Black Lotus villain disguise strategy

There is a box of sundries on the closet. With Xue Ran's height, she can't see the situation above the closet without a bench. What's more, she lives in school in other places and doesn't go home often. Liang Xueli cleans the house. Idle items are obviously not very impressive,
"what?"

Xia Mingsheng tiptoed to take a look,

"It seems... there are photos of you when you were a child!"

"Ah?" Xue Ran was taken aback.

When he roared out, Jiang Xun next to him seemed to be interested, and he raised his chin and leaned over.

"is this your photo?"

Speaking of which, Xia Mingsheng raised his hand and picked up the photo frame effortlessly. What was clutched in his hand was a photo of Liang Xueli when he was young holding a girl of twelve or thirteen years old.

Just as Jiang Xun glanced at it, Xue Ran shyly snatched the photo away.

"What's so good about photos when I was a child..."

Before the words finished, the moment Xue Ran's eyes fell on the portrait, Xue Ran's flushed face suddenly turned pale, and all the blood in his body rushed to the top of his head.

... Isn't the person in the photo the girl who appeared in her dream?
Xue Ran has never liked to take pictures as souvenirs. This is probably one of the few photos of her besides graduation photos. She has no memory of her childhood appearance, so she was shocked when she saw her face clearly!
As if struck by lightning, Xue Ran stood there dazedly, and thought dazedly:

So what happened to those bizarre scenes in the previous dream?

Is everything in the dream her insanity, or... did it really happen?
"What... what's wrong? The photo is so cute!"

Seeing her terrifying expression, Xia Mingsheng, who was still smiling just now, stopped. He didn't know why Xue Ran reacted so violently. He thought she was not satisfied with the effect of the photo.

Xue Ran's eyes stared blankly, but he didn't respond for a while.

"Xue Ran?"

Realizing that something was wrong with her, Jiang Xun frowned.

Unaware of the voices of the two, Xue Ran was still immersed in the shock for a long time, and her mind was in a mess at the moment, thinking over and over again in her heart,

How could it be... me?
.
"Where is she?" Xue Ran asked.

"Her sister said that there is no signal on the phone, and nine out of ten she is in a bar." Xia Mingsheng put down the phone and said.

What they asked was Jing Ling, and Xue Ran felt that this little girl was probably the only way for her to find out the truth now.

Thinking of Jingling's harmless face, Xia Mingsheng shook his head with a "tsk tsk",
"But she is a 14-year-old minor!"

"It's not difficult to get in with any ID card," Xue Ran said.

"Don't her parents care?"

"Why, do you want to take care of it?"

"I?"

Xia Mingsheng let out a "huh", "Then I can't control it!
But since they didn't want to care, why did they adopt her in the first place? "

　"Perhaps she looks well-behaved, and I thought she was a good child. I don't want some people to be different from the outside, looking like..."

Xue Ran only spoke halfway, and his expression became more and more serious, just as the three of them stopped at the door of the bar.

"I want to ask some private matters, just go in alone."

Just as she was about to leave, Jiang Xun, who hadn't spoken for a long time beside her, said softly, "Let's go together."

　Xue Ran glanced at him slightly sideways, although he could only see his shoulder from this angle.

To be honest, she never felt that she and Jiang Xun belonged to the same world, and naturally she would never think of him when doing anything.

From Xue Ran's point of view, she seemed to be an independent detective, exuding a sense of distance that was too far away, making her a salty fish who was too lazy to deal with people not to want to get close.

Besides, for Xue Ran, he was really too tall, and it was difficult to raise his head to talk to him.

The mood is really irritable, and I don't have the heart to discuss with him whether we should act together, Xue Ran didn't bother to raise his head at the moment, waved his hand and said:
"Don't bother." After saying that, he walked into the door.

Looking at her thin and single back, Jiang Xun clenched his fist, but after all, he still felt that something was wrong, and followed her with a sharp face.

One of them walked forward, and the other hurriedly chased after him. Xia Mingsheng, who was left with a dazed face, opened his mouth and stood there stupidly, not knowing whether he should leave or stay.
.
"Xue Ran, wait!"

The ending sound was instantly drowned out by the loud background sound of the bar, looking at the person in front of her who never looked back, just as her fingertips were about to touch her shoulder, a wave of people rushed forward to block Jiang Xun's way,

His lone hand was empty and pushed elsewhere.

Push away a group of drunks in front of him, wait for Jiang Xun to stand firm, and then look up, but the other party has disappeared.

He frowned tightly, and his mind seemed to be broken up. For some reason, he felt as if he was lost.

"handsome guy!"

"Handsome guys make friends!"

"Does the handsome guy drink? Drink one!"

The fidgety disco music of "Moving Time, Beat Time" was constantly ringing in his ears, and a woman in scantily clad clothes touched his tense back intentionally or unintentionally, all of which made Jiang Xun feel sick to his stomach,

The colorful strobe lights in the bar reflected the ferocious faces of these people. His eyes were burning, and he glanced at the strange and ugly faces around him, searching hard in the rhythmic crowd.

The jumping lights dazzled people, and the familiar dizziness like dizziness made Jiang Xun feel chest tightness and shortness of breath. He frowned, and after a long few minutes, he finally relaxed his brows when he heard the familiar voice.

——"Do you remember me?"

Her voice seemed to have a distinctive magnetism, and she could always catch his ears immediately,

Jiang Xun raised his eyes, and saw that Xue Ran had found Jing Ling, who was dressed in heavy makeup, and was sitting with the latter,
The breath hanging in his heart finally slowed down, he let go of his clenched teeth, Jiang Xun walked forward quickly, before he reached her side, he couldn't help calling out to his predecessors, "Xue Ran!"
.
"Xue Ran!"

　Xue Ran turned his head when he heard the sound, and saw Jiang Xun walking quickly among a group of fancy-dressed men and women,
He was tall and tall, and his temperament was incompatible with the crowd of demons dancing around him, and he was extremely eye-catching in such a dim light.

"Jiang... Inspector."

The dazzling strobe lights made his face flicker, Xue Ran was slightly startled, and Jiang Xun's eyes that seemed to be staring at him without blinking made his heart palpitate.
I was surprised that I hadn't realized before that his face, against the contrast of this pile of heavy makeup, was as beautiful as jade in the rough!

What is she thinking?

After correcting his eccentric thoughts, Xue Ran withdrew his gaze, regained his mind full of doubts, and had no time to focus on Jiang Xun's finding him.

Looking at Jing Ling who was wearing a big-wavy wig, eye shadow and red lipstick, Xue Ran said in a serious voice:

"I have something, I want to..."

"You guys are annoying!"

Jing Ling folded her arms with dissatisfaction, "I said, you have no right to interfere with my life!"

"It's not business,"

Xue Ran said, "I just want to ask."

"no talking!"

Jing Ling's attitude is still tough. She was trying to strike up a conversation with someone just now, but Xue Ran interrupted her abruptly. Now she is very upset and wants to make trouble.

She leaned back on the back of the chair, raised her finger and pointed to the table in the distance where people gathered to watch,
"Over there, did you see the group of people fighting for wine?"

The tone was lukewarm and he said: "It seems to be some kind of challenge competition. Those who participated in the competition poured wine into their stomachs like water. If you dare to go, it means that you are not too bad. I will reluctantly follow you!" You talk."

What kind of rhetoric is this to persuade people to quit!

Knowing that Jing Ling was obviously trying to make things difficult for her, Xue Ran frowned, and before he could speak, he heard Jiang Xun's deep voice beside him saying:
"I'll try it."

He turned his head without changing his face, and just about to take a step, he didn't want Xue Ran to turn sideways, when soft knuckles suddenly wrapped around his wrist, stopping him,

Jiang Xun couldn't help being stunned for a while, thinking that this was probably the first time the other party came to pull him on his own initiative.

It was also a long time since he was pulled by someone like this, his usually steady heart suddenly trembled, and a surge of blood rushed to his cheeks instantly, but fortunately the alternately flickering lights of the bar could not illuminate his face.

Now grabbing Jiang Xun with one hand, Xue Ran turned to look at Jing Ling and said:
"You know it's impossible!"

"How do you know it's impossible if you don't try it?"

The other party was full of arrogance and reluctance, and with her perverse temperament, it was obviously impossible to compromise easily.

Jiang Xun then looked at Xue Ran, "Try it."

"Don't go!"

Xue Ran looked serious, she knew where Jiang Xun was a drinker?There is no need to suffer this crime!
The movement was stopped by Xue Ran, and Jiang Xun didn't insist any more. Seeing that he didn't insist on leaving, Xue Ran let go of his wrist, and then said to the human in front of him:

"It's just a few questions, it won't take up too much of your time."

"Your serious face looks like a prisoner on trial, which makes people feel uncomfortable all over!"

But seeing that she was so persistent, and she was determined not to give up until she reached her goal, Jing Ling let go and said:

"Hey! How about this, you drink with me and I chat with you, how about it?"

After speaking, he handed Xue Ran a glass of very bright blue cocktail,
"If you don't drink in a bar, it's so boring to just chat!"

Xue Ran searched for the answer wholeheartedly, so he took it smoothly, "Okay."

"Or I'll come." Jiang Xun said.

"It's just a little wine, it won't kill you."

She picked up the wine glass and drank half of it without saying a word, and this action also caused Jing Ling who was beside her to raise her eyebrows slightly.

For someone like Xue Ran who doesn't drink alcohol all the year round, this glass of high-concentration strong blended wine is really spicy in the throat. She swallowed it reluctantly, and instantly felt a strong smell of alcohol rushing to her forehead. Then she put down the glass and went straight to the main question. Jingling in front of Dao said:
"You and I are actually the same, we both have abilities that are different from ordinary people, right?"

Jing Ling's eyes flickered, and she thought about what the "same" meant in her words, as if she had quickly accepted the statement, and her emotions did not fluctuate much.

"Aren't you curious? Aren't you curious about how you came to this place? Don't want to know why you got that ability?"

Seeing the other party's calm expression, Xue Ran suddenly realized that he might not be the first person she had ever seen with a special ability.

Compared to herself with a closed life scope, she has access to more information, and she does know some inside information.

However, Jing Ling did not answer her question, but instead asked:

"do not you know?"
