Chapter 786: The Heterochromatic-Eyed Murderer
The person who had been keeping in constant contact and talking on the phone with Lucas was a white male. At the same time, this white male was also the one who had been in continuous conversation with Liu Baobao.
This white male was no more than 30 years old, with a somewhat handsome appearance.
He had a head of jet-black hair.
His two eyes had irises of different colors—one was blue, and the other was green.
The outside world called him: the Heterochromatic-Eyed Murderer.
At this moment, this infamous heterochromatic-eyed murderer, Gates, was inside a house in Aisen Town.
He was in a study on the second floor, sitting in the boss's chair. Besides him, there were seven or eight other people in the room, both men and women.
Among these seven or eight individuals, there were white faces, Asian faces, and even black faces.
Gates had initially been on the phone with his back to these people. After finishing the call, he swiveled back around to face them directly.
Gates's voice was quite pleasant to listen to, the kind that could easily qualify for voice acting. It was precisely this handsome face and extremely appealing voice that had lured many of the victims he had killed in the past.
At this moment, he spoke slowly.
"Right now, there are still four lab rats left."
"Among them, Zhu Hong, the strongest one with sixteen rounds, has already been sent to the police station by me in advance and sealed away."
The young Asian man who had been monitoring Zhu Hong earlier was the one on the other end of that phone call—in other words, Gates.
So Zhu Hong being sealed off ahead of time was Gates's doing.
"Therefore, we have three lab rats left to deal with.
The one called Huo Yun is nothing to worry about; Lucas has already sold him to us in advance. Of course, we won't take his life until Lucas has squeezed out all his value.
Right now, the troublesome ones are that Hua Country lab rat named Jiang Ran, and the UK lab rat named Juliet.
Compared to Juliet, I'm not that worried. After all, in my view, she still falls within the scope of being human.
But as for this Jiang Ran, as things stand, I already feel like he's no longer human."
As Gates said this, his expression was relaxed, his teeth bright and eyes clear. But those who knew him understood—the more serious the matter, the more casually Gates expressed it.
"I already said long ago that Jiang Ran is the hardest to deal with among these ten lab rats, surpassing Zhu Hong. And what happened? You didn't believe me, and instead went in one by one like the Hulu Brothers trying to save their grandpa."
The next person to speak was an Asian male. His voice was very hoarse.
What was frightening was that this man's face appeared to have been burned, and it was a rather severe case at that.
Although he had undergone repair and cosmetic surgeries afterward, it still looked bizarre. His entire face seemed painted on, giving off an eerie sense of a painted skin.
If Jiang Ran were here and looked closely, he should be able to recognize that this person was none other than Manager Xiao Zhang, the one he had been constantly thinking about.
Manager Xiao Zhang added, gesturing with his hands as he spoke.
"First, Derby failed. Then, Jin Baiying and Zhao Jue set up an ambush, failed. Next, Liu Baobao tried poisoning, failed. Then Lucas attempted hypnosis, failed. Finally, you guys staged a car crash, failed."
"So I ask you all, have you ever seen a lab rat this hard to kill?"
After a few seconds of silence in the room, a pretty Hua Country woman with a somewhat baby face, Liu Baobao, spoke up defiantly.
"Xiao Zhang, when you summarize our failures, are you forgetting your own? After Jiang Ran's first day of training ended, didn't you throw a beer can and chase after him with a knife? And you didn't even hit him. Wasn't that also a failure?"
Manager Xiao Zhang let out a dismissive cold snort.
"I never intended to kill Jiang Ran back then. It had just been too long since I'd seen him, so that was our first reunion—it was my surprise for him."
Liu Baobao turned her head away and sneered.
"Then I could say the same—it was my first time meeting Jiang Ran, so I was also giving him a surprise."
The bickering between the two was about to continue when another woman's voice cut in.
"You two, stop arguing. We gathered here this time to discuss how to deal with the remaining lab rats. Not to listen to you two fight."
The speaker was a middle-aged white woman, the same one who had given Lucas his work uniform at the 25 Hours Hotel.
Just like when she had met Lucas then, she was now wearing black stockings, very alluring.
The young Asian man responsible for monitoring Zhu Hong was also here, holding his head as he said,
"How annoying. This is even worse than being at the Alice Apartment. Coming here, we have to kill every lab rat that shows up."
"Annoyed? If you're annoyed, you can go back to the Alice Apartment."
Liu Baobao sneered.
"But I suggest you drop that thought. Where in the Alice Apartment do you have the kind of freedom you have here? You can move around freely in any small town, anytime, searching for your desired targets and then making your move. As for having to kill every lab rat that comes, just consider it the monthly rent."
"Don't think I don't know—you and those two, Daniel and Smith, working together, have at least five women raped and murdered in this period alone."
"And those two wastes—I handed Juliet, that lab rat, over to them, and they couldn't even handle a woman. Now, who knows if they're dead or alive."
Liu Baobao gritted her silver teeth, frustrated at their incompetence.
Gates spoke up at this point.
He clapped his hands, producing sharp sounds to signal everyone in the room to quiet down.
Sure enough, after just a few claps, the room fell silent, with not a single sound of human activity.
It seemed that Gates's authority over the people in this room was absolute.
Once it was quiet, he calmly and leisurely gazed at everyone in the room and said,
"Alright, enough bickering. Now, listen to my plan. I've prepared a big trap for Jiang Ran. This time, we're all going into action. We must finish off Jiang Ran tonight. I don't want to waste any more time on him, understand?"
Liu Baobao and Manager Xiao Zhang nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, Gates began to slowly lay out his plan targeting Jiang Ran.
This scene was also being broadcast live.
Everyone in the Special Live Stream's chat room could see it.
After watching, their moods varied.
Mi—American Captain: [He's still going to die. This time, they're all coming out in full force.]
Mi—Obediently Plant Cotton For Me: [Actually, thinking about it, you know Jiang Ran has to die. If he doesn't, these guys in Aisen Town will die once the livestream ends, because that's the rule.]
Maple—White Supremacy: [Jiang Ran's performance was respectable. Even though he's a Hua Country person, I can't help but admire him.]
