Chapter 71, His Intention
The little girl blinked her tearful eyes, looking aggrieved and pitiful.
"If I were the enemy." Si Xu remained unmoved, his voice still cold. "Jiang Ran, after neutralizing my superpowers, do you think you can defeat me with the gun in your hand?"
Jiang Ran shook her head - she was just joking and had never thought of actually defeating him...
"Are you happy after defeating that fourth-level gold-type mutant?"
Jiang Ran nodded.
"You think you can defeat him mainly because of your special abilities?"
Jiang Ran nodded again.
"You're wrong, Jiang Ran." Si Xu sneered, "You were able to defeat him because he's an idiot. After being indoctrinated into believing you were just an ordinary person, he subconsciously believed that ordinary people couldn't be a match for someone with superpowers. He didn't take you seriously from the beginning, which is why he gave you this opportunity."
Jiang Ran blinked her tears and didn't reply.
"You defeated him not because of how powerful you or your abilities were, but because that guy was careless. Do you understand?"
"But..." Jiang Ran defended herself softly, "That's because my ability is so unexpected..."
"Unexpected?" Si Xu twitched his lips in disappointment. "Jiang Ran, why can you be so unexpected?"
"Because..." Because that guy didn't take her seriously.
Realizing that the problem had turned back, Jiang Ran silently shut up.
She began to understand what Si Xu wanted to express.
"Jiang Ran, in this world, especially in today's world, most people who are careless have died. Those who survive are those who struggle and value their own lives above all else." Si Xu said, "People like me, Chu Yuan, Gu Yunqing, Su Qin... Even if the opponent is an ordinary person, we will not take it lightly."
“…”
"Want to try it, Jiang Ran?"
"W-what?"
"Try and see if what I said is right."
“…”
After picking her up and putting her on the sofa, Si Xu went out alone and soon came back with Gu Yunqing and Su Qin.
"Jiang Ran, come here."
Hearing him calling her, she lowered her head and walked to Si Xu.
"Aqin." Si Xu looked at Su Qin, who looked puzzled. "Jiang Ran is your enemy now. Use your special ability to attack her."
Su Qin was confused: "Seventh Brother, what did you say?"
She took two steps back and hid behind Gu Yunqing: "Seventh Brother, did you have a fight?"
Jiang Ran's eyes were red, obviously she had been crying - it was fine for these two to quarrel, but why did they have to embarrass outsiders like them!
"No." Si Xu said, "Do as I say."
Su Qin hesitated, and Gu Yunqing gently pushed her on the waist: "Go ahead, Si Xu said, just give it a try, but be careful not to hurt Ranran."
Since her boyfriend said so, Su Qin had no choice but to go forward.
Si Xu patted Jiang Ran's head: "Now, Su Qin is your enemy, go ahead."
The two men stepped aside to make room for the girls.
Not understanding what Si Xu meant, Su Qin wanted to finish it quickly, so she took out two seeds, which grew into green vines and rushed towards the girl.
She is a wood-type mutant, and the vines, stems and leaves she grows have been strengthened by her supernatural powers and are as hard as a sharp blade.
She thought that as long as Jiang Ran couldn't handle it, she would immediately put away her special ability - if she hurt Jiang Ran, she was afraid that Si Xu would throw her into the laboratory to be an assistant to the workaholic Chen Yao.
It’s scary to think about it.
A few steps away, Jiang Ran did not hide.
The moment the vines attacked, she raised her hand and grabbed the green vines.
Gu Yunqing, who was watching the show, exclaimed in surprise.
He didn't even dare to grab the vines strengthened by Su Qin's supernatural power with his bare hands. If Ranran grabbed them like that, could his fair and tender hands be saved?
But before he could express his opinion, he saw the vine withering rapidly from the part that Jiang Ran was holding.
Gu Yunqing widened his eyes in astonishment: "This is..."
On the field, Su Qin was also shocked by this scene - Ranran dissolved her supernatural powers?
Taking advantage of the girl's surprise, Jiang Ran drew his gun and pointed it at her.
Her movements were quick, but the moment she raised her hand, Su Qin's movements were even faster.
She didn't even see Su Qin's figure clearly, and the girl had already flashed to her side.
She grabbed her wrist and, with a little force, twisted her gun-holding hand behind her back.
Grabbing the girl's hand holding the gun, Su Qin, who always believed in quick decisions, bent her knees and bumped into Jiang Ran's knees. When she stumbled and fell, she pressed her to the ground.
"Enough." Seeing the little girl's face wrinkled in pain, Si Xu called out to stop.
Su Qin quickly jumped two steps away, trying to help Jiang Ran: "Ranran, are you okay? I hit you a little too hard."
This was the training she received - if she attacked, it would be best if the blow was fatal.
When facing Jiang Ran, she deliberately used less force, but it would definitely still hurt.
One step faster than her, Si Xu stepped forward and picked up the little girl horizontally.
She curled up in his arms, her eyes red and she sniffed softly.
Si Xu's voice became much gentler: "Do you know what the problem is?"
Jiang Ran nodded.
Si Xu patted her shoulder and whispered, "Okay, cry if you want to."
After being beaten twice, Jiang Ran felt pain in every bone of his body: "..."
Not caring about the other people in the living room, she leaned on Si Xu's shoulder, sobbing softly, and smeared her snot and tears on his clothes.
Gu Yunqing, who had been out of the situation from beginning to end, felt like he had been fed dog food again. He leaned over to Su Qin's ear and whispered, "I feel like we are just tools. We can leave now."
Su Qin agreed.
Ranran cried so miserably, she must have been hurt by her.
While Brother Seven's attention is not on them, they should retreat quickly, otherwise they will be in big trouble and be punished by Brother Seven later.
Seeing that Si Xu had no intention of giving them a chance, Gu Yunqing hooked Su Qin's finger and prepared to slip away.
"Today's matter."
As the two reached the door, they heard Si Xu's low voice.
"Don't tell anyone else."
Gu Yunqing made an "OK" gesture: "Don't worry, we have it in mind."
Previously at the rest stop, Jiang Ran discovered those mutated spiritual plants. He felt strange, but thinking that Si Xu was there, he didn't ask any more questions.
Judging from Jiang Ran's performance today, she seemed to be able to ignore all attacks and influences from superpowers.
If such a magical power were to be heard by the Shen family, it would be another conspiracy.
After all, what the Shen family needs most now is the ability to invalidate supernatural powers - if the Shen family wants to deal with Si Xu, Jiang Ran will be the most useful weapon.
…
Jiang Ran cried for a while, and the depression and grievance in her heart faded away. She leaned on Si Xu's shoulder and whispered: "Si Xu."
The little girl seemed to have stopped crying. Si Xu's fingers were entwined with her black hair, and he replied, "I'm here."
"Give me a tissue." She cried too ugly, and he couldn't see her. Jiang Ran refused to look up, lying motionless on his shoulder, "Hurry up."
Si Xu Yiyan took out a tissue and handed it to her.
Jiang Ran wiped his face carefully and regained his vitality.
She crawled to the side from Si Xu's arms, knelt on the sofa, placed her hands on her knees, straightened her back, and looked directly at Si Xu.
"Si Xu, let's have a good talk."
No, even though she knew he was doing it for his own good, she was still very angry when she thought of his over-the-shoulder throw.
