"I'm not sure either. When I woke up, they were already nearby. I heard the noise and came over first. Where are they?"
Pei Jin asked sincerely, with a slightly confused and ignorant look in his eyes, and no one could find any fault with him.
Unfortunately, Ruan Lingran would not be deceived so easily.
The lesson from the past is right in front of her. Even if he is really Pei Jin, he is now a puppet that is completely under her control. Facing such a thing, it is already a rare thing for her not to hide!
"You have to think carefully. Maybe those people are watching you in secret!"
Ruan Lingran was talking nonsense as she approached Pei Jin. She took the opportunity to act decisively, sticking a talisman on his forehead without any hesitation, and even made a slight noise.
Pei Jin's expression changed slightly.
Feeling the talisman on his head, he couldn't help but pursed his lips. He was silent for a long time before he said slowly: "Ran Ran, it is indeed me who is in front of you now."
Perhaps he realized that the talisman had no killing power, and there was a hint of helplessness in his words.
"Then why did you come here?" Ruan Lingran's expression was just a little wary.
She was a little unable to make sense of the situation in front of her.
Fang Zehuan and others had just been captured. Pei Jin might just be her delusion. Even if he showed up in person, it must be a conspiracy.
"I..." Pei Jin was thinking about how to say it. His body moved forward, and he stretched out his hand as if uncontrollably, snatching the button from Ruan Lingran's hand.
Ruan Lingran quickly put him back into the space with a calm expression, as if there was a hint of coldness in her expression.
"What do you want to do?" Ruan Lingran asked coldly.
Those words made Pei Jin's eyes look a little more dissatisfied, but those emotions were fleeting. He seemed to be in great pain, his body curled up slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable.
"Stay away from me."
Pei Jin uttered these words with difficulty, his forehead covered in sweat, and his originally straight body could only fall to the ground with difficulty.
Seeing this situation, Ruan Lingran did not get closer as he said, but walked a little further away cautiously.
There was no one they could trust here.
If you want to survive, you have to protect yourself!
After waiting for a long time, Pei Jin's struggle finally stopped.
Ruan Lingran took out the talisman paper and placed it directly on Pei Jin's body. A hint of worry flickered in her dark eyes. Then she took the initiative to extend her hand: "How do you feel now?"
"He's been temporarily confined to a very small space. We don't have much time."
Pei Jin was concise and to the point.
"He and Little Apple teamed up to control me. He's been secretly observing you all the way. He probably needs to press a button."
He could only express his guess.
"The others have been captured now." Ruan Lingran said this without thinking.
Now, she is alone here. It would be a good thing for her if Pei Jin could stay here safely and accompany her.
"How could that be?" A hint of doubt flashed in Pei Jin's black eyes.
"Since there is another person, I suspect he should know, but..." There was a little more worry in Ruan Lingran's eyes.
If you want to ask, you have to let the black shadow out, and then Pei Jin's body will be occupied by him again.
"It doesn't matter. We don't have much time left. Just complete what needs to be done."
Seeing Ruan Lingran's entangled and struggling expression, Pei Jin tore off the talisman paper without hesitation.
The face that originally had a gentle smile gradually disappeared, and was replaced by an overly cold face. Seeing this scene, Ruan Lingran was sure that someone had been replaced.
The Five Elements Cage almost flew out of nowhere, trapping the black shadow here.
"I just have something to ask you. We should be considered partners now, right?" Ruan Lingran brought it up directly, her eyes frank, as if she was still a little thoughtful.
These words made the shadow's face even colder, and he asked directly: "Are we still people who can cooperate?"
"I saw a powerful black ball here. It turned into Pei Jin's appearance. The dark energy on its body is even more intense than yours."
Ruan Lingran directly shared what she knew with him.
The black shadow, who had originally had a nonchalant expression, instantly gnashed his teeth, anger surging in his dark eyes, and then he understood a little more: "I see, I see, I said, even if that little bastard had the ability, he couldn't become like this!"
He roared, and the power around him quickly radiated outwards, obviously venting his anger.
"Damn it!" The black shadow was lost in his own emotions.
After he had scolded her enough, Ruan Lingran pressed on, "So, can you tell me now?"
"That is the source of dark power!" the black shadow said bluntly, the anger in his tone still not dissipated.
"I came here chasing that dark force. It was inexplicably attracted to it and became the virus known to your world."
Such an explanation made Ruan Lingran's eyes suddenly turn cold.
In other words, those operations of Country M really made them a big success!
"Your human malice nourishes this power, which is why it grows ever larger. As for this city in the sky, it is merely the last cage left behind by a loving mother."
"I can feel the power here slowly weakening. It won't be long before all the dark forces will surge down. You will all be doomed."
The black shadow occupied Pei Jin's body and said this almost with a gloating look.
However, his outward emotional release was also very obvious, with a bit more urgency.
Since this thing has already developed its own consciousness, he will definitely not be a match for this origin.
Instead of wasting time struggling here, it’s better to just get away.
I have to find my body and then escape...
"You haven't left yet, which means you have a reason why you can't leave. Let's work together. I'll help you and you'll help me." Ruan Lingran said, looking at him steadily.
When the black shadow heard this, he found it extremely funny. His body was shaking, and after a long time he managed to stop smiling, with tears coming out.
"You can't even protect your own companions, why should I believe... that you are qualified to negotiate with me?"
No matter how miserable he was, at least he could escape.
"Just based on this." Ruan Lingran directly took out the talisman in her hand and looked at him steadily: "I can keep you trapped in Pei Jin's body until the moment we die."
She never discussed with Black Shadow, but asked him to do it!
