Chapter 385 A Kind Brain
Zhao Lan rested her arm on the car window, her expression revealing neither joy nor anger: "What do you think?"
Zhang Yan looked at her intently, and seeing the seriousness in her expression, he couldn't help but ask, "Do you know something?"
Zhao Lan asked softly, "What do you think I should know?"
Zhang Yan was stumped by her question and remained silent for a moment.
After a long pause, he finally said, "Then what did you mean by what you just said?"
Zhao Lan smiled faintly: "It wasn't just something I said to bluff Sun Quan."
Zhang Yan didn't believe it at all: "That Sun Quan isn't stupid, how could he be fooled by your few words?"
If it were the old him, and someone suddenly jumped out and told him that she was a god in this world, he would have thought that Zhao Lan was mentally ill, and seriously so.
But Sun Quan's eyes showed no doubt, only extreme fear.
That means he must have seen or heard something that planted a seed in his heart.
When Zhao Lan mentioned it, the seed sprouted from the soil, forcing Sun Quan to believe it.
Zhao Lan sighed and stopped hiding it: "Sun Quan once opened the box and found a letter with similar words written on it."
"Letters?" Zhang Yan immediately thought of the two letters containing his information. "What exactly was written on them?"
"Sister Fang," Zhao Lan said, "do you still have that letter?"
Fang Jie: "I still have it!"
After saying that, she took out a letter from her system inventory.
Zhang Yan took it and began browsing.
[In the world of road survival, there exists a god who created this survival game. Never disobey the god's will, or you will face divine punishment.]
After reading the contents of the letter, Zhang Yan asked, "Since this letter was obtained by Sun Quan, how did it end up in Fang Jie's hands? And even if the letter confirms the existence of God, why would he believe that you are God?"
Zhao Lan explained, "Based on my understanding of Sun Quan's personality, the contents of this letter should only be known to him. Now that I suddenly say something that is similar to the contents of the letter, he has no choice but to believe it."
Zhang Yan still didn't understand: "But how did you get this letter? You couldn't have stolen it from Sun Quan, could you? If he knew the letter was missing, he would probably guess that you were lying to him, right?"
This time, it was Sister Fang who explained: "After Sun Quan got the letter, he secretly burned it. I felt he was acting suspiciously, so I picked up the ashes of the letter. I happened to have a tool for repairing items, so after repairing it, I gave it to Captain Zhao."
At that time, Sun Quan made no attempt to hide his ambition, and she naturally couldn't bear to see his scheme succeed, so she would keep a close eye on him in secret.
When Sun Quan arrived at the letter, she was delivering water to the people in the convoy and was very close to him. She immediately noticed that something was wrong with him.
So she kept an even closer eye on Sun Quan.
She witnessed Sun Quan burning the letters behind everyone's back.
After she repaired the letter, she told Zhao Lan about it.
I never expected it would come in handy today; it was worth it for her to keep an eye on Sun Quan for so long.
Unfortunately, his wicked scheme still succeeded.
Thinking of this, Fangjie looked somewhat sad.
She felt sorry for Zhao Lan.
Zhao Lan is such a good person, she shouldn't be betrayed.
Zhao Lan noticed Fang Jie's sadness and comforted her, "Fang Jie, this isn't all bad for me. At least, I've seen through some people's true colors."
It's always the same; she helps others without any limits or expectation of reward.
Even before doing these things, there might be a faint voice of opposition in one's heart, but it is quickly drowned out by a louder voice: "Zhao Lan, you are a kind person, you have the kindest heart in the world."
So, under the repeated reminders of that voice, she became more and more "kind".
Even if she suffers a loss and realizes that some people are despicable, she will never learn from it.
When she encounters someone in need of help, that voice seems to be written in her genes, making it irresistible to her.
Sometimes, she wonders, what's wrong with being "unkind" once in a while?
But she simply couldn't do it; just the thought of being "unkind" made her feel like she was committing a heinous crime.
Even if she sees through the true colors of certain people, such as Sun Quan, what can she do?
Next time, she will still be the kindest "Zhao Lan".
She helps people in need and feels from the bottom of her heart that she should help them.
She's like a puppet without her own opinions, going through the motions of so-called "kindness."
Even she herself felt a little tired of herself.
She couldn't change it, she couldn't escape it; perhaps this was her fate.
Zhao Lan's words were indeed just to comfort Fang Jie; Zhang Yan saw the deep self-loathing in her eyes.
He was somewhat alarmed: "Zhao Lan, you have to believe that there are still more good people than bad in the world. Don't lose faith in others because of a few bad apples. For example, me and Sister Fang, we are firmly on your side!"
Zhao Lan smiled and said, "I know."
Zhang Yan turned to Fang Jie and said, "Fang Jie, I'd like to talk to Zhao Lan. Could you please excuse me for a moment?"
This was the purpose of his visit to Zhao Lan.
The content of these conversations must not be made public in order to protect Sister Fang.
Aside from what just happened, Fangjie's only contact with Zhang Yan was the short day when he joined the team ahead of schedule.
Although he seemed harmless, as the old saying goes, "You can know a person's face but not their heart." Who knows why he sent me away?
She looked at Zhang Yan with some wariness, unwilling to leave.
Zhao Lan said gently, "Sister Fang, it's okay, he won't hurt me."
Fangjie didn't trust Zhang Yan, but she trusted Zhao Lan.
So she quietly went to the side.
Zhang Yan grabbed Zhao Lan's hand: "Concentrate and feel carefully."
He saw those images because he had physical contact with Lin Qian.
Therefore, he believed that physical contact with Zhao Lan would definitely cause her to see certain images, images of herself.
The moment their hands clasped, Zhang Yan saw those images again.
Zhao Lan's eyes widened in disbelief.
After a long while, Zhang Yan finally asked, "Did you see it?"
Zhao Lan was still immersed in the scene she had just witnessed and did not respond for a moment.
Zhang Yan waited patiently.
A moment later, Zhao Lan said, her face pale, "I saw that man, the man in the prophecy..."
She paused as she spoke, her whole body trembling slightly, as if she was resisting the scene she was seeing.
Zhang Yan reassured him, "Don't rush, speak slowly, I'm listening."
Zhao Lan took a deep breath and continued, but she was somewhat incoherent: "I... I saw a little mud figure... and it turned into me!"
Zhang Yan coaxed, "What else? What else did you see? Did that man grant you any abilities?"
Zhao Lan's pupils contracted. "He...he gave me his kind heart."
