When they went to meet the masked man that day, the manipulator behind the scenes told them to go to the "base" to meet him in two days. Yu Ran guessed that the "base" he was talking about should be one of the experimental bases of the Dark Night Organization, and perhaps it was not on the Capital Star at all.
Back then, the experimental base that my mother found was in the distant Clock Star Region, but with the "annihilation" of the Star Legion, this secret was buried for many years. As for whether they moved their position after that incident, no one knows at present.
If the "base" was really located on a remote and desolate planet, Yu Ran and Lu Zexuan would have no support and would be heading to the other party's territory alone, which would be like a sheep walking into a tiger's den. If something unexpected happened, they would probably lose their lives.
Therefore, this test is particularly important.
Yu Ran analyzed in his mind: "The Mantis brothers and sisters have already checked our mental images and found nothing suspicious. However, the big man of the Dark Night Organization is extremely cautious. He will definitely test you personally to see if you are really under my control."
Lu Zexuan asked in confusion: "What kind of test method could it be?"
Yu Ran guessed, "For example, they torture you to see if you will react. Theoretically, puppets don't feel pain." He paused, and then said, "If it's just a physical test, it's easy to deal with. I will definitely stop them."
Yu Ran didn't want his "puppet" to be harmed by outsiders, just like no one wants their toys to be damaged by outsiders. Besides, they had already decided to play the role of "mutually marked lovers", so it was reasonable for Yu Ran to rescue Lu Zexuan.
"Torture" of Lu Zexuan, this kind of low-level test method should not be the style of the Dark Night Organization.
Seeing Yu Ran's frown, Lu Zexuan couldn't help but ask, "Are you worried not only about the physical test, but also the mental one?"
Yu Ran nodded: "Yes. Mental tests are the most fatal. When a person faces the abuse of his relatives, or they ask you to kill your parents... At this time, if you lose your patience, all your efforts will be wasted."
Lu Zexuan fell silent.
The Dark Night Organization let Yu Ran control him, obviously with some ulterior motive. He had guessed before that the other party would most likely let him kill his father, take the position of the leader of the Falcon Corps, and then use him to control the entire Falcon Corps.
If such a day really comes, how should he adjust his emotions and "kill" his relatives with a straight face
Yu Ran said: "I have an idea, why don't we try it?"
Lu Zexuan immediately said, "Okay."
Yu Ran looked at him: "Don't you even ask what the solution is?"
Lu Zexuan touched his nose and said, "You are smarter than me. The method you came up with will definitely work."
Yu Ran did not deny Lu Zexuan's evaluation. After thinking for a moment, he continued, "We can share the five senses in the spiritual world. After arriving at the base, the images you see and the sounds you hear will be automatically transmitted to the spiritual world for me to know. I will process this information immediately and directly block any information that is not beneficial to you, so that your brain will not react."
Under normal circumstances, human eyes see something, signals are transmitted to the brain, the brain responds, and then the information is fed back into facial expressions and body movements. The speed of information transmission is very fast, and the brain's instinctive reaction cannot deceive people in many cases.
But now, the two of them were spiritually connected, which was equivalent to being a bystander, cutting off the process of information transmission.
For example, when Lu Zexuan saw his father die, the moment the signal was transmitted to his brain, Yu Ran would immediately block this information, so Lu Zexuan would not react in pain.
After understanding Yu Ran's meaning, Lu Zexuan praised: "Good idea. This way, I won't be able to see those scenes that are unfavorable to me. My expression and behavior will naturally not be exposed."
Yu Ran didn't know what kind of "test" the Dark Night Organization would leave for them.
This organization is so crazy that they might actually capture and kill Lu Zexuan's relatives and let Lu Zexuan witness such "mental torture". No matter how realistic Lu Zexuan's performance is, by that time, he will definitely not be able to do it without any flaws.
Unless... Yu Ran was in the spiritual world, blocking out the interference from the outside world.
In this way, Lu Zexuan can focus on acting. The information his brain receives will be filtered by Yu Ran before being passed to him. Yu Ran quickly deletes the information that is unfavorable to Lu Zexuan, so Lu Zexuan will naturally not be affected.
Yu Ran looked at him and said, "Let's try it first. From now on, we will share the five senses. You go to the bedroom and I'll go to the bathroom."
Lu Zexuan nodded, turned and went to the bedroom, and Yu Ran went to the bathroom.
At the moment when the shared five senses were established, Lu Zexuan miraculously saw the scene in the bathroom, and Yu Ran also saw the scene in the bedroom. It was as if their brains were divided into two screens, and they could see everything the other saw.
Yu Ran said: "I'll ask the nine-tailed fox to block the wardrobe in the bedroom."
As soon as he finished speaking, the wardrobe in front of Lu Zexuan disappeared.
Lu Zexuan said with emotion: "The guide's spiritual intervention is truly magical."
His eyes were clearly facing the wardrobe, but the wardrobe did not exist in his brain.
Yu Ran processed the information quickly in his spiritual world. He was a dual spiritual body, and his spiritual power was twice that of an S-level guide, so it was easy for him to process the information. But he also knew that once the two of them went deep into the tiger's den, he would have to deal with the people of the Dark Night Organization and help Lu Zexuan process the information. The consumption of his spiritual power would increase exponentially, and it was still unknown whether he could hold on.
Yu Ran cut off the sharing of the five senses, walked out of the bathroom, came to Lu Zexuan, and said, "Whether we can come back alive, infiltrate the organization, and learn the truth about the Dark Night Organization depends on this time."
His expression was extremely serious and his eyes were calm. Although he was worried about the danger he was about to face, he was not afraid at all.
Yu Ran was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "If we can't come back, what else do you want, any unfulfilled wishes?"
He knew that he shouldn't have said these things before setting off. However, once they were really exposed and executed by the organization, wouldn't it be a pity if they still had a wish that was not fulfilled
When Lu Zexuan heard Yu Ran's words, his eyebrows moved slightly, and a very complicated look flashed in his eyes. After a moment, he looked at Yu Ran and whispered: "Unfulfilled wish... I like someone very much, but I haven't had time to confess to him."
Back then, Moore and his brother clearly loved each other, but they didn't have time to tell each other, and as a result, they were separated forever, leaving behind regrets that can never be made up. This time, he and Yu Ran went to the organization's base to meet the supreme leader, and their lives and deaths were uncertain. If he really couldn't come back, the words hidden in his heart might never be spoken out, and he didn't want to take this feeling into his tombstone.
Meeting Lu Zexuan's deep eyes, Yu Ran's heart suddenly began beating violently.
He likes someone very much
During this period of time, who is the person he has been with the longest and has the closest relationship with, and who is the person he dreams about? Is there any need to ask
Yu Ran stared at Lu Zexuan in a daze. The next moment, he heard Lu Zexuan whisper, "I met that man when I was very young, but I didn't pay much attention to him at the time. Later, we passed each other at a dance. I only remembered his guidance. Many years later, we met again during a mission, and I happened to save him. Do you think this is fate?"
Yu Ran was silent for a moment, then nodded with red ears: "It's quite predestined."
Lu Zexuan gently stretched out his arms and hugged Yu Ran into his arms. The voice that sounded in his mind was extremely gentle and sincere: "At first, I was attracted to the man who pretended to be an innocent little guide. I didn't expect that it was all his acting. He had been using me. I was very angry and sad at the time. But later, after I knew the truth, I was not angry with him at all. Instead, I couldn't help but fall in love with him."
"I fell in love with the real him."
"I feel sorry for him... and I admire him."
"I want to be his sentinel and protect him for the rest of my life."
Lu Zexuan tightened his embrace, rested his chin on Yu Ran's shoulder, and said in a low and gentle voice: "Ranran, I like you very much. I want to tell you that even if we can't come back alive this time, you have to know that there is someone who likes you... and is willing to live and die with you."
His embrace was warm and strong, as if he wanted to rub Yu Ran into his body.
Yu Ran was hugged by him, and her eyes felt a little hot when she listened to his sincere confession.
Before meeting Lu Zexuan, Yu Ran fled alone on the Red Spider Star and lived with the Spider Queen for three years. He then returned to the Capital Star alone after going through hardships, received special training, became a special undercover agent, and infiltrated the Dark Night Organization.
He has always been alone all these years.
Sometimes he would think that if one day he was exposed, he might die in obscurity in some unknown corner, and even his identity as Xie Ran would not be restored.
But now, Lu Zexuan said... he liked him and was willing to live and die with him.
What a rare friendship this is.
Over the years, Yu Ran's appearance has been reshaped, his broken arms have been regenerated, and his identity has been fabricated. He is like a lone wolf, walking alone in the long night, ready to sacrifice at any time. When he made the decision, he never thought that there would be a sentinel willing to walk side by side with him.
Even live and die together.
It was as if there was finally a little warm light in the dark and cold night.
Yu Ran's eyes were moist, and he couldn't help but hug Lu Zexuan gently back. He put his face on the sentry's chest, listened to the other's strong heartbeat, and said seriously: "Lu Zexuan, I don't know what love is, and I haven't thought about it. But... Thank you so much for being willing to accompany me through life and death. I'm very happy to know you."
Lu Zexuan gently rubbed his head: "What are you thanking me for? I am your sentinel, this is what I should do."
Yu Ran vaguely recalled the dream he had on Red Spider Star. He returned to the night of heavy rain many years ago when vines stabbed his eyes and tore his arms, causing him to tremble with pain. In that desperate dream, Lu Zexuan also hugged him tightly and said, "I am your sentinel."
—Your sentinel.
These four simple words contain strong friendship.
Lu Zexuan was a reserved person. If he hadn't been going to the enemy base this time and his life or death was uncertain, he might not have told Yu Ran these things.
Yu Ran took a deep breath and looked at the handsome man in front of him. He hesitated for a moment before saying, "I hope we can come back alive this time. Then I'll give you an answer. I can't figure out how I feel about you right now, and I don't have the extra energy to think about this."
Lu Zexuan said: "I understand. I just told you that I like you very much, and I didn't ask you to respond to me. You don't have to feel psychologically pressured."
Now they were in danger, and the only hope was to survive. Only by getting rid of these rats in the gutter could they be together openly and without any worries. Lu Zexuan knew what was important.
He let go of Yu Ran and said softly, "Go to sleep and have a good rest. We should all be well-rested to deal with the 'big shot' tomorrow."
