In the front seat of the car, Rong Yingying suddenly said, "Of course, I've been in Capital Star for a short time and I'm not very familiar with this place. Do you have any recommendations for restaurants with a better environment?"
"The environment is good..." Yu Ran understood what she meant, "Then let's go to the Garden Restaurant."
The car soon arrived at the Garden Restaurant.
Lu Zexuan remembered that he and Yu Ran had been here before. He didn't think too much about it at the time, thinking it was just a normal meal, but now thinking back carefully, Yu Ran asked him to have dinner on the weekend after the Gemini Palace banquet. On the night of the banquet, the Gemini Palace was suddenly surrounded by the Investigation Department...
Yu Ran has admitted that he stole the information from the Sentinel Academy, and Zhu Tianyi happened to be looking up the information at that time. So, it is very likely that Zhu Tianyi found some clues and went to Gemini Palace to arrest Yu Ran that night.
But Yu Ran was very smart, he realized something was wrong and hid the information, so Zhu Tianyi failed to catch him. So the following weekend, Yu Ran asked Lu Zexuan to have dinner at the Garden Restaurant, and then passed the information through the Garden Restaurant
In other words, the Garden Restaurant is one of the bases of the Dark Night Organization
Lu Zexuan sorted out the clues before and after, and remained calm on the surface, but his grip on Yu Ran's hand tightened slightly.
Yu Ran noticed his worry and wrote on his palm: "It's okay, the mission is not completed yet, they won't do anything to me."
The three of them walked into the restaurant together, and Lu Zexuan saw the waiter from last time.
Yu Ran asked, "Are there any private rooms?"
The waiter said politely, "Yes, please come this way."
He brought the three of them to a glass house. The scenery there was indeed beautiful. Through the transparent glass house, one could see the flowers blooming all around, and even the air was filled with the fragrance of flowers.
Rong Yingying looked around excitedly, and then said, "By the way, I'm going to the bathroom first."
Yu Ran said, "I want to go too. The bathroom is over there... Sister, let me take you there." He stood up and took two steps, then turned back to look at Lu Zexuan and said with a smile, "You order first, we'll be back soon."
Lu Zexuan: “…Okay.”
Seeing Yu Ran and Rong Yingying leaving side by side, Lu Zexuan clenched his fists tightly under the table - will Ranran be in danger
Thinking of the so-called "high-level officials" that Ranran was about to face, Lu Zexuan's heart tightened slightly.
Yu Ran and Rong Yingying came back in less than five minutes. They looked calm. Lu Zexuan pretended to know nothing and handed the ordered dishes to Yu Ran for review: "Take a look. Is there anything else you want to add?"
Yu Ran smiled and said, "You ordered a lot. It's enough for the three of us."
The restaurant served the food very quickly. Yu Ran ate his meal calmly. Lu Zexuan cooperated with him and took the initiative to pick up food and peel shrimp for him. Rong Yingying had been observing them quietly.
After dinner, Lu Zexuan took the initiative to pay the bill, and the three of them left the Garden Restaurant. The hovercraft drove onto the aerial highway and headed towards the center of the capital star.
Lu Zexuan was wondering why Yu Ran didn't meet with the top leaders of the organization. The next moment, Yu Ran suddenly wrote quickly on his palm: "She gave me an anesthetic. Hide the secret in your mental picture as soon as possible."
As for the secret of a group of special agents of the Falcon Legion, my father had the golden eagle and the falcon seal them in the deepest part of the snow mountain. Even an S-level guide cannot easily break through that barrier.
Lu Zexuan can hide other memories by himself.
Suddenly, heavy snow fell in the sentry's mental picture, and deep in the endless snow-capped mountains, another snow-capped mountain rose up silently.
Lu Zexuan said to Bai Ying in his mind: "Someone may come to check my mental picture later. Try to act like you like Fox very much."
Bai Ying said: "No problem, this is a true performance!"
Lu Zexuan held Yu Ran's palm to show that he was ready. The next moment, he felt a slight numbness in his arm, and an extremely thin needle accurately pierced into his blood vessel. A strong sense of drowsiness came over him, and Lu Zexuan quickly passed out.
Rong Yingying saw this scene in the rearview mirror and a strange smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
The car turned around in front and drove back to the Garden Restaurant.
In the secret basement of the Garden Restaurant, Yu Ran saw the masked man again.
The man sat on the chair, motionless, but the pair of eyes behind the mask stared straight at Yu Ran.
The light in the room was dim, and most people would be frightened when suddenly seeing the ferocious bronze mask, but Yu Ran remained calm and bowed to the other party very respectfully: "You sent Yingying to find me, do you have any instructions?"
The masked man's voice was mechanized and sounded dull and hoarse: "Of course, it's to check the results of your mission during this period - how much medicine did you feed Lu Zexuan?"
Yu Ran said: "The Falcon Special Forces has been out for less than a week. I brought him water every day and fed him ten pills."
The masked man said without any emotion: "I heard that in order to save him, you ignored your own safety and rushed over in the airship without hesitation. Could it be that you have fallen in love with this handsome General Lu?"
The story of Yu Ran risking his life to save others had already spread, and everyone said that he had a deep affection for General Lu.
Yu Ran sneered, glanced at the unconscious Lu Zexuan, and said, "How could I possibly have feelings for these strong-limbed, simple-minded sentinels? Lu Zexuan looks good and has a good figure. If I were really interested in him... wouldn't it be more interesting to make him my puppet, listen to me obediently, and be my slave?"
The masked man nodded in appreciation. "Not bad. Guides are the most intelligent species in the entire universe. You have strong mental power and should not let stupid sentinels interfere with your judgment."
He waved his hand gently, and two people suddenly walked out from behind the curtain.
—It is Ms. Adeline, the owner of the Gemini uterus, and her "faked-death" twin brother Andre.
Yu Ran raised an eyebrow and looked at them.
Adeline smiled gently: "Long time no see. I was being watched by the Investigation Department some time ago, so I couldn't contact you."
Andre frowned and said, "Yu Ran, we can't completely trust you. After all, you are too good at acting. You successfully deceived Lu Zexuan and Zhu Tianyi, so there is no guarantee that you will not deceive us. Therefore, the master hopes that my brother and I can work together to examine your mental picture."
Two identical orchid mantises appeared in front of Yu Ran.
Yu Ran looked at the masked man and said sincerely, "I was swept to the Ruler Seat by a cosmic sandstorm and was seriously injured. You saved my life. I know how to repay a favor. Since I have joined the organization, I certainly have no second thoughts. If you have any doubts, feel free to check."
He closed his eyes calmly in front of his brother and sister.
The next moment, Adeline and her brother simultaneously extended their white thought tentacles, and two orchid mantises forcefully invaded Yu Ran's spiritual world.
The mantis, which is usually only the size of a palm, suddenly becomes several times larger in the mental image, like a giant battle mecha, jumping around and searching in the primeval forest.
Yu Ran's mental picture was too big, with countless lush green trees rising into the sky, lush flowers and plants on the ground, and vines entwined with each other, with no visible borders at all. But the Adeline siblings were not pushovers either, both of them were S-level guides, and they were also twin siblings who had a tacit understanding...
The two mantises searched the forest quickly, like a gust of wind.
They discovered a nine-tailed fox deep in the forest. Its nine red tails were like blazing flames, enough to block out the sky and the sun.
Adeline's voice rang out in Yu Ran's spiritual world: "Doesn't your nine-tailed fox know how to transform? I want to see it with my own eyes."
Andre said: "It is rare for an S-level spirit to evolve the ability to transform. We also want to broaden our horizons."
Yu Ran said calmly: "Of course."
The next moment, the nine-tailed fox suddenly disappeared, and a very cute little white fox appeared in its place, which was less than one-tenth the size of the mantis.
Andre whispered, "Change back again?"
Yu Ran chuckled: "Okay."
Countless red flames suddenly shot up into the sky, and a dazzling fire exploded in the depths of the forest. The nine-tailed fox used its powerful invisibility ability to silently cover the little white fox in an instant, and then appeared in front of the two mantises.
The two mantises were almost scared away by its fierce momentum.
Yu Ran said modestly: "My fox is very aggressive, but unfortunately my healing ability is only B-level, which is barely a passing level among S-level guides. I can't compare with the two professional healers."
There is no doubt that the attack guide also has basic healing abilities. Yu Ran personally demonstrated the nine-tailed fox's "transformation ability" in front of the two of them, and even the suspicious Andre could not find any faults.
The two mantises continued searching in the primeval forest and saw many memories of Yu Ran's past - these were all mental illusions that Yu Ran had created in advance. Since he was going to join the Dark Night Organization, the fake identity must have a complete experience, starting from his childhood memories, and all the memories must be coherent.
The brother and sister didn't know that from the moment they entered Yu Ran's spiritual world, they were quietly led into a spiritual illusion.
No one expected that Yu Ran would have two S-level spirits, whose mental strength had reached SS, and could handle the joint search of the brother and sister with ease.
The two men did not have the patience to search every inch of the vast primeval forest. After checking around and finding nothing wrong, they retreated.
Adeline nodded to the masked man, who then smiled and said, "Since you are willing to join us, the organization will certainly not treat you unfairly. It all depends on your performance. I hope you can complete the task of controlling Lu Zexuan as scheduled."
Yu Ran nodded and promised, "Don't worry, you asked me to deal with him within three months, and there is still half of the time left. I will definitely complete the task. He has no defenses against me now, and all he wants is to fall in love with me. He will not doubt anything I ask him to eat."
The masked man said appreciatively, "Very good."
Adeline and Andre looked at each other, then forced their way into Lu Zexuan's mental picture to check.
The unconscious sentinel's defense was not high, and the two S-level guides joined forces and quickly broke through the surface barrier and arrived at the foot of the snow mountain.
The endless snow-capped mountains before them startled the two men.
Between the snow-capped mountains, a huge white falcon was circling and flying, muttering: "Woo, woo, woo, the little white fox is so cute, when can I be with it, when will you marry Yu Ran..."
Lu Zexuan, who was in a coma, seemed to be dreaming, and a dream bubble appeared in his mental picture.
In the bubble, Lu Zexuan hugged Yu Ran and kissed her gently, while the white eagle flew into the sky with the little fox. The "family of four" lived a happy and harmonious life.
Adeline and her brother: “…”
As expected, he is a love-brained person and is completely controlled by Yu Ran.
The two mantises looked at each other, changed color to blend into the snow scene, bypassed the dream bubble, and quickly jumped into the depths of the snow mountain.
The endless snow-capped mountains are majestic and magnificent. Between the snow-capped mountains, there are bubbles of memories about Yu Ran everywhere, from the two people meeting and getting to know each other, to later falling in love with Yu Ran...
Lu Zexuan remembered every detail clearly.
The two guides could clearly sense the strong desire to protect Yu Ran.
—Memories can be false, but emotions cannot. It seems that Lu Zexuan really likes Yu Ran
The two mantises quietly retreated from Lu Zexuan's mental image.
The S-level sentinels were very alert. They could not leave any traces in the mental picture, so before exiting, the two healing guides considerately repaired Lu Zexuan's mental barrier and erased all footprints in the snow-capped mountains, as if nothing had happened.
When Yu Ran saw the two guides forcibly invading Lu Zexuan, his heart tightened. He was worried that Lu Zexuan would be exposed, and even more worried that these two people would hurt Lu Zexuan. However, he remained calm on the surface and looked at Lu Zexuan as if he was looking at a dead person.
Until the two mantises retreated, Yu Ran breathed a sigh of relief, but with a smile on his face: "How is it? Is the mental picture of the S-level sentinel very broad? It is not so easy to directly destroy the snow mountain and control him to become our puppet."
Adeline nodded and said, "You must control the dosage and seize the moment when he is about to go berserk. Destroy his image and capture his spirit before he goes berserk. Once an S-class sentinel really goes berserk, it will become an uncontrollable factor and the experiment will fail."
The frenzied sentinels will attack everyone like crazy. What the Dark Night Organization needs is not a crazy Lu Zexuan, but an obedient General Lu. Therefore, they need to use drugs to destroy Lu Zexuan's self-consciousness and make him a puppet.
Just like Rong Yingying, she looks like a normal person, can walk, laugh, and talk... But her brain has lost the ability to think, and she can only do things according to instructions. Even if the organization asked her to kill her mother, she would do it without hesitation.
Yu Ran looked at the masked man and said, "Don't worry, I will bring an obedient Lu Zexuan to see you."
He glanced coldly at the unconscious Lu Zexuan and said, "Can we go now? I'm worried that if we take too long, he will get suspicious."
The masked man waved his hand, and Rong Yingying turned around and left with Yu Ran and Lu Zexuan.
***
When Lu Zexuan woke up, he found himself sitting on a hovercraft with his head resting on Yu Ran's shoulder.
The scenery outside the window had not changed much from before he fell asleep, as if the hovercraft had been driving towards the city center all the time, nothing had happened, and he was just too tired and took a short nap.
Lu Zexuan felt a chill down his spine - this organization was so terrifying that they could kill people without them even noticing.
He pretended to know nothing, rubbed his temples gently, and looked at Yu Ran: "Why did I fall asleep?"
Yu Ran smiled and said, "Are you too tired recently? It's okay, if you are tired, just sleep for a while."
Lu Zexuan said, "Well, I'll take a nap for a while. Call me when you get there."
He leaned defenselessly on Yu Ran's shoulder and rested with his eyes closed.
Rong Yingying, who was sitting in the front row, saw this scene in the rearview mirror and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, but she didn't know that in a place she couldn't see, Lu Zexuan was holding Yu Ran's hand tightly.
Ranran, thank you for your hard work in dealing with these crazy people. All I can do is to cooperate with you to the best of my ability.
