Black Lotus villain disguise strategy

Xue Ran was walking on the road, and happened to be on the same road with a black-clothed man holding documents beside him.

The other party walked without looking sideways, so she secretly glanced at the contents of the information,

Before he could see the handwriting clearly, he raised his eyes and suddenly saw Jiang Xun's white figure flashing past not far away, Xue Ran's heart tightened when he saw it, and he quickly turned the man in black in front of him, who looked at her in surprise,
"Uh……"

She was at a loss for words for a while, so she had no choice but to say, "Where... Where is Boss Xue?"

"The boss has something to go out."

"Then... when will he come back?"

"I don't know."

"Yeah." Xue Ran nodded, seeing Jiang Xun's figure disappear out of sight out of the corner of his eye, and let him go away.

She lowered her eyes, subconsciously put her hands in her pockets and meditated,
What does Xue Shiyan seem to be busy with recently?
Important deal?

While thinking about it, she unconsciously walked to the door of the white zinc room, and suddenly remembered that he came to find her last night, as if she had something to say. 
Xue Ran then turned his head and walked up. He was about to knock on the door when Ah Qiu who was standing outside the door raised his hand and stopped him.

"I'm sorry, Miss Xue, Brother Zi just ordered that no one should be allowed in."

"Oh."

Xue Ran was making fun of himself, turned his head and was about to walk away, when he suddenly heard a deafening sound of "ping, bell, bang, bang" in the room, he couldn't help but stop, his eyes became suspicious,
"Is he in there? What is he doing?"

"This one……"

Ah Qiu looked distressed, he was still struggling, suddenly there was a more violent noise in the room, one after another, those who didn't know it thought someone was fighting inside,

Xue Ran instantly realized that something was wrong, and looked at the person in front of him sternly.

"Step aside!"

"Miss Xue."

Ah Qiu looked back at her with a complicated expression. He hesitated for a while, but finally moved and stood by the door. Xue Ran then twisted the doorknob and walked in quickly.

As soon as I entered, I was shocked by the scene in front of me. The room was in a mess. Everything that could be dropped was smashed to pieces. There were glass and ceramic fragments all over the floor.

Xue Ran's shocked eyes moved away from the ground, and after turning around, he saw Bai Zi who was leaning against the corner,
There was a glaring pool of blood around him, his bloody hand was picking up the debris on the ground, and he was about to scratch his wrist,
Xue Ran was startled, and suddenly understood how those scars on his hands came from earlier,

She stepped forward and grabbed Bai Zinc violently, and found that the other person's body was light and light, as if she was about to fall if she pulled him.
The ceramic piece in the latter's hand fell to the ground with a "stab", the sound was too harsh, Xue Ran took a deep breath, feeling the temperature of the skin under his palm was terribly cold, at this moment Bai Zi looked up at him, but his eyes were Without focus, the eyes are slack,
　He was trembling all over at the moment, and the frequency was simply creepy!
"Hey! You, what's wrong with you?!"

"Sister Xue Ran, it's you..."

She felt her scalp go numb, looking at the person in front of her as if switching between different personalities, her eyes were sometimes fierce, with a ferocious face like a bloodthirsty demon, and sometimes sad, like a wounded young child, powerless and clumsy to seek protection,

Xue Ran was terrified, when Bai Xin grabbed his sleeves with both hands, and heard his hoarse voice growl again and again:

"Kill me! Kill me!!"

Bai Xin grabbed her arm, unconsciously using force with his palm, his brain instinctively wanted to smash or break anything he could grasp around him, Xue Ran couldn't help gritting his teeth, but he still let him grab like this,

It seemed that he was experiencing some kind of heart-piercing pain. Seeing Bai Zin bit his lower lip, and even the blood from the bite overflowed from the corner of his lip, he seemed to be unconscious.
His scarlet eyes were wet, and there was a begging sound in his throat,
"Kill me,...please,...kill me..."

Sitting awkwardly in the messy bloodstains, he looked completely different from usual, he was not a sarcastic, nor a serious one,
Xue Ran couldn't help but think of the scene when he walked through the secret passage in the room and saw Bai Zi,
Looking at the familiar face in front of her, she felt a little angry, but also a little relieved. The mixed emotions finally turned into a sentence,
Sure enough, you are the undercover agent hiding in 'IS'—

"Bai Zinc, cheer up!"

"I'm so uncomfortable, I'm in so much pain..."

He grabbed the person in front of him so hard that his knuckles turned blue,　
　"Help me... who will save me..."

Xue Ran couldn't help frowning, she couldn't imagine how many days and nights he spent in such a dark place, how he had to survive physical and mental torture, so as not to be assimilated by the surrounding environment,

Enduring the severe pain in her arm, she felt a dull pain somewhere in her heart. She couldn't bear to see him like this, so she simply grabbed the other person's head and pressed it on her shoulder, saying in a calm voice:
"I'm here to save you. Look, you don't have to support yourself anymore. I'm still here."

She put her hands on Bai Zinc's back, doing comforting movements, and soon felt her shoulders were wet, and the frequency of his sobbing gradually calmed down.

Feeling that Bai Zi's mood had stabilized a little, Xue Ran raised his head, glanced around the room for a while, saw a finger-sized glass medicine bottle on the coffee table, and instantly understood,
He looks like this, not because he took drugs, but because he wants to quit those addictive substances,

What is contained in the glass medicine bottle is the relieving agent secretly developed by white zinc in the 'IS' for many years. In order to avoid possible drug intake and lead to addiction, he previously gave these relieving agents to Xue Ran, but he personally did not did not use,

After all, more than ten years have passed, and his body has already become dependent on these addictive drugs. If he wants to use relievers to quit the year-round drug demand, not only the body can't bear it, but also the spirit may not be able to bear it.
For this body that has been paralyzed by drugs for more than ten years, one can imagine how difficult the process of quitting drugs is, so he hurt himself and relied on physical pain to distract and divert attention.

Xue Ran couldn't imagine what he was feeling at the moment, but he seemed to be able to deeply feel the pain of the other party,

She lowered her head and listened to him whimpering intermittently, with an indistinct sound coming from her throat,
"I... I don't care at all, I'm not afraid of being dragged to hell,

But when I saw you, Sister Xue Ran, I suddenly... suddenly didn't want to go on like this anymore, "

He grabbed the opponent's arm very hard, like a person who fell from a high altitude and desperately grabbed the rope, exhaustedly seeking life on the verge of death,

"Sister Xue Ran, I want to die clearly, I don't want to rot..."

"You won't die, I won't let you die."

Looking at the person in front of him, Xue Ran clasped his trembling shoulders, and heard the voice in his mind,
I remembered, I remembered everything, the person who saved me back then was you...

She finally knew where the inexplicable trust in Bai Zi came from.

The underground garage, the boy who rescued himself, is white zinc,

He came to 'IS' initially as a test case for money exchange, but his real identity was actually an undercover agent placed by the police in the group. As a child of only eight years old, his psychology and motives were more complicated than ordinary undercover agents.

At that time, Bai Zi let her go secretly, turned around and continued to fall into that nightmare-like cage, it must have required a lot of courage and perseverance.

He hid his fragility too deeply. It was only at this moment that Xue Ran suddenly realized the person in front of him.

In front of her, Bai Zi will show her naughty side, and will pretend to be cynical and coquettish with her to please her, but that is not him, or it is just a part of Bai Zi that she shows to her.

　Only by playing the required role and skillfully mobilizing one's emotions can one come and go freely in such a place. He has too many masks. Because of his unique potential, all of Bai Zinc's disguises are penetrating, but he is inevitably lost own,

He is struggling and pulling all the time, his battered soul is constantly being broken and repaired, but there is a faint voice in his heart, which will alert him to the moment he has been relying on and sticking to when he is haunted by nightmares and is about to fall into the abyss faith,
Xue Ran only felt that at this moment, he seemed to see that young figure again, shrouded in darkness, alone, running and disappearing into the darkness.

Probably because of distress or gratitude, facing Bai Zinc, Xue Ran unconsciously had a desire to protect him, just like when he saved himself regardless of the danger of revealing his identity,
She swore in her heart that she must take him out of here, get rid of the pain and haze, and walk into the sun thoroughly!

　The most difficult moment was finally over, Bai Zinc leaned his head against the wall, panting heavily,

His face was pale, his eyes were blurred, his eyelashes were stained with tiny tears, and he seemed to have not fully regained consciousness.

Xue Ran maintained a half-kneeling position with pain in her knees. She got up slightly, and caught a glimpse of Ah Qiu standing by her side at some point in the corner of her eye. She reached out and handed over a hot towel.

So she took the towel and wiped the blood stains on Bai Zinc's cheeks and the fine cold sweat on his forehead. The latter leaned against the wall motionless, his eyes slightly opened and closed.

Xue Ran was about to withdraw his hand when he felt the other's cold five fingers wrap around her wrist suddenly.

"I really... lost my composure."

His voice was weak, but still with a forced smile,
"...Sorry, sister Xue Ran."

Xue Ran looked down at the person in front of him, and felt the weak force of the other's fingertips pinch her wrist, and then let her go.

"Let him rest."

　She withdrew her eyes from Bai Zinc's face, stood up, glanced at the chaotic and destroyed room, a little ashamed, "This..."

"Don't worry, I will clean the room." Ah Qiu bowed slightly.

Xue Ran raised his eyes, and for the first time seriously looked at the man in front of him,
He is tall, of a strong and muscular type, with good facial features, and looks very handsome,

Xue Ran knows that Bai Zinc is actually a master of brainwashing people. He has been looking for loyal and reliable candidates in the group all year round, and then takes these people for his own use. Aqiu is one of his "followers". The closest to Bai Zinc, the one he trusts the most.

"Ah."

Xue Ran nodded, and was about to turn around when suddenly he turned around as if thinking of something, and asked casually:
　"By the way, do you have extra clean clothes?"
