Gu Ran, who was running forward, suddenly paused and turned to look at Cheng Caimeng: "Who told you this?"
Seeing Gu Ran's serious expression, Cheng Caimeng was surprised and said, "No one told me that. I just said it out of my own feeling."
Feeling inspired
Gu Ran thought about it and it seemed that this was indeed something a normal person in Canglong City would say.
There are people in this world who believe in fate, and there are quite a few of them. In Canglong City, there are quite a few people who believe in this. The term "destined person" is not a special noun, and there are quite a few people who talk about it.
"It seems like I have some PTSD."
Gu Ran couldn't help but laugh at himself in his heart.
"So it seems that you still have some plans against me. I didn't wrongly accuse you before. So why didn't you take that opportunity to let me help you revitalize the martial arts hall?" Gu Ran said.
Cheng Caimeng shook her head and said, "Even if I ask you to help, will you help with all your heart? That will only become an obstacle to communication between us. I hope that one day... you will come to help voluntarily. That's when you will do your best."
160. Cheng Caimeng and Gu Ran's new bet! Internal fight in Canglong City! 4k
Cheng Caimeng blinked and said, "I know you are not the kind of person who would be easily bound by the promise of a bet. I can see that at first glance, so I will naturally not use this bet to restrict you."
"Besides, I'm not sure if you're someone who can help. If I rashly involve you in this matter, it would only harm you... So if you're really the one I'm waiting for, even if I don't ask anything of you, we'll meet at some turning point in fate, just like our previous two encounters."
Cheng Caimeng did not hide her plan and told it all in detail, being very frank.
Gu Ran looked at Cheng Caimeng and shook his head. "I'm not the kind of person who likes to meddle in other people's business. Your Niyuan Martial Arts Hall has nothing to do with me. If you use the beauty trap, then... you may be disappointed. I think you can guess the result yourself."
Cheng Caimeng smiled and said, "I myself refuse the honey trap. After all, I am not very good at seduction skills like the succubus. It is really too embarrassing to do such a thing."
"So, how about we make another bet?"
Finally, Cheng Caimeng and Gu Ran changed the subject.
Gu Ran raised an eyebrow: "Another bet? I haven't fulfilled the previous bet yet, is this okay?"
"It doesn't matter. Didn't I tell you? I'll tell you when I remember what I want you to do. So the responsibility is not on you. Don't worry, I'm a very fair person." Cheng Caimeng's beautiful eyes turned and said, "Besides, the new bet is also related to the old one. If you calculate it carefully, you still win."
"Did I make money?" Gu Ran asked, "Then tell me about it."
"The new bet I want to talk about is... you will definitely be willing to fulfill the promise in our bet." Cheng Caimeng's face suddenly turned red.
Will I fulfill my promise willingly
Gu Ran was speechless.
Gu Ran didn’t know where Cheng Caimeng’s confidence came from, and this second bet was more of an extension of the first one, and the initiative was still in his hands.
It seems like this bet is just a joke.
"I'm not joking." Cheng Caimeng seemed to have guessed what Gu Ran was thinking, and said with a serious face, "I'm serious. So, do you want to escape? Are you afraid to accept the challenge?"
"Your method of provoking me is a bit low-level." Gu Ran said.
"You didn't refuse... So you agree?" Cheng Caimeng tilted her head and looked at Gu Ran, the smile in her eyes unable to be concealed at all.
"We're here." Gu Ran did not answer Cheng Caimeng, but said suddenly.
Although he was talking to Cheng Caimeng, Gu Ran did not forget his destination.
Lyceum University!
Gu Ran stood at the door and looked at the best university in Canglong City, but did not go in immediately.
"Do you feel something is wrong?" Cheng Caimeng looked at Lanxin University with a frown.
Gu Ran replied: "It's a kind of psychic ability. I have some knowledge about it."
"Psychic power?" Cheng Caimeng looked at Gu Ran in surprise. "You said that the entire Lanxin University is shrouded in a spiritual power? How is this possible? With so many powerful people in Lanxin University, how could they allow such a thing to happen?"
"Nothing is impossible, and this kind of psychic ability is not a very compulsory control-type psychic ability, so the resistance it will encounter will not be as severe as you think." Gu Ran said with a serious expression.
He did know about psychic abilities.
Although the psychic abilities of Finn Duville, the head of the Duville family, had no effect on him and he was easily killed, Gu Ran never underestimated this rare ability.
The biggest special feature of psychic powers is their concealment. They are often difficult to detect. There are also many types of psychic powers, so it is very easy to fall into their trap accidentally.
Therefore, he once specifically looked for and read relevant information on psychic powers.
After reading all the relevant information he could find, Gu Ran had a general understanding of psychic abilities.
"Generally speaking, people have some tendencies to like and dislike behaviors. People are happy to do the behaviors they like, but they are reluctant to do the behaviors they dislike. Therefore, some psychic abilities that forcibly control others usually cause great resistance."
Gu Ran looked at the silent Lan Xin and said, "Because this kind of control usually makes the controlled person do something they hate, such as hurting themselves, committing suicide or self-mutilation. If you control according to human preferences, it will be more effective. For example, sleep when you are tired, or eat when you are hungry.
"But this kind of control is useless to those with special abilities, because it has no lethality to the enemy, and some strong people will forcibly arouse the warning in their hearts when they encounter danger and directly break away from control. Therefore, this kind of special ability can generally only be used as an ability to assist others in fighting."
Cheng Caimeng looked at Gu Ran and said, "You know a lot. You are worthy of being the most popular researcher at Lanxin University recently. But how come you can tell it just by looking at it here? If it is really a psychic ability, then it should be difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, unless those affected by the ability react."
"Of course I have my own way." Gu Ran walked towards Lanxin University.
"What method? Even I can't tell it?" Cheng Caimeng followed without hesitation.
Gu Ran integrated into the surrounding environment and felt the Lyceum University at this moment.
His method is telekinesis.
"Strange, it should be class time at this time, but the classroom is empty." Gu Ran murmured, "There's no one in the classroom... ... Then what about the dormitory?"
Then Gu Ran found that all the students were in the dormitory and they were all asleep.
However, colorful thin lines still extended from their bodies, and all of them pointed in one direction.
That is Xue Yingsong’s place that combines laboratory, office, living room, bedroom and other functions into one!
"Is this... a line of emotions? Is someone using these lines of emotions to supplement himself?" Gu Ran could feel that these lines came from emotions.
"Emotions that arise in dreams?"
Because they come from emotions, some lines are thicker, some are thinner, and some people have none at all. The reason is probably that the content of each person’s dreams is different, and some people don’t dream at all.
Gu Ran immediately ran towards where Xue Yingsong was, fearing that the Xue Yingsong he would see later would not be alive and well.
"This power... is still being used, and the battle continues!"
Gu Ran's heart moved.
The seemingly ordinary house still looked ordinary, but Gu Ran felt the turbulence within it.
Gu Ran didn't care about anything else and kicked open the door of Xue Yingsong's house.
"Principal Xue, I'm back, why don't you come to welcome me?"
As soon as Gu Ran entered, he saw the two sides confronting each other with clear positions.
Seeing that the old fox Xue Yingsong was still alive and didn't seem to be seriously injured, Gu Ran couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
I have to say that although Xue Yingsong, this old fox, has "ulterior motives" towards him, she is really good to him.
"Oh, you're back." Xue Yingsong sat in her chair and smiled gently when she saw Gu Ran.
There were two people standing next to Xue Yingsong, one Gu Ran knew and the other one he didn't.
The person he recognized was Xiao Chaofeng. He looked at the people opposite him vigilantly. When he saw Gu Ran coming back, he showed a relaxed expression on his face, but the next second he became confused and searched for something behind Gu Ran.
Gu Ran could probably guess what Xiao Chaofeng was thinking. He was probably relieved to see him come back and about their safety. Then he realized that he came back alone and Xue Xiling did not come back with him, so he might have become confused.
Before entering the house, Gu Ran settled Xue Xiling and Wu Wang who were still unconscious.
Wu Wang placed it randomly in a classroom, Xue Xiling placed it in his dormitory, and as for Cheng Caimeng, Gu Ran did not let her come in.
The excuse was, "This is an internal matter of our Lanxin University. It's not appropriate for an outsider like you to get involved. Besides, your Niyuan Martial Arts Hall already has many enemies. Miss Cheng Caimeng, you don't want to make more enemies, do you?"
Cheng Caimeng naturally agreed to Gu Ran's request. She was indeed not suitable to participate, but she did not completely give up helping Gu Ran. Instead, she helped to keep watch outside.
In her words, "This is indeed an internal matter of your Lyceum University, but it is also your business. We have many potential enemies in Niyuan Martial Arts Hall, so I want to help you, so you owe me. And, respected Lyceum University researcher, you don't want to be attacked by something unexpected, right?"
Gu Ran had no choice but to ignore her and let her find a position to be on guard.
It's not a bad thing anyway.
It’s a long story, but it all happened in a short period of time.
"Are these people your guests, Principal?" Gu Ran glanced around and asked with a smile.
Xue Yingsong laughed and said, "They are guests, but bad guests. They are here to embarrass an old man like me."
"Xue Yingsong, do you think you can be arrogant just because you found a reinforcement?" A short and fat old man stared at Xue Yingsong, "Lyche University must be under the jurisdiction of the ruling center. No person or organization can escape the jurisdiction of the ruling center!"
Xue Yingsong laughed softly and said, "Hasn't Lanxin University always been under the jurisdiction of the ruling center? Over the years, Lanxin University has never tried to break away from the influence of the ruling center. Why does Mr. Li Shu say this?"
Li Shulao sneered: "Yes, nominally we obey the ruling center, but in fact, everyone knows that you, the president, are the real master of Lanxin University! If we can't command you, we can't command Lanxin University!
"Lyceum University is a city within a city! Although it is said that Lyceum University obeys the ruling center, most of the people in the ruling center are graduates of Lyceum University. Your words are much more effective than those of the ruling center."
Xue Yingsong said, "Oh? So this is why you place people in Lanxin University and recruit people? But why are the people you place in Lanxin University all useless trash? And the people you recruit are very few."
"If those people were useful and their abilities were good enough to match their positions, then I could keep them, but... their abilities are so low that I am dumbfounded. I have only not been in charge of the school for more than a year, and you have caused such a big fuss for me."
Xue Yingsong's expression seemed to be one of genuine curiosity rather than mockery.
Xue Yingsong's words made the other party pause, as if he was a little embarrassed to talk about this issue. After a silence for a while, Li Shu said: "Do you think we don't want to arrange some people who are both capable and loyal? It's just that the capable people are not loyal, and these guys who are loyal to the ruling center are not capable.
"Weighing the pros and cons of two evils, we should choose the lesser one. Rather than letting the Lyceum University have a great reputation but not be controlled by the ruling center, it is better to slightly reduce the reputation of the Lyceum University in exchange for loyal and righteous people to control the University. This way, at least the orders of the ruling center can be carried out unimpeded in the Lyceum University."
"Oh, so that's how it is." Although Xue Yingsong's tone was very light, Gu Ran, who had been with him for some time, knew that the old fox was really angry.
