Chapter 806: Danger Warning on the Plane
"Um, I'm sorry."
Gates lowered his head and said sorry.
Liu Baobao complained that Gates only came up with the plan and took no risks at all.
But she had no idea about Gates' kite string throat-slitting plan, or what Gates saw after it succeeded—something that gave him continuous nightmares.
"Is 'sorry' supposed to be enough?"
Liu Baobao wasn't satisfied with just that apology.
Gates chuckled. "What do you want?"
Liu Baobao said, "We haven't done it in a while. How about we do it later?"
Gates replied, "Fine, consider this your compensation."
Liu Baobao felt pleased. She turned her head and watched as the bus carrying Jiang Ran had completely disappeared.
"Really terrifying, Jiang Ran."
Gates echoed, "Yeah, really terrifying."
Though both of them found Jiang Ran terrifying, the actual points of fear were completely different.
Liu Baobao thought Jiang Ran was a psychotic murderer who killed without blinking, more brutal and bloody than all the deranged criminals and serial killers in their entire town.
But Gates felt Jiang Ran wasn't human—definitely not human! What kind of person could have their head separated from their body and then put it back?!
That was what truly terrified him.
Losing his head without dying, still being able to live—he might be an evil spirit possessing a human body!
That was why, in the following days, he decided to seal Jiang Ran away in the police station.
Humans couldn't fight evil spirits. As for the other two lab rats, Huo Yun and Juliet, he had no more interest in wasting time on them. Besides, Jiang Ran had killed too many of their companions this time.
They might as well all be sent to the police station to be sealed away together.
The two of them stood there for a while longer, then turned and left, planning to vent all their frustrations from the past few days properly.
Meanwhile, everyone had forgotten three people.
Zhu Hong, Jin Baiying, and Zhao Jue in the police station.
Hua Country, back home.
At the home of Gu Bei, the class monitor from Jiang Ran's high school days.
Gu Bei was in his study, repeatedly watching a video on a 20-inch screen.
This video was the one of Jiang Ran crawling out of that deep pit with his bizarre four-limbed climbing style.
The livestream had already ended, so this was Gu Bei's personal recording.
It seemed Gu Bei had watched this special livestream too.
He'd watched Jiang Ran's wall-climbing video many times over.
Gu Bei, sitting on a rosewood chair, leaned forward slightly and picked up a printed, stapled document.
This document recorded everything he could investigate about Jiang Ran, from birth onward.
He had already flipped through this document several times.
He didn't find anything particularly suspicious or strange about Jiang Ran's life experience.
On the contrary, it wasn't suspicious at all—it was extremely ordinary.
But...
"With that climbing posture, being able to crawl out of such a deep pit... could it really just be something different alternate personalities can pull off when controlling the body?"
"And also, why did Jiang Ran suddenly brake while riding the motorcycle? What did he see?"
Gu Bei started watching the video of Jiang Ran riding the motorcycle again.
Unfortunately, at the crucial moment, the livestream had cut out, going completely black.
"Hmm... Intuition tells me Jiang Ran has a secret. But what is this secret?"
Gu Bei stood up and looked out the open window. Outside, spring was in full bloom, the scent of the season wafting in.
"Could it be that Jiang Ran obtained some peerless martial art, practiced it, and that's why his physical condition is so good? And he could even climb out of a pit that even special forces soldiers would struggle to escape?"
His tongue lightly tapped against his double row of teeth.
"Or did Jiang Ran bind to a system, making him this powerful?"
"Heh, I'm overthinking. It's all fake. That's just nonsense made up in web novels."
...
Jiang Ran took the bus to a small city with a train station nearby, then boarded a train to Munich.
He stayed in Munich for a day, which also counted as a day of fun.
That day was the happiest day he'd had in Germany.
The days in Aisen Town had been a nightmare.
In Munich, he boarded the plane flying from Germany back to Hua Country.
This plane was still first class.
Before boarding, Jiang Ran specially sent a message to ask Manager Wu Meiling.
How much was one ticket for his first-class seat this time?
As a result, Manager Wu Meiling told him a price he never expected.
Just his ticket alone cost 115,000.
He couldn't believe it. He wasn't familiar with the prices of plane cabins; he knew they were expensive, but he never imagined they'd be this expensive.
He originally thought a first-class ticket cost, at most, fifty or sixty thousand.
But... he was off by half the amount.
He didn't think Manager Wu Meiling was lying to him, but he checked himself and found it really was that price.
So, his trips to Germany and back from Germany—two plane tickets alone would cost over 200,000.
Jiang Ran joked with Manager Wu Meiling, saying if he'd known, he would have taken economy class and had her give him the money for first class directly.
But Manager Wu Meiling said that was impossible.
Even if he took economy class and only gave him half the price of a first-class ticket, the apartment boss wouldn't agree.
They'd rather reimburse him for a first-class ticket than do that.
Manager Wu Meiling told Jiang Ran this was a matter of principle.
Jiang Ran chuckled.
At the same time, his mind was full of that first-class ticket.
One ticket, 115,000.
The gap between people was huge.
For the rich, this was just a plane ticket.
But for ordinary people, with a monthly salary of 5,000 yuan and an annual salary of 60,000 yuan, an ordinary person would have to work for two years, without eating or drinking, just to afford a first-class ticket from Germany to Hua Country.
And, most ironically, how many ordinary people in Hua Country could actually earn 5,000 yuan a month?
...
This plane's first-class cabin had eight seats, all fully occupied.
Jiang Ran sat in the first seat on the left. In the first seat to his right sat a girl with long legs exposed.
He thought she was a foreigner, given her long golden hair.
But when she turned her face, he realized she was from Hua Country.
The plane took off.
Officially flying toward Jiang Ran's hometown.
However, this flight didn't seem to be so peaceful.
Because from the moment he got on the plane, including the first hour, everything in Jiang Ran's mind was quiet.
But after the plane had been flying for a little over an hour, his quiet mind suddenly erupted.
[Ding! Detected host in a dangerous zone! Please leave immediately! Please leave immediately!! Points +5! Points +5! Points...]
"Kao!"
He had been lying comfortably on the soft seat, enjoying the cold Cola and the joy of downloaded novels on his phone.
But hearing that, he immediately put down his phone, sat up straight, and was completely in a state of shock and panic.
