Chapter 181
“Good!”
Naturally, Chase had no problem with Lin Ran’s proposal, and immediately opened the door to the room.
As the door to the room was opened, Lin Ran and the three of them immediately felt a strange coldness that poured over them.
This coldness was not at all the effect of the wind, but seemed to be an eerie icy chill, as if the air had mixed with some kind of substance to produce something like the icy air of a morgue.
“This …. How did this place become so eerie, I just can’t stand it anymore, I’ll go out first, you guys take your time and watch!”
Chase said and hurriedly ran out of the room.
“Is it that scary?”
Song Nuan said in amazement, she really didn’t feel anything.
“You’re a female, born with the Yin attribute, it’s normal for you not to feel this kind of Yin cold Qi!”
Lin Ran said.
“Ao!”
Song Nuan nodded her head, still not quite understanding, in fact, what exactly it meant.
The two searched through the room, the room’s furnishings were displayed, not much different from when Lin Ran had just left, but what surprised Lin Ran was that the entire room, whether it was the bed, the table, or even the floor, did not have a bit of dust on it, as if someone cleaned it every day.
“Chase certainly wouldn’t be so diligent, this room must have been visited before and stayed for a short period of time!”
Lin Ran spoke up.
“Someone has been here? Who could it be!”
Song Nuan asked, the person who could touch this place obviously knew Lin Ran very well and knew that he had stayed here before, so what was the purpose of the other party coming here?
“That’s the point, if we can find out who the person who came is, a lot of mysteries might be uncovered!”
Lin Ran said.
“Mysteries?”
Song Nuan was puzzled, what mysteries she didn’t know at all.
“Have you forgotten? The person behind the five poisons, I suspect that the person behind the five poisons, is probably the same person as the one who wants to murder!”
Lin Ran said.
“Then find out if you have any clues!”
Song Nuan urged.
Lin Ran nodded and whirled around to check it out.
The entire room hadn’t changed much from when Lin Ran left, only a few small details were different, Lin Ran looked through the changes, but found nothing out of place.
“Could it be in the bathroom?”
Song Nuan asked.
“Not necessarily, go check it out first!”
Lin Ran said, and instantly walked towards the washroom.
The entire inside of the washroom was pretty much the same as usual, and Lin Ran still didn’t have any luck after checking it out.
“What now!”
Song Nuan was a little discouraged, and just then, Lin Ran suddenly thought of something and said.
“Do you still remember when you took a shower here and the gla*s in the bathroom could be made up to be transparent!”
“You ….”
Song Nuan smiled and her pretty face suddenly turned red, how could she not remember.
The last time she took a bath here, the gla*s ended up being made transparent by the water mist, the key was that this guy Lin Ran was actually ….
“Suddenly say this why, is it that you regretted last time and did not look at it for a while longer!”
Song Nuan glared at Lin Ran and asked.
“How is it possible, I am that kind of person?”
Lin Ran was helpless, and immediately turned the bathroom faucet to hot water to catch a basin, following it and splashing it on the gla*s.
As the gla*s was wet, the transparency on top of the gla*s instantly changed, turning from gross gla*s to transparent at once.
“What is this!”
Suddenly, Song Nuan exclaimed out loud.
Lin Ran looked up, only to see that on the not-so-large piece of woolen gla*s, there were actually four patterns primed, which looked very strange!
“What is this thing?”
“It’s a person!”
Lin Ran said with a frown.
“People? How can it be so small!”
Song Nuan was puzzled.
“It’s a paper man! It’s been split into five pieces: head, body, arms, and legs!”
Lin Ran said word for word.
“Then what the hell is he up to!”
Song Nuan asked, vaguely feeling that things were a bit bad, I’m afraid.
Lin Ran frowned and said a moment later.
“This is a paper man demanding my life, the other party wants me dead!”
“Who the hell is it!”
Song Nuan asked with a frown, following which she responded that Lin Ran didn’t even know who it was, so how could he answer him.
“So what now?”
Song Nuan asked afterwards.
“First break his game!”
Lin Ran said, while carefully snapping off all the few pieces of shredded paper on the gla*s.
“Why is there hair on this!”
Song Nuan got close and frowned as she looked, on top of each piece of paper, there was obviously human hair that looked very striking.
“This is my hair!”
Lin Ran said.
The paper man claiming his life was actually a form of witchcraft, he had combined my hair with these four pieces of paper to make a puppet-like object as a way to inflict harm on me.
“You’re talking about the kind that ties puppets?”
Song Nuan asked, she had never seen this kind of method Lin Ran was talking about, but she had often seen the witchcraft of tying puppets on TV, and it was quite similar to this.
“More or less!”
Lin Ran nodded, and immediately took out the fire engine and burned the paper figure and hair to the ground with one hand.
“Then how come nothing happened to you at all?”
Song Nuan asked in amazement, Lin Ran hadn’t changed much lately either, he was pretty much the same as before and could not see any signs of persecution at all.
“That’s because I’m in good health!”
Lin Ran laughed lightly, in fact he knew in his heart that it was mainly because of the mouthful of true qi in his body.
This mouthful of true qi was obtained from inheriting the Xuan Yang Pharmacopoeia, just like the Qi of Heavenly Blessing obtained by his ancestor who travelled the world and practiced medicine in the world, so how could a mere paper-tied man’s little witchcraft hurt him.
“Less stinky, what now!”
Song Nuan gave him a blank look, then asked.
“What else can I do, let’s leave first, this paper-tied man is completely useless to me! The murderer shouldn’t come back.”
Lin Ran said.
“Isn’t there any way you can find him directly? It’s a hard feeling to be watched by a bad guy behind your back!”
Song Nuan said.
“No!”
Lin Ran shook his head, the other party was obviously not an amateur, or at least knew something about the art of feng shui, to do such a thing had obviously wiped any traces clean, I’m afraid it would be very difficult to find.
Seeing Song Nuan’s worried face, Lin Ran laughed and said.
“Don’t be anxious, a horse will always reveal itself, respond to all changes with no change, we will definitely be able to catch him!”
“Okay!”
Song Nuan was helpless, even the person in question was so calm, what was there for her to be anxious about, and even if the other party’s target was herself, this wasn’t still this personal bodyguard protecting her all the time, she wasn’t worried.
The two of them left the rental house and then chatted with Chase for a few minutes, explaining that he would inform himself first if there was any situation, and then Lin Ran took Song Nuan and left.
But just as the two were about to drive out of the city village, suddenly Lin Ran actually stopped the car.
“What’s wrong?”
Song Nuan asked in confusion.
“Look over there!”
Lin Ran gestured for Song Nuan to look at the roadside in front of him, where a black luxury car was parked.
“Isn’t it just a luxury car, you’ve seen less here?”
Song Nuan was surprised, this urban village was part of the demolition area, everyone in the village was a profiteer, luxury cars could be seen everywhere, there was nothing strange about it.
Lin Ran shook his head and said.
“No, this license plate number, it’s exactly the same as what Liu Wenlong’s siblings said, that guy must be around here!”
Chapter 182
“Look, someone’s coming over!”
Suddenly, Song Nuan opened her mouth and shouted, Lin Ran looked, and indeed found a man burrowing out of a thin crack in the middle of two residential buildings.
He was wrapped in a trench coat, and although it was already autumn, this costume was still very eye-catching, and the first time Lin Ran saw it, he actually felt that this person’s figure was very familiar.
“Stay in the car!”
Lin Ran didn’t have to think much about it and gave an explanation, followed by jumping out of the car and rushing directly towards the other party.
“Hm?”
The other party was very sharp, and when they noticed Lin Ran, they immediately abandoned their car and rushed towards the lively city village in the distance.
It was already late in the day, and the other party was wearing a windbreaker, so once he rushed into the darkness of the crowd, he lost sight of him, and Lin Ran could only chase after him with a rough sense of what he was doing, but luckily he was better than the other party, so he didn’t lose him.
The two of them ran wildly all the way, the other party kept looking for a crowded place to run, but in the end, they found that they still couldn’t shake off Lin Ran.
“D*mn it!”
Cursing angrily in his heart, the man in the windbreaker ran directly towards a residential building under construction on one side, and in two or three steps, he rushed straight to the top of the building.
Since it was an under-construction urban village, the distance between each residential building was very small, and after Lin Ran followed and rushed up in, he immediately noticed that the trench-coated man was already weaving quickly through the roofs of the buildings, crossing over the roofs of one under-construction house after another and running wildly towards the distance.
“Trying to get away!”
Lin Ran’s heart snapped and he immediately chased after him.
Although he was not a practitioner by birth, but inheriting the Xuan Yang Pill Canon had changed Lin Ran’s body so drastically that today’s Lin Ran had long since ceased to be one of those practitioners.
Two triple leaps and soon, Lin Ran had caught up with the man in the windbreaker. It turned out that after this guy ran to the top of a residential building, he found that he had reached the end of the village ahead and that there was no building at all as there was flat land ahead.
“Who the hell are you!”
Lin Ran chased him to this point and barked a question.
The other party turned back, his face covered with a black cloth, so he couldn’t see his face at all, but the pair of cold eyes between the slits was a look that made Lin Ran’s face sink.
“Who the hell are you!”
Lin Ran once again chided, these eyes he had definitely seen somewhere, and more than once, but how could he not recall them now.
In fact, it wasn’t Lin Ran’s fault, after all, if he really bumped into them on a normal day, the other party would never have such icy eyes, at this moment this icy coldness was definitely hidden on a normal day.
“You will know! But not now!”
The other party’s voice was hoarse, Lin Ran could hear that it was deliberately pinching his voice, not his own voice at all, obviously the other party was afraid that he would recognise it.
“You think you can still get away!”
Lin Ran’s face turned cold, his eyes narrowed slightly as he lunged at the man in the windbreaker.
However, the other party was prepared for this, and at the same time as Lin Ran moved, he only saw his palm flung, and the entire drying rack next to him was flung towards Lin Ran.
The drying rack was full of women’s clothes, so Lin Ran kicked it away, but the clothes scattered all over the sky were blocking his view, and some even landed on his body.
“Stop right there!”
Seeing that the man in the trench coat had already rushed to the edge of the roof, Lin Ran didn’t care about anything else and copied the clothesline to the side and flung it towards the other party.
But at that moment, a middle-aged woman came out of the entrance of the roof in a rage, and this scene caught Lin Ran off guard.
But it was this moment of hesitation, when Lin Ran looked over again, the man in the trench coat was already jumping off the roof.
“Cao!”
Lin Ran couldn’t help but curse and followed, rushing over and looking downwards, only to see that the man in the trench coat had already slid down the wall, his figure quickly disappearing at the end of the field.
“D*mn it!”
Lin Ran punched the wall, his heart very chagrined, if it wasn’t for the sudden change of heart just now, there was absolutely no way he would have let the other party escape.
“Catch the thief! Catch the thief!”
Just as Lin Ran was chagrined, a pig-killing sound came from behind him.
Lin Ran turned to look, only to see that the middle-aged woman at the back had by now stood up and was shouting at Lin Ran.
“Stop shouting, I’m not a thief!”
Lin Ran said speechlessly.
“Still trying to cheat me, how dare you say you’re not a thief when you have so many clothes on you!”
The middle-aged woman said, then seeing what was on Lin Ran’s head, she immediately jumped and hurriedly took two steps back while blocking her hand in front of her body.
“You… Don’t you come any closer!”
“What?”
Lin Ran was a little confused, why did this woman suddenly have such a drastic change in attitude.
“Young man, I didn’t expect it, you’re not good at learning anything at a young age, but you’re actually learning this kind of nasty hobby, Big Mother I’m already over forty, you can’t let me lose my fortune late in life!”
“Auntie, what are you talking about!”
Lin Ran was dumbfounded, what was this all about, he hadn’t done anything, how could he be described like this.
“Auntie, I’m a good young man, don’t slander me!”
Lin Ran said speechlessly.
“A good young man? Is there a good young man who stays up at night to steal underwear from the roof of someone else’s house?”
Big Mother was wary to, then looked around and said with a strange look in her eyes.
“I may be charming, but it’s not appropriate for you to be here at night, your grandfather is still at home!”
“…”
Lin Ran almost didn’t throw up at his words and hurriedly said.
“Okay, okay, big mama, who are you to call me a delinquent youth, do I look like one?”
Lin Ran said helplessly.
“Very much like it!”
Big Mother said, pointing to the top of Lin Ran’s head.
“If you don’t believe me, feel it for yourself, with my underwear on your head, it’s hard to use it as sungla*ses!”
Lin Ran wiped it, and indeed, he hurriedly threw it aside as soon as he could and said helplessly.
“This just fell on by accident, you can’t be ridiculous!”
“Is that so? It doesn’t look like it to me!”
Big Mother said, while actually walking tentatively towards Lin Ran.
“What do you want!”
Lin Ran was startled and hastily shrank back. Seeing that the other party was still walking towards him, he was so frightened that he pointed to the side and said.
“Look over there! There’s someone!”
“Who!”
The aunt was startled and hurriedly turned her head to look, but she didn’t find anyone, and when she turned her head, Lin Ran was already gone.
“Hey! Where’s the person?”
Big Mother was a little confused.
Lin Ran, however, had already slid down the edge of the roof and bailed out.
Just kidding, this big lady obviously wanted to make a move, if she didn’t bolt, I’m afraid this innocent body would have to be accounted for here today.
“Luckily! Luckily!”
Lin Ran’s heart was squared away as he escaped without a hitch.
Back in the car, Song Nuan was still waiting anxiously, and when she saw Lin Ran return, she hurriedly came over.
“How did you catch up?”
“Almost, a big lady messed it up!”
Lin Ran said helplessly.
Speaking of big mothers, he remembered what had just happened.
This was really bad luck.
