Black Lotus villain disguise strategy

"Choose!"

　Xue Ran swallowed, and told himself in his heart... the real answer must have something special, and the clues must be hidden in the details that are easy to ignore.

However, no matter how she observed the two glasses of white water in front of her, she couldn't see any difference at all, which made Xue Ran suspicious.
Is this really not a joke?
If she chooses wrong, will she really die?
And the person who was poisoned and died just now, his reaction to poisoning was so realistic, he couldn't be a member of the show?
If there is really only a half chance of surviving, will he die because of a wrong choice like him?
"Actually, whether you can survive sometimes has nothing to do with intelligence or observation,"

Jiang Xun whispered in her ear:
"Survivors are just luck."

Xue Ran clenched his fists, his thoughts suddenly became a little confused.

What the hell is she doing now?Is she applying for the job, or is she participating in a gamble set up by the other party, and the bet is her own life?
Special abilities are useless in front of him, Xue Ran can't help feeling confused, feeling that he really can't understand the person in front of him, his eyes are always full of unfathomable light, and every word he says seems to be false and true.

"What, are you afraid?"

Jiang Xun still had an indifferent expression on his face,

"If you are afraid of death, you can choose to give up."

"No." Xue Ran frowned, "Impossible."

She felt that she had fallen into an extremely paranoid state for no reason, but she didn't know what was controlling her thoughts.

Pursing his lips uneasily, Xue Ran reached out his hand to touch the outer wall of the glass of water on the left, and after a while, the other hand clenched the glass on the right again, seemingly unable to make a decision.

Jiang Xun stared at her intently, and his brain unconsciously began to predict her choice.

He was still thinking about it, but in the next second he saw Xue Ran mixing the left and right glasses of water into one cup, and after mixing, he divided them equally, then raised one of the plastic cups and said:
"If one of two glasses of water is poisonous and one is non-toxic, mixing the two can dilute the concentration, and the content of scopolamine in the solution will also be reduced to a relatively safe range, so that two glasses of safe aqueous solution can be obtained."

She looked up at Jiang Xun in front of her and said:
"It doesn't have to be your life and death. If you don't have to choose, no one will die because of the choice."

I don't know if this behavior of changing the rules at will will annoy him, but Xue Ran has no time to take care of that much at the moment. She looked down at the clear liquid in the glass, pressed her lower lip anxiously, and decided to drink it.

Before her lips touched the rim of the cup, Jiang Xun suddenly grabbed her hand to raise the cup,

"okay!"

He seemed to be a little angry, and he yelled at him without warning, with a fierce look in his eyes.

Seeing the other party's stern gaze, Xue Ran trembled uncontrollably, feeling inexplicable at the same time, a feeling of fear suddenly appeared in his heart,

The palpable deep-seated fear poured into her limbs like an undercurrent, and suddenly, a sentence flashed repeatedly in her mind,
[Abnormal psychology is not a mental illness, but a personality trait. People with this trait are generally indifferent, and do not have the sympathy and empathy that ordinary people should have.
Most of them have extremely high IQs and are good at hiding, but they tend to explode suddenly in certain scenes and emotions...]
.
"H-"

Xue Ran fell down on the bed tiredly, recalling the experience of the day in his mind,
After all, she didn't drink the glass of water, but was brought out by several people, which may be regarded as being blasted out of the Special Bureau.

Xue Ran turned over, looked up at the ceiling, couldn't help but start to think wildly,
I just feel that I have seen too many lies over the years. Some people are addicted to cheating and liars. She can almost recognize it at a glance.

But how to explain why she is so afraid of that person, why?
Xue Ran shook his head, thinking there was something wrong with him, why were he suspicious for no reason?

So she closed her eyes and forced herself to take the word "Jiang Xun" out of her mind, but then inexplicably remembered a past experience.

I still remember that eight years ago, there was a kidnapping case that caused a sensation in the whole city. The detective of the Special Bureau who was in charge of arresting the kidnappers at that time was not Jiang Xun, but probably his father Jiang Ke.

The kidnapper kidnapped a woman, but instead of asking for a ransom, he even notified the police immediately, which can be described as arrogant and rampant!

Obviously, the purpose of the kidnappers is not money, nor is it revenge. They did this only to satisfy their psychological needs.
Unlike ordinary criminals, this kind of perverted murderer is not afraid of being arrested, not afraid of legal sanctions, and doesn't even care about death. He even hopes to take this opportunity to attract people's attention. From then on, he will become famous and gain a group of admirers and followers ,
He treated the whole process as a game, and even asked the police to broadcast the process of arresting him live on the Internet, otherwise he would kill the poor woman with a bomb.

Fortunately, the police finally caught the kidnappers. Unfortunately, the hostages were tied up in the basement and may die at any time.

The kidnapper promised to tell the police the exact location of the hostages. He made the condition that the police still cannot cut off the live broadcast during the rescue of the hostages.

I don't know if he was insane for being on camera, or for some other reason, but due to the urgent situation at the time, Jiang Ke agreed to his request on behalf of many parties.

It is precisely because of this that tens of millions of people watched the rescue operation through the Internet, and Xue Ran was no exception.

When the police rushed to the basement with the equipment, the hostages were already dying.

From the live video, it can be clearly seen that the hostage is a very ordinary middle-aged woman. She was tied to a fixed iron chair with five flowers, and she wore a dog collar around her neck. bomb,

The timer on the bomb kept making a countdown sound of "Da Da—— Da Da—" which became shorter and shorter, and the data on the display showed that there was only 1 minute left before the bomb would self-explode.

Due to the complexity of the internal circuit design of the modified bomb, experts cannot disassemble it in a short time. The only way is to turn to the bomb maker, the kidnapper himself.

The hostage was very desperate at the time, and seemed to have no hope of his own survival, and even began to confess his last words in front of the camera, which aroused a large number of people who condemned the incompetence of the police. Under pressure, Jiang Ke had to negotiate with the kidnappers again ,

The kidnapper was a bearded, plain-looking middle-aged man. Facing the police interrogating him, he just tilted his head and leaned on the back of his chair bored, seemingly indifferent to everything that happened around him.

Jiang Ke discussed with him as calmly as possible and said:

"As long as the hostage is rescued, you can get a leniency to reduce the sentence as appropriate, but if the hostage dies, you can only..."

"Hahaha……"

However, the other party didn't bother with his proposal at all, and laughed exaggeratedly before he finished speaking. Jiang Ke suddenly realized that nothing could threaten a person without awe, let alone a mere prison disaster.

"You can put conditions,"

So far, he can only take this approach, after all, rescuing the hostages is the first priority.

"As long as you mention it, we will try our best to satisfy you!"

The kidnapper was still not paying attention, and even played charades with him jokingly:

"What do I want, how about you guess?"

"you!"

Jiang Ke clenched his fists angrily, barely restraining the urge to punch him in the head.

money, power, women...

He had said everything he could think of, but he still couldn't guess what the other party wanted. At this moment, the walkie-talkie at his waist rang, and he pressed the answer button, and heard the voice of an agent at the scene. Excited said:

"Inspector Jiang, there is only one last step left to dismantle the bomb, but experts say that the zero line of fire cannot be determined, and there are... ten seconds left."

Jiang Ke turned his head to look at the TV. There was a certain delay in the live broadcast. Then he saw the bright red number displayed by the bomb on the hostage's neck.

nineteen……

Time was shortening, and anxiety and fear were intertwined and spreading. In desperation, he grabbed the kidnapper by the collar and asked:
"Is it the blue line or the red line?!"

The other party didn't speak, just laughed.

eight...seven...

Jiang Ke gritted his teeth. Facing the kidnapper's confident attitude, he could only control violence with violence, so he drew out his knife and looked at him fiercely.

"Say! Otherwise, I'll chop off your fingers one by one and feed them to the dogs!"

Seeing that the little finger was about to be chopped off with a knife, the kidnapper let go and said,
"blue line."

five...four...

Jiang Ke breathed a sigh of relief, and the moment he raised the walkie-talkie, he realized something and stopped suddenly.

—— "What do I want? Or you can guess."

At this moment, he seemed to suddenly understand that the kidnappers had gone to great lengths and asked the police to broadcast live the process of rescuing the hostages. This puzzling request was just an attempt to use it as a means of publicity to expand the spread of the incident. and influence,
In his eyes, this kidnapping is just a game, and he wants more people to witness his victory.

The purpose of the kidnappers has always been to detonate the bomb, and they will never give the correct answer.

Jiang Ke's eyes froze, and he said sharply to the person on the other end of the walkie-talkie:
"Red line! It's a red line!"

three two……

At the last second, the bomb disposal officer cut the red wire, and a deafening bang followed.

At the same time, after a few seconds of piercing electrical sound on the TV, the screen was instantly pitch black.

...he guessed wrong.

The modified bomb with a built-in at least 500gT-NT exploded in an instant, killing the hostages and the bomb disposal personnel, and this scene was actually staged in the eyes of tens of millions of people as a live broadcast.

Jiang Ke felt his eyes go dark, as if an invisible force squeezed his heart and lungs, making him breathless.

It was him who thought he was smart and made such a serious mistake, which made him unable to forgive himself for the rest of his life...

"A group of idiots," at this moment, the kidnapper's voice sounded in his ears:

"Do you think I've worked so hard to make a bomb just for you to dismantle it?"

He let out a disdainful snort, and said casually:
"A bomb can't be defused, it can only be detonated. No matter which thread you cut, it will explode!"

It turned out that all of this was his design, and he was played by the other party from the beginning to the end!
While Jiang Ke fell into prolonged shock and self-blame, Xue Ran in front of the TV could not recover for a long time... This was the first time she witnessed death with her own eyes.

She couldn't help thinking, if she could expose the lies, wouldn't there be tragedies?

Originally capable of saving a life, but watching her die, is it no different from killing this person?
　
　In the room, Xue Ran was lying on the bed thinking about the problem that had been bothering her all this time, and suddenly felt a little itchy neck, as if being licked by a soft tongue,
She opened her eyes suddenly, but saw that the surroundings were empty, as usual,
Just when she was surprised, a text message suddenly popped up on the screen of the mobile phone next to her pillow. She poked her head around and saw that the content was:
[Congratulations on passing the interview, please report on time at [-]:[-] tomorrow morning. 】
