nChapter 28

nAs though he knew that he couldn’t help, while also wanting to avoid danger as much as possible, during the entire check of the bottom of the late, Lu Xin’s reaction to that sudden change and the excavation of the corruption source by the three investigation team members, Qin Ran stayed on the shore. He even found cover and peeked out from time to time to see their progress.

nAnd now, when he saw that the people at the bottom of the lake suddenly stopped moving and turned their heads toward the shore at the same time, he slowly stood up as if he was also very concerned about the result, waved his hand forcefully, and shouted, “Did you find anything?”

nThen, he saw Lu Xin and the three members of the investigation team slowly walking toward the side of the lake.

nThe three members of the investigation team were holding their guns tightly, and their eyes, under the glass cover, seemed very nervous.

n“What’s wrong?”

nQin Ran looked at Lu Xin and the three members of the investigation team as they came over and also saw their standing position. They vaguely surrounded him. Born in the wilderness, he was very sensitive to such actions. Immediately, he cautiously asked them what was wrong.

n“Who are you?” Lu Xin asked slowly while looking at him.

nQin Ran was puzzled. “What do you mean by that?”

nIt could be seen that at this time he was actually puzzled and completely unable to understand.

nIn the channel, Corporal Han Bing’s voice rang out, “We suggest telling him directly and observing his reaction!”

n“Agreed!”

nChen Jing said in a cold voice, “Investigation team, stay on alert!”

n“If you’re Qin Ran…”

nLu Xin slowly spoke and turned back to look at the bottom of the lake. “Then, who’s the corpse we dug up?”

n“What corpse?”

nQin Ran’s face looked a little unnatural as he asked slowly.

n“We found the source of corruption, it was a corpse!”

nLu Xin seemed patient as he explained carefully, “That corpse, it’s you…”

nQin Ran looked a little dazed as he gulped.

nLu Xin continued, slowly asking, “So, if you have long been dead, then who are you now?”

nAs he asked that question, thoughts also anxiously ran in his head. He remembered his every move when he saw Qin Ran. He saw this guy eating continuously while sitting in his office, as though he could never be full. He also saw him take his gun out and point it at people immediately without a word. He also remembered the basement where four people were held. The corpses there seemed to be more than expected.

n“No… that’s impossible…”

nQin Ran paused for a while before mumbling, “If-If you dug me out, then who… who am I?”

nLu Xin just looked at him quietly.

nThe three members of the investigation team, on the other hand, gripped their guns harder at this moment.

nIn the distance, under rows of spotlights, the city guards guarding this area did not make a single sound, creating oppressive silence.

nThere was only the red moon in the sky. Its light shone brightly like red silk threads hanging down.

n“I…”

nQin Ran looked even more flustered, as though he was asking for help. He looked at Lu Xin. “Brother, tell me, who am I?”

n“He’s very similar to those fruits…”

nOn one side, Lu Xin’s palm was cold. His sister pulled his palm.

nHearing that, Lu Xin also immediately reacted.

nWhen he was fighting with the black shadow on that “strange tree”, he already discovered that those black shadows were very familiar.

nBut at that time, he didn’t pay attention to it, let alone associate them with Qin Ran.

nUntil now, he suddenly remembered. Those black shadows, all looked very similar to Qin Ran.

nIt seemed that those black shadows, whether tall or short, fat or thin, all gave Lu Xin a feeling of familiarity. That was because their vague facial features and movements were like Qin Ran’s. There was just a variety of tall, short, fat, and thin Qin Rans!

nHowever, the more it was so, the more he couldn’t tell Qin Ran who he really was.

n…

n“I am… I am…”

nAnd under the countless gazes around him, Qin Ran suddenly became a little crazy. His adam’s apple rolled and he shouted twice, but his voice was mute, and suddenly, he ran towards the lake like he was crazy, and all the guns around him suddenly followed him with a clatter and swing. But Chen Jing gave no orders on the channel, so every gun just pointed at him but did not fire.

nAll eyes watched as Qin Ran rushed to the bottom of the lake, next to the corpse.

nThey watched him stare fiercely at the corpse’s face and then suddenly wailed, seeming to have gone crazy.

nHe suddenly shouted, “Fake, all fake, it’s all you guys trying to hurt me…

n“I knew that after entering the High Wall City, nothing good would happen…

n“You guys are trying to harm me…”

n“…”

nAs he shouted, he suddenly kicked hard at the corpse, and then rushed towards the other side of the lake in big strides.

nNot far away from the other side of the lake was the high wall.

nHe actually rushed directly toward the high wall, as if he wanted to escape over the wall.

nHis figure at this time looked especially weird, and he ran faster and faster.

n“Capture him alive!” Chen Jing ordered sharply.

nThe three members of the investigation team immediately raised their guns and aimed at Qin Ran’s legs.

nBut at that moment, gunshots rang out from atop the high wall.

nThe surroundings were already filled with soldiers. There were also soldiers on the high wall. They watched Qin Ran rush towards the high wall. Especially when his speed was extraordinarily scary, they stopped hesitating and opened fire at the crazy Qin Ran.

nWith a poof, Qin Ran’s sprinting body flopped to the ground.

nHe struggled two more times, then never moved again.

nWhen Lu Xin and the three members of the investigation team saw this, they immediately waved their hands and rushed towards the high wall. When they approached Qin Yan’s corpse, they saw that he had been shot twice in the chest and blood was gurgling out. He was obviously no longer alive. It seemed that this “source of corruption” was unexpectedly easy to clean up. But everyone’s hearts were filled with endless questions.

nIn fact, in the end, he would have preferred to see Qin Ran become a monster. That way they could at least explain some things. But Qin Ran did not. He just seemed a little crazy at the end, and his running speed was also a little extraordinary…

nIn fact, if one recollected properly, they wouldn’t even know whether his extreme speed was just an illusion.

nThis time, they were even more confused.

nIf the source of this corruption was Qin Ran, then what about the people who sought revenge on Qin Ran before?

nAnd when Lu Xin’s mind was full of thoughts, he felt his palm being shaken by someone. He lowered his head and saw his sister looking at Qin Ran’s corpse curiously. After subconsciously sweeping his gaze towards it, he was suddenly shocked. He saw that Qin Ran was still bleeding profusely. His blood stained a patch of the ground blood-red, but he bled as though he had an infinite amount of blood. As he bled, his corpse was getting dried out.

nHis body became stooped, his appearance became withered, and, in a short period of time, he looked completely different.

n“Who is he?”

nLu Xin was taken aback and alerted the investigation team.

nThey also noticed the change and hurriedly took pictures and sent them through the electronic device on their arms.

nOn the channel, a sound of flipping through documents and information soon rang out.

nImmediately afterward, Han Bing’s voice that simply could not hide her surprise rang out, “This is… this is Cui Wang!”
