"Tonight is really interesting." Lin Ran returned to the room and took off his shoes while saying: "A high-level executive of the Blood Temple and a high-level executive of the Sem Empire were actually bumped into by us."
Mary said: "Sem's senior management?"
"Yes, that Gabriel is definitely a member of the royal family, and his status is not low." Lin Ran said: "Considering this guy's age, his strength is quite good, but he obviously lacks the temperament that has been on the front line of the battlefield.
, his operational experience is not particularly sufficient, but he has become the captain of such an important special forces force, what does it mean?"
"It means there is someone above him." .??.
"Yes." Lin Ran said, "Everyone is studying with the prince."
"Prince?"
"It's just a metaphor." Lin Ran said: "Actually, I was not so sure about his identity until the vice-captain stood up and openly asked me to apologize to him. Only then did everything become obvious."
"Then let them go dog-eat-dog. The Blood Temple will not give up." Mary said.
Lin Ran stretched out his hand and patted the back of Mary's head gently: "Not bad, the little head has become smarter."
Mary didn't run away.
She didn't know why, but after just spending a whole day with Lin Ran, she already felt close to him in her heart. And Mary was sure that this feeling of closeness was definitely not just due to the other person's life-saving grace.
.
"What do we need to do?" Mary said: "Continue to live in this tomorrow's building?"
"Next, that Gabriel will probably come again." Lin Ran said: "Let's wait here. Besides, once the matter is resolved, the building will be lively tomorrow."
Mary responded softly, then picked up a change of clothes and prepared to take a bath.
However, when she was about to enter the bathroom, she turned her face and said, "This time, there are many witnesses."
Lin Ran laughed: "Why, are you going to kill all these people?"
"No." Mary said, "But if they are found by the Blood Temple, they may betray you."
"It's not important." Lin Ran smiled: "I'm waiting for them to come."
Mary then closed the door, and soon the sound of rushing water came from inside.
Lin Ran didn't dwell too much on the sound of water. He walked to the window and looked at the night sky outside, his eyes brightening a little.
It seems that because the mystery in this area has been solved, the starry sky has reappeared. At this moment, the galaxy hangs high above the head, which is extremely spectacular.
This starry sky is so touching.
Lin Ran kept looking up, his eyes filled with obsession and yearning.
After a while, Mary, who was wearing a nightgown, came out and saw Lin Ran standing outside the window. She also walked over gently and stood side by side without disturbing him.
"Doesn't it look good?" Lin Ran said, "It makes me feel dazzled."
"It's beautiful." Mary's eyes also reflected stars: "But... I thought I rarely looked up before."
She always believed that she belonged to the darkness and had no chance of light in her life. Even the light of the stars could not shine on her.
"See more in the future." Lin Ran said: "There are many beautiful scenery in this world, don't always miss them."
"Yeah." Mary responded softly.
Obviously, this time, she must have listened.
"What are you thinking about?" Looking at Lin Ran's look, Mary took the initiative to ask for the first time.
"I was thinking..." Lin Ran sighed softly and said, "There are so many stars in the night sky, which one is the Blue Star?"
Mary felt that the man next to her had many sides. Sometimes he was flamboyant, and sometimes he was melancholy and sad. Especially now, he gave people a very different feeling than usual. He would never comfort others.
Mary inexplicably wanted to comfort him at this moment.
So, Mary said softly: "The blue star must be the brightest one."
Lin Ran said: "Look, you are ignorant. Blue Star is not a star. It does not emit light and is not visible to the naked eye."
Damn straight man!
Mary pursed her lips and said, "I'm going to bed."
After saying that, she lay down on the big bed for the second time, still occupying only a small half of the space.
Lin Ran stood at the window for a long time, staring at the stars, with a faint orchid fragrance lingering in his nose.
And Mary didn't sleep either, she kept looking at him.
When the latter turned around and was about to make the floor, Mary closed her eyes.
…………
Another dreamless night.
For Mary, this kind of down-to-earth sleep where all defenses were removed made her feel cherished. The nightmares she had in the past would never happen again.
When he woke up, Lin Ran had already cooked the noodles, and the aroma filled his nose.
"Go and wash up quickly, and then eat." Lin Ran said.
At this moment, Mary's hair was fluffy, and a shoulder strap slipped from her fair shoulders, exuding a sexy flavor that didn't belong to a doll.
"Okay." Mary lifted the quilt, but this time, she remembered the embarrassing scene yesterday and pulled down the hem of her nightgown in advance.
While eating the fragrant ** egg noodles, Mary asked: "Where are we going today?"
"What do you think?" Lin Ran said, "You can go out, or you can stay here."
Mary thought for a while: "Anything is fine."
This girl never talks much, and it was very rare for her to take the initiative to ask questions just now.
"Then we'll wait here." Lin Ran smiled and said, "Someone will come to us."
For the whole day, Lin Ran kept reading the news and getting familiar with the situation of the Seim Empire, while Mary continued to practice her exercises to heal her injuries.
The news that the danger in Tomorrow Building has been lifted has spread, and people who want to rent a house have lined up in the lobby on the first floor.
This depressed building will soon be bustling again.
In the evening, a commercial vehicle parked downstairs, and Colonel Gabriel, dressed in casual clothes, jumped out.
He looked up and looked for Lin Ran's room and found that the lights were on, so he said to his two special forces soldiers: "Wait for me here while I go upstairs."
………… ??
When Gabriel went upstairs, he found that Lin Ran's door was ajar and not closed at all.
Just as he was about to push the door open, Lin Ran's voice rang out: "The door isn't locked, just push it open and come in."
Gabriel immediately went in and smiled: "I feel more and more that you are an interesting person."
"Don't say that, I think you are quite boring." Lin Ran shook his head: "You even came to the door specially. If you have anything to say, you might as well just say it."
Gabriel looked at the small one-bedroom apartment and said, "You two, do you live in such a small place?"
In his opinion, Mr. Serpi Zhao and that girl are both top-notch in strength. They are so capable and would have to be raised by any force. Why do they live here?
Also, do they two...sleep in the same bed?
Since he was impressed by Mary's appearance before, Gabriel's mind couldn't help but focus on this aspect.
Lin Ran chuckled: "Well, it can't be compared with your palace."
Gabriel's expression was a little frozen, and he said helplessly: "Don't make random guesses."
"I checked all the public members of the royal family today, and there is no Colonel Gabriel's name." Lin Ran smiled: "You are obviously an officer, but your personal resume is listed in the public information of the Seim Empire Military Department.
I can’t find a single word, so what does this mean?”
After hearing this, Gabriel's eyes narrowed slightly: "This is the meaning of my coming here."
"So, you are here to win people's hearts?" Lin Ran asked with a smile: "It is absolutely impossible for me and my sister to be used by the Sem Empire."
"Make a friend." Gabriel said, "I've booked a restaurant."
"We're just waiting for your dinner. We didn't even buy any food," Lin Ran said.
Gabriel laughed, and he suddenly felt that his mood was much better.
When they arrived at the restaurant, Gabriel got down to business.
"Before the Blood Temple was cultivating the spiritual source of power, the reason why someone disappeared every two months was because the source of power had not grown up yet, and the appetite was still relatively small, and it took a lot of time to digest a meal. For a long time...and recently, this source of power has reached the state of a teenager. Not only has its appetite increased, but its power has also increased accordingly."
This is all information that Lin Ran knows.
Now, the invisible source of power has been completely swallowed by Xiao Hei, and all its attributes have been transferred to Xiao Hei's body.
Now Xiao Hei can become "little transparent" anytime and anywhere, but it can't last too long.
"Who is that Vasani?" Lin Ran asked: "The daughter of the Lord of the Blood Temple?"
Gabriel was silent for a moment, and then said: "An illegitimate daughter."
His silence, in Lin Ran's opinion, was worth pondering.
And little Mary on the side was lowering her head to eat, and the hand holding the spoon also paused lightly.
Lin Ran shook his head and couldn't help but feel that the hatred was a bit too great.
He beat up the daughter of the lord of the Blood Temple and even captured her and gave it to the Sem Empire. Can the lord of the Blood Temple let him go?
"What did she do in the Sem Empire?" Lin Ran said: "After all, even if she is an illegitimate daughter, she can use bleeding arrows, which shows that she is valued by her father. Such a person, far away from the base camp, must
The purpose of lurking disguised as a secretary must be very insidious."
"We haven't gotten much news yet." Gabriel shook his head, looking a little helpless.
"Have you not completely pried open the other party's mouth?" Lin Ran chuckled: "I knew that as soon as you heard that the other party was the daughter of the Lord of the Blood Temple, you didn't dare to use the Blessing of Ten Thousand Insects."
If that poison was given directly to Vasani, would we still be afraid that she wouldn't speak up?
Lin Ran really felt that the Sem Empire's ability to handle cases was too worrying. If she were to interrogate this woman for a night, Lin Ran would definitely be able to find out how many ex-boyfriends she had!
"The Blood Temple is also a first-rate force, and some international relations have to be taken into consideration." Gabriel ignored Lin Ran's sarcasm, but said: "After all, many people will use this as an excuse to criticize me, and even..."
"Even what?" Lin Ran asked.
"I even received a lot of pressure to hand over Vasani's interrogation work." Gabriel said: "But now, I have been resisting these external pressures."
Lin Ran smiled and said, "I think all this pressure comes from your brothers and sisters in the royal family, right?"
After hearing this, Gabriel's expression froze.
Lin Ran smiled and said: "As the illegitimate son of an emperor, it is not easy to save your life. It is almost impossible to make a comeback."
Gabriel shook his head helplessly: "You can even guess these?"
"PS: I recommend this crazy new urban book "The Unparalleled Strong Man" by the urban master. It's passionate and exciting, and you'll enjoy it to the end! It's absolutely beautiful!"
