Tu Ran watched the scene coldly, raised her foot and kicked his waist, but there was no response.

Dead as hell.

Tu Ran kicked him again and turned his body over. He faced away from her and took out a dagger from the space. She half-knelt down and inserted it into the back of his neck, then took out the inner elixir with ease.

After wiping off the blood, Tu Ran threw it directly into her mouth.

There were the sounds of footsteps outside the window. Someone was coming. Tu Ran stepped over Xie Zhao, leaned against the wall, and carefully opened one eye to see what was happening outside.

It was a group of people dressed in pioneer costumes.

The reinforcements Xie Zhao called for turned out to be pioneers.

Tu Ran saw several familiar faces inside. Among them were Min Tao and Xiao Di, with whom she had carried out missions in the Pandalin area before. Also included were the second-generation pioneers she had led for a few days, Shen Yunhe, Le Qin and others.

Tu Ran, who originally planned to use the reinforcements called by Xie Zhao to practice his newly acquired supernatural powers, struggled for a while but decided to let them go.

Tu Ran jumped out of the window and disappeared with a whoosh.

The crowd who only saw Tu Ran's afterimage: "..."

Xiaodi: "Did someone just pass by?"

Min Tao: "It seems... it's Tu Ran."

Xiao Di hesitated, "Should I chase him?" Although it was obvious that he couldn't catch up.

Min Tao thought for a moment and said, "Chase him." If he didn't chase him, he would have no way to explain to the commander-in-chief. He turned around and called a few people, then ran in the direction where Tu Ran left.

Shen Yunhe did not follow. He looked at the window where Tu Ran had just jumped out, then looked at the place where Tu Ran disappeared, and took the lead in entering the stairs and running upstairs.

The rest of the group followed him upstairs.

There was a thump-thump-thump sound of boots stepping on the stairs. When everyone went upstairs, the first thing they saw was a dead body lying by the window.

The wound on the back of the neck was bloody.

They've seen a lot of these wounds lately.

The inner elixir was dug out.

From his clothes, they couldn't tell who this person was.

They received an order from the commander-in-chief to go to the black market and capture the rebel Tu Ran.

No other explanation was given other than that, and even Zero, who had been in charge of all their affairs, was missing today.

No one was used to the absence of Zero and was a little confused at the moment.

Shen Yunhe put the submachine gun behind his back, walked to the corpse, squatted down, grabbed the clothes at the shoulders and waist of the corpse, and turned the body over.

The moment the face of the corpse was revealed, everyone gasped, even Shen Yunhe remained half-squatting and forgot to stand up.

Tu Ran killed two heirs of the Xie family!

Their commander-in-chief, who just left office, is dead!

"I'll go contact the commander-in-chief," Le Qin took a deep breath and calmed herself down as quickly as possible. "Leave some people to guard here, and the rest will go after Tu Ran. We must... catch her." Her voice was a little weak.

Catch Tu Ran? How is that possible? Tu Ran is not someone they can control now. It is enough for them not to be targeted by Tu Ran.

…

Tu Ran has left the black market.

Following the map sent to her at noon, she found the hovercraft parked in the backyard of a prosthetics shop. She sat in the cab, looked at the various buttons in front of her, recalled what she had learned before, started to operate, and soon drove the hovercraft smoothly into the air.

The hovercraft was easy to operate after it was launched into the air. Tu Ran freed one hand to untie the skull on her head and threw it on the passenger seat. She was sweating all over and turned on the refrigeration device of the hovercraft. The temperature quickly dropped and the sweat on her head solidified.

While dodging other hovercrafts on the road, Tu Ran contacted Xie Xu using the communicator.

Xie Xu answered the call quickly.

"Where did Ling go?" Tu Ran asked directly.

"Xie Zhao modified the program and temporarily stopped some functions. It is now being restored. I will contact you in half an hour."

Tu Ran moved the steering wheel and barely avoided a red car that was racing at night. The owner of the red car blew a horn and scolded her, "Do you know how to drive?" Tu Ran ignored him and concentrated on driving her own car, neither too fast nor too slow, focusing on stability. "Xie Zhao is dead."

There was a pause, "I know."

"Xiaojiu told you?" She noticed Xiaojiu when they were fighting, and squatted at the doorstep with a bowl of noodles, watching the fun without thinking about making trouble.

"Yes. He called me half an hour ago and said you were under siege and needed support."

Tu Ran recalled the scene half an hour ago. All her long-range attack abilities were sealed. It was indeed dangerous. She couldn't help but sigh, "Xie Zhao is really amazing."

Xie Xu: “Yeah.”

Tu Ran shook her head. "If I were a little weaker, I wouldn't be able to beat him."

Xie Xu: “…”

"I'm going to go find your father now."

Xie Xu: "...You don't have to report everything to me."

Tu Ran lowered her eyes and glanced at the operating screen. There were no other cars on this road. She increased the speed level and lowered the window a crack. The wind blew in, blowing her medium-length hair. "I'm informing you. There is also something that is difficult for me to understand. Xie Zhao treats you well, and you have shown a good relationship in the past. It is unreasonable for you to ask me to kill him. I need to know the reason."

Previously in Wanle Temple, Xie Xu agreed to her killing Xie Heng, obviously to pave the way for Xie Zhao. Once Xie Heng died, Xie Zhao would be the quasi-heir of the Xie family.

This is also consistent with the memory of Xie Hong that she read at the Sankar Arsenal.

In Xie Hong's memory, Xie Zhao and Xie Xu have been inseparable since childhood. Although the three sons of the Xie family do not have the same mother, the brotherhood between Xie Zhao and Xie Xu is far better than that between Xie Heng, and they even have a sense of sympathy and dependence on each other.

But now, Xie Xu personally put Xie Zhao's life in her hands.

The inconsistent behavior made her feel that Xie Zhao’s death was not that simple.

Xie Xu concealed some things, and these things should have been told to her.

Xie Xu was silent for a long time, with doubts and temptations coexisting, "You haven't read my memory?"

Tu Ran tightened her grip on the steering column and suddenly realized something.

Xie Xu did deliberately hide something from her.

All of her supernatural powers were read when she just walked out of the threshold, and those supernatural powers must have been transmitted to Xie Xu's ears through certain channels.

He knew that she had the ability to read memories, so he suspected that she had already read his memory. In order to verify this, he deliberately concealed some things in order to observe her reaction.

Tu Ran sneered, "I haven't had any contact with you recently, how can I read your memory?"

"What about before that? In the underground space, when I was training you."

At that time, they fought in close combat and their fists frequently touched each other.

"No, I was studying hard at the time."

There was a brief silence on the other end of the communicator. I didn't know whether he believed it or not.

"You can also modify my memory and control my thoughts." Xie Xu's voice was very soft. He obviously did not expect Tu Ran to have so many strange and bizarre abilities.

The moment he learned about these abilities, he immediately reflected on whether he had ever let down his guard in front of Tu Ran, allowing her to take advantage of him. He also took out his work diary to compare his current behavior and goals with those before he met Tu Ran.

He carefully identified every detail and did not find anything unusual. Everything was progressing slowly according to plan.

Tu Ran knew that Xie Xu was talking about the "Realm of Illusion". She had indeed used the "Realm of Illusion" on him once, at the Sankar Arsenal. One purpose was to eliminate his witness of her supernatural powers, and the other was to change his subconscious defense against her and make him believe her.

At that time, I was worried that Xie Xu was too smart and that using my supernatural powers too obviously might arouse his suspicion, so I didn't dare to make any big moves.

So she was confident that Xie Xu was still not sure whether she had used the "Realm of Illusion" on him.

"Modifying memory is not as easy as it sounds." Tu Ran operated the hovercraft to land on the ground, turned off the engine, leaned back in the chair, and took a temporary rest while waiting for Zero to recover.

"Everyone's brain is equipped with a self-consistent logic system. If you rashly modify a certain memory, a series of loopholes that cannot be justified will appear later. The loopholes will be higher or lower depending on the strength of a person's logic system. If you are a smart person, you are more likely to notice loopholes and infer the cause and effect of events through loopholes. I won't take such a big risk."

So she only quietly guided his subconscious mind. The subconscious mind is originally illusory and has no basis, so it would not be so easy to be discovered.

As for modifying his memory, she did not make a detailed revision, but instead cut out a portion of his memory of watching her fight with Zhao Yan, to keep it simple and easy.

The remarks about her so-called logical system were made up by her on the spot, without any basis. They were purely based on her personal understanding after using the "Realm of Illusion" for such a long time. It was well-written, and Tu Ran gave herself a thumbs up in her heart.
