still be good sisters. She wouldn't accidentally hurt Youzi in revenge against He Ru, let alone kill He Ru by mistake.
"For the sake of our journey, please help me, Jiang Yu."
The girl begged softly, but the man just turned his face away, turned around and left without saying a word, disappearing from her sight.
She suddenly remembered that a long time ago, Si Xu broke her hand because she teased Jiang Ranran, and she felt resentment towards Jiang Ranran when Jiang Ranran refused to plead for him.
Compared with Jiang Yu who refuses to beg for mercy today, I was so stupid at that time.
She had actually been attracted by such a man before, and had repeatedly caused trouble for Jiang Ranran, almost losing herself in the process.
What happened? This man would rather sleep with a dirty woman like He Ru than even look at her, just because she wasn't as pretty as He Ru?
"Hehe, hehe..." The moment she closed the door, Qiao Qiao heard a woman's voice that sounded like crying and laughing coming from the room, which sounded creepy.
…
Zhou Jian went crazy.
After being forced to share a room with He Ru's corpse for a night, Luo Rui did not wait until she returned to the apartment the next morning to find a way to save her, only to discover that her former friend had gone crazy and no longer recognized anyone.
Xue Weixin returned to the apartment earlier than the two of them. When he heard the news about Zhou Jian and He Ru, he didn't even bother to give them a glance and directly told Qiao Qiao to let Luo Rui handle it.
Qiao Qiao waited at the door, waiting for Luo Rui to come back, and immediately told her about Zhou Jian's situation.
"...The captain said he doesn't want to see that woman again." After a brief speech, Qiao Qiao concluded, "Ruirui, you'd better send that woman away."
"Send away?" Luo Rui smiled bitterly.
Where could she be sent? A crazy woman, worse than an ordinary person, who would be willing to take her in?
After Qiao Qiao left, Luo Rui stood at the door of the room where Zhou Jian was locked up, without moving for a long time.
"Ruirui." Knowing his girlfriend's inner struggle, Xie Chengzhi held her hand and whispered, "Leave it to me."
Luo Rui choked up: "Chengzhi, Zhouzhou is my best friend. We have come a long way, and it is so hard for us to be together..."
"I know, I know everything." Holding Luo Rui in his arms, Xie Chengzhi stroked her hair and said softly, "She made a mistake now. Everyone who makes a mistake must pay the price for their mistakes."
Luo Rui buried her cheek in his arms and said nothing.
"Leave it to me. You don't have to feel any psychological burden. Ruirui, don't be sad."
Luo Rui nodded, agreeing to his proposal.
…
He Ru's body was thrown outside the city wall, and Zhou Jian was taken away from the apartment by people arranged by Xie Chengzhi.
Before leaving the apartment, the girl grabbed the corner of Luo Rui's clothes and smiled silly like a child seeing a relative she could rely on.
Luo Rui's vision gradually blurred. She held back her tears and pushed Zhou Jian's hand away.
Zhou Jian was dragged out of the apartment and thrown into a slum far away from the psychic's apartment.
The moment she left the apartment and the door closed, she still persevered in reaching out to her former friend, hoping to find redemption in her hands.
…
After sleeping until noon, Jiang Ran got up and fried two dishes with the ingredients he took out from Si Xu's space. The two of them had a simple lunch and prepared to go out to visit the base.
While Si Xu was cleaning the dishes in the kitchen, Jiang Ran was thinking about her decision last night, swinging her legs as she waited for the man to come out.
Not knowing what the girl was thinking, Si Xu washed the dishes and put them in the cupboard. As soon as he stepped out of the kitchen, a gun was put at his back.
"Don't move." The girl lowered her voice and chuckled twice, "Si Xu, your special ability is useless to me. Now, I want to turn over and be the master, hey!"
The man didn't turn around, but laughed meaningfully: "Turning over and becoming the master?"
"Hmph." Jiang Ran said proudly, "Don't move, I need to think about it."
Si Xu chuckled: "What are you thinking about?"
"Think about how to turn over." Jiang Ran muttered, "I want you to wash my clothes and cook for me during the day, and warm my bed at night. If you don't want to, I can punish you~"
"Jiang Ran." Si Xu said seriously, "You are so confident that you can turn things around?"
"I can negate your superpowers." Jiang Ran's almond-shaped eyes curved into crescents. "You don't have superpowers, and I have a gun in my hand. You..."
Before she could finish her words, the hand holding the gun was grabbed by the man. Before she could understand the man's intention, she felt dizzy. After a "bang" sound in her ear, she was thrown to the ground by the man over her shoulder.
Jiang Ran: “…”
"Jiang Ran." He controlled his strength and placed one hand behind her head to prevent it from touching the ground. Si Xu bent his knees and straddled her, looking down at her. "Do you still think that your ability to neutralize superpowers is a powerful skill?"
It hurts all over my body, especially my back and waist. It feels like my bones are broken and it hurts so much.
Jiang Ran stared blankly at the young man so close to her, the corners of her mouth twitching uncontrollably. In the man's gaze that showed no hesitation or guilt, she burst into tears.
She was just joking with him, but he actually threw her to the ground with an over-the-shoulder throw, which he used to deal with enemies.
Yesterday, he was whispering those sweet words in her ear, saying that as long as he had it and she wanted it, he would give it to her...
Big liar!
Over the shoulder throw... He threw her over the shoulder without showing any mercy, and after that he questioned her...
She tried hard to get close to him and understand him, telling herself over and over again that as long as she liked it, it didn't matter whether he liked it or not.
Tell yourself over and over again.
However, his over-the-shoulder throw shattered all her self-comfort.
Even if he cared about her a little bit, he would never throw her over his shoulder without mercy!
The more I cry, the more wronged I feel.
The little girl's initial "wa wa" sound turned into a sobbing "wu wu" sound, her face was covered with tears, and her shoulders were shaking. She looked very pitiful no matter how you looked at her.
Seeing that she had been crying for a long time and had no intention of stopping, Si Xu said in a cold voice: "Jiang Ran, don't cry."
Startled by his low tone, Jiang Ran fell silent reflexively. The breath stuck in her chest and she couldn't swallow it, and she began to hiccup non-stop.
"Jiang Ran, if you cry again, I will kill you." It was still a threat.
The light brown eyes stared at her gloomily, and the murderous intent within was undisguised and fixed on her.
Jiang Ran didn't even dare to burp. He pursed his lips tightly and said nothing.
Si Xu asked her: "Afraid?"
Jiang Ran nodded hurriedly.
"Can't you negate supernatural powers?" He sneered, "What are you afraid of?"
What are you afraid of? Jiang Ran blinked away her tears, her mind still blank. For a moment, she didn't understand what his question meant.
