Chapter 510: Tracking Down the Mastermind
The Chain Man didn't know how many times he had been struck by the chain.In the end, he collapsed on the ground, barely clinging to life.
However, this guy was quite tough-mouthed.
Even before being beaten to death, he didn't utter a single plea for mercy.
And when the Chain Man truly lay on the ground, motionless,
Jiang Ran, after confirming the guy was dead,
directly dragged the Chain Man over to the balcony and threw him out the window.
With a heavy thud,
the Chain Man, already covered in wounds and blood all over, fell from the third floor.
His corpse became even more gruesome and horrifying.
"This body is too weak."
After discarding the corpse, Jiang Ran pulled his head back in from outside the balcony.
He stared at his own hands, thinking to himself.
Just now, he hadn't wasted any points, because there was no need in this situation.
Even though it was unnecessary, he became increasingly aware of the frailty of his current body.
"Even if I start training this body now, can it reach the limits of the body I had before crossing over?"
He narrowed his eyes, pondering.
People are different from the moment they are born.
It's not just about the family environment they're born into or anything like that.
It's more about the body, talent, and genes one is born with.
Talent and genes are real things.
For example, if you and boxing champion Mike Tyson had the exact same training conditions and everything,
could you train to become like him?
Or take the world's most popular sport, soccer.
The two most famous players currently, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
If you maintained the same training, diet, everything exactly the same as them,
could you reach their level of soccer skill?
Why not?
Because talent and genes exist.
Everyone's talent points are distributed differently.
Some people have talent points in academics.
To be more specific, your talent might be in mathematics, mine in English.
Some people have talent in sports.
Some people have talent in cooking.
Therefore, even if Jiang Ran trained his current body exactly as he did his pre-crossing body,
could it reach that level?
"Really annoying."
A trace of impatience, rarely seen, appeared in Jiang Ran's eyes.
Especially as he stared at the large amount of bloodstains in the room caused by the whipping just now.
Neighbors Over Distant Relatives live stream room.
Middle-aged Uncle: [Do you think... this is the original Jiang Ran? Or is it his alternate personality?]
Domineering Female CEO: [Feels like the alternate personality. Because the previous Jiang Ran wasn't this brutal.]
Fairy Sister: [I also think it's the alternate personality, but it's strange... This is different from the usual situations when Jiang Ran's alternate personalities emerge... Shouldn't they only come out during life-and-death crises? This wasn't a life-and-death crisis...]
I am the Hero: [Do you think there's a possibility that the previous main personality Jiang Ran was forcibly replaced by an alternate personality within him? That his alternate personality has started to seize control of the body? To occupy more time? After all, isn't that what dissociative identity disorder is all about?]
With I am the Hero's mention, the people in the live stream room who saw this scene suddenly understood.
So that's it.
Middle-aged Uncle suddenly had a bad feeling: [If that's the case, then everything makes sense. Jiang Ran's main personality went offline at some unknown time, and a certain alternate personality started managing the body. The complete annihilation of the security team is his masterpiece...]
[Then, judging by the current Jiang Ran, I have a feeling the others in Alice Apartment really shouldn't provoke him, especially whoever is buying his life...]
...
Alice Apartment.
In Room 304.
Jiang Ran spent an hour cleaning up the bloodstains and such in the room.
After cleaning up,
he pulled out his phone.
There were quite a few messages on the phone, most of them useless.
The useful ones were in the Alice Apartment group chat.
Manager Mao Li Zhishu, ten minutes ago, suddenly @'ed all members.
Attend the welcome party tonight.
Old residents can do as they please, new residents must come.
He also @'ed three people specifically.
Seeing this, Jiang Ran scrolled through his phone a bit more.
Then he went out.
He went to the neighboring Room 303.
He knocked on the door of Room 303.
Shouting loudly, "Are you in there? Open the door!"
He knocked for a full several minutes.
The door slowly opened.
And as soon as it opened, an extremely thick, heavy smell of blood wafted out from inside.
This rusty, metallic smell of blood was very pungent.
Besides that, there was also an extremely miserable man's roaring scream.
At that moment, a large hand suddenly shot out from inside the door and pulled Jiang Ran, who was outside, inside.
Then that large hand closed the door again.
After being pulled inside, Jiang Ran saw that the one who had pulled him in was Qin Kelian.
At this moment, Qin Kelian was wearing a full-body plastic raincoat.
She had just taken off the gas mask on her face.
She stared at Jiang Ran with some dissatisfaction.
But this dissatisfaction was fleeting.
However, Jiang Ran caught it.
Jiang Ran was somewhat confused by Qin Kelian's getup.
Afterwards, he looked towards the living room inside.
As if seeing something, he took a few steps forward.
And instantly understood everything.
"It seems I interrupted you?"
The corner of Jiang Ran's mouth hooked up.
With great interest, he strode to the middle of the living room, next to the silver metal execution platform.
He stared at a young man in his twenties bound hand and foot on the platform.
The young man had many shocking wounds on his body.
On the other side of the young man, another person was holding a chainsaw, rapidly and frantically cutting into the young man's body.
Flesh and blood were flying wildly, splattering onto the floor all around.
The young man let out heart-rending, lung-tearing screams.
The pain was so intense he could barely keep his eyes open.
However, when he saw Jiang Ran beside him, he still cried out to him for help.
Faced with this person's cries for help, Jiang Ran only watched coldly.
He had no intention of saving him.
"What did you come to us for?"
Qin Kelian pulled Jiang Ran to the side. At the same time, the person in full protective gear over there also stopped using the chainsaw and took off the gas mask on their face, revealing a delicate, perfect face.
It was Qin Kelian's older sister — Qin Yi.
"Oh, it's nothing much. I just wanted to ask if you know if there's anyone in this apartment who's particularly interested in me?"
"I just returned to the apartment today, got home, and encountered a hired killer trying to kill me. My life is actually only worth 2 million!"
"I don't know."
Faced with Jiang Ran's inquiry, Qin Kelian chose to shake her head decisively.
Although she appeared extremely calm on the surface, a flicker of shock still flashed in the depths of her eyes.
And that flicker of shock couldn't escape Jiang Ran's eyes. He let out a sinister laugh, "Be good, tell the truth."
Qin Kelian was frightened by Jiang Ran's demeanor and took several steps back.
The Jiang Ran before her was no longer the old acquaintance who would let her flirt and banter as she pleased.
"I, I..."
Qin Kelian didn't know whether she should reveal it or not.
At that moment, a clear, crisp voice came from the other side. It was her sister Qin Yi speaking up to answer for her.
"We really don't know who hired the killer to kill you. However, if we're talking about who in the apartment is interested in you and can also offer such a high price... there should only be that person..."
