Black Lotus villain disguise strategy

Coming out of the revolving door, Xue Ran casually raised his eyes, saw the oil painting on the wall, and his heart stopped suddenly!
　People always have an inexplicable fear of something, no matter how many times they re-experience the feeling,
She turned her head hastily, and walked forward in a hurry, rubbing her eyes desperately, trying to wipe away the weird color in front of her eyes, but before her vision recovered, she slammed into someone hard,
"Ouch!"

The force of the hedge was a bit heavy, Xue Ran lost his footing and fell to the ground. She stroked her painful forehead, and frowned,
Raising her head, she saw a thin and tall boy in front of her, with handsome eyebrows at first glance, she saw a blush on the other's pale cheeks, and the red tide slowly moved towards the roots of the ears,

"Excuse me, are you alright?"

The young man extended his hand friendly, but Xue Ran ignored him, staring at his clearly lined palm, stood up neatly after a few seconds, and walked past him expressionlessly...

After walking for a long time, she suddenly felt very strange, as if this body was her own, but her thoughts were completely out of control. Did she sneak into other people's thoughts, or who corrupted hers?
Xue Ran felt that she was in a dream, and felt that the dream seemed to have happened in real life, existing in the depths of her mind, scattered like fragments of damaged memory, unable to connect the cause and effect, but always able to remember some insignificant details. clear,

Xue Ran stopped suddenly, recalling that when she saw the oil painting just now, she was clearly looking up.

She lowered her eyes to look at her wrists, and was surprised that the bones in those hands were as slender as a child's. When she raised her head again, she found that the walls around the corridor had turned into smooth mirrors, and they were slowly surrounding her.

Suddenly, she saw clearly the person in the mirror...the girl with short hair.

Is it a hallucination, or herself?
She stretched out her hand dazedly and apprehensively, and the moment her fingertips touched it, the mirror broke suddenly, accompanied by scattered glass shards, Xue Ran woke up from the dream——

She half stood up, held her forehead for a long time, thinking in confusion:

The scene in the dream, was she seeing the oil painting again, or... the first time?
——"Don't drink the water here, eat anything here."

"Once you're in this place, you can't get out."

Could it be...an addictive drug?

Thinking of what the man in black said, Xue Ran got up and poured half a glass of water on the table into the sewer.

　She took out the earphones and was about to turn them on, but felt that even she herself was in a fog at the moment, and imposing this uneasy feeling on the other party would inevitably cause people to worry.

What's more, with Jiang Xun's temperament, if he came to save himself recklessly, he would be in danger instead, so he thought about it and went back.
For some reason, she seemed to instinctively feel that although this person Bai Zi was mysterious and unpredictable, he would not really hurt her.

I just felt that going on like this was not an option, and it was time to ask him clearly.
.
"Where's she?" Bai Xin said with a serious face, "A group of idiots, you can't even look down on a single person!"

"Yes, I'm sorry Brother Zi, we woke up early in the morning and knocked on the door, and she..."

"Hurry up and look for it!" He interrupted impatiently, "If no one can be found within 10 minutes, you can also disappear."

His clear voice seemed to be smiling, but it made people shudder when he heard it. The cold sweat of the men in black didn't have time to wipe off, and it dispersed in an instant.

Bai Zinc turned around, clenched his fists and walked forward quickly,
Sure enough, she was too careless, and she disappeared under her nose!
Bai Zining walked through the revolving door in a rage, and when he entered, he saw Xue Ran's cold back standing in the middle of the hall, sizing up the oil painting in front of him with folded arms,

He loosened his clenched fists, and walked towards the person in front of him at a slow pace, his gloomy face changed, and he became that white zinc with a hippie smile in an instant,

"Sister Xue Ran,"

He smiled slightly and said, "What are you doing here?"

Xue Ran did not avoid Bai Zi who was approaching her as usual, stared at the painting without squinting and asked:

"Whose masterpiece is this?"

Bai Xin paused, and said, "The boss wrote it himself."

"Who is your boss?"

Turning to see him staring at her smiling expression without saying a word, Xue Ran didn't continue to ask, and said directly:

"Why didn't you tell me," she looked up into the other's eyes,
"There is a problem with the water and food in this place? Could it be... drugs?"

　Bai Zinc shook his head, as if he wasn't very surprised by her sudden doubt, and said, "It's not drugs, it's just some psychoactive drugs."

"Psychotropic drugs?"

"The boss is cautious in employing people. Everyone will take psychotropic drugs from the beginning of entering the group. Drug control will eventually turn into mental control."

Are you also controlled in this way?

Xue Ran didn't ask, and said, "Are you also using these medicines on me now?"

She couldn't help but wonder, are these psychotropic drugs the same as the hallucinogenic drugs that Duan Ling studied before?
"You don't need to tell me, you understand," Bai Zinc said:

"But don't worry, the medicine will not cause harm to the human body, but,"

He shrugged and said: "If some people defect from the organization and stop taking medication, the nervous system will be affected after a long time. You won't do that, so there is no need to worry."

In other words, I don't want to suffer mental pain for the rest of my life, unless I die here.

"Could it be that you, and other people in this group, are so willingly controlled by others?" Xue Ran couldn't understand.

"Everyone joins the organization either because of money or for other reasons, and they always have to pay a price as a contract to show their loyalty."

... Gradually, he became a puppet manipulated by others.

This is her final ending?
.
On the way back, Xue Ran found that the black-clothed man had disappeared, and even the news about him had disappeared, as if the world had evaporated.
Back in the room, she quickly locked the door, thinking that it wasn't long, she should not be addicted to drugs,
Feeling that the situation has reached the point where she can't control it, Xue Ran plugged in the earphones without talking nonsense, and said directly when he heard the other party's voice:
"I found the IP of Baizi's computer, but I don't know if it's useful."

She thought to herself that if she didn't deliberately fortify, Ding Baiyi's hacking skills might be able to locate her location.

Hearing the eagerness of the other party's tone, Jiang Xun couldn't help feeling a little worried, "Are you okay?"

Xue Ran didn't explain to him, but quickly read the string of numbers she wrote down before, and said:
　"I'm fine, I won't explain so much first, wait..."

Before she finished speaking, she heard a "click", and the locked door was opened from the outside. Xue Ran didn't even have time to take off the earphones, and watched Bai Zi at the door walking towards him.
"you!"

She looked at Bai Zinc standing in front of her, stared at herself for a while with a half smile but not a smile, she didn't speak, but pulled out a stool and sat down directly opposite.

Jiang Xun didn't know the situation, and was about to ask, when he heard Xue Ran's voice in the earphone, saying:
"You already knew?"

Bai Zi raised his eyebrows without saying yes or no.

"You in the end..."

Xue Ran couldn't help clenching his fists... What kind of trick was he playing?
"What is the purpose? It is necessary to beat around the bush in order to kill or cut? Or, is this some so-called...mental torture?"

"I told you," Bai Zinc said, "it won't hurt you."

Looking at the person in front of him, Xue Ran breathed a sigh of relief, feeling his heart tighten.
"You won't tell me that you are actually my younger brother?"

Seeing him burst into laughter, "Haha, why do you think so?"

Bai Zi stood up, took a step towards her slowly, slightly raised his eyebrows and said:

"You really don't remember this place?"

"Why do I remember..."

Xue Ran paused, and suddenly recalled the indescribable and unexplainable sense of familiarity.

"Who is the first person you meet in this world?"

He smiled slightly, his introductory tone was very gentle,

"Still can't remember?"

Absurd speculations crawled into his heart, Xue Ran buried his face and pressed his temples with a headache, feeling as if his brain was about to explode.
"Xue Ran!"

"Xue Ran!"

She heard Jiang Xun's voice, but she had no time to respond,

When exactly did she come here, and who is the so-called Boss Xue that Bai Zinc is talking about?
——If some people rebel from the organization and stop taking medication, the nervous system will be affected after a long time...

Influence, is it...

Everything in her cognition is actually the sequelae of psychotropic drugs?
Fear arises spontaneously, Xue Ran can't help thinking,

Is she crazy?
"In this world, the first person you meet is not Liang Xueli,"

Bai Zi said and pressed her slightly trembling shoulder: "It's Boss Xue."

Feeling that the imprisonment hidden somewhere in his body seemed to be broken, and the dusty memory gradually became clearer, Xue Ran raised his head in horror,
"You are lying to me!"

"Even if I can lie to you, if other people lie to you, won't you be able to see it?" Bai Zinc said:

"You're not crazy, you just forgot, they erased your memory."

"The boss first met you and named you Xue Ran. He brought you back to the group as the subject of experiment E6109."

Xue Ran's pupils trembled.

In the flashing memory, the smell of tobacco in her nostrils was extremely strong, and she saw the man's big and rough palm stroking the top of her hair.

"'Outsiders' like you who have no identity records are usually treated by the group as subjects for drug experiments. The boss likes you very much, so he didn't do that. He kept you by his side. After a period of time, he took you Hand it over to An Yu."

　An Yu!

Xue Ran frowned, An Yu's face appeared in front of her eyes, she was younger and more beautiful than now, she seemed to see a woman wearing a gorgeous blue evening dress, leaning on the armrest of the sofa and hooking her hands,
　"Come here, let me see you."

Closing her eyes, the picture suddenly changed, she found herself sitting in a private car, the air was filled with the familiar smell of tobacco, the man beside her lit a cigar,
The car stopped slowly, the man opened the window, as if he was greeting someone outside, Xue Ran heard the other person's voice, and knew it was the woman named An Yu,
She glanced out of the window casually, saw the woman's delicate side face, and saw a boy she was leading, staring at herself intently,

After staring at him for a long time, Xue Ran averted his gaze first, thinking lightly:

Where does she seem to have seen this boy...

Everything she had experienced so far flashed before her eyes, and her chaotic brain connected these deep or shallow memories together,

The criminal group, An Yu, the Special Investigation Bureau...

As if waking up suddenly at this moment, Xue Ran took a deep breath, his heart almost stopped beating,
That boy, he turned out to be... Jiang Xun? !
