Ranran felt horrified. The man was not looking at her unconsciously. He really felt that she was looking at him!
The moment this thought popped up in Ranran's mind, the man in the blue-black vortex slowly curled the corners of his was smiling at her!
Cold sweat broke out all over my body uncontrollably.
The smile on the butcher's face gradually deepened, and then Ran Ran saw him move his lips.
Because they were far away and the butcher deliberately lowered his voice, Ranran couldn't hear what he was saying, but she seemed to understand his lip movements.
"I have an additional discovery."
Ran Ran broke out in a cold sweat.
"A fun little thing."
Ran Ran opened her eyes wide uncontrollably because the butcher took a step towards her and seemed to be walking towards her!
Is she going to fall into the hands of the Dawnbreaker Association like the [Original Material]... She is powerless to resist now...
The next second, Ranran saw the man pause. He tilted his head slightly, as if listening to the sound coming from the black and blue vortex.
Intermittent and unclear.
Ranran heard a painful female voice.
"...I can't hold on...Don't be greedy...President..."
Sure enough, the man in front of her was indeed a butcher!
The man raised his eyebrows and actually bent down towards Ran Ran, making a gentleman's bow. He pressed his slender white fingertips to his heart, and the fabric of his well-tailored suit was slightly pressed down by this force.
Standing up, he said one last word to Ran Ran before disappearing into the vortex. He said:
"We'll see you soon."
As soon as the butcher left, the effect of Ranran's [Eye of Truth] was lifted and time returned to normal.
If the Eye of Truth would only be triggered when she was in mortal danger, then the last time she faced Minister Black Tea's black airflow, the Eye of Truth only lasted for a moment, because that was the only moment of danger. But this time she was facing the butcher...
Since the Butcher appeared, [Eye of Truth] has been in effect almost the entire time. Does this mean... every second she faces the Butcher is a deadly danger...
There is such a huge gap between her and him!
Just by facing it, even if she didn't sense any murderous intent, the Terror Cave would determine that she was in mortal danger.
Ran Ran took a deep breath, and Shen Dinghai came over and asked with concern, "What's wrong, cousin? Did you overuse Xiaoyu?"
"It's okay. Minister Gao seems to have stopped now, but I don't know why..."
Ranran looked up at him, suddenly stretched out her hands and threw herself into his arms.
"What's wrong?! Don't be afraid! It's okay!" Shen Dinghai was so panicked that he didn't know how to respond.
In his eyes, Ranran has always been an independent and strong child who would choose to persevere alone no matter how difficult it was. This was the first time he saw Ranran show her vulnerability to him.
Ran Ran didn't say a word, but just gasped in his arms. She breathed heavily at the beginning, then her breathing returned to normal after a few breaths, and finally it was so quiet that no sound of breathing could be heard.
In just these few breaths, Ranran returned to her previous calm self.
The sound of Minister Gao swearing could be heard outside the bar.
"Damn it! He's possessing my body and controlling me! That scum is getting more and more sinister! If you have the guts, confront me head-on!"
Ranran immediately came out of Shen Dinghai's arms and looked at him with calm eyes.
"I'm fine, don't worry about me."
Shen Dinghai wanted to say something, wanted to comfort Ranran, but he really didn't know what to say.
My cousin wouldn't act like this for no reason. Something must have happened in that brief moment just now. My cousin must have seen it, which is why she was so frightened.
He was powerless to comfort.
Many times, if there is too big a gap between two people, their strengths, status, and what they can see are all different, all words of comfort will easily become pale and powerless.
Ran Ran and Shen Dinghai walked out of the bar, looking across the devastated living room, and saw Minister Gao standing in the room with anger. The room where Minister Hei Cha shot a small hole with the black airflow was also the room where the [raw materials] were placed.
Minister Heicha lowered his head and stood behind Minister Gao without saying a word.
Upon hearing the noise, Dr. Bai and Ding Junshan came out from the next room to check the situation. After they realized what had happened, the entire scene fell into absolute silence.
[The original material] was taken away from them, right under their noses.
Safe house… Minister Gao punched the wall heavily, and blood mixed with ice chips exploded on the wall, creating a deep hole in the wall.
"If I hadn't opened the door, this wouldn't have happened at all... I take full responsibility for what happened today."
Minister Gao suppressed his anger and resentment and said, "I will ask the president to punish me."
Doctor Bai sighed, "It wasn't you who opened the door. The other party manipulated you to do it."
"It's not your fault."
Ding Junshan also nodded quickly, "Who would have thought that they would set such a trap! Minister Gao, this is really not your fault!"
Minister Gao yelled at the wall, and after a while he turned to face everyone with red eyes.
Not sadness, but anger.
"Stop talking, I know what happened. Everything started because I was careless and looked at the surveillance footage without any precautions... If it wasn't for that, the enemy wouldn't have had a chance to take advantage of me!"
Shen Dinghai maintained an optimistic attitude, "Minister Gao, you really don't have to be like this."
"If the Dawnbreaker Association can find a way to snatch it away, the Non-Investigation Bureau can also find a way to get it back."
This made everyone stunned. It seemed... it seemed like this was the truth? So plain and simple...
Ran Ran also nodded, "Let's not worry about how the news of [Original Materials] leaked, one thing is certain."
"The Dawnbreaker Association certainly doesn't know as much about the [original material] as the Non-Investigation Bureau. When the Non-Investigation Bureau doesn't know what to do with it, it will be difficult for the Dawnbreaker Association to really use it in a short period of time, so..."
Ran Ran looked at everyone seriously, "We still have time."
Minister Gao's anger was somewhat relieved after hearing this. "But it's not as simple as you say. Can we just take it back if we want to?"
"With our experience as a non-investigation bureau as a lesson, the Dawnbreaker Association will definitely take strict precautions to ensure the safety of the [original materials]."
Shen Dinghai complained at an inappropriate moment, "The effects of various abilities are so wonderful. I think there will always be a chance even if we defend ourselves tightly."
"Isn't this safe house well-defended?"
His words caused everyone to fall silent.
Shen Dinghai finally realized that the atmosphere was not right and spoke cautiously.
"Are we really not going to care about the man lying outside the door? He is Sequence 10, right? He must have been controlled just now, which is why he attacked Minister Gao?" He forced a smile and said uncertainly, "So he is still one of ours?"
Minister Gao lowered his head and nodded, "Yes, he is Sequence 10."
Shen Dinghai breathed a sigh of relief, and then brought up another matter.
"I don't know if you noticed... the two little girls who had been sitting on the sofa are gone..."
"Did they use their own abilities to escape? After all, Minister Gao's attack was so fierce just now..."
Hei Cha and Minister Gao looked up at the same time, "Thank you, Xing En Xing!"
Ganxing Eunxing? Is it the name of the twins?
At the same time, the door of the room next to the [raw materials] was slowly pushed open.
Two girls who looked exactly the same walked out barefoot, holding hands, and each holding a big crystal ball in their other hands.
"We are here." (End of this chapter)
