Chapter 388: The Dead Man, Jiang Ran
Chapter 388: The Dead Man, Jiang Ran
After capturing the evidence, he turned and left with a cool demeanor.Discussing who is the most famous escape artist in history.
Liu Bei definitely qualifies.
Fighting repeatedly, losing repeatedly, yet always managing to escape successfully.
"Fleeing Liu" is not an undeserved nickname.
Of course, Cao Cao was also very skilled at escaping.
During the Battle of Puyang, pursued by Lü Bu, he narrowly escaped death.
During the Battle of Wancheng, pursued by Zhang Xiu, he narrowly escaped death.
The Battle of Red Cliffs was the same.
From this, we can see that those who achieve great things must be adept at fleeing.
Because even someone as formidable as Boss Cao would suffer defeats.
If his escape skills weren't up to par and he was captured, history would have been rewritten.
So, ordinary people must also learn to escape wisely.
Jiang Ran's escape skills are average, but he knows that with the surroundings pitch black, as long as he flees into the darkness, he will be safe.
Surely, the other side doesn't have night vision eyes or high-tech night vision goggles, right?!
Just as he turned and ran seven steps.
A flying hammer from behind struck his lower back hard.
This blow was powerful and heavy.
He was directly knocked to the ground by the hammer, clutching the area of his waist that was hit, crying out in pain.
Seven steps, seven steps.
While crying out in pain, Jiang Ran thought of Cao Zhi.
At this critical moment of life and death.
Those four lines actually popped into his mind: "Beans are boiled with beanstalks as fuel, beans weep in the pot..."
"Born of the same root, why the urgency to torment each other..."
Jiang Ran knew now was not the time for random thoughts, so he quickly got up, preparing to continue fleeing.
But, just as he stood up, his buttocks took another kick.
Causing him to fall to the ground again.
Only this time, he fell sideways.
After falling, clutching his buttocks and then his waist, he looked behind him.
He saw, behind him.
Fatty and the short guy, like the others, lying in a pool of blood, motionless.
And that tall, burly man had already come before him, picking up the blood-stained hammer from the ground.
He was staring at him with a sinister smile.
This scene, this situation, made Jiang Ran realize again that this was just like when he was at the hotel on Macedonia Island.
Being pursued by that Korean deranged serial killer, Liu Yongchun.
But back then.
Xiao Q and the other two appeared halfway like Cheng Yaojin, saving his life.
Now, who could possibly save him?
Surely, Xiao Q and the other two couldn't be reincarnated from the ashes?
Step by step, approaching Jiang Ran, the burly man raised the iron hammer in his hand high.
Aiming at Jiang Ran's head.
Jiang Ran's body kept wriggling backward.
He said in terror, "Brave man! Dare you reveal your name?!"
The burly man, Wilderness Brother, was stunned for a moment, probably not expecting this turn of events.
He then said, "I am Wilderness Brother."
"Good! Wilderness Brother! Do you want money or something?! As long as you spare my life, anything can be discussed!!!!"
Wilderness Brother gave a cold laugh, seemingly understanding the principle that long nights bring many dreams. Without uttering a word, the hammer head was already raised high, and the next second, it directly fell.
That blood-stained hammer head was magnifying countless times in Jiang Ran's black pupils.
Jiang Ran shouted loudly, "If you kill me, you will regret it!!!!"
"Regret?"
Wilderness Brother had killed many people.
But all those people he killed, before dying, pleaded for mercy, cursed, and the like.
Yet not a single one said that killing them would cause him regret.
"If you say killing someone leads to regret, my greatest regret is killing my own father."
When the hammer head was still half a meter from Jiang Ran.
A familiar mechanical voice emerged in Jiang Ran's mind:
[Detected that the host has encountered a fatal crisis, consuming 1000 points to awaken an alternate personality!]
Jiang Ran's consciousness began to gradually fade, losing control over his body.
Another stream of consciousness began to take control of the body.
Bang!
Just as this alternate personality took control of the body.
The hammer had already struck hard at the front of Jiang Ran's head.
Instantly, a spray of blood erupted, and the mangled, bloody area looked horrifying.
The alternate personality had now completely taken over the body.
He felt pain all over, especially the pain caused by that last blow.
Streams of red blood flowed from the area at the front of his head, down over his face.
Soon, his face was covered by his own blood.
Looking exceptionally gruesome.
As Wilderness Brother finished the first hammer strike and prepared for the second.
He suddenly froze.
Because he saw the Jiang Ran before him.
Suddenly extend his right hand from his chin, wiping upward over his head.
After wiping a handful of blood.
He then placed his palm before his mouth and licked it.
His tongue curled up a good amount of blood, delivering it into his mouth.
Then, he slowly stood up.
Staring straight at him.
In terms of physique.
Jiang Ran is of ordinary build.
While Wilderness Brother is a burly figure, several sizes wider than an ordinary person.
Additionally, Wilderness Brother's height is a full 185 cm.
While Jiang Ran's height, rounded, is 180 cm.
Belonging to the upper-middle range among ordinary people.
Height is a strange thing.
One centimeter is clearly just a tiny bit, but when applied to height, someone even one centimeter taller than you visually appears much taller.
Let alone two or three centimeters, four or five centimeters.
So, Jiang Ran looked like a small figure before Wilderness Brother, with no advantage at all.
But precisely this lack of advantage made Wilderness Brother's hammer stop mid-air.
Wilderness Brother actually sensed a dangerous feeling emanating from the Jiang Ran before him.
Especially the feeling Jiang Ran's eyes and body gave him, like that of a dead person.
An eerie feeling completely devoid of vitality.
But regardless of this, Wilderness Brother's hammer still swung down.
However, the descending hammer was violently knocked aside by Jiang Ran's left hand.
Wilderness Brother almost lost his grip on the hammer in his right hand.
This made his eyes widen in surprise.
The next second.
Jiang Ran's right fist had already struck, hitting his heart position hard.
Wilderness Brother only felt a sharp pain in his left chest.
But he laughed.
He directly threw the hammer he had just tightened his grip on in his right hand backward.
Then, his expression turned fierce, both fists clenched, striking toward Jiang Ran.
Seeing this, Jiang Ran lowered his gaze, similarly clenched both fists, and began fighting with the Wilderness Brother before him.
Both sides moved quickly, and it was the kind of fight where every punch landed on flesh.
And both sides maintained an unspoken agreement.
That was not to use any other weapons.
Only fists.
Moreover, both sides, regarding the punches thrown by the other.
Offered no defense at all, allowing the opponent's fists to strike their bodies.
Thus, in just two short minutes.
Whether it was Jiang Ran or Wilderness Brother, their faces and exposed skin everywhere were covered in purple-red bruises.
As for whose injuries were more severe, it was definitely Jiang Ran.
Because Jiang Ran's physical condition was completely incomparable to the Wilderness Brother before him.
In this fight, he was the disadvantaged party.
He wanted to use combat skills to compensate, but the other's combat skills, killing techniques, were also expert-level.
Therefore, he couldn't compensate.
Only the most primitive method remained: trading injury for injury.
Wilderness Brother also understood this principle.
Therefore, his tactic was to see who could endure longer, him or Jiang Ran.
