"The reason why I was able to defeat Zhao Yan was simply because I was faster. I had the ability to move quickly, and Zhao Yan's reaction was too slow. So even though he had so many abilities, I still killed him... Do you remember?"
Xie Xu nodded dully.
Tu Ran curled her lips. How could she allow anyone other than herself to know what special abilities she had?
Each of her special abilities is her trump card, and who knows when it will become her life-saving trump card in a critical moment. If other people knew about it and used it against her, it would bring misfortune to her.
She would not let such a thing happen. Even if there was a slight possibility, she would prevent it in advance.
Looking at Xie Xu, who was completely confused and controlled by the hallucinogenic mushrooms, Tu Ran decided to go all out and brainwash him.
"You've never thought of killing me, have you? I know that you need me very much, and you will spare no effort to help me. As long as I ask you, you will try your best to meet my needs. You will not doubt me, and you are willing to do everything for my safety."
Tu Ran muttered shamelessly.
Considering that Xie Xu was quite smart, and such words popping up out of nowhere might arouse his suspicion, Tu Ran tried her best to make her story more plausible.
"I am a trustworthy person. Since I have agreed to be your partner, I will not easily backstab you. I am a very trustworthy person, more trustworthy than Li Wenchuan, more trustworthy than your mother--"
Oh no, what if he doesn't trust his mother? "More trustworthy than the person you trust the most, got it?"
Xie Xu nodded mechanically.
Normally, he looked down on everything, so Tu Ran was a little uncomfortable with him being so obedient.
But the goal has been achieved and Tu Ran is in a good mood.
After blowing Zhao Yan's body to pieces, Tu Ran was about to crush the hallucinogenic mushrooms when an idea suddenly popped into her mind.
Have all the surveillance cameras here really been cleared away by Xie Xu?
He was such a vigilant person, was he worried that he would be killed to silence him, so he left a surveillance video? She looked at Xie Xu suspiciously and asked tentatively: "Did you keep a record of everything that happened just now?"
Xie Xu nodded.
Old fox! Tu Ran cursed inwardly.
"Where?"
Xie Xu pointed to his right eye.
Tu Ran narrowed her eyes, leaned forward and looked at his right eye. There was nothing special about the dark blue eye. "What do you mean?"
"I have a chip implanted in my right eye that automatically records everything I want to see."
Hiss, this is a bit tricky.
"Is there any way to erase the record just now?"
If it doesn't get rid of it... I'm sorry.
Xie Xu closed his eyes and moved his eyeballs. After no more than three seconds, he opened his eyes and said, "It's gone."
"Is that all?" Tu Ran tilted her head and looked at his right eye, which was no different from before. "You are not kidding me, are you?"
"The chip storage space is limited, and the memory needs to be cleaned up in time, so it is equipped with a brain current intervention quick cleanup function." Xie Xu said.
Tu Ran sighed silently, "It's so advanced."
"Listen, you're a man of your word. You promised me not to tell anyone about what happened in the East End, so you didn't record anything with your right eye, got it?"
Xie Xu nodded.
Tu Ran crushed the hallucinogenic mushrooms with one palm and said, "Wake up."
As she finished speaking, Xie Xu regained consciousness.
He looked at Tu Ran in front of him blankly.
She was holding an inner elixir emitting silver light and looking at him without blinking.
He felt vaguely that this scene was somewhat familiar, as if he had seen a person holding something and looking at him in the same way, except that the person was smiling, while Tu Ran in front of him had no expression. But he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.
"What are you standing there for?" Tu Ran frowned and raised her hand, almost under Xie Xu's eyes, "How do we divide Zhao Yan's inner elixir?"
Xie Xu raised his hand and rubbed his temples to dispel the strange feelings.
Glancing at the inner pill, he said, "Destroy it."
"What?" Tu Ran widened her eyes and looked at him in disbelief, suspecting that she had heard it wrong.
"You don't want to give it to me, right? This kind of power is bad for whoever eats it. Let's destroy it."
After saying that, he turned and left.
He didn't care at all whether Tu Ran would secretly take the inner elixir for herself.
Tu Ran blinked her eyes. Although the words Xie Xu said were all those she had thought of in advance and were the best solutions they could think of at the moment, Xie Xu just said them so calmly without any bargaining. Tu Ran still felt a little uncomfortable.
Could it be that her brainwashing of him had taken effect?
Tu Ran agreed with this statement in her heart.
Placing the inner elixir in the palm of his hand, Tu Ran clenched his fist and launched the "Mountain Collapse and Earth Splitting" attack.
When he opened his palm again, the inner elixir had been shattered into a pool of powder. Tu Ran sprinkled it on the ground and followed Xie Xu away.
The two men came out of the east gate and ran into a group of people from the Supervisory Department.
They compared Tu Ran's appearance with the photo on the communicator and confirmed that he was the person they wanted to arrest.
"Please follow us." The leading staff member of the Supervisory Department made a gesture of invitation.
This place is at the entrance of the east gate with a wide view. The temporary rest area built by the medical department is not far away. The people from the supervision department are wearing conspicuous yellow uniforms, and many people have noticed this place.
Everyone was wondering why the people from the Supervisory Department came here?
What does it have to do with them to capture genetic monsters?
Is it such a wide range of matters?
When they saw them making a gesture of invitation to Tu Ran, they began to speculate whether Tu Ran had done something illegal or criminal, and the people from the Supervision Department followed him here.
Ding Naiqing, in particular, stretched his neck to look over here.
He couldn't even see clearly, let alone hear anything. He wanted to get closer, but Yao Bei stopped him and shook his head. "The Supervision Department is performing official duties. No onlookers are allowed."
Ding Naiqing: "...Okay."
Tu Ran stood still, "Reason?"
The staff of the Supervisory Department turned on the communicator and a picture was projected. It showed Xie Hong's death. He was lying face down, his helmet was missing, the back of his neck was brutally cut open, and blood was all over the floor.
"You are suspected of murdering General Xie Hong. You are now being taken back to the Supervision Department for further investigation."
Tu Ran and Xie Xu looked at each other, and the latter nodded slightly.
He will take care of the rest.
The crime of killing Xie Hong will not fall on her.
"Let's go." Tu Ran said, and took the lead to walk towards the special car of the Supervision Department parked not far away.
The staff from the Supervisory Department quickly caught up and surrounded her, as if they were afraid that she would run away.
After getting on the bus, Tu Ran sat in the middle seat reserved for suspects, with guns pointed at her from all sides.
The cameras inside the car have a complete coverage area, and if she makes any unusual movement, she will be shot in the head immediately.
Tu Ran was speechless.
If she wanted to run away, she would have run away long ago. Why did she take the initiative to get in the car? (End of this chapter)
