The first thought that came to Ranran's mind after he completely broke free from his immersion in the sea of consciousness was that this was a close almost completely fell into the hands of others.
"So there are four psychics behind this old man." Ranran thought as she manipulated the old man to walk towards her and remove the ghost needle from her body like before.
She is now just conscious, while her body is still under the control of the ghost needle and she is completely unable to move.
A similar scene played out again, but this time the outcome was slightly different.
Last time, Ran Ran acquiesced that the old man had become a puppet similar to Jiang Yingxue, and she could manipulate him at will, so she did not take any measures against him, and even let him follow her into the elevator. But this time...
Ranran stretched out her fair and tender hand and broke the old man's neck without hesitation.
"I'm sorry, but even if you don't want to kill me, I have to kill you."
Only in this way can we completely cut off the possibility of those powerful people hiding behind the old man coming again.
"The mark... can control people who have been marked in advance. I can't be sure if this is a one-time thing..." Ran Ran withdrew his hand and said expressionlessly.
"So I can only let you, old sir, suffer."
This was the most terrifying thing that Ranran had experienced since she came down the mountain.
She had never felt this way before when facing any strong enemies, because she was still an independent person at those times.
You can think about it.
As long as a person is still thinking, she can live freely.
But when she was hit by the ghost needle, her consciousness gradually sank into darkness. She realized that she could not do anything at all. Her last thought was... she could only become a fish on the chopping board of others, to be slaughtered at will.
She lost her free will and the ability to control herself.
She never wanted to experience that feeling again.
At the moment Ranran killed the old man, a girl in the Dawn Association's base angrily threw the doll to the ground.
"Dead?! That little girl killed him so easily?! My second connection was only a moment away!"
"What a hateful girl!" She was a little hysterical. Not satisfied with just throwing the doll on the ground, she jumped on the doll and stomped on it hard a few times!
"Big fat sheep! My big fat sheep! Obviously, I can achieve great success if I bring her back! What's wrong with that girl?!"
The cell phone placed on the desk filled with dolls suddenly made a sound, and someone started calling the girl.
As soon as Shen Yin saw the name on the caller ID, all her anger disappeared in an instant, and her voice turned into a somewhat artificial shrill sound when she answered the phone.
She may not know that this sounds bad.
"Hello? Hengnan?"
Compared to Shenyin's gentleness and softness, Hengnan's tone could almost be described as violent.
"I was ejected! Hurry up and make the second connection! Do I need to remind you how important this mission is?!"
Shenyin felt aggrieved. Hengnan, as her connection object, was a secondary connection object in the old man's body.
When the connection is broken, his consciousness will be ejected from the body faster than hers.
So Hengnan probably lost contact before he could see clearly what the girl did.
He didn't know that the old man was dead, so he sounded so impatient. Shen Yin had already found a reason for him in her mind.
"The target of the connection was killed by the little girl in an instant. The current situation is... I can't restore the connection."
Shenyin was also helpless, she was even more unwilling than Hengnan.
Hengnan felt that the old man's body slipped out of his control in just a moment, which meant that his failure also happened in just a moment.
But Shen Yin was different. After Ranran took away control of the old man's body, her consciousness was still in the old man's body. She could only try desperately to restore the connection while watching Ranran suppress her consciousness and manipulate the old man.
In that brief moment, Shen Yin felt like she had become a puppet. How ridiculous! She had always been the one manipulating the puppet, and one day she would be manipulated by someone else.
It was not until Ran Ran reached out his hand expressionlessly that Shen Yin faced the feeling of death before he even had time to be afraid.
Her consciousness was ejected at that moment!
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.
"Depend on!"
Hengnan couldn't help but swear. Shenyin rarely heard him so angry, but she understood that no one would be able to accept such a thing.
It's like buying a duck at a nice delicatessen, holding it in your hand, just before you take it home and start enjoying it, but when you get to the table it suddenly comes alive and flies away...
This is too outrageous, no one will believe it if I tell them!
Now that the mission has already failed by more than half, if Lord Nian gets hold of all the circumstances, they will only be held accountable afterwards.
Hengnan's voice sounded extremely deep, "That girl was clearly hit by a ghost needle... Why did she suddenly wake up? What went wrong?"
The only thing that can control whether that girl is awake or asleep is the ghost gate needle.
Shen Yin had a guess in her mind, but she didn't dare to say it. Is there a possibility... Hengnan's acupuncture technique was not perfect, so that girl...
Hengnan also understood this. He heard Shenyin fall silent for a while without saying a word, which made him feel even more uncomfortable.
"Why aren't you talking? Just say whatever's on your mind! Aren't you just doubting that I'm not proficient in the Ghost Gate Needle technique?"
Hengnan sneered, "What a coincidence, I think so too!"
Shenyin opened her mouth, but no sound came out. Hengnan sighed and said, "It's my fault. I will go to Master Nian to accept the punishment."
Shen Yin immediately became unhappy, "Can you be more confident? Why is it that you didn't do it well? You are omnipotent!"
"You have a few skills that others will never be able to learn in their lifetime! You are already a genius! As for this incident..."
Shen Yin heard Hengnan's self-destructive tone and immediately confirmed her thoughts, "It's definitely not your problem!"
"It's that little girl who's acting weird!"
"Just think about it, at such a young age, she was able to withstand the words planted in the old man by [Bad Words]. In the entire association, there are only a few who can withstand it!"
"We underestimated her!"
Shen Yin became more and more determined as she spoke, "She must have used some means to remove the ghost needle herself!"
"Don't worry, Hengnan. If Lady Nian asks, I will explain it to her."
Non-investigation base.
Ranran laid the old man's body on the ground, and put his hands on his eyes to make him close them.
After reciting a short mantra for the dead, Ranran walked calmly into the elevator. Her expression was no different from usual.
The only difference might be that those dark and clear eyes had become colder.
The old man had no hostility towards her, and he had never used any lethal means against her from beginning to end. He just wanted to capture her for his own purposes.
What happened in the elevator afterwards had nothing to do with him at all.
An old man with a hunchback in his twilight years was the one she had just attacked.
For the first time, I killed an innocent person in self-protection...
Ran Ran reached out and touched her chest, where her heart was beating vigorously. It was generally believed to be the organ that carried emotions.
When you are happy and excited, it will beat faster; when you are depressed and sad, it will feel pain.
Ran Ran blinked indifferently, as if she didn't feel much? (End of this chapter)
