Substitute Shadow God Ascension Project

In the end it always backfires.

The untouched food was like a joke in front of him, he smiled wryly.After all, that pale and panicked face made him unbearable, he opened his mouth, and just wanted to comfort him, at this moment, a voice that could almost be called begging drifted into his ears before he could speak.

Xiang Ran looked up at him, and said eagerly, "Just this time, okay? I'll see him for the last time tomorrow."

"No!" Zhou Chao refused very thoroughly, his tone was quite decisive, and the warmth that had arisen in his heart just now was instantly extinguished by the cold water.

This was the expected answer. Although he was mentally prepared, his heart still shrank suddenly. Xiang Ran looked straight at the past and smiled sadly.He was suddenly disappointed and disgusted by all this. He didn't know when the days of fear and no free space would end. Anger was burning unscrupulously in his chest, and the anger that was almost extinguished had nowhere to go. Finally he stood up abruptly, Sweep all the dishes on the table to the ground in one breath.

There was a loud crash, and the ground was in chaos.

Xiang Ran panted and glared at Zhou Chao viciously.He watched this man calmly from beginning to end, without even blinking his eyelids.There was no emotion on his calm face.Frustration arose spontaneously, he was no match for him anyway, and was defeated again.

"Have you had enough trouble? Are you feeling at ease?" Zhou Chao smiled, put down his job, and with a smile on his face, his voice did not have any warmth, and repeated again: "You can't even think about going to the press conference tomorrow."

For a whole morning, Xiang Ran sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows in a daze, motionless and silent.The blue sky and white clouds outside the window, the sun was shining brightly, and half of the city was shrouded in gold.He greedily looks out at the outside world like a canary bound in a golden cage.

"Click!" The door lock turned and opened in response.

He was sleepy and didn't want to look back, the only way he could come in and out of this house was Zhou Chao, who trapped him here forcefully.He came back just to reconfirm that his prey was still under control.

"Brother Ran." A crisp voice broke the silence of the room.

Xiang Ran turned around in astonishment, "Xiaobai? Why are you here?"

"Brother Zhou said that you are in a bad mood, so let me accompany you." Xiaobai smiled and walked lightly to his side.

Xiang Ran smiled, and cast his cool eyes out of the window again.

Tall buildings stand row upon row, and the buildings in the distance reflect a dazzling light in the sun. From this height, cars look like models, and pedestrians are like dust.

After an unknown amount of time, he heard Xiao Bai calling himself timidly, he turned his head and shifted his gaze to him.

"Brother Ran, do you really want to go to the press conference?"

Xiang Ran sneered, with helplessness in his voice: "So what?"

"I have a way to take you to the press conference." Xiao Bai smiled mysteriously.

Xiang Ran looked at him steadfastly, with an imperceptible light in his eyes.

"Brother Ran, if you believe me, follow me."

"But..." Xiang Ran was a little loose: "Xiaobai, why did you help me? If you do this, Zhou Chao will not let you go."

Xiao Baiteng stood up suddenly, grabbed Xiang Ran's wrist, smiled all over his face, and looked excited, "Brother Ran, you are the best person in the world to me, and I can't repay you for lending me money. The only thing I can help you with. Don't worry, Brother Zhou will scold me at most, so don't worry about it." While talking, he pushed him to the bedroom, "Hurry up and change your clothes."

Xiang Ran, who had changed his clothes, followed behind Xiaobai anxiously. Xiaobai looked calm, opened the door unhurriedly, looked at the expressionless bodyguard, and said calmly: "We are going to go now. Going shopping. Move out of the way, please."

The two bodyguards stood still.

"What are you doing? Mr. Zhou only said that we were not allowed to go to the press conference, but he didn't say that we were not allowed to go out. Are you going to lock us up at home like a prisoner?" Xiaobai said angrily. "Do you want to be lazy and stay at home? Tell you, dreaming! We are going to the most crowded shopping mall now, give me sharp eyes, protect our brother Ran, and don't get lost!"

The articulate and domineering appearance is completely different from the submissive Xiaobai before.Xiaobai ignored Xiang Ran's surprised expression, and directly pulled him away.

The two bodyguards looked at each other wordlessly, and followed swiftly.

"Brother Ran, I think this white shirt is very suitable for you. Brother Zhou will definitely like it when you wear it." Xiao Bai took a piece of clothing and gestured in front of Xiang Ran.

Xiang Ran glanced at the bodyguard who was on guard two steps away, only feeling flustered, turned his head to meet Xiao Bai's gaze, and saw him blinking his eyes lightly, with a half-smile on his face.He understood immediately.

"Go and try it!"

"I feel good too, Xiaobai, come in with me and help me take a look." Xiang Ran took the clothes and walked to the fitting room, Xiaobai followed closely behind.

"Hey! The two of you just wait at the door." Xiaobai smiled and stopped the bodyguard who wanted to follow.

The two bodyguards hesitated and stood outside the door.

Xiaobai sneaked in in a hurry, found Xiang Ran, looked around, and said seriously: "Brother Ran, my friend is an employee of this store. From the fitting room here, you can directly enter the employee lounge, and the employees rest. There are other exits from the room, follow me, hurry up."

Xiang Ran followed Xiaobai and took a few shortcuts, and in a blink of an eye, he left the shopping mall without anyone noticing, easily throwing off the bodyguards.

"Great, Xiaobai, thank you. I have something to do, so you don't have to follow me." Xiang Ran took a deep breath of the outside air, the sun was shining warmly on his body, and the feeling of freedom made him feel refreshed.

"Brother Ran, let me follow you. If anything happens, the two of you can take care of each other." Xiao Bai grabbed his arm tightly and said sincerely.

"That's fine." Xiang Ran thought about it, turned around and smiled, "Lend me your phone to make a call."

The press conference was held on the spot.

Yan Yan, who was about to play, always felt a little restless. Since seeing Rong Xia, his left eyelid began to twitch slightly, which is definitely not a good sign.Just now, Rong Xia's gaze always swept over him vaguely, this action aggravated the beating of his eyelids, and even made his heart beat a little faster.

"Ring bell bell."

The phone in his hand rang loudly, making him shiver involuntarily.Upon closer inspection, it was an unfamiliar number.

"Xiao Yan, get ready to go on stage." Xu Zhi urged.

He hesitated for a few seconds, then pressed the call button. "Hi! Hello, who is this?"

"It's me, Xiang Ran. I have something to ask you face to face. Let's meet."

"Xiang Ran?! Sure. Where shall we meet?"

"I'll wait for you near the press conference."

Xu Zhi urged anxiously on the side, Yan Yan had no choice but to hastily said: "Okay, okay, please send me the address. I'm going to play, so hang up first."

Xiang Ran, who sat in the taxi and finished hanging up the phone, let out a soft breath, and the doubts that had plagued him for many days were about to be solved.

At the same time, the bodyguards who were left far behind were shocked. They searched all over the mall and found no progress, so they dialed Zhou Chao's phone in desperation.

When Xiang Ran was about to reach his destination, a text message came from his phone with a "ding".

He opened it and saw that it was the address from Yan Yu.His work was completed ahead of schedule, and a room was opened in the hotel, and he was asked to go directly to the hotel room to find him.

For some reason, a strange feeling crossed his mind.However, this abnormality was quickly interrupted by the driver's sudden stop.

He got out of the car, turned to Xiaobai and said in a hurry: "Xiaobai, I have an appointment with a friend to talk about something, you can sit down at any restaurant, if you have anything to do, let's call."

After Xiaobai nodded clearly, he strode towards the agreed hotel room.

In the process of getting out of the elevator and walking to the room, the uneasiness became more and more intense.Standing in front of the door, Xiang Ran tried his best to suppress the sudden uneasiness, raised his hand and pressed the doorbell.

The moment the door opened, before he had time to see who was coming, his mouth and nose were tightly covered by a wet towel. He was instantly top-heavy, his eyes went dark, his hands and feet were weak, and he didn't even have the strength to move a finger. Horrified to the extreme.This became his last memory before coma.Immediately afterwards, consciousness fell into a bottomless abyss.

After an unknown amount of time, Xiang Ran opened his eyes in a daze.His eyes were blurred, but the tearing pain that followed almost made him faint again.Except that his eyesight was still blurred, his other senses were recovering little by little. He clearly felt that he was being suppressed by a strange man, and an indescribable part of his lower body was being brutally violated.

I was stunned!

Memories of before coma came back, fear followed by nausea.He almost subconsciously wanted to call for help, but stopped the moment his eyes began to focus.

He hadn't seen the suspect's face fully and clearly yet, just those fierce eyes were enough to make him shudder, and the small mole right under the eyes made a picture flash through his mind quickly—two months ago , On that seldom-traveled wilderness path, with the light of the flashlight accidentally swept, he suddenly caught a small black mole under the eye of one of the perpetrators the moment he turned his head.

It's the same person!

Aware of this, Xiang Ran tried his best to hold back the pain that was almost dying, and opened his eyes wide, trying to engrave his appearance in his eyes.However, the moment he looked over, the wet towel was covered again.Before losing consciousness, he heard a voice with an accent.

"Fuck! Why is he awake! I won't be seen!"
