Gu Ran's eyes met Lilith's, and he knew she was serious.
She did have the intention to kill.
"You wouldn't dare."
As soon as Gu Ran finished speaking, Lilith's expression changed instantly.
He became very ugly and angry, as if he was humiliated by Gu Ran.
"I don't dare?!"
Lilith took out a necklace and held it in her hand with a sick smile on her face.
"This necklace is the space prop that holds Xue Xiling. As long as I squeeze it, the space will collapse and she will die."
"Do you dare to try?"
Lilith turned the tables.
Gu Ran actually dared to provoke her. No, the sentence "you dare not" was a complete humiliation to her.
She was almost furious.
If Gu Ran really dared to try to snatch the necklace from her hand, she would crush the necklace and kill Xue Xiling without hesitation!
This is her determination.
As for after killing Xue Xiling, will Gu Ran fight with her to the death and no longer help her open Pandora's Box
So what!
The purpose of her opening Pandora's Box was to no longer be oppressed. She wanted to gain true freedom!
If she succumbed to Gu Ran's threats, wouldn't that be contrary to what she had been pursuing all along
It would be better not to think about Pandora's Box anymore and just fight to the death with Gu Ran.
The situation at the scene suddenly froze, and time seemed to have stopped here.
Gu Ran looked at Lilith's resolute eyes and narrowed his eyes slightly.
He saw Lilith's determination, but he didn't look worried at all, as if he didn't care at all about how Lilith treated Xue Xiling.
"Do you think I really don't dare?" Lilith tightened her grip on the necklace.
"Lilith, you came to me because I am the 'key' to open Pandora's Box, so what do you think is so special about me?" Gu Ran continued as if he didn't see it.
"I am just a human being. I have nothing to do with your Abyss before. But you can feel that I am the 'key'. Is it possible that you are wrong?"
Gu Ran said his own words.
"After all, you felt before that Xue Xiling was the 'key' you were looking for. Wasn't that a wrong feeling? So is it possible that I was wrong this time as well?"
Lilith looked at Gu Ran in confusion.
Why are you saying this now
Are you trying to divert my attention
But Lilith was not a succubus who was afraid of trouble. She replied: "I was indeed wrong about Xue Xiling, and it is not impossible that I was wrong about you, so..."
Having said that, she suddenly smiled at Gu Ran. This time, Lilith did not deliberately display her racial talents, but instead showed a different kind of beauty.
"So you may not be the person I'm looking for. Or rather, if you're not, then the result will be better for me. After all, in this case, your threat..."
"It's not worth mentioning to me, is it?"
The last words were spoken softly and gently, as if a green tea girl was acting coquettishly with her lover's brother.
But Lilith's eyes were so cold, the two formed a sharp contrast.
Gu Ran didn't seem to care and continued with his topic: "I haven't figured out what happened to Xue Xiling, but I have some guesses about the reasons for my condition. How much do you know about me?"
Gu Ran suddenly asked a question in return.
Lilith looked at Gu Ran with a frown. She was a little confused about Gu Ran.
"Hmph, Gu Ran, the ruling 'advisor' of Canglong City, is very famous. Naturally, I have heard many rumors about him." Lilith was willing to cooperate with Gu Ran. She wanted to see what Gu Ran was trying to say.
"You originally wandered around other places in the Human Alliance, and only came to Canglong City more than a year ago."
"You were unknown at that time. No one would have thought that you would become famous and pass the lecturer recruitment of Lyceum University."
Lilith observed Gu Ran as she spoke. She found that when Gu Ran talked about his previous achievements, there was no trace of complacency on his face, as if this was just the deeds of an unrelated person.
Although he is young, he is quite calm.
Lilith commented in her mind.
The lifespan of the demon race is much longer than that of humans. Although she looks about the same age as Gu Ran, if calculated in human time, she is already in her thirties.
Among humans, her age is already considered a "young woman", but for the succubus, forty years old is considered an adult.
So to some extent, she and Gu Ran are "peers", but from another perspective, she is Gu Ran's "elder".
But no matter what, she admired Gu Ran's shrewdness.
"But no one would have thought that you, a man who successfully applied for the position of lecturer at Lyceum University, are not best at scientific research, but at your incomparably powerful strength. Making a name for yourself is not the end, but the beginning."
Lilith continued to talk about Gu Ran's deeds in Canglong City, but it sounded like she was constantly praising Gu Ran.
Because even if you simply describe Gu Ran's "resume" in Canglong City, it would be enough to make people gasp.
From Gu Ran standing out from the crowd in the interview, to helping Xue Yingsong defeat the ruling center, to defeating the Far East City alone, and making an emergency landing in the New Covenant City alone.
Each of these tasks is something that ordinary people cannot accomplish. Not to mention completing them, we don’t even dare to think about the following tasks.
This is beyond the imagination of most people.
But even with such a "record", there was no trace of pride on Gu Ran's face, as if this was just a past that was not worth mentioning.
"... Although it has only been a little over a year, you have quickly established yourself in Canglong City and have an unimaginably high reputation among the people. With Xue Yingsong's support, you have even been designated as the next absolute top leader of Canglong City, and there is a great possibility that you will even become the ruler of Canglong City..."
Having said this, Lilith suddenly paused and looked at Gu Ran playfully, as if she wanted to see the "excitement" on Gu Ran's face.
"But no one would have thought that the father-in-law and son-in-law, who they thought trusted each other absolutely, would actually kill each other in public. In the end, you killed the president of Lanxin University, whom they most respected. Consultant Gu Ran, do you think they will still support you as before?"
Originally, Lilith thought that killing Xue Yingsong would definitely arouse Gu Ran's embarrassment and make him look ugly.
But what surprised her was that Gu Ran's expression was like a cold pond that had remained unchanged for thousands of years, without the slightest fluctuation.
Lilith frowned and continued, "Your beloved fiancée also saw you kill her father. In her heart, you are no longer a lover worthy of entrusting your life to, but the sworn enemy who killed her father. Don't you feel touched or sad at all?"
At this moment, Lilith even forgot about the situation between herself and Gu Ran. She only wanted to make Gu Ran's mood and face look bad. It would be best if he looked extremely ugly, as if he had just had an argument, so that she could vent her anger.
From the beginning, when the two of them simply fought each other, she was suppressed. Later, when the two of them fought for such a long time, she was suppressed again until she was completely defeated.
Although she seemed open-minded, she had always found it difficult to accept in her heart, and it made her very uncomfortable.
I just keep it under control because I want what I want.
She was very happy to have the chance to vent her anger, and she was also looking forward to Gu Ran's mood change.
But what she didn't expect was that Gu Ran's mood did not change, but instead turned from cheerful to bad.
In the end, her questions were quite hurtful and directly touched upon his beloved "fiancée", but this guy still had that "indifferent" look on his face.
Although they are of "similar age", she is actually twice as old as Gu Ran. However, not only is her strength inferior to Gu Ran, but now she is even inferior to him in cunning and mentality.
When Lilith thought of this, she felt so angry that her chest hurt.
It seemed as if the already impressive mountains had grown even taller and larger.
Gu Ran really didn’t have any feelings about the “achievements” that Lilith mentioned. As for her “heart-piercing words” at the end, which were misunderstood by Xue Xiling and led to her falling out with him, it did make him feel a little emotional.
But that's all.
Although it is a bit regrettable, it is not sad.
"It seems that you have investigated me for a long time and you know everything about my deeds in Canglong City like the back of your hand, even more familiar than I am with it." Gu Ran said.
Lilith's face darkened.
Gu Ran said this as if she was Gu Ran's fan.
"Although these things can be found out, some of the details are unknown to the general public. Xue Yingsong told you, right?" Gu Ran suddenly changed the subject, "But you didn't talk about anything before I was in Canglong City. It seems you don't know."
"That's right, these things can't be found out openly."
Lilith snorted, "Indeed, you didn't even tell Xue Yingsong, so how could I possibly find out?"
Gu Ran said calmly: "Then you probably don't know that I'm a telepath, and you certainly don't know that I used to be a space power user."
291. Lilith's shock, verbal persuasion 4k
"Are you a space ability user?" Lilith's eyes suddenly changed and she looked Gu Ran up and down.
"But I heard that the space ability user in Suzaku City has found a student, a little girl. Could you be that little girl?"
Lilith's eyes turned playful and full of teasing, as if she wanted to avenge the attack with ridicule.
Gu Ran shook his head and said, "Didn't I tell you that I used to be a space user, so I am not one now. Otherwise, you would never have been able to escape from me again and again!"
Lilith was puzzled: "Is he once a... superpower? Gu Ran, what on earth are you trying to do? I know you humans, too. Superpowers are bound to their hearts from the moment they are born. The disappearance of superpowers means the destruction of the superpower crystal core, and the heart will also be implicated and destroyed."
"If your heart is destroyed, you will definitely die. It's impossible for you to live until now without a heart, right? Besides, from ancient times to the present, there are only two space power users at most at the same time, as a succession relationship, and generally within ten years, the old space power user will die."
